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.
