The Yeller Sub on Montgomery has been Serving Albuquerque Since 1979<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the town where I was born…
\nLived a man who sailed to sea…
\nAnd he told us of his life…
\nIn the land of submarines…
\n– <\/em>The Beatles: Yellow Submarine
\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The phantasmagorical 1966 Beatles song Yellow Submarine may or may not have been the inspiration for Albuquerque’s venerable Yeller Sub, but one thing’s for certain.\u00a0 Since it launched in 1979, the Yeller Sub has been the Duke City’s land of\u00a0 oversized sub and torpedo sandwiches. Long-time residents will remember that the Yeller Sub was first located on Juan Tabo not too far from Manzano High School. Today it resides in the Louisiana Plaza Shopping Center off Montgomery.\u00a0 Its current corner storefront has remained a popular dining destination for more than two decades.<\/p>\n

The restaurant’s familiar marquee includes a cartoonish Beatles style yellow submarine sliced in half with piled high sandwich ingredients forming the “body” of the submarine.\u00a0\u00a0 Original Beatles “action figures” (my Star Wars loving friend Ken gets upset if they’re called figurines or dolls), some featuring the famous yellow submarine, can be seen on the counters.\u00a0 Many of them were gifts from faithful customers and remain in their original wrapped boxes.\u00a0 Should you opt to dine in, you’ll be immersed in the musical stylings of the 70s and 80s (at least that’s been our experience).\u00a0 We didn’t hear a single Beatles song during any of our visits.<\/p>\n

In many ways, Yeller Sub is the antithesis of the ubiquitous sub sandwich chain leader.\u00a0 All sandwiches are made-to-order.\u00a0 They’re not crafted from hermetically sealed packages of\u00a0 pre-wrapped and carefully measured portion sizes of meats with mountains of shredded lettuce forming most of the sandwich’s filler.\u00a0 All sandwiches are made on Yeller Sub’s housemade fresh-baked French or whole wheat rolls.\u00a0 Available in seven- and fourteen-inch sizes, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to find that each is longer than advertised (unlike the industry leader’s fallacious contention that it offers foot-long subs).<\/p>\n

Throughout the fruited plain, sandwiches crafted from long rolls of Italian or French breads split lengthwise and stuffed with meats, cheeses, vegetables, sauces and seasonings are known by many names, most based on regional variations.\u00a0 There are submarine sandwiches, hero sandwiches, Italian sandwiches, hoagies, grinders, torpedoes, subs and more.\u00a0 Yeller Sub offers both subs and torpedoes and though they’re crafted from the same breads, they’re not synonymous.<\/p>\n

Torpedoes, which can be served cold or hot, are garnished with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, onions and Yeller Sub’s own special blend of Italian dressing which is made daily.\u00a0 It’s an outstanding Italian dressing which is available for purchasing.\u00a0 There are nine sandwiches on the torpedoes menu and seven sandwiches on the “signature subs” menu.\u00a0 Subs, designed to be served hot, are crafted without garnish though garnishes are available for an additional charge. Yeller Sub also offers a variety of extra toppings such as green chile, mushrooms, jalape\u00f1os, grilled onions, omelet-style eggs, sliced cucumbers and more.<\/p>\n

Tuna Sub<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Optional toppings for torpedoes include black olives, mushrooms, bell peppers, banana peppers, jalape\u00f1os, grilled onions, cucumbers, sliced pickles, pickle spear and green chile.\u00a0 Torpedoes are adorned with the cheese of your choice:\u00a0 American, Swiss, Provolone and Pepper Jack.\u00a0 Premium add-ons, price dependent on the size of your torpedo, are extra cheese, bacon, egg (omelet style), avocado and double meat.\u00a0 Three “breakfast all day” subs are also available.\u00a0 Obviously, Yeller Sub has been creating sandwiches for a long time which New Mexicans love.\u00a0 In 2025, Yeller Sub earned “Best Sandwich” honors from Albuquerque The Magazine readers.\u00a0 Framed certificates showcasing other honors reflect both both Yeller Sub’s longevity and the love Duke City sandwich aficionados have for this institution.<\/p>\n

The Yeller Sub menu isn’t limited to sandwiches.\u00a0 In fact, one of the best reasons to visit is for ice cream and desserts featuring Blue Bell ice cream, a gift from Texas to the rest of the world.\u00a0 All ice cream scoops are generously portioned to a full quarter-pound per scoop.\u00a0 Banana splits–three scoops of your favorite flavors–easily serve two.\u00a0 Other dessert options include a banana royale, shakes and malts and a “fudge-nutty” brownie sundae.\u00a0 My favorite Yeller Sub sweet treat, alas no longer available, was a double-scoop waffle cone with Whoppers malted milk balls.\u00a0 It was terrific!\u00a0 For my Kim, the milk shakes are a must while her lesser half loves the malts.<\/p>\n

Pastrami Sub<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

3 February 2026:\u00a0 <\/strong>Side orders include seasoned criss-cut fries, onion rings, macaroni salad, potato salad, fresh baked cookies and more.\u00a0 The onion rings<\/em><\/strong> are excellent.\u00a0 They’re\u00a0 crispy, crunchy, and\u00a0 breaded just right to a light gold hue.\u00a0 When you bite through the crunchy breading, an intact sweet, juicy onion greets you.\u00a0 Best of all, they’re available in two sizes: regular and bucket (not quite two dollars more).\u00a0 You’ll want a bucketful.\u00a0 \u00a0Four salads are also available including a tossed vegetable salad with no meats.\u00a0 Yeller Sub also offers party trays and party subs, each serving approximately five to six guests per foot.\u00a0 Box lunches can also be requested.<\/p>\n

31 August 2012<\/strong>: The meatball sub<\/em><\/strong> is special–a generous portion of housemade meatballs smothered in Marinara sauce and topped with melted Provolone cheese.\u00a0 The meatballs include just enough filler to bind them together so that what you’re tasting is very well seasoned and utterly delicious meatballs.\u00a0 The Marinara sauce is also nicely seasoned. One of the first things you’ll notice about the bread at Yeller sub is how chewy (a sign of just how fresh it is), moist and delicious it is. It’s a better bread than you’ll find at Dion’s<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Steak and Onion Sub<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

3 February 2026<\/strong>:\u00a0 Since leaving Boston in 1979, it\u2019s been my one of life\u2019s quests to find a pastrami sandwich and a tuna sub to compare with those with which I fell in love in the east coast.\u00a0 Finding an outstanding tuna sub is the greater challenge of the two since there’s no way you’ll ever find fresh, out-of-the-boat tuna anywhere near Albuquerque.\u00a0 Yeller Sub’s tuna torpedo didn’t give me much hope that I’d find a good tuna sandwich there because one of its components is eggs (along with mayonnaise, celery, pickles and spices topped with a garnish of onions, tomatoes and lettuce).\u00a0 Surprisingly, the tuna torpedo<\/em><\/strong>, it turns out, is a terrific sandwich, albeit not as engorged with fresh tuna as at my favorite Boston haunts.\u00a0 It’s not only “good for New Mexico;” it’s just plain good!\u00a0 It’s one of few sandwiches in which I don’t mind a pile of lettuce because Yeller Sub is generous in dousing veggies with their outstanding Italian dressing.<\/p>\n

16 February 2013<\/strong>: It’s been pretty well established in recent years that New Mexico’s foray into the nationwide discussion as to the best burgers in the fruited plain stops and ends with the green chile cheeseburger.\u00a0 Enterprising restaurateurs throughout the Land of Enchantment have created their own unique takes on this ubiquitous classic, most commonly replacing burger buns with tortillas or sopaipillas.\u00a0 At the Yeller Sub, you won’t find tortillas or sopaipillas, but you will find a burger on a sub sandwich bun.\u00a0 You’ll want green chile on the Burger Torpedo<\/em><\/strong> and you’ll want the full fourteen-inch size (which is closer to 15 inches than it is to 12).\u00a0 The Burger Torpedo is made from 100% ground patties made on-site to fit the sandwich rolls.\u00a0 It’s topped with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and the special Italian dressing which prevents a tangy counterpoint to the piquancy of the green chile.<\/p>\n

A Bucket of Onion Rings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

3 February 2026<\/strong>:\u00a0 Even the most ardent of Arby’s aficionados will find Yeller Sub’s Roast Beef Torpedo<\/em><\/strong> several orders of magnitude better than the chain sandwich shop’s mediocre offering.\u00a0 Yeller Sub adorns this torpedo with thin slices of top-round roast beef cooked medium well then topped with lettuce, tomatoes, onions and the signature Italian dressing.\u00a0 Order the fourteen-inch long and you’ll have half a sandwich left over for later.\u00a0 The roast beef torpedo is as good cold as it is warm.\u00a0Even better than the roast beef torpedo is the steak and grilled onions sub.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0 It’s the nearest thing Yeller Sub has to a Philly cheesesteak (provided you add cheese, of course).\u00a0 The steak is grilled on a flat top along with the onions.\u00a0 You might be able to tell from the photo above that sometimes the steak and onion spend too much time on the flat top.\u00a0 It helps with caramelization, but not so much if you don’t like so much char.<\/p>\n

3 February 2026<\/strong>:\u00a0 Too much time on the flat top also desecrated my pastrami torpedo<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 There is no excuse for desiccated pastrami.\u00a0 It’s a mortal sin!\u00a0 In anticipation that the pastrami would not be of the caliber I enjoyed so much in Massachussets, I asked for it to be\u00a0 topped with lettuce, onions, tomatoes and as much Italian dressing as could be added.\u00a0 Those additions proved the torpedoe’s saving grace.\u00a0 Ordinarily the only additives a pastrami sandwich should need are a good deli mustard and cheese (preferably Provolone).\u00a0 Yeller Sub’s pastrami torpedo needed all the help it could get.\u00a0 It’s not a sandwich that will ever grace our table again.<\/p>\n

The Yeller Sub is staffed with an enthusiastic and friendly crew who will make you feel like a welcome guest.\u00a0 From providing sandwich recommendations to refilling your drinks, they’re as attentive a staff as you’ll find at a five-star restaurant.\u00a0 The wonderful staff is just another reason Yeller Sub truly is the land of submarines in Albuquerque.<\/p>\n
