Troops Subs - Sandwich shop in Clifton - 1212 Van Houten Ave, USA

This was my first time in there since it was known as Frills. Boy has it changed atmospherically. The quality of the food has not changed; it's still quite good, and the price comparative to other establishments is still remarkably favorable, but this place is just not the same. First of all, don't believe that outside sign. The sign depicted Troops as selling burgers, Texas Weiners, and a few other things. Disregard it! The menu apparently has diminished down to primarily just subs. They're still good, but the overall atmosphere inside has changed. It's pretty much a race to get your order in, prepare it, and get on to the next customer. The head counter man seemed to be a bit nervous and anxious, but he did take pains to make sure he was getting the customers' orders correct, which he did. It just felt like I was being rushed. I like the place, but without the burgers and dogs options, I just don't feel comfortable.

The food and the people were both great. The place itself and the overall vibe/environment took away from the experience in my opinion. I ordered the tuna, as it came highly recommended, and it did not disappoint. It was fresh, delicious, and also cheap. Sandwiches these days will typically run you $12-15 but this was $6 and change I believe. I’d trust Troops to absolutely nail it on any simple sandwich.

If you want a quality blue collar sub with fresh ingredients and reasonable prices, this is your place. If you're looking for a bright, nicely decorated place to dine in and have a meal, this probably won't work for you. Don't miss out, though. Take it to go.

Maybe the best lunch spot in New Jersey. A half sub and a drink for under $10. High quality and they never skimp on the meats. This place is the real deal

Troops is phenomenal. You won't find a cheaper deal for a good sandwich. The place itself doesn't come with frills. It might look questionable from both the outside and once you're inside, but give it a shot! The owner was friendly and asked us many questions, as we were traveling. We were amazed by the size of the sandwiches. A half order is seriously plenty. It's a typical Jersey style sub for sure, with super thinly sliced meat. Troops is an experience in and of itself, and you'll get a great sandwich for a great deal! Oh, and free lollipops!

Great place. Good sandwiches, good prices. They are the best in North Jersey.

Classic American sandwich shop with a great selection and amazing bread, don’t forget to ask for your sand which to be put under the broiler to melt the cheese and add hot peppers. The owner is very friendly and always has classic rock music playing in the background.

Ok not gonna lie I wish the place was cleaner and didnt look like a basement. But man do i gotta say the subs are excellent. i love coming here the subs never fail to amaze me.
