16 Best Sandwich Shops near Durham

“Just had the pleasure of meeting Tony, who whipped up the best veggie patty sub I've EVER had at a Subway.He was super friendly & positive, which is a rarity in fast food workers. I remember when subway workers used to be called "sandwich artists", Tony was just that. Got it made perfect & quick!Give that man a raise or at least some kudos!“

“Incredible food and the owners are some of the most friendly and down to earth people I've ever met. Highly recommend the Mac Attack and the Empire State Chopper, both are fantastic and delicious.

Definitely looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu.“

“Not bad, very good. Good food & good people.“

“can NEVER go wrong getting a Thursday nite sangwitch“

“Cozy sandwich shop that offers breakfast and lunch sandwiches. I only like doing a Google review if the spot hits. My friends and I got the western breakfast sandwich, a hash brown and egg on a hard roll, and a tuna salad sandwich. We also got a raspberry chocolate and Vermont maple iced coffees that tasted exactly like their names! The sandwiches were so fresh and the tuna salad slapped it was so good!!!! The lady running the shop was very nice and was fast in making the food. We could see her making it and everything looked fresh and the kitchen was very clean. Highly recommend this little gem as we stopped in on the way down to Clinton outlets.“

“We got the vegan combo grilled wrap with roasted red peppers and without the special veggie mix, but we asked for some on the side when we went in to pick it up. (I’m not a fan of green peppers, and my husband can’t eat raw onions, so this way we could pick and choose. Turns out the green peppers were perfectly fine! They must have mellowed while marinating.). We chose the whole wheat wrap. It had a nice nutty flavor to it.

The “carpaccio” and/or “prosciutto” was quite nice! It was way more tender than most other vegan deli slices I’ve had. (Apparently they import it from Italy). The flavors were excellent!

We waited a few hours before eating it, since we got it for a later lunch as soon as they opened at 10:00 and kept it in a cooler. It was a little soggy in places, but still quite tasty. I definitely recommend it.
It’s packed with so much “meat” I’m glad the two of us shared one wrap.“

“Tried this deli for the first time. It is right up the street from my home. Ordered a breakfast sandwich and it was one of the best bacon , egg and cheese sandwiches EVER. Very clean as well.“

“Incredibly friendly staff! Clean environment and VERY delicious 😋 Thanks for being so incredible guys!“

“Every time I go to this Subway location, the people working have a smile on their faces. The store is nice and clean, the workers are friendly, the ingredients are always well stocked and the service is nice and fast. This is hands down the best Subway I’ve ever been to, no questions asked.“

“11/09/24- I stopped by after work heading to the hotel and George was on duty. He was busy, but immediately acknowledged me and went to wash up and came back happy.

We discussed the subs and he recommended #34 Spcy Nachos Steak. He added the way it says, but without green 🫑, extra jalapeños.

This is day two experience and I don’t know if previous reviews were out of anger because I have had great customer service.

11/08/24- I haven’t been to a Subway in years and today I stopped by for the $6.99 special. I walked in and was loudly greeted by Ilvin who was friendly and made me feel like I’m an old customer. He made all the customers feel comfortable and happy to be there.

Subway has so many new meals I asked Ilvin about the different subs. Ilvin did not seem put out and he went over the breads, the meats and all the toppings. He made it easy to order but hard to choose 😋

I ordered #23 Hotshot Italiano Sub based on his recommendation and it did not disappoint because I enjoyed every bite.

He wasn’t stingy with the jalapeños and he added just enough sauce that it didn’t make the bread soggy.

Ilvin explained how to earn points. If he isn’t the manager he is manager material with his positive attitude. I asked about the other guy in the back and Ivin said they are a team. I was impressed he spoke well of his staff.

I leave in a week, but I may start eating a new subway every day thanks to Ilvin and my great experience! Ya Sabes! 😎

Kid-friendliness: I am sure they have a sub for every kid. If the kid is picky or not, chubby or thin there’s a sub on the menu for them.“

“This review would have been very different if I did not get in touch with the manager on duty (Jermaine). I appreciate your understand and quick resolution of the issue that had came up yesterday. Today's sandwich was delicious and just how I would like to enjoy. Jermaine you are great but I had to edit this post because I am on my 4th bite and found a long brown hair in my sandwich! Just called back and your shift had ended I appreciate all you have tried to do for me to resolve my first issue.... I would recommend hair nets or hats especially to those with longer hair“

“There was just one man working (possibly the owner?) and he was fantastic. Incredibly kind & attentive. Friendly & chatty while making our orders & keeping my 4yo entertained too. You don’t find many people who can multitask like this anymore. He is a gem. We’ll be back to this location to support him!“

“Went at 9:00 pm, someone standing outside of the drive thru window. No car. I pull up to place an order waited 5 mins and no one even acknowledged they would be taking my order. Needless to say I left. They will not be getting my business. 4/13/22“

“The food here is great I come here to eat often when Im at the mall“

“To the woman you have working on June 10, 2025 during lunch shift, you make the best subway sandwiches I’ve ever had, give this person a promotion! Always the perfect amount of toppings, no skippy amount of tuna, always a perfect sandwich. You ROCK!“

“I had a great experience at this location, unlike the awful experience I had at the subway downtown recently. Every employee and the owner himself are consistently cleaning. You can eat off the floor here. All the food is well kept and always fresh as had been on my last three visits there. When I was joking and telling my story of another visit at another location, I said, “you would think that a food business would at least keep things clean in customer view…nobody could see what happens behind the counter or in the freezer, haha”. At this point both the owner and another woman there immediately invited to escort me go in the back, the storage area, even the freezer to take a look!!! I was amazed. I didn’t have to at that point!!“
