Part of the experience is watching her make sandwiches while you wait for your turn. I love the owner’s patience. The food is fresh.

As of August 2024, the sandwiches are $3.50/$2.50 and suuuper thick with meat. Very tasty and to the point; sandwiches could use a toasting but are otherwise solid.
Delicious sandwich

The BEST sandwich spot around!! ? Family Owned/operated, Kind Prices, Friendly Service, GREAT Food n Dessert! Been going here for 30-some years ever since before I can remember ❤ WE LOVE YOU, DUCHESS!
Vegetarian options: They'll make an extra cheese sammy (no meat) with extra let/tomato if you ask nicely ? SO GOOD!
Just as everyone else has said, good sandwiches, great price, and watching the owner work is worth the experience. I got there at 1230 and there were 2 people in line. I guess I got lucky because I have seen the line come outside before.

Ginormous sandwiches, nothing fancy, limited selection of lunch meats, very fresh and inexpensive. Only negative is that the only worker is the owner, so if you're in a hurry, this is not the place for you. Also, it's cash only. One day I'll try the hand-made milkshakes. Take out only.

Undoubtedly one of Ellicott City’s treasures. Where can you get a sammie stacked with meat, cheese and veggies for under $5? Slow service? Are you kidding me? My Pop always said good things come to those who wait, and the Duchess is exactly that. I can’t believe I didn’t stop in before, I will be back!

A simple store that serves affordable sandwiches, chips and drinks! It is cash only and the woman takes her time making the sandwiches. She reminds me of when my mom or grandma would make me sandwiches as a kid. A wonderful small shop to get lunch if you're not in a rush!

Very good sandwiches at very low cost. Place is clean but no inside seating, have to eat in the car. Good milkshakes.

It's a very old sandwich shop, the prices are very cheap and the German grandmother is very friendly.Also, the smoothies you make yourself are savory, smooth, and have a taste that makes you want to eat them again and again.
