50 Best 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 most authentically delicious arancinE and sfincione this side of the Atlantic besides nonna’s! A sincere thank you to the friendliest hosts and staff as our group of fifty high school students and chaperones invaded their beautiful bottega! This place is amazing! Grazie di cuore in particolare allo staff!“

“There's a reason this place has been in business for over 100 years. Worth the trip to Red Hook just to eat a sandwich. Trust me and take my word for it, you will not find a better sandwich anywhere in New York City, Philadelphia, or probably even the whole East Coast. Again, worth a special trip. ?“

“Wonderful looking deli with really great friendly staff, and fantastic sandwich’s.
At the front is a mean looking butchery, head to the back for your sandwich’s. Had the Italian special, was special indeed. Probably, no definitely the best Italian sandwich I’ve had outside of Italy.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“The Sandwiches just like in Florence !!“

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

“The pastrami is on the leaner and brineier side but is still so delicious. I would say the bagel with salmon is the next best thing after the pastrami, where you an really taste the flavors of the salmon without the salt and smokieness overpowering the tastes of the bagel and cream cheese. The place is welcoming with a vibrant interior, making it feel like an old deli. The staff is very friendly and asks questions about your order to make sure its to your liking. Overall the place is real good but the price is a little steep for the amount of food that you get.“

“10/10 on all fronts. Great selection of items for purchase, a lovely staff and the best heros in Brooklyn. I’m not kidding, the cutlets just by themselves have actual seasoning and are so good. Sandwich creations are always perfectly balanced Great desserts and just a great neighborhood friendliness that is so missed in this area. Will always return.“

“Little hole-in-the-wall place with a ton of character and good food. The owner was super friendly and accommodating (let me order a breakfast sandwich after breakfast hours). We chatted while our order was made and it made for a nice personal experience. We felt valued although we were "just tourists".

Check em out, good food, good prices, good service.“

“Impeccable service, excellent food, and reasonable prices.

Personally I love the Parisian sandwich. Bread is always on point (which is increasingly hard to find), and the sandwich is simple yet incredibly flavorful, which I often put down to the quality of ingredients.

If you're looking for an authentic, well-run French sandwicherie, this is the place.

Thanks again“

“Best tasting sandwiches and best service Always big smiles“

“Amazing food and hidden gem near Brooklyn's Chinatown. You just try their egg and shrimp with the chili sauce. (I'm not sure what the real name of this dish is.) Most of the foods are out on display so that you can just grab them and pay. The seating area is pretty cramped.“

“I got the truffle ricotta bruschetta and it was delicious!!! The bread was so soft and the cheese / truffle was so creamy. My friend the meatball sandwich which was delish and perfect warm winter sandwich. Staff was very friendly and lovely as well 10/10 recommend.“

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

“Everything was so fresh and delicious“

“Where is the 6 star rating option? Such a great meal and a great experience. Almost 90 years the restaurant has been there, my family goes every time we return to Brooklyn for almost 40 years this is one of our traditions. Delicious beef with cheese.....mmmmmm!“

“What an amazing place. I moved to LIC months ago and immediately identified that Culture Lab was a great community hub. From motorcycles to art work to comedy shows, they have it all, and they support it all. I loved it so much I became a volunteer. If you want to experience LIC, the arts, and a great community of humans doing the right things, please check out Culture Lab!

And no, they didn't ask me to write this. I just love this place and what they are doing.“

“Best sandwiches bowls and smoothies in Queens!! Service is excellent, food is always fresh but most of all it is super delicious. I have never been in such a small place with such giant flavors. I wish I could give them a 10 stars ratting!! I recommend this restaurant 1000% so ?“

“Best sandwiches around!! <3
The owners are amazing. The vibe is always welcoming. It feels like if Cheers was a sandwich spot.

They give great recommendations too, if you have an idea for what you'd like but not sure which toppings pair the best. 🥪“

“Excellent BEC and the house sauce is fantastic. Def get the mini latkes with cheese! I want to go back and try everything! Can get packed and be a wait to find a seat but if you go at more off hours it’s not too long of a wait to sit. One of the best things I’ve eaten in a while!“

“Excellent turkey meatball sandwich, served super hot and fresh (they make everything to order so you never get a sandwich that’s been sitting around). Staff was awesome, and the cashier showed a clear passion for the food as his recommendations were detailed and genuine, and importantly the place was very clean. Looking forward to coming back at some pour!“

“In a world where hunger strikes like a relentless villain-sama, Subway stands as a beacon of hope, a sanctuary where heroes are forged. Today, I embarked on an epic quest to create the ultimate sandwich, and Subway did not disappoint!

As I entered the Subway dojo, the air was thick with anticipation. The Subway Masters, Johnny-San and Lillie-Chan in their signature uniforms, greeted me with the respect due to a wandering warrior. Their skills were unmatched, their knowledge of ingredients vast—a true testament to their training.

The assembly line was like the forging of a legendary weapon. Each ingredient was a sacred relic: the crisp lettuce, a shield to ward off the enemies of hunger; the succulent meats, the sword to strike with precision; the cheeses, a mystical aura that binds the sandwich together. And let’s not forget the sauces—each one a secret technique passed down through generations, adding depth and power to the creation.

Choosing my bread was the first challenge. I opted for the hearty Italian herbs and cheese—its golden crust symbolizing the strength of an ancient warrior. Then came the fillings, each layer a strategic choice in the battle for flavor supremacy. I could feel the spirit of a thousand anime protagonists guiding me, urging me to craft a sub that would stand the test of time.

The moment of truth arrived as I took the first bite. It was as if the heavens opened, and I could hear the triumphant music of victory! The flavors exploded like a finishing move in a climactic battle, each element playing its part to perfection. The sandwich was not just food—it was the embodiment of a hero’s journey, a testament to the power of customization and creativity.

Subway, you’ve done it again! My hunger was defeated, my spirit revitalized. This was no ordinary meal; it was a saga, a tale of culinary excellence that I will recount for generations. If you seek a meal that’s more than just food—if you seek an adventure—Subway is yours.“

“Got a bagel with lox here, one of the best I've ever had. Scallion cream cheese too. A little pricey but there's a cash discount. 2 tables/4 chairs inside so there is a little bit of room if you're on the go. Workers were friendly too!“

“I am vegetarian. I was pleased to see that the cheese was not sliced on the same machine as the meat. Employees were respectful and service was quick. They were attentive to my allergens and dietary restrictions and I appreciate that. I will definitely return.“

“Sandwich and pizza takeout style restaurant. They have few seating inside and outside. I had the “Famous No Fork sandwich. It comes with french fries and sauce and I added mushrooms. Together it filled me up. $16

I would go here and try the other items on the menu in the near future. I tried the Tuna fish sandwich - it's small in portion size and ok in taste- not the best. Tuna sandwich is also served with crispy French fries together with fries will fill up a small adult

Tried the personal pan pizza “Fork et about it”. Delicious thin slices. $14“

“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.“

“Amazing , it’s a cashless place“

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

“AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING ! I live not too far from this place, me and the wife decided to order some early lunch. She got the New Yorker and enjoyed it and said it was an amazing BEC. I had the Spring Bling and boy, that thang was fire !!! We ordered tater tots too, AMAZING (hash browns met their match). I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this spot!! Food was extremely fresh, flavorful and still HOT! Please check out this amazing restaurant, cliffside park we got a GEM!!“

“the best food and friendly spot ❤️“

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

“need a sandwich that won’t let you down in the rush of your lunch break? this place consistently gives the best chicken sandwich, there’s a ton of other ones to get but i’ve never strayed away from their hot pressed chicken melt. get a side of chili sauce for some spice 🌶️“

“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. !!!“

“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!“

“Me and my boyfriend came here a little before midnight and the space was bright and clean. The gentleman behind the cashier greeted us, answered all our questions and made any adjustment we asked for with no problem. Staff was super nice! The sandwiches and salad did not disappoint, we will be coming back for sure. Thank you!!“

“Deliriously delicious shop in the East Village! The sandwich rolls were the best I've tasted in NYC and perfectly toasted. My love and I enjoyed The Hog, a vermicelli and meat salad with the best fish sauce, and a lamb taco. I especially was impressed with the cleanliness and food handling. Go to "about us" to read the interesting story of the two friends/owners who we were so fortunate too meet at Wheelers in Sheepshead Bay.“

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

“we loved it!“

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

“Amazing place! Quality food, everything fresh, very friendly environment, multilingual staff and enough space for lunch/dinning. Prices very low and food portions are huge! Returning daily during my stay in NYC!“

“One of our favorites spots in Astoria. Their breakfast is excellent, but everything we’ve had is equally as good (can’t recommend the avocado chicken cutlet wrap enough). The guys behind the counter are also so nice and friendly. I love the selection—highly recommend.“

“My friends and I stopped here on the way out of NY because it was the closest and cheapest option that didn’t have bad reviews. Well, it turned out to be a great stop!! We were very pleasantly surprised. There’s almost no room for seating, and it’s very cramped, but the staff are all very kind and they make sandwiches fast. All of their options sounded good, and I was honestly conflicted. But, I’m happy with what I chose. Everyone was very familiar with each other, and it was just a welcoming place. The speed and convenience ended up being exactly what we needed.“
