50 Best Sandwich Shops near Wheaton

“I have ordered year round from Kenny's for over 15 years now and have never been disappointed. They are consistently open, even during inclement weather. Their menu is jam-packed with endless options and the portions are substantial. Soups and appetizers are hot like they should be, condiments are always provided, and service is fast. When my food is busting out of the container, I know I've gotten my money's worth. I often have leftovers. Not sure why their rating isn't higher. Some might want to give them a second chance.“

“Excelente taste, and 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 ❤️“

“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 !!“

“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!!“

“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.“

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

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

“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! 👏🔥“

“Great food and service! Always outstanding!“

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

“Always on point. Great food“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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 small shop, coffee is good it tasted well and didn’t hurt my stomach after drinking. Only thing was there was a weird smell in the shop like a bathroom but nothing too heavy. Other than this it was a sweet place and sweet lady was friendly“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“This is an excellent subway shop, everything is clean and looking fresh ( literally, the veggies looked fresh). Everything was great, with my only critique being the sub could have been loaded up a bit more with veggies and meat… a little too much bread : meat and veggie ratio. Not enough of a critique to give less than 5 stars. 5 starts it is.“

“Really good food! I just moved to the area and I was looking for some good local food spots to check out, came across Wow Deli and decided to give them a shot. I came in and ordered the Washington Cheesesteak and man was it good! Plenty more of meat and veggies, large portion of fries, and not overly priced! I will definitely be back soon!“

“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.“

“Had Charley for lunch about 2 days ago, and was satisfied with the customer service between different clients and the rush hour they were going through. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak, with fries and a coke and a small Chicken buffalo sandwich. I absolutely recommend the Philly it’s a classic can’t go wrong, the fries are crunchy, not soggy or floppy and is decent size 10/10. The chicken buffalo felt like it needed more flavor from the chicken, most was from the sauce it was still delicious and still ate it, 7.8/10. Overall even busy I was given good service and got my food in a nice manner and it was tasty. 🙌“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Great sandwich at Charlie's. don't compare to Philly and you'll be satisfied. The staff wanted to work there and do a good job and they did. The first hot bite hit the spot but as it cools the seasonings are kind of strong. However, I liked the food and it's a great addition to Union Station.“

“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.“

“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“

“I am on a plane flying to DC right now for a visit. Gonna grab a sammy at Jetties while I'm in town - such a treat!

I built my friend's house a few blocks away in 2008 and fell in love with Jetties' sandwiches!“

“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.“

“Great organic food, reasonably priced and delicious 😋“

“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.“

“Pauline took care of me today and she was very kind. Tended to me immediately and garnered my sub very beautifully. Thank you subway and thank you Pauline. Additionally I had to catch a shuttle 10 minutes prior and was able to make it due to pauline’s care. 😁“

“This Subway's is my go-to for dinner after a run workout or daily run. The manager is incredibly friendly and personable and the lady who staffs this Subway's always gets my order right. I always come here for a whole wheat footlong with veggie patties, all the veggies, and Sweet Onion sauce! My order is always made correctly, and I can always expect to enjoy a filling, delicious meal at an inexpensive price when I visit here. 10/10 would recommend!“

“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.“
