50 Best Sandwich Shops in Cincinnati

“You need to go today! This place has great food & the owners/employees are such nice folks. I try to stop by any time I am driving by. I do mostly carry out, but you can eat there. I understand their catering is also so good!!! I love supporting good local businesses...“

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

“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!“

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

“SO DELICIOUS! Will definitely be back!“

“I bought a shawarma here, and trust me, it's one of the yummiest I've had! It's been almost 3 years since I had a shawarma like this. I used to eat them in India, and I haven't found wraps like this in the US. This one brought back so many memories. If I had to rate it, I'd give it a 10/10. Highly recommend trying it at Cinci Deli!“

“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“

“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“

“Firehouse has great subs!“

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

“philly cheesesteaks with their fries and awesome lemonade“

“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“

“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.“

“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)“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Izzy’s absolutely lived up to the hype! The Reuben was hands down the best I’ve ever had. The corned beef was tender and flavorful, the bread was perfectly toasted, and every bite was delicious. The service was just as impressive. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed. If you’re in Cincinnati and craving an amazing deli sandwich, Izzy’s is a must visit. I’ll definitely be back!“

“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!!!“

“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 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!!“

“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.“

“My favorite place to get a good salad. I like the Farmer's salad the best. Everything is always fresh and the staff are always friendly. When I do get a sub I love their pickled peppers. They make my eyes water, but they are so good I can't resist them.“

“Due to a busy day I ended up placing a pickup order very close to closing time and felt really bad - but when I arrived not only was the staff kind and polite but the food was delicious... and it doesn't hurt that all the young men working were very handsome! 😉 Great job!!
If I could give a hundred stars ⭐⭐I definitely would!!
I can't wait to go back!!“

“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.“

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

“philly cheesesteaks with their fries and awesome lemonade“

“Let me just say. I live in Florida, but tried this shop while I while I was visiting. Not only was the female employee extremely pleasant and nice to speak with, but the food came out so fast and was still smoldering hot when I got to my hotel.

Probably the food highlight of my trip! Don’t take this delicacy for granted, Ohio!!!!“

“I have no complaints Sandwhiches were pretty good“

“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.“

“Every single time I go in to order and carry out , the staff is so friendly and so quick. There is a long time employee there who is very nice and helpful he wears a big chain and has a little edgy look to him. Good customer service people are few and far between nowadays and you are lucky to have him.“

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

“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!“

“One of the best Jersey Mikes locations I’ve been to. My choice when I’m feeling a quality quick sandwich in the area. Lilly is always so kind and helpful! It’s clear everyone here cares and puts in the time to go above and beyond. They are also great about anllergies and dietary restrictions. 5 stars“

“This location is the best Penn station in Cincinnati. Always very clean and the food is very fresh, the manager Jake is very helpful and provides the best customer service. I ordered sandwiches for dine in and plating presentation was superior 💯“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“philly cheesesteaks with their fries and awesome lemonade“

“Only two employees working during a busy lunch time. No one working the cash register to take orders. Unless you used the self-service kiosk to order, you weren't getting waited on. Food was still good, but I think the customer service was lacking.“

“Very helpful and had quality food“

“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!!“

“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!“

“I drove to the Eastgate location from Goshen because the service is 1000 times better than the Miami Township location. The food is fresh, prepared correctly, and delicious, and the staff cares if they do a good job in handling your order. It's worth the extra drive and gas to get your food made correctly.“
