50 Best Sandwich Shops near Charlestown

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

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

“A very popular place for sandwiches and other takeaway treats.

The savory breakfast items are especially popular. I personally think it’s good not great (a little too greasy), but their generous bacon-oriented offerings are especially popular.

Weekdays and weekends expect a little crowd and/or line of folks waiting to place or pickup their orders.“

“Genuinely the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had and up there with some of my all time favorite things I’ve ever eaten. It’s very clear the owner puts so much effort, love, and care into making really delicious and hearty food.

Can’t recommend enough!

It is important to note that it’s take out only, but you’re right in Davis so the location could not be more perfect for sitting in the shade to enjoy your treats :)“

“Perfect little sub shop in Backbay. We opted for the Italian Sub to go. The atmosphere was awesome with a lot of locals getting what seemed to be a regular daily lunch meal. The staff and customers seemed to know each other and a sense of community was ever so prevalent. The food itself was outstanding, even after a 5 hour train ride it traveled with us to ur next stop. Highly recommend this place. Truly a diamond in the rough.“

“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!“

“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.“

“This is really good place for dining in, hygiene is on top notch level as well as Sub is also tasty Nd delicious. I love the sub, this is only subway where I want to come most of my day and enjoy my meal. The people are also so nice and friendly. Worth it to come and visit here.“

“Sandwich was great Service excellent“

“Had the wild mushroom pizza. Absolutely delicious Fries were also delicious But the chocolate cake and vegan vanilla ice cream cream was to die for! Highly recommend“

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

“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!“

“I’ve been coming here my entire life 25 years old, but I had the best experience so far as in this week the pretty woman managers has always had their neck out for me and then Nick the shift lead really helped me out with a coupon despite not being valid or something like that, but since I came in Twice earlier that week. I got the coupon at New England fan Fest in Swansea mass from D’Angelo’s customer service rep. They were able to give me a 20% discount not the full coupon and Elijah did whatever it took to help me out awesome staff. Also random but back in 2008 there was a blonde, white haired gentleman named Dick, who was the manager. He was pretty awesome. He would give us a tour of the place.“

“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“

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

““ Masterpieces in the form of Sandwiches “ These people @ Michael’s Deli don’t make sandwiches they make masterpieces. When my immigrant parents said “ Study Hard” they meant so I can live in a neighborhood that serves sandwiches like those found at Michael’s Deli. Even if you don’t live close take the train , fly , drive or walk . These sandwiches are phenomenal.“

“Best Italian’s in all of New England“

“Omg that Chickanella sandwich was the best thing I’ve had! The cutlet,the sauce the bacon delish every bite!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Have been seeing this place for a bit on my way to flour bakery. Today I decided to try it. I walked in met Nico (nice and helpful). Because it was a new place and they had so many offerings I asked Nico what he would recommend. Nico asked me about allergies and if there was anything I wouldn’t eat. I responded no and he then recommended the California a (chicken, bacon, tomato, lettuce and mayo). My sandwich was great and I will return to try something new Great service, clean and great prices! I ended up getting some ice cream as well delicious! See you soon Nico! Nice lil spot in the south end directly across from flour.“

“The sub was amazing one of the best I’ve had in years and I’m from New York you would think we in Philly“

“Stopped in to Jimmy’s Market today and the advertising I’ve seen on how good their food is was definitely accurate. I ordered a Brennan which was chicken fingers, American cheese, delicious bacon, topped with a nice honey mustard. Definitely very tasty. My buddy ordered a steak and cheese with mushroom, pepper and onion. It looked amazing and he said it was delicious. They were busy celebrating 50 years in business and there is no wonder why they’ve been so successful for so long. We definitely recommend stopping by!“

“I had a great experience and was genuinely impressed from start to finish. The quality exceeded my expectations, and everything was handled with professionalism and attention to detail. What stood out most was how smooth and enjoyable the whole process felt—nothing seemed rushed or overlooked.
The staff/customer support was friendly, helpful, and quick to respond, which made a big difference. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into making sure customers are satisfied.
I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for something reliable and high-quality. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“Because the majority of their food, dressings, sauces, etc are made in-house and taste incredible. You pay a little more for some of their items but it is definitely worth every penny. And the portion sizes are great too. Their menu takes u from soups, wraps, cold sandwiches, hot sandwiches, salads and hot dishes. The staff are extremely helpful in tweaking an item to fit your needs. James Beard award I’m sure will be coming soon.“

“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.“

“Sandwich’s was so delicious 😋“

“Today was my first visit here. Friendly, attentive staff and quick wait time. The sub portion was huge, with delicious and quality ingredients. I will be back!“

“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!“

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

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

“The store was the absolute amazing with the best customer service“

“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“

“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:)“

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

“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..“

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

“Everything. Friendly staff cold beer great food.“

“I did not expect to find such a hidden gem. The classic tuna sandwich was perfection. Great coffee. Super friendly service. Will definitely be back to try one of their other sandwiches as their menu is huge. They also have breakfast options“

“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.“

“Food is excellent and delicious, I order chicken parmesan sandwich large one and it was big and perfect for price. Low prices, near bus station, best for eating something when you arrive in Boston. Im student J1 and my recommendation is to try this place.

Hrana odlična, sve super, ogromni sendviči a cena jeftina, sve preporuke!!“

“Im not sure if this is the same ADK shop in roxbury by Mt Pleasant St, but if it is i went there today on a whim. I was hungry after an 11 hour work day. Doing laundry next door and decided to stop by.
I asked the gentleman at the counter if they did Tripleta sandwiches as they weren't on the menu. He didnt hesitate to say yes and in 10 minutes chuffed me up the BEST SANDWICH I have ever eaten in my life. The meat was tender and rich, the pepper jack cheese had the perfect kick, the red onions and mayo perfectly went with the sandwich. I had to go back just to let the only guy working he did amazing. Im just your average white guy who was more than impressed by this sandwich. I highly reccomend.“

“Some restaurants simply serve food; others create an experience that keeps you coming back. This Subway does exactly that.

I visited on Customer Appreciation Day, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Although this location operates 24 hours a day, it never sacrifices the qualities that matter most. The ingredients are consistently fresh, every sandwich is crafted with care, and the attention to detail is evident in every bite.

Equally impressive is the team behind the counter. Their professionalism, efficiency, and genuine kindness transform what could be an ordinary meal into an outstanding customer experience. It’s clear they take pride not only in the food they prepare but also in the way they treat every guest.

What makes this location even more remarkable is the value it offers. It’s increasingly rare to find a restaurant that combines exceptional quality, outstanding service, and reasonable prices so consistently. This Subway achieves all three with ease.

In every respect, this location exemplifies what great customer service should look like. It has set a standard that few restaurants—Subway or otherwise—can match.“

“Authentic Southie.The way it should be.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Meltwich was amazing! The food came out fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. Everything tasted great, the portions were solid, and the service was quick and friendly. Definitely one of those places you’ll want to come back to. Highly recommend if you’re looking for some seriously good comfort food!“
