Main street Shop.Ordered 6inch Italian. There was no cheese on my sandwich. Some of the lettuce was bad (brown)Right now its 5 MIN after close and we are still eating. ( Keep in mind that we clean up our own mess when we are done eating) and was told we had to leave because they were closing. Twice! Never! Ever! Have I had this one happen. Ive worked in the food ,. industry for years and have never had anybody so rude as to kick you out after 5 minutes of their closing hour. And while we were still eating.

Very friendly staff, excellent sandwich which was prepared quickly and accurately. Good selection of take-home food items like potato salad, coleslaw, chips, drinks, cookies.Stopped in for supper to take back to the hotel. I've been to this location before and recall receiving great food and excellent service. This evening was no different. Em's is somehow able to make a gigantic sandwich with lettuce, tomato, onion, that's also stuffed with meat and cheese but it's not so huge around you can't take a bite. Great job !!

Got a sub from Goucher location - the bread was actually great. Slight crisp to the exterior, still chewy inside. I ordered the club - light oil and vinegar. My main complaint was that the protein amount was lacking. Otherwise, a decent sub. Would love to see more veggie options for toppings

Best.Subs.Ever. I am a little bias because I did work there through out high school and college but since I moved out of the area this is a must have for me when I come visit. Em's is usually my first stop when I'm in the area.You can't go wrong with the original sub! Also, the chicken salad sub is pretty amazing too!!!

This is one of several Em's sub shops in the area all in easily drivable distance. So when the sub hungries hit i dont have far to go!!!!!All breads baked every morning fresh. The smell consumes the shop and is most inviting when you walk in or skip in which is usually me. Always excited for this!!!This particular occasion was a little upset bc my instructions were not followed. I ordered roast beef n provolone sub. Toasted. It was not. Bad BAD sub artist!!!! Also my veggies other than lettuce were withheld when i did ask for em!!! Blahhhh!!! Oh well. The bonus. Plenty of flavorful deli beef tender. Cheese is fresh but Woulda been better melted n gooey. Bread always flaky n fresh with beaucoup taste. These details saved the botched sub.Plenty of sides to choose from. My favorite the loaded potato salad. Creamy with lots of bacon. Bagged snacks if you wish. Never. I repeat never walk out without a fresh baked Good!!!!! My go to are the gobs. Service friendly but disregarding on this visit. Prices decent!!!! Worth a shot if in the area!!!!

Em's has one of the better subs in Johnstown. My husband would totally disagree and say that Clark's Corner store has the best.Em's roll is what makes all the difference to me. I like mine either ham & cheese or like a dagwood, when it hits me...hard salami, shaved ham, american cheese and either swiss or provolone. I like both with onions, but hold the hot peppers. Gosh am I hungry for one RIGHT NOW!!! In addition to making subs, they have a small deli section and offer fried appetizers and other sandwiches as well. They also have a small store with dairy, bread and snack itmes.

First the good....the sandwich itself was excellent, plenty of meat and cheese and the bread was crusty and chewy, just how I like it. The facility itself is clean, neat and organized with a good selection of munchies and drinks.The bad....The customer service is average on its best day. The place is filled with young workers who talk way too much and simply don't pay attention. For example, my last visit I ordered paid and waited for my sub. I arrived at 12:55 pm, a worker from the back placed several subs on the counter and the attendant yelled out the numbers. During this process the register attendant then began talking to several of the people making subs and 1 remained on the counter. Another 4 subs were brought to the front and the numbers were called while one remained. Finally another young worker yelled my number, that sub was on the counter for over 15 minutes before anyone realized. I addressed with the staff and they just looked at me with a deer in the headlights look." No one said a word. I then exited the property.Basically, I like the sub but the workers need to be a little more seasoned and actually pay attention to the customer.

Well, thought we would try again to see if our experience would improve from a year ago when we were disappointed by the change in bread. Saturday night at 8 pm on 8/3 - horribly rude teens working there, whispering to each other and ignoring us...so we left with no subs. Guess we are done with Em's.

So amazing! I don't know if it is the combination of meats and cheeses but this is a must stop spot in Johnstown! They have torpedo subs that feed a family of five. The veggies are always fresh and the peppers are definitely crisp! They also have minor commodities such as bread, milk, cookies. You can dine in or take it to go. They also do party platters, where you can get sides as well, such as potatoes salad. I really enjoy their food.

Always a Johnstown favorite when I am visiting relatives. There used to be a lot of sub shops around. Over the years the only one left is Em's. That should tell you something!
