50 Best Sandwich Shops in Denver

“Walking Denver and looking for lunch. Intrigued by the sandwich description, and appreciated the reviews. The sandwich was exactly as advertised. Sometimes it is nice to do one thing and do it well. Our group did three versions of the sandwich, and all were happy. Only one of us finished the whole thing. The Mexican Coke is a plus as well. Stop in for good eats.“

“Banh Mi Station is hands down one of my favorite spots for Vietnamese food! Every time I come here, I’m blown away by how consistently fresh and flavorful everything is.

What makes this place even more special is the staff. They are always so kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful.

I also had a personal experience that really speaks to their character and integrity. I accidentally left my bag at the restaurant, and the team went above and beyond to help me get it back. They were incredibly understanding and made the whole situation stress-free. That level of honesty and care is rare and so appreciated.

Amazing food, outstanding service, and genuinely good people—Banh Mi Station is a place I’ll keep coming back to and recommending to everyone!“

“Great vegan subs! I can't wait to go back when my belly is empty again.“

“The hangover and flapjack Friday are awesome, and the potatoes are amazing too 😊😊“

“One of the BEST deli. Sandwiches I ever had, and the Tall lady behind the counter was awesome! Looking forward to going back for another one.“

“Truly an amazing experience ever time I go, you learn new things about things each and every time you show up. Like this time in particular I learned about the secret menu. Make sure to ask about, That alongside the regular menu. It's a great selection of sandwiches you won't find anywhere else. I would definitely recommend coming in rather by yourself or with a group of friends. Very low-key and friendly crowd and the employees are very helpful to help you make your final selection. I will be coming back again sometime in the near future whenever I'm back to visit Denver. I would definitely recommend this location!!! While the others are very nice as well, this one in particular as a certain type of connection to it that you'll learn the problem soon as you arrive.“

“Cute 420 themed establishment with tasty subs, unique mural on the wall, and friendly staff. Soda machine was down but bar was accommodating. All food was hot and tasty. A bit pricey but what isn't these days? Would consider eating there again.“

“Very cool experience! The front half is a sandwich shop / bakery. Then you can goto the back patio and its got plenty of seating and a window to order from. Met Duke the owner who was super friendly and chill. The smashburger was delicious and exactly what I was looking for. Highly recommend checking this place out!“

“The staff here is WONDERFUL!! Staff can make or break a place. The staff here hands down makes it!! Very welcoming and kind! Manager was one of the best!! 10 out of 10!!!i wish I had gotten his name!! But he knows who he is!! Fabulous!! Keep up the kind work. You are making a difference!!“

“Ray from the Longmont location was amazing!! He took great care of our group of 8. Even while being short staffed the service was still fast and great!! Thank you Ray!!“

“What a little gem! I had their sticky pork banh mi and I have to say the flavor bomb exploded in my mouth! The bread was crispy on the outside, soft inside, but the meat is what stole the show. The slices were thick and the sauce delightful. Good portion size. I usually eat half for lunch and take the other half home. It reminds of banh mi I had in Vietnam! 10/10“

“Great local joint. Awesome people. Loved the gluten-free green chili Colorado beef sandwich.“

“I ordered lunch while I was at work. Upon arrival I was quickly welcomed by staff and asked how they can assist me. When I received my order it was with a friendly smile from the kitchen crew and everything I had ordered was hot and fresh. I enjoyed the experience and the delicious food.“

“Everything is sooo good here! I always stop by to grab something to bring home and eat after work.“

“Worth the wait! Italian was delicious, bread was amazing! Can’t beat the price! Staff killed it, so pleasant despite the customers waiting“

“We were looking for something a little different and stumbled across Ike’s in downtown Denver—and I’m glad we did.

This is definitely not your ordinary sandwich shop. The menu alone is worth the visit, with a ton of creative (and entertaining) sandwich names that make it hard to choose.

I went with the Paul Reubens, and overall it was pretty spectacular—great flavor, fresh ingredients, and a solid build. My only knock is that it felt a little light on the meat for the price, but the taste still delivered.

The staff really stood out—super friendly, patient, and more than willing to answer questions and offer suggestions, which made the experience even better.

And a fun little touch at the end—they offered us a sucker “just to share the love.” It’s small, but it fits their vibe perfectly.

Final Verdict:
A unique sandwich spot with great service and creative flair. I’d definitely come back and try something else on the menu.“

“The staff is amazing and so is the food you can't go wrong with the special of the day for $11.50!“

“The staff is always super friendly and the sandwiches are awesome!“

“As a Vietnamese customer, I really appreciate this little bánh mì shop. The bánh mì here is delicious and very close to the authentic taste in Vietnam — crispy bread, flavorful fillings, and fresh vegetables that make every bite satisfying. Besides bánh mì, they also have other Vietnamese favorites like sticky rice (xôi), steamed buns (bánh bao), and more. Everything I tried was really tasty and comforting, just like the street food I grew up with.

From the outside, the shop may not look very fancy or luxurious, but once you walk in, it feels warm and welcoming. The atmosphere inside reminds me a lot of Vietnam — simple, cozy, and full of that familiar feeling of home.

What makes this place even more special is the owner. They are very kind and friendly, and I heard that they even send money back to Vietnam to help children in difficult areas. That kind of generosity and heart makes me respect this place even more.

Great food, warm atmosphere, and kind people behind it. I’m very happy to support this business. Definitely a 5-star experience for me! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Delicious Sandwiches and Staff was AMAZING!!! We will be back for sure!“

“Normally, I love Jersey Mikes tonight wass the first time service was good the two subs were very below their normal very disappointing. I will need to think about ever returning.“

“The experience at this restaurant exceeded my expectations. Kristopher immediately greeted us with a very warm and friendly demeanor and explained the menu and gave his recommendations.
The restaurant was clean, spacious, and bright. There is plenty of seating.
The drinks were refreshing and flavorful without being overly sweet.
The food and portions were excellent.
We had the BLT and the Thai mango salad. The BLT was way better than I expected (as my daughter chose it). The bacon was well cooked and flavorful. The tomato was fresh and the amount of arugula was perfect.
The Thai mango salad was also delicious. It was filling yet fresh and bursting of flavors with contrasting textures.
All the staff were very polite and exceedingly helpful.
I will definitely be back.
You will not regret it.“

“Love this store. Always bring out-of-town guests here because it is a great experience. Friends can always buy local products to take home. So many extraordinary products beautifully displayed. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Always have a great time shopping here.“

“Delicious Sandwiches and Staff was AMAZING!!! We will be back for sure!“

“Great Italian sammich. Highly suggest this joint.“

“We've been eating here for several years. The staff is always courteous, friendly and helpful. The food is great, we did try another locations but S. Colorado is better. The location is clean and well maintained. Atmosphere loses 1 star since there is nothing special about the decor. Overall a great experience worthy of repeat visits.“

“bangin sammys 🔥🔥🔥🔥 thick turkey - The Telluride“

“Snarf’s on Federal is hands down one of the best sandwich spots in Denver. Every time I come here, the food hits the mark—fresh ingredients, perfect bread, and that signature Snarf’s flavor you can’t get anywhere else.

The staff is fast, friendly, and they keep things running smoothly even during the lunch rush. Whether you’re grabbing a hot Italian, turkey and swiss, or their killer veggie options, you can’t go wrong.

It’s clear this place takes pride in what they do. If you’re a sandwich person, this needs to be on your go-to list in Denver. Solid five stars.“

“So I had to write a review because this is consistently the BEST JJ in Colorado. I’ve been to many locations multiple times. None of them compare to this one. They are friendly, have the best and freshest ingredients and make my sandwich perfect every time. I’m vegetarian due to cancer and it seems impossible to get any other location to make me a good veggie sandwich. They make what I ask for including extra lettuce and cucumbers. You would think it wouldn’t be that hard, but it is for other locations. Highly recommend this location. Thanks for always being kind and making my sandwich right!“

“Appreciated the top notch service from Mike. Kind responsive and polite. Love this place. Got the meatball sub and love the ginormous hot sauce selections!!!...Matt“

“I bought the cajun chicken avocado. It was very tasty. The staff was very friendly with assisting me with my choice of sandwich. Faydrick was friendly and possesses excellent customer service skills. I will revisit in the near future.“

“Very good service and good food“

“I’m obsessed over the turkey sandwich. The pickled onions and what I think is a horseradish sauce really make it above all the others. Highly recommend!“

“I love it when a new business comes to the neighborhood and appreciates its customers! Anybody and everybody can make a mistake, yet isn’t it great when a ‘Super Hero’ corrects the mistake graciously? Well Ed Collier manager at Jersey Mike’s on Tower Rd was that ‘Super Hero’ today. Thank you again and welcome to the neighborhood“

“What is up with trying to sell a can of Arizona Iced Tea marked 99¢ on the can for $2.45? That seems like bad form.“

“I’m from where the original Head West is in Illinois and I have bragged endlessly to people in Denver about how good these subs are and how nothing compares here. Imagine my excitement when I find out this location opened up. Don’t think twice - eat here!!! Way better than Cheba and Snarf’s combined“

“Super friendly staff and delicious, fresh tasting sandwiches - we assumed it was a pay and pick up at the counter style, but one of the staff was kind enough to bring the sandwiches to our table. The Ridgeline was amazing with the perfect amount of sauce complimenting the juicy cold cuts and crisp veggies. The portions were large for a good price (in this economy?!) and shareable (unless you're a shameless foodie like me). Hope to come back soon and try their other specialties!“

“I’ve known Snarf soooo far back! The food is so good, very clean and all the employees are super nice. Great place to go!“

“Really enjoyed visiting Snarfs for the first time. Delicious food and friendly staff!“

“I had the Italian sub. The BEST sub I have ever eaten!! The way they toast the bread is delicious. The balance of flavors was perfect. Yum! Highly recommend!!“

“Great sandwiches, fresh local everything, cool peeps...eat this $hit immediately! Platte Park CORNERSTONE in the making. Sooo good 😬“

“Stop here every time we come in from Ohio!“

“The Vietnamese Pork and the Shrimp Paste Bahn Mi Sandwiches were excellent and full of flavor. I recommend this Bakery. It’s not an eat-in place but great food makes it a go-to Bahn Mi destination.“

“Loved the prime rib sandwich, now just need a utah residence. I've eaten more expensive sandwiches for the same price if not more expensive, and Snarfs prime Rib beats them. Though wish gluten free was more affordable or had a sourdough, and couple more ingredients like avacado and olives. But even without I think the prime Rib is one of the best sandwiches you can buy, better than any deli sandwich place that's local where I live.“

“I must say that I was impressed the first time I stopped by the Snarf’s location in Lowry, and after about 6 months and multiple visits later have made it my go to whenever I’m in the area. The manager Brandon Parsons is always very friendly and runs a great store along with his employees Sonia & Yasira. It’s not often that I would take the time to write a review, however the last time I stopped in I was not only greeted with a smile but also by first name which made me feel really appreciated as a loyal customer.“

“💕💕💕 Best sandwiches ever!“

“The staff are absolutely fantastic here! They went above and beyond to assist me, they all had smiles on their faces, and we had some laughs along the way. Potbelly is a fave sandwich shop of mine and not all staffs are created equal, so I def recommend this location.“

“Love JJs, hate big game trophy killing, just stop, make a big public announcement, go fish for Marlin, nobody cares about that, moron. Don’t be a rich douche.“

“I absolutely LOVE Luis! I manage a high rise residential building in the heart of Downtown Denver and a girl needs her Jimmy Johns to get through the busy Monday's! Not only is he always so kind and efficient, he treats me like family!! He is the highlight of my week! Thank you for always taking care of me Luis! <3“
