50 Best Sandwich Shops in Brooklyn

“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.“

“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 the best neighborhood Banh Mi shop. My lover always gets the shredded chicken sandwich and orders one spicy for me, and gets one regular for himself. Great sandwich. I always end up just eating half, its alot of food, and he eats the other half. Ok, maybe 80% of the time. I do wish they had a spicier option, MORE SPICY PLEASE! They also do have some summer rolls, however with shrimp and pork, I pick out the pork and shrimp because I do not eat those and eat the rolls. Great bang for your buck.“

“Absolutely smashing sandwiches served up from tight quarters by unbelievably friendly people. I can’t believe I hadn’t stopped in here earlier. I will be back again and again.

They make every sandwich to order, asking you a few questions and taking notes as they go. It’s standing room only while you wait a few minutes for them to make it fresh. The sandwich was utterly delicious, absolutely what I’ve been craving. Miles ahead of a standard bodega sandwich and lightyears ahead of any chain sub shop.“

“the roast beef sandwiches are out of this world yummy“

“Their sandwiches are absolutely delicious. The sauce is literally magical but the flavor of the pork is also so, so tasty. My husband and I went a few days ago with our 10 month old daughter, she slept in the stroller the whole time so there is great atmosphere as well. I already can't wait to go back. Highly recommend!“

“Great roast beef sandwich served on a bun soaked with the beef juices. You eat with a knife and fork. Not fancy. Paper cups for soft drinks. Great fries and onion rings. The place has been around since 1938. All cash. No credit cards.
We make the pilgrimage whenever we find ourselves in Brooklyn.“

“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!“

“Classic Brooklyn joint serving one of the best roast beef sandwiches in town! But I would have to say the western burger also packs a solid punch. You can’t go wrong with any of the items here honestly. But our go to’s are always the roast beef sandwich, western beef burger, crown fritters, chicken wings, and orangeade drink! You also have the option to put cheese on anything! If you have a young one, ask one of the cashiers for a free ballon. If happens to be your birthday, you get to spin the giant wheel for a chance to win $5-$20 prize for next time use. Also, if you spend more than $45 per order, you can get a free pizza. The inside dining area seems like it’s still stuck in the 1990s, but I’m fine with that!“

“The sandwiches are amazing. The gluten free bread is very good and hard to find at old school places like these. Rob is the best! I accidentally forgot my backpack and I called the restaurant. Rob went outside and found it and held onto it so I could pick it up.“

“My family loves visiting this restaurant. The staff are friendly and welcoming, always recognizing us even if it's been months between visits. The food is mouth-watering, with appropriate portions where you are well fed without being overstuffed. The ingredients are both fresh and local, and every bite is extremely satisfying. I highly enjoy the grain bowl in particular, but you can't go wrong with any of their menu. Please do yourself a favor and visit this gem!“

“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.“

“Excellent Sandwich!! Def check it out Over 100 to choose from“

“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 ☺️“

“Ive been coming to Jimmy's for as long as I can remember. I wish I went more often, but life gets in the way. The service is impeccable; everyone is friendly, and professional. The prices are fair and the food (all of the food) is phenomenal.“

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

“This is an incredibly special place. The sandwiches are absolutely delicious, with good portions, very high quality ingredients and great execution.

Vibes are excellent and welcoming.

The food, for as incredible as it is, is so approachable. It was the type of meal I was inspired to wanna cook for myself. This is a must stop place if you’re around.

Sandwich pictured is La Bombolona.“

“Vegan food that makes love to your mouth! My first time having Jerked Seitan. OMG! Definitely worth getting with the avocado.“

“Delicious fresh breakfast sandwich to order. Got eggs, spicy mayo, turkey bacon, cheddar, on ciabatta. Comes with sliced tomato and arugula, which is a perfect touch. Order include a hash brown fried to perfection and ketchup (thoughtful because I used it for my sandwich as well).“

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

“sandwiches were delicious and so was the macaroni salad and the workers could not be nicer“

“Omg the sandwiches are great and big 20$ it’s worth every penny!!!!“

“Love the Wheelhouse. I usually come here for brunch and dinner. The sandwiches and pastas are always on point, melding richness and flavor. The Cuban sandwich and pulled pork sandwiches are my go tos. If I’m in the mood for messy, I’ll have the short rib sandwich - juicy and slightly sweet. I recently got the short rib cavatelli pasta and it might be my new fave. My boyfriend’s standard grilled cheese with a chicken cutlet is also excellent. But it is the chicken alfredo pasta that makes me wish I weren’t lactose intolerant.

The service is also attentive and friendly, makes you feel like a neighbor. Highly recommend.“

“This place is incredible. It's peak Chicago in all the best ways. An absolutely immaculate vibe with an amazing array of Chicago memorabilia, a very lively and friendly staff, and delicious food. I would live here if not for the legality of it all.“

“The #7 CHE Si DICE is off Da Hook!! Now THIS SANDWICH is the real “HAYA DO’N”“

“Tasty Burgers - Great host! Thanks for the nice evenings 😊“

“Food is always consistently good. Delivery is on time. Also, I called to try to get an extra added to my GrubHub order and the guy on the line figured it out for me even though grub hub wouldn’t let him add the order. Really cool staff 👍“

“Visiting my kid who is a member and stopped in. He goes every morning for his coffee to-go on the way to work. Great business model…love the membership. Coffee was yum, pastries are good too! Barista was friendly but seemed a tad overwhelmed and maybe could use a little help. The only other comment I would have is get to know the first names of your members and regulars. That’s what separates a Community focused restaurant from a Starbucks.“

“Great Jersey Mike's location. Staff was nice, sandwiches had perfect amount of toppings and spread. Not every location makes the sandwich the same and this location definitely was a top sandwich. Definitely will be returning to this location to get my JM fix“

“I’m salivating just thinking about their 🥪!!! They offer huge portions, fresh and high quality ingredients and now I’m hungry. 😋“

“The thoughtful decor makes dining here a feast for all senses. Every worker adds to the welcoming atmosphere. We chose multiple dishes for communal enjoyment. The service staff is friendly, food is satisfying, and amounts are generous. I'm already missing their food.“

“The food speaks for itself: stellar! This is the kind of spot that will soon have folks queuing up, I have no doubt. We got the Ashley’s 1 of 1 and the No Sleep Til Gravesend. The bread is super fresh and for me that’s a great start, you’d be surprised how places punk out on the bread. Next the flavors, for me the Gravesend tastes like a French dip with the au jus already in the sandwich- the roast beef is so flavorful! The Ashley is the perfect Italian sandwich if you love chicken but don’t really love cold cuts, and the dressing they use is the cherry on top! Try it before they get super famous and you have to stand on line to get one!!!“

“food is delicious. chopped chicken grinder. sooooo good.“

“Delicious sandwiches and cute outside patio in the back for good weather days! Plus the owner is awesome and I love supporting good people launching great neighborhood/local businesses!“

“I’m salivating just thinking about their 🥪!!! They offer huge portions, fresh and high quality ingredients and now I’m hungry. 😋“

“Fabulous shop and catering group! We have enjoyed several events catered by Campbell & Co. since their start up and they have always exceeded our expectations. It’s hard to say which we appreciate more, the fantastic food and cheese selection or their creative event displays. It is a pleasure to know that every detail will be attended to.“

“Best tuna in Williamsburg, with lot of mayonnaise!! (not like others that are putting little mayonnaise cuz it's expensive).And sandwiches are low priced (tuna sandwich is 6.50!), not like others that are charging for a tuna sandwich 9 or even 10 dollars..“

“I come here often whenever I have a client in Clinton hill and this crew never misses, specifically one. I sit in here and always love the company of the same woman who always calls me ‘baby’. She truly makes my day every time I come in and see her! I just know she’ll let me enjoy my meal in silence but never failing to greet me and say thank you whenever I leave.“

“There was a misunderstanding but it was dealt with in a cordial manner. I appreciate it ??

Vegetarian options: Veggie delight without cheese toasted and avocado ?

Dietary restrictions: I chose not to have cheese or any animal by product on my sandwich ? and was accommodated.“

“I’m leaving this review for my free cookie.
It’s an honest review though.
Buffalo chicken sub was delicious.
Customer service was top notch, bubbly bright personalities. I loved that.

Vegetarian options: I’m not sure“

“Mandy helped us host a virtual event with our clients. Absolutely incredible cheeses and she was perfect at hosting everyone on zoom. We’ve done a lot of virtual sessions and this was by far the best. Mandy is beyond knowledgeable without being pretentious, and strikes the right balance of leading the event while allowing everyone else to connect and ask questions. Thank you Mandy!!!“

“First time getting coffee here and it was great. So nice to have a new shop in Dyker where the coffee isn't burnt!! Inviting atmosphere, clean, bright, and beautiful friendly people. Welcome to the neighborhood!!!“

“I loved the breakfast sandwich that I got here! My go-to at any deli is a BEC with avocado and this is definitely one of the better ones I’ve had. Bacon was crisp, avocado was perfectly ripe and I got half of a large avocado, roll was chewy, and I added chipotle mayo for a little kick. It’s a good size BEC and this came out to $5. Can’t complain at all! And everyone who worked there was very kind. Will be back soon.“

“Great food. Fast service.“

“I found myself enjoying every moment. They give you your money's worth with big portions, fair prices, and tasty food. Their customer approach is excellent. This restaurant balances quantity with quality flavor. You'll appreciate the food here!“

“Soon as I walked in I can tell that it would be a good place to get a sandwich because it smelled really good.I got the turkey cheddar onion lettuce tomato mayo salt and pepper on a roll and two Gingerales for $10 cashSandwich was bomb!! And it was huge. He sliced it all fresh when I requested the sandwich. ?“

“Came back to my husbands hometown to watch the NY GIANTS GAME, stopped here for lunch to visit with the owner ( friend we grew up with) to have a REAL HERO ON A SEEDED ITALIAN BREAD FROM BROOKLYN! MY HUSBAND WAS IN HEAVEN & SO WAS I LOL Definitely coming back when I revisit!!!!“

“The food and portions are fantastic also great daily specials. I always have a fun time at Pier 53!!!“
