50 Best Sandwich Shops near Howard Beach

“I was visiting friends in NY, and on the day of my return to FL, my girlfriend took me to Panino Rustico, where I met JACK, he was excellent and authentic New Yorker, with accent and all (adorable).. The menu choices are excellent, we had truffle fries, I had the P48 Panini (steak, mozzarella with peppers & onions) and to cap off as a desert, I had the Iced Nutella Latte... All were excellent. I love a Hot Panini and it was perfect, flavors were cheesy perfect. Even the ambiance was charming and the Service was impeccable. I truly cannot say enough. So when you go, say HI to Jack!! The address is 161-16 Cross Bay Blvd., Howard Beach, NY 11414“

“I’ve been coming here for months, and it’s easily one of my go-to spots for a great meal. The wraps are always large, flavorful, and very filling - definitely worth it if you’re hungry. I also really appreciate how easy it is to customize; if there’s a specific ingredient you don’t like, they’ll make the adjustment without you having to pick a whole different wrap. The balance is perfect too - never overly sauced but never dry either. On top of that, the staff is always super friendly, which makes the experience even better. Highly recommend!“

“Loved the soup. Potatoes 🥔 were great and soda is plenty.“

“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 had the Pastrami sandwich it was delicious. My husband had the Italian hero, says it's the best one he ever had. Friendly entertaining sando guy. We are visitors to NY, and this is exactly what we were looking for. Thanks guys! Will definitely come again“

“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.“

“The Sandwiches just like in Florence !!“

“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.“

“10/10 How can a place be this gorgeous and still serve the simplest food that’s somehow this good?

The best chicken salad sando I’ve ever had was here. No question. And don’t even get me started on the pancakes… They barely had any blueberries in them, but somehow they were SO. GOOD. Like… how is that even possible?! Someone explain. 🫐🥞🤍“

“I went to a this deli on my bday trip, and I’m not exaggerating when I say it completely ruined every other deli sandwich for me.

Small place but seriously mighty. No fluff, no gimmicks, just unreal, farm-to-table food done right.

The meatball sandwich? I think about it daily. Perfectly seasoned, rich, and messy in the best way. The kind of sandwich you don’t forget. And the Burrata sandwich was just as incredible, packed with flavor and made with so much care you can taste it in every bite.

You can tell the ingredients are fresh and thoughtfully sourced. It makes a difference.

This place puts every other deli shop to shame. If you know, you know.

Already planning my next trip back, mainly for that sandwich.“

“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 !!“

“Great place, highly recommend. Everything tastes so good. Very classically French.

I had a large 17 person order. They forgot 1 sandwich. But they made it more than right! They fixed the order and gave me a free sandwich and 2 orangina as consultation. Amazing service!!!!

Also they write name labels for u when u pickup order online. Great for offices!“

“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!“

“I loved my bacon egg and cheese I have been eating them since I was 4 or 5 years old and I never thought I’d see the day where they’re gourmet and almost 20$ but honestly it was so good I want to go back again today !!!!! I think right now that’s my favorite one I got the wrap ugh it was so good !“

“Tasty, reasonably priced, no frill sandwhich shop. I crave for a simple Italian but it is surprisingly hard to find one that isn’t $18+, Sub Hubs italian is at $15 with free chips which is a great deal to how tasty it is. I WILL BE BACK.“

“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 !!“

“Cute spot with both indoor and outdoor seating. The sandwiches are good but I wish they came with some chips or a side for the price - they also take ~20 mins to make so be prepared to wait. But both sandwiches (Chicky and Dill Party) were very good with lots of fillings and sauce and flavor. A solid option for lunch as the name suggests!“

“I Love this place because the food is Really Good Here I Like the Workers At This Restaurant And I make a new friend at This Restaurant his Name is Mohammed And it's A Very Nice Place and The People and Everybody is great here and it's very clean and yhr place is Nice“

“Little Honey has fabulous food, a fabulous clean and bright vibe, and incredibly courteous and qualified staff. On two separate occasions, they not only accommodated our large family for brunch, they also cheerfully rearranged tables to fit our group plus the stroller for our daughter's infant daughter. They get my highest recommendation.“

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

“Everything was so fresh and delicious“

“I read the service loan not because the service staff was an issue, but I am sick and tired of being penalized for using cash. I didn’t realize I went to the counter. I made my order selected everything and then I was told if I need to pay cash. I need to go to a kiosk. Annoying because now I have to go through all these menus to figure out what I just ordered feed cash into machine wait for that to come out. Totally unnecessary step and unfortunately something that would make me not want to stop here because they added a layer of complexity. It wasn’t necessary. Now I’m sure by the tone of my review that you could probably tell how old I am but that’s fine by me. I like walking into an establishment explaining what I want paying cash and walking out. It’s that simple but yet this isn’t. That being said, the food is fabulous so if the kiosk doesn’t bother you and you never pay cash then so be it.“

“Love the sense of community, it's a great space. A local friend suggested we check out Culture Lab and we'de glad we did. We caught a free concert and the gallery space had a ln exhibit on drag fashion. It was a fun early evening, our kids enjoyed the music.“

“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!“

“I order online regularly & I have never been disappointed in the quality of the food, speed & efficient delivery from Sandwell. Will continue to order online & I have referred Sandwell to others with a wide variety of preferences. My new favorite go to delivery place!“

“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.“

“Delicious Breakfast Poutine!!!“

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

“The vegetarian pizza here is absolutely incredible; fresh, bursting with flavor, and the best I had in NYC. I honestly wish I had found this place sooner, as discovering it on the last day of my four-day stay was a missed opportunity. Appreciate and thanks to the gentleman for pizza, I would highly recommend visiting this place.“

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

“Finally made it .. after a few weeks trying to go when it wasn't crowded ( yes it does get crowded) .. pickup a Tori katsu Sando .. which was amazing,the bread was soft , Tori katsu was moist and the sauce simply amazing.. now I would have given a 5 stars if they would have sprinkle dashi furikake ( which they did offer it to ) on the ribbon fried potato 😢 .. non the less I will return for that tamago Sando .“

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

“This is ✨THE BEST✨ bagel sandwich I’ve ever had!!! I cannot emphasize enough what a picky, particular person I am, especially when it comes to food. Prior to finding Shelsky’s, I had basically given up ordering lox bagels because either the quality of salmon wasn’t up to par or the ratio of ingredients was off (WAY too much cream cheese, not enough salmon, etc.). I am a small woman, and I find that most bagel sandwiches are also way too huge to comfortably fit in my mouth lol and/or everything slips out and becomes annoying and messy to eat.

As soon as I tried a lox bagel from Shelsky’s, I new this would be the only place I could ever order one from again 🥲 Their bagels are slightly smaller than the average giant NY/NJ ones in a way that I find makes it easier to eat, perfectly chewy but also still crisp enough on the outside. Their smoked salmon is truly the best I’ve ever tasted and is as smooth as butter. The ratio of cream cheese to salmon to has been mastered, and the red onion is sliced thin enough to make Paulie from Goodfellas proud. It’s the attention to these small details that truly creates the ideal sandwich. My only wish is that they had a location in NJ where I live! As a central Jersey resident, I also appreciate them using the proper name of porkroll for their breakfast sandwich 😊

PS the manager Ethan runs a tight ship (compliment)! He is competent, charismatic, and clearly cares about what he does. I think that makes a huge difference from the top down in a food establishment. I have enjoyed chatting with him ☺“

“we loved it!“

“We catered a picnic for 25 people from them. The team went above and beyond, very communicative, thoughtfully asked how and what guests enjoy, worked with us to craft the perfect set of sandwiches… then came the actual day. They put together a very easy to transport box setup. I was just as enamored with that as I was with the food itself. Nothing shifted, spilled and arrived exactly as was packed.

The sandwiches were a huge hit with creative combinations that hit your taste buds in all the right ways. We had all ages enjoy them, from
5 yr olds to 70 yr olds. Huge thank you to the team for making my wife’s 40th picnic birthday a success!“

“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!“

“These sandwiches are the real deal! Had a chicken cutlet hero made by Jonathan and it goes toe to toe with any sandwich shop out there. Jonathan was awesome. He was nice, professional and most importantly made an amazing sandwich! This place is a must go to and I most definitely will be going back!“

“Love the sandwiches here—they’re large enough to cover two meals and they’re made with really quality ingredients! There is a little outdoor seating in the front which is nice. Everything is super tempting to buy“

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

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

“Great people at the counter and helping with pickup. Thanks for just being kind and welcoming on a hard travel day.

We tried the BEC (bacon, egg and cheese) on Croissant and it was delicious! The croissant was hot and fluffy. The bacon was crisp and the cheese was warm and melty. We all split one and had to go back for another. I also tried the black drip coffee — it’s standard but has a good dark roast flavor. I drink americanos usually, so this was a bit dark for me but personally it’s way better than a black coffee at Starbucks.“

“Amazing , it’s a cashless place“

“Honestly, this place is so slept on... Krave It has the best pizza in Bayside— by a LANDSLIDE. I love that they use unbromated flour and I appreciate that every piece (even the specialty slices with many heavy toppings) has great structure, no flop. Thin & crispy crust, great ratio of sauce and cheese. I also love how clean the restaurant is. They have some incredible specialty slices that I never knew I needed in my life until I tried them! Especially the “Desi Boy” slice and the “white truffle chicken cutlet” slice. I also have to mention their vodka slice with sesame crust 🤤 Everything in this place is high quality, even their regular slices. Their sandwiches are pretty incredible too, and you can tell that the bread is fresh made in house— you don’t feel bloated or overly stuffed after eating them! The owner is super friendly and even gave us a couple extra slices to try to complete our “pie” when we had already ordered a small variety of slices. The staff are all very friendly and it feels very comfortable and less stuffy than some of the other pizzerias in the area. Happy to give this place my business. Give them a try, you will be back for more!“

“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.“

“The staff are welcoming and kind, they went above and beyond for my daughter and I. Definitely a place I would return to and recommend to others.“

“This the best Subway restaurants in Queens, NY. They build great sandwiches and do their best keeping the ingredients fresh!The staff great you as you arrive and after getting food there a few times they will remember you. The manager and staff are polite, pleasent and are excellent in serving the customers. They try their best to keep the eating area clean, but there are some very sloppy patrons that leave all their refuse on the tables, but the workers clear away quickly. I try my best to come here only for my sandwiches... Thank you for being wonderful☺🥰“

“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!“
