50 Best Sandwich Shops near Elmwood Park

“If you miss this place, then you are missing out on life! By far the best Italian sub shop, I've ever had the experience to try. Their subs are slammin!!! Highly recommended and such wonderful staff too!! It's definitely a must go to, and now my favorite sub shop around!!“

“Blimpie is like biting into the 90s—a time capsule of deli perfection. It’s not some soulless chain; it feels local, like the sandwich shop from your childhood where they knew how to make it with love. The subs are fresh, the prices are refreshingly old-school, and the vibe? Pure nostalgia. Stepping inside, you half-expect to hear a payphone ring. Visit this gem while it’s still around—because places like this don’t stick around forever. Sandwiches are PERFEFTION“

“They have new employees now so that's a plus, the restaurant has an overall positive vibe and it's very inviting, perfect for a quick bite to eat or to dine in, also, glad that they updated the music playlist as well, above all, it's a good Subway location:“

“I taked to there "my kids" (im a babysitter) to have a açai bowl with a lot of tops. they loved so much and they tried the pao de queijo too, The Best.“

“Everything on the menu is delicious! The service is fast and staff is amazing. My children love their empanadas! It’s cozy, welcoming and relaxing ambiance…“

“Subway, Is truly the best place to come in and gets a snack or sandwich. I love it and the Service is even better I would definitely recommend coming here and get yourself something to eat come stop by and get yourself something yummy to fill your stomach“

“Everything was so fresh and delicious“

“The pastrami is really good“

“Holy crap the sandwich was good it was bursting with flavor and everything in between. The guy helping me gave me 70 free bags of chips and free cookies, of course. My life has been changed forever. The sandwich was so good, for a second I thought my dad returned.“

“This was my first time visiting Staci's...the hype is well-deserved! The customer service is warm, friendly and super inviting. I had the chicken ceasar salad sandwich. It was absolutely delicious! The chicken was seasoned nicely, the bread was delightful and the dressing immaculate. I'll definitely be back.“

“Always a great experience at the deli. The owner is very personable and accommodating.“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Amazing , it’s a cashless place“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.“

“My 16 yr old son insists that we go to Wyckoff Deli several times per week after school for their phenomenal fresh turkey BLT on toasted multigrain bread with mayo. If you like turkey carved off the bone and bacon cooked just right, this is the place! Try it. You will not be disappointed. And you can’t beat the friendly and accommodating staff!“

“I`ve tasted in a couple years ago, and I just can say that is the most delicious sandwich in NJ 😉👌“

“Thank you for your generous support of Eastbrook’s class of 2021! Amazing spread of sandwiches, fixings & even gluten free options!“

“If you were looking for a cup of coffee and a sandwich at 4:30 a.m. this is your spot! I've been in here several times, and the place is spotless. They only have one small table to sit at, so you shouldn't plan on eating there. There's a big menu and the coffee is always fresh. I always see the same guy working there, and you can tell he knows what he's doing. If you are in the area and need something quick and easy and reasonably priced this is the place to go.“

“It had been a little bit since we've been in (life gets in the way sometimes) but as soon as my husband & I walked in the door we were hit with that heavenly Blimpies scent of fresh ingredients that is indicative of Blimpies & Blimpies alone. It just smells like delicious subs. We realized, after speaking to the wonderful owner, that we've been getting the BEST subs in the world at this location for over 40 years! My pick is a "Blimpies Best" (extra oil & vinegar) honestly it was perfect. My husband gets a turkey & provolone which was terrific (he gave me puppy dog eyes & got a huge chunk of mine too)
Eateries come & go but the best stay, this is worthy of place in your rotation.
I should also say that I live in Nutley with quite a few Italian delis & pizzerias so if I'm saying the Italian sub (Blimpies Best) is terrific that's saying a lot.“

“From someone whose appetite has been battle-tested and brutally selective, this place doesn’t just serve food; it delivers an experience that resets the standard.

Every plate arrives like it has something to prove. The heat is perfect. The texture is intentional. The flavors aren’t loud for attention; they’re composed, disciplined, and unforgettable. Whether you pick it up yourself, sit down and let the moment unfold, or have it delivered to your door, it lands the same way: hot, precise, uncompromised.

You can taste the time. You can feel the quality. There’s a level of care in the preparation that goes beyond technique; it feels personal. In a world of rushed kitchens and corner-cutting, this food stands tall. It doesn’t just satisfy hunger. It restores you.“

“3/23 another delicious dinner from Ikes! chicken parm sandwich. plenty for the two of us. Everything from salads, wings, sandwiches are delicious! service is fast and friendly. recently I have had delivery and the food arrived fast and hot. The hot roast beef sandwich is sooooo good!“

“Thank you to our local Fair Lawn Jersey Mike’s! After supporting our Girl Scout troop while selling cookies, they donated lunch to our girls. Smiles all around!“

“First-time buyer here! My husband visited the store for takeout, and we ordered the Turkey, Ham, and Cheese with LTM, salt, and pepper. Let me just say—wow! The sandwiches are packed with meat. At other sandwich shops, we usually buy a whole sandwich and split it into two meals each. Here, we’ll easily get four meals because of the generous size. We love a good deli sandwich every now and then, and until now, we hadn’t found one where the quality truly matches the price. We’ll definitely be back and will recommend this place to friends!“

“Everything they make is amazing. The sandwiches are bountiful. Fresh ingredients. My fav place“

““I’ve known this place for 26 years and hadn’t been back in 18. It hasn’t changed a bit — even the same owner and staff are still here. The decor is simple, the service is friendly, and they only serve one thing: Cuban steak sandwiches. Still as delicious as ever! It makes me so happy to come back and enjoy the same great taste. This place proves that having one great product is enough to last for decades“

“Delicious sandwiches! The kind you’d travel from afar for just one more taste. All Boar’s Head Products. Fresh toppings and the Best Submarine Bread all combine for that taste of perfection. Best subs I’ve had in all of Jersey.“

“I moved into the area recently and have gone to this location multiple times over the last year two years. Honestly, I’m not sure what it is, not sure who is doing what, but everybody who works behind the counter are some of the friendliest people in food service I’ve ever met! They are genuinely sweet people. Seriously, when you go in there, just strike up a little light conversation. They’re so nice! A pleasure! Every single one I’ve ever encountered behind the counter! Good job!! ☺️“

“Friendly crew behind the counter, fast service too. Oh, and pretty good sandwiches too. 👍🏻“

“desayunos deliciosos los batidos son frescos“

“Perfect breakfast sandwich stop if you’re staying in or around theater district. You can order at the counter, or order ahead online so it’s ready when you get there. Bagel breakfast sandwiches were killer— so good we came back a second day in a row on our trip! Coffee was nothing special, sandwiches were amazing. They package everything incredibly well so food stays hot and drinks don’t spill if you’re walking. Sandwiches stayed warm for an hour so we could eat them in the airport on the way home!“

“Theresa and Matty provided absolutely outstanding service! I came in for lunch around 11:40 AM, and even with a line of 8 customers plus online orders coming in—and being the only two there—they handled everything with efficiency and care. Each customer was served in a timely manner, and they never lost their friendly, kind attitude. By 12 PM, every customer had been served and left happy!! It’s rare to see that level of consistency under pressure. They both truly deserve praise and recognition!“

“Great sandwiches! Always fresh. Management and staff always friendly. The store is always clean when I go there. They really got it together there. I highly recommend!“

“😀 hey serving sarges now“

“One of my favorite places to order better than Blimpie sandwiches, Roberto’s, nice and clean. The owner is the worker and the greatest sandwich maker ever I don’t say this about most places but if you’re looking for a great and tasty sandwich, this is the place to go.“

“If you want that sandwich you know Subway is the only fresh place to get it! My kids love going to this location especially because of the clean , nice environment and the attentive staff who are friendly and get it right how we like it.
Even when we pick up food to take home they always make sure it's made neatly and never leaking or exploding . This location is a a favorite quick lunch for my kids and family!“

“Had a bad experience with a driver that picked up the delivery online. If you want the best delivery service, call the store directly because they will take very good care of you. They have their own drivers, so you can be assured that your food will be delivered fresh and safely handled. The owner made things right by making me a new sandwich and delivering it personally. Not many businesses would do that. I highly recommend patronizing this establishment .“

“This sandwich shop takes you back to a time when a real Italian Deli could make a hero. For me it's not just the cold cuts, but the bread that make these heros special. Starting with the mild Italian hero with the works. You won't be disappointed.“

“Madre Mía! This place is amazing! Simply spectacular! Anthony and his wife are so kind ! Food is delicious. Chef Jose Manuel is a very professional guy. Ambience is so relaxed and traditional. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I will definitely come back and much more often. Original Spanish Taste. You won’t get a great place like this in the area.“

“By FAR the best place to get a sub. Freshly sliced cold cuts, awesome service, and one of the friendliest places around !!“

“great service. awesome chicken cheese steak 😊😊😊😊“

“Great experience, service“

“Best Subs anywhere in the State of Jersey. You can’t find a better cheesesteak anywhere. The meat is so fresh & tender. Chicken cutlets also made fresh & delicious. All of the subs are great; my personal favorite is Turkey, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato mayo, oil & vinegar & spices. Fries w Cheese & gravy make a great side, if you can fit it. Girls like me born in 1970, love this type of old school atmosphere! Makes me feel young again! P.S. don’t forget to try the BLT’s.“

“I’ve been going here for years and absolutely love the fresh food. My go-to as of lately is the turkey- Italian spinach wrap. The veggies are so good too, it’s a great value for what you get and there are 2 people that work there who are amazingly kind, professional and wonderful customer service.

Vegetarian options: They have watercress!!! Amazing.

Dietary restrictions: I remember asking about the ingredients from the wrap last year and the woman easily shared with me.“
