White House Subs, Atlantic City, NJ:
A Restaurant review

The White House on Arctic Ave is the original!
An Atlantic City landmark since 1946. This is a must-visit for anyone who comes to Atlantic City looking for that special sub or hoagie, or whatever part of the country you call your favorite sandwich.

The cheesesteaks are one of the best in New Jersey. All subs are made with bread that contains no fat, no sugar, and all-natural ingredients. The bread is oven fresh with up to 12 deliveries each day from a local bakery as the demand changes.

Uses U.S.D.A. Choice Top of the Round Beef in their steak subs.

The hoagies/subs are prepared in large volumes with lunch meat or minute steak, cheeses, onions, and tomatoes, wrapped in a butcher paper pack, as hordes of people stand in line.

The place is like going back to the forties. Mostly take out, but there is seating for about 50, always crowded, but worth the wait.

Since 1946, they have been visited by many celebrities who came to Atlantic City, especially during the early years of their existence. There's no decor here except photos of the mostly past famous including Frank Sinatra and Joe DiMaggio, who have come here to experience.

Be prepared for a line that can extend outside and for service that can be abrupt.

Parking is available at the Fairmount Avenue Surface Parking Lot at 2313 Fairmount Avenue on the corner of Fairmount and Mississippi Avenues.
