Sandwich Shops near Elmhurst

“The food is great, but the cashier often messes up my order. Even when I specifically ask them not to add a certain item, they still manage to get it wrong, which drives me nuts. Sometimes I just deal with it, but other times I feel the need to point out the mistake directly. I try to be polite, especially to the people preparing my dish, and I feel terrible bringing it up. However, the cashier needs to do their job and pay attention to my requests. I always make it clear what I want on my sandwich. The employees are great and always try to please their customers since they try to redo it and basically made it better, but the cashiers need to improve. Smh.“

“The sandwiches are great and more than anything they have amazing customer support. I made a mistake when ordering one time online and ordered from this subway when I was over an hour away I came back in two days and they were able to provide me with the food I initially ordered that I never picked up, the food is always great. They work fast and I appreciate it.“

“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.“

“Good food - good people. Every dish is fresh and tasty.“

“DeFontes is one of those Brooklyn institutions that instantly reminds you why some places never need a refresh.\n\nI went straight for the Signature Hot Roast Beef and, in a moment of well justified indulgence, added the Steak Pizzaiola. Zero regrets. These sandwiches are unapologetically stuffed. Meat, cheese, sauce, seasoning, all layered with confidence and generosity that feels almost defiant in today’s portion-controlled world.\n\nAnd the bread matters here. It’s fresh, warm, and crisp in all the right places, sturdy enough to carry the weight of the fillings without stealing the spotlight. It’s the perfect vehicle for the kind of sandwich that requires both hands and lots of napkins.\n\nOrdering at the counter may look intimidating at first, like there’s a secret rhythm you’re supposed to know and have rehearsed. Don’t stress it. The service is quick, efficient, and genuinely friendly. The staff are happy to guide you through it, even if it’s your first time staring at the menu trying to decide how hungry you actually are.\n\nJust keep in mind that there’s no seating beyond a stand-up counter along the wall, so plan accordingly. This is very much a grab-and-go or eat-it-immediately experience.\n\nDeFontes isn’t chasing trends. It doesn’t have to. This is classic, expertly executed deli cooking that delivers exactly what you want and then some.“

“I lived then the street in 2005 and this is best sandwich in NYC. I’m in now LA and nothing compares. Awesome bread..“

“The Sandwiches just like in Florence !!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Been going to Faiccos for over 45 years now and nothing has changed thank goodness. The absolute best Italian cold cuts sandwiches,cheese and other specialities served by clean professional knowledgeable staff. The wrapping of the meats is a work of art in it self. Quality is amazing fresh and you can taste each item if you desire. The employees ability to cut tge meats so thin you can read the paper thru them still amazes me. Store is always very clean and workers are clean and well groomed important when they are touching your food. In 45 years never a problem never an issue
Always perfect just perfect.
Try tge home made sopresota or Italian from Italy mortadell or 8 different salami or a sandwich. Tge house made mottsorella is also amazing. Well worth the wait“

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

“Overall great place. Very simple, no frills, but the food is amazing. The Banh mis are thr best ive had and the pork, rice and salas is great as well.

My only wish is that they had some more vegeterian options since apart from the egg banh mi, there is nothing else. The other thing would be accepting card payments. But overall great food, service and prices.“

“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.“

“I cherish every visit here. Workers at La sandwicherie chelsea welcomed our family with open arms. Great ambiance with a nice vibe, friendly staff, and a clean & simple decor. Their meals maintain quality while costs stay reasonable. This place delivers a pleasurable experience.“

“From service to food, everything shows attention to detail. As usual, I found the sweet offerings most satisfying. Workers here enhance your meal with their service. Accommodating, unpretentious, and sincere. I haven't discovered a place this excellent in years.“

“I came in here with a friend a few months ago since we needed a quick dinner. I had two of the best sandwiches of my life. We split the burrata and truffle sandwiches and both were incredible. I've been back a few times and have never been disappointed.“

“The Sandwiches just like in Florence !!“

“We had a takeaway of those pastrami sandwiches and tuna salad which were awesome, so we ordered more after we finished the first batch.

We waited like 15-20 minutes in lunch time.

Madison Square park is 2 minutes away with some public chairs and tables.“

“Fantastic gluten-free bagels! Literally the best I've had. Great spreads: horseradish cream cheese and scallion cream cheese also the best I've even had. Ordered delivery and bagels arrived nice & hot & toasty.
Now I'm back home in Los Angeles after this work trip with my boss, and both of us crave these fine GF bagels.“

“Everything was so fresh and delicious“

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

“This place is small with a big taste,no lie one of the best sandwich spots I've eaten at and the prices are very reasonable.Good thing I don't live in the area I'd be tired of eating here so it's always a treat when I'm near.“

“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“

“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.“

“Steep prices but the sandwiches are extraordinary and the owner is a kind soul. The turkey is roasted in house and the softest juiciest I've ever had in a sandwich. By far the best gluten free roll I've had a sandwich on and no reaction to any cross contamination. We came here from across the country on our honeymoon and have found a place we'll be sure to come back to.“

“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!“

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

“Stumbled across the place during my walk this afternoon, popped in for a smash burger and fries and was delighted to find the food was excellent! 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!“

“A little gem. This small spot with a beautiful back patio squeezed in a group of 10 or so. The mushroom pizza was all we had but was 5/5 and worth a trip. Their dough is so light and pillowy but with crisp edges and a fantastic bite. The toppings on the mushroom pizza were perfectly seasoned and a very nice ratio (not overpowering the cheese or dough). Honestly though, the dough was special and is worth the trip to explore their other pizzas. Next time we come we will absolutely get a few pies and take home whatever is left. But if everything is as good as that mushroom pizza, there's small chance of leftovers.“

“Culture Lab is a awesome place. They had exhibits of swords and armor. They also had a concession stand as soon as you enter the building and they had concerts and concession stands outside in front of their building. Will be back to culture lab to check out the other concerts.“

“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!“

“Stopped in tonight, not very crowded which was great and the food was served super quickly. Loved every bite!

The highlight of the night was Lourdes the cashier/ attendant. She was so friendly and welcoming and attentive. She was able to recommend things on the menu and elaborate on the options.

While I was eating she kept checking in on me and my guest and walking around cleaning surfaces and tidying up the space. Amazing customer service from her. Would absolutely recommend this place and I hope anyone that stops in gets to meet Lourdes.“

“we loved it!“

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

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

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

“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!“

“It's a very old fashioned place. I was the only black person in there when I walked in, but was treated just as wonderful as anyone else. Cash only, the register is extremely old. (I remember seeing a similar one at a diner in Long Island, but they renovated and stored the old one in the basement.)The parking lot holds about 8 to 10 cars. It's not plenty of parking, but at least you can park without worrying about the meter. The servers are awesome. They really seem to know their job. As soon as someone gets up they wipe the table and then seat whoever is next at a table. I got the roast beef sandwich with cheese and onions double dipped and cheese fries. I asked the server which should I order between the onions rings and cheese fries and he picked the cheese fries. The food was fantastic and much cheaper than all the other restaurants that sell french dip. French dip is simply a roast beef sandwich that you can dip in a sauce that has beef stock with some seasoning. The drinks come in a paper cup, unless it's beer (which is served in a mug). I suppose it's less dishes, but it just looks odd compared to how the rest of the meal is served on small plates. The price for the sandwich and the cheese fries with tax came up to less than $20. I'm not complaining, give them a try.“

“Edith’s is right around the corner from my hair stylist, so I always treat myself after an appointment. The food is so good; I always try to get something new. My most recent visit, Lyla steered me toward the Turkey Hoagie, and it’s my new favorite sandwich. Thank you, Lyla!“

“The team makes even first-time visitors feel like regulars. Heaven on 7th Marketplace combines great cooking with excellent presentation. The staff maintained superior attention. All my selections demonstrate good flavor. The restaurant functions well and I'm glad I gave it a try.“

“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“

“The Picnic Basket NYC is always a fantastic experience. The kale salad is fresh, flavorful and perfectly balanced, and the chicken melt is my husband’s absolute favorite — warm, generous and delicious every time. Friendly service, great quality and consistently excellent food. Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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!“

“Amazing , it’s a cashless place“

“Excellent Subway. Ordered the sandwiches online using the FLBOGO discount. No fuzz whatsoever. Tasty sandwiches and prepared in my favorite way. Friendly staff. Just a smaller place with not many seats and no restroom. M1 bus stop right in front.“

“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.“

“if you want a real serious burger, go to Wrap &Run heavy burger, more meat than the bread.$9.95 no tax I highly recommend a cheeseburger with American cheese from Wrap &Run. 77th St. in Lexington Avenue I had a black iron burger from the theater District. It was awful. more bread than meat and it was small like a patty it said $9.95 and when I got my bill, it was $14.95 go to Wrap &Run you will be satisfied with a real burger not a party“
