If the original wife and husband are there this is where you want to be. I am very selective about food, and once again when the husband and wife were there one of the best subs Ive had down here. Including the tuna Bomb, the Chicken/steak bomb and I think it was the gator bomb. All were fantastic. Now just being honest I have been there twice when the old couple were not there and it wasnt even close to the same. Which is why Im giving 3 stars.
Maybe this is a developed regional taste. (There are plenty of those up north). But after the first bite of the steak bomb, it had a really muted flavor. Just sorta bland meat and sauce. Great service, friendly fast staff earned all 3 stars. But I went for the food so the search continues...
Ordered a Cajun chicken 12in got a steak. 2nd time this happened. I wouldve gone back but I was too far away to turn around. Learn to listen people.
My honest opinion on their steak subs isnt good. The roll sucked up everything and it was so soggy if the bun was toasted it might not have been so bad. But the steak was way to grisly for me. I ordered the garlic cheese fries Im not sure if the seasoning wasnt enough or what but they had very little taste. Crunchy and cooked right but no flavor.
I have eaten here 3 times this week because the subs are the best in town by far!!! Best steak and cheese. And by far the best teriyaki chicken sub you will ever get. It is a locally owned gem and I will be a continued customer. The owners are a delight and extremely pleasant and fast. Thank you for a great experience. 5/5 stars.
The subs here are the best! They make everyone elses seem so inferior! They are not stingy with the fixings and they just taste so good. I would eat their daily!
The subs are decent. I have 2 big problems:1. They ask for a tip when they print your receipt2. They got rid of the drink machine
The subs here are soooooo good, especially the cheese steaks! Everything tastes fresh!
All around best subs and service in town. Very friendly, clean, fresh, and quick. Lots of great choices and they always give you plenty. I highly recommend you take everyone you know. You dont know what your missing until you try it. This is whats getting me through 2020. ... Seriously, what are you waiting for? GO NOW!!!!!
Placed an online order really looking forward to trying the food. Showed up to find the place closed. After being ignored for 15 minutes while another customer banged on the door, someone came out and said they were not open. We told them we ordered and paid online, and they said wed be refunded. No apologies or anything.
Placed order online for 6 subs with fries and drinks. Food was not ready and needed to wait for 30 extra minutes beyond pickup window. When back home found most of the sandwiches missing toppings, i.e. lettuce, tomato, pickles... Due to taking so long to make, only made 1 or 2 subs at a time, most subs completely cold even though we only live 5-10 minutes away.
Absolutely the best service Ive had at a sub shop in my entire life. Food was wonderful too.
The staff are nice... the sub was very messy..the gator... staff did not wear gloves or wash hands between preparing each meal and touching other things... the cook did not properly wear her mask, she wore below her chin... with everything going on ...cleanliness and safety are extremely important.. I will not be returning.
The first few times I ate here the food was great. Unfortunately when I ordered here recently the sub was pretty bland and this was extra upsetting because I was charged 17 dollars for a medium sub combo. I left one extra star because the service and fries were still pretty good and the restaurant was visibly clean.
This place has amazing subs. The owner so nice, tasty fries just be warned they tell you they got good food understand that is some big portions good food.
1st time visitor tonight, been working late nights and didnt feel like cooking. Got there a bit too late, but was let in and given great customer service and made a delicious Cajun steak sub despite it being closing time. Will return again soon!!!
I’ve had the fully loaded steak sub it’s amazing and is made with love. I tried the Tuna yesterday now I really can’t stay away. As soon as you take a bite it’s a wrap! 😊
The best subs Ive had in a while.
So delicious. Great steak sub! Cant wait to try the others!I ordered the meatball marina sub today. So delicious.
Great food the cheese steak subs are the best in Richmond
The staff is very friendly and the subs are amazing! I highly recommend the Cuban, best Ive ever had!
This was my first time eating here and I was very impressed everything was very flavorful by far one of the best subs I have had 10/10 recommend. The owners are also very friendly and welcoming. All around great experience.
I had a chicken bomb and my wife had a triple deli classic. Both with fries. Everything was absolutely delicious. The fries are uniquely crisp but not dry. The grilled veggies in the bomb are full of flavor but not greasy. We highly recommend this place. The prices are very reasonable too.
Jon Smith Subs is amazing. I had a foot-long today! The team is kind, courteous, & attentive. Most of all quality of the food is excellent.
This place is awesome! I have been coming here for years and years back when it used to be Stuffys and now that it is Jon Smiths. This great shops location has not changed and it still has the same friendly devoted owners. There is a great variety of quality sandwiches with either chips or fries being offered on the side. Now that I work nearby, I find myself enjoying lunch here about once a week.
They really do have the best grilled chicken sub. Everything is cooked & prepared fresh on a grill. Their shoestring fries are better than most! We go out of our way for this place - highly recommend!!
Ordered the Tuna bomb and the Steak bomb (using uber eats), and both subs were delicious! I love bacon, but was weary about it being on a tuna sub; however the flavor was superb. Will def be ordering from here again!
Delicious! Definitely not your ordinary sub shop. I love grilled subs and not many places make a truly grilled sub anymore. Jon Smith hits it out of the park. Extremely friendly service atop of that! Thanks!
Great food and service. Among the best subs Ive ever eaten.
Great food. Slow service.
The food here is absolutely delicious and has never been less than five star quality. They blow all the other local sub shops out of the water. I was super excited when I saw they were available on Door Dash as well, and can confirm that the subs held up beautifully to delivery and were just as good. Their fries are awesome and as good as (if not better) than McDonalds. You wont catch me going anywhere else for a sub but here!
The Food was Great. Very fresh the Owner Aaron made my food. Great guy very personal. The prices are a lil expense but the quality of the food and Service is worth every Penny.
Good food and great service. The owner is very kind and focuses on making sure his customers happy. The chicken Bomb is amazing!
No pictures because the food was so good i ate it all 😂 . Great atmosphere, the workers are nice and made sure they checked on us. The food was delicious and was made in a timely manner. I will definitely be back.
The most plain chicken sub I ever had Mr. Submarine or Sub Central are way better the ingredients were fresh the service was excellent but the sub was plain and unflavored
Excellent subs! Excellent high quality product! Friendly and professional ownership! Great price for quality food. Highly recommended!
Delicious food. Excellent customer service. The french fries could use improvement. They are overcooked all the time. Everything else is great.
First time here and I love it! Sub was delicious, price was very fair, and they didn’t skimp on the meat or toppings. I will definitely be coming back.
Amazing place. If you come to pick up your order, they’ll drop the fries in the fryer once you arrive. Elite move
Food is always excellent! Never had any issues we eat here all the time. Staff is friendly and organized.
Today was my first time here! It was AMAZING. The service was great and so was the food!
Good food always
Great steak subs, loaded with meat, on fresh, soft bread. Laying on the floor now in a food coma.Edit: The last here was well before the pandemic. It was a Sunday about an hour before closing and we had driven here to get some sandwiches. There were two people working and they had the floor all the way up to the front door flood with soapy water and were mopping. Approaching the door they had just stared blankly. After getting about ~10ft from the door we just turned around and left. Had written about this on the site prior but had never gotten a response. Unfortunate since we enjoyed the food here.
Chicken bomb sub is one of the best I had here in RVA! Customer service is always on point! Great place.
Horrible. Just Horrible. This place has nothing on Penn Station Subs located down the street. They claim to have the best fries. Well the best fries dont come out of the freezer. Their competitor has a tub of potatoes and their fries are 10X better than John Smith. Comparing Chicken Subs, John Smith fares better than the fry comparison. But JS chicken looked like it was not chicken breast. Taste wise, their competitors Chicken Sub was better. I would rate John Smith as the worst sub shop of the national or regional chains. Their people were nice and friendly. But the food comes out of freezer and there is just no competition when everyone else makes fresh or cuts it fresh in a deli environment.
I really enjoyed my Turkey Wrap that I ordered for lunch. The staff is extremely friendly! Food was made fresh and fast. Love how the wrap was grilled! Will be visiting again.
Excited to find this place, havent had a tuna bomb since I lived in Florida! It was just as good as I remember. The owners are really friendly, definitely going back :)
Friendly staff, the bread was fresh and the taste was great. Will eat there again
My coworkers and I absolutely LOVE this place, so much so that we have eaten there two days this week. I personally got the Bacon Steak Sub and the Bacon Chicken Sub. BOTH were SO flavorful and tasty. You cant beat their combo of a sub, fries, and drink!
Great subs great friendly staff try it yourself
I had the BBQ Bacon Steak. OMG!! Was amazing! The sauce, bacon, and steaks flavor melded together like a beautiful, delicious, symphony.
Omg the subs are definitely the bomb and not to mention the guy who made my sub every time I came in there. He works Thursday nights. Thanks
Never heard of them until recently and let me educate you. THEY ARE AMAZING. Their steak bomb and chicken bomb subs are to die for. Come check them out for lunch or dinner you will not regret it!
1st time here. It was really good. Fairly prices for a Sub shop. Clean. Decent service. They also deliver.
Yummy thick subs. Their Ruben on a Cuban is awesome!
Worst experience I have ever had. Ordered through grub hub only to have the wrong food delivered. Called the restaurant 46 times and every time it stated the phone line had been disconnected. After 46 times of calling a girl answered who says she was the “manager.” I asked her what was going on with the phones and she claimed she was trying to figure out what was wrong with them. Well turns out it’s more like she can’t handle working there by herself. I explained to her my order was wrong and I had already waited an hour for it to be delivered. She stated that she was the “only one working and my order was sent to the Uber driver instead of grub hub.” She told me I would have to re order through grub hub to get my food. Why would I pay grub hub again only to wait another hour? Well I ended up driving 25 minutes to pick up my food for the girl to tell me she can handle working there by herself. Well, obviously not when you’ve messed up multiple orders. She also claimed that really the phones were all busy and she had too much going on. (Well that’s not what she originally told me). I showed the owner how many times I called (46 total) I have never had such a horrible experience at this place and I hope they get rid of her. She was HORRIBLE. I find it funny that after the owner got there the phone began working again after I complained. Never will I go back to this place.
Found this place by accident. Used to be called something else. Food was good had the steak bomb with fries. As soon as I walked in I was greeted. Clean and very friendly staff. They do Uber eats and other delivery drivers.
The cheese steak and fries were excellent!Friendly and fast service. I will definitely be back.
We love the food we never had any bad food there we order about once a month ....
Great food and great service. I will definitely be back.
The subs sandwiches are the best I have ever tasted. The owners are fantastic people friendly and warm. A new hot spot in Richmond VA.
Absolutely love this place. Probably eat there about once a week. Awesome service and arguably the best subs around.
The steak bomb is fantastic! The owner and employees ate always nice and quick.
I had the steak/cheese/onion and the fries it was super good id recommend it to anyone Im hella coming back for more also the water is top notch
Great steak sandwich. The customer service was also great! Very attentive!
My mom, sister, and I visited for lunch. The food, customer service, and cleanliness of the facility was truly amazing! Definitely will be again, Thanks♡
Honestly the best steak & cheese sub ive had since I moved top Virginia.....100%recommended!
Go get a Steak bomb with Fries.PS- Best Fries in town! Crispy, not salty, and always fresh!
The service was fast and the staff friendly. I had a simple BLT sub, but everything tasted fresh and the bread was soft.
Visiting from out of state and stopped in based on 5 star reviews. It was worth it. Friendly staff and great sandwiches.
Really good subs and awesome customer service I love it.
I will never go to this place again. Ordered the steak hickory smoke. Disgusting. More bread than meat. The hickory flavor leaves a bad taste in your mouth creating a nasty after taste. If u want a good cheap sub with alot of meat go to sub central. I wasted 10. On a sub that isnt even worth 1 star.
From steak subs to veggie subs, they are all delish! Great service too.
Best sub i ever had.Tons of meat, tons of vegies and the taste was out of this world. For you people crying and whining about your bread being soggy due to grease, that aint grease, its meat juice. Perhaps you should stick to ordering off of the beta male/ soy boy menu at fresh market. I am sure they have something in tofu for you!!!
Good subs. Cajun chicken is da bomb!
Love this place! Quick, easy & unforgettable service!! Was listening to a lady eating her sub because she said it was so good she bit her lip lol. Thanks for the great subs and service!! Would recommend them anyday!
Great sub but should be twice as big for the price.
Cold subs are far better than the hot chicken one. Great prices and cant beat the groupon deal.
Delicious Italian cold cut sub!! Had lunch with family and was very please. Amazing subs and friendly staff!
It was better than average but as good as the advertisements
We received great service at Jon smith today courteous customer service and great subs
Steak bomb, thats really all there is to say. Best cheesesteak south of Philly Ive ever had.
Best subs ever the Italian cold cuts is my favorite !!! They’re super nice here too
Great customer Service, great food, awesome prices!
Awesome service and great food! Definitely worth the visit.
Nice! Subs prepared just as I like it!
Ordered from here twice, once from Grubhub and one from Doordash. I work 2 miles from here and both times the grease from the steak and cheese i ordered had soaked through the double wrapped paper and the bag. The sub bread was drenched with grease. The sandwich itself was very bland. The fries have been cold both times with no seasoning. Wont order from here again. Waste of $17
Great people, great subs they load them up heavy with meats and veggies, you cant go wrong here ! Give it a shot you will be returning i promise!
Makes the GREATEST STEAK SUBS 😋👌 on Milothian tnpk across from the GOODWILL THRIFT STORE.
I had the chicken bomb and it was delicious, I will definitely eat here again.
Excellent subs, priced accordingly. Try the Cuban, you wont regret it.
Not open during posted business hours. July 01, 2020
Great subs & employees are very friendly & courteous
The food is excellent and the owner is attentive.
Large subs, filled with meat. And they are absolutely delicious 😋 I have to fight myself not to Grubhub them several times a week.
Great food and customer service.
I got the Steak Bomb and it was delicious!
It should go back to being stuffys so i can dislike them both equally. The steak and cheese bomb was not good. Very blend with bacon. Fries are nasty and not seasoned. Wish I would have went else where. My first and last time going there.
