50 Best Sandwich Shops near South Orange

“The sandwiches were good, as always; but, when you order online with specific instructions and they are not followed to the letter, then it’s not good. If you order wheat bread and you get white bread, that’s not cool; and then you order your bacon on the side of another sandwich, and you don’t get any bacon at all, that’s not cool!
Will I stop eating Jersey Mike’s Subs, Naah. The family members whose sandwiches arrived incorrect, well, yeah, can’t really speak for them.“

“Stopped in Saturday for the first time. We had to incredibly good subs and Potato salad. The owner is very nice, the place is immaculate and we will definitely be back!“

“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“

“The pastrami is really good“

“OMG! I enjoyed such a fresh sandwich! So excited this sandwich cafe has been created in my area!“

“I’ve been here several times. Each visit did not disappoint. I’ve ordered soup and sandwich each time. Each time I ordered a different sandwich. All of them were quite tasty. It’s always the same nice lady working here by herself. I definitely recommend if you’re out for a quick lunch.“

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

“Truly the best Eggplant sandwich I have ever had. SO tasty and SO filling.“

“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.“

“the food was amazing as always but the cashier kept loudly talking about how his job is boring, that there’s nobody to serve and i know how annoying food service is from experience but it made me uncomfortable to hear him complaining so vocally about it while serving us, like at least wait till we’re gone dude 😭“

“Super service and delicious food. We are lucky to have you in our neighborhood and Westfield! The picnic tables are even better especially when the weather is so nice. Gracias! 5 stars!“

“I love Jersey Mike’s sandwiches—they’re really filling and always taste super fresh. I usually order in-store because I find it better than using the app. The staff is nice, though sometimes the music can be a little loud. There can be a bit of a wait at times, but it’s never too long. It can get expensive if you’re ordering for a big family, but I still think it’s worth it overall.“

“Excellent sub being the best prices in the area.“

“Good Luck Harry! Store is bright & clean. Harry is a real nice guy. Very respectful, & down right honest. He takes pride in his business!“

“I called my order of loaded fries no chipotle mayo. Came in paid and left. I got to my destination ready to eat and there’s chipotle mayo all over. I went back and spoke to the young lady at the counter with the cooper hair. I told her I wanted a refund because I called in my order and it was wrong she did offer to make me another but I refused due to the fact that if my order was messed up to begin with instead of letting me leave with it, the young man and young lady with the braids knew it was wrong but still bagged it as if everything was correct. They didn’t even offer an apology for their mistakes. I understand that mistakes happen but it should’ve been corrected before I even got there. Time and gas wasted because of laziness.

Update. I would like to make an update to my pervious review. First I would like to say the manager Alejandro is the only reason I’m updating my review. He was very attentive with resolving the issue and making sure I had a better experience than better. His attentiveness and care for the customer is something that isn’t found with a lot of businesses. His customer service was excellent.“

“normally don’t write reviews for chain restaurants, but this subway in particular stands out because of the customer service they provide one employee stands out always he’s so friendly and even if im not in subway he makes it a point to say hi - so shout out to you niro“

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

“great food and the people are usually pretty respectful but no matter how many times i tell them im just a man with long hair they still call me a woman
like just give me my sandwich i don’t care that you’ve never seen a man with long hair jesus christ
show me one woman named marshall im actually begging you at this point“

“Fantastic little spot with amazing food. It's a great foodie spot, and who doesn't love a tasty grilled cheese! Very plentiful with vegetarian options. It's a very small spot in a parking lot next to a park with trails and a small pond. Gentlemen, listen up. On a nIce day, this is a perfect spot to bring your partner for a date. You'll thank me later 😉

Kid-friendliness: Park right next doot“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“desayunos deliciosos los batidos son frescos“

“10/10! Found this gem on DoorDash. The Fries are crispy and shoe string like love! The Mac salad is too fire it’s absolutely delicious. And my sub (I’m a plain Jane girly) just good old ham, cheese, s&p, mayo, o&v just how I like it definitely will be ordering from here again. Next on my list is the cheesesteak“

“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!! ☺️“

“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!“

“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 recommend all sandwiches but my favorite one is the chicken Caesar ciabatta sandwich. A salad but sandwich style. It’s so good it’s a must get. Workers there are friendly. I come here often for the corn muffins there the best I’ve ever had.“

“Tony Boys has amazing sandwiches but also generous and kind owners who give back to the community and schools. Their salads are good too but their hot sandwiches are phenomenal!“

“This was a go to place for me when I worked in the area. The MTB and the Jeter are delicious and the salads are great too. Charles is very organized and makes great food. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick bite.“

“It's always a pleasure to come here & grab some delicious food. They are very friendly & have a great selection of smoothies, sandwiches, breakfast & lunch options. I usually spend roughly $10-$20 bucks at a time, depending on what I'm in the mood to munch down on. That lemon chicken is 🔥 & the chicken tenders are crispy & plump. You'll find me coming through at least once a week. :D“

“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 .“

“very polite good customer service and The Sloppy Sub was awesome definitely a spot i will be coming back 🥪“

“Jersey Mike’s is a must. Very fresh.“

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

“Who’s ever idea It was to hire a bunch of Spanish ladies ready to work deserves a raise. I’ve been to this location more than once and everytime I go it’s always clean the ladies are very professional and attentive.
Constantly move around working. Sandwiches are good as well.“

“Great experience, service“

“I had a honey turkey with yellow cheese mayo on both sides n everything on it seasonings included just forgot to add onions but not too much (next time ;-) oh yes and oil and vinegar on the side ...also do not forget the onion and garlic Wise chips 😋, let me not forget to shout out the JOE TEA (they have all flavors btw) on the side, and let me tell you I have to say the best sandwich I have had in a while and very tasty for sure!“

“BEST FOOD AROUND! A++++++“

“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.“

“Not up to Jersey Mike’s standards. Did not have chicken salad, got tuna sub that was poorly made. Over stuffed with tuna, mushy bread. Only ate half.

Update March 2026: Been back 3 times since bad experience. They must have had a bad day then. Each time now food is good, well prepared, and staff is friendly and efficient. Thank you 🙏 for improvements!“

“I needed to order a very nice lunch platter for a friend’s Shiva and the owner Jackie and her son went above and beyond to make it happen for my friend’s and me. They not only accommodated my request on a holiday weekend but were genuinely happy to help me. I heard the sandwiches were fantastic and beautifully presented. Thank you again, Jackie, and the staff at this wonderful deli! I will forever be grateful for your “can-do” attitude and service.“

“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!“

“First time here and new to the area. I had no wait time. Smoke turkey and provolone sub was perfection. Soft fresh roll and all the veggies and meat was freshly sliced. I asked for specific items and they made it exactly like I asked.

Now the guy working that day can use some people skills (greet people, smile, saying thank you) but he did make an amazing hoagie. Someone just please tell him it’s ok to smile at paying customers 😁

The establishment has street parking, wide sidewalks and easy to see awning. Inside needs some cleaning, paint and new tiles. Nothing much to look more welcoming but the food is amazing, still.

No inside dining or bathroom. Some seats while you wait.

I also love the clear glass to see your sandwich being made. That’s so classic!

Will be back because summer is definitely for nice chilled subs.

They have hot food too!“

“the hour n something minute trip is well worth it! I got myself a pizza bag to keep my food hot for the trip home! I'll make a few calls for orders for friends on my way home! The whole ensemble is perfect! nice n juicy peppers, onions and enough potatoes for that little side snack, a little extra grease to make the bread just right, not dry and dogs cooked to perfection! when you make the trip be sure to call friends to take their order! you know they're homesick and sure could use a great memory!“

“Exxxcellent food, including ample portion size, all for very reasonable cost!“

“Come to this old fashioned place and you will have the best breakfast- home made style attended personally by the owner. Come and have great coffee and the best is…..the inexpensive price for a lot of food. Try the French toasts, omelettes, chicken parm over spaghetti. You will love it!!!!“
