50 Best Sandwich Shops in Cincinnati

“I loved it here. I'm sad I don't live closer. The chicken salad was really good, but something about the atmosphere was really something else. The inside of this place exhudes love and pride in what they do. It's kind of crazy to see that these days.. Someone has passion there in their little chicken salad store. I love that so much.“

“SO DELICIOUS! Will definitely be back!“

“My wife and I had the absolute pleasure of having Dan take care of us today. He's running the store alone and still provides the best customer service. This man needs to be handsomely rewarded for his work. My food was hot and delicious. Thank you Dan, Because if you this is the ONLY penn station ill be eating at in cincinnati.“

“they have very nice and kind workers there! it was very clean. they were very quick to make my food. they were just very friendly and I really appreciated them all“

“Firehouse has great subs!“

“This place is by far the best eatery in the entire Cincinnati.💯 The food is always delicious, fresh, hot and very addictive. The staff are friendly, the line cooks are on point and the guy on the grill is a BEAST.💪🏾 Keep up the great work y'all l.“

“Go here often when I'm out doing Instacart an love the staff here. Always has such a great atmosphere in evenings when I come an the employees are fantastic as well. They're wonderful to talk to an remember my normal order as well. Will continue to be a regular spot because the food an service is great an it's in a convenient area for me as well.

Parking: Kind of a tight parking lot but the evenings there's a bit more parking available“

“Service, cleanliness, food! All you can ask for. Never disappoints!“

“Just visited the Subway on Princeton-Glendale Road, and wow—what a great experience! My sandwich tasted incredibly fresh, and every ingredient felt like it was prepared with attention. But the highlight was the service. Hims greeted me with a smile and made my sandwich exactly the way I imagined it. It’s the kind of service that makes you want to come back again. If you’re in West Chester, this Subway is definitely worth the stop!“

“omg my sister and I ate there today the best grilled cheese I've ever had highly recommended 👍great waitress ect...“

“Today was my first visit to Izzy's and it definitely will not be the last. They get you from the moment you open the door. The smell and the warm welcome. That was enough to make me want to come back. But then I got the Ruben. I feel like I need to share this to help explain how great this ruben was, I am going through chemo treatments right now, and one of the side effects is a very sensitive mouth, like no hot (temperature) no spicy food, no acidic foods. So as you could imagine, that Ruben tore my mouth up. But it was so worth it. It hit the spot. I'd order another one tomorrow if I wasn't 2 hours away. We'll be back. For those potato cakes, apple sauce and another Ruben. And! The great service.“

“When a deli has two whole pages dedicated to different iterations of the world best rueben, you know you’re in for a treat. \n\nI had the turkey rueben, which was great. The rueben comes with a potato pancake, or switch it to another side if you prefer (definitely just get the potato pancake). \n\nAs stated on their website, some of the equipment and seating may have changed throughout the years, but they are still serving the original recipe from 1901.“

“I don't get Penn Station like I used to. Older and can't handle the calories as often as I'd like. But when I want a Reuben, I go straight to Forest Park Penn Station. Haven't been disappointed yet. I get extra meat, extra cheese on the multigrain roll. Scrumptious! That multigrain roll is what you need. I usually pick up at the window. I have eaten inside. The place is clean and the people were friendly and professional. And the bathroom was clean! Service at the window was just as inside. I don't have a complaint about the price cause everything everywhere is high. My only complaint is why have restaurants stopped cutting sandwiches? If you're driving or just not going home, you have to hold the whole thing to take a bite. Please cut the sandwiches/hoagies.👍🏾“

“I love it, but I don't know the fruits in English very well, and it's complicated and makes me very nervous. But there are always people who help you. Thank you! And how delicious! If I could eat this all the time, believe me, I would. Excellent food!“

“staff always cares about Celiac Allergy and we can actually eat tasty food ❤❤❤“

“I love this Penn station it feels like family when I come in the workers are very kind it’s just a great experience red Bank“

“Friendly service, very clean, great family place and delicious food!“

“I ordered the Angus beef hamburger & it was one of the best I’ve had in Cincinnati & definitely the best that I have had at that price point. I liked the way they had the pickles & Dijon mustard on the side, I used both & the pickles seemed homemade. My side was coleslaw & that was delish as well. I ordered online for pickup & even though they had a lot of cars in the drive through, my order was made quickly. I definitely recommend!!“

“Best Subway EVER.

You WILL be pleased with how clean it is as you watch your food get prepared, Then top it off with perfectly baked cookies.. amazing. 10/10.

I also love the meatball/onion Saturn picture on the wall, it makes me smile.“

“I don't generally give reviews of places, but this is a must!! We went in for the advertised gluten free bread, we ordered and my husband requested that the first person change their gloves to eliminate cross contamination, that's when I realized that this was a mine field and started looking for all the requests we would need to make to keep him from getting contaminated. I didn't even have to ask!! They brought the sub out wrapped up, changed gloves, wiped the counter, got a new knife, put the sub on a wrap to transport it down the line, and placed the knife on the wrap as well, second person changed gloves, when he asked for mayo asked if packets were ok since the spreader and mayo were not safe. I want to cry, I am so happy with the care they took, the sensitivities to the hazard that he faces was phenomenal!!!“

“We went based on Izzy's top ranking for steak and looked forward to a special steak meal with dear friends. Izzy's service was amazing, drinks, sides, beef bourginon were great but compared to other top steak houses we were let down. The ribeye was not as thick as expected and not the quality of beef as expected. No steaks were offered with bone in.“

“I have had to leave a negative review on this store before but everything was like night and day today. I care about customer service because my family owned several restaurants years ago in Florida and I know the importance. From the moment any customer walked in the store, Dan immediately acknowledged each and every one of them. Dan is exactly the type of employee I always wanted in my stores in fact, I recommend having Dan train all of your employees if he doesn't already. Thank you Dan!“

“First penn station I’ve went to that was different then my usual. The place was super clean. I was greeted as soon as I walked in the door. My food was made right. It was made fresh. And both the man and women with the wrist brace on made sure my sub wasn’t sloppy. I didn’t have sauce dripping all over or meat falling out. The drink dispensers were clean and free of old sticky pop. Both were quick friendly and it was an overall great experience.“

“Just wish there was one closer to me!! Love their chicken salad & the cookies!!“

“Food was great, the young man that took my order was polite. Although I’ve never a manager threaten to cut off someone’s fingers because they forgot to add a seasoning to a sandwich, then threaten to send them home if they forget again. If someone forgot something or messed something up, it happens, seems to me the missing seasoning was caught before they finished the order so there wasn’t any issue. Praise in public, criticize in private. Small restaurant with everyone in earshot, everyone heard the comments from the manager to the whom I believe was a fairly new employee. Other than that, food and service was great.“

“Great food but this one older lady doesn’t know anything. Like if I ask a question about the dressing or something you should be able to answer it not say I don’t know I don’t eat it. 🤦🏼‍♀️ you don’t have to eat it just tastes or look at the food etc.. I almost jumped back there n did her job tahts how disappointing it was.“

“I placed an order for 3 Giants & I went to pick them up they were in the processing of making it & the line just looked so great!! The sandwiches were made exactly how I wanted! & tasted great!! The guy I spoke with on the phone his name is Ryan helped me out a lot! He’s a great guy! This is the best Jersey mikes (Cheviot Rd)“

“open until 8 pm. nice option for late dinner perfect iced tea.“

“This Penn Station was AWESOME! The atmosphere was perfect! It was cool (extremely hot day today and the cool felt perfect). The workers were EXTREMELY kind and helpful. I wasn't sure what I liked I've only ate at Penn Station 2x in my entire life. The asked me questions and came up with suggestions based on what I liked! And the food was smashing, delicious, yummy and SO much more!!!! 😎❤ I'm really impressed with the patience and kindness the employees showed my daughter and me! They were all super kind!!! I will definitely go back without a doubt because of the atmosphere, the food and the awesome staff!!!! Thank you guys so much! You made our day!“

“LET ME TELL YOU!!! Megan makes the most amazing sandwiches like she never fails to not make a banger sandwich and then rylie and the girl with the purple hair didn’t get her name!! They are AWESOME like they are so kind and make me laugh so much when i go through the drive thru and the speed at which they go is TOP TIER I have never waited over a minute at that window!!!“

“Our sandwich's were prepared with care. The establishments was clean as a whistle. The restrooms were amazingly spotless. Our meal was great, the staff were pleasant, receptive and congenial. All in all a great stop. Keep it up Jersey Mike's, Ya Done Good!“

“Been here a few times in between my lunch breaks. Everything always Tastes fresh. Quick service. Only issue is they have a worker that acts like she doesn't want to be there. She gives off a bit of a rude vibe. Other than her everyone else super sweet“

“I changed my review from 2-star to a 5-star. There was an issue with my order, and it happened a couple of times. At first, I didn't think much about it - stuff happens. People are making sandwiches and sometimes orders are a bit off. But when it repeated, I ended up writing a poor review.

The store manager immediately followed up and called me about the issue. He was very courteous, and to me, it speaks volumes about how he does care about his service and the customers. I feel bad to have harshly judged the establishment, but I think in the end we are all better for it. The store hopefully is more careful in making their orders, and I probably will think before I write a harsh review. I'll definitely do business with this store and recommend it to others.

This might seem much ado about an order of sandwiches, but there's more to it. The follow-up by the manager is what customer service is about. He went above and beyond. In an industry where the margins are slim and establishments are dealing with perishables, I understand the pressure the stores have.“

“The manager is great as well as his employees! And he makes killer sandwiches with lots of meat and ingredients. He always seems concerned if the customers are happy with their food. Very clean and very quick to get your order. Love the fries and the warm cookie he sometimes throws in there for us! Thank you! Keep up the good work!!“

“Hands Down I give NO cares this the Best Subway in town Everything is always fresh the meats the Veggies the cookies I can't remember the dude Name but when I say my sandwich BE like I can't even put it to words it's like HE puts some extra spicy on it I don't know it Like that first Glass of Ice Tea on a Hot Summer Day it's like your taste buds has died and went to taste bud heaven I WOULD GIVE THIS PLACE 20 STARS IF I COULD I LOVE THE FACT ITS CLEAN always HE Always have a Smile Upon his Face when you enter I love the Big window where you can watch him Make the sandwiches it's like watching a Artist at Work KEEP.UP THE WONDERFUL JOB“

“I want to give a HUGE shoutout to the manager Zach at McAlister's Deli in Kenwood! My daughter wasn’t feeling good today & stayed home from school. She really wanted her favorite cheddar broccoli soup to make her feel better. I ordered it on the app & went out to my car to go get it. Car won’t start. So I called McAlister’s to let them know since I already paid for it, if they’d just hold it for me until my wife got off work, I’d come get it & just have it as leftovers. Zach answered the phone & said, “I gotta go to the bank anyway, so how about I just drop it off at your house.” Talk about above & beyond customer service! He even gave me a VIP card for a free meal when he dropped my food off. Everyone there is always so nice. I just love my local McAlister’s.“

“I’ve been going here since I was around 7 years old, the environment is very friendly which makes the experience better. It’s an amazing place to go if you want to have a small snack with your friends or a full lunch. I will continue to come here and I believe you should too!“

“While the food was good as the past three time we have ordered, it's not prepared properly. One order we we totally missing a sandwich, had to go back, one order we ordered and paid 2 bowls of soup. We received cups. Yesterday ordered a avo turkey and Swiss. Received just turkey. No avocado and no Swiss. Just turkey on an overbaked bun! Not cool. Step it up potbelly! Very disappointed“

“Very helpful and had quality food“

“Always made fresh and the ladies behind the counter are super friendly. I use the app to order online to beat the lunch rush. The prices are similar to other Subway's in the area but the buy one get one footlong is still working BOGO50 but I think that is only until the end of the month. Eat fresh! My spicy italian was super tasty and made perfectly/not sloppy“

“First, a great shout out to Jersey Mikes. I’m a nurse at a nearby hospital. In the middle of the Coronavirus Pandemic we were struggling with COVID patients and somebody said “Jersey Mikes dropped off a huge pile of subs in the break room”. Thank you sooooo much!!!! So, we stopped by on a cold Friday afternoon in May to re-pay the favor. I had a ham one at the hospital and it was awesome. I don’t like mayonnaise or dressings, but they have the own special vinegar and (?) and it was great. Had a turkey #7 this time without seasonings because my wife got it and got the full one. Way too much food (enough for 2 meals!). Really good experience both times. All the meat is fresh sliced. Thanks again, loved the sandwiches. Take out or delivery only when this was written.“

“I jumped over to this store right after checking out wandering monsters breweries opening night. Right as I got to the door I realized it was 9:00 PM and they were pretty much locking up but the guy and girl working were super nice and accommodated me so well by making food and allowing me to get an order in, even though I was a minute or two after closing. It’s great to see there’s still good service around and people that care and are super nice. The manager of this restaurant should give a bonus to those two working tonight because they really made my experience great where as I’ve been turned down many times when it’s close to closing time. Thanks again, team!“

“This was our first time dining at the North Bend Rd. location. We were very impressed. The service was fast, the ingredients looked fresh, our sandwiches were fresh and the restaurant is very clean. The people running this location do a very good job. We definitely plan to come back!“
