one of the best sub places in Hamilton. I have tried lots of different sub places and this is by far the best subs I have ever had. The staff is super friendly and it is reasonably priced. Everytime I come here I am not disappointed. I live 30 minutes away but it is totally worth it. 10/10 highly recommended this place!

Staff is incredibly pleasant. The sandwich artist behind the counter took her time to create an almost perfect and absolutely delicious sandwich (extra star). Footlong Club Sub - $12.42 - The sub sauce may be the best in the city, great flavour! - The bread is delicious, very fresh with the perfect texture to hold everything together without getting soggy. - Perfect amount of veggies and sauces - The only negative was I would’ve really liked to see a little more meat than this. One slice of turkey and two slices of deli ham is pretty laughable at $13. Two more slices of each meat and I could easily give 5 stars. Will I be back? Depends, maybe if I see an updated photo on instagram of a sub with more meat than mine

Buddy’s subs in hamilton has been around for decades. The location and the decor has not changed much. Parking is decent and the outside is nothing fancy. Inside is a no frills place as well. it is kept clean. I ordered an assorted and it was made to order. The amount of toppings can be increased/decreased as needed. My sub was made very well and I enjoyed it. The reason it’s been in business for so long is because they make subs so great. I’d recommend you try one. As long as they keep it updated and clean there is no reason to renovate. They would benefit from some better decor and layout. Outside can also be improved considerably. Nothing stops you from getting a good sub though so give them a try.

I love this place. Been coming here for over four years and the quality and overall experience has been consistently great. Their gyro pita is absolutely delicious - the meat is tender and juicy. Seasoned well. The portion size is good - plenty of meat and there’s an excellent selection of toppings. Their tzatziki sauce is fantastic and their feta cheese is scrumptious as well. I think their prices are extremely reasonable. There is undeniable value for the money you spend here. I’m happy to see they have finally increased their prices after several years as they undoubtedly deserve it. The staff are also always quick and effecient and pleasant to deal with in my experience. 5/5

With shrinkflation going around in restaurant/ food chains, this place should be your go-to for subs, wraps, gyros, burgers, fries, etc. Guaranteed good value for your money. Friendly, hardworking staff.

Always a good experience at Buddy's! Usually I get a sub but I recently tried the Gyro dinner and it was delicious! The fries, I've only had them once so far but they were some of the best I've had! Great friendly staff, always so glad to see you..
