Pub N' Sub

This is an older establishment with a definite college hangout vibe. The outdoor patio is a nice spot to sit and dine, especially in good weather. Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite measure up. The pizza tasted more like a reheated freezer pizza with a premade crust, and the sub sandwich lacked flavor—I had to add ranch just to make it more enjoyable. On the plus side, the service was friendly and welcoming, which made the experience more pleasant overall.

Pub n sub has been a Reno/UNR tradition for 50+ years. Every UNR student knows it as a place to get pizza, sandwiches and other bar food. They have a great patio out front and a nice area in the back for those crowded nights. The Bacon Cheeseburger was outstanding, the sandwich my wife ordered was good and the salad our friend had looked tasty. Not living in the area has limited my visits to several years apart but they still do a great job. The atmosphere is college bar/restaurant and they should never change it.

I can’t believe that in all the years I’ve lived in Reno I had never been here until today! I absolutely love finding great, local, family owned businesses and this one checks all the boxes for me! I suppose the only possible downside for me is that I’m a whiskey drinker and they don’t have a full bar, but there were plenty of other options! My mastermind group went here today. I got a salad, one got a sandwich, one a pizza, and we all share a basket of onion rings…and everything was delicious! Will definitely be back!

I used to come here TWICE A WEEK for the cheesesteak and those legendary seasoned fries. Used to. Then someone decided it was a good idea to replace perfection with these new battered, greasy, oil-soaked impostors they’re calling fries. These things aren’t fries! They’re soggy regret sticks. I didn’t order tempura sadness. I ordered CRISPY seasoned fries, not something that feels like it was dunked in a deep fryer, taken out, put back in, and then emotionally neglected. The cheesesteak is still amazing, which honestly makes this even more painful. It’s like watching a favorite band still play great songs but ruin the encore on purpose. Fix the fries. Bring back the old ones. Do the right thing. Also employee Emma Brown stole my Zyns while I was there and vanished like a ghost into the
