  This place makes great subs, tremendous amount of meat with all of the toppings.  Their #5 sub has ham, provolone, prosciutto, hard salami, and pepperoni.  For $5 bucks and change!
  
  The bread in my opinion is just right, the meat is good quality, and you can have it topped your way with vinegar, oil, shredded lettuce, tomato, and onions.  
  
  I'm a big eater and a half of one their subs is more than enough for me.  A quarter of a sub is plenty for an average person.  So a $5. sub can easily feed two people.
  
  The food is generally very good.
  
  But, many of the females that work there, especially the older one with long dark hair, have miserable attitudes.  As if they hate their job.  Sure, they say "have a nice day" but they grumpy as hell.  They act like they are doing you a big favor.
  
  Even a cash tip doesn't get you a thank you or a smile.   So I won't be bothered doing that anymore.
  
  I don't recommend going there in the late afternoon/early evening.  They are cleaning,  and their food handling and sanitation practices go down the tubes.
  
  For example, they will be spraying cleaning solution, or sweeping with gloves on, then they try making your food without hand washing or changing gloves.  I called one girl out on that and she looked at me as if to say, "oh really - my cross contaminated hands aren't good enough for you?"

  HORRIBLE service. I'm from Jersey and when I'm visiting, I usually like to get a sub from this establishment.
  
  Service has always been subpar, but the subs are good, which normally keeps me coming back.
  
  Today was the worst.
  
  Called for 2 subs and immediately the girl says, in a rushed, annoyed voice, "that's gonna take like 25 to 30 minutes."
  
  I say that's fine and then I proceed to tell her I want two BLT subs.
  
  She then gets even more annoyed and says "oh, well we don't have enough bacon for that".
  
  Come to find out, my buddy said he's been told the same thing, the last few times he called.
  
  He now goes to ELI Bagels, up the street and they are way more accommodating and polite.
  
  I'm on my way to ELIs now and will never return to DAs again.
  
  Do they not realize that customers are what keeps their business open?
  If we stop coming, they stop.

  I have been coming to DA for 15 years. Everything is exactly the same, and that's a good thing ! Best Jersey-Style Subs, hands down.

  It's a wonderful hole in the wall place in Matawan! I enjoy the food, they pack soooo much meat in your subs and it's always of the highest quality which is great. However, the place itself is a little tiny, run down, and the service is subpar in my experience, but the subs and convenient location keep me coming back! FYI CASH ONLY

  Was in the area and decided to give this a try for a quick meal in a pinch, based on decent reviews here. It's a dingy, dirty little sub shop at the end of a strip mall. I ignored the aesthetics as I've had really great food at some of the most unassuming places. I ordered a turkey sub with a bunch of toppings. You could tell the lettuce was shredded MUCH earlier in the day, based on how wilted it looked. I got my sub, which was quite heavy, and headed home to eat. I know this was a turkey and cheese sub, which is not the most flavorful combo in the world, but this was the most flavorless sandwich I've ever eaten. The meat, the toppings, and the bread all had zero flavor. Even the added banana peppers were bland. I did my best to season the sub as I ate it, but there was no saving it. They get two stars based on the amount of meat on the sub, but that is all. It will fill you up in a pinch. I'll gladly drive out of my way next time to Wondersub to fill a sandwich craving.
