50 Best Sandwich Shops near Charlestown

“First time there the food was great would recommend to anyone who is in Boston.“

“I love this place and always eat lunch here when in Boston.“

“This place rocks. The person who took my order was so nice, and the place smells great, is comfortable and clean. Our takeout for breakfast (pancakes and bacon/egg/cheese on everything bagel) was delicious and satisfying, and the bagel was great (way better than I expect for a bagel from a place that's not focused on them).

Overall, a super friendly, down-to-earth place with great food and vibes that helped me get my day off on the right foot!“

“Sandwich was great Service excellent“

“Best breakfast sandwich in town! This is where I go when I want to treat myself on a weekend. The homemade focaccia is the star of the show here and pairs really well with the bacon, eggs, and cheese, and a spicy aioli. Really just the perfect balance for an indulgent breakfast!“

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

“Haven't been to this place in years but, boy sm I glad I did. Got a steak onion and cheese sub at 8 AM, because I could order that at what would be other shops " Breakfast only" time. Nice soft roll ,steak NOT chopped to oblivious gravel like other shops. This spot IS the spot for a steak and cheese . I'm gonna go back and try all the ol standards again done right. Kudos. Can't wait to try a simple hit dog. Believe it or not, people screw that up . But according to the reviews I've seen, they're done just right. It's really nice to know that these non pretentecious simply good food places still do exist.“

“Rosie and crew will bend over backwards to serve you!“

“My family ordered latkes, knishes, matzah ball soup, and brisket for Passover. We loved every bit of it. Can’t say enough good things about the food, the cooking instructions and the service. Looking forward to eating from there again.“

“Definitely will order from here again,Meatballs are perfect and sauce is superb!“

“We visited Boston today and randomly stumbled upon this place and so happy we did, it was delicious! They had a great variety and for a somewhat healthy person I was happy to see so many options. The wrap I got was so good and they don’t skimp on portions. Also the guy working the front was really friendly!🙂“

“Wow. Incredible authentic Italian food. The owners are great guys and have a passion for Sicilian Meals.
Don’t miss this one !!!
Ciao

Returned for a Veal Parm sub for lunch. The veal is always thin and the breading is crisp.
Best veal sandwich in Saugus.
You’ll love it !!“

“Mike & Patty’s is a staple in Boston. Everyone is so welcoming and the food is to die for. Don’t try to be healthy and make sure you order the Bfast Grilled Crack with a big cup of coffee. Eat at the counter (only two seats) or take your sandwich outside and stroll the village.“

“Always clean, staff is friendly, great food“

“The coffee, chocolate chip cookies, and breakfast sandwiches are divine! Such a cute little space right next to the hospital. 😊👏🏻“

“Review: A Confusing Experience on a Rainy Day

On a rainy day, I recently visited a local place called "Toasted Flats" with high hopes for a cozy meal, a warm drink, and a bit of respite from the dreary weather. While the coffee I ordered was soothing, my experience quickly became puzzling and frustrating.

I had ordered a toasted flatbread, something I was really looking forward to. However, to my surprise, the woman serving me informed me that I wasn’t allowed to eat my flatbread. I could drink my coffee, but apparently, eating my meal was not permitted. She mentioned that the establishment had been open for eight years, which made me wonder how a place could be licensed to sell food but somehow not allow customers to eat it.

At first I thought she was joking with me, quickly realized she was not.

The whole situation left me confused, as it seemed like a bizarre, contradictory policy. How can a place sell food, but then restrict your ability to consume it? It felt like a strange contradiction.

While I can appreciate a business's need for rules and regulations and licensing, this experience left me scratching my head. I won’t be rushing back anytime soon, and it certainly didn't leave me with the warm, welcoming feeling that a rainy day meal should. Maybe next time, I'll do more research and find a place that will let me eat my food in peace, rain or shine.“

“Charissa was great! Super helpful! I placed the call close to closing time. Charissa was who took my order. She had mentioned that she will get the team to help and get the order completed. I got there and the food was ready and Charissa was very welcoming & efficient. I love my papa Gino’s !“

“What a great hole in the wall spot!! Went here on a whim and I was NOT disappointed. $7.50 is really reasonable especially in Boston for a good banh mi! Tons of customers while I ate, which is a huge good sign. Service was super fast, bread was crisp and the pickled veggies were delicious. I liked that you can customize how much of each ingredient is in your sandwich. I got the pork belly banh mi, there were some chewy bits (fat, maybe?) I picked out- regardless, overall delicious. The shrimp rolls with peanut sauce are also amazing! I do wish more bottled drink options were available, but the sandwich was my main focus for the visit. Will be coming back again for an affordable and delicious meal :)“

“Cozy. Excellent egg whites and cheese on an everything bagel. And the yolks were not wasted and added to a breakfast burriot <3 plus there was a dog biscuit for our pup - truly something for everyone
Thank you and excited to be back“

“Sandwich’s was so delicious 😋“

“Can’t talk this place up enough amazing old school authentic Italian and a very warm environment whether your looking for a nice cup of coffee or a chicken parm sangy the workers over here always do it right. Killer Sicilian pizza as well!“

“The absolute best breakfast/lunch spot in Newton!“

“So glad to see you open 6-8 pm Fresh quality ingredients. Everything I have ordered has been excellent!“

“I have been getting DiBlasis subs for over 50 years and it has been always been wonderful food and friendly service.“

“Thank you for a nice chicken parm dinner. It was very good and a nice portion. I'll be back!“

“Amazing sandwiches!! I called and in 10 minutes is was all ready!! I got the Mc Cluckin and it was delicious!! I added hot honey and it was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had!! Staff was friendly! Accepts credit cards over $5 orders. Reasonable prices as well!!“

“I was working in Boston it was early morning and I was craving a breakfast sandwich so I found Max’s Deli Cafe conveniently it was open around 6:30am. I ordered a pastrami, egg & cheese sandwich on a roll it was tasty the service was fast and accurate i will have to return for lunch but breakfast was exactly what I wanted.“

“Maeghan was a pleasure to deal with and her recommendations were perfect for our event. The food was high quality and delicious, and the staff was friendly and attentive. We were very happy with everything and plan to use Simple Fare again. Highly recommend this caterer!“

“I usually get Spinach and Poached Eggs For Breakfast. I have been a Regular Customer Since 2005. I am Big On Communication. Thank you To The Workers That I Rarely See And As Well To The Regulars I See“

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

“Great pizza and fantastic service. Taylor is super nice and made us feel welcome, being so far from home 🙂“

“First, this place is run by some of the nicest people I’ve ever met and I’m dead serious. My parents were here for my dad’s surgery and we stopped in for sandwiches that we all loved (and mom is PICKY). We ended up coming every day while dad was in the hospital and Nick and Georgia asked us how he was doing and were so kind that we are all seriously going to miss them. They have great sandwiches, smoothies, ice cream, milkshakes, pasta and salads. My favorites were the salmon sandwich and the Code 10 but everything I tried was delicious, made by a family with love.“

“Prob the best sandwich shop I've ever tasted in my life, I've been around all over the states and this is by far the best sandwich I've had ever. Definitely coming back and trying more options. Got the chicken bacon and cheese hot sub.“

“I honestly can’t recommend this place anymore. They have a frequent customer punch card which once completed grants you a free sandwich. I went and redeemed my card and purchased 2 bags of chips and a Diet Coke. When I get to work I check my account and he charged me $11.77. I assume he forgot to give me my free sandwich and go back. He then goes on to tell me that the bags of chips are $2.50 each, he charged me another $2.50 because I asked for hot peppers on my sandwich. He then says the 20oz soda is $4.25… I know he arbitrarily made up these prices on the fly as I was obviously a frequent customer and none of this matches up to my previous purchases. If you don’t want people to get a free sandwich don’t have the card.“

“Al's is an institution you simply must go to. Amazing sandwiches and portions for great prices. If you work downtown and haven't been here for lunch, you've made a terrible error.

If you're a hungry tourist looking for lunch, skip quincy market and come get a taste of Boston's authentic sandwich scene. You may even run into the Al, the national treasure himself.

Just a warning, it's potentially the most chaotic restaurant in Boston and if you are going for the first time.... good luck.“

“I called last minute due to a family death. I needed multiple food platters and D'Agostino was all too happy to help out even with such short notice. I called at 9 AM and the food was ready for pick up at 11:30. It was all delicious and nicely presented. Thank you, D'Agostino's in Winchester for coming to the rescue!“

“We visited from out of state and felt so welcomed by the staff here. The Gal was working alone but still talked with us the entire time while she flipped dough by hand and made pizzas, calzones and subs. The calzones were huge and so delicious! Our Air bnb wasn’t ready for a couple of hours so she was nice enough to let us keep our luggage behind the counter so we didn’t have to it around. We will definitely be going back!“

“Everything. Friendly staff cold beer great food.“

“Great place for lunch! The chicken ginger rice soup was delicious.“

“Just Ordered One Of The Best Italian Subs I’ve Had In A Long Time.. First Timer There But They’ll Get To Know Me, Waiting To Try Their Take-Out Dinners And Such..“

“Authentic Southie.The way it should be.“

“The Best Breakfast Sandwich (Matt Simple) and Avocado Fancy Toast in town! The quality of the food, flavor, and hommie feeling of the space makes Berkley Perks Cafe my all time favorite! Thanks Jimmy and the amazing cooks! They also have the best salmon bagel sandwich :)

Vegetarian options: The avocado fancy toast, the veggie bagel sandwich, the greek salad.“

“Best Tacos ever! I used to go for the Chicken Parm but those Tacos! Damm!“
