22 Best Sandwich Shops in Tempe

“The food was delicious. A huge bonus is that many of their dishes are gluten free.“

“Great food and excellent service! A must visit spot for breakfast while in Phoenix.“

“Friendly staff and fabulous food!!“

“Knockout Subs is a great little sub shop (inside the smoke shop). Like others have stated, the bread is fresh, and the sandwich is full of meat. Had the Club (Turkey, Ham, and Bacon) and it was very good. I ordered the 12 inch sub. They made it into 2 six inch subs, which worked out perfectly, so that I can save the second six inch for tomorrow.
Because there is only one person making the subs, the person is making online orders at the same time that they are taking in-person orders. So the order might take an extra couple of minutes, but it is worth the wait. The overall service was very pleasant.“

“We eat here on a weekly basis. Flo, who works the counter, is awesome. He is attentive and kind. The food is always fantastic. We’ve never had a bad sandwich there. All of the ingredients are fresh and the subs are created with a lot of care and attention. I definitely recommend. Get the G-13 or KGB!“

“Just as good as Tony Luke’s or Joe and Pats. Definitely will be returning. Wish you were a little closer to Eastmark.“

“Staying at a hotel nearby for a work conference, and Ike’s was one of the recommended spots. SO GOOD! The number of options is a little overwhelming, so I just went with the Ike’s Rueben, and it did not disappoint. If I lived here, I would 100% try everything on the menu. They even have halal chicken.

Bonus points for the walkability of the area.“

“I really wasn't sure what to expect walking into Toasty & Sweetz @toastysweetz , but damn, this place was good. Super delicious!

The restaurant was bright, clean and inviting, and the service was awesome. We had a couple questions about the menu and they were happy to help us out with everything.

I went with the K-Fire Spicy Bulgogi Drop Toast, and this thing was ridiculous. Bulgogi beef, egg, cheese, spicy sauce, all stuffed into this thick toasted bread. It's messy, it's loaded, and you're definitely going to need two hands, but man was it good. The beef and the spice together were just crazy delicious.

We also got the regular Egg Drop Toast, which was totally different and just as good. Fluffy eggs, ham, cheese, sauce and that buttery toasted bread. I made mine a meal and got the vegetable egg roll on the side, and even that was hot, crispy and really good.

The matcha was great. Honestly, there wasn't anything we tried that we didn't like.

We left full, happy, and already talking about coming back. Toasty & Sweetz was a really nice surprise.

“We love Dilly's. The gobbler and the Spicy Buffalo chicken Sandwich are two favorites.“

“First time here after living across the street for six months. Was craving a breakfast burrito and our go-to is usually Filibertos, but after looking at the reviews and photos we decided to give it a shot and it did not disappoint. We ordered the Southwest burrito and it was actually really good! The only critique I have as a Mexican is a the salsa, for us (me & my bf) personally it was bland and had no spice; the red one was very thick and tasted like canned tomato and the green one was a little too runny and tasted like tomatillos. The orange juice was delicious and the restaurant itself was very clean, granted we showed up as soon as it opened (haha). Will definitely be going back to try their extensive lunch menu and eventually another burrito that caught my eye with steak and chorizo. Not bad for under $11, oh, and we got a cookie with it too (yummy). Very friendly staff and welcoming.“

“Being a Sunday at 1 pm, it was quite and allowed my mother, sister and myself to meet and catch up after several months. And the food was delicious.“

“Drove in from Glendale, well worth the trip. First had their sandwiches back in '01 when I was Ft. Carson and been hooked since. Sadly haven't been able to visit CO yet. Learned yesterday they were finally in the valley and went the same day. The food was just like I remember it 20 years ago. Ordered the works and it was awesome. This is the real deal, if you like your cheesesteaks loaded to the brim, seasoned deliciously and dripping with juice and cheese, visit Taste of Philly! Even better, the price isn't much different than the other places I could pick up a cheesesteak. We'll be sure visit as often as we can.“

“I love going there nice and clean and everything is fresh :)“

“Smells amazing every time I walk into the store. The Cinnabon’s draw me in EVERYTIME!“

“Delicious sandwiches and fast, friendly service.“

“I go a lot of subways around the valley and this location is by far my favorite!! I came to this location for lunch today (May 2nd). Laila was the employee that helped me. She was so sweet, professional and helped me with a smile on her face!
As I was putting a cap on my drink my clumsy self tipped it over and it spilt everywhere but Laila was so quick to help clean it up! I kept apologizing and she said “don’t worry! It’s no big deal I promise” ☺️ thank you so much Laila for being so kind and helpful!

Also, the dinning area was super clean, they had great Choices on chips, drinks and cookies!
100/10!!!“

“Very friendly worker at the drive-thru. We'll wait wasn't much at the drive-thru window. I would have rated it at 5, but the sandwiches (medium originals) now have less meat than we normally get, the mustard was all in one place instead of spread, we asked for no tomatoes and we both got tomatoes. Those things are not enough that I wouldn't go back and buy again. I would just mention the issues that I had the previous time. Overall, who *doesn't* like a Schlotzsky's sandwich?…“

“Miles and Maria were fantastic. This was our 1st time eating the food and it was unfortunately ordered thru Door Dash.

Because the order was incorrect when delivered, I called them (Door Dash) for resolution. They denied any help, even with the store admitting some fault. The driver only picked up half our order.

I requested a refund and door dash hung up on me and closed the dispute.

NOT COOL

When I called Miles and Maria at the store, they refunded the order and Went the extra step to REDELIVER the order personally.

From Tempe to Mesa
At MIDNIGHT.
AFTER THEY CLOSED!

If six stars were possible they'd get it! Thank you guys so much. You truly made our first attempt not become our last. The food was wonderful and you guys are the definition of what five stars are and what defines customer service. Thank you both again.

By the way... I contacted doordash to cancel my annual membership as well. They wouldn't even refund the difference on my Discover card so I had to contact my credit card who took care of the cancellation and the refund as well. Pretty pathetic.

Doordash needs to talk to them both at the store and the credit card service and learn some customer service skills.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly Recommended!
Firehouse Subs is hands down one of the best spots if you’re looking for a high‑quality, filling sandwich made right. The subs are always hot, fresh, and loaded with meat, and you can really taste the difference in quality compared to other sub chains. The bread is soft, the ingredients are fresh, and everything is made to order.
The staff is consistently friendly, efficient, and professional, even during busy hours. Orders are accurate, and the place is clean and well maintained. I also appreciate the wide variety on the menu — whether you want something classic like the Hook & Ladder or something bold and hearty, there’s always a great option.
Overall, Firehouse Subs delivers great food, great service, and great value every time. If you want a satisfying sub and a reliable experience, this place is an easy recommendation.“

“Great sandwich. The daily specials are good. The location is not too far from work.“

“LOVE THIS SPOT.....Our go to sandwich shop for Krank Golf Employees!! #KrankApproved“

“5 STARS FOR LYDIA!!! Pleasant, professional, expeditious customer service! Picture perfect subs, exactly the way we ordered them today. She changed her plastic gloves after handling $$--something many forget. THANKS FOR THE GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!“
