50 Best Sandwich Shops near Cliffside Park

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ COMPTON’S is the kind of neighborhood gem you want everyone to know about — but secretly hope stays just yours. The sandwiches are massive, flavor‑packed, and clearly made with care. From the turkey hero with lime aioli to the Jaclyn with eggplant, every bite hits that perfect bread‑to‑filling ratio. The Reuben is a must‑try, and their chop cheese deserves all the hype.

What really sets COMPTON’S apart is the vibe: the owners make you feel welcome the second you walk in, and the service is as good as the food. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite at the counter or settling in at one of the few tables, you’ll leave full and happy.“

“😀 hey serving sarges now“

“We ordered 2 Blimpies Best and 2 Tuna, all large size sandwiches and 1 box of small cheese pizza. Everything is excellent and delicious, fresh ingredients and the pizza dough is very soft and tasty. We always order for delivery but 1st to dine in and its worth it. The owner Rasheed is friendly and nice. Definitely a place to go back.“

“This place is great! Atmosphere is chill and cool but the staff is also really friendly. They know what they're doing and what they're talking about, and you can tell making the customers happy is their main priority. Food is stunning!! Some italian classics and some twists, amazing wines and for their prices it's 100% worth it. Love this place and I can't wait to return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in NYC.“

“Definitely a spot you want to go to if you want a good sandwich. Nice heavily loaded sandwich the brooklyn way. Nice to still have these old school mom and pops sandwich spots in Brooklyn. My favorite, roast beef, eggplant and fresh mozzarella.“

“The best Italian sandwich you can ever get in your whole life. Very delicious and the quantity is really generous to the point I divided it in 3 steps. Everything is Italian there and the workers are really nice and welcoming. 100% recommended!“

“I went here today and had the most delightful lunch with my boyfriend. The co-owner was very welcoming and gave us many suggestions. We split a French onion soup and the duck panini. The co-owner gave us a delicious roasted pepper dip and a mustard sauce that went great with the sandwich. He also ended up giving us a Nutella crepe on the house! The food was great and the co-owner was lovely.“

“Ok, maybe I shouldn’t have picked marathon Sunday to finally hit up Frankel’s—it was packed! But what a great spot. I love their creative breakfast sandwich options, and the vibe was pure NYC energy. I got the pastrami, egg, and cheese on a challah bun, and it was exceptional. Perfectly balanced, rich, and just messy enough in the best way. 10 out of 10. I’ll definitely be back.“

“This is by far my favorite restaurant. Every item on their menu is amazing. The owners and staff are friendly and welcoming as well. I make the excuse to visit the restaurant once a week from Manhattan“

“Dopo una settimana in giro per NY, l'ultimo giorno, ahimé, ho scoperto il bar/gastronomia/shopping Best Sicily. Il miglior caffè!“

“This place is such a find!! My family and I just wanted some good, well priced sandwiches, and we feel like we struck gold with Shamas Deli! The owner was so kind, and the sandwiches are top notch. Every time we make the trip up from Atlanta, we will be sure to stop by!“

“Wow!! I’m from France and was craving a Parisian style sandwich - so glad I found this place, it brought my right back to France. I had the smoked duck sandwich and it was so good. The place is very cute and they’re very friendly!! Will become a regular spot for me for sure“

“Caveat, I did go here pregnant after fasting for 15 hours for a blood test so this is a very biased review. I had the chicken parm on the rosemary potato focaccia. The bread was fresh. Sandwich was warm. It felt like a hug. It was just what I needed. Very small seating area so definitely more of a togo spot but I was ravenous, undeterred and a bit delirious so inhaled the sandwich there and then got a Nutella filled donut to go.“

“The Sandwiches just like in Florence !!“

“when a cafe can lasting almost 100 years. It’s already mean some things. Although I went there earlier, but I still have too late in line for about 10 minutes to get a seat. Immediately, I was attractive by my next seat orders of the fries. It looks so comforting in the cold days. I have a small appetite but just after a workout so I asked protein rich meals. I got the pastrami is so tender and delicious Just right amount what I need.“

“The wait to order here on a weekend morning is a bit obscene, however the sandwiches are so very good and the desserts are not to be missed! Even though the line is long I think the staff and customers do a great job of handling the crowd and doing their best to open up the tables when you are finished.“

The burger was fresh and cooked perfectly, and the fresh cut fries were crispy and delicious. What a pleasant surprise! Welcome to the neighborhood, Empire Shop!“

“Sandwich was delicious. Loved the 70’s & 80’s movie posters on the wall. And the staff was helpful and had great vibes!“

“I attended an event that had rented this space. It is very clean, well lit, everything with the space seemed to be working well. It is in a complex that faces a parking lot. My only suggestion would be better signage as to where the entrance is at. (Hint: look for the blue door)“

“Walked to Shelskys on a cold windy Brooklyn Friday afternoon, but when I say it was worth it....it was worth it. After about 5 min of browsing, we decided on the Tuna Salad, which is served with sliced jalapeños and a spicy shrimp paste. It's got some heat, but nothing a Mexican from Chicago cant handle! Everything you see is fresh, and you can taste it. Prices aren't cheap but sometimes you gotta treat yo self!!! 10/10!“

“I thoroughly enjoyed the staff’s friendly and attentive demeanor, as well as the overall treatment I received. The food was delicious, although I must admit that I was likely just hungry. After all, I always relish my post-gym meals. I highly recommend this place!“

“Great food! Had lunch catered to my business and everything was superb!! Thanks Guys!“

“Delicious Breakfast Poutine!!!“

“I was craving for katsu sando and found the right place to have it. The bread was so fluffy and soft and pork katsu was so tender which went well with the sauce.
I also ordered fries with furikake but it wasn’t cooked well :(
It was so packed so I decided to order a takeout instead.“

“So delicious! Great people, great service! 😋🤤“

“This was our first time trying this famous sandwich place. Thus, we were not sure what were the options. Unfortunately, they do not have a list of menu. However, they were very patient with us and told us what the special sandwiches of the day were. We got that day's special which was roastbeef. It was quite delicious. Next time, I would like to try a sandwich with bresaola (if they have).“

“I came today and tried Pietro sandwich and it was amazing! Tasteful and huge! It’s definitely one of the best sandwiches I ever had and I totally reccomend it! I live in Greece but I visit often NY and from now on I will visit Capone’s every time I will be in the city!“

“I order from here a few times per week because I work in the neighborhood and Sandwell has become one of my favorite spots on the UWS. Creative and delish sandwiches (especially the Toasted Rivalry tuna melt please make that permanent lol) and the employees are very sweet.“

“Five stars all the way around. I’ve been in love since I first walked in. From the staff to the contractors that eat there it’s always a vibe. Yasmine is adorable and goes above and beyond for her customers. 💕🥰 lots of the to the management and staff“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE! Been working in Midtown for years and this is by far my coworker and Is favorite spot. Delicious sandwiches, fabulous staff, and the tastiest homemade aioli east of the Mississippi. Would recommend for dine in or out, for big or small, and for individual or team bonding outings! Perfect for every occasion!! Honorable mention to the Prosciutto di Parma. MUAH“

“I have not had the chance to try the food yet but I just wanted to say R.I.P Lady Octopus they used to be located their their food is missed very much . But I'm glad Edith's took over the spot the food looks delicious looking forward to try the pastrami chopped cheese ☺️“

“Great lunches very accommodating for small lunch gatherings. Friendly atmosphere and staff. Delicious home cooked food and Italian specialties“

“we loved it!“

“Delicious wraps! We go to the one on 102th st and Broadway.The only bad thing is poor service,workers have bad attitude! Makes your wrap taste bitter!“

“Great food! Had lunch catered to my business and everything was superb!! Thanks Guys!“

“An absolute gem! The staff is so friendly, and very knowledgeable. We tried the World Famous Cheeseburger pizza -aka the heart attack- and boy was it so worth it! From watching it be made to fighting through my last few bites, it was so outstanding that it had me coming back for more. A gooey fried egg, to the Chipotle mayo, just well put together. We also tried the new Care Package pie where we tried a bit of all the chicken pies, and it was a fun experience. A little taste of everything giving us a great understanding of the creativity that Krave has to offer. We will be back to try the sandwiches, wings, and new burgers! A must try 👌🏼“

“This week I had the best sandwich at this place! The flavors are fantastic, and each bite is packed with freshness. The ingredients are fresh , and you can really taste the quality. Whether you're into classic combinations or something more adventurous, there’s something for everyone. If you’re looking for a delicious meal, you definitely need to try their sandwiches!“

“Ordered delivery a few times. This place is a savior when you need dinner working an overnight shift. The cheese burgers are amazing and the coffee is amazing as well. The delivery guy are amazing. This place is amazing and I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Highly recommend.“

“Amazing , it’s a cashless place“

“Based on my experience there, I loved it but I’m hesitant to give five stars cause I only had the ribeye cheesesteak which may be one of the best cheesesteaks I’ve had out in NJ in all seriousness. Felt a little pricey but so does everything else these days. Even then, the cheesesteak was worth every cent. Highly recommended.“
