41 Best Sandwich Shops in Milwaukee

“Went for the first time today for a doggo lunch date with muh fur baby. Wonderful staff and quick service. I noticed negative reviews complaining there was dogs, well no crap it’s the business model and there’s an actual picture of a dog on the door and logo. ANYWAYS price is a little steep but when I got my food holy cow it was delicious. And I love that they have dog friendly menu items available as well. The place is super clean for the amount of guests and animals that come through. Loved that the food pickup and service area is separate from dining. The only downfall was I did pay for pickles and there wasn’t any but I didn’t even notice it until I devoured the first half of my food. No big deal. I ordered the steak sandwich and strawberry limeade which I also love is made by hand with fresh fruit. My dog is now sleeping in a food coma as am I.“

“Unbelievable sandwiches, can’t wait to go back! Was in town from Chicago and dropped by before heading home, best decision ever! Even got a sammich to go!“

“Best value for the money, and the best corned beef! So many variations and wonderful staff. I've seen the owners start and grow this place to be a wonderful part of the neighborhood. Update: Today's visit is no different, same warm undertones, Owners are very sage and savvy, handle the rush and complexities well. Today's peak hour visit I heard the outside speaker calling numbers and saw people excited to run in to collect some of the best ?? sandwiches in the city. I've brought many here, they have made this place their own as well, lbvs. Family run place, closes at a "family time"- no late nights. A true neighborhood business- I love it

Parking: With the street renovations, most park on either side of the street, or the street to the East near the corner so you can crack the window and hear your number called if you choose to wait in your car ? ? ...“

“Today is Sunday, March 30, 2025 I purchased food yesterday a 10 piece chicken, classic wings Cajun fries, mozzarella sticks.! Now, when I walked in, it was the best atmosphere the owner welcomed me in. He asked me what I was there for. He helped me right away. There was no issues. The food was great. There was literally not one thing wrong. This food was great and amazing. I’m a regular customer. I also buy the chicken cheesesteaks so yes thank you“

“I totally am convinced the best bartenders that have a service that is always positive and smiling are the ones that can bring people together when others are struggling. I can say Booker did make a impact with just smiling, joking about his life, and connecting with me. I been here once before and it wasn't like this experience. So honestly to Booker, thank you for being kind!“

“Love the Chicken, Rice, and Gravy.🥰“

“The subs are great, really fresh bread even when you order close to closing time. I have Celiac and ask that they make mine up normal but put it in a dish for me to transfer to my own baguette. Very accommodating!“

“Good service and burgers.“

“The food is great... Most of the time. There's been a couple of times where the meat was unbearably salty or it wasn't made the way I asked. It's a good place that I do frequent though, so the cons wasn't enough to sway me. If it's your first time going, yes, it is inside the tiny corner store.“

“Great place amazing vibe and food was AMAZING on top of that they served the food really quick! Definitely not my last time coming here. Recommend anyone who’s looking for something new to stop by and check this place out! Won’t disappoint“

“Italian special“

“4 Jan. 2024 Open review.

I regularly patronize this location. Consistent quality of food and service.
My food is consistently hot when it should be hot and cold when it should be cold.

So far no constructive feedback to provide.“

“Went to Jake's today for a pastrami sandwich. Very tasty: toasted rye bread, brown mustard, and a goodly pile of seasoned meat with tiny, flavorful fat pockets. Also ordered the potato salad, but they were out and subbed an order of less expensive fries. I would've preferred more meat on the sandwich. There weren't many customers inside--kind of odd, I thought, for Friday at noon.“

“I can’t imagine a better partner for this event. A-plus 600 East Cafe. If there were a Nobel prize given for awesome events your team would be on a plane to Stockholm tonight!“

“"Cousin's Subs on 6th and Layton is a convenient location for a quick and delicious lunch. I recently enjoyed a fantastic chicken sandwich there. The chicken was perfectly cooked, and the sandwich was packed with flavor. The staff was friendly and provided excellent service. Definitely a great option in the area!"“

“Great place for a quick fresh made right in front of you meal unlike some fast food restaurants where are the employees are behind some kind of partition or wall I don't know about you all but it always makes me wonder why they got to have hidden they the prep cooks could easily drop a chicken chicken nugget or two on the floor and I would have no way of knowing on the other hand at Subway if they drop something I'm right there to see it“

“Very friendly staff! The location was super clean and a cool place to try at least once.I got the Super Greek with Schug but when I got it, it wasn’t too warm and it didn’t taste like real gyro. Wasn’t my cup of tea for gyros but a cool place to try while in MKE.“

“I recently purchased a large party box (20 subs, 12 cookies and two large bags of plain chips) from this location for a staff meeting. My order was completed on time, they included the things that I had requested (mayo, sides of hot relish and sides of jalapenos). All of the subs were made correctly and everything was packaged with care. Upon picking up, I was happy to see an all young staff working hard and taking pride in their job (love to see that!). Thank you, Cousins staff in Saint Francis for a 5 star experience.“

“1/29/24. Omg had the best delicious chicken today, seasoned just right crispy golden brown chicken. Taste just like my mom @grandmother chicken. We ordered the 14 piece chicken it was hot when delivered. Who ever cooked that chicken, i hope when I order again you cook it..“

“Awesome Cousins! Super clean, great staff, and the owner ROCKS!!! LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!“

“I'm not from Milwaukee but everytime I come to Milwaukee that's all I eat is cousin subs“

“I like coming here often , the food its good , customer service its great. I always recommend my friends to come here because the sandwiches are good plus they have everything nice and clean plus all of the veggies and meat fresh. thanks subway employees“

“Love the Chicken, Rice, and Gravy.🥰“

“The food and service is amazing even with only 2 people most of the time with great pizza, footlongs, and sandwiches. The atmosphere is very dull and bad with no music or noise since most people don’t eat inside. They also accept every app that I can think of that delivers.

Vegetarian options: Subway is very vegetarian friendly but I’m not vegetarian but I worry about cross contamination since employees don’t change gloves and keep meat and vegetables next to each other.

Dietary restrictions: You don’t have to worry about dietary restrictions since you make your own sandwich but if you have a deadly allergy I don’t recommend since cross contamination.

Parking: Very easy to find a parking lot but might have to walk a bit.

Kid-friendliness: As long as you keep your kid under control it should be fine and is very kid friendly as the workers are very understanding.“

“I’ve been looking for a new sandwich go-to for a while now. Safe to say, I don’t think I need to keep looking. Everything I’ve tried so far (Nashville chicken and the lunchbox) has been a knockout. The latkes on their own make this place worth it!“

“we were looking for a place downtown that was open for lunch.“

“By far the best sandwiches I've had. They blow subway an cousins an even jimmy johns out of this world 🌎 ❤️💯“

“I love everything Cousin’s offers, although no two individual franchises are alike. This one’s got the goods.“

“Picked up lunch for friends!

Vegetarian options: Can create sandwich how you want!

Dietary restrictions: Persons requested certain meats and veggies on sandwich! Subway will prepare according to customer's request!

Parking: Parked out front of subway! No long wait or lines!“

“My first time there today,the sub was delicious ,better than most sub places Ive been too. However,I wasn't asked what size sub I wanted,the employee just assumed. Then,I told the employee what I wanted on the sub but she keep asking .She was about to remake my sub due to me begin Allergic to tomatoes,but i keep Benadryl in my work bag. If anything they need to work on training their staff alittle better..Yes,I'll be bavk“

“I put my order in online,When I got there the manager on duty SORRY FRIEND, I FORGOT YOUR NAME, and another team member treated me right. My order was ready. Food fresh fries hot, service was awesome. I came in Monday. I told y'all I would leave the review. Lol.“

“I've been here probably 7 or 8 times in the last month. It's on my way to the Milwaukee office and the breakfast sandwiches are solid and reliable. It's always the same lady and guy working. The guy is quiet and helpful. The lady (initially) seems a bit gruff, but you can break her down and she is very nice. Plus, she knows her stuff. :)“

“Wanted to make this review for the location in South ridge Mall, but I see it's been permanently closed down. In 2016 me and my bf (now husband) were homeless teenagers, both of us just 16 years old. And we went to sit in the tables near the subway, and the manager/women there offered us two meals. We had no money, she took care of us and was kind. We ate for the first time in days. Once we became adults and got our footing, we made sure to pay it forward to people we see who need help. We still do to this day. We've been to Subway many times since then, obviously as paying customers, and never had anything but a positive experience (including the subway I'm reviewing) Subway is awesome. And that woman was awesome. The food is great and the people are amazing people. Keep doing your thing subway!“

“Me & my niece stopped in her the other day to wait for her mom to meet up with usWe bought some drinks ,2 chocolate cookies & some chipsThe young lady working the register answered my questions about using Mobil payShe was very polite & niceI would definitely go back in future when i'm in the area“

“It was very clean and welcoming. Ella was my server and she did it with respect and confidence. She was very quick and courteous.

Vegetarian options: They have several different types of vegetables.

Kid-friendliness: The environment was friendly and clean.

Parking: Roughly 12 or so.

Wheelchair accessibility: N/A“

“Cousin's subs are one of my favorite sub shops! The lady in the drive through that took my order was very nice and professional! She greeted me right away. It is just really refreshing when you go to a business and you actually get great service. Keep up the great work!“

“Excellent sandwiches and the lady behind the counter was amazing.“

“I like this place except for 1 thing. They don't prioritize online orders. The app says 20 minutes until your order is ready but they don't start your order until you get there and then you have to wait for all the people who might be in front of you. Kinda frustrating but the food is always good.“
