Oldie’s Subs And More

First time at this location! Original location is in Gold Canyon. A friend and I went to check them out about 6:30 on a Saturday night. Actually waited about 5 minutes for service since there was another customer being served. I got a single scoop and my friend got a double! We compared them take a look at the picture! This has to be one of the best deals for under $10 for two ice creams!The only thing I can say is that the atmosphere and ambience is amazing! It reminds me of the old days.I don't normally like hard ice cream, but it was nice to sit and relax in a booth and just hang out. Definitely coming back to this location!

I went to this place because the place next door was closed. The interior is really cool! When I walked in it was confusing, because ice cream and sandwiches are ordered at 2 different spots insides. I can see a lot of people were confused, created a lot of traffic jam at the entrance. I ordered a chili and cheese hotdog meal with the pasta salad. The cheese was just sliced cheese :/ the chili was good though! I also ordered a 6" Meatball sub on wheat, which was very good. The service was a bit slow on the sandwich side, but the ice cream line was fast. The pasta salad was not worth the extra $1 for it. I'd like to come back and try their ice cream next time!

This is a super cute 50's theme diner in AJ that I hope is around to stay. I was greeted immediately and ordered food. I was a little confused because there were 2 ordering stations and I was apparently in the wrong one (it's separate for food and ice cream). The employees were nice and the food was good. It's a sub shop but they sliced the meat as you order; a nice touch. There was seating inside and out for plenty.

Since the opening of the Gold Canyon location, I have loved Oldie's! I went with my Yelp Bestie Chelsey H. who is also my cousin as our Nanny loved 50s style diners. Every time we visit we think of her fondly and enjoy the atmosphere of a blast from the past theme. Looks aren't everything, so you may be thinking how is the service and the food?Both locations have exceptionally friendly staff who are happy to offer a sample, answer questions, and serve up one helluva a cone of ice cream. They serve Blue Bell brand ice cream which is one of my personal favorites. This location serves subs and food items, whereas the Gold Canyon does not. Love that they've expanded to Apache Junction, not just for proximity to my house, but for the spacious location! This can easily accommodate multiple parties comfortable for a sock hop feel with the jute box playing those classic tunes.Don't be square, check out Oldie's!

Had to stop by for the grand opening with my Yelp bestie Diele K! We were so excited to have an Oldies location open closer to home. This location is large, open and so inviting!! From the floors up, everything is on point to bring you back to the oldies. They have a table outside for seating and lots of seating inside. The parking lot is shared with other surrounding businesses but is spacious with lots of parking spots. The staff were so friendly and helpful. I have a feeling I will be eating a lot more ice cream due to the new location haha! They serve Blue Bell ice cream as well as subs and salads. I got myself and Diele each 1 scoop of ice cream and a cone which ran my bill up to $8. What a great deal! Love the vibes here. It's perfect for a date night or ice cream stop with the kids.

This is a brand-new place in Apache Junction but locals will recognize that they used to be in Gold Canyon (that place is still there but now serves ice cream only). This new location is tucked way back in a tired old mall that's frankly not very inviting. That is until you get inside Oldie's. Surprise! The decor is legit 1950's with a tasteful touch of authentic background music. I stopped in one hot July afternoon (alongside a fairly decent size crowd of Oldie's devotees and was greeted by Tyler, perhaps the most knowledgeable fast-food employee I've ever met. And genuinely friendly as well. He led me through their entire menu, making everything sound mouthwatering- especially the banana split, served in a real glass dish, which he appears to be the king of the universe at making. (PS - he just might be).I've been around for a while and have a pretty good idea what a good milkshake or other ice cream treat should cost and Oldie's is ridiculous, I mean ridiculous low compared to other custom ice cream shoppes. And according to Tyler, you make the decisions, not a list of 31 or whatever predetermined flavors. So go ahead and get that chocolate/blueberry/pistachio shake if your heart desires, choose from any of their flavors (which you can sample). No worries.But my real quest this venture was to find another local choice for getting my sub sammie fix. For the size of our town we actually have several good independent (non-chain) sub shops. I like some better than others but I don't love any of them, but I'm spoiled - I've had subs at some of the greatest little hole-in-the-walls in America. And as an aside, can anybody tell me why every sub shop in AJ is hidden in the corner of some mall where it is almost impossible to find?During my informal "interview" Tyler he convinced me that they were different. For starters they let you build your own right before your eyes, not hidden behind some 8' high counter or in some back room. He even explained the importance of the way they slice the fresh-baked bun and how they layer the meat in it. And toppings? Forget extra charges on an already stratospherically prices sub like some places, Just like with the ice cream it's YOUR sub so they'll put on it what YOU want. If hungry I've been known to demolish an entire 12" sub from other sub shops for dinner, not so here, 6"down my throat was all I could handle, the other half went in the fridge for lunch the next day.The last thing that makes Odie's a standout is not only are the ice cream treats budget friendly, the subs are ... okay I'll say it ... cheap! Like you go HUH when they ring up your bill.I mention my first contact because he's the one I met when I dropped in and he's the one who convinced me to become a customer. But while I was there I looked around and everyone behind the counter was upbeat and super-friendly. AJ is known for goldmines, including that famous lost one that everyone's looking for. Well I just found a locally owned sandwich and ice cream shop that's a real treasure and once the snowbirds come back this place is going to be a goldmine.

Not only can you get the best ice cream, now they serve delicious subs too! Staff is friendly and helpful in making selections.

The food was very good, they had some old tunes playing. Place was very clean. Very helpful service and the ice cream servings are huge!!

A quaint little ice cream and sub shoppe on the corner of a strip mall that's easily missed. But you should definitely stop in for a cool treat and/or sub. Decorated in '50s style furnishings including jukebox, it's a cute and clean little place. Hubby and I had ice cream the first visit. Generous scoops and a variety of cones to select from. That's when we noticed they also served sub sandwiches, salad sides etc. So on our second visit we ordered sub combos. Great subs! Hubby had the broccoli soup which was delicious and better than I expected. I had the potato salad which was good as well and what I expected. I've certainly been to other chain sub shops and I think the quality here is better and at a much better price. The one of the owners was there working and obviously very proud of their place and the food they served. Overall, we will continue to support this small business!

Super cute place! We had ice cream which was delicious and the serving size was amazing for the price. My parents loved the old time feel and music.
