“Locally Loved, Freshly Made”
A Gloucester Original Since 1984
Welcome aboard the Yellow Sub!
We’re more than just a sandwich shop—we’re a local staple rooted in Gloucester’s coastal spirit and small-town soul. Since opening our doors in 1972, we’ve been serving up legendary subs, bold flavors, and a nostalgic vibe that keeps people coming back for more.
​
Our mission is simple: make great food, treat people right, and keep it real.
Whether you’re a local grabbing your regular or a visitor getting your first taste of Cape Ann, we serve every sub with heart, hustle, and a smile.
​Our Story
Yellow Sub Shop began as a dream to create a neighborhood joint where people could eat well, laugh loudly, and leave full and happy. Inspired by retro diners, the Beatles, and Gloucester’s rugged coast, we blended old-school charm with modern flavors. The result? A sub shop with serious personality.
Over the years, we've become a go-to spot for locals, fishermen, surfers, and families alike—and we wouldn’t have it any other way.​​
