Sandwich Shops near Takoma Park

“Miss Leya and the staff did a wonderful job helping my 80+ year father order his food and getting the $8 Monday special meatball sub which he chewed and devoured readily! Thanks for the amazing service and the kindness you showed to him during our visit.“

“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 have been eating at Earl's for 15+ years. Personal favorites are the Pork and Fries, Salmon BLT and Cuban Club, but all of the sandwiches and sides are excellent. New Orleans Turkey Gumbo is an underrated choice for something outside the sandwiches as well. Ingredients and staff are the best and I have never had anything but great food here.“

“Best Italian subs in the DMV!!!“

“Excellent service and wonderful ambience ! The Reuben with their in-house made corned beef is on the short list of sandwiches I consider the Best! Bravo !!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“I love a good ole Charlie's steak and cheese close to my house . The steakum is pretty well seasoned. The chicken & cheese is pretty good as well as the flavorful wings. Always hot and fresh. The strawberry lemonade it bomb ! The staff is friendly and professional. I hate the ppl hounding for money outside everytime I go but overall pretty good place.“

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

“10/10 food, 10/10 staff! Give Michael, Tobi, and JP a raise!!! 🙌🔥

We stopped by before heading out on a family road trip to Ocean City, and the service was incredibly fast, friendly, and efficient. The food was absolutely delicious! 🔥🔥

My mom accidentally dropped half of her sandwich, and without us even asking, the staff immediately offered to make her a new one. That level of kindness and customer service really stood out.

I’ll definitely be coming back. Subway just lost a loyal customer because the kindness, professionalism, and quality of service from the entire staff tonight were unmatched.

Michael, Tobi, and JP deserve some serious recognition. If they aren’t managers already, they should be running their own stores! 👏🔥“

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

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

“Great food and service! Always outstanding!“

“Always on point. Great food“

“There is NO better sandwich shop on DC. They only take cash and no one cares about that. I don't think they've chanhed their menu in the 20 years I've been eating here, and no one cares about that either. These are big, delicious, no-frills sandwiches. Worth every penny. I always go for the #1, unless I get the #2.“

“Jersey Mike's Subs on Silver Hill road, Suitland Maryland what's the best experience ever! This location thank you so much for your excellent customer service! My sub was the roast beef/provolone with lettuce , tomatoes, onions, mayonnaise, Jersey Mike's famous signature oil and on the cheese sub bread. My sub was picture perfect just like the Jersey Mike's Sub commercials and it was the best roast beef sub I've ever had in my life! I will give Jersey Mike's Sub this location more than five stars, the highest amount of stars 🤩 this is the location that I will continue to go to! I tell everyone to go to this location you will enjoy looking at your food and eating your food! Simply the Best! Thank You Always 🥰“

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

“Coming from nyc and discovered this on the go and it was just delicious. Kimchi burrito was incredible (must get) and so was the brie sandwich. Came in a second time and got the pork katsu and was also amazing. The place is nice and clean and the way the burrito was carefully wrapped in a nice foil with the logo was a great touch, like you can tell they care.“

“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!“

“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.“

“I like the service and food value of Subway. It is really nutritious delicious and healthy food. Thank you Subway.“

“We love the food ?“

“Exceptionally delicious sandwiches. I have no quibble with their size. One is hard for me to finish in a sitting. I dream about the tasty bread, but the fillings are also top tier and wonderfully balanced in terms of flavor. I go whenever I’m in DC, and never had a bad sammie yet.“

“Love the food and the service was kind and very friendly I'll be back real soon“

“Good afternoon my husband was just in there and one of the employees have her child there. The little girl is running around the store. Coughing on everyone. The line is backed up. This is unacceptable. People are walking out because the little girl is running all around the store and she's coughing all over the place. Y'all losing money“

“We stopped by for breakfast on Saturday and really enjoyed it! The food was delicious, the staff was very friendly, and the prices were great. Everything was fresh and satisfying. We’ve been here several times and always have a great experience. Definitely a place we’ll keep coming back to!“

“Ordered Taylor Gourmet on Uber Eats. It came up as a black owned business near me so of course I wanted to check it out to support. And the food was great! I ordered the California Avenue sandwich. I should have gotten a regular size but I got a large and it is just that. A Large 😂 I also tried the cracked spuds and they were ok. Would def eat here again ! Thanks for the freshness“

“Try to come here when it isn’t lunch rush if possible. Not enough workers to handle the amount of people coming in on their lunch break. Our order only half-came out so to speak, my husband got his food but I almost got someone else’s food and had to wait longer. The wait was worth it though, my chicken pesto wrap was excellent and hubby’s Korean fried chicken was good too.“

“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!“

“Best service of my LIFE! I love coming here because Brenda makes the best sandwich’s ever. She’s very kind, sweet and always asks me how I’m doing. Her service is impeccable makes it feel like we’ve been friends for years. You can tell by her service that she really cares about her customers and never lets them down, I’m extremely happy with her service and definitely will be back more times in the future.“

“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!“

“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!“

“hands down nice subs my second best deli sub shop #1 is subbs by Carl's both are nice and black own“

“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 went to Charleys Cheesesteaks this evening to get a veggie sandwich combo. The cashier, Mrs. Cynthia, was very nice, friendly, professional and took my order with EXCELLENT customer service skill sets. This store is clean and the food is so GOOD, FRESH and served HOT. I had an excellent experience tonight. Will go back on tomorrow for dinner.“

“10/10, never disappoints. The breakfast sandwiches are customizable and always filled with protein, the coffee beverages are delicious, and they freshly squeeze orange juice (literally best OJ I’ve ever had in my life). Prices are great too for the area, and the servers are lovely!! Love this spot so so much!!“

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

“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 usually visit that Subway branch with my friend after 1 AM, where the staff member behind the glass asks how they can help and quickly prepares our order. They are an incredibly efficient and hardworking employees. without any unnecessary chatter they flawlessly assemble the sandwiches and combo meals.“

“I only purchased a soda but the gentleman working was nice enough to let me use the restroom. The store was very clean ,he was very polite and the bathroom smelled decent. When I get a craving for subway this is the place I'm coming to. Its comforting knowing a place keeps things clean..helps food digest better.“

“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.“

“Best steak and cheese ever. All ways polite and never a big wait.“

“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!“

“Excellent experience at Subway in New Carrollton! The restaurant was very clean, the ingredients looked fresh, and the sandwiches were made exactly the way I wanted. The staff were friendly, patient, and provided fast service even during a busy time. I also appreciated the welcoming atmosphere and how organized everything was. It’s definitely a great spot to grab a quick, fresh, and satisfying meal. I’ll definitely be coming back again!“

“I had the Italian sandwich with all the works, and it was well worth it. The gentleman with locs was incredibly understanding and helpful, and the woman who was managing both the register and cooking was fantastic as well. She may have a quiet voice, but she definitely means business! I never got their names but both of them were very nice!
The staff were friendly, welcoming, and provided excellent service. I'll definitely be adding this spot to my list of essentials whenever I'm in the area for conferences. Highly recommended!“

“I visit this subway often for a late lunch and am served by Rahindra on a regular basis. He is always friendly and engaging, very respectful and makes sure my sandwich comes out exactly the way I want it. I have other nearby subways within walking distance, but the friendliness and consistently good experience is why I choose this location.“
