By far Big Blue's is my all time favorite sandwich spot on the East coast! Yes I said it ... the East coast. I grew up eating here and in all the years I can never find anything that compares and I've tried a lot of spots. Every time I go I get a hot turkey and pastrami sandwich and it hits every time. The bread is perfection, they provide a lot of meat but not too much and the pickle tops everything off. They used to be on Wood Ave right next to the train station but now they're up the street in a bigger location. It's nice to be able to have a lot of space to sit inside but I must say the parking can be a little tricky since there's limited spots and Elizabeth ave is a busy street. I wish Big Blue's all the success and I can't wait till I'm back visiting and I can come grab a sandwich. Check it out if you're in the area.

I was in Linden for a funeral and got to the train station an hour early. I'd never been to Linden, so I walked down to Wood Avenue in search of lunch and happened upon Big Blue Subs. I'm glad I did. The first thing that hit me was how sparkling clean the place was. The second thing was that they had Italian hot dogs, a delicacy unobtainable in Brooklyn and one I hadn't had in over 40 years. For the uninitiated, an Italian hot dog is a deep-fried beef hot dog (two if you're ordering a double as I did) smothered in grilled peppers and onions and topped with 1/2" thick deep-fried potato discs all nestled in a pillowy-soft pizza roll. I ordered a double and was told to take a seat at one of the sparkling clean tables and it would be brought out to me. My first impression was that this is one huge meal. I started in on the potato discs. The were nicely crispy outside and soft and nearly creamy inside. they were, despite being deep-fried, decidedly not greasy. Once I got through them, I started to eat the double dogs smothered in onions and peppers in that soft, fluffy roll. Despite being famished when I walked through the door, I couldn't get more than halfway through my perfect double Italian hot dog before I had to throw in the towel. I've had more than a few Italian hot dogs in my mis-spent youth, and they were usually soggy, greasy, delicious messes. My Big Blue Subs Double Italian Hot Dog was absolute perfection, It was not greasy, it was not soggy and even the potatoes were perfectly fried, but not greasy. If I'm ever back in Linden, I will definitely return!

When in Jersey you eat like you from Jersey and not a tourist. Better yet, you don't ask for a sub and settle for less. I love the location ( good & easy parking). I'm greeted by the smell of pastrami and grilled onions. I tried a small loaded steak & cheese. I watched the man add the lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, and toasted the bread... I'm like ok you have the right ingredients but what about the taste. As I took my first bite, a smile of contentment crossed my face! Yea buddy, you know what you doing! I know I asked fir a small but my stomach said half is all you need to be full and I listened. No need to over indulge when I can enjoy part 2 later on. I have bookmarked this sub shop for my next visit. There are more eye catching subs waiting to be conquered!!

Absolutely LOVEEE the subs here. Sometimes you get a sandwich from other places and there's a missing element, whether it be the deli meat, stale bread, ridiculous charges for extra toppings, and the list goes on. At Big Blue's none of these will be an issue. The meat is quality: not the cheap, low grade deli meat that's packed with salt! The bread is fresh which makes a huge difference on the sub experience. And lastly, the prices cannot be beat. If ever in the area and craving a sub, this is the place to go. I promise you won't regret it!

I ordered my food to go and it was ready when I got there. The place was clean and put together. The service was fine so no issues there. I ordered and Italian hot dog and it was really good. It had a little too much potatoes, so I couldn't eat it all. All in all everything was good.
