Troops Subs - Clifton

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.

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.

Best sandwich i’ve ever eaten, i travel 2 states over to eat it.

They make good sandwiches, but it seems the owner constantly puts up signs saying they’re closed for this that or the other thing and when they are open the lights are so dim it’s hard to tell if they are open. Although their sandwiches are absolutely delicious when you do realize they are open.

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.
