Sandwich Shops near Somerville

“Breakfast sandwich from Shirley, and often a drink and baked good too, are crucial parts of my weekend ritual. Just as important is catching up weekly with owner, Kat, to get her commentary on latest menu items and other exciting things she’s up to - ie guest spotting at neighbor restaurant Urban Hearth! I’ll go out of my way earlier/later in the week to come by if I can’t make it on my usual day. If any sandwiches catch your eye, definitely give it a shot. Truly filling a unique niche - you can get classic italian sandos from Dave’s fresh, coffee shop breakfasts from the usuals, but stop here for something new and always fun!“

“This particular store is not designed for a family "dine in" atmosphere. Which is to say get your sandwiches and get moving. Its high paced and can get crowded rather quickly. This did not affect the quality or service at all during my visit. As i watched on the employees were unbeatable and seem to smile even more as customers provided a number difficult requests and at a pretty annoying rate and speed. I was impressed by the amount of professionalism and patience displayed by the 2 working yesterday.“

“This location is getting way better than past. I see one employee in night sift. She is very nice. I live near by here & because of work I usually get late in night. I like to eat hot right away, many time I reached here around 8:45 and this nice girl let me seat in restaurant and let me eat my sub in restaurant only. Some times because of me she close 5-7 min late. Who does these thing in this real world Who ?Very few and she is one of them.On basis of my experience the staff is changed and one of the best location in this area to go and grab your sub.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“lobster rolls both hot and cold are superb“

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

“This is the very best sandwich shop in Boston.I wish they could find more help so they can go back to their regular hours.So please pass the word to anyone looking to work.The owner is great to work for,She has held on to most of her staff since COVID.I get the egg fatata on bagette with tomato and spicy olio sauce."The very best" only to go!!“

“I have been coming to this location for years and the service has always been good and the food has always been fresh and tasty. Today was no exception with my Small Sub, 20oz lemonade, and cup of soup priced under $19 still a great value. Morad and his team are holding down the ship well here and greeting every customer with praise, respect, and gratitude. The restroom was also spotless and fully stocked. The food quality and variety is very high with this company and ordering directly with them will save you fees from the delivery services.

Vegetarian options: Lots of salads and bowls that are already meatless or can be modified to not have meat. Seafood and shellfish options with the lobster rolls and tuna salads for example. Can always ask for grilled veggie sub with bbq sauce.

Dietary restrictions: They can modify any sandwich or salad or bowl to meet your specific needs. Soups are already made. Beverages are bottles/cans and chips/cookies are pre packaged but a variety of nutritional values are available not just the fatty and sugary stuff.

Parking: Plenty of free spaces surrounding restaurant for this and other businesses on the plaza. Some spaces are diagonal, some are parallel, and some are next to the curb.

Kid-friendliness: There is a kids menu you might need to ask for it but they can definitely customize anything for a child.

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp in the front and accessible parking available on the side next to the ramp. The team members are happy to help open the doors if you call them.“

“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“

“delicious...every time......every every time! the eggplant parm sub is the best in Boston, order with xtra eggplant.....I eat for 2 days....and it is even better the 2nd day !!!“

“Sandwiches were awesome. Great addition to the neighborhood. Highly recommend.“

“I'm a vegetarian so usually don't expect much from sandwiches. The owner Sam introduced their Caprese Panini to me. I didn't eat it until I arrived at home....I almost went back to get a second one right after finishing it!! It was sooo delicious. I went there again a different time but the store was closed. I went again today for the Caprese Panini. My mouth was already watering when holding it...strongly recommended!“

“Best Italian’s in all of New England“

“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“

“Small hole in the wall.
Crispy and delicious fried crispy rolls.
Excellent fresh banh mi.
Spring rolls are fresh.

Venue is insanely dirty, which makes this place the real deal. Hidden gem in Chinatown you don’t want to miss.

No seating so take it and go. It gets busy.“

“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.“

“The hospitality and welcomeness of this establishment is amazing if your looking to get a REAL AUTHENTIC SUB I would highly recommend coming here. The food is amazing I tried the meatball sub for the first time from the Parmesan to the tomato sauce and the meat itself was cooked to perfection and more importantly was freshly made. Each bite was tasteful and packed with flavor. The steak and cheese is also a 10/10 if your ever in the Lynn , Saugus area I highly recommend taking the drive here it’ll be well worth it !!“

“We had takeout for breakfast. This is a great location that is convenient to the airport and online ordering was a quick and smooth process. The breakfast sandwiches are excellent. Our only complaint is that we prefer our eggs scrambled but they only serve them over easy. We added a note in the order asking if it was possible to have them scrambled but I guess it’s not. We would go back in a heartbeat if there was the ability to have your eggs cooked the way you prefer but will sadly pass on a second visit. If you are okay with this then you will love this place!“

“The website for this place is admittedly confusing, because they only really highlight their catering options. However, don’t let that stop you from heading to Newton to check this out!

Judith’s is best for lunch. They have an extensive sandwich menu, all of which I’ve tried are delicious. You can choose from their pre-designed suggestions or make your own. They also have a delightful glass case with fresh vegetable and pasta salad options.

If you’re looking for breakfast, you can find it here but the options are much more limited. They have a few pre-made egg-based wraps and sandwiches. The coffee and tea menu is basic, they have lattes and some nicer tea selections but nothing too wild.

They have a nice cookie, chip, and wine selection here. This is right off the highway, so truthfully it’s one of my favorite places to stop when I’m heading on a trip out of Boston and looking for something to eat on the way or a place to meet people if I’m picking anyone up.

Vegetarian options: Lots of vegetarian options! You can do build your own sandwiches, so the options are limitless. They also have vegetable and pasta based salads in their cold case.

Parking: In the morning, it’s easy to find parking but in the afternoon and evening or on weekends it can be a bit tricky. There’s a paid lot diagonally across the street from them and some paid spots in front and around the corner.“

“Please Cutty's I need the Spicy Chicken sandwich special!! If I was on death row and had a choice for a last meal, that would be it. I swear I check the menu daily just hoping to see that it's on there. Every sandwich is amazing so it's no wonder why Guy from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives paid this place a visit!“

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

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

“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!“

“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“

“Fat Larry’s never disappoints.“

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

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

“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 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!“

“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 !“

“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.“

“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..“

“I ordered a few subs online and was about 8 minutes early for my order. When I arrived, even though the story was busy, they mentioned that my order would be right out, and started working on it alongside other orders. The staff was so polite in handling my order and other orders I witnessed! I love the turkey and provolone sub and regularly crave it, it was delicious, as always! The store was also incredibly clean.“

“Our business had a terrific experience with Simple Fare! We asked them a day before the event (and it was the weekend) if we could increase our order and they responded quickly to confirm they could do it. Delivery was punctual and professional. They'll be our go-to for future business catering needs.“

“I order from here regularly and the quality is always amazing! They do a wonderful job creating interesting and unique sandwiches and I’m thrilled that they also update their options. Please support this wonderful shop, it’s a welcomed addition to the neighborhood.“

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

“Authentic Southie.The way it should be.“

“Stopped by after hearing the most incredible accolades from restaurant peeps. Wonderful service, great food, delicious and fresh food. But this doesn’t begin to tell the story of being welcomed by more than one employee, seeing an open and clean kitchen and grill right there in open sight. Everything is made from @BoarsHead Deli and from #localproduce. #LowPriced #GreatFare #FriendlyEnvironment #GoNow!“
