40 Best Sandwich Shops in Columbus

“I love that I finally have a good Deli in my Neighborhood. The Sandwiches are delicious. You get exactly what you're paying for. Nice portions, fresh ingredients and a great staff. They accommodated me asking for the fixings on the side, as my Elderly Aunt wanted to heat up her sandwich later. The store is in walking distance, and it was clean. I met one of the Owners while there the last time. It's definitely going to be my go to place to order when I'm craving a Sandwich. I also want to try their Crepes. I'm telling all of my Friends and Neighbors about Frenchi's Deli. Sorry that I didn't add a picture. My Sandwich didn't last long enough for one.“

“A big fat meaty juicy sammich that comes with a hefty price. 2 people can easily share it so that makes it a bit easier to swallow. We ordered from a window and then sat in the nearby outdoor tables to enjoy the morning sun and it was a really nice vibe.“

“I had a great weekday lunch here for about $15, including a hearty cup of soup and a full-sized custom sandwich. I was there around noon and the line had started to get long, but it moved fast. In spite of the lunch rush, the guy working the register was warm and friendly. I ate there and had my food in about 10 minutes. I'll definitely be back for lunch the next time I'm downtown.“

“Everything about my experience was enjoyable. I work downtown and stopped in for a quick lunch and quick was an understatement. I had the chipotle chicken sandwich. I was hesitant to get this only because I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes but the tomato jam was a perfect combination of sweet and spicy. So good and I will definitely be back to try another sandwich.“

“My husband suggested W. G. Grinders for dinner and it did not disappoint. We ordered an Italian grinder, a Reuben grinder, and a pepperoni Stromboli. It was plenty of food, reasonable prices, and great taste. They asked if we wanted the banana peppers on the Italian grinder, it’s good they ask because some may not like them. I always get banana peppers though ?️ yummy!!They should add dessert to the online menu, we would have ordered some.“

“While out running errands in Clintonville, we stopped for lunch at Wario's Beef and Pork (aka Wario's). The dining room was packed.. always a good sign. There were 8-10 menu items to choose from. We chose a beefsteak to share. There are two streak sandwiches, we chose the Steak-Wario's way. Basically a steak sandwich chopped up with cheese and onions all in a sesame seed hoagie bun. What makes it different is it has a combination of cheeses on it. My husband liked it more than Marlows in Gahanna. I thought it fell behind Marlows and South Village Grill. They are generous with the meat. The hoagie has seasame seeds on it. I did not enjoy that texture or flavor paired with the cheese steak. The steak was a bit greasy and definitely left a greasy after taste. As far as portion sizing one hoagie can absolutely be split between two people. The one thing I did note and that was disappointing was the dining room didn't feel clean. I looked to the side of my table and it was pretty dirty (see picture). My husband will be back... me, probably not. Kind of a one and done type of place for me. I was not blown away. Id say this is more like a 3.8 star place/review but since we can only use whole numbers I had to round up. But it is definitely not a solid 4.“

“Prompt service and great selection of sandwiches and baked goods. I called ahead, and my order was ready in no time. Loved Molly's sandwich, and the cuban sandwich was the best! Seating available inside and outside as well. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend!“

“I stayed at the Marriot only a 5 minute walk from here, of all the places we tried downtown this is the one we thought we’d miss the most when we left. The lunch menu is amazing, I wish I got to try the breakfast. For how busy it is in there and what seems like only two people behind the counter, the service was phenomenal. The cashier recognized us as soon as we came in and thanked us for coming back. Food is great and fresh, you can see them folding sourdough behind the counter! Beautiful atmosphere, lovely staff, delicious food. If you have about 15-20 minutes to stop in I absolutely recommend it. Do not skip the home fries with rosemary aioli!“

“These people are so amazing . The food is great but the people who own it are even better. A neighbor who is an adult with autism was having a rough time after his father passed away and they gave him free dinner until he got in his feet. I can't thank them enough for helping him out. They are truly great people and anytime I'm back in Columbus I will spending money there for sure.“

“The sandwich are taste but they run out of many of the selection. As well as bread type. And they did not include the chips. To me alittle on the pricey side for what u get. Need to supply their cupboards so they do not run out of selection within hour of opening.“

“Had a great lunch with my hubby - enjoyed EVERYTHING we ordered. Decided to make them my “Graduation Party Catering Menu Provider”. Lots of variety in flavors at a very reasonable cost! Staff was very accommodating and helpful with suggestions. Give them a try! I’m writing this about 5 hours after my visit, and NOW wishing I had brought home another serving of the Kickin’ Kay Lynne chicken salad I had at lunch!“

“Tried this place when we had a show in the area. Fantastic subs that are a cut above all the other chains I've tried, and I've been to all the major ones. The dave's sauce works well with the far out, the chips are great, and they play amazing classic rock. One drawback is that there are only six tables inside, and the place is quite popular, so it may be a struggle to find a table for dine in. It also takes a little while to get your food, but it's worth it!“

“My wife and I dropped by to try this place out because, as you all know, I love a good sub sandwich. They did not disappoint. I had the Chicken Marinated Bomb and became an instant fan. Like they say in commercials, it was "grilled to perfection", topped with fresh vegetables, tasty, firm bread, savory flavor and wonderful aftertaste that you hate to drink behind for fear of losing it.The fries were a heaping helping, cooked just right as well. I love them crispy and salted so well that ketchup isn't needed. And it wasn't, but I added it anyway because I love my ketchup.The owner was very kind and the staff seemed energetic and generally happy to serve. That always helps. Survey says... (DING!) Try it! It's worth the trip.I've got my eye on that cheeseburger, so that's next.“

“Didn't know that the sale several years ago didn't go through...was excited to learn that it was still open. Went there for the first time since. Great food and quality, just as I remembered.Now for the issues with our service. Although our waitress was nice...we put our drink and food order in at the same time because we had already decided what we wanted. In the roughly 15 minutes (maybe longer), our waitress went to the bathroom, got herself something to drink, was doing who knows what else in between....I had to approach her, tell her she still hadn't gotten us our drinks and she made up some excuse about silverware to cover for the fact that she hadn't gotten our drinks. She was nice and fairly on top of things after that....Parking: Very small lot, aisles (or traveling lanes) in parking lot are narrow and corners are tight to maneuver, but that's common in several places in the area.“

“Always excellent service and great food. If you want a sub don't go anywhere else but to FIREHOUSE subs! The hook and ladder is my favorite!!Kid-friendliness: Great place to take the kids!Parking: Located in a strip mall so plenty of parking!Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to get in and out.“

“Decent place for what it is. Time Management was horrible hence the 4 stars I waiting for about 15 mins for my food at the drive thru window. The cashier was very nice and sweet that's the only reason they got 4 stars because of her. The food was OK but again it's a fast casual food place so that is too be expected.“

“Where do I start with this place???? I have several food allergies and I can eat here. That’s my first positive thing. The second is that the food is actually flavorful. I had a wrap today. It’s so rare that I actually get to pick up something and eat it, but I can here! I get a great meal, I feel welcome, and it’s amazing hospitality. I also know that I can come here when y’all are slammed busy and get quick, accurate food, which is a huge blessing. It’s hard to trust some quicker service restaurants and I trust you guys! Thank you for coming to Aiken.“

“I am a man of honesty, integrity, and reliability. With that being said, PJ’s blew my mind and exceeded my expectations. Most would call me the Gordon Ramsay of food reviews due to my brutal honesty. People who say bad luck isn’t real have never met me before. From getting my cornea torn, getting laced with laxatives, getting bit by a raccoon, and experiencing much more, my food reviewing journey has been devastating.PJ’s hit the nail on the head with the richness I seek when reviewing food. The atmosphere at PJ's is simply perfect. Leaving this place with explosive diarrhea, but satisfied taste buds met my expectations. Anyone who claims this place is overrated is probably on a strict nut diet and can’t appreciate food that holds true meaning.“

“Clean, fast, good food. Dont get me wrong its horrible for you, but the Roman burger is almost addictive. All the toppings are always fresh and crisp. The best part is my experience is always consistent regardless of the location. This is my guilty pleasure and lobe that burgers so dang much. If you haven't had one before do yourself a favor and check it out.“

“I have food allergies and sensitivities, so I am always extra cautious when I go to a new place. The folks here took my issues quite seriously, checking ingredients on their special sauces and making sure I knew which items to avoid or which items could be modified to accommodate my food needs. They made sure to use a separate knife when cutting, spreading sauces, etc, to avoid cross contamination. The gentleman we were primarily working with to order said he cooked in the army and had to go through rigorous food safety training there, including managing food allergies for their troops.Grinders also has a gluten-free breading option (my issues are with dairy and pepper [the seasoning], but the GF bread is also DF so I was able to eat it without issues). Seriously, I can't express how grateful I was for the level of service we received. I don't live in Columbus, but I've found a new sandwich place when I'm there with my boyfriend, and we are both happy to have tried this spot!Dietary restrictions: They took my food allergies and sensitivities very seriously, going as far as checking ingredients for my problem foods to make sure I was safe.“

“Very clean and neat Big plus that the sandwich makers aren't rookiesand don't try to act like toppings are being paid for by them persoally(you know what I mean).Wheelchair accessibility: I use a quantum rehab power wheelchair and had no problem getting in or out.“

“I was able to get a good sub 12" cold cut And 2 other 12" for My fellow coworkers There are only 2 people in line before me Subway is Subway is located inside BP gas Some what in the hood but what in the hood but on the inside you wouldn't be able to tell because it's so clean Don't mind coming here and we'll be back“

“DiBella's is one of my favorite sub places. I love their everything bread. I have tried a couple of different subs and each one has been tasty. They offer catering with little sandwich, chip, and cookie packs. I also dined in one time. You can pick your sub or salad and add ingredients you want on it. There is also pasta and potato salads avaialble for sides. They have chips and yummy cookies as well. The space is large and they have plenty of seating. I went for lunch so many of the patrons were grabbing lunch and taking it to go.“

“The sub shop is very clean and feels pretty open. I ordered the meatless porta bello mushroom cheese sub, my bro had a chicken cheese sub, and mom had an Italian sub. I do not remember the actual sub names. The subs did not come with lettuce, tomatoes, vinegar, or seasoning unless you specifically request it as they didn't ask. I advise being ready to ask for it "Mike's way" if you want that. Kind of wish they had more veggies to add, but a hot sub was good. This was only my second time and there was a line so didn't get to look as long as I wanted. They did bring the 2 hot subs to our table once ready so that was nice. There are fountain drinks and the bathroom is clean.“

“Great little hoke in the wall Subway. Given the state of some of the surrounding businesses, I didn't expect much the first time I came here, but the staff was friendly, and the service was fast. The store was very clean inside, and I didn't wait long on my food, unlike nearly every other nearby Subway I've visited in recent years. Highly recommended.Parking: Parking is tough due to how the shopping center is laid out. There aren't a ton of spaces and little room to maneuver, especially with cars flying down Livingston right there. Be ready to take your time exiting the lot.“

“SO GOOD!!! I haven't been here in so long. I don't remember it being THIS GOOD! I got it To Go and my Philly Cheesesteak (extra grilled onions, add Banana Pepper!) was served open faced in a box. This made me so happy (because I hate when subs are rolled up in paper & it all falls apart when you try to eat it!) The cheese & bacon fries were so yummy & super fresh (not sitting in old grease). The food is FRESH & DELICIOUS! This cheesesteak is SO GOOd!! I'm coming tomorrow to try the Chicken Philly!“

“I love this location it is always clean, the staff is always super friendly and the food is always fresh!! Thank you to our cashier Angela for helping us today, your attitude was positive and your customer service skills were outstanding. We will definitely be returning.“

“Man the best darn experience every time I go there ladies are all so polite fast pace I don't have to wait in line forever like most locations I highly recommend this place so clean best darn tootin joint in the the town yeeee hawwww go subway gals“

“I was in the area for a concert and it was my first time having DiBella’s. I was attracted to the restaurant because an “Everything” bread was advertised. I opted to get this bread and create my own sub. Ultimately, it wasn’t a bad meal. It wasn’t the best sub I’ve ever had as the cup advertised, but it was good.“

“Im a regular at this location so much that when I walk in the door, "Its Hi Bryan". Its like your part of their family. All the people there are awesome to deal with. I've been to a couple other stores in town, and no one compares to the North store on Hamilton Rd in the Meijers parking lot.“

“Great food! This is real Somali food. Everything is made fresh everyday. Never had Somali food that tasted that good. Other restaurants may advertise as Somali and are not comparable to Gandershe. Gandershe #1 Restaurant is in fact #1. If you know, you know!“

“The food was delicious ?? it was like Subway bread and Jimmy John's meat. ? The service was good, and luckily they didn't give me tomatoes (I'm sorry if u like tomatoes ?). THE FRIES ARE TO DIE FOR! it was the best part...The atmosphere looked a little run down, but we didn't die ?! I recommend doing takeout or delivery, but overall it was good. ?Vegetarian options: Small vegetarian section , the main reason you go there is because the meat. But you will like the frys Parking: Great parking, when we came it wasn't busy at all ?Kid-friendliness: It's kid friendly!!! ?“

“"If I don't feel up to cooking on a hot summer day, McAlister's DeliI is worth the pay", I love their deli sandwiches!:) Plus they are people-friendly and I didn't have to wait long for my food.Parking: No need, it's near Meijers on Hilliard Rome Rd and well worth the traffic!:)Wheelchair accessibility: Just "roll"right on inside!:)“

“I pretty much eat JJ every other day around the Columbus area. This store out shines all the other ones in my opinion. When they are busy they are calm and still very polite and attentive to the customer. The restaurant is very clean also for all you peeps that don’t want to rely on the freaky fast delivery! Great job guys!“

“I ate a delicious mid-afternoon meal yesterday [2-13-2023] at Charleys Philly Steaks at 1980 N. High St. in the "University District" neighborhood of Columbus.My food choice for yesterday had been a "Steak Philly Cheesesteak" and a "Regular Original Fries."I remember a restaurant named "Charley's Steakery" -- perhaps at that same exact location -- many years ago -- while I had worked at the former Long's Book Store at 1836 N. High St.The building where Charleys Philly Steaks is located had been built as a movie theater in 1947 and features a bas relief depiction of OSU football legend Chic Harley permanently installed on the outside wall. That movie theater has been converted since then to two side-by-side businesses.If you are looking for a delicious "Philly Chesesteak" or other similar items, I recommend Charleys Philly Steaks.“

“We stopped in here for a quick dinner before catching a performance at the Ohio Theater. We ordered veggie subs which were a yummy goodness. The staff was so welcoming, friendly and quick with our order. Would definitely recommend to others!!“

“This location in Blacklick is the best! Made my 13 year old feel special on his birthday with a happy birthday note on his sandwich! Jimmy John's was his birthday dinner request and this location delivered quality and went above and beyond. And it was freaky fast!Thank you!“

“Charlie's chicken cheesesteak was so delicious I could not stop eating! This is another one of my must haves on rotation! I had the footlong because I was starving. Tastebuds lovin' each bite, come on and get some of this cheesesteak. Thank me later!“

“JOE was my hero today! He was by far the sweetest person i have ever met in my life. I forgot my wallet and he said ok. Very chill. Non judgemental and kind. He said well it’s on me today! All you can do is tell ppl how much you love potbelly sandwich shop! My heart sank. JOE you are an amazing person! I dont know how i could ever repay you for that beyond kind gesture!“

“I come here very often, only thing I have to complain about is when I come for my granddad it seems like his bread is so hard I have to take everything off of it to microwave the bread just to soften it for him to eat. Other than that everything is amazing except for the bread being as hard as a rock it crumbles like toast.Parking: They have like three tiny parking spots beside the building so you're basically parking in somebody else's establishment, or you hope that there's one spot in front available,“
