19 Best Sandwich Shops in Columbia

“You better be hungry! This was my first time here and it was nice. They literally steamed the bagel sandwiches. Many different options to choose from. There is plenty of parking behind the building. They also have a nice patio area. Make sure that you take the entrance on the left.“

“We went to Luzianna Purchase's 2nd evening, 5 course dinner and it was fabulous! Each course had a wine pared with it that made it very elegant. Thomas and Mary Katherine explained each course and where the ingredients came from. The atmosphere was warm and personal; we entered as strangers and left with new friends.“

“Cutest darn place you will ever see inside. Food is fresh, wholesome and incredibly tasty. Sandwiches are super flavorful and the bread is absolutely delicious. Pasta salad was the show stopper bursting with yummy goodness Jackie, Jade, Stephen and owner Rob Reed are all local and very friendly. A SUPER place for a great meal!“

“Coming from NY, the bar is set pretty high for us in terms of burger joints. This is truly the closest thing to home we have discovered here in SC! The atmosphere is 100% on point! The staff are all very sweet and go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied, except they mixed up our plates/sides. The food, I would give a 6.5 - 7.0 out of 10, but the prices are on par with the food and given the atmosphere and homey feeling of this charming roadside spot, makes dining here an even greater value! A clean, homey, friendly place with decent food! If more attention to the condiments on the tables had been evident (most ketchups had barely any ketchup in them and the malt vinegar they brought had barely an ounce of vinegar left!), then I would have probably have rated this higher.“

“It's the bread! I ordered their veggie sandwich and it was delicious with the ripe avocado and herbs on the veggies. I'd prefer a little more variety in the veggies but it was a great sandwich. The bread made it for me. The potato salad was ok but again,.... The bread! The staff was friendly and very responsive. It's a cute spot to pop in and out of. There's very little seating but you can sit outside so that's a plus.“

“Fresh and FlavorfulSubstation II is a gem for anyone seeking fresh, delicious subs and salads. Their Super Special Salad, with its generous portion of shredded lettuce and fresh toppings, is a standout for its refreshing taste. The Chef Salad, too, is a delight, featuring crisp greens, hard boiled eggs and fresh veggies. Beyond salads, their subs are equally impressive, made with freshly sliced meats and soft bread. If you're looking for a quick, satisfying healthy meal that doesn't compromise on quality, Substation II is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!“

“The first time I ever went to a Jersey Mike's was years ago I loved the amount of oil and vinegar!It feels like it's just gotten worse every time I go. I happened to go by today. A kid in braces served me and I appreciated his attention to detail! He didn't overload the lettuce and made sure I had a very good amount of oil and vineger!He took his time and appeared to be new but I appreciate when people pay attention to details and do it right. We have a problem with people being impatient and wanting stuff so quickly that even if it isn't done correct they eat it anyways, or complain because it wasn't correct AND fast.So thank you kid in braces. ? I'm a fan!“

“Great place for a quick sandwich for lunch! All the sides are homemade from what I’ve been told and they taste delicious. It’s a small place so only about 10 or so tables, but definitely gives you that downtown, deli-style restaurant feel.Parking: There is only 2-4 spots that are not paid, all the others around are paid parking spots. If you want to go here I suggest parking on Main Street and walking to the location.“

“Purchased a veggie delight wrap via online ordering. It was fresh, delicious, and exactly as described. Only hiccup was figuring out where to go, but I was expecting a bit of confusion there per other reviews. Heads up if you do online ordering, you need to go the “sundry” which is a little convenience store right next to the deli. Highly recommend for a fresh and delicious downtown lunch.“

“I live in Charlotte, but whenever I am near Columbia I stop at Roly Poly for a wrap!My favorite regular menu item is the Huevos Rancheors (‘egg roly’). My all time favorite menu item is the #9 Thanksgiving roly (this year I made a special trip to get this sandwich while it was available in November). The food is always fresh, and seasoned with a unique combination of spices, sauces and dips. And somehow, despite being so large and so delicious, the rolys are only a few hundred calories each.The shop is run by a kind gentleman named Dave, who always takes time to welcome and talk with customers. I highly recommend Roly Poly and am already thinking about my next trip there!“

“Okay. Just finished one of the most delicious and juicy sandwiches I've ever eaten. The spices and oils they used really make the food sing. I think it was the super sandwich. A buddy of mine likes the scrap salads so I decided to give it a try. Glad I did. Great food and really filling too. Definitely be back.“

“Clean and the staff is very friendly. Sandwiches assembled with care. My wife and I preferred to eat in instead of grabbing and eating in our car. If you are looking for a nice place to get a quick sub, stop by at this location. Every traveler can appreciate the same taste of a Subway sandwich as the one where you might be from.“

“16 Mar ‘24 stopped in for a sub and the place was packed. Line of people all the way to entrance. We stood in line and it moved really fast. The kids working that day were awesome and worked well together. The sub was perfectly made and so good. Highly impressed.“

“Firehouse Subs makes some great sandwiches. They have hot subs that just melt in your mouth. Highly recommended if you have never been. You even get a pickle on the side. Firehouse also sells empty 5 gallon pickle buckets for $3. The tables inside have Dalmatian print, and there is a mural on the wall of firefighters. The murals at Firehouse Subs depict something of significance related to the owner, a dog, house, person, etc.. You can also order ahead using the app. However, this particular location was slow to start my order. I ordered ahead and they hadn't started my order when I arrived. The employees were standing around talking to each other. I did not see any sandwiches being made. I told them I was there to pick up and then they started to make my order. It really defeated the purpose of ordering ahead. Overall, the food is great here. One of my favorite restaurants for subs. I'd recommend Firehouse Subs.“

“I went to this subway on my lunch break just to grab a sandwich, and a kind young lady named Rachel was so vibrant and positive. Made my day better on the spot the areas were also very clean and organized. Would recommend this subway if you’re in the area. Thank you Rachel for making my day!“

“I worked at a sub station II 20 years ago. I had not eaten at one since (for no particular reason) and today I decided to get( to go) sub hAlf of a ultimate sub, just like I used to, and it was sooooo good ,!!! Just like I remember!! The staff was very nice , the store was clean and neat, and I wanted to turn around and get another one! Thanks guys for reminding me to come back more often!“
