36 Best Sandwich Shops in Columbia

“We went to Luzianna Purchase's 2nd evening, 5 course dinner and it was fabulous! Each course had a wine pared with it that made it very elegant. Thomas and Mary Katherine explained each course and where the ingredients came from. The atmosphere was warm and personal; we entered as strangers and left with new friends.“

“I’m not sure which I liked more, the fabulous food or the most delightful waitress Blake. Both will make this a regular stop on our travels.“

“We ate lunch for the first time last week!! It was the best sandwich I've ever had, French fries were amazing as well!! I had the club but also had a bite of the chicken salad. 💯💫 Definitely the best!!!“

“Nice chicken cutlet. Rainbow cookies were like from home. Wife bit into the cannoli and I swear I saw a tear. Will go back!“

“Always enjoy the smoked turkey horsey! Great atmosphere and, as always, friendly staff.“

“One of the better sub shops in town, in my humbled opinion. Always good tasting. Made to order. I would say quality is number one. Rated a B Plus. I don’t want to put these folks on an ego trip!!!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Outstanding Service and Delicious Dinner!

I stopped by the Chicken Salad Chick at the Harbison location and ordered the cranberry/almond chicken salad on a croissant with a side of broccoli salad. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. The croissant was soft and buttery, and the broccoli salad had just the right crunch and tang.

What really impressed me was the staff’s professionalism. The register went down while I was waiting to pay, and even after trying to resolve the issue for 10 minutes, it still wasn’t working. Without hesitation, they offered my meal for free and sincerely apologized for the wait. I left with great food and an even greater appreciation for their customer service. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Great food you must try them out“

“A must go!
Very cute and small place tucked in near the bank of America building. I got the full chicken cesear salad wrap and a dr pepper. Food came out fast and staff is very very nice. Excellent place to rest from the hustle and bustle of the city.“

“Came in for a quick bite for lunch and it was great. Service was fast and my food was very fresh. The inside of the resturant is also kept very clean. One of the better locations I have been to. On the receipt they also put contact information if you have any problems/concerns, which I believe is great.“

“I love the Turkey , Bacon and Ranch sub! I wish there was one in Orangeburg!“

“I love this subway so much, and I go all the time. The employees are very friendly and the owner always greets me by name. They’ve never gotten my order wrong and I’ve never been disappointed by the quality of the food. Definitely recommend!“

“This Firehouse Subs location gets it. They always have my order correct and quick. I am gluten free and they make my sandwich with care. Gluten free bread can be tricky and they toast it properly so it does not fall apart.
I eat here once or twice a week. everything is fresh and consistent.
The best part is the staff that smiles and greats me every time I walk in to pick up my order. Makes my day.“

“Ate here yesterday for the very first time yesterday and it was great! The best sub I’ve had in a very long time! Our kiddos loved it too! We will be back when we are in or around the area! My only regret is not bringing some of that delicious bread home.“

“Great experience! Top tier! 10/10“

“I can only think of one other sandwich that was better than this one, and that was when I was about four years old and my mom made me a ham sandwich to eat after playing in the pool all day in peak southern heat. Not kidding at all when I say this probably changed the trajectory of my life. And supporting firefighters on top of an already stellar experience? Count me in every time. God bless the firefighters and may God personally shower the person who made my sandwich with blessings. Cheers to a great restaurant“

“Such a great experience at Firehouse Subs! The food was fresh, delicious, and made exactly how I ordered it, but the customer service really stood out. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience enjoyable. It’s always nice to go somewhere where you feel like the employees actually care about the customers AND the quality of the food. Great food, great service, and an overall great experience. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Destiny and Ocean both provided amazing customer service!
We had a few questions about the menu and they seemed very knowledgeable and were super patient with answering our questions and helping us understand how to order.
They took the time to clarify how ordering on the app worked and how the points system worked.
They were incredibly patient throughout this process, despite our numerous questions.
They never stopped smiling and even cracked a few jokes with us. We were very pleased with our experience here and will definitely be returning!“

“Shoutout to all the wonderful staff at McAlister’s on 10/11/26. I was there with people from a local church. Every interaction with staff was superb. They all seemed genuinely happy to serve us and make sure we were happy with our experience. They took excellent care of us. In a time when restaurant staff in so many places seem inconvenienced by customers, this was very refreshing!“

“Service on 5/5/26 was exceptional. Despite dealing with a difficult customer who hovered over the counter and made demands while her order was being prepared (ridiculous), the staff remained calm and professional throughout. The sandwich was fantastic as well. I’ll definitely be returning!“

“owned by a wonderful family!“

“Really enjoyed this place food was amazing I had the croissant smash burger I didn't stop till it was all gone.. fries was hot and the mimosa flights was really good. R &b music was playing all around nice!!! I didn't take pic of burger because I devoured it lol“

“Had the Philly cheesesteak and cheese fries and also the strawberry lemonade. Likely the best lemonade of my life. And the food was great too. It was family day on the base so they were crazy busy but they were professional and polite and as quick as possible.“

“This place was slam packed when we came. The whole food court was full and it was utter chaos. Despite this, the employees kept their calm, remained patient and polite, and were quick and efficient. They all made a good team working together. Our subs were all great tasting and made correctly. We appreciated good, quick service and good food that day. Thank you!“

“I go to this Subway on a regular basis, the employees are always so warm and friendly when I went in today, the young lady that is always there. I’m sorry I cannot remember her name even remember last time I was in there. I was hurrying to a dentist appointment for my daughter. And…. my sandwich was yummy and perfect.“

“Good food, good new friends!!!“

“This poor dude. We got here August 9, 2026 at 1:48pm. He was here by himself. We left at 2:49pm he was still by himself. He was very pleasant very upbeat as we were leaving. I told him hope your day gets better (because he has been slammed. There’s people coming in one right another and he is still by himSelf). He said. It is y’all came in.
I don’t think I would have had that positive attitude being stuck there by myself with at least 20+ people making sandwiches for.
Give this guy a raise you are lucky to have him.“

“Great place to stop and get lunch while on or visiting campus… Store is always clean, staff is always friendly, and they just make you feel welcome… The manager, Charlie, is always super friendly, laughing and joking with all the customers. She even had her little nephew, Kingston, in with her. He was wiping tables in his little Jersey Mike’s uniform… He was cute as he could be, with a huge grin on his face, (much better spokesperson/mascot than Danny DiVito ???). Will definitely return when I’m back down. Great job, guys!“

“Large order. I initially schelued the wrong time. The manager was great and rescheduled it. We were missing an item. However, the manager there apologized and corrected it quickly. The food was good . The customer service was good.and that is a rare find these days.“

“I haven't had Subway in a while, but I was impressed. A little pricier than I expected, but I had the rotisserie chicken footlong, and it was savory and flavorful, and went well will provolone (I think any cheese there will do) and bbq sauce (chipotle sauce may have been better though). I would recommend it, but be aware that the sub is $8.83 on it's own after taxes and without a drink or chips. Sadly I don't have any photos, but it does look like it does on the menu. That's it.“

“I ordered a spicy Italian sub sandwich and it was delicious. I recommend Subway if you want something healthy and delicious.

Parking: It's a nice parking lot with always a place to park.

Kid-friendliness: It has kids meals which means kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: It has plenty of space for wheelchairs.“

“This Jimmy John’s is amazing. With my past fast food experiences they’ve been a let down. Was ready expecting a problem, but was so wrong! Christine was so helpful and sweet on the phone. You can tell she puts 100% into her job! Sandwich is delicious and exactly what we wanted“

“Always great friendly service. Kudos to the manager and employees“

“Even though it's expensive, you'll get way more for your money! Highly recommend.“

“We had a good experience. My wife and I wanted the same 6" sandwich, but prepared differently. In order to save us money, the server prepared what we wanted but only charged us for a single 12" sub. They did not have to do this for us.“

“I was new to their reward membership. This website was featuring a special for Buy One 13 inch. Get another for free! It took the two of us about 20 minutes to load the software. My meatball sandwiches will satisfy my craving.....1/2 sandwich (6 inches) at a time. Thanks for the help!“
