50 Best Sandwich Shops near Mclean

“Love coming to this Charlie’s this is my favorite Charlie’s. Everyone here is amazing including the manager and all her other staff! I get the best customer service. They always remember my meal and the food is always amazing. 10 out of 10.“

“Had the pleasure of having lunch at Paul French Bakery and Cafe in Tysons Corner and what a charming place it is! Fabulous atmosphere, coffee, pastries and sandwiches and wonderful staff. It was a transportive place. I will return!“

“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 a nice shop. Quick and friendly service. I often get the breakfast sandwich and it is amazing!! Cute indoor decor with the flowers all over. I only wish they sold espresso-based coffee drinks again! This place is so much better than Life Alive next door.“

“I got the Turkey Special on Rye and it was just… okay? Reading the other reviews makes me wish I had checked them out for recommendations before placing my order, but I had high hopes based on the review average and pricing and was just a bit disappointed.

The shop itself was quite dull in atmosphere, and while I don’t expect every staff member to act like they work for disney, I did feel like I was inconveniencing them just by being there. I don’t know; I’ve lived in lots of places with local delis, and this one just didn’t hit the mark. I’d be willing to come back and try a more highly-recommended choice though!“

“First off, the staff are friendly, professional, and very helpful! They’re patient and always ready with great suggestions. If you can’t decide, you can even sample the chicken salads. They also checked in to make sure the food was to your enjoyment. The environment is upbeat and spotless — even the bathrooms are clean!

Now, on to the food! Everything is delicious 😋. The daily soups are savory and warm you right to the core. I had the Classic Carol on toasted wheat, and it did not disappoint! The prices are fair for the amount and quality of food you get. The food walls served very quickly, less than 5 minutes from ordering to get to your table! Highly recommend!

Looking forward to my next visit!!“

“We had breakfast there: omelette and croissants w/freshly brewed coffee! The place was very clean and the personnel was very friendly and patient. I would go back!“

“We got the bacon egg cheese croissant sandwiches. They are fresh & delicious. John drank coffee and said it was really good. I drank bottled water. I would eat here again.“

“Best sandwich I’ve ever had. I got the turkey and Brie. You can see the cranberry sauce/relish brewing right there in a big stainless steel pot on the stove right behind the cashier. Everything was warm and melty and delicious.

Great ingredients. Friendly staff. Good music playing. Fast service. Chill little tucked away spot. First time here so I can’t speak to rest of the menu but it’s gotta be great. Five stars.“

“We love the food ?“

“Always on point. Great food“

“Friendly & amazing customer service, and delicious food and drinks. Thank you!“

“Here from NC on business and needed some food. Maps suggested so I took a chance and boi was I glad to did.

Great recommendations while ordering! Bulgogi and a Tropical Sunrise Smoothie.

I don't always take pictures of my food. The smell coming from this plate compelled me like a moth to a flame!

If you're in the area, try them NOW!“

“This place... is so... GOOD. I can eat 30 pork wontons by myself. The worst thing about this place is I don't want to share with the rest of my family (it's Pentagon City prices but the only place around here that's actually worth the money).

It's a little hole in the wall with small area for seating. Also has some imported asain grocery items.“

“We didn’t try the food here but the coffee was wonderful! The people who served us were friendly and helpful. The inside (where we sat until outside chairs became available) was clean and cool temperature wise. The outside was shaded, comfortable and clean.“

“Banh Mi DC Sandwich is a go-to spot for fresh, flavorful Vietnamese sandwiches. The baguettes are crispy, the fillings are tasty and well-balanced, and the portion sizes are generous. It’s casual, quick, and perfect for a satisfying lunch or snack on the go.“

“I went into McAlester’s deli and I believe the cashier name was Iyana and she was so patient and welcoming! She was the best with assisting, helping and even suggesting things. She got me to buy a cookie and i didn’t even come there for a cookie lol. This is the type of service that makes you want to come back time after time. I want her to be my cashier every time!“

“A friend and I enjoyed a quick lunch here. I got the pork bibimbap bowl which came with steamed rice, lettuce, radish, carrots, green pepper, red cabbage, cucumber kimchi and a fried egg. With the spicy sauce, the bowl made for a filling meal, and I only had a small bit of the rice. My friend had a tuna salad sandwich, which was fine.“

“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.“

“This family-owned market in DC is a real hidden gem! The coffee is always fresh and flavorful, and the sandwiches are out of this world. Their Italian sub is a must-try—loaded with quality ingredients and packed with flavor. Friendly vibes, quick service, and everything feels made with care. Perfect spot for a coffee break or a hearty lunch, I’ll definitely keep coming back!“

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

“What a gem! Our large group visited twice, coming back for their freshly made breakfast platters and flavor packed sandwiches (get the from-scratch curry chicken salad!). The restaurant was clean, spacious, welcoming, and with a small outdoor patio. Prices were very reasonable and portions were hearty. Definitely returning for their salads next!“

“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!“

“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“

“JJ's is a small grill/diner with quick service, good prices, and my turkey bacon panini was great! Lots of options on the menu and they make everything all day. It seems like a husband and wife run the place and they were pleasant and helpful.“

“Excellent Subs! online website for pickup or delivery has been improved so you can select delivery online without any problems. This was partially due to the website connection to Doordash at the same time, even if you do not select them and are doing a delivery, not pickup. The employees at the store never see the directions. That goes to Doordash's website and must be sent over to another delivery company but on the website it is clear that Jersey Mike's prefers Doordash as they actually have it highlighted in blue and call it Jersey Mike's Preferred way to have delivery.
I just had a conversation with someone who was very nice at the Rockville Store. But just about confusion over the vinegar and olive oil which I explain if you keep reading. The confusion about the oil and vinegar if you want to keep an extra sub in the fridge and don't want the bread like it was dipped in water the next day. I was told what I thought was two different stories and the nice man just explained the confusion to me. I was told olive oil and then the vinegar are already together, which contradicts the check boxes on the website. The website is correct. What they do if you want them on the side is: they have already made on the side cups for both oil and the vinegar, both but in separate cups. They will only give you one or the other if you add a note to the "Customization" button. They will always give both to customers together otherwise, which explains the confusion and makes perfect sense to me. If they start taking from the premade pairs then they will end up with having just one or the other so they leave the pairs alone to go out together. What you don't know when ordering online is that they always sent out both unless you say literally "Oil on the side" under the "Customization" part of the order process, for example. Then they will go get an empty cup and pour you a side cup of oil directly from the olive oil bottle, same for just the vinegar. That is why managers told me they were both together at first which is really confusing when the website shows them separate.“

“It’s always a treat to get a Deli Combo when in Bethesda! Been going here since I was a kid!“

“I come in quite often as I am a salad lover and every time I come in I am always greeted with great enthusiasm and bright beams of energy which is always a pleasure. Thank you for the great food and service. The portions are very fulfilling also :)“

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

“there are better subs out there in this wide world of ours, but j. mike's (as i like to call it) does a pretty good job. i always forget what "mike's way" is, though, and i kinda feel like a jerk when they have to explain it to me for like the 6th time“

“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.“

“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.“

“Love this place. Nice selection of beer, wine and snacks. Associates are always friendly and helpful. I switched from leather to an electronic wallet all at once and their cashiers basically showed me how it worked. ? Thanks for everything, guys!“

“The service at this Subway is excellent! The staff is kind and works really hard, especially [Saman]. The place is clean, the food is fresh, and everything was prepared just the way I like it. Definitely one of the better Subways I’ve been to. Keep up the great work“

“The best Jersey Mike’s in Alexandria! I got the chicken salad sub and a #13 w/bacon for my wife. The chicken salad was delicious and you can’t go wrong with the #13 sub. Nice way to start my weekend and highly recommended. Friendly staff and quick service.“

“Great sandwich choices and excellent bread as well as contents“

“i get the Italian and you should too. literally it's that good. go get it¡“

“Absolutely delicious sandwiches and appetizers! And the staff was super friendly!“

“Had an amazing tuna sandwich at Sunway. Sandra from Subway took my order and prepared it very well.

I would like to come again!

“A hidden gem in Del Ray. Fantastic subs and a crazy selection of craft beers. So good.“

“On a busy Friday night of running around with the kiddos, it’s hard to grab a bite. I was taking my son to a school function and noticed while driving the “Jetties” sign. I knew after dropping off my son, dinner was going to be from Jetties. I was able to find street parking, and was warmly greeted upon walking into the restaurant. Being a previous customer from other locations, I knew I was going to use the kiosk to place my order. While I waited for my food to be served, I was able to walk around. There was ample outdoor seating with lights, looking like a rather romantic area with umbrellas and wooden tables. Within minutes, my order was ready! I order the Tom Never, and my wife order the thirty salad. Both meals were delicious, warm, with generous portions sizes. The one reminder is that Jetties is a cashless restaurant, and they truly value their customers. If you’re looking for great food at a reasonable price, please consider Jetties, you will not regret it. Enjoy!“

“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 👍“

“⚠️ This Panera is located within a hospital system and to avoid confusion, enter at the WOMEN'S HOSPITAL entrance ⚠️

Parking is free for the first 30 minutes in the parking garage.

This Panera location has limited seating but offers a full menu 24 hours a day.“

“*The menu prices from what is pictured have gone up a few dollars, fyi*
Super legit sandwich shop located inside some kind of mixed offices building, very close to the metro. From cold sandwiches to wraps to the hot stuff, these guys really know whats up. Very kind and efficient staff without too many frills. Skip that Potbelly down the street, this is the best sandwich spot you'll find south of the Potomac.“

“I love this location, except the parking is hard. Days when schools are out tell it all - tons of families here eating great food at decent prices, plus the businessman regulars looking bemused that their usual quiet hangout has gone Lord of the Flies.“

“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.“

“I didn’t find much online about the menu at Café Aria beyond mentions of pizza, sandwiches (with no details on the types), and rice bowls. Wanting to try something new without straying too far from the office, I decided to check it out.

Café Aria is a charming little spot with plenty of seating, and it seems to be a popular place for both dine-in and takeout.

As a first-time visitor, the ordering process was a bit unclear. Quick tip: if you're ordering a sandwich, head to the sandwich window; for everything else, go straight to the cashier.

I ordered the bulgogi rice bowl, which is made fresh to order—so it takes a bit of time. Fair warning: the smell of sizzling meat is strong, and I walked out with my hair smelling like I’d just worked the grill myself. If your hair or clothes tend to hold onto cooking smells, keep that in mind.

That said, the food was absolutely delicious. If it hadn’t been a Friday, I definitely would’ve saved the leftovers for lunch the next day.“

“something quick, delicious and friendly staff.“
