Local Love Letter: Munch-A-Sub, Las Vegas Some places are worth the drive. And this one? Worth every wild freeway merge and red-light detour from Green Valley Ranch to Cameron Street.
After weeks of seeing viral clips and craving the flavor, my husband and I finally made the trek — nearly 30 minutes across town to uncover what so many locals already know: Munch-A-Sub is a hidden legend in the heart of Vegas.
Founded in 1996 and fiercely run by an all-woman crew, this Italian-style New York deli is more than a sandwich shop. It’s a story steeped in flavor, care, and that old-school hospitality you just don’t find anymore. From the moment we stepped inside, the vibe was cozy, the line was lively, and the scent? Irresistible.
We arrived around 12:50PM on a Thursday — just past peak lunch hour, or so we thought. The line was 10 guests deep but moved with rhythm and ease. In minutes, we were placing our order, eager to taste what the TikToks had promised.
I chose the #11 — a 12-inch masterpiece of turkey, ham, ripe tomato, crisp lettuce, onion, and that perfect drizzle of mustard, mayo, oil, and vinegar. The bread tasted like it was baked that morning — soft, fresh, and sturdy enough to cradle every overflowing bite. Honestly, I only managed half. The portion was epic.
Paired with a bowl of Italian wedding soup — the daily special — the meal became a memory. That soup tasted homemade, delicate and full of love. It reminded me of my mom’s, and I found myself wishing for a hunk of crusty buttered bread to seal the moment.
For our kiddo, we brought home a 6-inch turkey, and my husband grabbed the #60 sub club with a bowl of gumbo. He didn’t speak much while eating — a silent tribute to how good it was. Later, he said the gumbo was fresh and bold, and the sandwich was so generous he couldn’t finish the second half either (and he’s not a petite eater!).
Our total? Just $58 — for two towering 12-inch subs, two soul-warming soups, and one kid-sized sandwich. For the quality, size, and handmade care, it’s one of the best values you’ll find in Vegas.
And don’t skip dessert — their homemade cookies are everything. Soft, sweet, and just the right kind of melt-in-your-mouth magic.
If you’re anywhere near the area, stop in and give them a try. I guarantee you won’t regret it — promise. This isn’t just lunch…...

Read moreCozy place, but accommodating. I hade the #38, and yes even ordering off the menu has been made simple, so koodos for that. The #38 is a Ruben corn beef and swiss with sour kraut and thousand island dressing. Nicely prepared at just the right temperature. The corn beef was melt in your mouth, as it should be. Fast and friendly service. The dining area and kitchen was clean and organized. Prices are fair. Parking is a bit cramped as they share it with several other business tucked into a small strip mall type setting. Just off Hacienda on Cameron st. Not really visible untill you turn on to Cameron, but not to hard to find. Besides, if your using Google, you should be able to activate Google maps and it will take you right to it.
