36 Best Sandwich Shops in Boston

“For the most it is a grab and go spot in a sweet little neighborhood that many people might not be familiar with. The food is the good version of standard fare which with the passing of each year becomes more and more a thing of the past elsewhere. There are a few seats inside.“

“Sandwich was great Service excellent“

“My first time here, and the first thing I noticed was how cute and inviting the space is! The food and drinks were sooo delicious. 😋 I had the Bom Dia breakfast sandwich, while my friend ordered the Greek breakfast sandwich. We also tried a couple of iced coffees and the gut-healing juice, everything was amazing! The staff were also very friendly. I’ll be back!“

“No frills, no fuss, neighborhood sandwich shop, reasonably priced. I got a pastrami sandwich. Very busy at noon! But they are pretty quick

Couple of days later I went back for a bowl of chili. Generous portion, hearty and filling. I wish they had corn bread!“

“Lovely spot, thoroughly enjoyed my fish & chips, the DJ was also great!“

“My family stopped in for breakfast and we all got different breakfast sandwiches. They were all delicious. I had the avacado smash I think it was called. It was the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. Very much enjoyed the staff's banter while we waited. The staff checked on us several times. 5 stars. Highly recommend!“

“If you’re in Boston and craving a seriously good sandwich, you’ve got to check out Figaro’s Sandwich Shop. Everything is fresh, piled high, and packed with flavor. The bread is perfect, the ingredients taste top quality, and the portions are more than generous. The staff is friendly and keeps things moving, even when it’s busy. Honestly, this place is wicked good. Whether you’re grabbing lunch on the go or meeting up with friends, Figaro’s never disappoints. Definitely one of my go-to spots in the city!“

“I found Rick's 11a Cafe to be a very rewarding experience. I enjoyed the triple Decker turkey club sandwich. Very generous portion of turkey. Extremely satisfied. I would definitely give this little hole in the wall five stars all day. Very personable and friendly at the counter“

“I usually order off DoorDash and typically enjoy my sandwiches. One of the times I ordered I got slightly stale bread so that wasn’t fun. But otherwise, the food is very good quality and filling. Will still order again since they’re typically on it.“

“Such a cute little place! My friend and I came here after a doctor’s appointment at BMC, and the sandwiches and coffee were amazing! The family that works there is the highlight. They are so incredibly friendly and kind. We will definitely be back!“

“I’ve loved this place since I first discovered it years ago. The food is great, the beer cheap, and the staff (Hi Marnie) awesome. Forget any bad reviews. Some people are never happy.“

“absolute 10 out of 10. the food was so so good. the best Italian sub! the warm welcome and customer service was the cherry on top. wonderful experience. highly recommend and will be going back! NH location!“

“Authentic Southie.The way it should be.“

“Great spot for Ban Mi! The flavors and ingredients are authentic. The #1 special is the best option IMO - you don’t get meats like that anywhere else! Only feedback is that my sandwich was a little dry - it could have been a little better with more pate or mayo to increase the creaminess.“

“If I could give this place more than 5 stars I would. We went to the Boston tea Party museum and wanted a quick place for lunch. We had 6 of us and went around 2:30 pm on a Monday. It was not too busy. I got the South St. Cafe special and it was amazing!!! It brought me back to Paris. Every ingredient was so fresh. The workers were very nice and give good recs! We will definitely be back if we come back to Boston 🙌“

“Great spot to pick up some charcuterie. Not super fancy but that’s a good thing. Great quality ingredients. Let the snobs eat elsewhere.“

“walk-up windows my favorite. 😍 🥒🥓🥯☀️“

“Fresh all day, everyday.“

“I'm not exaggerating when I say that I had the best BLT that I think I have ever had here! Everything about it was perfect - the sourdough, the crispy bacon, the avocado, it was just perfect. The vibe is very chill and welcoming - a very nice change from so many of the lunch spots in the South End where you have to wait for a table and then when you sit down you are practically on the lap of the people next to you. I also felt like the value was just right. I am putting Berkeley Perk on my rotation from now on. I can see why people love it so much.“

“We only ate breakfast here, but it was great! We were staying at the Hilton and hit up Max’s every morning! Friendly staff, great food, and the price was right:)“

“Delicious!! I got the chicken katsu sandwich and I was blown away. Moist chicken, flakey crust, and sweet bread. Super quick service. If I could fault them for anything, it’s that seating is a little awkward. But definitely will be recommending this place to friends!“

“Wow! I ordered a few things from The Real Deal in JP Yesterday. EVERYTHING I ordered was Absolutely Delicious! The Patty Melt was one of the best things I have ever tasted! The ”Godfather” I took for lunch today at work. Delicious! The combo of flavors was just perfect. They certainly know how to cook at this place! Wow! The Real Deal will be my new go-to place for take out!“

“My final breakfast before leaving Boston. Just walking around the Pier and noticed this nice little cafe. We did not regret it--the croissants and breakfast burritos are hot and fresh And it tastes so different from what you are used to. Great family owned place!“

“Seven breakfast all day got the bomb steak and cheese. Their cheeseburger sub is ridiculously good. Cheeseburger basket is off the chain. French fries are crazy good if you’re looking for a fast spot to get a bite to eat Mario’s is the place to go just Opened up“

“Couldn't find the price of the iced coffee - so I'm posting it for you here -$5.50

Coffee is good, it's what I expected- they don't have a great way of mixing it so some of the condensed milk is stuck at the bottom of the cup.

No place to sit, it's take out only.“

“Staff was friendly, seemed like everyone got along with each other making for a nice atmosphere. Seating is what you'd expect at a sandwich shop, couple of high tops and low tops.

Got the Jersey Mikes Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. The bread was fresh, the meat was cooked fresh and cooked perfectly. It was so delicious. The onions, peppers, and cheese go well with the steak. Barely ate the entire thing it was huge and I was hungry after walking all day.

Great go to if you're in the area.“

“Anything except a 5 star is a lie, it’s just their competitors down voting them. Hands down best food and friendliest staff, in Boston by a mile!! Wide range of delicious food and the best prices. Anie and his staff are the kindest and Scola elevates the Seaport area significantly! You cannot go wrong, regardless of what you chose on their menu or daily specials.“

“Visiting from Ct and stopped in for a quick sandwich. Got the Italian and the Thanksgiving Day. Both were delicious, the owner was so nice and best of all-we got 2 sandwiches, a bag of chips and 4 drinks/ and it came out to $38. Cheapest meal in Boston. And delicious on top of it.“

“I’ll start with the people; This crew is fantastic top to bottom. They’re clean, thorough, and aware of allergy and cross contamination protocols. And so kind!
As for the food; HOLY MOLY SO GOOD. Pastrami often carries a local lore. Every region claiming to be the best at what they do. Well Beantown Pastrami has proven time and time again they are, in fact, the best at what they do! Consistent, melt-in-your-mouth pastrami with the perfect blend of ingredients in every sandwich. Best lunch around!“

“Sunday , we came here. The line move along with everyone social distancing. I got the honey bun swirl and pineapple Coconut. Both were soft and fluffy. Pineapple coconut tasted like pina colada. The honey bun swirl was way to sweet for me . It was about $3.50 a donut. Worth a try“

“The team at this Subway is amazing and it’s easily my favorite location. What stands out most to me is their attention to detail and genuine kindness. Every time I walk in, I’m greeted warmly, and they even remember my order, which makes the experience feel so personal. It’s the little things like that that keep me coming back. Great service, great people, and always a great experience.“

“todo los productos helaborado en la esquina 624 son ecelentes sus esquisiti“

“This place is excellent! How lucky am I to work so close to this shipping container. The bread is always so fresh and the sandwiches are scooby doo and shaggy sized large. I really wish they would come up with a rewards or point system for employees at the design center who come here almost daily. It’s for sure burning a hole in my pocket and I know that’s 100% my problem but a free sandwich after say maybe 10 purchased sandwiches would make a lot of sense in my opinion.“

“The words Good Food and Airport are generally an oxymoron. You can have airport and you can food. But, good airport food is tough to find. The Potbelly Sandwich Shop in Terminal C, at Logan, is an exception. They make excellent sandwiches, a very good Mac & Cheese and nice looking salads ... plus a soup that I can't attest to because I didn't try it. The key is their production technique: 1) A courteous, patient short order cook directly takes your order for the sandwich or your choice. There's no fancy electronics here. You tell him the sandwich or combination you want and he lays out the fixings on an fresh hero roll. 2) The sandwich is placed on a conveyor that takes it through an oven that toasts the bread and heats the meat. 3) You tell a second cook, after the oven, what cold condiments you'd (like lettuce, tomato & mayo) on the sandwich and wraps it. Potbelly has combos that are interesting, too. One is a Choose Two for just over $11. You get a half sandwich (really enough considering their regular sandwich is about 12" long) and then a choice of either their Chicken Pot Pie Soup or Mac & Cheese. For an airport this is a real deal. They provide well designed bags to take your meal onto the plane. What was interesting to me was that everything was thought through at 100%. The Mac & Cheese I had as a side must have been super hot when it was placed in the small container I took on board with me. An hour and a half after I ordered my sandwich & side the Mac & Cheese was still warm as I ate it on my plane. I highly recommend Potbelly (unless you're seriously on a diet.) The have full sized portions, great taste and a very reasonable price.“

“Awesome service. We were there Saturday, 3 sandwiches & a chicken Caesar salad. The lady taking orders was very cheerful and pleasant. The cook was quick and did a good job on our order. The Korean bbq was so good I finished it before leaving the parking lot and then ate some of my partners steak bomb and a little of my daughters salad. I wasn't hungry when we got there but the food smelled so good. Those two ladies work very well together and we enjoyed our short stop there. I would reccommend this location to all my friends if service is like that all the time. For a quick solution to lunch/dinner this was a very good choice for my picky family.“
