50 Best Sandwich Shops near Swampscott

“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!“

“this place is my #1 favorite place to get food! cheese curds, pizza, chopped italian, chicken cheese stake, whatever you are craving they got something to satisfy!“

“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!“

“Love the food here I’ve never had anything I didn’t like and they are fast and all the employees are so nice“

“lobster rolls both hot and cold are superb“

“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 !!!“

“Very good customer service. EXCELLENT food friendly service with a smile.“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“Authentic Southie.The way it should be.“

“The Mickey is my favorite sandwich in town!!“

“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.“

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

“The subs at Al's are true works of art. The large sub is plenty for two. Toppings were generous and the older gentlemen behind the counter add real atmosphere. Reasonably priced at $13.50 for a large (bigger than a foot long) . Pay attention, they close early (around 3) and stop making hot subs a little before that.“

“This place gives you a lot of food for your money! We travel all over looking for a great Roast Beef and this place did not disappoint! We will definitely come back again! The staff is friendly and the food was delicious!! HIGHLY recommend!!!!“

“The pictures are misleading. There was at best two thin slivers of pastrami on our reuben. Tasted good, but for 16 dollars I was hoping for more... Update: They reached out and refunded our money for the sandwich that did not meet our expectations. Great customer service. Removing the item that we were not pleased with from the calculation (given the refund), the overall review goes from three to four stars. Thank you.“

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

“It is a pleasant place and the food is very tasty, taking care of the traditions of yesteryear in the good seasoning of Mediterranean food. At the same time, you feel transported to some magical place in Europe, with the background music that is usually heard.“

“My wife brought me home a Teriyaki Chicken sub from Charleys. I never heard of this place but my wife was out with her girlfriend. When I tell you it was one of the most delicious subs I have ever had (and I am in my 50s). It was a good sized (medium) sub with great flavor and two sliced pickles inside with lots of cheese. I definitely have to try the Cheese steak next. Kudos to this place for taking common sub sandwiches to a much higher level.“

“We just ordered yesteday from Prides Deli & Pizza. we ordered several types of sub sandwiches. These were the best we have tasted since the 1970's! Best Italian ever, most delicious meatball sub, The bread was soft but with enough perfect crust making steak bomb the one I've searched for but never found since Keyser's closed so many years ago. Best sandwiches in Beverly if not the entire Nort Shore. Thank you.“

“Okay, so the crux of this review is to thank the staff and the management at Saus for creating one of the coolest (and unexpected) “linger a while” environments in downtown. We are pedicab drivers. In the winter, when we come out, it is usually for short shifts that anchor themselves on Bruins and Celtics games. Most of our work riding pedicabs is during the in and out of the game, so the in-between is when we need to refuel and get warm. In the past we had a favorite coffee shop, but they reduced their hours during the pandemic and never returned to night hours. So winter pedicab riders had to adopt a new home for the mid-game “hiding and eating.” During the 2022-2023 winter, we adopted Saus. And we have not regretted it since! Okay, we can go on and on about the delicious fries and sauces. (Our favorite is the CHONKY-ASS CHICKEN NUGGETS and their unsung hero meal of the chicken sandwiches.) But as much as we love the poutine, we want to sing the praises of Saus for other reasons. The staff is proudly funky, fun, and casual. Not that kind of aloof, weird funky. They are GOOD at their jobs! And they have fun with each other. HUGE props to the management for encouraging this culture of “let the employees make their own vibe.” IT WORKS. The staff is friendly, chatty, and quick to remember us regulars. This kind of familiarity in such a touristy ;part of town is not just refreshing, it is heartwarming! So while we warm our butts before heading back into the cold for pedicab, Saus became one of our mid-game homes. Thanks for keeping such an awesome staff culture, and of course delicious food. And thanks for letting us linger and chatting us up. Come to Saus for the fries. Stay for the cool, casual vibe!“

“Cold cuts are sliced fresh, our sub was delicious. All the staff was very helpful and friendly. The manager was awesome“

“Awesome food! High quality! Huge portions! Consistently delicious!“

“Food is great, staff is sufficient but the place has never to this day offered nay trash cans and I have zero idea why and it smells like burnt oil all the time. Had to have them and my dad bring food as the smell was so off. Also why do I have to throw my trash in a bucket - would a barrel be too much of an investment“

“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.“

“Food is delicious every thing is great!“

“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.“

“Delicious very fresh everything goodThe guys who serve are very friendlyThanks Ronald and of course I will come back thank you guys very much the only thing I don't like is that now I can't see the food options because they have it covered the rest is very good“

“Great young high school gentleman working hard & so nice & polite to customers!“

“Came here to pick up a lunch. The chicken club was one of the best sub sandwiches I've had anywhere, I was thoroughly impressed. The employee who helped me was very friendly as well. It is in an unusual area with very little space for dining in but is perfect for picking up a meal to-go.“

“Best back to the days sub shop hope they continue to stay one of the best Lena sub shop around“

“Quick little grab before I headed out to explore downtown Boston. The baguette with mixed veg and cold cut is 100% authentic, bringing me back to the day when I used to have one of these eating and biking to school back home, lol! Recommend when you are in the neighborhood!“

“I've been visiting Subway for years whenever I'm in the mood for a quick, healthy sandwich. What I appreciate most about Subway is the ability to customize my meal exactly how I like it. From choosing the type of bread to a wide array of fresh veggies and toppings, the options are plentiful and cater to various dietary preferences and tastes.

The staff at Subway are typically friendly and efficient, quickly assembling sandwiches even during busy hours. This makes Subway a reliable option for a fast lunch or dinner. The restaurants are usually clean and have a laid-back atmosphere, which is great for a casual dining experience.

Additionally, Subway's commitment to offering fresh ingredients and creating your sandwich in front of you adds a level of transparency that I value. Whether I'm grabbing a bite on the go or sitting down to eat, Subway provides a consistent and satisfying meal every time.“

“I don't know the beautiful Hispanic girls name that works there but I had a complicated order of 5 different subs and I was saying them wrong and she was amazing she kept sane and made them amazingly and she still kept a smile and her customer service was great and on point she was great thankyou for making my day with your great service. ?“

“I’ve never left a review for a Subway before haha! But I had to say something because everyone who works there is so KIND!! I was stopping in to eat and wait for my Airbnb to open up (they had a late check in). After about an hour, the manager asked me if I was ok and if I needed anything. So sweet!! And the staff behind the counter are so nice too. Felt so welcomed there. Thanks for being my pit stop?“

“My hubby and I have been driving for hours and pulled into this place. What a pleasant surprise it had a very clean food court with 3 options for us to choose from. Even the bathrooms were clean and made me feel comfortable to use them unlike other gas station bathrooms lol“

“I really enjoyed my Roast Beef Sandwich. The meat itself was perfectly cooked and flavorful, and generously piled on. I'm not a huge fan of seeded rolls, but it was very fresh and buttery. The lettuce, tomato and horseradish were likewise very fresh.“
