50 Best Sandwich Shops near Manhattan Beach

“First time here & first time ever trying Ike’s….i gotta say guys, for what the location & food lacked, Darnell, the cashier made up for BIG TIME, what a great guy. Awesome attitude, very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu & just an overall pleasure to interact with (something AI will never be able to accomplish) the place could use better seating & the prices are…well pricey AFFF but it is a damn good sandwich for sure, but damn $4.65 for a bottle of root beer? That’s wild. Again, Darnell made it all much easier to hand over $21 for a sandwich & soda with his awesome attitude. I would most definitely promote the young man asap as from what I’ve seen, he’s very, very capable & deserving of it ?? keep it up young man, with that attitude & drive, you’ll go far in life bud ?? ….Also the young man & woman working with Darnell were also great…very polite, helpful & great attitudes. The 4 of us had a great, brief conversation about the strange quarter I found in my pocket (American Samoa) ….. anyway, the 3 of them make a great team & should definitely be cultivated to be moved up within the company ??“

“I visited this place last time I visited my niece who live in LA. I tried their pizza. It was very good perfect. I also love Arabic fettuce salad and tried their coffee. Very friendly service.“

“Where has this place been all my life?

For years, I thought people were talking about some random neighborhood joint… turns out they were talking about Lokal—and I’ve been missing out big time.

This place is a fusion comfort food wonderland. Vietnamese, Korean, Mexican… flavors from everywhere somehow working together in perfect harmony. If “food porn” had an entry in the dictionary, Lokal would be a strong contender for the cover photo.

My current obsessions:

Kpop Fries – Highly addictive. Proceed with caution.

Korean BBQ Banh Mi – Pure flavor explosion.

Chimichurri Steak – That sauce… someone needs to bottle it.

My only struggle here? Picking just one entrée per visit. Since I’ve hopped on the LA intermittent fasting train, I only get one big meal a day—meaning each visit is basically a full-on palate crisis.

If bold flavors and creative comfort food are your thing, put Lokal at the top of your list. And if you spot a guy with blonde hair, built shoulders, and the expression of someone facing the toughest decision of his week—that’s probably me.“

“Best sandwiches. Everything is delicious. Made to your liking. Custom made“

“The food was amazing!!!! I actually ate all my food! The Godfather was Delish!“

“The pastrami here was amazing....and don't get me started on how good the matzo ball soup was - wow!“

“Love coming here for the Famous “BOBBIE” sandwich it’s delicious 🤤 It’s Soooo good I ordered extra to go!!“

“Why you see is what you get. Straight forward no frills NY deli vibe in SoCal.

Service was lovely. She was very through in taking my order.

Sandwich’s were very straightforward.

Ruben with pastrami was delicious- I personally prefer the filling to the edge of the bread.

Italian Sub- very classic flavors and oh so messy.

NG Sub- overall classic sandwiches vibes, could use some seasoning- no need for cucumbers without a bit of salt.

Monster Special was probably my favorite and the most flavorful.

Potato salad- I don’t think the person who came up with this recipe loves potato salad. It could use some love.

Sodas and chips available in the lobby.“

“My absolute favorite sandwich is the Not so fried chicken sandwich. I love it so much. The little crispy pieces give it a nice crunch & the pickled onion Yum. I could eat one at least 3xs a week. I wish I could speak on other things here but I’m stuff on this meal right now. lol. Everything always looks fresh & good though.“

“Growing up in San Diego, where Board & Brew is from I must’ve had it countless times growing up. In fact, my high school was just down the street from the Del Mar location, which was the very first location, and I would have that at least once a week during senior year of high school. I still love it just as much today and the flavors are honestly the same today as they were back then which is so refreshing and what makes B&B special. We stopped in today at this Torrance location, and I can say that the flavors are just as good as all the others, and it really brings back a lot of memories every single time I eat one of these sandwiches. The staff was very polite, our sandwiches were made quickly, and pricing is fair. There is also a ton of free parking right in front and they do have a small bar inside where you can sit and drink and eat as well. They also have indoor tables as well. I would say it’s one of my favorite sandwich places and I think it’s one of the best sandwiches in Los Angeles. I would highly recommend to anyone and I will continue going back. I’ve been a customer for decades and will continue to be.“

“First time at BM. Needed a sandwhich forThe road and BM didn’t disappoint. I wish I had tried the chicken parm but my Italian was great. Everything is overpriced but k felt I got a fat sandwhich. My stepson had a large pastrami but loved it.“

“This was my first time in Rinaldi's and I was impressed. I love a small, delicious deli and this fit the bill. This would be the perfect place to grab a sammie to take along on a flight outta' LAX. Roast beef was fresh as the the soft French roll. Customer service was great and the bathroom was clean. I will definitely be back when in the area.“

“The Peruvian steak sandwich is amazing!! Loved the cookies too!“

“I spent lunch time at Mendocino Farms with my friends and we enjoyed the patio atmosphere. The service was great and the food delicious!“

“Gentleman was very nice, helpful and offered to help with the menu. It was my first time here and wanted something small. I ordered the kale and apple salad. Very delicious and fresh. Lots of fruit and cranberries. Clean restaurant and clean restrooms! Will definitely come back when i visit my brother again.“

“The store is very clean is ran very professionally whoever the manager of the supervisor is doing a great job at this restaurant the food is wonderful“

“Hands down the best sandwiches I've had. The bread was perfectly fresh, the fillings were flavorful, and every bite felt like it was made with care. Portion sizes are generous. Highly recommend if you want a sandwich that feels a cut above the rest!“

“We stopped by to order a large amount of sandwiches which we always do for long trips. The location was very clean & the cashier was extremely nice. Only the sandwiches are a bit over priced compared to 16 different locations weve been to. Instead of over pricing, should focus more on mass sales rather than higher priced products.“

“Great burger at a good price! Service was great as well. This is a little no-frills place. Can’t wait to come back and try the cheesesteak or pastrami, everything looked good. I came around 3pm on a Friday and it was quiet and calm inside. I was able to work while I ate, which I appreciate.“

“This is my go to Jersey Mike’s. It’s located conveniently right off the freeway, and the workers there always put my food together with love. The food is always fresh, nvr just thrown together…a few times I’ve come Dangelo, Jose, Oscar, and Armond have all shown the best customer service, always super cool and my favorite sandwich always comes out to perfection. Thanks guys !“

“I have been a bigger Subway fan (before I knew what Jimmy John's was), and having had it twice now I am definitely a convert. The ingredients are fresh, and the sandwich is perfect. I am vegetarian, and the Veggie with your add-ons of choice make for a great meal!

I was also blown away by the service. The workers are so kind, and they don't rush you at all.

Highly recommend!“

“Every time I visit Mendocino Farms, Raquel turns what could be a simple lunch into a truly memorable experience. She has this rare combination of kindness, attentiveness, and genuine warmth that makes you feel like you’re not just another customer—you’re valued.
Raquel consistently goes above and beyond. Whether it’s offering thoughtful recommendations or simply greeting me with a smile that feels authentic ,she truly elevates the entire experience. Her knowledge of the menu is impressive, and I always leave feeling like I made the best choice thanks to her guidance. The food here is also amazing!“

“The people are really nice ! I got my brother a gift certificate which he enjoyed . I was surprise about that but it’s all good . I go quite often with my nephew and nieces they love the mango smoothie. For me tho I enjoy the lee’s ice coffee .

Kid-friendliness: Nieces enjoy drinking their mango smoothies inside.

Parking: There’s a big parking lot shared with other shops“

“Today I ordered the Italian, it was $12. The sandwich pepper relish was pretty spicy. Overall I thought the sandwich was delicious. I’m going back tomorrow to try the meatball.“

“When I walked every employee had a smile on their face and the young lady named Melany took my order and she did an amazing job explaining the menu and bread options to me. For this being my first time at this restaurant and greeted with so LOVE and seeing smiles on everyone face then the manager even walking up to asking me how my lunch, this is a great spot.“

“Taco 🌮 we had tonight were fantastic.“

“Delicious Philly Cheese Steak.“

“Hey you guys so this location has plenty of parking it's really small like most locations but they get the job done. I always get the club supreme and it's so delicious.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheel chair access“

“The gentleman that took my order was fantastic. He had so much positive energy. His attitude was remarkable. He made me feel like I ordered the entire menu, all I ordered was the turkey chili. Thank you for being the definition of great customer service.“

“This subway is the best you will find, I worked there many years ago, I am not sure that Bob remembers me. But what I know is that they are very responsible in giving the best customer service and keeping the store clean.. 1993-1999 ??? I loved working there.“

“Today was my first time stopping by Ike's but it most definitely will not be my last! Jake greeted me with the friendliest smile and answered every question I had as a new customer. Believe me I had a lot! He even gave me his favorite order after my probing. *The Menage a trois with french bread, lettuce, red onion, pickles and banana peppers. His genuineness and energy told me I could trust him, so I ordered and joked that I knew where he worked if he led me astray. I am happy to report that Jake told no lies. The sandwich was AMAZING!!!! I also got the Hollywood's SF cheesesteak for my husband. He also loved his choice. I ended up buying two combos. I look forward to returning. I hope Jake is working that day!!! :-)“

“I love this place it's always clean and the staff is always so friendly. And they make sure that their cookies are always fresh as well as the bread. I love the fact that they make sure everything is so fresh. This place has been around for a while and even though the parking is hard to find from time to time the service definitely makes up for that.“

“The service was great, love the staff, the food was great, the only thing.....was the pricing. This restaurant would be packed if they could adjust the price just a little bittle. The portion size is perfect. There is nothing wrong except nobody can pay $14.60 for small sandwich and a coke. You can't say well, we use the best ingredients ,because Capriotti uses real turkey (like out of the oven, and people will pay for that)“

“I'm from Jersey and have visited many Jersey Mikes. This one is the real deal“

“Amazing sandwiches & lots of vegan options. They are well staffed & the checkout people are really friendly. I was so sad when the Westwood location closed but this one is run soooo much better than the old one. The whole crew isn’t high as a kite so all my orders have been correct & ready in a timely fashion even though the restaurant was very busy with takeout orders. 🤗 I’ve eaten there 3 times in 4 days so to say I love it is an understatement! Parking is a breeze & they seem Covid conscious too which is a plus. I did notice some outdoor seating - it’s right by Jamba Juice.“

“The Service: Two staffs are on duty. Very efficient. My order was ready by the time I arrived.

The Sandwich: There is BOGO deal if ordering on their app now. I like the reward program & promotions.

It's always tasty when they make it fresh.

The Parking: Plaza parking lot“

“Manager Melissa was extremely helpful. I had to call to change my catering order that I messed up on. She was polite and took her time to explain to me that what I can do is place an order online and she will add it to my doordash order. Melissa went above and beyond and made sure I got my order correct, and had the necessary condiments.“

“You gotta understand that here their bread is 5 stars mate; they don’t use salt in their meats, so note that, you’ll definitely taste the difference. The service is quick, their menu is small but good. And one can assume that every time they come here it’s gunna be a good eat.“

“Tucked away in the heart of a condo community, The Cafe at the Shores is a true hidden gem! It's a little adventure finding it, but the reward is well worth the effort. Owner Mimi has created a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and the views of the breach, tennis courts, and sky are simply stunning. The food is delicious, made with love and fresh ingredients, and they offer a great selection of wines. We even enjoyed a fun paint-and-sip lunch there! It's the perfect spot for any occasion, from a casual bite to a special celebration. If you're looking for a unique dining experience with fantastic food and a view to die for, be sure to find The Cafe at the Shores. Tell Mimi we sent you! You won't be disappointed.“

“It's been awhile since I ate with Subway the reason is that I was once told that you cannot no longer have your sandwich made the way you want and that's not true at this Subway everything I wanted as I wanted was right there when I wanted it love the service the neighborhood is a little.. it's great service and food I went there for..

Parking: I was able to park directly in front.

Wheelchair accessibility: A wheelchair ramp for when you roll from your handicap parking and a ramp when you Roll right on in.“

“This Subway is really fast and serving and the people are really cool. Does anybody noticed that the sandwiches are super large recently did they change I have to ask next time I go there and they're huge so long I don't remember them being this big.“

“The sandwich was perfect and the two ladies behind were so nice. I would have given them 5 stars on the atmosphere but there was also a cranky old man behind the counter. He was bossy and rude to his coworkers and didn't listen to his customers ?. If the food hadn't been so good and the ladies so nice I would not go here again. I sure hope he wasn't the boss because he was a jerk.“

“Update: I messed up using the app and I didn’t select “Make it Toasted”. The great employees fixed my mistake and made me a new toasted JJBLT! Thank you.

The restaurant was also very clean during my visit.

Updating to 5 stars!

The Baseline: For a sandwich place, the sandwiches must have fresh, quality ingredients, it must efficiently make my sandwich, additional sides must be available, and there should be unique offerings.

Food: Jimmy John’s is a sandwich chain that has several standards offerings. The bread for sandwiches is of good quality, the meats are good, and the Jimmy Peppers are the unique add on. They have potato salad, pesto pasta, chips, and cookies for extras. Sodas are available for drinks at a self serve drink fountain.

Service: Service is good and I got my birthday side when I came in. No problems with the staff.

Ambience: This is a sandwich shop in a shopping plaza. The shop was clean and the bathrooms were clean enough.“

“Friendly Staff, but.... they only have an 80% chance of getting the order correct. Lack of focus and a lot going at once here for some. But it's all good. I get to try things I would never order, so I'm expanding my sandwich knowledge“

“Waleed! You run a tight ship! Amazing customer service and subs are yummmmms!“
