39 Best Sandwich Shops near San Carlos

“I like my sandwiches moist - there is nothing worse when you unwrap that paper around your deli sandwich and wonder if they forgot to put any sauce, condiments on there, and if your lunch experience is going to be drier than dirt. No worries about that at Lou's. By now, I've tried about 7 or 8 of their sandwiches and every single one has been a wonderfully messy delight (extra napkins!). Somehow, their signature jalapeno sauce seems to go with every thing - haven't found a mis-match between that sauce and any sandwich yet. The bread - where the hell are they getting this bread?!?? It is the best deli sandwich bread I've had since I fell in love with the dutch crunch at Sam's Deli as a teenager (oh, those were the days!!). The folks there are great - just cranking out one delicious meal after the next with quiet precision and skill. Awfully nice to have this place right here in town!“

“Subway eat fresh that is what I did. Ordering online or by the app is the trend these days less contact with other people and germ spreading. I recommend this wrap is tastes delicious. You can customize your food any way you want so knowing what they offer is a big help.“

“Wow. Just wow. The Sandwich Spot has completely redefined what a sandwich can be. Mine was an absolute symphony of flavor and texture – truly flawless. It's going to be incredibly difficult to enjoy any other sandwich after experiencing this level of deliciousness. Five stars isn't enough!“

“Easily the best sandwich of my lifetime. I paused after every bite, saying “Damn, this is amazing”. The bread had that perfect crust and taste. While I’m at it, it’s also hard for me to remember a better tasting chocolate chip cookie.“

“This quaint little gem boasts of an array of cheeses and charcuterie. Their sandwiches are one of the tastiest with ingredients of the highest quality!!“

“Amazing sandwiches and bread!!!!“

“First time tried their subs. It was very tasty and good quality. Thankful that we have a halal subs close by. Highly recommend.“

“Leonardo’s is OPEN for business, phone orders and pick up. Uber Eats option available this Friday March 20th. Please keep them in mind during this time, with everyone home from school and work enjoy a great deli sandwich, homemade soup or fine salads.“

“Stoped by for a fresh breakfast to start the day. I was promptly greeted and helped to order an omelette. I dined in and enjoyed the breakfast. It’s nice to be able to get freshly prepared food close to the hotel to start the day out. I’m looking forward to trying out lunch next time in town.“

“I always order the #1 Turkey on Dutch Crunch, very fresh with lots of meat. My son loves the Pastrami! Vegetarian options as well. It is a take out establishment, check the hours, closed Sun. and Mon. Call ahead if you can to order ahead of time. Affordable. One of Belmont's finest establishments. (Been going here 23 years)“

“So good!!! Best sandwich I ever had!“

“Charming little sandwich shop located in the Burlingame Shopping Plaza. They offer a wide variety of hot and cold gourmet sandwiches, with lots of condiments, sauces, and dressings to choose from. The sandwich portions are quite generous, and the staff is fast and efficient. There is usually a line, so the wait time can be 15-30 minutes. Call ahead to order is probably the best way. Large free parking lot.“

“Awesome and fresh ! Defo worth going there for food and check it out your selves, it will be worth it!“

“I had the North Shore sandwich. It was delicious! The portions here are generous, you will not leave hungry. I’m looking forward to returning and trying one of the salads, they looked incredible. Definitely check Beach Hut Deli out when you are in the area.“

“Mendocino Farms – Salad Sorcery & Sandwich Gold in Palo Alto

Mendo Farms is the kind of spot that turns skeptics into salad believers and sandwich lovers into loyalists. Every visit is consistently solid, like clockwork but tastier.

The Not So Fried Chicken sandwich? A masterpiece. Crunchy enough to feel sinful, but technically “not fried,” so your conscience stays clear. And the Peruvian Steak sandwich? Smoky, tangy, a little spicy—it’s basically a culinary mic drop.

But the real flex here? Their salads are wizardry. Somehow hearty, fresh, and balanced without ever feeling like rabbit food. The portion ratio? Chef’s kiss. No sad lettuce pile here—you’re getting flavor-packed bites all the way down.

Whether you’re grabbing lunch between meetings or fueling up for a Stanford stroll, Mendocino Farms keeps it casual, creative, and ridiculously craveable.“

“Okay so the service is excellent! Gabrielle was very helpful and knowledgeable on the menu. We had the avocado quinoa salad and the chicken sandwich spicy one. It was okay. The salad was a little different Grinding crunchy quinoa which for 35 and up freaks you out because it feels like a tooth broke! If you have allergies it might be hard to pick through food as my man is allergic to corn and onion and it was all over the food. The juice is awesome but lemonade was too sweet! They should fix by the juice because it was a mess of dirty towels. Overall I give this place a 4 because it’s a great concept with good service but needs to clean up a little. Would I come here again??? Maybe if someone wanted it. So it’s not a no. Kiddos to awesome employees.“

“Mendocino Farms continues to impress with its consistently excellent food and top-tier service. Even during the busiest rush hours, the staff handles the flow with remarkable efficiency and calm. The atmosphere is always happy and welcoming—it’s the kind of place that lifts your mood the moment you walk in.

A special shoutout to Fabio, who is truly exceptional. Generous, attentive, and incredibly good at what he does, he makes every guest feel valued, turning a great meal into a genuinely memorable experience.

Highly recommend this spot—not just for the food, but for the warmth and professionalism that make it stand out.“

“This is the place to get a Great Deli Sandwich. They also serve burgers too. They have a great salad bar as well. It's in an industrial park area off of Harbor street, so parking can be tight. I will definitely hit this place up again when I'm in South San Francisco near the airport 😃😃😃“

“Best Vietnamese sandwiches and super friendly staff!“

“food is so yummy!! and service is great.“

“Never had it before and it was very delicious!! Great staff, greeted with smiles and efficient, quality service!!“

“Kareoke is fun there and it started back today and every Thursday. Food and service is great.“

“Reliable sandwich/wrap/toast spot. The servings are big, ingredients taste fresh, and flavors are balanced. Nothing special, but every neighborhood needs a spot like this! Seating is tight inside but probably could fit 10-15, and there is more seating outside. Feels kind of lame that they charge a few cents more for a wheat tortilla.“

“I’m work on my first day of Erik DeliCafe check out Show me tour“

“Amazing sandwiches 🥪 & salads 🥗“

“I am so glad they opened this sandwich spot! I ordered 5 items for takeout and it came out to only $34. I got 2 veggie sandwiches on Dutch crunch. Best sandwiches in San Mateo County. I also tried their 2 dessert options. They have the bst carrot cake I have ever had! Their chocolate chip cookie tasted very rich. I had their veggie soup which was fresh and delicious. This place is my new go to spot. The location is a little awkward, but the inside is organized and clean. It only took 10 minutes to make my order. Definitely a satisfied customer!!!“

“A hidden gem in Palo Alto, you have to come all the way to the end of street, but totally worth it.

I ordered a "Grilled NY Famous Reuben with Sauerkraut & 1000 Island Dressing", OMG, it's just so good for the summer.

Not to mention the old gentleman owner cook your sandwich for you, you're actually in the New York of Bay Area.“

“sandwich great cookies. great friendly owners“

“Accidental Visit Turned Into a New Favorite!
I stopped by Jersey Mike’s by mistake—I was actually looking for Subway but ended up in their parking lot. I decided to give it a try, and I’m so glad I did!

The team was super friendly, and while they had fewer ingredient options than Subway, everything was incredibly fresh and clean. I ordered a wheat turkey sandwich in the “giant” size, and it did not disappoint! The meat and bread were both delicious, and they definitely give you more turkey than Subway does.

The overall experience, from the welcoming staff to the high-quality food, was great. I’ve officially found a new favorite sandwich spot!“

“The best sandwich I've had in a very long time. Thank you for having such delicious gluten free sourdough bread. 😋“

“Been coming hear for years. Never disappointed with what I order here. They have a good selection of beverages and chips and of course the sandwiches are fantastic.

Vegetarian options: Good selection of delicious vegetarian and vegan options“

“Location always clean, staff very friendly and have been working for quite some time. Enjoyed my sandwich“

“The sandwich that myself and my father got was great especially with the buy one great one free deal I would have gave five stars but my sprite and chips was forgotten and they charge me for it. They need to make sure everything is in my order before delivery especially since I was charged for it…“

“We came to this restaurant on the last day of the coupons validity. The nice woman behind the counter helped me use the coupon for 3 footlongs, because on the last day the program considered it expired. The ingredients are fresh, the subs are delicious. The place is spacious and very clean.“

“Great variety of veggie sandwiches. I got the Steve Job sandwich which was really good and the salted caramel cookie was excellent. They can make many of their vegetarian sandwiches vegan.“

“Greetings fellow sandwich seekers!
I have not visited in many years and wanted to share my recent experience. Depending on your needs, this could be a nice resource and alternative to other food options nearby. Sandwich, chips and soda came to $17.77 although I did not feel especially lucky: [ 7 | 7 | 7 ]
The service was friendly, skilled and efficient, and yet the takeaway was either I am out of touch with food options on-campus or a high-profile music concert was about to begin in the courtyard based on the meal co$t. In other words, if you are looking for a drink and a snack, they have a nice variety of both. If you are looking for an affordable lunch option that you might consider making a habit, this may inspire you to find your favorite bread at the grocery store, to meal prep your must-have toppings and try the DIY sandwich crafting path instead. If you had a tuna kit and a slice of cheese, would they sell you two nice slices of bread? Maybe next time!“
