10 Best Sandwich Shops in Cookeville

“This is not one of the genres of restaurant I normally go to. However, I am a Veteran and on Veterans Day, they were one of the few restaurants in 2025 actually still offering a free meal in appreciation. Not an appetizer, not a 10% discount, not a special menu: an actual normal meal like everyone else gets. Good food too. They 100% deserve your business.“

“ordered a regular super sub on rosemar. I didn’t know what prosciuttini was, so they explained it to me. They were very nice, and helpful. Price was good, and food was delicious!
The owner came out and greeted every table and asked if everything was up to par“

“Yummy we love it and the most awesome soup“

“Amazing sandwiches and super friendly, helpful staff. Young man working at 3pm on 11/7/24 went out of his way to take care of us with a smile on his face. Give that man a raise!

Wheelchair accessibility: Lowered curbs should make wheelchair access a breeze.“

“This sandwich shop just might be the best-kept secret in Cookeville. As of the date of this review, you can't even find it on the Which Wich app and it took me some effort to find it on the list of stores on their website. Which Wich Cookeville in fact can be eventually found with a little junior detective work. It is on the Tennessee Tech University campus housed within Roaden University Center. It is nestled in an out of the way corner in the same lower building level as the campus bookstore. For some unknown reason, the procedure for filling out your sandwich "order bag" at this location is different. Just go to the counter and the person there will help you. There are two types of order bags- favorites and build your own. Customizing is available on the favorites which is not well known. I wonder if in the past the order bags and marker pens were too much of a temptation to leave access to the student body at large? Which Wich offers three size sandwiches- 7" regular, 10" large, and 14" super. The super-size sandwich might be a good choice for sharing. You can also have your wich as a tortilla wrap or totally bread free with a lettuce wrap. Other reviewers commented about excessive wait times- I felt the wait for my wich was appropriate. Made fresh takes more time than pre-prepared and sitting under a heat lamp for who knows how long. I found that the sandwich makers are generous with the meats- so much that the veggies on my wich had hardly any space to call their own. In addition to sandwiches, Which Wich also offers green and pasta salads. I didn't try a salad this visit but the photos look good on their website. I did decide to try the house potato chips with my combo and I liked their just-right combination of salt and pepper toppings. In addition to soft drink favorites, Which Wich has sweet and unsweet teas and made to order real ice cream milkshakes in 7 flavors. Currently, orders are take-out only (due to COVID-19) and the chairs have been removed from around the tables in the store's dining area. This is not a huge problem as there is plenty of seating space in the commons area near the bookstore and there are tables outside if the weather is favorable This location is only open the same hours as the Roaden University Center building which means that they are closed on weekends. (Insert sad panda face emoji here). A true tragedy because the weekend is the perfect time to order the BrunchWich featuring a sunny side up egg and thick-cut bacon. Which Wich is a great alternative to "fried" fast food and each wich is made to order fresh. Give them a try when you have the Jones for a healthy meal that tastes great too.“

“Nice people,l wish JJ was closer to my home.“

“We placed our order in store because when we placed it on-line when we got in the store we were told that they DID NOT accept ANY BOGO coupons or the three (3) footling subs for $17.99. They said the owner did not honor ANY coupons mailed to our home either here in Smithville, Tennessee. I have been going to Subway for over 20 years and the OTHER locations I have been to honor all coupons. It's really confusing when a store does not honor nationally advertised coupons. Their customer service and cleanliness is great.“

“I don't know why so many bad reviews st this subway best one I have been at I door dash and their great how they handle the order down to getting me out fast...my personal orders are always perfect I ordered on the app at 11at night and asked for it to be delivered it was here at 1127 and it was hot and fresh perfect in every way exactly how I wanted it thanks soooo much went to the Walmart one and the guy was rude and messed up my order so bad I won't go bak to that one I'll stay loyal to this one“

“My boyfriend and I stopped by tonight and we were greeted with the sweetest worker. Isaac was the only worker in the building, but still made time to not only greet every single person that came in, but he did it with a smile. After talking to him I found out today was only his second day. You wouldn’t be able to tell though. Isaac cleared out the line in a timely manner all while keeping up with online orders. I didn’t expect to walk into subway tonight and leave in a better mood all because of the worker. Isaac had the best attitude I’ve ever seen from a fast food employee which says a lot considering he was the only worker there and dealing with a lot of orders. His station stayed clean, he treated every single person with respect, and kept a smile on his face the entire time. I truly hope he gets the praise he deserves for being such an amazing worker. As a previous manager in fast food, I would have been ecstatic to have a worker like Isaac. It’s so hard to find good workers and this restaurant has one of the best. Thank you Isaac for making our night.“
