Sandwich Shops near Chevy Chase

“I love to come here with my friends after school. The pizza melts are almost always good, and usually great. The seats in the back have a nice atmosphere, and the employees are chill. I don’t know why this potbelly has worse reviews than the others in our area, because every time i get a pizza melts from a different potbelly it has less stuff and is just worse. The friendship heights potbelly will always have a spot in my heart.

Parking: Very small free lot: Otherwise find street parking or use the paid underground lot.“

“Best Italian subs in the DMV!!!“

“I ordered a sandwich with extra instructions, I came to pick it up seeing my order ready and every instructed-to-add vegetable is added, no single mistake, I am very happy with this order. And the female employee who work there that day is very professional. I can see what people give this place such a high rating!!“

“I am obsessed with this place great food 😋 my favorite place me and my boo“

“The cookies are so fresh and full of flavor. Also am a big fan of the coffee.“

“We got the bacon egg cheese croissant sandwiches. They are fresh & delicious. John drank coffee and said it was really good. I drank bottled water. I would eat here again.“

“Great service fresh ingredients and thanks for the free cookie made my morning and coffee better.“

“Since moving to Arlington, Earl’s Sandwiches has become our go-to, absolute favorite location for quality sandwiches! Everything’s fresh, delicious…and made with quality ingredients. Finally, a sandwich shop where you don’t have to settle for processed deli turkey; at Earl’s they roast their own daily, and we love the delicious chunks of meat. It’s like a homemade Thanksgiving dinner, but available in 15 minutes! Love the monthly specials.“

“Honestly, if you are a chicken salad lover, this is the place to go. The chicken salad is so good and it comes in so many different varieties from Sweet to spicy to savory to salty to pickle. It’s amazing! The older servers Didn’t really seem engaged or pay attention to me when I was coming up to the front to order but honestly it doesn’t take away from the atmosphere, which is very cozy and southern brunch kitchen style. This is absolutely a go to place for me from now on“

“IF YOU LIVE WITHIN 500 MILES OF THIS PLACE, STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND GET YOURSELF A CHICKEN CHESAPEAKE SANDWICH IMMEDIATELY! #wow #11+“

“Whole wheat bun is great. Veggie sub is packed with cheese and the toppings are great. If you're sensitive about cheese sharing space with meat in the slicer, honestly just ask them to wipe down the slicer before cutting your cheese. They offered the first time we were there and we have asked them a dozen times since and they are always cool about it. Top notch place. We're big fans.“

“Huge Thank You to Bon Fresco - WLMS PTSA ordered 100 lunches for our staff this past Friday. The owner bent over backwards to accommodate us, the lunches were ready on time and delicious. If you haven’t tried it, check it out - my favorite is the London Broil sandwich. Delicious. #shoplocalhoco“

“Always on point. Great food“

“When I walk into a sandwich shop, I’m not looking for poetry. I’m looking for a system that works.

At Jersey Mike’s in Calverton, Maryland, what you see is a business that understands the fundamentals: speed, consistency, and respect for the customer. The place is clean, the line moves with purpose, and the staff behind the counter know exactly what they’re doing. That’s not an accident — that’s discipline.

The sandwich line operates like a well-oiled machine. Bread sliced, meat layered, cheese placed with precision. Then comes what they call “Mike’s Way” — onions, lettuce, tomatoes, vinegar, oil, and spices applied with the confidence of a process refined through repetition. It’s assembly, yes — but it’s craftsmanship within a system. I’ve always believed that excellence is built from repeatable habits, and you can see that philosophy in action here.

Now let’s talk about the product. The sub itself is hearty and honest. The bread has structure — important in a sandwich business — and the ingredients taste fresh and well-kept. Nothing fancy, nothing pretentious. Just a solid American sandwich made quickly and correctly.

What impresses me most is the clarity of the model. Customers know what they’re getting. Employees know how to deliver it. That’s how you build trust, and trust is the backbone of any successful food operation.

If I were evaluating this place as a businessman, I’d say they’ve done something right: they’ve taken a simple idea — a submarine sandwich — and built a reliable process around it.

And in the restaurant business, reliability is everything.

You can build an empire on that.“

“Cute spot, good oatmilk cappacino, and fast food made on order. They have a lot of bread options and turkey bacon or sausage as we as the regular ones. Limited seating in winter but enough and looks like a fun patio for warmer weather. It's in a a neighborhood and good for people watching and just being a part of daily routine of DC.“

“Hidden little gem. Great service very friendly staff. Great food, fresh and was delicious. Reasonable $.“

“the women taking my order and cutting the bread was just rude, to the point I didn't want to ask any questions. Luckily another employee came from the back and finished my order. Even though that experience made me want to leave. I’m glad I stayed. The food was great and the Restaurant was very clean.“

“The subs are second to none. Fresh ingredients, overstuffed with delicious meats, fresh soft rolls and the price will make you smile !! i have been in the neighborhood for over 11 years and my first time ordering but definitely not my last. I’m telling all of my friends about Carl’s Subs on Rhode Island Ave NE DC Everyone walked away singing praises about the subs!!“

“I’d like to share my appreciation for the excellent service provided by Muhammad and Waway and also the very polite and nice one aynalem. They were anll incredibly professional, patient, and attentive throughout the entire interaction. They made sure all my concerns were addressed clearly and went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied. Their positive attitude and willingness to help truly made a difference. Thank you all for such outstanding customer service!“

“Probably the best sloppy joe I’ve ever had. I rarely leave reviews, but this place deserves it, 100%. The guys who make the magic happen inside of this establishment are always happy, and welcoming, leaving you with a memorable TASTY experience. Also, the hot dogs are out of this world. Will keep coming back as long as they’re open ❤️“

“I come here about 2-3 times a month. I’ve explored many Banh Mi shop in the area, and this is officially my top pick. When you factor in the high quality of the meat and the affordable price point, it’s hard to beat. Beyond the sandwiches, they have a great selection of grab-and-go items on display if you're looking for variety. If you’re in the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and pick up a Banh Mi—you won’t be disappointed!“

“Excellent, efficient and clean establishment. Food was ready when I walked in to pick it up at 10-15 min after I placed the order. The Tejas BBQ brisket taste was fantastic. The SriPraPhai drunken noodles with tofu was so-so. Its taste profile was more like Pad Thai than drunken noodles I have had from prior restaurants, so would not get this again. The taste wasn't bad, but not what I expected. Overall, I would still return and try this food concept chain again (similar to a food court in a mall with many restaurant options but with a small pick up window and assembly room in the back).“

“Great food and service! Always outstanding!“

“A hidden gem! We were the only ones eating in on a rainy Saturday afternoon, but several people came in for pick up orders. The Testaccio and Tartufo sandwiches and hot latte we got were excellent. It was less than 5 minutes before we had our food and coffee. Hot and flavorful, with delicious fluffy focaccia bread. Enough food to eat half the sandwich and take home the rest. Clean, comfortable low tables and other high-top seating we didn't try.“

“This family-owned market in DC is a real hidden gem! The coffee is always fresh and flavorful, and the sandwiches are out of this world. Their Italian sub is a must-try—loaded with quality ingredients and packed with flavor. Friendly vibes, quick service, and everything feels made with care. Perfect spot for a coffee break or a hearty lunch, I’ll definitely keep coming back!“

“Got here at 8am and there wasn't even a line. Quick turnover on orders and kind professional staff.

Breakfast sandwich was filling---They don't skimp on their portions.

Get a Korean iced coffee, you won't regret it.“

“The food, coffee and service was excellent as usual !“

“Nice spot.

Staff are all on top of things and run a tight ship. Place is always clean and stocked.

I’ve had many of their sandwiches and some of their soups. I’ve always been pleased. I particularly like the spicy sandwiches.

I’ve lived in one of the apartments above the shop for a few months now, and can attest to the quality being consistent over a 6 month period.“

“The good: Omar was great and he was so helpful and nice, he even went over the deals of the day. The other lady not so much, she had bad attitude, and rude come backs when she barely put cheese on the sandwich and then when I asked her which sandwich had jalapeños she asked Omar to open the sandwich because she didn’t remember. Her attitude was terrible! All she had to do was make a mark on the sandwich that was different, that was it. The only reason I take a star is because of her attitude, other than that it was good service.“

“Wow, I'm SO excited to have a great sandwich shop in Ballston!!!! The sandwiches are so freaking good, and I'm usually not big on fries or home-made chips, but I finished it all, they're both so delicious. The bread is so good too, and everything is reasonably priced. This is going to be my go-to sandwich place in the area. I can't wait to try their cocktails next!“

“Great organic food, reasonably priced and delicious 😋“

“We had breakfast there: omelette and croissants w/freshly brewed coffee! The place was very clean and the personnel was very friendly and patient. I would go back!“

“I worked in this area of K St. for about 4 months and AHRA Cafe was my GOTO!! They have a great variety of food, kind staff and a relaxing atmosphere for Business. Clean relaxing and quiet place to get some work done out of your office. Get the steak and cheese you won’t regret!“

“My experience with Alexander Dou has been enlightening. His strategies focus on careful analysis rather than rushing into trades. I appreciate the support and guidance he's provided, if you're interested in learning more, consider contacting him on Telegrm at Alexanderdou.“

“Devon & Blakely: The Dynamic Duo of Lunch

In Latin America you have Wisin and Yandel. In Vegas, Siegfried and Roy. In Gotham City, Batman and Robin. In Washington, we have Devon and Blakely.

Their soups are great. Their sandwiches are great. Their salads are something else entirely — vast, leafy monuments to abundance. Each bowl feels like it should come with a carbon offset for the sheer scale of greens involved.

Behind the glass station stands the salad maestro, a tong-wielding virtuoso who rhythmically chops, tosses, and compresses vegetables into submission. The result is a tin tub filled to the brim, a perfectly diced ecosystem of roughage that will take the average mortal 45 minutes to chew through.

It’s excessive. It’s ridiculous. It’s delicious. Devon and Blakely aren’t just making lunch — they’re performing it.“

“I recently visited this spot and had an absolutely wonderful experience from the moment I walked through the doors. If you're looking for fantastic Asian cuisine, this place definitely needs to be on your radar.

​First off, the service is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The staff made us feel right at home immediately, and one of my favorite highlights was the complimentary hot tea they provided right as we sat down. It’s such a comforting, traditional touch that really sets a relaxing tone for a great meal.

​As for the menu, the food was simply great. Everything we ordered came out piping hot, beautifully plated, and packed with incredible flavor. You can tell they really care about the quality of their ingredients and the authenticity of their dishes. The meal completely exceeded my expectations.
​One quick heads-up for anyone planning to visit specifically for the market: the attached grocery portion of the business is currently shut down. It didn't negatively impact our dining experience at all, but it’s definitely good to know if you were planning to pick up some ingredients after your meal.

​Overall, between the top-notch food, the stellar and attentive service, and the cozy atmosphere, it was a fantastic visit. I will absolutely be coming back again soon to explore more of the menu. Highly recommend!“

“I stopped by Pret A Manger in downtown D.C. for a quick breakfast, and it was exactly what I needed — fast, clean, and consistently good. The atmosphere is bright and casual, perfect for grabbing a bite before work or while exploring the city. The staff were efficient and polite, keeping the line moving even during the morning rush.

I tried a croissant and a cappuccino, both fresh and served at the right temperature. The selection of sandwiches, pastries, and juices looked appealing and well-presented. It’s a reliable spot for fresh food, good coffee, and a comfortable break in the middle of D.C.“

“Potbelly is always a great spot for a tasty and satisfying sandwich! Their bread is perfectly toasted, and the ingredients are always fresh. Whether it’s a classic Turkey & Swiss or their signature A Wreck, every bite is flavorful and delicious.

The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are friendly and efficient. It’s a great go-to for a quick, quality meal.“

“I visited this place awhile ago and there is something very special about this place. i had catfish with fries and it was very fresh and not greasy at all. I had a brief conversation with owner and i was told they used very high level oil to fry the food. They definitely care about the quality of the food more than anything. I will definitely visit this place again.“

“This place has never disappointed me over 3-4 visits at this specific location over 3 years. I’ve tried the one at I think Wheaton or something and Baltimore near Johns Hopkins and this place is always at least a 4/5 and the other locations really paled in comparison.

Comforting to see that a popular train station has reliable fast food. Fries are my favorite kind, crispy on the outside but super fluffy on the inside. Gourmet fries are also delish. Cheesesteaks (as someone who’s never been to Philly yet) seem pretty good at the price point too.“

“I just love the Vegan Sandwich.. Thank you for offering me a place to go for lunch with my friends and still feel "normal". Awesome .“

“This place has good food and sandwiches but the smallest things matter to me and therefore i’m so disappointed in when simple needs are not met, service was friendly staff was nice but i saw them training a new girl i suppose with my salad prep, and i get home after a long day excited to eat and my dressing is not there , i asked for it to be put ON the salad, there’s not even a side dressing in the bag, nothing …. now im sitting here taking slow bites of my dry dressingless salad…18$ at that“

“Great sandwiches! Today I enjoyed the grilled chicken burrito. It was outstanding! Nice and fresh! The beef and chicken cheesesteaks are also delicious!“

“I just got two sandwiches yesterday, and I never had an issue with quality and service. Sometimes, I like to order online also in advance so I can use the coupons. I think in the middle of the day is the best time to go cause I always see at least 3 people behind the counter in my opinion“

“Got a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich and a Diet Coke. It was Vet good“

“This place is my favorite restaurant to have breakfast, the customer service here What makes the store special? The Guy that answers the phone is very humble and patient. When walking inside it’s very quiet and the aroma of food smells good. 😊

You are greeted by a sweet lady you pay for the food you go ahead and sit down at the table and when you open up the food you get to see eggs scrambled with cheese the correct way, The cheese is melted on top of the eggs just what it supposed to look like Not Cheese scrambled with the eggs Like other places. The home fries are seasoned and prepared with love. They are the best tasting out of all the other places I have visited like Denny's, IHOP, Brookland Grill.

Overall, You will love it here, so please visit and enjoy Seasoned delicious hot food.“

“I would just like to take a moment to thank Chris for his patience, understanding, and professionalism when receiving my particular order requests each time I visit. When I come to this location, I know fully well that my order, as specific as it can be, will be fulfilled to perfection. Everytime I visit this location, Chris ensures my order is perfect to the letter, with absolutely confidence. I receive no greater solace knowing that the staff at this rockville pike location can provide me my request without fault and to the letter. I will continue to come to this specific location in Rockville.“

“Love this place. Nice selection of beer, wine and snacks. Associates are always friendly and helpful. I switched from leather to an electronic wallet all at once and their cashiers basically showed me how it worked. ? Thanks for everything, guys!“

“I was new to the area and just finished a job and was extremely hungry. After scrolling around I found a place that had some food I recognized. Little did I know it would be one of the best plates I’ve had EVER! I had the chicken wings with O.G. Hot Sauce. OMG!!! The crispy breading. The flavor. The tender meat. I couldn’t stop licking my fingers. The waffle fries were well seasoned and fresh. I enjoyed myself thoroughly. I also want to add that the hostess was so patient with me because I didn’t have a clue what I was going to get. Absolutely outstanding. Five stars all around.“
