Famous Subs & Pizza

Love this place! Family owned, food is excellent and the wait staff attentive! I try to stop here every time I come to Southport for work.

This place is busy!!! Definitely not a bad thing, lets you know they have good food. While waiting on our to go meals I was shocked how many to go orders kept coming out! Plus not one empty table by the time I got my meal.
Sweet tea was perfect! The lasagna was pretty good (doesn’t have ricotta cheese) which was disappointing. However, the sauce they use was yummy!
My friend got a chicken gyro with lemon sauce. I’m definitely trying it next time because it looked amazing!

We had take out Monday night… Had the Super Club, which was Awesome. The staff not so much. They need guidance. Trash on the floor & not paying attention. (& only 4 tables maybe) Next night Tuesday we decided to go in & eat. Alot of chatter going on between staff. While waiting for food… the waitress slapped down a stack of pizza boxes & procedded to assemble them, NOT quietly. I turned to waitress and said we are moving to the front of restaurant. She never questioned it. While trying to enjoy our subs (we ordered same thing Super Clubs because they are Awesome) the staff were still doing pizza boxes & chatting loudly across the restaurant. I learned that one waitress got $ 20 & a customers #. Another one could do a somersault right after having a C section. I’ve owned & was a restaurant manager & this is just crazy & makes for a Non enjoyable dinning experience.
We come here every year for my husbands work & Famous is on our list of favorites… but sorry to say not now. My advice to everyone is call your order in & pick it up… pass on the crazy circus inside!
The food is good!

We were craving some east coast grinders before departing back to the Mid West and this place hit the spot. The hot Italian had the perfect meat/​cheese/​bread/​dressing ratio and the 12 inch was enough for two of us to share.
This will definitely be a must stop on our way to and from Bald Head Island.

I just got the super club oven baked sub. … yeah, this is huge and delicious. No issues with the sub.. id eat here again fo sho

Worst service I have ever had. Went there on a Friday night before football game. Waited 15 minutes and not even one person acknowledged we were there. We got up and left. Nobody even said a word when we left. We will never return to this place. Understaffed on a Friday night is poor business.

2^nd visit food is yummy. Staff friendly and efficient. Seating area could be cleaned more often.

The food here is delicious and well priced. I gave it a lower rating, however, due to the interior and employees. It is pretty run down and dirty, and you can tell it hasn’t been updated in a long time. It is definitely a favorite and popular among locals. The several times we have been there, it has been clear the employees hate their jobs and have been there too long. They look miserable and are short/​inattentive. This may not be all of the employees. On the worst occasion, the older lady at the register was yelling other employees, and then when we walked up, she was very rude, short, and snippy.

It’s truly hard to find anything on this menu that isn’t delicious. A local favorite. And my favorite lunch spot in Southport. I could almost eat here everyday. Awesome Hot Turkey Sub!

It may look like a dive, but the pizza and lasagne are excellent. A great place for a quick meal at the beach.

Just moved to southport from CT. This was the 4^th place we tried and by far the best. Would go again.

I rarely get to Southport. But when i do, i always set aside some time to go to Famous. The subs are delicious. So are the pizza and calzones. Just a regular place with pictures of Greek islands on the walls. Outstanding food.

Good food! Beware of time constraints around lunch time; these people take call-​in orders without realizing their dine-​in Customers will suffer. Wait times in the Dining Room can exceed 50-​minutes on Thursdays and Fridays.

Clean and fast! Have salads, subs, chicken, and pizza with a few other options. The subs are wonderful!

Love the subs, pasta, and chicken here at Famous, but the service isn’t the best in the world. The food totally makes up for it though. The Something Else sub is great, it is on of my favorite dishes in the area. The will deliver to the Irish Pub

The pizza is absolutely delicious. The crust is very fresh & soft, the sauce homemade, and the toppings tasty. It is in an unassuming building and has a plain dining room. The boss (of Greek heritage that is reflected in the theming) brought our food and was friendly and obviously took pride in it. Our pregnant waitress was very good and got everything quickly. She made accommodations in the form of a custom sandwich, something not normally allowed. This is a great place all around.

The name is Famous Subs and Pizza… but in my opinion the best thing here is their chicken! It is fantastic! I am also a fan of the subs… but for me the chicken rules supreme! From the outside it kind of looks like a run down food shack… and kind of from the inside as well. It would not be my top choice of somewhere to go in and dine, but for a nice takeout, it is great! So if you are looking for something quick to pick up, call it in and drive up to the window… if you are looking for a nice dine-​in experience, I would probably go elsewhere!

I’ve loved this place since I was a toddler. Easily the best pizza I’ve ever had in my life– I hold all other pizza to the standard set by Famous. It’s a family business, it’s a family restaurant, and I make sure to eat there multiple times every time I make it into town.
Thanks, Famous! I love ya!

I like Pizza, So one of the days my family had gone to North Myrtle for some odd reason and left me on my own.[which I don’t mind] It was time for some Pizza. I’m always glad find a place where the locals eat. This place hit the spot. I really liked the crust and sauce plus meat and veggie combo was balanced just
waitress was all ways on time with my beverage. Their subs where dang good looking. I would liked to have seen the floor a little cleaner. But it was I little late in the evening so I was thinking they might have been busy before I got
was good Pizza and I will be
soon as we go Back to Oak Island.

I’m upgrading to four stars. This may become my go-​to lunch spot when I’m in Southport.
Pastrami sandwich & fries hit the spot. Along with tasting pretty good, it wasn’t too heavy, too spicy or too anything. Just right. Fries are indeed good, as mentioned by others. Great service.
