23 Best Sandwich Shops in Grand Rapids

“It is always a joy to visit Boardwalk subs on plainfield ave in Grand Rapids, MI the staff on duty especially: Tammy, Matt, Marissa, and Natashia all know us by name and what kind of sub we like. They are so friendly and happy to see us each time we visit. They work so well as a team each helping each other out. The subs are extraordinary good, only one of the reasons we keep going back. I will continue going to boardwalk subs always.“

“Best place for subs ! Fresh sliced an dressed . Fresh made bread, friendly staff as well!! Today I had Lisa , and Darin , I believe. But they are all awesome!! Ty“

“Best subs in town. Pete and Kelly treat their customers like family. Highly recommend!!“

“I’ll give them 5 stars because they have the best tuna fish and I don’t like to hurt anyone’s business but I ordered a double meat Big Kahuna Chicken Cheesesteak and wanted provolone instead of American white cheese. I could barely tell there was any cheese on it and was the worst cheesesteak I’ve ever had there, very dry. Maybe I ordered it wrong and if so I apologize.“

“It felt like the Bahn Mi shop I used to go to in Australia. I can't really rate the food as I was not able to eat it. I am used to them putting chilli's on the sandwich. I would just take them off, B&N seem to have the heat in the pickling juice the vegetables were pickled in. The orginal flavor I got was amazing, then my taste buds ran away. So be warned. Ask and don't assume if you can't handle spicey.“

“Thank you so much for sheltering my boys and I last night during the storm. I was headed to Lowell and apparently a tornado sat down near our home. I was able to keep my boys safe and you guys kept us dry and gave my sons water to calm down while they ate their delicious sandwiches. Thank you!“

“I ordered the Buffalo Chicken on a pretzel bun. The pretzel bread is to die for! The chicken had the perfect amount of heat. I can tell that the lettuce and tomato was fresh!! I'll definitely be back!“

“Is always a go to spot if I want some subway, its close to center of a lot of spots and houses, so easy to grab on the way. I usually do order to go, so I don't eat in a lot. But they make quality subs, and are most of the time pretty fast with them.

Also use subway coupon codes to save money or get extra, there is usually a couple active per month“

“I just wanted to take a moment and say the Grand Rapids MI off 28 potbelly is amazing. It was busy as heck and the crew was on there game still getting to everyone well bringing amazing customers service! I will be eating here regularly! 😁“

“I rolled in two minutes before they closed, the guy behind the counter was super kind and did not make me feel rushed at all. Got half a BLT and ate it there, again no sense of rushing me out. Great food, great service, saved my life needing a quick snack before court next door!“

“I have to be honest, our crew is a big one. I didn’t have high expectations that they were gonna be able to serve all 20 of us in a reasonable time. But we put a lot of the orders in online ahead and Reesha had many of it done when we arrived, and for those that still need to order, she managed the entire store all by herself. She did it with a smile and believe it or not all the orders were right. Great job.“

“I had forgotten my wallet and it had lots of cash in it. I looked around all day for it and then I realized I might’ve left it at Jimmy John’s. The very nice people there had started in the back for me to come get it. They also gave me a free sub card, which was really really nice. Their sandwiches are great. Everyone there is super nice. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a nice tasty lunch!“

“Staff was awesome in taking care of my mistake as i ordered wrong. Very friendly, it was late at night and they didn't seem bothered that I put them out although I know I was surely a huge inconvenience. Thank you for great service and going above and beyond!“

“I myself have made some pretty delicious sandwiches, very rarely will I splurge on something I know I can make better at home. But these sandwiches, specifically when made by Alec, are life changing. The ingredients, the ratios, the THICKNESS, girl I can't even. DO NOT SLEEP ON THESE SANDWICHES! Subway, Jimmy's, and Jersey's can get wrecked.“

“I work right next door and I can get a quick bite to eat in my break. The delivery is great and my sandwich is always the way I order it. The staff is beyond friendly and I love getting the day old bread for my vegetarian son. He loves his lettuce sandwiches.“

“Omesha!! I can't say enough about this wonderful lady. Prompt service with a smile. She kept conversation my sub was exactly how I wanted it. Its nice to see a Lady who has pride in her job. Thanks for the great experience!! This girl needs a raise“

“The girls working tonight (10/30) were amazing! They were beyond nice and funny and made me one of the best sandwiches I have gotten from here in a loooooonggg time. Those girls deserve a raise FR!!!!!

Also, please change the sound your machine makes when online ordering, the sound assaulted my ears aggressively and made me jump. Thanks!“

“Ordered my #5 without tomatoes....employee was busy on phone making evening plans....You could have saved yourself a tomato as I didn't want one, felt sandwich wasn't as good as usual. Skimped on products. Check orders better, please.“

“Massiah, nana and sumer provided excellent customer service and was very helpful throughout my experience. Sumer was also friendly, professional, and made sure everything went smoothly. Both of them went above and beyond, and I truly appreciate their great service!“

“Absolutely amazing store!!!! I order here around a dozen times every month for my office when we get lunches for clients. We often submit large orders with substitutions and sometimes have multiple orders in one day. I can’t imagine the volume of orders they get besides us being downtown and the food still manages to get here super quickly. Every one of their employees I’ve interacted with have been very friendly and helpful as well. Not to mention the food comes out great every time. They definitely deserve recognition for all their hard work—thank you!!“

“Came to pick up my order & added a muffin. The blonde girl with pony tail and hat needs to listen before she assumes what I needed. I simply asked how to scan my rewards before purchasing the muffin. She thought I wanted to sign up for rewards. Then she said sorry I don’t think we have rewards for the muffins. Isn’t that how rewards work, scan for every item purchased?“

“I stopped by Subway today for lunch, and I was genuinely impressed! The restaurant was spotless, and the staff greeted me with smiles the moment I walked in. My sandwich artist took the time to make sure everything was exactly how I wanted it — fresh veggies, perfectly toasted bread, and the right amount of sauce.

You could tell all the ingredients were fresh; the tomatoes were crisp, the lettuce was bright, and the bread smelled amazing. I tried the Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki on Italian Herb & Cheese, and it was absolutely delicious — warm, flavorful, and satisfying.

The service was quick even during the lunch rush, and the employees seemed to take real pride in their work. The dining area was clean and comfortable, with a welcoming atmosphere that made me want to stay a little longer.

All in all, this Subway exceeded my expectations. It’s clear the team here cares about quality and customer experience. I’ll definitely be coming back soon!“

“Super good Philly sub!!!!!!!“
