50 Best Sandwich Shops near Fairfax Station

“I had a great experience at this Subway location! The restaurant was clean, the ingredients were fresh, and the service was fast. Sam was awesome,very friendly, patient, and made my sandwich exactly the way I like it. It’s not common to find someone who cares about the customer experience as much as Sam does. I’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommended! ✅“

“Honestly, if you are a chicken salad lover, this is the place to go. The chicken salad is so good and it comes in so many different varieties from Sweet to spicy to savory to salty to pickle. It’s amazing! The older servers Didn’t really seem engaged or pay attention to me when I was coming up to the front to order but honestly it doesn’t take away from the atmosphere, which is very cozy and southern brunch kitchen style. This is absolutely a go to place for me from now on“

“Our go-to sandwich joint. Jay is the best!“

“The staff was welcoming and the food was excellent! I chose a dish from the specialty menu - Banh mi Bo Ne (Beef steak). This contemporary take on the sizzling beef steak, accompanied by pate, a fried egg, and crinkle-cut fries, is served on a hot cast iron plate. It includes freshly baked bánh mì bread. Ideal for either lunch or dinner!“

“The Sandwich Shop is awesome! I’ve had every sandwich a few times, and some dozens of times. They are all great. And the fries are the best! But if you don’t want fries, get the cheesy bacon tater tots! You can’t go wrong. This is a real gem in Vienna.“

“This is my go to coffee spot and you really can’t beat the price. Even when I add oat milk to my lattes my total is usually around $5.50- much cheaper than most coffee shops in the area. I love the brown butter toffee and the blueberry cobbler lattes. Some of the workers definitely make the lattes better than others- on a one off occasion my latte tasted like nothing as if they didn’t put any of the flavored syrups in. Their strawberry lemonade is also very good! In terms of sandwiches, I love the chunky dunk and my boyfriend is a big fan of the club sub- even claiming it’s the best sandwich he’s ever had. Ive been coming to this spot since they were a little shack down the street- I love it!“

“I come here about 2-3 times a month. I’ve explored many Banh Mi shop in the area, and this is officially my top pick. When you factor in the high quality of the meat and the affordable price point, it’s hard to beat. Beyond the sandwiches, they have a great selection of grab-and-go items on display if you're looking for variety. If you’re in the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and pick up a Banh Mi—you won’t be disappointed!“

“I go here all the time and the best ppl, best customer service, really good food. It hasn’t been so long since I found out about this place and when I first had it, it was soooo good!!! My sisters are picky and they even said it was really good. Ther bao buns are also so good!!! I highly recommend it and I feel like the price is really good too!!“

“Donny is the best at the Lorton Market location!! He was very helpful..he will make your day!“

“This place is top notch. Stopped by for lunch and it was packed inside. The lady took my order and they began cooking it immediately. I got my steak and cheese with fries in a few minutes and it was one of the best I've ever had. 10/10 will go back.“

“The service was quick, folks were nice, subs were AWESOME!“

“This is my favorite Subway. I have been to many subways in my lifetime. I've never been impressed to where I thought I'd write a review. I've come here three times so far and each time I was greeted with a smile. The vegetables are always fresh and the store is always clean. The employees are always patient with me and my kids because we never know what we want. One day I had gotten off of work and got some mud in the store from my boots. They were not angry at all, definitely didn't do it on purpose, but they could see how exhausted and hungry I was at the time. Because of how nice they are to me, my family and the atmosphere this will be my forever subway! Keep doing what you're doing. ❤️❤️“

“Food is great as always, but the customer service was amazing. Kay was very welcoming to my toddler and made him feel like that subway was his home lol she was very friendly and kind and even though I was very indecisive, she was very patient and even helped me make my decision. Something so small goes a long way. Especially when you are rushing and constantly running after a toddler. Kay made us feel very comfortable! I will make sure to come to this subway when I am in that area.“

“This is the only Subway location that I like. Always clean with fresh ingredients. The employees here are friendly and efficient. Many Subways I’ve visited in recent years have become dirty and poorly run with ingredients that look old, so this is the only one I go to now. This spot has been consistently well-run for many years.“

“I love this place because it has many food options, everything is very delicious ✨“

“Excellent customer service! Those serving were personable and kind. The food was prepared well. Very good!“

“This place is sooooo goood my mom and I love it I got the meatball sub and steam dumplings 🥟 yummmmm my mom got tuna sandwich it was good then I got a tea it is good and the man is kind I told him about some of the plants he has and the people are kind I would really recommend this place“

“Not only do they have the BEST Italian sub (and I eat a lot of Italian subs) but they are also great people who give back to the community and work with local nonprofits. I ❤️ Jersey Mike’s Reston“

“First time EVER at jersey mikes. Heard about it and coworkers that eat their on occasion. I had a buffalo GIANT chicken cheesesteak. It was very good. I'm going to come back again and again.“

“I recently visited Panera and had such a pleasant experience overall. The atmosphere was clean, and the customer service truly stood out!
It was actually Easter, and I had a long, emotional day—I had taken my mother to the hospital and, being 8 months pregnant, I hadn’t eaten yet. I was exhausted and overwhelmed. But an employee named Anthony completely turned my day around.
His attitude was amazing—so polite, patient, and genuinely kind. He treated me with such care and respect, and in that moment, it meant everything. This is exactly the kind of customer service we need more of today.
I’m so grateful for that experience—it’s honestly going to be a core memory for me of how customer service should be. God bless him!“

“This was my first time at Firehouse Subs. I ordered the steak and cheese on garlic bread along with french fries. I can honestly say this was the best steak and cheese I’ve ever had and I loved the thick fries. I originally went to purchase a Thanksgiving turkey sub, but they were limited time only and I missed out, I bet it was as good as a commercial showed. Either way I will be back!!!“

“It was very good food the sandwich were fresh and the bread was oven toasted so good and there fires were good“

“I like all of the McAlister’s in my area, but I like coming back to this location because of the great service. Mekdi is so sweet and professional, and greets you with a smile. She was also very patient when I came in with my grandmother a few weeks ago, which I deeply appreciated.“

“FREE SUB!!❤❤Thank you, thank you!!“

“I was hesitant to stop here because I wanted a sit down restaurant for breakfast, however I am very glad I did!! I ordered Breakfast #1 (2 eggs, meat, potatoes and toast) for $6.99 and devoured the eggs before I thought to take a pic.
Very clean. Ladies behind counter are very nice. Food was excellent. Will be coming back if in Fairfax.“

“Good to see a business support the local Fire Departments and they have superb tasty subs....“

“If you're craving a sub sandwich that actually tastes fresh, this is the place. The moment you walk in, you can smell the difference — not overly processed or reheated, but real deli meats sliced to order and stacked high on soft, fresh-baked bread.
Every bite of my sandwich was packed with flavor. The meats were tender, perfectly seasoned, and clearly fresh-cut, not the pre-packaged stuff you get at chain sub shops. You can taste the difference — the texture, the moisture, even the way it pairs with the cheese and toppings. Everything from the crisp lettuce to the juicy tomatoes was bright and cold, like it had just come out of the garden.

They also don’t skimp on portions. The sandwich was hefty, but balanced, not just meat piled on for show. The bread held up well without being too dense, and the spreads added just the right kick without overpowering the ingredients.
You can tell this place takes pride in doing things right. If you’re tired of soggy chain subs or mystery meat, this spot will restore your faith in a classic deli sandwich.

Highly recommended — fresh, filling, and worth every bite!“

“Subway is a go to staple of mine. Today due to many factors I needed to buy lunch and was on 123. I saw this subway and pulled in. First off they greeted me as I entered. Nice touch. The store was adequately staffed and turning sandwiches fast. Everyone was friendly and professional. I ordered the subway club which is thankfully back on the menu. When I started eating my sandwich the first thing I noticed was the roll. This was much better then any subway I have been to. The roll had a nice crust and was soft and fluffy on the inside like it should be. All the ingredients tasted fresh and I have never been happier with a sandwich from subway in all the years I have been going (20+) Great crew at this location.“

“This is the best subway branch in entire USA. The restaurant was very clean and hygienic. Food was delicious as usual. Staffs were very friendly. Specially Mr. Obaidul was amazing. He went above and beyond to serve us. I enjoyed and loved their service. I highly recommend this location.“

“Very good good. I will be back“

“This deserves five stars the kind ladies working at the counter gave me and my son two free cookies which would usually cost around four dollars. There were so nice. My son got the boss. He said I loved it. Can we go hear more and I said yeah totally worth going here“

“I’m on the road a lot every week and stop at Jersey Mikes regularly, This Store always has the most awesome friendly staff. Keep up the great work 👍“

“We ordered a couple of sandwich boxes from this location for a graduation/ going away party. The manager reached out to me to see what else they could do to help! Sandwiches were ready on time and fresh. Will definitely do this again.“

“Stopped by Jersey Mike’s Subs in Lorton today around 11:15 and had a really great experience. The three men working there greeted me right away with friendly smiles, let me know about the bundle deal, and made the whole visit smooth and pleasant. It’s always nice to feel welcomed and taken care of—definitely appreciate the great customer service! Great start to a Monday!“

“Absolutely the BEST customer service I have ever received. The entire staff was friendly from the moment I walked in until I left. They not only were very quick with getting my order and professional, but they immediately started a conversation with me and had huge smiles on their faces and really seemed to care about how my day was going. Additionally, I have celiac disease so it is hard for me to trust the cross-contamination from fast food places, but they took extra steps to ensure I felt safe and could enjoy a sandwich. They changed out their gloves, thoroughly wiped down the entire station including the island and meat cutter machine. They also got a brand new knife and cutting board as well. I will definitely be going here again and am very impressed with the safety standards here as well as the awesome customer service 👏🏻“

“Nice submarine sandwiches. Tasty.“

“Camila makes a killer sub. I’ve been eating at this Subway for a while, and so far Camila is by far the best sub maker since I started ordering there. I hope she’s working next time I come by or order online.

Vegetarian options: I get the veggie sub, wish they had a fish sub not just a tuna sub with a ton of mayo.“

“I frequent the store occasionally for lunch to take to work, and the people are always so kind and friendly..The young lady, who is the manager and speaks both English and Spanish, is always enthusiastic and helpful, and you can tell she enjoys helping people.. I highly recommend if you're in the area“

“I needed a quick lunch for the kids and myself, between Saturday activities, so we decided to try Subway in the Franklin Farm shopping center. Excellent choice as it turns out. The staff is very friendly and patient, the place is very clean and bright and the food was fresh and tasty. We tried a few new menu items, like the seasoned steak and avocado sandwich, and we are very pleased. It's a nice place to go and grab lunch for a reasonable price.“

“The people who serve are very friendly and attentive, they give the sudways exactly as you order them, meaning the order comes complete, in my opinion it has been one of the best sudways I have been to, they serve both in English and Spanish!“

“Expensive but the food is fresh, staff is friendly and the restaurant is clean.“

“I had a fantastic experience at this Subway! The bread was absolutely perfect—fresh, soft, and baked just right, which really made the whole sandwich stand out. You can tell they take pride in quality. The employees were all incredibly friendly, efficient, and welcoming, making the visit even more enjoyable. A special shoutout to the manager, Olivia, who clearly does an amazing job leading the team. Her positive attitude and attention to detail really show in how smoothly everything runs. Overall, this location goes above and beyond—definitely one of the best Subway experiences I’ve had!“

“Wonderful!“

“Finally made it down the road to try Rising Son Restaurant. It was great. We ordered the Hashed Out for breakfast and split it. It consisted of ground sausage, bacon, onion, jalapeños, potatoes, cheddar cheese, chives, and pico de gallo and sour cream on the side. It was huge. And way more than enough for 2“

“Eddie is the best!! He made our sandwiches super fast and keeps the spot squeaky clean. This location honestly is the cleanest I’ve been to and all the staff always make 🔥 sandwiches.

Shout out to Eddie for being a vibe!!“

“The only excellent customer service there is Lisa, always with smile and the sub is made exactly the way I wan it. I hope the other ladies get some train in customer service. The Asian ladies are always upset, and are so rude. They need to be replaced!“

“This location is okay. My sandwiches have tasted fine. My biggest complaint is that the bread is not always cooked well- it has been thin and smashed most times I order for pick up :(

*update: the employees working today (4/10) were friendly and kind. I was having card issues, but they gave me time to figure it out. I appreciated their kindness and professionalism. My sandwich is super yummy today too!“

“Great customer service and i loved there side soups yummy 😋“
