50 Best Sandwich Shops in Ottawa

“There used to be a pho place in Toronto that I loved until it closed down 7 years ago. Since then, I could not find a pho place that I liked... until today. You can really taste the care Mama Mai puts into its dishes. The pho broth is very clear, and flavorful, without being too salty. Their fish sauce is the perfect combination of sweet and sour, with pickled cabbage and carrots in side it for an extra special touch. Their coconut coffee is a delicious refreshing treat, with a perfect balance of creaminess to that signature strong viet coffee. I am happy to add Mama Mai to my regular rotation of restaurants when ever I visit Ottawa.“

Roberto‘s Corner Italian deli and a lot of other places and nothing comes close to Sherwood deli’s egg bread turkey sandwich.

Not quite as good as firehouse, but I'm definitely a good option. This location seemed to be clean fresh. Good, fast service and decent price. All right, we'll definitely check it out again.Then, you should too I doubt you'll be disappointed. There is a variety of menu items, including a cookie with marshmallow. In between it which looks decent, I may have to try that. And also, they have a steak in cheese queso sub, which also looks good. So check them out, tell them I sent you.“

“I had a wonderful experience at this subway. There is an employee, she was so good with the customer service. I think her name was Pinal, and she was just amazing.

“One of the busiest outlets inside Place Minto Place building. They have breakfast and lunch options with a variety of menu items.

Thank you.“

Many people like it because it feels healthier than other fast food and it’s quick when you’re in a rush. It can also be affordable, especially when there are deals. Overall, Subway is popular because it’s easy, customizable, and filling.“

“Frequent visitor of this location and I'm always impressed with the staff. The manager clearly leads by example. They are so efficient and quick at getting customers their orders. The food is always fantastic, too.

At one point a few months ago, my girlfriend forgot her phone in Subway at closing time and the staff carefully put it away for us to pick up in the morning.

Everyone here deserves a raise. One of the best run Subway locations I've ever been to, and that's saying something considering the location and the lunch rush.“

“I had such a great experience at this Subway location today! Ami made my sandwich, and she was absolutely amazing. Not only did she prepare everything perfectly, but she was also so kind, patient, and welcoming throughout the entire process. You can really tell she takes pride in what she does.

My tuna wrap was fresh, neatly made, and honestly one of the best I’ve had. The attention to detail and positive attitude made the whole visit feel special.

Thank you, Ami, for the excellent service — you truly made my day better! I’ll definitely be coming back 😊“

“One of the few good Subways left in the city. Good location, quick service, an owner who actually cares about quality and no skimping on meat and vegetables.

Vegetarian options: Veggie subs, fresh mozzarella series subs.

Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free bread, Employees will change gloves upon request for Kosher / Halal / Allergies etc.

Wheelchair accessibility: Building has elevators and there is a ramp close by to Subway and multiple accessible washrooms as well.“

“Overall, I had a great experience at this Subway. The food was fresh, the restaurant was clean, and the staff were friendly and efficient.

One thing I wanted to mention is that while my friend and I were eating in the evening, three teenagers came in and started causing a disturbance. They were trying to get free food, became loud with the employees, and even threatened to leave bad reviews when they didn’t get what they wanted.

The staff handled the situation very professionally and stayed calm and respectful throughout. They deserve credit for dealing with it so well while continuing to provide great service. I’d definitely come back.“

“I had an amazing experience at this Subway location! The customer service was outstanding and the communication with the guy working there was excellent. The place was neat and clean, and my order was prepared exactly how I wanted it, no mistakes at all. The sandwich was properly grilled, toasted, and tasted so good. What really stood out was how welcoming the staff member was, greeting us with a smile. At other locations, I often feel rushed and barely get a word from the staff, but here it was completely different. Definitely one of the best Subway experiences I’ve had!“

“Had a great experience at Subway today around 6 PM! The service was excellent — very friendly and efficient the guy staff there, i told him i will give him good reviews. Our food was fresh and delicious, exactly how we wanted it. Definitely one of the better Subway visits we've had. Keep up the great work!“

“Just order food online from uber. It was the best sandwich i ever had. Perfect amount of veggies, sauce and perfect grilled. It was crunchy from outside and soft from inside. I just wanna whoever made that is a great Artist. I would recommend everyone to try sandwiche from this location, you all gonna love it.“

“Wouldn’t normally write a review for a sandwich , but after usual ‘meh’ sandwiches at other locations today’s experience warranted a positive review of our experience. We visited at lunch today July 10th. The line moved efficiently but not rushed and hurried. I appreciated the efficiency but also the extra few seconds of attention to sandwiches. It made a difference. When we sat down to enjoy our sandwiches, I was taken aback at how perfect it was. Ot was fluffy, toasted, the vegetables had a chilled crunch combined with the toasted melted shredded cheese and meat. I told my daughter it was the most enjoyable subway sandwich I’ve ever had. So many subways have reviews in the 3’s, and we’ve skipped subway based on the locations reviews. This one delivered. Keep up the great work and continue serving the sandwiches with care it shows!“

St laurent mall location is a perfect 10/10, I wish all subways were this good“

“I had a great experience at subway. I usually don’t like food on the first try, but this Subway location completely changed that for me.

Highly recommend this location—it’s the best!“

“A few weeks ago I placed a catering order for 11 lunch boxes for a corporate event. This was the only location that accepted it and gave me the confidence that they would take care of everything and they did. The service was incredible and fast. Highly recommended.“

“Amazing customer service. My husband is celiac and have to say this is the most satisfied we have been with precautions at any fast food restaurant in the last 3 years. Obviousally, cannot guarantee with 100% certainty no gluten, but they went over the top to ensure there was the least possible chance of cross contamination. Excellent food! Excellent service!“

“Tight spot for a fat sandwich. I ate tuna fish. They scrambled the tuna fish with mayo. Probably Mediterranean Tuna. Hellmans mayo , the best mayonnaise. Added vegetables. Nice vegetables like cucumbers. Staff spoke to me in a friendly manner. Atmosphere is weird. Too many lights, too bright. But I didn't stay. I actually ate my fat tuna bun at home with a small glass of cow milk. The 2%.“

“My favorite and go to SUBWAY in my area!I worked at this mall a few years ago and the previous management was really sloppy, after visiting recently the new management and team is incredible! Thanks for the fresh food and cookies, the kids love it! Bring back the BBQ rib please“

Huge appreciation to the whole team for their great attitude and outstanding service.“

“Excellent food and outstanding service! The sandwiches were fresh, delicious, and made exactly as requested. The restaurant was clean, and the overall experience was great.

A special thanks to Jashan for providing exceptional customer service. Jashan was friendly, professional, and made sure everything was perfect. Their positive attitude and attention to detail truly made the visit memorable.

Highly recommend this Subway location, and I look forward to coming back again!“

“The service at this location is great and efficient and Riya is very customer oriented a locationnd is doing a great job. kudos to the staff at this“

“I showed up to this Subway and spent 20 minutes crafting the perfect sandwich for an online order (to snag that goated 2 for 1 coupon deal) and to say they constructed a sub suitable to a queens standards would be an understatement. The employee who was working was also very kind and conversational! Very epic experience?p.s. the Italian B.M.T. is in fact the biggest meatiest and tastiest sub“

“I’m not in Barrhaven often anymore, but when I saw Quiznos, I had to pull in. I like many others in Ottawa are so sad that there are only 2 remaining locations. I believe her name was Lynn served me, she was super friendly and helpful. What a difference it makes being able to go into a restaurant/ takeaway place these days and actually have a nice, friendly conversation with the employee(s). I had the classic club to go which was excellent, better than Subway. Restaurant was very clean, and daily specials 👍 I will definitely be back soon, worth the 25 minute drive 😆“

“I ordered a footlong BMT and it was the best i ever had. Thank you to the morning guy who made my sub.“
