50 Best Sandwich Shops in Charlotte

“A little overpriced in my opinion, that's my only critique. The sandwiches are great but the tomato soup.....I could drink that ish with a straw. Even when I order sandwiches from other places at Optimist I come to Papi Queso to get a bowl of soup. It's $5 for a smallish bowl which seems a few $ overpriced.

Service is great, and they actually have cool bar seating there which most of the other tenants do not.“

“Great food and service! Would recommend! Will be going back when we’re in town.“

“Love this place. Rick the owner is great. Greets me by name every visit.“

“The staff was very professionally pleasant, the food was well prepared and the restaurant was well kept. My mother and I went to the Matthew location.“

“Omg. I am putting JJ's on the curb!! First time UBER priority $80 order from Albemarle Rd Charlotte!! Subs were awesome!!! Fresh tasting with good tomatoes (not the case with JJ. Theirs are hard and not ripe!) The roast beef was moist and meaty tasting (not the case at JJ. Theirs is slightly dry!) And the tuna!!!!! Yummy fresh. I will order again for sure.“

“This is my favorite Penn Station location in the Charlotte area! The food was absolutely amazing and the service was even better. The shift leader, Caleb, gave excellent service while giving me great options to choose from. I ended up going with the New Buffalo Chicken sub and it was an absolute gem! Go try this sub out and Penn Station, please consider Caleb for a promotion! He exemplifies great customer service and is extremely friendly! Thanks again Penn Station at Remount!“

“If I desire a sub, the Sub One Hoagie will be my go to. Fresh product, tea is taste like God made it himself. Very affordable!“

“The food quality it top notch! Very tasty and a great group of employees.“

“I walked in and instantly felt a burst of energy. This location was so clean and I can tell they run an efficient operation. The manager Darryl was very welcoming and so accommodating. He made sure that my sub was made exactly how I wanted it even with all of my dietary restrictions. My sub was literally done in 5 minutes. I will definitely be back.“

“Literally the best place to eat in South! If you order ahead, food is made EXACTLY how you asked. Everyone in the store is so incredible! They go out of their way to make sure you are fully satisfied with your order! I absolutely recommend stopping here SPECIFICALLY. The environment is amazing!

Parking: Plenty of spots, they even have 15 minute parking out front if you need to run in to grab your meal real quick.

Kid-friendliness: They have meals specific for kids. ALSO, every Wednesday after 4pm, kids eat free!“

“I will make this short and sweet. Jake was by far the nicest person I have ever encountered while being frustrated in regard to my food. I will eat here again! But most importantly, I will be going back for Jake's hospitality!“

“I have been going to Rusty's for over 30 years. The food has been consistently good that whole time. In fact it is so good that I will not order a hamburger at another restaurant as I know I will be disappointed. I am there virtually every Friday for lunch. The Staff know me and always make me feel welcome. It is like the TV show Friends, where everybody knows your name. A special shoutout to the lunch time crew that I have come know. You can't go wrong at Rusty's.“

“Great food and excellent service 👍🏻“

“We decided to place a to-go order due to the large number of customers in the restaurant. Unfortunately, my experience was diminished by an encounter with a rude and impatient older lady, which was disappointing. However, I must mention that the veggie sandwich and potato salad were enjoyable and tasted good.“

“#4 was delicious 😋 also the fries were very good I got the Cajun seasoned ones. Toppings were very fresh on the sandwich also. Good flavor in the meat and the service was excellent. I’ll def go back to try summer roll and beef sub“

“It was amazing like Jersey Mikes always is!! So glad this location opened up close to where I live! Will be back for sure! I was patiently waiting for this one to open and I'm so glad that it is now!“

“I highly recommend! The food was amazing. The cheesesteaks was loaded with meet and toppings. My children, husband, and myself loved it. The staff was great. I give it a 10/10 rating“

“Delicious and tasty healthy menu. Love that they have such variety sandwiches, scoops, soups, salads, lots of yummy sides, and the grapes… The grapes!“

“I had an avocado under which I believe and it looked it really small and got no food is my girlfriend but I promise you it was fulfilling it was delicious The gentleman that made it I believe his name is Anthony he has locs tall brown dark skin... man, he, he put some real good energy into that unwhiche... man I appreciate that... he deserves a dollar raise... if you give him a dollar raise I guarantee you everybody that come order that unwich will come back 10+ times each ....including me!“

“It was the best Italian sub I have had in a very long time.“

“Awesome spot for sandwiches and you can build your own. Open kitchen, prepared salads and sandwiches, order at the counter, BYO options, super friendly staff. No indoor seating, only a couple benches outside makes it a grab and go situation. Can’t miss!!“

“Chicken Salad Chick's chicken salad is top-notch, especially Dixie Chick and Barbie-Q. Dixie Chick is savory, while Barbie-Q offers a smoky, tangy kick. The friendly employees provided excellent service, making our takeout experience pleasant and seamless. Delicious flavors and great customer service make it a favorite spot.“

“I was a little sad when I was told this location couldn't deliver to our office 2.9 miles away, but I also understand this was not decided by the employee on the phone. I picked up our order instead and the staff was extremely friendly, the prices are great, and the sandwiches are freaking delicious and well-made. But please consider broadening your delivery range for this store (or opening up a store closer to Pineville/Westinghouse Rd area).“

“We were from out of town and The lady at the front counter was very kind very patient with us even the guy who was assisting her . We got a Sausage,egg,cheese, with some onions on wheat toast and it was perfect ! No condiments needed . Their gentleness and kindness was atmospheric .. despite other people always being in a rush this cafe is the perfect place to wind down .“

“Very tasty. Quick. Inexpensive.“

“This is not a place I would recommend going for a quick bite, lunch is usually very busy because they deliver delicious consistent sandwiches.

Even though they are always busy, I've always found the staff to be patient and professional.

Keep doing what you're doing, those fantastic sandwiches sure do hit the spot, as long as I'm not in a rush!

3/12/25 update:

Still friendly and still delicious. We came in earlier than usual today, and super pleasantly there was no line. In and out. Awesome!“

“You're not going to get much closer to Philly than Jersey. And Jersey Mike's does not disappoint. From the moment that you walk in, the vibe is palpable, even from the customers waiting in line. The staff immediately welcomes you, and from the overheard conversations, you know that a bunch of them are regulars. The interior is absolutely immaculate, and everything is handicap accessible. 2 full-size Philly Cheesesteaks with everything on them to go.
Everything is sliced fresh, in front of you. And the Philly Cheesesteak is everything that you want. Roll is crunchy on the outside, giving the sandwich body and stability. Soft and chewy on the inside, sopping up the grease. And everything was seasoned to perfection.
Happy Holidays. Give yourself the present of a truly phenomenal sandwich.

“They were so nice!! The food was really good“

“Food is good. Open hours are kind of odd though. I went in as google indicated they were open until 3pm on Sunday. When I arrived about 2:30 from first Glance they appeared to be closed. I then looked at the hours on the door and it indicated they were closed on Sunday. Then I seen a paper sign indicating they were open Sundays until 3pm in September. As I was about to leave I seen a worker sweeping and tried the door and it opened. Suffice it to say next time I am calling to verify they are open before going.“

“Sandwich Club is a gem in the heart of Uptown, right on The Green. These folks know how to make a sandwich that hits every time. The Carolina Crunch Wrap is my personal favorite.

This is more than just a deli. With over 25 years in business, the owners clearly care about every detail. The branding is modern, cheerful and makes the whole place feel fun and welcoming.

The meat is incredibly fresh, the produce is top-notch, and the wall of artisanal chips is a vibe. I went with the dill pickle and was not disappointed. 🥒

Support local. Support Sandwich Club.“

“Freda was EXCELLENT & SOOOFriendly!!!.. I ended up ordering TWICEAsMUCH because of her & the Specials she suggested! Will be back SOON!“

“I eat here regularly...Good food,affordable and friendly staff“

“Just got to start out with a shout out to Jaeshawn (hope that's how you spell it) and Gabe, them guys did it up right for me and my family.

We drove here (2 hrs) last weekend because we just wanted to slide out of town and we had capriottis before (MB location). This location was by far better and those guy working there did something to the building and food cause it felt like I was so welcome there and the food was so good.

I got that Chipotle Crunch last week and I had to go get another different sub after I ate that one for a to go sandwich. The original Italian was the best Italian sandwich I ever had and I love sandwiches.

We went back this weekend because my wife was craving another hot Bobbie, so of course happy wife happy life lol. I got the chicken Parm this time, it was a great sandwich. The marinara, OMG love the flavor and it was warm and almost like the meat and everything was just melting in my mouth. Before we left, I had to get one for later again. I got the grilled Italian, very good sandwich even after it wasn't hot no more hours later.

Again just want to say Jaeshawn and Gabe were the best. Hope these guys continue to put that magic/love into the work they do. Not enough people seem like they are proud of the food and work they put in but these guys are what you want when you go to eat somewhere.

Also, we got there, ordered and sat down to eat less than 30 minutes before they closed. We all felt bad but those guys made me and my family feel welcome to take our time even if they were closing. Usually restaurants want you to hurry and get out so they can finish up and go home but those guys just wanted us to enjoy what we came there for.

Parking: I didn't have a problem with parking either time I went there.

Kid-friendliness: Atmosphere was very kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: They do have a wheelchair ramp right in front of the store from the parking lot to the sidewalk/entrance.“

“Great service and fantastic sandwiches.“

“Man I ordered the triple cheeseburger all the way and 1st bite was so yummy ? I had to stop and do a review!! My 1st time having their burger ? and yessss it didn’t disappoint good stuff!! Had an order of fries that were hot and fresh and taste like they peeled the potatoes their self… dang they probably did though which is a plus!! I love the fact it’s made to order nice ? I’ll be back“

“I’ve been visiting this location since I moved into the area about a year ago. Every experience has been amazing. Friendly service, delicious food, accurate and efficient ordering - always a pleasurable and reliable experience. I picked up an order today and the gentleman assisting me offered me a free drink, simply out of kindness. The employees here consistently go above and beyond for the customers and I am just so grateful to have this exceptional little spot in our community. Thank you McAlister’s in Berewick for having the best, sweetest employees! You have a customer for life. 😊“

“Always fresh and friendly“

“The guy who is working at a hotel that we're staying in recommended us to go there for dinner he told us it was really good so we said okay and we went boy you was telling the truth that was one of the best sandwiches I had so far in this trip next time I'm coming to North Carolina I will definitely stop there for lunch or dinner again hope to see you soon we were there Saturday June 29th around 8:30 p.m. can the people that work there we're very nice and very respectable“

“Love that you can order by drive through! My sub was perfect but unfortunately when I got home I realized that they gave me an incorrect large drink which was a bummer because I didn’t want to drive all the way back to get my drink.I also felt like my entire meal was a little pricey but to their credit, my sub was very loaded which I loved. I guess that is also due to inflation which is understandable.“

“Love Jersey Mikes. This was clean, staff was quick, food was fresh. would go back when I'm in the area.“

“The franchise owner at this location is one of the most genuine people you'll ever meet. Happy to support a business where you'll find the owner working alongside the other employees. Haven't been to a subway in years and this experience will have me coming back. Highly recommend!“

“Great subs and great customer service. I always stop in Jersey Mikes after I get my teeth cleaned at Lake Pointe Family Dentistry which is right above Jersey Mikes. I will stop in again next week sometime.“

“I order delivery from this location regularly. It really is so fast AND they get my order right every time.

Vegetarian options: Jimmy Johns seasonal menus will sometimes have vegetarian options. For example right now they have a Mediterranean veggie wrap with hummus that is quite good!“

“Thank you Cris and Potbelly Sandwich Shop Charlotte for catering our first teacher luncheon of the year at Pleasant Knoll Elementary School. Everything was perfect. Cris was so easy to work with and left out no details. Delivery was on time and the food was SOOO GOOD! We can't to use work with them again!“

“I eat at Jersey Mike’s at least once every two weeks. It is my favorite sub of all I used to be a subway girl for years, but starting going to Jersey Mike’s and I love it. The meat is so fresh and they pile it on you get your money and everything is so fresh . My second favorite is Jimmy John’s if there was not a jersey Mike’s in my town which there’s not excuse me I have to go to Gastonia because Dallas is small and we only have a subway and we’re getting a Howdy. Pizza and Sub, but anyway if there was not a jersey Mike’s near me, I would definitely choose Jimmy John’s next. So keep up the good work jersey Mike’s cause I truly do enjoy coming there. The help is always so helpful and nice. The store is always clean as soon as a person gets up from the table. Someone promptly goes out and cleans the area they keep the tea area wipe down it’s never sticky with spills everywhere. I mean they really do a fantastic job with cleaning the dining area constantly and I love that. I most of the time dine in, but I have done Take out. But I prefer to Dine in . I guess since Covid hit us and we were all shut down for so long. I really love and enjoy being able to just go in and sit down somewhere and have my dinner instead of having to go through a drive-through and carry at home and it be cold.“

“Good food served fast. And friendly … all facilities spotless. Looking for a place to eat? This is it! 👍👍👍“

“This place is fantastic! Went there last night for a networking meeting and was thoroughly impressed. The food, decor, and the live band were so great! Will definitely come back in the future just to hang out, meet for business, or to grab a great bite. The staff was so nice and had me in stitches! A true must visit!“
