42 Best Sandwich Shops in St. Louis

“We were traveling from out of town and decided to stop at Adriana’s for lunch and I’m so happy we did! The staff is so friendly and treat you like you’ve known them for years.

The food was of course delicious as well. My spouse got the Italian Beef and subbed the regular bread for garlic cheese bread (HIGHLY recommend doing this!). I got the Joe with a side of pasta salad.

This a cute sandwich shop and we definitely recommend going for a delicious lunch!“

“The food is delish and service is great. We go there often. On Sunday, we went at noon, which we had not done before, and almost every table was full. We had to sit in the back area where there are tables with chairs and it was a tight fit. They also have tables with booths and some high tops but they were full. Seriously, the seating on Sunday is the only complaint that I have. The fact that they were packed is a testament to their amazing food, service, and cleanliness.“

“Worked here for many years, Kipp and his family have always been great to me. Now, I get the pleasure of taking my family in anytime we are in the city! If you’re going to the zoo, this is a must stop! If you’re going to the Cardinals game fill up here and you won’t regret it.“

“Great service along with great sandwiches!! Wining combo!“

“My husband & I ordered Pickleman's from our hotel after a concert. They delivered right to the hotel. We ordered sandwiches & they were very good. I highly recommend this place:)“

“Proper old school diner with the kind of filling food you would hope to find. Only draw back is no all day breakfast, but the lunch fare was more than worth missing out. The bacon cheeseburger was somehow both a delightful fried and crispy flat top smash burger and the kind of thick patty you'd usually find in one of those $20 'gourmet' burger joints.“

“Had one of your subs for the first time today...the best sub I've ever had..yes a little bit more expensive than your average sub but in my opinion well worth it!!..i will be back...probably this weekend!!..“

“Lettvint mat, når en vandrer gatelangs. Smakte veldig godt, trivelig betjening.“

“best sandwiches on the planet“

“Food was great, service was great … if we are ever back in St. Louis we will go back“

“Great sandwiches and soups“

“Great little spot in Soulard for lunch or dinner. They have a very expensive menu, everything is fresh and made to order, great drink selection as well. My suggestion is that you go with the honey, mustard, chicken sandwich, and you can’t go wrong. I also tried the buffalo chicken sandwich, and it was also excellent. Everything I’ve had here in the past few years has been awesome, they have great service, and it is well worth the stop it

A great alternative to eating at the brewery if you’re going on a tour and need a bite to eat after.“

“The lady inside was SO NICE and personable. My fiance had gone in to get our food while I tended to our baby and he ended up getting my sandwich toasted. I can’t eat warm meat so I took it back in myself and explained to her about my issue and she fixed it no problem and didn’t argue at all even tho it was definitely our fault!

She said she has recently become full owner of the shop and she’s doing a fantastic job! Come support this small business!!!“

“Delicious food and amazing customer service!“

“Best Alfredo pasta and every time you walk in it smells like heaven“

“Fantastic sandwiches and a fair price. Bread is outstanding!“

“Kathy and the gentlemen that work at this location are the best! They make everyone feel welcome and the place is always perfectly clean!!! The food is excellent, both taste and presentation!!! The Hook & Ladder with Light Italian dressing is so delicious and filling and low in calories!!! It’s amazing!!!!“

“Jersey Mike's on Lindbergh was clean, employees were all professional and friendly. I had never been to one but friends raved about how great the sandwiches tasted. All my questions were answered. I picked four types and was pleased. Fresh bread and meat. I watched as sandwiches were made. Everyone at poker enjoyed them. Philly steak was delicious, very popular. Ham and cheese and roast beef with provolone followed by premier club were the choices. Oh, I purchased a BLT for dinner at home later....yum.“

“I had an absolutely phenomenal experience at McAlister's Deli on Lemay Ferry Rd during a recent lunch visit, and I can't stop raving about it! I ordered the Sweet and Smoky Chicken Sandwich, which was an absolute masterpiece. The grilled chicken was tender and juicy, slathered in a smoky, tangy BBQ sauce that had just the right balance of sweet and savory. The crispy, thick-cut bacon added a perfect crunch, and the melted cheddar was gooey and rich, all nestled in a perfectly toasted ciabatta bun that held everything together without getting soggy. The side of macaroni was a creamy, cheesy delight--smooth, velvety, and packed with that comforting, homey flavor that makes you want to savor every bite. And let's talk about that pickle slice on the side: it was crisp, refreshingly tangy, and cut just thick enough to add a zesty pop to the meal, elevating the whole plate.

Of course, I couldn't resist pairing my meal with McAlister's Famous Sweet Tea, and it was pure perfection--ice-cold, with a balanced sweetness that wasn't overpowering, served in a massive cup that kept me sipping happily throughout the meal. The portion sizes were generous, especially for the price, which felt like a steal for the quality and quantity.

The service was outstanding from start to finish. The staff greeted me with genuine smiles and were incredibly attentive, even during a packed lunch rush. My order was prepared quickly--within 10 minutes, despite the line--and everything came out exactly as requested. The cashier even took a moment to chat about the menu, which made the experience feel personal and welcoming. The dining area was spotlessly clean, with tables wiped down promptly and a warm, casual atmosphere that's perfect for a quick bite or a leisurely meal with friends. The decor, with its cozy yet modern vibe, added to the inviting feel, and the background music was just loud enough to create ambiance without drowning out conversation.

What really stood out was the attention to detail across the board--fresh ingredients, a well-executed meal, and a team that clearly cares about making customers happy. This McAlister's has nailed the balance of quality, speed, and hospitality. It's become my go-to spot in the area, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit to try more of the menu (those giant spuds are calling my name!). If you're near Lemay Ferry Rd and craving a satisfying, delicious meal with top-notch service, this place is an absolute must. Highly, highly recommend!“

“I have been coming to this subway for years now. I come every Tuesday but started coming on Sundays because this location started SUNDAY FUNNY QUOTES! I definitely enjoy the bags ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! But unfortunately I've been out of town for a couple months and I just got back and my first stop was Subway I went in there tonight to get my funny quote bag (or a couple ) just to be a little disappointed to find out the young lady that started it does not do it anymore THE TWO EMPLOYEES THAT WAS THERE IS ABSOLUTELY JOYFUL THEY MADE ME FEEL WELCOME AND SPREAD AMAZING HOSPITALITY THIS LOCATION IS TOP OF THE LINE. This location has done a 180 in 8 months the foods better. the employees are better. the environment so much better
BRING BACK FUNNY QUOTE SUNDAY“

“Steak and cheese sandwich is the best!“

“This subway has my stomach and my respect. Yesterday there was a mishap with a sandwich I ordered and they apologized and took my information and explained how they could make up for it. I returned today and they upheld their end of the bargain. I’m more than satisfied because I was able to get what I wanted and that makes me happy.“

“Listen… I’m a foodie and have done alot of traveling…. THIS hidden gem is one of the best sandwich spots I’ve ever had! You need to try this place 😍😍“

“I love this place,Great subway!! always provide fresh, soft and healthy food. Staff was very friendly and cooperative.Sitting area was neat and clean. mostly i visited here.Wonderful place to eat and spend special time with your friends.Fully satisfied. 5 star!!!“

“Although on a busy street, this location is pretty solid. I stopped by one day for a quick bite and ended up getting two sandwiches and a soda. The two ladies that were in the store were very nice and hospitable. The store was spacious and most importantly, they had clean tables. I'd definitely make this a regular stop on my route. Thank you, ladies!“

“I have been here twice since it opened a week ago. The food was great and the workers were very friendly and knew what they were doing.

Just some caution: the lobby (as of this review) closes at 7 but they still accept to-go orders until 9. If it is locked just call (until they get a buzzer on the pick up window.... oh and that reminds me, the pick up window is a nice touch).

But 100% would recommend. Great sandwiches for the price. And also great, friendly employees who seem to care about doing a great job.“

“The restaurant is always clean and the ladies are very nice and professional all the timeI also want to add that the bread and vegetables along with cookies are always freshEverything is outstandingIf I want Subway I always wait until I’m near the Kingshighway and Natural Bridge location to get my sandwich“

“Goodbye subway! Your subs are played out. Hello Firehouse, I wish I had tried you sooner. I didn't come three days on a row🤭 Don't tell my husband. Your sandwiches are delicious and fresh. We have tried the turkey bacon ranch, the Italian and the meatball sub. 🔥🤤“

“The sandwiches are delicious. The people that work here are the nicest & kindest. Every time that I visit this establishment everyone is so friendly. I highly recommend this Charley’s to everyone.“

“I have came in here about three times since moving in the area and it has been a perfect experience every single time. Never a long line, Workers always super friendly and accommodating. Came in today for lunch and Ordered my sandwich, the veggies are super fresh, Every time I have came. Bread always soft. I’ve never had as many good experiences at a specific subway like this location. highly recommend.“

“This the one!! I've visited alot of Subways in the city, left reviews and this is the only one that actually does it right every time thank yall for doing a good job! I'll pass up Broadway, Jamieson, Maplewood, just to get lunch from this Subways on kingshighway keep it up🙏🏽“

“This Jimmy John's location is Fantastic! We used their catering services for our Christmas Party at Bethesda Southgate and when there was some confusion (probably on our end) about how the order was supposed to come and we ran short on sandwiches, they saved the day! They dropped off more sandwiches with hardly any notice and were so friendly about it! We will definitely be using them again to cater employee parties! Jen Popp Administrator Bethesda Southgate“

“I decided to try this location, and let me just say, the two sweet ladies at this restaurant absolutely made my day! After just leaving another location where the service wasn’t pleasant, I was greeted warmly as soon as I walked through the door. They not only welcomed me with kindness but also made my meal exceptionally delicious. This is exactly what great service is all about, especially when I’m spending my hard-earned money. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!“

“I have to say, this is THE best subway definitely in north county but possibly the stl area. Super clean, super fast and friendly. Literally hospital clean every time you go.
