35 Best Sandwich Shops in Knoxville

“This is the best falafel I’ve ever had stateside. I spent several years in the Middle East and this took me right back. It is made from scratch with dried chickpeas all the way through. And the swarma was delicious to! This is a must visit to add to your collection. The owner/ manager is also very friendly. Clean restaurant too!“

“The ORIGINAL!!! Character, great food, ALWAYS great!!!“

“Purchased Chicken ranch on white, the bread was homemade, light & very tasty. All ingredients were fresh. The whole sandwich is for a hungry appetite. The potato salad is very yummy, the fresh squeezed lemonade topped off the whole meal. Staff was friendly and attentive. Atmosphere is spacious with a gallery of hometown photos. Looking forward to our next visit!“

“We used to go to the Corryton location regularly until it closed. I went to the store in Halls tonight, and the sandwiches were as good as ever. Prices have pretty much remained the same. Great food!“

“Incredible experience. I ordered online at the wrong location and mistakenly went in the wrong place. They took care of me with my order and canceled out the other and made everything right. Would highly suggest this location to anybody. Great atmosphere great people.“

“My favorite Philly Cheesesteak in K-Town. Tried several different places; Lenny’s still tops the list. Lovell Rd. isn’t convenient or on my regular commute, but if I want a good Philly Cheesesteak, I’ll make the drive out-of-my way.“

“The Firehouse Steak & Cheese.. white bread, all the fixins.. hold tha shrooms. extra cheese with some vinegar & oil love... PERFECTION!“

“Love THEM!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ food is delicious and always ready on time😊“

“Fire house subs are fire 🔥“

“Great food and service! It’s always a pleasure to eat there.“

“This restaurant is the bomb diggity! The first thing I noticed was not the menu but how clean the restaurant is kept and a 100 Health Score. I have had every variety of chicken salad here and my nephew who is with me loves the place also. I eat here at least twice weekly. The employees here are very friendly and go out of their way to be helpful. If you like Chicken Salad this is the place you’ll love to come to.“

“OMG! My husband needed to stop at Guitar Center and we spotted this little gem across the way. The steak in a sack, tamales, pasta salad, and smokehouse potato salad-all delicious! And the lemon cookies, WOW!“

“Love this Firehouse Sub location. Just hope the one there building close to me is as nice, clean, and great employees, food, chips, and service!!! #gottahavemyclubonasub“

“They have elevated my expectations for all similar type establishments who offer subs without the bun. To receive the turkey bacon ranch sub as a salad unknowingly and it be just what I wanted was a refreshing experience!! Absolutely amazing!“

“Firehouse offers gourmet hot and cold sandwiches that are well-seasoned, fresh, and satisfying. My favorite is the pizza sub, which perfectly captures the taste of an actual pizza with its rich flavors and hearty ingredients. The quality and authenticity of the flavors make it a standout choice, and I will definitely be returning.“

“The staff was amazing, willing to help when my Mac and Cheese was not available on my mobile order. They were quick and apologetic which I appreciate. The food was hot and tasty. My overall experience was a really good one. Highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Forget the sandwich shop chains, this is the place to get some of the best food for your money. Every ingredient in the sandwiches and sides and drinks have been top quality. I am definitely frugal, but this place is worth the expense. Honestly, the prices are extremely reasonable though. They are holding nothing back with their recipes and fresh ingredients. Treat yourself to something better than just a good sub sandwich for lunch or dinner: get much better quality, be impressed with your meal, and enjoy much better value. Also, the staff are extremely personable and low key, and yet they are attentive. Look at the photo I took of my food: it's not from an advertisement, that's actually what it looked like when served from the kitchen. My daughter's chicken Caesar salad was so perfect, even the Caesar dressing had authentic flavor layers to it.“

“Pitiful behavior on your part for refusing to serve our local police officers who protect you as well as the rest of the community. I consider myself a fairly frequent visitor to your establishment, but that will end immediately. No more meals at your deli in the near not long distant future. You ought to be ashamed.“

“Best subs around! Bread is just right and delicious never hard and tough to chew like other sub restaurants. Variety of toppings and app makes it easy to add what you want on the sandwich. The chilli is wonderful as well. Don't want bread they have healthy salads. I'm delighted we have one this close to our home. The crew is always welcoming and dedicated to making the customer feel appreciated. Keep up the good work y'all.“

“My Fav hands down!!! I love the crew here!!“

“Eating here now and Jordan is the ONLY employee working which is totally unfair to him. Apparently another coworker called in sick, but not sure why a manager or someone else didn’t come in to help him out. Jordan is handling the large crowd very professionally and really should be paid much more since he is handling all online orders, making sandwiches/salads and running the register!Subway is definitely getting their monies worth with Jordan as he is an exceptional worker… hoping he gets a raise very soon! Food was great!“

“the cheapest and most convenient place to eat on campus located right on the hill - you can get a drink and a pimento cheese (or other) sandwich for 5.46, or a hot meal for only about 10. it's also fast, reliable, and good! bonus, it's been here since my parents went to utk, so it's cool to hear their stories about Ray's place from the 90s and then visit often myself!“

“Fresh cut potatoes, fried to the point of brown but not burnt. I either get the philly steak or a wrap. Yummmmmm“

“Great food ... Great service. Highly recommend.“

“Even when they had their little rush I waited no longer than 5 minutes. The staff are super friendly even when reminding you about the 60 something cent ranch fee if you desire that condiment. Ketchup is free so you tomato fans are safe. Highly satisfied“

“I had the most wonderful experience I could have at subway thanks to Theresa! With customer service being so scare no and days, she was the breath of fresh air that every company prays for! I hope the company recognizes her for all that she does. She deserves it!“

“Went on 3/15/26 @ 10 am..the young lady working was very friendly and made our subs as ordered. However the bread was so hard on one side that it couldn't be eaten, so we ended up throwing half a sandwich away due be inedible. What a waste!!! Please don't bake the bread so hard!!! Otherwise everything looked fresh and clean.“

“This is my favorite subway. Clean, nice, and always treat the customers great.“

“Went to this location today. I have been there a few times before. Everyone there is so nice and does a great job. But today it was Dani and Amanda. Usually there’s only one person and that is literally my ONLY gripe about this location. But as usual, Amanda and Dani were very sweet and respectful and did their jobs very well. I hope the ownership is aware that they are very fortunate to have such great employees!! Because honestly I would never do what they do with no help and I’m sure not all customers are understanding with them, and that’s a shame because it’s management’s responsibility to make sure they are staffed sufficiently.“

“A+. The woman working made our order from the app following all my instructions and even labeled which half did/didn’t have olive and pickles (for my kids). And she patiently helped troubleshoot food options for my youngest. Great service!“

“Walked in around 4:15pm and Wesley greeted me very kindly and with a great attitude! We cut up a bit with a few jokes and he made my all American sandwich perfectly! Even at that time all the vegetables looked extremely fresh and kept up. Great job to Wesley I will definitely be back!!“

“Average subway they never put unuff meat on the sandwich unless u pay for double meat . An allot of the meat like turkey ham.. had went completely down the drain they have cut back cost and switched to a thin sliced not sure if it's real meat or not.. It all taste smells am looks the same..like that cheap meat u get 5 for a dollar at the discount store .I went because I have a crazy for there philly cheese steak that's not a philly at all.. Was not satisfied for the cost..“

“The sub artist working was working her butt off even in the midst of a pretty busy shift and hearing that a new hire walked out on her during shift. She repeatedly apologized for it taking a bit longer on mone and my friends order but she was working so hard you had to respect it and didnt mind waiting a little longer with what she was dealing with by herself. Always enjoy the deals through the app and with the restaurant being 5 mins down the road from my apt.“
