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…“

“The service here is beyond excellent. The employees are very kind and respectful, and work in a very timely manner. When I mixed up my order, and realized that I didnt need pickles, they gladly took them off. I will definitely be returning to this place. Best place to eat if you don’t have a lot of time in all of NJ. All of their sandwiches are heaven on bread. Would highly recommend.

“Everyone go check out Dutch’s sandwich shop. They have great breakfast sandwiches and much more. The service is wonderful makes you feel welcome. The owner is a great guy and cares about his customers. He makes sure the experience is wonderful. I’ll definitely come back.“

“Everything was so fresh and delicious“

“I enjoyed the chicken pesto burrata, what a delicious sandwich! The person i was with got the lunchbox special, not a bite was left of either sandwich. I also recommend the ginger lemonade, it packs a little kick because of the ginger. I'll definitely come here again when I am back in NYC“

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

“My favorite Jersey Mike’s location!!
Friendly staff, professional service, nice and clean work areas in their open kitchen and always the freshest ingredients being displayed and used to make an array of delicious subs !!!
Can’t go wrong with any selection, my personal favorite is the number 9. !!!“

“Amazing , it’s a cashless place“

“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.“

“Good local sandwich place. The owners are honest people.
My recommendation: consider selling half sandwiches on the menu and charge little more than half price. You'll attract more customers that way, and the half sandwich is already filling. Thank me later bros.“

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

“Tony Boys is a sandwich lover’s dream! They have an insane selection of sandwiches — and as a vegetarian, I was so impressed by how many options there were for me. I went with friends, and the way we demolished our sandwiches says it all.

We tried the Eggplant Parm, the Angry Bird with eggplant, and the Lumpy with chicken — every single one was packed with flavor and seriously satisfying. My mouth is watering just thinking about it again. If you’re anywhere near this spot, do yourself a favor and go. You won’t regret it!“

“If you’re looking for the best steak sandwich, stop what you’re doing and visit this place.
I’m not getting paid to say this—just a regular customer who had an unforgettable bite. If you’re nearby and your stomach starts talking, walk in, order that sandwich, and thank me later. You won’t regret it.“

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

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

“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!“

“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!“

“Just ordered my full-sized #13 The Original Italian Giant sub through the Jersey Mike’s app.

The all female crew was just as busy when I got there ate half my sub and left.

I had no cash but tipped $1 / 4 quarters from my change purse, cause this crew earned it. Well done!!!

Thanks for making my sandwich my way (half to eat there and half to-go & eat later!

Tip them whenever & however you can, if you pay attention to the work that they always seem to be doing, they earn it on each customer that walks in there, however you order & they do such a good job, they always seem making their steady flow of customers great food just it was ordered.

Respect & thanks again. 🙏🏽 😎“

“This is such a great place. The food is wonderful the atmosphere is great and service is out of this world. I would recommend if your sick or just a soup lover to get their chicken and rice soup. Its thick and hearty with shredded chicken. The fresh mozzarella is like 10 dollars for this small ball but worth it. They make great spaghetti sauce and have wonderful sandwiches too but I'm cutting back on bread so I can't say I've had them that much“

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

“Good good best chicken cheese steak“

“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!“

“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 would bring a bus group from the Detroit area every year before the pandemic for tours in the New York area.
I would have to order 56 sandwiches with 3 to 4 different choices.
Our bus wouldn't arrive to our hotel until after 8:00 pm
(after your normal business hours)
Upon our arrival, someone would deliver our lunches that evening for the next day.
I have always appreciated the extra mile that they went for our bus group.
The sandwiches were always delicious.
I look forward to doing business with you in the near future“

“We visited this place for breakfast during our recent stay in Times Square. Overall, it’s a decent spot for breakfast or lunch. They offer a wide variety of dishes on their menu. We opted for a veggie wrap and an egg sandwich with cheese. The coffee, however, was quite ordinary. Not much seating available inside.“

“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.“

“If you haven’t been to PrimoHoagies in Wayne, NJ, you’re seriously missing out. From the moment you walk in, the place smells like fresh-baked bread and spices — basically what heaven must smell like. The staff is always friendly, fast, and incredibly efficient, even when it’s busy (which it often is — for good reason!).

Now let’s talk about the food. Every hoagie I’ve tried here has been next-level good. The meats are always sliced fresh, the rolls are soft yet sturdy enough to handle all the delicious fillings, and the toppings are crisp, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. I highly recommend the Italian Diablo if you like a little heat, or the chicken cheesesteak if you’re looking for something hearty. And don’t sleep on their Sharp Italian — it’s a classic for a reason. The manager is super friendly! The staff is amazing!!!

What really sets this location apart is how consistent they are. Whether you’re grabbing a quick lunch or catering for a group, they nail it every single time.

Pro tip: order ahead online if you’re in a rush — it’s super easy and always ready on time.

PrimoHoagies in Wayne is the kind of place that turns a sandwich into an experience. Easily a 10/10!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food! Had a turkey & cheese sandwich that was enough for both me and my spouse. Also had the Italian cheeseburger and it was amazing. The teas in the fridge was great too. My grandparents had an Italian hot dog and a tuna fish sandwich as long as my arm, both were great. Will definitely be back!“

“My best friend of over 30 years introduced me to this spot. She passed away in Dec. Of 2022 But I continue to go to Montclair DeliIt's become my favorite place to eat. Their food is amazingly delicious and the service is great. They make you feel like family.“

“😀 hey serving sarges now“

“Muy buen servicio y el desayuno muy bueno ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I love this outlet! No matter who is making your sandwich they always are super attentive. I am a repeat customer since 2 years and they even make better sandwiches on doordash deliveries if you request something extra. Kudos the outlet owner and their team!“

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

“Absolutely amazing experience, always come here, very nice people, very quick service and food is always fresh and delicious, they make best vegetarian pizza ?. Give it a try ?. Best of all is they have prayer room

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian pizza ?. And sandwiches“

“Great experience, service“

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

“5 STARS First time there . Ate half of a half & very large portions Tuna w/Swiss let tom, onions peppers oil & vinegar. Best in a long time. Very friendly staff & place very clean. Would deffinitly recommend.Jersey Mikes. I think they also deliver!“

“Everything is good but the owner has to fix the toilet flapped chain. This is the second time in 2 months that I’ve been there and I found the bowl of the toilet dirty because the chain of the toilet’s handle don’t pull nothing. Also, the liquid soap bottle is empty and the paper toilet dispenser is empty.

Kid-friendliness: The owner and their helpers are respectfully and friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: The store ground it’s at the same level of the sidewalk.“

“The owner and staff are relatively friendly. The business does not seem to get much incoming traffic. They do have regulars, which is good. Their menu is a fairly decent size and selection. The environment is quiet, peaceful, and very clean! They offer a variety of bottled beverages, sides, chips, and a small selection of desserts. My dad and I ordered the 24-inch Buffalo Chicken Cheesesteak, which was chicken with buffalo wing sauce and blue cheese sauce. The buffalo sauce had a kick, although it was not too spicy. The blue cheese sauce was creamy and shockingly tasty. This especially surprised me since I do not like blue cheese, and I enjoyed theirs. The owner was nice enough to offer lettuce, tomato, and onion. We opted out since my dad does not eat any of those. Otherwise, I would have added them. I was also unsure if they would have put them on only half the sandwich. The size we ordered was the largest of the three sandwich sizes.The three sizes are Small, Primo, and Whole. The sandwich was considerably delightful. The bread was warm, fresh, and toasted. The chicken seemed to be grilled white meat; particularly, I believe it was breast meat. In fact they even put a great portion of chicken within the sandwich. The buffalo sauce was not too spicy, just a little kick and pretty tolerable. My dad felt the drink he had with his half-help relieved the spice and felt the drink was needed to help eat the sandwich to avoid any spice. The blue cheese was creamy and really tasty, as previously mentioned. The prepacked dessert(the killer brownie company "flavor kitchen sink")was definitely not the highlight of this place. I felt it was slightly soft and crunchy. Just particularly unappetizing, and I would not get it again. Overall, the experience was quite enjoyable and pleasant. It was nice to try a new place while exploring a new area!“

“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.“

“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!! ☺️“

“we ate here today the employees were very friendly and polite! food was delicious as usual“

“BEST FOOD AROUND! A++++++“

“Staff and food were both great! Definitely would go back.“
