50 Best Sandwich Shops in Houston

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

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

“I hate shopping at Walmart so Charlie's is my oasis rest spot. I try something different every time. The staff is always super nice. Dining area is always clean and quiet. I would agree that the food does seem to lack a little salt, but that's probably a good thing for all of us. The manager Joseph thanked us personally as we were leaving, and that was a nice touch.“

“I was going to add a photo but I was so hungry and it was so delicious that didn’t made it 🤣. We ordered gyros plates and dolmades and they were amazing. The fries are done at moment. The service is great highly recommended !“

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

“Our first restaurant choice (Buttermilk Baby) was a bust so we hopped on over across the street. Satisfied with our decision! Had the pesto pasta, chicken parm dip and the chicken pesto caprese (subbed mozzarella for goat cheese, and omg.)
Kids corner was too cute. Several kids used the tiny table while we were there.“

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

“Another Houston winner (I may just start a blog the way I’m eating Houston up 😂)! Visited this establishment this weekend and simply, The Bacon Jam Burger sliders…Delicious! That jam! Served with fries and extra Cajun season salt with the dynamite dip! My God! The staff was wonderful! Would recommend and definitely coming back to try the salads!“

“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.“

“Never disappoints! Friendly staff and fast service!“

“First time trying this place and it’s 10/10 amazing!!!“

“LIVE LAUGH LOVE BRANDON💘 he is the ultimate inspiration. He is the most elite employee ever. He in bodies what it means to be human.

Thank you man I preciate you so much and I wish you nothing but the absolute best. #givehimaraise#bestemployeeever“

“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“

“A good friend told us about this little gem of a restaurant; he often bought the banh mi to go for us at work and said they’re a great family-owned business.

Had time today to stop by and met Daniel, who immediately knew who we were when we said our friend would buy us their sandwiches. Daniel was super warm and inviting to my wife and I and we knew he valued our patronage and we knew we feel good about spending our hard-earned money with him.

He went over their selection and we decided to go for their wonderful deal of buy 5 sandwich and get the 6th one free along with drinks and some delicious Vietnamese yogurt. We got the thit nuong (BBQ) and the combo, and both were spectacular. I mean it, they were SPECTACULAR; the bread was toasty, yet soft and warm, the meats tasted perfectly seasoned & prepared and the veggies and pickled carrots were next-level fresh and many times, it’s the veggies that will make or break any banh mi. I’ve grown up eating many banh mi from many different restaurants all around SW Houston and Chinatown, and by far and hands down, Nguyen Ngoc’s is the best of the best.

Check ‘em out for sure and tell Daniel and his wonderful team and family David & Amy sent you.“

“Amazing experience! Valery provided outstanding customer service from the moment I walked in. She was incredibly sweet, patient, and welcoming. She took the time to recommend the best sandwich based on what I like, and her recommendation was absolutely delicious!

If you’re not sure what to order, ask for Valery. She’ll guide you through the menu, answer your questions, and help you choose the perfect sandwich. She truly made my visit enjoyable with her kindness and professionalism.

I highly recommend this location not only for the great food but also for the exceptional service. Thank you, Valery! I’ll definitely be coming back.“

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

“When I first entered the store they had someone handing out samples, I didn’t get her name but she was a nice young woman. I didn’t a lap around the Walmart and ended up coming back for more and Mr. Guillermo was my cashier, really cool dude. All around a good experience, waiting for my food now!“

“It's an old school sandwich shop that doesn't try fancy tricks, trendy bullshit, or a wild menu to get customers. The simplicity and old school feel make me enjoy coming in and the roast beef on that homemade bread keep me coming back at least once a week. Can't recommend enough of you want a hot sandwich in downtown.“

“They have the most friendly staff ever. They greet you when you walk in, talk to you and ask you how your day is and just make you feel welcomed. It’s not just one or 2 employees it’s everyone there. They are fast making your food to keep the line rolling and the food is always good and fresh. I absolutely love coming here. Thank you for being amazing.“

“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!“

“Excellent customer service“

“I went by today and everything was absolutely delicious! Wonderful beverage options, and even got to sample their miso soup!“

“Martha was great as soon as we walked in, she greeted us was happy to serve us. The subs were done to perfection with love!!! We had stopped at a different location but left because the employee was not pleasant as we walked in she was already in a bad mood, so we decided to drive a little further and it was so worth it!“

“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!“

“tapiocas and sandwiches are so good and flavorful“

“Great breakfast and delicious desserts! 👍🏿“

“Great place with awesome food and service.“

“Excellent service! They gave me a lemonade just for writing this review, but the food is good regardless—I really liked Combo #2. I also ordered a Philly cheesesteak. The restrooms are clean, the customer service is excellent, and the cheese and bacon fries are delicious.“

“I like the fried bun texture as a unique take on everyday sandwiches. The price is also reasonable. Tried the ham & cheese and it was packed.

The shop interior does show its age - but maybe upgrade some of it to at least not to be too dated overall“

“Not sure what the man’s name is that was working , but he made mine an my husbands sandwich perfectly!! He was all by himself but still took his time and made sure it was perfect. Greatly appreciated that. He is an amazing worker! And so friendly :)“

“good!“

“I had an amazing experience at Subway thanks to Andres! His customer service was truly outstanding honestly, a 10 out of 10, not just 5 stars. He was kind-hearted, patient, respectful, and made sure I was taken care of with such a warm and loving spirit.

What stood out the most was how genuinely appreciated and valued he made me feel as a customer. His positive attitude, attention to detail, and willingness to go the extra mile turned a simple visit into something truly memorable and uplifting. It is rare to encounter someone who serves others with such sincerity, compassion, and pride in their work.

It is not every day that you meet someone who goes above and beyond with such genuine care. Andres represented this Subway location with excellence, and I truly appreciate the way he served me.

Thank you, Andres, for making my visit such a positive experience. You are a blessing to this establishment!“

“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 at Corner Bakery Cafe was delicious. The wraps were huge and very filling, the oatmeal was excellent, and the parfaits were the perfect size. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal, and the quality and portions were impressive.

However, there was one serious issue that kept this from being a 5-star experience. My father-in-law and I both ordered oat milk lattes. He's lactose intolerant, and I'm allergic to milk. While waiting, I watched the drinks being made with almond milk instead of oat milk.

Fortunately, neither of us has a nut allergy, so it wasn't a problem this time. But what if someone did? Receiving a different milk alternative than the one ordered could be dangerous for customers with allergies. Likewise, I've previously been served dairy milk when I specifically ordered and paid extra for oat milk, and it can leave me sick for days.

The food was wonderful, but I hope the staff takes extra care when preparing specialty drink orders. For many customers, it's not just a preference. It's a health and safety issue.“

“Esmeralda was so kind and made my visit unforgettable. She went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect and the food was amazing! Her positive attitude and care really touched me. She made me feel welcome and happy—thank you Esmeralda, for being so amazing!“

“Nice and curtsy people food was good and fresh“

“Came in around 10PM and Jeremy was working alone and handled all the costumers, orders, and to-go orders alone without any help. I felt so bad for him because he had a ton on his hands but he did great and took care of every customer with a smile and got everyone in and out as quick as possible. Give him a raise, he was working his butt off!“

“Today's breakfast was absolutely delicious 😋 Anaheim scrambler with oatmeal and potatoes.... it was definitely Time to Eat!“

“Friendly helpful staff prepared a wonderful veggie sandwich and let me finish eating it in the restaurant even after closing time.“

“First timer, soon to be regular. Fresh, hot, tasty Philly cheesesteak. Friendly staff , fast service.“

“You guys made my sandwich the best today you guys never forget that I want ranch I appreciate y’all so much ? thx for all the good subs y’all always make for me , I’ll always stay loyal to only this location ! This is the only subway I’ll eat at
