50 Best Sandwich Shops in San Diego

“Wow, such great food and awesome service! Had the lobster roll and it was quality lobster and overflowing with actual meat. Everything was delicious.“

“The location is convenient and the menu is straightforward. Came here for sandwiches around 11:00am and got the most popular one, the brisket, on gluten-free bread. They took the gluten allergy seriously. My friends got the spicy chicken sandwiches and a smoothie. Some of my friends didn’t love the bread for their sandwich, so I’m giving it a four, but I’d recommend it if you’re in the mood for a sandwich.“

“this place was so good 😊 I did a review of it on my channel mike420kungfu other day 🐉“

“Amazing service! Went on Sunday to the Hillcrest farmers market and wanted something to eat. I ordered the breakfast bacon and OMG it was so good! I’ll forsure be coming back especially living walking distance to the farmers market.“

“Very friendly staff the food is great.“

“We met Jim on the day we found out about him generously donating the proceeds of a fundraiser for Brandon, the late owner of “The Friendly”. They had run out of the “fundraiser special” so I tried the Super Beef. Piled high with rare, tender roast beef on a toasted Sweet Onion bun, I was blown away. It’s so huge that I really should have only eaten half but I couldn’t - stop - eating! The taste of this delicious sandwich, along with the friendly demeanor of Jim and his assistant Asher, will have us coming back over and over!“

“This is a cute little deli with really really good sandwiches that travel pretty well! My fiancé and I stopped here before heading to the zoo and carried them in my tote bag for about 3 hours and they just barely started to soak through the wrapper. The sandwiches were delicious and reasonably priced! I would definitely recommend this place for travelers looking for something easy and delicious!“

“Some of the best sandwiches in San Diego.“

“Food was great both times I have been here. The double cheese burger was awesome. The meat was juicy and the burger was huge. Their lamb shank was also very good. It was mostly quiet both times I have visited. I would surely recommend this place to others.“

“Great food and very healthy and delicious salads! The focaccia bread is to die for!“

“This is hands down one of the best sandwiches I've had! I had the Thin Man sandwich and it was loaded with filling. Friendly staff, great service, great location. Well worth a visit!“

“It's legitimately a gourmet sandwich, with very premium toppings. The fresh focaccia is a rare treat. But I cannot give 5 stars, as everything was too oily and they lack any vegan protein offerings. (Mozzarella available for cheese eaters.) This is just a sandwich stand, you eat at outdoor tables in front of an office building. I was there early and they were very fast. Ignore the printed menu prices, as my $12.50 sandwich was actually just under $17.“

“Best BLT on Soda Bread yummy and fresh vegetables.“

“The best authentic Vietnamese"banh mi" in Southern California. I live in LA, but every time I travel to San Diego, Paris Bakery is always my first place to visit. They have a variety type of Banh mi with reasonable price, their tastes are always delicious.“

“Found this place at a farmer's market. Always went back when in town. A husband and wife team. They remember my Sandwich Everytime I visit. Love their creation/twist on a classic, Grilled cheese.“

“LOVE the sandwich. It was huge, definitely big enough to share. I was delighted to get to try a bottle of Butterscotch Rootbeer, as well. Highly recommend!!“

“Great food but terrible location in the middle of an industrial park. They need to move to a strip mall on a busy street to get more business“

“Amazing sandwiches we found to be the best in town“

“A fantastic sandwich for a fantastic price. The veggies are always plentiful and fresh. Could there be more meat? Sure, but for $6.25 per special combination really can’t complain. It’s perfect for the price. I can’t recommend their coffee though, it’s more bitter and burnt tasting than most Vietnamese places.“

“Meg up with some WFH Coworkers I haven’t seen in a while. Great place to grab a sandwich, sit in the patio and reconnect on a beautiful San Diego “Fall” day!“

“Hands down the best place to get an awesome sandwich. Also now they carry GoldLok Supreme Vodka.“

“Always delicious 😋! Always great service!“

“Fresh and Yummy Banh Mi Sandwiches!!“

“Awesome thanks and professional service staff“

“Great food, friendly, hard working staff!“

“I've been coming here since I was a lil girl and my favorite is bbq pork. that's the only one we ever get when we stop by here but yeah this place is a hidden gems. Ppls see the images from how it looks but be open minded and give this place a try and I promise you, you wont regret it. 💜“

“friendly people, service was great.“

“Both the convince store and deli workers are nice and provide good service (unlike the one accross the street). Prices are about on par with next door and accross the street. The sandwiches are also great and the portions are massive. One my my regular spots“

“I enjoyed the atmosphere. I ordered a breakfast burrito with pico and avocado. Objectively speaking, it was pretty good. I found the pico to be a bit heavy on the onion, as tomato should be the focal point, with onion to accent the flavor. The hot sauces also could use more body, whether it’s more vinegar or more peppers. Overall, the sauces were quite watery with mild pepper flavor, which can definitely affect how the average customer views the quality of the restaurant.

If you make the hot sauces a bit thicker, and use less onion in the pico, I think it would benefit the business significantly!“

“Awesome sandwiches and service!! We had Ike’s cater a tray of sandwiches for a co-worker’s retirement and they were a big hit! And the manager was super friendly and service was fast. Wish I had taken a photo of the nice tray they quickly put together but we were so hungry and quickly ate all the sandwiches. Everyone loved the fun names of the sandwiches too. I highly recommend!!“

“Good size Beef Bahnmi sandwich. Much bigger than usual for $7.99. Also their pickled carrots and veggies have a mild sweet flavor. Really good food. Steady flow of customers. The owner is a decent guy, not very talkative and kind of an introvert.“

“Chris and Israel are the best! They are very attentive and efficient. Downtown is so busy and hectic that it's nice to have a place for breakfast , lunch and snacking. It's affordable, fulfilling clean and has outdoor seating as well. The Lentil Soup tastes like love in a cup. I look forward to coming back and getting my usual 🤗“

“Love that they use all the authentic ingredients in a Philly Cheesesteak“

“Hands down the best sub shop around! The staff is so friendly! I highly recommend this place. Plus the food is really good!“

“We ordered catering for our annual appreciation event and we are grateful to always have a positive experience with this Which Wich location by SDSU. The communication was always prompt, respectful and incredibly helpful, especially for our attendees with food allergens and dietary needs. The food was delicious and all of guests thoroughly enjoyed it. I highly recommend Which Wich to anyone considering this option for their next catering event. I know we'll definitely order again for our future events!“

“todo ;lo que ordenes esta delicioso sabroso y fresco la gente es maravillosa junto con los encargados te invito a que pruebes🥰“

“Loved their sandwiches. service and the cookies are to die for!!!“

“Amazingly friendly staff. When you walk in, you immediately feel like family. There is so much variety. The #25 is amazing with it's fresh sliced avocado. The #45 is easily my favorite hot sandwich. There is always 2 new soups daily and all of them are absolutely delicious. Everything is fresh and fully customizable. The prices are easily justified when you consider just how big the portions are. The staff in general will always make you feel welcome. They are attentive to their customers and have a unique way of making a bad day a lot better. Highly recommend just for the atmosphere here.“

“great quality at a good price“

“Even their simplest of sandwiches are great. I wish they had after work hours.“

“FYI…description for Philly cheesesteak reflects turkey sandwich on website site so I mistakenly ordered Philly but wanted the turkey. I normally wouldn’t order the Philly but it was yummy. Definitely recommend and look forward to trying the turkey next time.“
