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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“Every time I'm anywhere near Earl's while out doing errands I stop in and get a sandwich. Now this is the way a lunch sandwich should be- clearly REAL turkey meat, fresh lightly toasted multigrain bread, green (not white/yellow) lettuce and (in my favorite case) real cranberry spread. So good and reasonably-priced; I could eat lunch here many days/week if I were in the area more frequently.“

“Always on point. Great food“

“the women taking my order and cutting the bread was just rude, to the point I didn't want to ask any questions. Luckily another employee came from the back and finished my order. Even though that experience made me want to leave. I’m glad I stayed. The food was great and the Restaurant was very clean.“

“I gave 5 starsbecause the energy I received when entering, the staff, the atmosphere felt like I walked in someone’s kitchen ready to throw down were all so good🤗 I can not wait to visit again another day for lunchtime lol. I was looking for places near me and this particular place caught my eye with the reviews. It definitely did not disappoint. Thank you!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We love the food ?“

“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!!“

“The seasonal coffees are the best :)“

“Prego Again is a great spot for fresh, flavorful Italian sandwiches and pasta dishes. The bread is soft and fresh, the fillings are generous, and everything tastes homemade. It’s casual and friendly — perfect for a quick, satisfying meal or takeout.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I recently visited this spot and had an absolutely wonderful experience from the moment I walked through the doors. If you're looking for fantastic Asian cuisine, this place definitely needs to be on your radar.

​First off, the service is incredibly friendly and welcoming. The staff made us feel right at home immediately, and one of my favorite highlights was the complimentary hot tea they provided right as we sat down. It’s such a comforting, traditional touch that really sets a relaxing tone for a great meal.

​As for the menu, the food was simply great. Everything we ordered came out piping hot, beautifully plated, and packed with incredible flavor. You can tell they really care about the quality of their ingredients and the authenticity of their dishes. The meal completely exceeded my expectations.
​One quick heads-up for anyone planning to visit specifically for the market: the attached grocery portion of the business is currently shut down. It didn't negatively impact our dining experience at all, but it’s definitely good to know if you were planning to pick up some ingredients after your meal.

​Overall, between the top-notch food, the stellar and attentive service, and the cozy atmosphere, it was a fantastic visit. I will absolutely be coming back again soon to explore more of the menu. Highly recommend!“

“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 !“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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 :)“

“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.“

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

“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“

“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.“

“This Panera Bread location has always had a special place in my heart because of what my mom has shared about her experience at the hospital. The food is comforting and familiar, which really matters in a hospital environment.

I hope to come back in the future and revisit this place again.“

“I frequently drive past this place without ever being able to stop by! But I finally got the chance about 2 weeks ago and today!! UberEats has a deal with BOGO on their “Nobadeer” sandwich! Imagine!!.. Thanksgiving in a sandwich!! Sooo delicious! I’m excited to try what else they have! It all looks so good!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great subs. The veggie is generous with cheese and this time the slicer wiped down the machine before cutting my cheese and the sub maker changed his gloves, both without me asking. I thanked them both. FYI, you can ask for those touches but not having to made me feel respected in a place that mostly sells meat. Five stars earned. Don't sleep on the whole wheat sub roll here, it's delicious.“

“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“

“I just love the Vegan Sandwich.. Thank you for offering me a place to go for lunch with my friends and still feel "normal". Awesome .“

“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.“

“Food was just pretty good, nice tasting sandwiches maybe a bit overpriced but it’s the airport so it makes sense, the service was exceptional though, anghy at the front asked us about our day and made sure our sandwich was made exactly how we wanted it. Wish there was a place to sit but again, it’s the airport so it’s what we expect. Overall a great meal and we’d visit again the next trip we take“

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

“I order Brown Bag catering through my work for our events, and their service is incredible. Nick has been incredibly helpful with my orders and the delivery drivers are always in a cheerful mood! They always arrive on time and our agents absolutely love the sandwiches. I highly recommend Brown Bag catering services!“

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

I would like to come again!

“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!“

“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.“

“The veggie patty sandwiches are always at this location and it always makes my sandwich more filling. I love the topping selection they have and it was the Safeway I grew up with in my old neighborhood, I will always order from this location.

Vegetarian options: The veggie patty is a game changer for vegetarians such as myself. I noticed a large difference in how much faster I got hungrier eating a sandwich without the veggie patty compared to when it was present. Plus it’s freaking delicious“
