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.“

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

“YUMMY!

I had the gluten free chicken pesto and my hubby had the gluten free turkey deluxe sandwich.

First things first, we are visiting from the Midwest and we do not have GF focaccia bread!

Their bread was so soft, delicious, and unbelievable. I had to question if my order was prepared GF! My chicken pesto sandwich was absolutely delicious and my hubby enjoyed his as well. You know when it’s so quiet you can hear a pin drop? That’s exactly how our table was as we sat outside and devoured our sandwiches! The young men inside were very kind and provided great customer service as well. I highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a delicious sandwich and you need GF preparation.“

“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.“

“Sandwiches are well made with fresh meat and vegetables. Large variety of bread to choose from. The SQUAW bread is my recommendation!
Friendly and helpful staff. Old school service and friendliness that is not common anymore these days. I hope it remains here at The Marketplace!.“

“Nice, warm, friendly place roast beef is the best I’ve ever had! And no Soy“

“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.“

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

“Catering boxes were excellent. An absolute pleasure dealing with this co. Reliable delivery too“

“The BEST BURGER EVER! The food is amazing. Anyone that wants a healthier diet but doesn't want to cut out the great tasting foods. Anytime you are in Vegas or San Diego, you must visit them“

“Some of the best sandwiches in San Diego.“

“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!“

“The orders were 3 Romas and a Calabrian.
The conversation was about the rise of the performative male. From carabiners to matchas, an intricate discussion was had while focaccia disappeared beneath hungry eyes.

I’ll be back with a vengeance. Thank you for your time.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great place and what a great find!

Santa Maria BBQ chicken salad was so fresh and delicious. I love their chipotle dressing.

The cashier was so nice. Her name was Layla please tell her when you see her she is doing such and excellent job! Than you for being in the area and being wonderful Urbane!“

“Super chill little place. The people were really friendly, the bread and ingredients tasted fresh. Everyone enjoyed their sandwiches, and the vibes were great. There's a small seating area out front, but you can walk through the interior to a larger patio out back where there's also a coffee stand. When we were there, there wasn't any seating set up indoors, not sure if they ever have that or not.“

“Easily the best sandwich shop in all of SD!!! While you and I might make sandwiches at home, none of us is making a Peperone Rosso. All their Sicilian sandwiches are made on freshly baked schiacciata bread. My choice, the Peperone Rosso balances unctuous salami with peppery arugula, roasted cherry tomato, creamy stracciatella cheese, Pesto di pistachio, and red pepper cream.

I can't wait to go soon and try their other offerings.“

“I was a Chēba Hut virgin until last night! I have been converted! We visited the new Clarksville TN location and I will be a regular! Great atmosphere and the food was phenomenal!“

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

“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!!“

“Went here for lunch with high expectations from previous reviews. I was impressed ! Staff was super sweet and attentive, didn’t finish what they were doing then come handle me, they dropped what they were doing to get to my needs and I truly appreciate that ! I also got chipotle mayo on the side and it was delicious! Even the cashier was super nice and reminded me to take my card. Overall, I will definitely be comming back !! I’d say it’s a MUST TRY !“

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

“friendly people, service was great.“

“This bustling place has been growing. I’d love to see one or two up North in Oregon. Good skate parks and beers. Or maybe I just have enjoy the SOCal that much.“

“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!“

“My Breakfast style Banh mi, was $8.50 and I got a Free (Orange Colored) Thai Tea! 2 Can eat for under $20!!
The sandwich was yummy and so was the drink. I think there is new ownership but we were able to sit down and eat in the Cool air conditioned atmosphere.“

“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!!“

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

“The owners and the people working here make it the best Jersey Mike’s around!“

“I came here because I drove by and seen Subs. The place is clean and has a few seats. The server was kind and took my order right away. I got an Italian sub. It took less than 10 minutes to get my order. I got it cold , it was very delicious. Nice size sub. I should have told them to warm the bread. I forgot. But I will definitely be back.“

“This bustling place has been growing. I’d love to see one or two up North in Oregon. Good skate parks and beers. Or maybe I just have enjoy the SOCal that much.“

“Across the board the food was great, the staff were really friendly and informative. Also there was a cute girl with a green SD hat who was really nice and very personable. A great place to eat with a wonderful staff. Would come back again.“

“I ordered the Golden State Cobb salad and had it made into a wrap with added chicken. Every single ingredient tasted remarkably fresh. The bacon was extra crispy and gave the wrap an amazing crunch, while the rustic red wine vinaigrette had the perfect zesty pop. On top of the delicious food, I love knowing they prioritize local, sustainable sourcing and clean ingredients. Will definitely be back soon!“

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