50 Best Sandwich Shops in Houston

“This THAI TURMERIC LEMONADE is the absolute best ever….. I plan to stop by everyday 😍“

“I’d rate this spot a 3.5/5!
This restaurant is located inside of a Walmart so there was plenty of parking which is always a relief.

My friend and I ordered the following:
6 PC Lemon Pepper Wings w/ fries
6 PC Mango Habanero Wings w/fries
Philly Cheesesteak Meal w/ Strawberry Shake
Ice Cream Cone

Despite it being pretty busy, our order was ready in less than 10 minutes. To start off, the strawberry shake was decent! The ice cream cone was also good but it was a little too soft- the ice cream was already dripping and collapsing when we received it.
As for the food, the wings weren’t bad! The lemon pepper wings naturally maintained its crunchy texture better than the mango habanero wings since it’s a dry rub but both were good nonetheless. Also, the mango habanero wasn’t that spicy (for spice reference, I enjoy eating flamin hot cheetos). Now I’m curious to see if the scorpion sting flavor is really that spicy.
I wasn’t able to try the Philly Cheesteak but my friend said it was good and very filling.
In terms of the fries, I’d recommend getting the Cajun seasoning (it’s no extra charge) since the normal fries lack some salt.“

“Barnaby’s never has given me bad service. Every location, including this one. The food is amazing with large portions. I have never had any anything I never disliked even though 50% of the time when I go there, I always order lasagna because it’s like hands-down my favorite thing on the menu. Everything else I have there is delicious. The salads are huge and it’ll take days to eat them. I recently had the French dip which is another favorite item of mine. I had my birthday dinner there two days ago at the Fairview location and everything was perfect. The staff did an amazing job accommodating the amount of guests I had. I had around 18 people and they were able to accommodate it without even having a reservation and that’s really hard to find especially this time of the year during the holiday season. It’s really hard having a December birthday considering people are celebrating the holidays and most restaurants tend to be super busy than usual and I appreciate everything the restaurant did the night of my birthday. It couldn’t have been any better. Thank you guys for giving me such a good birthday experience with all of my friends being together. The staff is always incredible going above and beyond. The food is always very delicious and large portions. If I could give any recommendations, I would love for you guys to get more cake flavors. I think red velvet would be amazing for you guys. However, I really appreciate everything you all did. Thank you.“

“Fresh bread toasted sammie. Everyone was very nice. I’m a potbellies girl, so that’s my bar, but this was a good sammich“

“My family, visiting Houston, fell in love with this place and got lunch there everyday. The owners are exceptionally welcoming and thoughtful, as are all the staff. The sandwiches are delicious, with quality ingredients. The setting is artful and bright and airy. Try it“

“This is an excellent site for valuable tips and explanations especially for the beginner baker.“

“Subs taste great and I love that they offer 3 sizes to match your appetite. Enjoy trivia on Tuesdays. The place is always spotless clean.“

“This place is a great spot for healthy and delicious sandwiches. The service is exceptional, with Raul and Nathalia always being friendly and helpful. Raul makes sure everyone is doing well and if we need anything. I also appreciate the ample tables and outlets available for working.“

“Great hole in the wall, with delicious gyros and salads. I'm sure there's more, but those are my favorites!
Food is consistently perfect. The place is very basic, you definitely want this for the quality, not for the location. When I eat here, I notice a lot of food-to-go pick-ups.“

“Charley's came to my life extremely randomly, I have never heard of it until today! I was in Walmart and just got done with doing inventory at all three of my properties, I currently manage in Houston, and I saw this restaurant in the Walmart that I had never seen before. The pictures looked delicious, and I just had to try one of their cheesesteaks. The Walmart I frequent in Atlanta has a Subway inside of it and I'll be honest I am not a fan of Subway, I was starving while shopping then suddenly I was overcome with joy because I got to try a new place.
When I got to the register there was no one in line so I was taking my sweet time making my choices, I ended up going with the classic cheesesteak and a real blueberry lemonade, the cashier was really young and we had a casual conversation while my food was being made.
I got my order and I was so hungry I decided that I was going to eat right then and there. The space was really big, they had plenty of tables and chairs, they actually had a cool backdrop and throne you can take pictures on! It's really cool to see. If I had someone with me, I would have taken a flick.
The food was tasty, I honestly don't know if it was because I had not eaten all day, and my taste buds were heightened, but my cheesesteak tasted a bit salty. Again, in their defense, I worked out and played basketball all day without eating, so that could throw my taste out of whack. With all that being said, the food was good, very filling, I do believe I received an adequate amount of food that I paid for, and that is always something to smile about. Next time, I am going to try their chicken and one of their milkshakes.“

“Amazing food and great service. We buy for our staff regularly. Highly recommend you won’t be disappointed! Luv luv luv“

“the loaded tater tots are banging the stuff belly Texas with barbecue sauce is banging both of the tuna sandwiches are delicious they are also delicious with half and half that is without the bread the strawberry lemonade tea the blackberry lemonade tea or both banging the new chicken Po boy you must try it ASAP it's banging. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯“

“Enjoyed the bahn mi sandwiches, preferred the pork ones since they tend to load the sandwich more with pork more than the chicken and beef ones. Flan 🍝 dessert was strong in a brandy sauce. I think I ordered about 5 and got the 6th sandwich free. Don't know if that deal is ongoing, but I enjoyed everything I tried here. Male owner is nice and talkative, remembers your order on repeat visits; wholesome and friendly.“

“Never disappoints! Friendly staff and fast service!“

“Great place to eat. Friendly staff. Barbara was very helpful and caring! Thank you!“

“This was very yummy!! Stop in and try the vegan bahn mi sandwich!“

“Stopped in today and had a great sub. Kept it simple with the basic Italian. The bread is amazing and ingredients are fresh. Best of all, very friendly and helpful staff.“

“Delicious Super Fast service great customer service Chicken Portobello Hot Sub“

“Yiu need to try this place. I worked here for four years in this neighborhood and never knew about this wonderful subs. Thank you to my friend Jeremy for bringing me here.
The owners are the sweetest.
Came back today, August 14, 2025 and had our favorite tuna melt sandwich. I can’t see enough about how good this place is.
Also, the family friendly feel that you get from the owners is just awesome.“

“Thank you Jacob and the entire staff for the amazing hospitality and delicious sandwiches!!! Love this place and everyone is always so nice!!!“

“1st time here & didn’t know what to expect, but let me tell you.. the place was clean & the staff had great charisma when they greeted me. I ordered the giant sandwich & it was all that & a bag of chips.. it’s a bit pricey but for all that I got? It was well worth it!! I’ll be back again soon to try out the other great sandwich selections..👍🏼“

“Great for hanging out with family!“

“I received a coupon in the mail but unfortunately was having trouble using it due to the system claiming it had already been used/expired. Itzy generously helped me out with my little problem ? and provided me with the best sandwich I have had in years!!! She is so sweet and even went as far as to offer me recommendations. Love subway!!!“

“Work Lunch
If you want to dine in, diner style, with tablecloths on the table. Don't worry if you are ordering to go, the sandwiches stayed warm all the way back to the office.
And the best part is that it was all delicious! Everyone was happy with their choices!“

“Quality, flavorful, healthy. I went with the avocado and quinoa superfood ensalada. It was perfection. Order now… can’t wait to explore their menu! I’ll be a regular….well done.“

“The food was great, I ordered a Chunky Monkey Muffin, it was delicious!!! The service was nice the guy and girl at the counter were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was quiet there was not a big crowd, only another part of 2 people. The pesto sandwich I had was also good. The pasta was tasty, light and delicious. 🤤“

“I came with a group of 12 but ordered for 16 and our experience was perfect. The customer service was amazing and the cashier was super kind. The sandwhiches are fantastic and the bread is awesome. They have a variety of selection of chips and drinks including small brands. The food came out really quickly and there was free water and a restroom for customers. Fantastic sandwhich place and I would go again!“

“This is one of my favorite Firehouse restaurants. I don’t know why but the food just seems better here. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone. So much better than Subway!“

I have tried other Charley’s in the area and back in Chicagoland area and this is my favorite!! Came in today and DeMarcus made today a great experience, very friendly, ensured food was correct and when people have great service it makes you want to come back time and time again and spend your money. Wish more places understood that concept.“

She truly went above and beyond, making us laugh and smile the entire time while taking our order. She made our experience special and left us in such a good mood. Thank you for the outstanding service!“

“It's been awhile since I visited Charley's. This location simply has the Best customer service ever. Tip of the hat to Jocelyn!!! Very pleasant a well as accommodating. Sometimes the food isn't always the reason you patronize an establishment. Keep up the good service and tasty food!“

“Best sandwich place in Houston

Update: went to get a sandwich today and the girl behind the counter told us, she would not be able to serve us because she was backed up. She also stated that she was locking the door.
Guess Primos is off the rotation until they get their service together.“

“I recently visited Charleys Cheesesteaks and was assisted by Jasmine at the register. Jasmine provided outstanding customer service throughout my visit. She greeted me with a warm smile and was very patient while I decided on my order. Jasmine answered all my questions about the menu and made helpful recommendations, which I really appreciated.
She handled my transaction quickly and efficiently, ensuring that everything was correct. Jasmine also checked in to make sure I had everything I needed before I left the counter. Her friendly attitude and professionalism made my experience enjoyable, and she truly went above and beyond to make me feel welcome.
Overall, Jasmine is an excellent cashier who represents Charleys Cheesesteaks very well. I look forward to returning and hope to see her again!“

“I just have to say, I really love everything about this place! I tend to visit during the slower hours because it can get a bit hectic, but that just means I get to enjoy the experience more. Faith is always there to help me, and she’s amazing at finding the perfect item for me. I’ve tried at least 5 or 6 different things, and she always knows just what I’ll like.

I really appreciate the pledge they have in place that encourages you to try new things with the reassurance that you can swap it out if you don’t enjoy it. It’s such a fantastic way to get people like me to step out of our comfort zones. The unique flavors they offer keep me coming back for more, and I can’t wait to see what they come up with next! Highly recommend giving this place a shot—you won’t regret it!“
