They make some good sandwiches! You can't go wrong ordering anything here. The service is also amazing, and the people who work there are very kind and have a good energy. The restaurant has a clear and nice theme except for the random sun bum decorations. Overall this is definitely the best sandwich shop in South Lake and I would recommend coming here.

When you walk into Yellow Sub you aren’t just walking into a sandwich shop, you’re walking into an experience. If you want to support a small business, which would actually be cool of you since tahoe has morphed into a genterrific silicon-summerhome hellscape, this is one of the places you should hit up.Immediately upon entering the warp zone here and finding yourself in the doors of yellow sub, you’re greeted by chill employees.These guys are the greatest, as a sufferer of stage four picky eating, the employees are never judgmental when I ask for my usual sorry excuse for a sandwich, even though it’s sometimes a crime on sandwich building. Salem, one of the employees drew an excalibur (character) on my sandwich wrap because they know I like soul eater. (pictured below) That’s how you know these sandwiches are made with love.It goes without saying the sandwiches are honestly just good as hell. Every time I get something different I’m never disappointed. Unlike port of sub where I can’t even get a brownie without keeling over from subway levels of ‘freshness.’ I mean I don’t even like sandwiches that much tbh but I got put onto this place and the people need to hear this.There’s also just a lot of drink options which I dig. They straight up have more yerba matte flavors than the raleys does which really just says more about the raleys but I digress.Overall fun atmosphere with employees that are chill as hell. I ❤️ YELLOW SUB.

Not a fan. Across the street from a Port of Subs and the sandwich I had wasn't even as good as one of theirs. Not friendly, very slow, and the whole set up is kinda dirty looking. And they close at 4??

Great food and service! Sandwiches were delicious and worth the price. Couldn’t even finish a 6 inch they were so filling. Will definitely return!

Great old school subs with huge portions. One of the few places to offer gluten free rolls, which we greatly appreciate. Staff checked in to make sure we had everything we needed while eating. While I appreciate the portions, I would've given some up to save a couple bucks. A small sub for my son, and two larges on GF rolls for my wife and I came out to almost $75. I would definitely come back, except maybe we'll split one next time.

An amazing family owned business! Sandwiches are huge and the service is awesome. They handled our group of 10 with ease. Will come again when I'm in Tahoe

Local sandwich place that was great quality with amazing service. A half is really a good value because they load it up! Everything tasted very fresh on the veggie and the Dutch Crunch wasn't super hard like at other places. My partner had the Italian and he also loved it. The very nice guy at the register even brought our sandwiches out to us. Bummed I didn't get his name. When he saw we had a dog he even offered some deli meat! What a treat! The decor inside is a little dated but fits the style and gave it a homey vibe. They also have a restroom in the back! Super pet and vegetarian friendly!

Stale bread made for a very dry and disappointing sandwich!

I'm not sure if this sandwich shop had any relation to the Yellow Submarine in Sparks that was closed down but it definitely reminded me of it. It's the main reason we came here. Yellow Submarine was my favorite sandwich shop growing up so I was devastated when they closed their doors (I still am). We came here for lunch on a Saturday. They must've just opened when we came because two women were sitting at one of the tables, chatting until one of them got up to take our order. The sandwich shop is decently sized with about 4 tables, it's clean and decorated with bear decor. My bf ordered the yellow sub and I ordered the hot pastrami. It took awhile for our sandwiches to come out and when I received mine it was a cold sub instead of hot. Although they have the same menu as the Yellow Sub that closed in Sparks, they do not offer alfalfa sprouts. I may have set my expectations too high, the sandwiches were okay and the service could've been better.

Went this past Friday after driving up from LA and it was the best sandwich I have had in a while. The restaurant is super cute as well

Generous amount of meat and toppings. Super friendly, and have a cute little kid's corner filled with toys and books for the restless little ones. They sell whole dill pickles foe $2 & and my hubby accidentally threw half my pickle away and they immediately replaced it with a free new one. They also gave my son a sticker. Very sweet owner and staff. Regular sandwich was too big for me to eat, & the large one could easily feed a family of 4!

My family and I were visiting North Lake Tahoe for the New Year’s Holiday, and planned to take a day off skiing so that we could do a full “Lake Loop” around the entirety of the beautiful Lake Tahoe. Before we set out, I hunted for top-rated sandwiches shops on the South Lake Tahoe side, as the timing would be perfect for lunch.I ID’d Yellow Submarine as our destination, and without a doubt - it fully delivered! I had the Yellow Sub signture sandwich, add “Hots” - a slightly sweet and slightly spicy condiment. AMAZING. My wife had the Turkey Avocado and it was to die for. My son had a custom roast beef and cheese and was in heaven. The best part was that since the sandwiches were so big and plentiful, we each had a small portion to take with us To-Go, which we promptly consumed at our next stop along the Lake Loop journey.Thanks to Evan and the Yellow Sub crew - pls open a location down by us (Encinitas) soon!!
