Reviews
The food is amazing; both the subs and the sides are always freshly cooked. The service is great as well. Definitely recommend coming here.
Great sandwich shop. Don't let the prices scare you away. They easily last 2+ meals if you get a full sandwich. I've gotten the Patrick Star and the Crave Ruben in the past, and I highly recommend both sandwiches. It might not be my top chicken sandwich (Patrick star), but it is up there. The Ruben is one of the few Rubens that I've been able to find, in addition to it being full of meat and other veggies. The bread for the sandwiches is very solid. I always like a little texture since then it adds something to the overall meal. Service has always been fast and friendly. I've only ever gotten takeaway. I do plan on coming back and trying out more of the menu.
Crave subs offers really good subs and it makes it even better that they are halal as well. I have had a few of their sandwiches and honestly you can't go wrong with any. This was my go-to spot when in Berkeley & it continues to be when I am in the area. Order online for efficiency or you can sit down an eat inside as there are plenty of tables. I love the comic book feel of the place & its really just a solid spot to get that sub fix. Plus I highly recommend their curly fries, super addicting & honestly my favorite place for curly fries.
Came here because it was highly recommended online but was somewhat disappointed. The crunch bread was delicious and similar to Ike's. But the vegetarian version of our sub was bland and the fake chicken seemed like a slab of plain tofu rather than a meat substitute as expected. Staff was a little rude when asked for a side of jalapeños after ordering because there was no clear indication on their ordering screen when we placed our orders ourselves. Pretty small inside but bathrooms were clean and available.
My son enjoyed his sandwich, however he mentioned it costing him almost $40 for a large, with fries and a drink, the sandwich was large enough to split in half and eat it the next day, but the cost was way over the top for a college kid
