50 Best Sandwich Shops near West Falls Church

“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!“

“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.“

“We walked in to Chicken Salad Chick about 30 minutes before they were set to close for the holiday. The team and manager encouraged us to stay as long as we liked, and offered us as many samples as we wanted. The service and the food were SO nice. Major kudos to the manager.“

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

“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.“

“We love the 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 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 :)“

“We enjoyed a quick supper and it was fabulous! Great service, generous portions, reasonable prices and yummy too! Thanks for a wonderful first visit...“

“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 :)“

“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. ❤️❤️“

“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 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.“

“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! ✅“

“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!“

“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 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!“

“Had a wonderful experience at Subway today! The food was fresh, delicious, and prepared perfectly. What truly stood out was the amazing hospitality from the staff — everyone was welcoming, friendly, and attentive throughout the visit. It’s always great to see customer service delivered with genuine care and positivity. Thank you for making the experience so enjoyable. Definitely looking forward to visiting again! 😊“

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

“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.“

“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“

“You know exactly what to expect at a Jersey Mikes. It’s hard to screw up a fresh sub but Jersey Mikes luckily (for me) always knocks it out of the park.

I am writing this review though for the staff. This location is near my work and I go somewhat regularly. Often enough to notice what a great team you have at this store. They are friendly, seem happy to be there and genuinely interested in making your sandwich just the way you want it. They say hello to everyone who walks in the door and several by name who must be regulars.

Kudos to the team and leadership. That kind of work culture takes a lot of time and effort to create and maintain and it keeps me coming back as a customer.

My favorites are the Italian on Parm bread Mikes way with relish. The cheesesteak, add bacon. The Tuna is always good too.“

“This is a fantastic local spot for a fresh and reliable meal, especially if you’re looking for high-quality sandwiches and salads. The atmosphere is casual and bright, with a fun coastal vibe that makes it feel like a quick escape to the beach. I was really impressed by the generous portions and the freshness of the ingredients; you can definitely tell that everything is made to order with care. The service is fast and friendly, making it a great choice for a busy lunch hour or a relaxed weekend bite. It’s a consistent and welcoming destination that offers a great variety of healthy and delicious options in a very comfortable setting.“

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

“La comida es buena pero son demasiado de lentos 30 min esperando mi orden... ll“

“Delicious 😋 sub love 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.“

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

“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.“

“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 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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“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.“

“This deli is hidden and tucked away but is a gem of a find. It has a classic workplace deli feel and the staff knows people and their orders by name, which tells you a lot about how good the food is. It’s really well priced and it’s surprisingly good for being a workday deli. It can be a bit slow during the lunch rush since they are small but it’s definitely worth the wait.“

“Stopped by this Subway today and had a really good experience. The staff was friendly, patient, and made my sandwich exactly how I wanted it. Everything looked fresh and the place was clean. My order was ready quickly and tasted great. I will definitely come back again. Thank you for the great service!“
