11 Best Sandwich Shops in West Des Moines

“I was in Iowa for a trip and tried McAlister's as it was near my hotel. The staff there are extremely nice and helped me get the best from the menu. I ordered the grilled chicken salad which was huge including an unsweet iced tea. I enjoyed the salad. I will come again to try their sandwiches next“

“Love their bread and sandwich dressings but then there’s the rich soups and cookies. Never disappointed 🤤🥪“

“Chicken California the best!“

“There was a sign for where you could order your meals but it wasn’t very visible so we had gotten in line for adding the ingredients and making the sandwiches (which we thought was the start of the line) but then had to go back to the front to order. Very crowded don’t recommend going during the weekend especially lunch hours. Their internet was down so they could only do charges up to 25 dollars one at a time. The kimchi Philly was delicious. The associate who made our sandwiches and took payment was helpful and efficient“

“The subs are out of this world! I like my going to good causes.“

“Wanted to wait until I visited this new location at least four times before giving an honest review. Well, after four visits are not completed, I will say that the staff and owner of this place are doing things the right way! I used to be a subway and Jimmy Johns customer, but after visiting this location multiple times, I am now a Jersey Mike's customer. The owner is really outgoing and easy to talk to, making things more relaxing once the order is being processed. The staff that prepares the food are friendly also, and they aim to please as much as possible (within reason). The sandwiches are built with care, not sloppily put together like other establishments I have visited. The facility is clean, and safety making the sandwiches is always practiced. They are also very efficient getting the order processed in a timely manner. For the near future, this will be my "To-go" place for fast food. Thank you!“

“Kevin was fantastic tonight but he was the only staff who was working. I am not sure what happened but a staff member should never be alone especially during a rush. Kevin was quick paced and kind as he got everyones orders made. Jimmy Johns this is unacceptable. Other locations should jump in to help and send team members as customers were waiting over 30 minutes for their orders. The low stars are not due to Kevin as he was great. They are due to leaving a staff member alone without proper help.“

“Out of all the Subways in West Des Moines, Urbandale, and Clive this one is easily one of the best. Don't come here often since its out of the way but when I do come here it makes it's case easily. Also yes its 12-18 dollars for a footlong. You're a grown man you better pay ✌🫩“

“The sun is setting, the drive is short and you want a sandwich that is easy to navigate as you complete your end of the day activities then stop in at Jimmy John’s on 8th in West Des Moines. The staff have the professional looks, clean environment and are customer forward to prepare your sandwich with attention to detail. The toasted Chicken Ranch Sandwich is totally delicious. Grab it and go!“

“I went here expecting the usual Subway experience which isn't bad, but instead I got one of the best staff members I have seen in any fast food restaurant. Danny, my sandwich artist, was very personable with the prior customer whom was there when I walked in and with myself when I ordered. He masterfully found balance between striking personal conversation and making the sandwich as the customer ordered. His sandwich making skills were also great and the sandwich looked visually very good. Ultimately I give props to Danny and wrote this because of how excellent his handling was of the customer and food creation. Wish best of luck.“
