The Beatles are responsible for some of the world’s most famous songs, and few are more memorable and addicting than the iconic “Yellow Submarine.” This classic, surreal song spawned an animated music video and even a spin-off movie – and surprisingly, it also inspired a cheesesteak shop in New Jersey! Yellow Submarine, the only Beatles-themed restaurant in New Jersey, has gained a cult following in the small town of Maple Shade for its massive sandwiches and its delicious desserts. It may be a drive from most places in New Jersey, but it’s a must-visit destination for those who love the Fab Four and want to see every restaurant the legendary band inspired.
For those who pass by the south Jersey sandwich shop, the Yellow Submarine might look like just another roadside restaurant.

This is primarily a cheesesteak shop, which isn’t a surprise given its proximity to Philadelphia - and these sandwiches are massive, just like a submarine-inspired sandwich should be.

If you want to enjoy the decor without taking on one of those massive cheesesteaks, the cheeseburgers are also considered an excellent choice.

During the off-season, the ice cream shop attached offers a seasonal hard ice cream - and when the weather gets warmer, a full menu of frozen treats is offered.

You can take your meal into the old-fashioned seating area outside the sub shop. No, the famous song isn’t playing on a loudspeaker, but you’ll probably hear it in your head anyway!
