50 Best Sandwich Shops near South Boston

“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 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!“

“Exploring the old neighborhood after years away and popped into Shirley on at Saturday morning. Got the disco breakfast sandwich and couldn’t resist taking a blueberry pastry and focaccia for later. Just remarkable. Perfectly balanced. Katherine was so hospitable! Came back on Sunday and got the mozzarella salami sandwich. No misses on the menu!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Sandwich was great Service excellent“

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

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

“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!“

“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 food and even better customer service this weekend from the young lady working by herself. She consistently went over and beyond, to not only recommend but also make sure I was safe regarding my food allergies. She was amazing (very polite, and kind). Handled line after line of people by herself and did it with a welcoming smile on her face throughout it all. Komal Patel is definitely a great reflection of what 5 star customer service should look like.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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. 😍 🥒🥓🥯☀️“

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

“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!“

“Sandwich’s was so delicious 😋“

“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.“

“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!“

“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:)“

“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.“

“Ordered the Steak and Cheese sub, which transported me right back to my childhood! The flavors were incredible, perfectly seasoned, and just how I remember them. LIKE IT SUPPOSE TO BE...SO PAY NO ATTENTION TO ThE NON GEN Xer....The service was outstanding—friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Every bite was a reminder of the good old days. If you’re looking for delicious STEAK &CHEESE and a trip down memory lane, this is the place to be.CANT WAIT TO TRY THE HAM & CHEESE.“

“Simply the best! The Little Blue Bakery was the talk of the party for my daughters Graduation Party. Not only is the food cart ridiculously charming, the food, drinks, and coffee were such a hit. I loved working with Hannah and didn’t realize all her treats are HOME MADE. I was so happy to have discovered this hidden gem and to introduce @thelittlebluebakery to Metro West.“

“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.“

“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..“

“100/10 would recommend this place! The workers are great and really make sure to stuff every piece of lettuce and toppings that you get back into the sandwich. The food making station is clean and the workers make sure to switch gloves and wash the knifes between the sandwiches.“

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“Fresh all day, everyday.“

“Three bathrooms are transgender friendly!!“
