50 Best Sandwich Shops in Washington

“Delicious flavors and fresh quality. Worth it to just sit and eat at their table-less benches outside they have.“

“I ordered the honey maple chicken sandwich! It was falling apart, but had great spicy sweet flavor. Service could be better, but overall a pretty good first time experience. It’s somewhat chaotic inside. I don’t recommend the croissants. They are coated in some kind of sugar glaze. It was too sweet and I could not eat it.“

“The place was really cute though my photo doesn’t do it justice. They had bright lighting and a high ceiling. We went during the Wharf boat parade so it was great hideout from the cold and the crowd.

I ordered on the kiosk when I walked in. The service was fast and the sandwich was fresh. I ordered the Retzo sandwich with chicken cutlet and it had this sweet and spicy sauce that was perfect for the weather.“

“i get the Italian and you should too. literally it's that good. go get it¡“

“everything you get from there is good no complaints from me“

“I traveled to DC on a roadtrip from florida and I came here and got serviced by Josh. I have never had more outstanding service in any restaurant ever than I did here. I ordered the nobadeer and Josh was so helpful in answering my questions and so kind! Thank you!“

“The cookies are so fresh and full of flavor. Also am a big fan of the coffee.“

“Great sandwich choices and excellent bread as well as contents“

“I usually stick to my routine and don’t like stepping out of my comfort zone, but for some reason, I decided to try a new sandwich place. I Googled one but couldn’t find it. After driving around in circles, I searched for another location—only to find that it was closed for a while, which was incredibly frustrating.

Fortunately, I stumbled upon Sandwiches & Smoothies (S&S) across the street. The food was delicious, the smoothies were fantastic, and the customer service was excellent! My partner and I enjoyed three sandwiches because we were so hungry I highly recommend supporting this small business—they're doing everything right!“

“Probably the best sloppy joe I’ve ever had. I rarely leave reviews, but this place deserves it, 100%. The guys who make the magic happen inside of this establishment are always happy, and welcoming, leaving you with a memorable TASTY experience. Also, the hot dogs are out of this world. Will keep coming back as long as they’re open ❤️“

“I’ve been coming here for about 17 years. I was introduced to this family friendly establishment when I begin working in the 20018 zip-code.

(Sorry to took to late to review but this review is from a visit on 9/13/2024)

I always order the #8 (Cooked Ham & Turkey w/ provolone cheese) everything with extra hot peppers (which aren’t hot at all more pickled), and oil and vinegar.

Pros:
Opens at 9am
Great subs
Family friendly environment
Cost efficient meal

Cons:
Cash only
No pickles ?
Establishment is behind a bus zone (parking sucks)

Here’s a tip, go online and google the establishment, then search through the images to see the menu, then call your order in.

This place can get busy at times.“

“A concept created during the pandemic, I’m so glad it’s back inside Shilling Canning Company. Available inside and to go, there are six sandwiches on the menu and a weekend breakfast burrito. Every part of the sandwich is created in house except for raising the animals for the meat.Trying every sandwich at their launch party, every single one was delicious, especially with the housemade buns. However, my favorite was the “Chivito” with beef, ham, bacon, egg, and more. The “Ampburger” tastes like a gourmet Big Mac and it’s everything.Their wedge fries are crispy and nice. The homemade chocolate chip cookies are chocolate heavy and always warm. So good!They also sell Mexican Coca-Cola and Sprite in glass bottles.Service is always excellent and street or a paid parking lot are nearby.“

“Great food and service! Always outstanding!“

“LOVE THIS PLACE! Very chill place to setup and work on your laptop. The coffee drinks and foods are fantastic, they have great hot and cold sandwich options. My personal favorite is the Kimchi Burrito, and the new Pork Katsu burger is great too! Highly recommend Prego “

“My teen and I ate here at the outside tables each morning when my family visited DC. I recommend the caprese sandwich. It's made to order (not premade as another reviewer claimed) and delicious. The mango smoothie is also top-notch. The staff is nice.“

“hands down nice subs my second best deli sub shop #1 is subbs by Carl's both are nice and black own“

“We love the food ?“

“I frequent this place occasionally for the wonderful breakfast they have. From their omelette platters to their quesadillas. The service is quick and the staff are friendly. It's great for a pitstop before you need to kick off your day at work.“

“Ordered Taylor Gourmet on Uber Eats. It came up as a black owned business near me so of course I wanted to check it out to support. And the food was great! I ordered the California Avenue sandwich. I should have gotten a regular size but I got a large and it is just that. A Large 😂 I also tried the cracked spuds and they were ok. Would def eat here again ! Thanks for the freshness“

“My sandwich was prepared quickly, the staff were nice, and while it’s not a Taj Mahal inside, what did you expect for a Potbelly’s? My experience was exactly what I expected, and the price was good, too—$10.70 (including tax) for the classic size Italian. Can’t touch that price for a meal at any restaurant in the area.“

“Great organic food, reasonably priced and delicious 😋“

“Pot Belly delivers perfection in every bite! Their sandwiches are generously filled and perfectly toasted. The soups are a comforting bonus, especially on chilly days. Great service, clean space, and the ultimate sandwich experience. Don’t miss their oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!“

“Right next to my office so I visit almost every time I am in. The staff is exceptional, always super friendly. Good people, super fast service. Love them! I choose pret because they have organic coffee and grass fed milk.

Dietary restrictions: They always have gluten free options, which I appreciate!“

“We got the bacon egg cheese croissant sandwiches. They are fresh & delicious. John drank coffee and said it was really good. I drank bottled water. I would eat here again.“

“I was in town for a conference and came here every day for breakfast and coffee. The breakfast burritos are really tasty and have a good mix of veggies, potatoes, eggs and meat. I didn't once have a bad latte when I went. By the end of the week, the person at the checkout recognized us and our order and knew how to ring us up immediately. Great service. I highly recommend this place for anyone to visit when in the area.“

“Roy's is a neighborhood staple and Steve, the owner is great. The steak and cheese comes with a lot of toppings I wouldn't expect, but trust me, it works. If it wasn't for the very necessary bullet proof glass, I'd bump this place up to a 5-star rating.“

“Great sandwiches! Today I enjoyed the grilled chicken burrito. It was outstanding! Nice and fresh! The beef and chicken cheesesteaks are also delicious!“

“I really liked coming here to grab a bite to eat friendly staff and straight to the point really good service! And the seating area is great and inside is nice and clean really fresh fruit too! I love the Nice walk there as well! And really affordable for like a half a sub it was like 7.65 and that is pretty good to me for all the food you get on your sandwich ??

Vegetarian options: ALOT of vegetables and fruit options and vitamin water you can make a vegetable sandwich with a lot of stuff on top“

“First time at Jetties today at the recommendation of some colleagues. Great sandwich, very substantial portions and toppings, prices are on the higher end, (to be expected for the area).
Definitely curious to come back and try some of the other menu items!“

“Young lady that dressed my sandwich was so nice so helpful and was very patient with me when I didn't know what to put on my sandwich please tell her I said thank you so much from ms Kimberly.“

“Family loved the food! A must stop in downtown D.C.“

“One of the best options at Washington Union Station food fair. Service is fast and the food is full of flavor. They take special care of the presentation of the food and the freshness of the ingredients. You can tell from the first bite. The food fair's atmosphere is good.One of the best options at the Washington D.C. Union Station food fair. The service is very fast and the food is full of flavor.

“My organization orders catering from this Devon and Blakely all the time in part because the food is better than Panera, but mostly because of the service. Just today we realized we had put in the wrong day for delivery for a 25 person lunch. I called and spoke to the manager and within 30 minutes the full delivery showed up and saved the day. 10/10.“

“I love this place!! Food is homemade, authentic and delicious. A small Mom & Pop business that welcomes everyone with smiles. Help support them in the community by coming by and trying it for yourself

Parking: Parking in front, side and street“

“I visited this place awhile ago and there is something very special about this place. i had catfish with fries and it was very fresh and not greasy at all. I had a brief conversation with owner and i was told they used very high level oil to fry the food. They definitely care about the quality of the food more than anything. I will definitely visit this place again.“

“The veggie patty sandwiches are always at this location and it always makes my sandwich more filling. I love the topping selection they have and it was the Safeway I grew up with in my old neighborhood, I will always order from this location.

Vegetarian options: The veggie patty is a game changer for vegetarians such as myself. I noticed a large difference in how much faster I got hungrier eating a sandwich without the veggie patty compared to when it was present. Plus it’s freaking delicious“

“Only gd plans to stop for a small vanilla milkshake, but ended up purchasing a sandwich too. Love the A Wreck, but what I love most is how they run it through an oven, slightly toasting your bread and meats together. I swear, that’s good eating there. 👍🏽“

“Great sandwiches! Today I enjoyed the grilled chicken burrito. It was outstanding! Nice and fresh! The beef and chicken cheesesteaks are also delicious!“

“Love this place. Nice selection of beer, wine and snacks. Associates are always friendly and helpful. I switched from leather to an electronic wallet all at once and their cashiers basically showed me how it worked. ? Thanks for everything, guys!“

“food was great! i had a soup and a sandwich“

“Overprice but it’s downtown DC what do you expect? Ignore all the reviews about bad attitudes. Everyone here has been nice to me and I’ve been coming for a year. Just some Boujee moody people coming in through that door. Stay blessed Pret !“

“Kennedy served us the best coffee we've had in DC, and the pastries were fabulous. Will definitely be back!“

“This Subway is a reliable spot for quick, customizable meals. With fresh ingredients, plenty of options, and affordable deals, it’s great for satisfying cravings on the go. While service can vary during busy times, it’s a solid choice for a tasty, casual bite. - “

“The barista with the green shirt was so hot 😍“

“I've been to the sandwich shop in various locations around DC. No matter what the location; the service and the food has been very good“

“I need to go here more often. Super simple food counter with great breakfast sandwiches, lunch options coffee, etc. I stopped by the other day bc I went to Slipstream for coffee but their food choices were too foo-foo. I just wanted a regular bacon, egg, and cheese. Looked across the street, saw Atrium Cafe and immediately walked over. Went back the next day for a cheese steak. It was really good but a little small.“

“Found this on another site (Yelp) and bookmarked it, turned out to be in the food park area of the Plaza where I was meeting for business. The line moves fast at lunch time, orders are taken while in line, be sure to know the menu board before getting in line. Sandwich was flavorful, average size serving, a larger eater might want to order sides or a larger sandwich.“
