  First time there. Ordered the chicken cheese steak with the "works". The bread was fabulous. Loved the red pepper sauce on it. Just enough. However, there wasn't enough chicken on it. now I know why they have double meat sandwiches. I thought the atmosphere was ok, sporty with all the TV's, but I thought the Keno everywhere was cheesy.  Hubby ordered a salad with no cheese. Salad came out with cheese. I was done with my food by the time he got his new salad. Time was around 1:30 p.m.  might go back again because the sub was hood, but maybe just for carry out.

  My husband, 2-year-old son and I stopped by the Submarine House for dinner tonight and we were all impressed...the little dude included (might be due to the fact that they have chicken fingers and fries...no brainer)!  We've been eyeballin' this place for over a year now because we shop at the Kroger and today we decided to stop in for a bite.  Really glad we did!  The restaurant had a friendly vibe to it, super clear big-screen tv's on the wall (perfect for some football in the fall) and a good mix of high-top tables, booths, low tables and the bar looked to have decent seating but we didn't get too close.
  
  I had a 4" chicken cheese steak w/"the works" and I thought it was amazing...definitely prefer it over the sub I had a Milano's earlier in the year (but I LOVE me some Milano's pizza so no hating here).  The bread was fresh, the chicken perfectly seasoned and "the works" included just enough mayo to moisten the sandwich but not too much where it's just slimy and eew.  I ordered fries with my sandwich and they were perfectly cooked but could have used a bit more salt -- no problem though, I'd rather use more at the table than have them show up over-salted.   I had them put the hot pepper relish on the side because I'm a wuss and I'm glad I did.  The flavor was excellent but it did pack a bit of heat so I'm glad I could control how much went on my sandwich. Loved the stuff...just made my eyes water.  I'd order it again!!
  
  My husband had a Philly steak salad, no dressing, and, well, it was a salad so I paid little attention to it.  He said the meat was good though so there's my input on that.  
  
  Our service was excellent.  We were immediately greeted at the door and the hostess made sure we were seated outside as far away from the smoking as possible -- without us even having to ask.  Treska was our server and she did a wonderful job.  She showed up immediately after we sat down and got settled, got our little guy's order in right away and our drinks came out super fast.  She checked in at appropriate times and was very friendly.  
  
  Lastly, you can't beat their prices!  Three meals (two adults, one child) and three beers = $21.00!  Bonus points to their drink special -- $1.50 short draft BL, CL, Yuengling and something else.  What?!  A buck fifty for a beer.  Sign me up!
  
  We look forward to getting back to the Submarine House on another warm spring/summer evening.

  My softball team and would come here after each game because it was near the fields anf easy for everyone to get to and have some pitchers of beer.  The service was hit or miss.  Sometimes we waited awhile to be greeted, etc.   The food isn't that great.
  
  But at the end of our season a group of us went there after our last game and we played music as usual on the touch-tunes.  The bartender had friends at the bar that were also playing music.  When there songs wouldn't play; the bartender would skip all the other songs that had been paid for.  I found this incredibly rude.  We had spent a large amount for money there over the course of our fall season even with mediocre service at times.  But for the bartender to do this to repeat customers that had paid money for music was immature and terrible service.  When we told the waitress; she approached him about it and he just looked and laughed with his friends.  Needless to say; we have never been back.

  Today the stars aligned for the Submarine House and myself.
  
  Usually I am underwhelmed with either the service, the food, or both.  But my wife likes their fried mushrooms, so we occasionally go just for her.
  
  Today, we were promptly greeted and seated.  Good. Our waitress arrived shortly after for our drink order. Another plus.  So service today is better, and friendlier than normal.
  
  My wife got her usual of a grilled chicken salad and fried mushrooms. She loves those mushrooms, so she was happy.
  
  Today, I went against my better judgement and got a cheese steak.  Normally they are not so good, but it was the special and I felt like going cheap.  I am so glad I did.  For once, the fries that came with it were actually hot and crispy, not luke warm and mushy.  The roll for the cheese steak was actually crunchy outside and soft and warm inside.  The meat was a little over seasoned with the salt, but not enough to kill my taste buds like normal.
  
  Someone came by and cleared our dishes after we were done and the waitress brought the bill in a reasonable time.
  
  Overall, still lots of room for improvement, but if they keep it up like they did today, I'll be back more often.

  Sub was OK but went there around 3:30 and the service was horrible as if we were invisible to the staff. It took almost 10 min to get a drink and there were only 3 other tables with customers at that time. I had to go to the cook to get the missing spicy relish for my hot Italian sub because the server disappeared and it was getting cold. I may try it again at a different time but my first impressions were less than enjoyable. (I miss the Xenia Submarine House as they were simple but good subs)

  16 inches of heaven? Not at this location! Worst cheesesteak I've ever had.  The cook needs to put his salt and pepper in a cupboard, lock it and lose the key.  Even my husband, who is far more tolerant than I am, doesn't care for this location.  Since Milano's is just down the road, I won't have to go much farther for a cheese-steak!
  
  This location of The Submarine house does not compare to the others in the Dayton area.  It's too bad that there is a consistency issue.  I think that the sandwiches are overpriced for the measly amount of meat/ingredients you get on your sandwiches

  I have not been to Submarine House for years.  We were in the area shopping and decided to do lunch at the new location.  I had a 4 inch turkey on honey wheat with fries; very good and just enough for my lunch.  Lots of outside seating which would be nice in warmer weather for enjoying a beer.

  Stick to the subs and you'll be happy with your meal.
  Nothing else is good. Except for the beer.
  It's a fun place for a more casual drinking night.

  This is for the new Bar & Grill Submarine House by Kroger in Beavercreek.  My 1st comment, move back to the old location!
  
  Now for the meat!  After going to the other location, I was deeply disappointment with the quality of sandwiches at this place.  The bread tasted old and stale, the meat lacking and the toppings missing, but I know they were ordered.  I even brought my best friend to my first time here and they said "you think these are great subs..."  Needless to say, I am hoping this place steps it up. Wish I had better comments to post... oh wait, the TV's were nice.
