Billy's Sub Shop — Restaurant in Boston

After being unable to give a phone order for takeout at a snooty vegan place nearby that, snootily, doesn’t accept them, we were welcomed at Billy’s, even though they were surely busy when we called.

When we arrived, we asked if they might have a bathroom we could use even though there was absolutely no apparent public restroom. Thing is, my friend is mostly blind and likes to drink coffee, meaning I always need to look for a place for her to go. Several employees went out of their way to accommodate us in their very tiny prep and kitchen spaces as we moved through to use their private restroom in the back. 😇

It was so very kind and thoughtful and if I could give them 10 stars I would! 😍Simple consideration, like answering the phone to take an order and letting someone use the restroom even if it inconveniences their operations for a moment, demonstrates LOVE is still alive in the world and it can be found at Billys! 🥰

OMG, and then there was the food!!! The omelettes were amazing, the home fries were delicious and when we wished we had gotten ketchup with our takeout, there it was in the bag, along with the extra napkins for my friend. And don’t get me started on the blueberry pancakes… Amazing!!!😋

The value was unbeatable and even as we were walking out the door, the love continued as I was carefully handed two coffees in a carrier and our paper bag of food as they could see I was leading my friend. Thoughtful from beginning to end. We will DEFINITELY be going back!🤩

Thank you so much,...

Very local spot serving delicious subs at a great price.

I’m going a sandwich quest to find the best sub in Boston, so naturally I had to go to Billy’s after a friend recommended it to me. Got the steak tip sub, which was very reasonably priced at only $14.

Few mins later, sub was here. Very minimalist: you add the sauce and you’re responsible for choosing the veggies: I went with tomato and pepperonci for a little kick. They served it on a sub roll and add the protein.

The steak tips were extremely flavourful: aggressively seasoned and very tender, felt like it was a filet to be honest. Probably the best steak tips I’ve had in Boston, crazy that I would find them at a local sub shop. The bread was pretty standard, but I didn’t mind it because the steak tips were really fantastic. Also appreciate them being pretty generous with the quantity.

Overall solid spot for a quick sub. Would highly recommend their steak tip sub, though I’m sure the other ones...

Men everywhere and everybody has a smile on his face. They all say the food is great. I’ve been here 2 times. As a woman I also think the food is good. The quantity of food Billy served is overwhelming. How can I finish it. I need a big doggie bag. I looked around and all I saw were empty plates and satisfying looks. The steak bomb is huge and is loaded with beef with a bit of grilled veggies and it’s really delicious. You just need a little sprinkle of salt. The fries are big portions. They give you a lot. The breakfast plate is enjoyable too. Roast potatoes with lots of paprika work really well for me. Toasts are pre buttered. Take a drink from the fridge or order a coffee. The coffee is not too bad although not to be compared with Starbucks. The food is really priced reasonably. Check the most recent menu with price from their website. You can’t find any food that is so affordable at Backbay or anywhere else. 5...
