50 Best Sandwich Shops in Houston

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

“Incredible is the word and Charley's is the meaning. Service, efficiency and charisma are some of the adjectives that characterize this institution. Whether it's a cone or an Old School, I can't wait to go again to taste the delicacies served there. 5 stars absolutely in everything. Keep it up!!!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“LOVE LuLoo’s and Blood Bros. The menu is creative without being pretentious. I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad meal at either. Get the pretzel and okra for sure. Sandwiches and wraps are HUGE and so flavorful. I’m sure the rest of the menu is stellar as well, just haven’t quite made my way through it yet. 😜“

“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“

“Nguyen Ngoc is definitely a hidden gem! The owner is so kind and welcoming. I called in an order for 6 sandwiches and mentioned I was just a few minutes away.

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!“

“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..👍🏼“

“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!!!“

“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. 🤤“

“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 really love this hidden gem it, I literally drive from Rosenberg to buy their baos and asian tamales. The owner is so sweet and they lock their doors because crime is high so just call them or knock they will open if its within their business hours.
Their baos are excellent and prices r better than Chinatown. Its like comfort food for me“

“Food is top notch. I get workers depend on tips for a lot of their pay. But to have the cashier remind everyone that they can add a tip, “though it’s not required” comes across as pushy or demanding. The tip jar is right there. The computer screen even suggests it. And I do tip. But I am uncomfortable being put in a position where I feel pushed to leave one.“
