50 Best Sandwich Shops near Mendota Heights

“The younger guy with brown hair was awesome. He did all the work while the other worker didn’t even help him. That guy deserves a raise! Even with him being by himself he still had great customer service. I hope he gets recognized and that other worker shouldn’t work there if she’s not even going to help the person doing all the work out. I hope he sees this or management recognizes him because he deserves it!!“

“EXCELLENT, The Sandwich was on POINT“

“The fact that they Fed the homeless means everything! In a world where everyone is out for themselves, this means so much them helping people God bless them“

“I had had only great experiences at all the Lu's locations. Bahn mi, noodle bowls, egg rolls- chefs kiss. Pick anything off the menu and it'll be great. Thank you Lu's for bringing great food, culture and warmth to our community! See you again soon.“

“This was a great place for lunch or dinner. We tried 3 sandwiches and sides. The chicken strips were teen approved as well. We will definitely be back. So many sauces too.“

“I like this place I came in about once a week while I’m running errands. The foods good but I had an odd experience because I didn’t give the employee my sandwich toppings in the right order. I’ve been coming here since it opened and going to sandwich shops all my life and I’ve never had an employee get annoyed with me because I didn’t give my toppings in the right order and all I was doing was going by how they had the ingredients laid out. It just like an strange experience and not what I’m used to since this place usually has a pretty good atmosphere and friendly staff.“

“The team at the Highland Park St. Paul location is exceptional! Every staff member was warm, welcoming and genuinely engaged. The energy in the restaurant was so positive that I actually hadn’t planned to stay and eat, but the environment pulled me in.

It was honestly fun to watch the team together so seamlessly - welcoming and chatting with each guest while simultaneously prepping, building sandwiches, cooking, checking out customers, and keeping the space clean. Everyone seemed to move through each part of the process with such ease and attentiveness, and it created a really enjoyable atmosphere.

And of course my sandwich was perfect and delicious! Huge shoutout to this team! You can tell they take pride in what they do!“

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for bringing Udi's gluten free sub rolls to your store!! They are fantastic!! Tubs of meat and tuna are not the same as a real Jersey Mike's sub. �“

“friendly staff , quick @ lunch Portabello grilled w/ veggies , I enjoyed ! Going back .“

“This Jersey Mike’s location is incredible! I’ve never seen workers be this friendly before! They ask about your day and are just super fun to be around. They are also amazing at their job, making the freshest sandwiches! I will be going here way more in the future! Give these workers a raise! Visited on 6/5/26 at 12pm!“

“We had a large order of 17 boxed sandwiches for a church event, and the team at Jersey Mike's in Richfield did an outstanding job. When I walked in, I was greeted with a smile, and the entire experience was positive from start to finish.

Our order was ready right on time, well organized, and complete. I especially appreciated that the gluten-free sandwiches were clearly labeled along with all the other varieties, which made it super easy for people to choose the kind of sandwich they preferred. The staff was pleasant, helpful, and even brought everything out to our vehicle.

The sandwiches were a big hit with everyone at our church. Thank you to the team for making a large catering order so easy and stress-free. We really appreciate your excellent service!

“Great food and a EVEN BETTER AND CARING OWNER“

“The staff are friendly and efficient. Their prices are reasonable.“

“Best subs in the area! Fresh ingredients and meat.“

“First time visit to this location. Shoutout to Lexi for being friendly and energetic. She double checked the order every step: toppings add/removed, toasted, needing a drink carrier, etc. Hit every mark for making sure the order was correct. I saw the manager quickly respond when called for (to receive a delivery) and the man doing bike delivery got on register and assisted the next customers promptly when he arrived back. Really nice to see the team was in good spirits and invested with their work quality. Thank you Lexi!“

“I love my subs with more onions than the law allows and they always oblige me. I love this SUBWAY and their subs/hoagies are fresh and beyond delightful! Even when my sandwich gets the mix of mayo and oil and it drips out, mmmm, I'm that little girl in Philly buying my hoagies from Lou's Takeout, corner of Broad and Girard!“

“Shout out to Alex who went above and beyond to make up for Doordash's failure. THANK YOU ALEX!“

“Hands down my favorite spot for breakfast and lunch. The most authentic East Coast deli experience to be found in MPLS — only made better with an incredible Midwestern family-style customer service. Whenever I'm craving the comfort of a pastrami sandwich or potato salad (seriously, don't miss this), need to boost my morning with a power breakfast sandwich, or feel the need to health it up with a Southwest Turkey Wrap, I bee-line for Brothers. When crunched for time be sure to order ahead with Ritual app. Never disappointed.“

“Greg was working last night, 5/15/25. He was working alone. 4 of us came in about 8p. He was waiting on a guest. He was so friendly and engaging. He was cool as a cucumber dealing with the 3 kiddos making choices. He was not even rattled when on of the kiddos asked for stuff on the side. Greg is a great employee!!“

“The special is amazing!!!!“

“Really glad that Mama's Market is in the neighborhood. The sandwiches are well made with slightly spicy mama's sauce. I really liked the green smoothie, though it was a little sweet. I also liked the range of groceries and household goods available there. Prices are low to medium. They have bags of plantain chips on the shelf, bulk and 2 lb. bags of yellow split peas (vatana dal) and red lentils (masoor dal). They have many more grocery items that constitute African and America cuisine.“

“I’ve seen this place all over Instagram, so I finally decided to check it out and see if it lived up to the hype. I found free street parking & I ordered on the kiosk it was quick and efficient. And the staff cooking in the back were friendly. My sandwich was made fresh to order, came out hot, and took less than 10 minutes to prepare.

I tried the Cry’N Eggy, personally, it wasn’t quite as spicy as I was hoping for, and I could have done without the arugula. That being said, it was still a really good breakfast sandwich. It was wet without being too messy, I really enjoyed the garlic aioli, pepper jack cheese, toasted bun, and fluffy egg.

Overall, I can see why people talk about this place so much. I’d definitely come back to try another sandwich and would recommend giving it a try if you’ve been curious about the hype.“

“Guys when I tell you this was the best service I’ve ever had at a restaurant I mean it. I walked in a little late at around 8:30 pm and drew and Ben were working. This was my first time ever in a jersey mikes and I had no clue that to get. Drew and Ben gave me very good advice on what sandwich to get and they were both so polite! I asked for there names to leave a review and I 100% think they should get employees of the month. I will be coming back as soon I’m in the area again! I would 100% recommend this location and if it’s your first time ever at jersey mikes go here!!!“

“I walked in today and was instantly greeted by Alexander, he helped me pick out a new sub that I never heard of. The recommendation lead to conversation which revealed that he’s a remarkably kind and passionate person.

He proceeded to forge the most beautiful, mouth watering, nuanced, thoughtful, and immaculate sub sandwich that I’ve ever seen come from a subway. I don’t frequently eat at subway, but because of Alex, that has changed today. Thank you for the amazing sub, and the excellent service.“

“We have been going here since it opened and is always pretty good they do tend to mess up the ingredients on the subs alot I did complain once and received free subs from the manager I think but can't redeem on account no one at the store knows about it so we just pay for our food I see they are opening one in stillwater may give that one a try.“

“One of the worse sandwiches I have had! I will NEVER understand how an employee can begin to make your sandwich knowing full well the bread is as hard as a rock!!!!!
The lettuce was old. I tried holding a quick conversation with both employees & they were so unfriendly is was just a really bad experience.“

“There's always only one person working and they have one work speed only but ithe food quality is always on point. Plus typically nobody's gonna beg you for money or cigarettes walking out the door as in other places of downtown Saint Paul. Rip Saint paul“

“Excellent customer service, me & my husband will be back! Great sandwhich & soups!!“

“Stopped here for lunch!!! I got the Philly Cheese Steak with the Chipotle sauce..it was delicious!!! I haven't been to Subway for a really long time!! I was very impressed!! The food was fresh, the store's totally remodeled.Very clean and the staff are very friendly!!!“

“Delicious. Had the chicken sandwich, it was so juicy and creamy. Their house sauce is amazing. Had to get 2 to savor the flavor.“

“Food was okay (not a big sandwich person) Nick helped me okay and he was great! I am from Iowa and he helped me navigate around and figure out where I needed to go! �“

“Bre is amazing . The lady who had James Tyler tattooed on the right side of her neck with a eyebrow piercing is absolutely terrible we had made an online order and she was outside sitting next to us with her window down yelling to some man she was going to smoke some weed and then he walked over and said he was there for a free sandwich so then they smoked their blunt and then she went in and made his sandwiches even tho she seen she had a couple orders before his… and there was another lady who was working with a face tattoo who looked like she was doing everything by herself , would def recommend when bre is working tho!!“

“Had a great experience at this Subway! I placed my order online, and everything was ready when I arrived. The order was made exactly the way I requested.

Did a great job and made the online ordering experience completely hassle-free.“

“My daughter and I got sandwiches to go. She got the steak flatbread and I got the tuna on Italian. We expected Subway and we got Subway! The bread was fresh and delicious and the veggies were fresh as well. I wish Subway’s proteins were a little better (the tuna is the cheap brown flake stuff), but our food was good! The store was clean and the employees were friendly.“

“We had an early morning flight and Josh was so helpful! He made our bagels quickly to go and gave me plenty of cream cheese and napkins. They were a fair price too, much cheaper than the bagels I bought at RSW on our way to Msp. Thanks so much!!“

“This is the best Jimmy John’s and I am truly sorry to a couple other stores for saying that. Hayley made my sandwich so fast that I, quite frankly, wasn’t “freaked” out, I was almost in shock! All of the other staff were very helpful and friendly as well and the food was super tasty. Thank you 9th street!“

“Not welcoming feels more than uncomfortable to stay and eat....it's frowned upon to sit and enjoy ur meal at a table .....additude like they get mad at u for dining in cuz they go have to maybe clean a table or two.

PEOPLE CAN FEEL THAT
NON SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY“

“In Minneapolis skyway close to Target Store. Had Philly cheesesteak and it’s very good. The price for the large sub was $14, still cheaper than the overpriced and unethical Subway in Northeast Minneapolis on Central. Really, the skyway location most likely has higher rent.“

“The manager is absolutely pleasant and recognizes me by name as a regular every time I go. ❤

Absolutely cozy and personal feeling service, with good food served well and the way I ask for it. A constantly visited location for me!“

“I had an order mistake recently that Ahmed, the general manager, and his team took ownership of and comped my full next meal I appreciate an individual franchise taking this kind of ownership and really making a great experience in the end.

My meal was evenn on fresh-baked bread that was still warm; an experience I've never had at any Jimmy Johnson's until today.

I'm rarely here during regularly lunch hour, but it's good to know their dining space has an airy feel with a view over 2nd Avenue.“

“Delicious best sandwiches .“

“I stopped in today around 1:00pm and some of the kindest crew members helped me find an address I was desperately searching for. I am from WAY out of town and couldn't find the pharmacy in U of M maze, despite having a gps & address. The crew went above and beyond to get me in the right direction. Not only were they freaky fast at helping me, they were freaking awesome! Thank you so much... I promise to stay for a sandwich next time! <3“

“This is the CLEANEST FRESHEST Subway I’ve ever seen! I don’t normally write reviews too often but this location wowed me. They’re doing it right! You can tell ownership, management, and employees really care about quality and cleanliness. Keep it up yall!“

“I'm just really writing this review to tell everybody that's whining about Subway and the employees try it for a day see how you feel about customers like yourself coming in and being a holes to them! I've been eating at Subway for many many years only had a problem one time they were closed because I forgot to set my clock ahead so it was really 9: 45 and not 8:45 which I thought it was so it was my bad now stop complaining about the employees unless you've done it or are doing it!!!!“

“This subway is always great. They are the nicest people and i've never had to wait more than 1 to 2 minutes because they work fast. The owner always sends me customers off with a cookie if they smile and are nice! Best subway in Minneapolis“

“they have good food 3 of my friends and I were there last week..and we are going back soon“

“Such a great convenient location, the young lady working the close on September 28th was such a delight. Shes greated us at the door and it was right before closing but she was so happy to help us find our online order, she even commented on how delicious it looked. Its definitely the best service ive had in awhile at a subway, especially right before closing. I just wish I had gotten her name. Food was very well prepared. Location was well kept up“

“I don't get here often, because so many of the stores have closed. I like their sandwiches. Had a Narmer (turkey, provolone and avocado) on wheat. The bread was fresh and tasted good. The sandwich was well made. The shop is unremarkable and seemed clean.“

“Jimmy John’s is always a solid go-to when you want something quick, fresh, and consistent. Their sandwiches are simple but packed with flavor, and the ingredients taste fresh every time. The bread is the real star-soft inside with a nice chew on the outside, making every bite satisfying. Service is usually lightning fast, living up to their “Freaky Fast” reputation, which is perfect when you’re on a lunch break or in a rush. While the menu isn’t huge, it’s straightforward and dependable, and customization is easy. Prices are fair for the quality and speed, and overall it’s a reliable option when you want a sandwich without the wait.“
