50 Best Sandwich Shops near Mclean

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Since moving to Arlington, Earl’s Sandwiches has become our go-to, absolute favorite location for quality sandwiches! Everything’s fresh, delicious…and made with quality ingredients. Finally, a sandwich shop where you don’t have to settle for processed deli turkey; at Earl’s they roast their own daily, and we love the delicious chunks of meat. It’s like a homemade Thanksgiving dinner, but available in 15 minutes! Love the monthly specials.“

“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.“

“Always on point. Great food“

“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!!“

“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’d like to share my appreciation for the excellent service provided by Muhammad and Waway and also the very polite and nice one aynalem. They were anll incredibly professional, patient, and attentive throughout the entire interaction. They made sure all my concerns were addressed clearly and went above and beyond to ensure I was satisfied. Their positive attitude and willingness to help truly made a difference. Thank you all for such outstanding customer service!“

“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!!“

“The seasonal coffees are the best :)“

“Excellent, efficient and clean establishment. Food was ready when I walked in to pick it up at 10-15 min after I placed the order. The Tejas BBQ brisket taste was fantastic. The SriPraPhai drunken noodles with tofu was so-so. Its taste profile was more like Pad Thai than drunken noodles I have had from prior restaurants, so would not get this again. The taste wasn't bad, but not what I expected. Overall, I would still return and try this food concept chain again (similar to a food court in a mall with many restaurant options but with a small pick up window and assembly room in the 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!“

“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.“

“Ingredients are fresh, service is quick, customer service friendly! The bulgolgi sub ran me $18.07 for just the sandwich itself. It's a bit pricey imo, making this place a special occasion to stop by rather then being a regular weekly visit for your average customer. I would repeat 🔁 just not all the time :)“

“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.“

“The good: Omar was great and he was so helpful and nice, he even went over the deals of the day. The other lady not so much, she had bad attitude, and rude come backs when she barely put cheese on the sandwich and then when I asked her which sandwich had jalapeños she asked Omar to open the sandwich because she didn’t remember. Her attitude was terrible! All she had to do was make a mark on the sandwich that was different, that was it. The only reason I take a star is because of her attitude, other than that it was good service.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I worked in this area of K St. for about 4 months and AHRA Cafe was my GOTO!! They have a great variety of food, kind staff and a relaxing atmosphere for Business. Clean relaxing and quiet place to get some work done out of your office. Get the steak and cheese you won’t regret!“

“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!“

“Outstanding Service and Exceptional Management!
This Subway location truly stands out, and a big reason for that is the incredible manager, Estella. From the moment I walked in, the store was spotless, well-organized, and welcoming. The staff worked efficiently and courteously, which clearly reflects Estella’s strong leadership.
Estella goes above and beyond to make customers feel valued—greeting guests warmly, ensuring orders are made exactly right, and stepping in to help the team whenever needed. It’s rare to see a manager so hands-on, professional, and genuinely caring about both customers and employees.
The food is consistently fresh, accurately prepared, and served promptly, even during busy times. You can tell this location is run with pride, attention to detail, and high standards.
If every Subway had a manager like Estella, the experience would be exceptional everywhere. Highly recommended—this location is a perfect example of excellent customer service!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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 .“

“Super good place for quick take out. Great to find a place with several delicious, hot vegetarian options. I got the felafel. It was delicious and perfectly spicy. I walked across the street to the park and had a very nice lunch.

Vegetarian options: Felafel, grape leaves, etc.“

“This place has good food and sandwiches but the smallest things matter to me and therefore i’m so disappointed in when simple needs are not met, service was friendly staff was nice but i saw them training a new girl i suppose with my salad prep, and i get home after a long day excited to eat and my dressing is not there , i asked for it to be put ON the salad, there’s not even a side dressing in the bag, nothing …. now im sitting here taking slow bites of my dry dressingless salad…18$ at that“

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

“I would just like to take a moment to thank Chris for his patience, understanding, and professionalism when receiving my particular order requests each time I visit. When I come to this location, I know fully well that my order, as specific as it can be, will be fulfilled to perfection. Everytime I visit this location, Chris ensures my order is perfect to the letter, with absolutely confidence. I receive no greater solace knowing that the staff at this rockville pike location can provide me my request without fault and to the letter. I will continue to come to this specific location in Rockville.“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“Had the executive platter, chicken pesto pasta, and numerous salad options for a company gathering of 50plus people. All staff reported their delight with the food, and it truly made a positive impression on all involved. We appreciate the effort and care Nick and the Brown Bag staff put into making the experience memorable. Given the wonderful feedback, we look forward to working with your establishment again very soon.“

“Had Charley for lunch about 2 days ago, and was satisfied with the customer service between different clients and the rush hour they were going through. I ordered a Philly cheesesteak, with fries and a coke and a small Chicken buffalo sandwich. I absolutely recommend the Philly it’s a classic can’t go wrong, the fries are crunchy, not soggy or floppy and is decent size 10/10. The chicken buffalo felt like it needed more flavor from the chicken, most was from the sauce it was still delicious and still ate it, 7.8/10. Overall even busy I was given good service and got my food in a nice manner and it was tasty. 🙌“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“
