Driftwood Deli & Sub Shop

They were very friendly and the subs and sandwich were very good. Prices were ok also.

I’ve been a customer of the Driftwood since the mid 1970s. Even with a couple or few different owner the Driftwood has maintained its quality reputation for really good subs and sandwiches. I worked at the Foodtown across the street for many years after school and summers and I’d almost always cross over Fischer to get a sub at Driftwood. I can’t remember the name of the owners (husban/​wife) back then but they were really nice people. Even after they sold the place was just as good. I don’t get there too often anymore but when I’m in TR and want a good sub, Driftwood is the only choice. For those that remember Chuck’s Cracker Barrel about 2 miles south on Fischer, you’ll recall that Chuck made fantastic subs, too, but he left the scene a very long time ago. Driftwood has been doing it great since at least 1977 I’d say. Forget Subway, Jersey Mike’s and the rest. Driftwood is a small business that deserves your business because they make great stuff.

We come here almost every other day for subs or breakfast. Subs made fresh and fast. Always delicious. It is on route for us when we are heading to the beach. Breakfast is simple egg sandwiches and are reasonably priced and good.

I was looking for a place to get a good sandwich for my trip to nearby Cattus island and this place came up on Unilocal.The reviews were great so I tried it. It’s very plain inside with a gigantic board over the deli counter listing all the amazing sandwiches. The 2 women working in there didn’t even know what Unilocal was. I told them they had great reviews and found out they’ve been in business for 41 years. They were both so sweet and made me 2 enormous subs. I will definitely go back when I’m in the area again.

Driftwood Deli = Best subs ever! BEST Driftwood has the best subs hands down any where at the Jersey Shore! I have been going here for years and always recommend them to friends and family that come down to visit. Everyone is so friendly here too!

The subs we ordered were delicious and they were not stingy with the meat. I would go back again.

A friend of mine frequently raves about this place. So, since I only live five minutes away, and am constantly bemoaning the lack of truly good sub shops in the area, I figured I’d give it a whirl.
I ordered a roast beef with Provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion, and mayo. The meat was pretty rare, tasted fresh, and is not a highly seasoned product — all positives, in my opinion. The amount on the sandwich, though, was a bit stingy. The cheese was on the sharper side and heavily laid on, totally overwhelming the roast beef. Also, the onion was red, and the mayonaisse was so lightly applied that an airbrush might have been employed in the task. Those are not a few of my favorite things.
I didn’t happen to notice what brand any of the cold cuts were, but they were clearly of higher quality. Thumann’s, maybe? The bread was excellent, and the prices appeared to be competetive — even inexpensive — but when considering the amount of meat on the sandwich, appearance was the extent of it.
Still, it was a decent sandwich, and I was satisfied with the product at the price. I would certainly go back, but they close very early, so it could only be for lunch.

Perfect breakfast wraps and generous delicious subs! The ladies are very personable and friendly too
