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.“

“Alex and Jordan make the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The bread is baked fresh each morning, and they know how to pair ingredients together to just make them delicious. The sides are spectacular as well. Highly recommend!“

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

“Was out in this area for work. Did a Google maps search for sandwiches. Man what a little hidden gem. These guys have a huge list of sandwiches and other things on their menu. They nailed my club and they do not hesitate to give big portions. I'll be coming back to this local spot next time I work out there.“

“I was delighted and surprised at the size of the sandwich, considering it's relatively low price, and right in downtown Santa Monica! The service was good, and tuna was filing and delicious. Chill music in the background, and a quaint seating area was perfect my rainy day journey.“

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

“FABULOUS SERVICE ! We rate great service above everything else and if we don't get it.....we don't come back ! My wife and I were heading to Santa Monica ( 152 miles from Solana Beach ) for a weekend getaway on Friday and needed a planned lunch stop on the way. Last year when I renewed my Australian passport at the Australian Consulate-General in L.A my wife jumped online and found a Lokal Sandwich Shop on National Blvd close by for our lunch break. The sandwiches, drinks and service were excellent at that location and we expected the same here. Considering we were heading towards L.A on a busy Friday we made great time. We parked in the private carpark and walked in about 12.30pm. It was bright and cheery inside just like the other location we visited. A sweet young lady named Emily greeted us straight off. First up we both had to hit the restrooms ( nice & clean ) after our non-stop drive from Solana Beach. NO PROB ! And then we sat at a table ready to select our lunch order. At the service counter we ordered 1 x ICED LATTE, 1 x THAI ICED TEA, 1 X BBQ PORK BANH MI ( cucumber, jalapeño, mayo, housed pickled daikon & carrots, cilantro on a baguette ) and 1 X THE CUBANO ( Ham, shredded pork, pickled cucumber, swiss cheese, mayo, dijon mustard on toasted rustic sourdough ). BONUS BONUS BONUS...when I checked in on YELP I got an offer for 20% off our first visit. I TOOK IT ! So far so good...very friendly service from Emily the cashier and WE LIKED THE VIBE....an intangible thing that you feel. Our iced drinks were ready in next to no time and tasted very refreshing. I haven't savored a BBQ Pork Banh Mi since last year ( at a Lokal Sandwich Shop ) and this one did not disappoint...hitting all the right fresh and healthy notes. My wife went nuts over The Cubano...quite a large fully loaded sandwich. It wasn't real busy at that time of day so we took our time enjoying our delicious lunch. I noticed that they had craft beer on tap...I didn't see that at the location we visited last year. I asked Vanessa behind the counter....why is this location called Lokal Sandwich + Burger Bar instead off Lokal sandwich Shop ? And Vanessa replied...because this location sells beer. OK ! We really enjoyed everything we ordered here and had a relaxing break from driving. HIGHLY RECOMMEND !“

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

“Bella at Original Rinaldi's is awesome if you need a sub for the beach or to grab a good cheaper option before a flight I would highly recommend stopping by. There is free parking in the alley behind the building which makes it super convenient too.“

“Mendocino Farms in Rolling Hills is the best!
This was my first time at this location and it is definitely my favorite now! I was immediately greeted by Cynthia who was very helpful with the menu. The girl Sophia who brought my food over offered to grab things for me like napkins and a container to go so I didn't have to move an inch! Besides the wonderful staff, the environment is welcoming and food is delicious. I will be back!“

“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.“

“I’ve been coming here for years, and it never disappoints. The service is always friendly, the food is top-notch, and the pastrami sandwich is hands down the best in the South Bay. If you haven’t tried this spot yet, you’re seriously missing out!“

“Soooo delicious!!!! Such a hidden gem discovered :’) I am so happy we found this place. Thank you for the amazing foods! My Philly Cheesesteak was soooooo good! The fries were soooooo warm and delicious too. The beef teriyaki was super flavorful too! Definitely recommend all to stop by and enjoy their delicious foods!“

“Stopped by the tattoo shop next door on Friday the 13th and was drawn in by the owners kindness and smoothie samples she offered as we waited. The sandwiches are absolutely amazing! They’re fresh, they’re greatly portioned, and one of the best sandwiches I’ve had. The customer service was over the top! I will definitely be stopping by whenever I’m in the area again 😊“

“I ended up choosing the vegan banh mi, I loved it. I'm not easily impressed, and I will be back.
I came back and tried a chicken caprese. Also very good and the staff was again so nice. Pedro was welcoming and convinced me to try the fresh lemonade. Guava, Pomegranate, green...Amazing and fresh. You NEED try it.“

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

“Food is great, healthy, and consistent. The one time there was a small mistake, their manager fixed it immediately and was so gracious. I will continue to dine in, order take out, and order delivery from this location. The quality of the food is incredibly consistent.“

“Very nice veg sandwiches. Their ingredients and the bread are good quality. I had the hungry hippie, and the sprout, sauce, beetroot and ciabata bread were fresh. It was filling and satisfying.

The staff is also very friendly.“

“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.“

“If there’s one place known for Vietnamese coffee, it’s this one. That sweet, creamy, ice-cold brew will keep you wired longer than any energy drink. It’s strong, but in the best way. Don’t even bother asking for less ice because the drink is meant to be diluted. Without it, the coffee is way too concentrated (even their bottled version at Costco says to mix it with ice or water!).

As for the food, their banh mi are always solid. Fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Prices have crept up over the years, but that’s pretty much everywhere now. Still worth the visit.“

“Do we understand what a Philly cheesesteak is?

Let me explain. The whiz / provolone is melted into the meat. If you ask for extra cheese, it will not look any different. Just eat the sandwich and see how you feel

This is at the reviews saying “there’s no cheese” or “the meat is too salty”

This is a genuine Philly cheesesteak. Slightly heavy-handed on the whiz, but I was very randomly and pleasantly surprised. I haven’t had that taste since 8 years of leaving Pennsylvania“

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

“I am so glad Tesla installed their chargers in the parking lot right in front of this restaurant. Every time I am in the area I charge my vehicle in the same time get something to eat two things one place.. This plaza has a huge parking lot, which is also easy to park even if you’re not charging your vehicle. food is decent services also friendly.“

“Taco 🌮 we had tonight were fantastic.“

“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.“

“I been this store since 3 years now and the customer service still superb all the employees are so gentle and kind with the customer even in busy time they stay so calm and slimed all the time. I really appreciate to all of them especially evening shifts they are really supportive to their customers, because I always go evening time they always be so happy and energetic while they working. Thank you so much for giving us delicious food.“

“Not your typical strip mall sandwich place. Service is great. Sandwiches are awesome. Haven't had one sub par sandwhich at all. It's my perfect match great sandwhich (not skimping on portion size) and great craft beer, by brewery X and other local breweries.“

“The Mog Champ sends his regards.

One of the few places open in the morning for breakfast. Ordered a 6 inch philly sandwich which was delicious and filling to start the day! The salads and meat were fresh just like how we want it.

Service is great! They're friendly and quick, the tables and shop inside are kept clean. First subway experience in a long time and I'm glad we dropped by here for a quick morning meal! Thanks Subway staff!

Mogliest Regards,
Your Mog Champ“

“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!“

“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“

“This Subway location is significantly larger than most other Subway restaurants, which are usually cramped and feel crowded. Unfortunately, despite its spacious interior, it still shares the common drawback of other Subway outlets—it does not have any restrooms for customers to use, which can be inconvenient, especially for families or those planning to spend more time there.“

“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)“

“Aman and nik very good working I like to come here and here every food is very fresh and healthy I prefer to all guys to visit this subway and lobby is very clean and all items well settled the Indian guys always happy and make my sandwich very delicious really appreciated guys 😍😍😍“

“Good service, the Indian lady work at evening time doing great job, she made my sandwich very well, I ask her about her name she said kulwinder is her name , she is very nice and speak very polite to me and after me she handle other customer same she did with me .“

“I would like to commend, Ms. Natividad
S., manager of the Santa Monica, CA,
Subway , located at 1221 -A Wilshire Blvd..
Natividad patiently assisted me today,
4/1/25, with installing the Subway App on my i phone as my i phone skills are sadly very limited.. I signed the Subway App,
purchased a foot long , and have become
a Subway loyal customer……:… all because of Ms. Natividad S. courtesy and patient assistance.“

“Luv my TOGOS pastrami sandwich after coaching my spin class in Torrance

My first experience with TOGOS was when I was in college at Berkeley...so glad they made there way here

Thank you, ladies, for being so welcoming and for those delicious sandwiches !“

“The staff here were so kind they were very warm in greeting me and made my sandwich perfect 👌🏽 All the ingredients were so fresh and my sandwich was delicious. Thank you Jersey Mikes Harbor City you made my lunch break exceptional. :)“

“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“

“There I stood upon the corner of Expo and Fig, emaciated, starved, and beyond the point of no return. I felt the hand of God gripping my stomach. I needed sustenance. Lost in the labyrinth of the unforgiving Los Angeles streets, the Jersey Mikes near USC appeared to me as an oasis within the vast urban jungle, a mirage beyond blessings.
Upon entering the establishment, their air conditioning unit revived my spirit and the hearty scent of vinegar and oil reinvigorated my appetite.

I ordered the #7 with no provolone, extra banana peppers and Mike’s way. It tasted like the very grapes fed to Augustus Caesar, like the fine wine sipped by Peter at the last Supper, akin to the ripened fruit irresistible to Eve.

Safe to say I was satisfied. The warm, welcoming, charismatic customer service surely didn’t hurt. My wait time was nearly non existent. I swore an oath to defend the name of Jersey Mike himself on Judgement Day. In darkest night and brightest day, no Jersey Mikes #7 shall escape my sight“

“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.“

“Charley’s was a mouthful of Philly right here in Culver City! I got the “Old School” with provolone, grilled onions, and tomato. The bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The meat was shaved thin to perfection. And the fries! Thick and delicious. Coulda sworn I’d crossed the Schuykill to get here!“

“The people here are always amazing. They take my husband’s ACTUAL gluten allergy very seriously and make it in the back, away from all the gluten bread. They always smile at me and the owner acts as though we have been best friends for years (I think he’s helped me only 4 times. Ever- that’s how personable he is). Sign up for Shore Points, the rack up quickly- 140pts gets you a free giant sub!“

“The attached photo is a receipt from this Subway for a sandwich I bought back in 2009, more than 17 years ago. It was the first meal I had in the country I now call home.

I found this receipt tonight in a box of old memories and searched to see if this location still exists, and it does.

In 2009, this country inaugurated its first Black president.
In 2009, a sandwich here cost $5.

Seventeen years have come and gone. The country has changed so much — some say for better, and many others would say for worse.

This small, ordinary receipt marks an extraordinary beginning for me.

Thank you for the sandwich.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent Customer Service! This was my second time here and both times were awesome! I had to do a review this time. Tonight I had the pleasure of having Karla (Carla) make my sandwich. She was awesome! She made me aware that I can get my favorite sandwich HOT! I was excited, and she even turned me on to trying it with the chipotle mayo. She went above and beyond in helping me and I truly appreciate it!“

“Okay nice and clean very nice� sandwich was tasty veggies fresh�� pleasant evening good friends are the best����“

“Brandon was extremely helpful and hospitable while the other employees just seemed to be miserable . It was my first time and he really made my day with his kindness and good service . I will be coming back just because of how he treated me . Sandwich was good too ! Thanks Brandon !“
