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.“

“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.“

“Amazing everything. They’ve been around for over 40 years for a reason.“

“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 best Italian sandwich you can ever get in your whole life. Very delicious and the quantity is really generous to the point I divided it in 3 steps. Everything is Italian there and the workers are really nice and welcoming. 100% recommended!“

“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.“

“Smothered Mexican influenced sandwiches?! I mean.. it’s a yes from me. The bread is a wonderful French baguette that comes from another great spot in Williamsburg but you’ll have to ask them for their source I won’t spill it here. You can choose between 3 meats you want on your sandwich we picked chicken and spill the sandwich cause we also order nachos which were also great. I would give this place a visit I’ve never seen/had anything like it and it was very satisfying.“

“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“

“The Sandwiches just like in Florence !!“

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

“The BEST sandwich in NYC. Thank you for bringing fresh and homemade foods to Brooklyn.“

“This place is such a find!! My family and I just wanted some good, well priced sandwiches, and we feel like we struck gold with Shamas Deli! The owner was so kind, and the sandwiches are top notch. Every time we make the trip up from Atlanta, we will be sure to stop by!“

“This place ended up being such a pleasant surprise. The menu had a really nice variety without feeling overwhelming — plenty of different meat cuts, cheeses, salads, sandwiches, and lighter options, so it felt easy to find something that matched whatever mood you’re in.

We started with the French onion soup, and it was honestly one of the better versions I’ve had in a while. The cheese on top was perfectly melted and flavorful without becoming too heavy, and the balance between the broth and onions was done really well. A lot of places overload the onions to the point where the soup loses its depth, but this one kept everything balanced and comforting.

We also ordered a panini-style baguette sandwich, which was fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor. The bread had a great texture, and the mix of vegetables paired really nicely with the vinaigrette and mustard dipping sauces. The sauces actually stood out because they added flavor without overpowering the sandwich itself.

The atmosphere made the whole experience even better. The bright interior, cozy setup, and French snacks lining the walls gave the restaurant a charming café feel that felt both casual and inviting. It had personality without trying too hard to be trendy.

Another highlight was the staff. Everyone was incredibly polite, patient, and genuinely helpful when it came to recommendations. Even with the place staying busy, the food came out surprisingly fast, which made the experience feel smooth from start to finish.

And the Nutella crepe absolutely lived up to expectations. They definitely didn’t hold back on the filling, and it made for a really satisfying dessert to end the meal.

The only small downside is that indoor seating is limited, so I could see it becoming crowded during peak hours. Still, between the quality of the food, the welcoming atmosphere, and the friendly service, it’s definitely a spot worth returning to.“

“Wow!! I’m from France and was craving a Parisian style sandwich - so glad I found this place, it brought my right back to France. I had the smoked duck sandwich and it was so good. The place is very cute and they’re very friendly!! Will become a regular spot for me for sure“

“Caveat, I did go here pregnant after fasting for 15 hours for a blood test so this is a very biased review. I had the chicken parm on the rosemary potato focaccia. The bread was fresh. Sandwich was warm. It felt like a hug. It was just what I needed. Very small seating area so definitely more of a togo spot but I was ravenous, undeterred and a bit delirious so inhaled the sandwich there and then got a Nutella filled donut to go.“

“The Sandwiches just like in Florence !!“

“when a cafe can lasting almost 100 years. It’s already mean some things. Although I went there earlier, but I still have too late in line for about 10 minutes to get a seat. Immediately, I was attractive by my next seat orders of the fries. It looks so comforting in the cold days. I have a small appetite but just after a workout so I asked protein rich meals. I got the pastrami is so tender and delicious Just right amount what I need.“

“The wait to order here on a weekend morning is a bit obscene, however the sandwiches are so very good and the desserts are not to be missed! Even though the line is long I think the staff and customers do a great job of handling the crowd and doing their best to open up the tables when you are finished.“

“Everything was so fresh and delicious“

“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.“

“We ordered a cheesesteak sandwich. Bread was fresh, wasn't oily at all and the melted cheese over meat was delish.
What captivated me more was the level of service for a sandwich store. All the workers were super NICE. My son had fun drawing on the chalkboard and was offered a free candy. Thank you for the hospitality. Will come back to try the other items on the menu.“

“I always come in the afternoon and evening but the employees are a bit rude and not attentive to details, i was out late with my husband and we were shocked to see it open by 12.30am, we were told later its 24hours.
The manager on duty moe was great, pure example of great customer service and great with people, amazing multi tasker, he was doing our orders and food delivery orders at the same time.
Store was clean and music was beautful, atmosphere was great. I actually sent my husband twice last week late in the night to make sure we are served by moe.
Thanks.again moe. You are the bestq“

“food was good. Checkout and payment were very questionable. Cash ONLY! NO RECEIPT. Unknown amount charged and paid. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE AMOUNT BEFORE PAYING WITH YOUR CASH !!“

“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!“

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

“Delicious food for breakfast and lunch. I've had the Buongiorno breakfast sandwich with eggs, prosciutto, truffle cream and arugula, it's so good yummy. The pizza is also delightful and the crust is thick. Definitely check it out!“

“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!“

“I attended an event that had rented this space. It is very clean, well lit, everything with the space seemed to be working well. It is in a complex that faces a parking lot. My only suggestion would be better signage as to where the entrance is at. (Hint: look for the blue door)“

“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 ☺️“

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

“I was truly impressed by the food - every bite felt like a perfect balance of flavor and texture. The presentation was stunning, and the ingredients tasted so fresh. You can tell the chef cooks with passion. I'll definitely be coming back for more!“

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“I order from here a few times per week because I work in the neighborhood and Sandwell has become one of my favorite spots on the UWS. Creative and delish sandwiches (especially the Toasted Rivalry tuna melt please make that permanent lol) and the employees are very sweet.“

“Five stars all the way around. I’ve been in love since I first walked in. From the staff to the contractors that eat there it’s always a vibe. Yasmine is adorable and goes above and beyond for her customers. 💕🥰 lots of the to the management and staff“

“I LOVE THIS PLACE! Been working in Midtown for years and this is by far my coworker and Is favorite spot. Delicious sandwiches, fabulous staff, and the tastiest homemade aioli east of the Mississippi. Would recommend for dine in or out, for big or small, and for individual or team bonding outings! Perfect for every occasion!! Honorable mention to the Prosciutto di Parma. MUAH“

“we loved it!“

“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!“

“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!“

“An absolute gem! The staff is so friendly, and very knowledgeable. We tried the World Famous Cheeseburger pizza -aka the heart attack- and boy was it so worth it! From watching it be made to fighting through my last few bites, it was so outstanding that it had me coming back for more. A gooey fried egg, to the Chipotle mayo, just well put together. We also tried the new Care Package pie where we tried a bit of all the chicken pies, and it was a fun experience. A little taste of everything giving us a great understanding of the creativity that Krave has to offer. We will be back to try the sandwiches, wings, and new burgers! A must try 👌🏼“

“Ordered delivery a few times. This place is a savior when you need dinner working an overnight shift. The cheese burgers are amazing and the coffee is amazing as well. The delivery guy are amazing. This place is amazing and I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Highly recommend.“
