15 Best Sandwich Shops in Arlington

“The place to get a decent sandwich that actually tastes amazing. The flavor profile is fantastic. There are many options available such as turkey, pork, beef, and vegetarian. It's more of a fast casual spot but it's definitely not fast food. Overall, it's a great local spot that cares for its craft.“

“I’d like to share my appreciation for the excellent service provided by Muhammad and Waway and also the very polite and nice one aynalem.

Thank you all for such outstanding customer service!“

“Got here at 8am and there wasn't even a line. Quick turnover on orders and kind professional staff.

Breakfast sandwich was filling---They don't skimp on their portions.

Get a Korean iced coffee, you won't regret it.“

“The food, coffee and service was excellent as usual !“

“Nice spot.

Staff are all on top of things and run a tight ship. Place is always clean and stocked.

I’ve had many of their sandwiches and some of their soups. I’ve always been pleased. I particularly like the spicy sandwiches.

I’ve lived in one of the apartments above the shop for a few months now, and can attest to the quality being consistent over a 6 month period.“

“Wow, I'm SO excited to have a great sandwich shop in Ballston!!!! The sandwiches are so freaking good, and I'm usually not big on fries or home-made chips, but I finished it all, they're both so delicious. The bread is so good too, and everything is reasonably priced. This is going to be my go-to sandwich place in the area. I can't wait to try their cocktails next!“

“The owner is friendly and lovely. The food is prepared quickly and tastes great. Since the area is currently under renovation, only takeout is available. She gave us candy and snack, and even provided extra plain rice for free. We truly appreciate it.“

“I was new to the area and just finished a job and was extremely hungry. After scrolling around I found a place that had some food I recognized. Little did I know it would be one of the best plates I’ve had EVER! I had the chicken wings with O.G. Hot Sauce. OMG!!! The crispy breading. The flavor. The tender meat. I couldn’t stop licking my fingers. The waffle fries were well seasoned and fresh. I enjoyed myself thoroughly. I also want to add that the hostess was so patient with me because I didn’t have a clue what I was going to get. Absolutely outstanding. Five stars all around.“

“Got a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich and a Diet Coke. It was Vet good“

“I’m vegetarian and I had the help of Anghy to chose my hoagie based on my diet. She recommended the cumberland.
Staff is friendly but the hoagie bread was a bit dry, overall I recommend coming here for the service, and possibly asking for extra sauce on the side.“

“The chain makes some mighty tasty subs; between this and Potbelly, I don’t tend to get subs elsewhere. This shop is tiny (two 4-top tables, two 2-top) and the staff is friendly. Parking garage is free for 30 minutes (you have to walk thru CVS, or out the entry ramp, to reach the sidewalk and get to Jersey Mikes.). No validation offered for longer stays.“

“I had a fantastic experience at Jersey Mike's Subs - Clarendon, and I especially want to recognize Nick for going above and beyond.

From the moment I walked in, Nick was welcoming, professional, and genuinely friendly. He handled a busy rush with ease, stayed attentive to every customer, and made sure each order was prepared perfectly. My sub was made exactly as requested — fresh, generous with the toppings, and neatly wrapped. You can tell he takes pride in both the quality of the food and the overall customer experience.

What stood out most was Nick’s positive attitude and attention to detail. Even during a busy period, he made the interaction feel personal and unhurried. That level of service makes a big difference and is the reason I’ll gladly return to this location.

Highly recommend this Jersey Mike’s in Clarendon — and if Nick is working, you’re in great hands!“

“Friendly Staff. Clean Establishment.- Very quick, there never seems to be a long wait.- Staff was friendly, kind, and able to answer all questions.- The establishment was very clean, had televisions, and a nice atmosphere.- Would recommend for a quick bite on the go.“

“As good as any subway can be. Hours are weird as one of the days, they close at 4pm. I seem to have forgotten a pair of gloves after leaving shortly before closing. I ran back thinking I could find them there and they just insisted "No" because it was after closing time. It was correctly listed. Perhaps it is a DC thing. Will still go back next time I'm staying in that area.“

“A subway is a subway, foodwise, but service can really make all the difference for customers. I'd like to share the great experience I had yesterday coming in from a snowstorm. Nasir was helpful, make pleasant conversation, and even offered me a small plastic bag to carry my books in to avoid them getting drenched in the storm. It's that kind of above and beyond kindness that makes me want to continue coming back to this Subway location. I would recommend it in particular.“
