50 Best Sandwich Shops in Denver

“I was visiting Denver on business for the first time in 20 years and got lunch here.
The shop was bustling at 1pm on a weekday, great atmosphere. Very friendly people running the shop, presumably the owners. I got the fried Chicken Bahn mi , and an iced coffee.
The slab of meat in The sandwich was enormous. For me personally, it overpowered the rest of the things in the sandwich, and needed balance. I'd have preferred to get about half that much fried Chicken. But, far better to get too much than too little. The pickled veggies were yummy. The sandwich itself was very filling. The iced coffee, I tried to explain to the man at the register that I did not want sugar in it. He kept asking less sweet? And I said yes. No sweet. Unfortunately he did not understand me and it was still super sweet. But again, excellent flavor and overall I really liked the feeling of the cafe. Definitely would visit again, but would get a different kind of bahn mi next time, and try harder to explain no sugar in the iced coffee.“

“Fabulous Porchetta, though a touch salty. The pastor fries were divine. The original sandwich was good, but could have used a little acid to balance out the fat. It's nice to hang out on Tight End's patio since they kinda sorta share space. Very glad to have finally tired to this place and intend to return to try more!“

“Great vegan subs! I can't wait to go back when my belly is empty again.“

“One of the BEST deli. Sandwiches I ever had, and the Tall lady behind the counter was awesome! Looking forward to going back for another one.“

“The hangover and flapjack Friday are awesome, and the potatoes are amazing too 😊😊“

“I had the sticky pork bowl and the creamy lemonade, both of which were delicious. Can’t wait to go back to try one of the sandwiches. Kevin was a one-man-show, working on multiple orders at once without losing any time. I will be back ASAP!“

“Everything is sooo good here! I always stop by to grab something to bring home and eat after work.“

“Cheba Hut is my go to spot on Friday nights. The whole crew there is awesome and friendly. I gotta give a huge shout-out to my boy Shawn at the bar. He's always in a great mood and hooks it up with the best sandwiches from the secret menu, so freaking good!! Thanks Shawn. I recommend Cheba Hut 10 out of 10 times. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🥖🔥👌🏾“

“Great local joint. Awesome people. Loved the gluten-free green chili Colorado beef sandwich.“

“Flew into Denver for vacation on my birthday, decided to walk to this place close to our air bnb. We came in through the front and were immediately greeted with a warm welcome. The gentleman who helped us was friendly and polite. He helped explain the menu since it was our first time. I had the weekly special burger with grilled fresh jalapeños, it was one of the best burgers this burger fan has had. My wife had the chop sandwich, kinda there version of a Philly cheese steak, and not to put down on Philly, but uh this one was better. We tried one of the local craft beers as well as local made chips and were not disappointed. During our meal, the lady that does all the baking brought me a piece of cake with a candle for my birthday. It was delicious, a triple chocolate bundt cake, so moist and decadent. I'm not a fan of chocolate cake, but I would buy this in a heartbeat. We sat outside enjoying the patio and the nice weather for a bit, on our way out I had to go back in and buy some more sweet treats she had made. A peanut butter and jelly cookie sandwich 😍 absolute knock out and a chocolate whoopi pie sandwich worth every penny, she might even put little Debbie out of business.“

“Had a large order this evening, 4 sandwiches, cheesy bread and a French onion soup. Was disappointed with this location.
Mjority of the sandwiches were missing main ingredients all together or lacking ingredients.
KGB with no horseradish, cheese or dressing.
The Kind cheese on half the sandwich.
Apollo 13 very little olives and feta.
The food was good and the service was good and it's decently priced.
I wouldn't recommend going with a large order.“

“Madeline was a ROCKSTAR. She was friendly as soon as I entered the door, helped me quickly, and resolved an issue I had without me even having to ask. She made my entire day and I am so thankful for her! 10/10 will be back because of her (:“

“EDIT - I visited for the first time in awhile 9/23 around 7 PM. I was surprised to find a sign signalling it was under new ownership. The service was far better than it had been on previous visits - two employees, the cook made the food excellent, the gal at the register was super pleasant. Thanks much!

I want to love it, but literally every order I get has been incorrect across three visits. Employees do not seem to know the menu, what's supposed to be on the sandwiches, and miss basic instructions. Too bad, this is a cool concept.“

“Found online and tried out for the first time tonight. Will definitely be back! Was the best sandwich I’ve had in a long time and I love to support local. Employee was friendly and the food superb. Highly recommend.“

“Ray from the Longmont location was amazing!! He took great care of our group of 8. Even while being short staffed the service was still fast and great!! Thank you Ray!!“

“I ONLY buy my bánh mì from Baker's Palace. As much as my mother tells me to try other places nearby (which I have given chances), I only prefer Baker's Palace and absolutely refuse to go anywhere else. First of all, their bread is freshly made everyday. They also fill the sandwiches full and don't skimp. Once you get used to that standard, other places seem to fall short.

I also love their desserts like Chè Chuối (banana tapioca pudding) and sticky rice with coconut. These are the flavors I grew up on and their quality is amazing!!“

“Worth the wait! Italian was delicious, bread was amazing! Can’t beat the price! Staff killed it, so pleasant despite the customers waiting“

“The staff here is WONDERFUL!! Staff can make or break a place. The staff here hands down makes it!! Very welcoming and kind! Manager was one of the best!! 10 out of 10!!!i wish I had gotten his name!! But he knows who he is!! Fabulous!! Keep up the kind work. You are making a difference!!“

“The staff is amazing and so is the food you can't go wrong with the special of the day for $11.50!“

“In a world of limited vegan options Ike’s is an oasis. I’ve been to multiple Ike’s locations in different states and they always come through. Consistently good and staff are always friendly and hilarious. This location is no different, thank you!“

“bangin sammys 🔥🔥🔥🔥 thick turkey - The Telluride“

“Wow. What a fabulous experience at Mendocino Farms on Fillmore in Denver. Right from the moment we interned the space, we were greeted by such a positive hostess who gave us guidance on how the ordering works and some of the popular menu items.

The food was extremely fresh. Our bowls were cold...just how we like them. High end and high quality ingredients. So delicious.

And the space is well lit and vibrant.

Amazing experience!

“Snarf’s on Federal is hands down one of the best sandwich spots in Denver. Every time I come here, the food hits the mark—fresh ingredients, perfect bread, and that signature Snarf’s flavor you can’t get anywhere else.

The staff is fast, friendly, and they keep things running smoothly even during the lunch rush. Whether you’re grabbing a hot Italian, turkey and swiss, or their killer veggie options, you can’t go wrong.

It’s clear this place takes pride in what they do. If you’re a sandwich person, this needs to be on your go-to list in Denver. Solid five stars.“

“Great Italian sammich. Highly suggest this joint.“

“Very good service and good food“

“Love this store. Always bring out-of-town guests here because it is a great experience. Friends can always buy local products to take home. So many extraordinary products beautifully displayed. Staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Always have a great time shopping here.“

“Freaky Fast? More like teleportation.

I swear I barely finished hitting “Place Order” before someone was already knocking on my door like they’d been hiding in the bushes with a sandwich ready. These people must use wormholes or time travel—there’s no other explanation.

The sandwich was so fresh it practically winked at me, the bread was perfect, and the delivery driver looked like they’d just come out of hyperspace. If NASA had Jimmy John’s running mission control, we’d already be living on Mars eating #12 Beach Clubs by now.

Bottom line: delicious, dangerously fast, and possibly violating the laws of physics. 10/10 would risk a sandwich time paradox again.“

“Delicious Sandwiches and Staff was AMAZING!!! We will be back for sure!“

“I’m obsessed over the turkey sandwich. The pickled onions and what I think is a horseradish sauce really make it above all the others. Highly recommend!“

“I’ve known Snarf soooo far back! The food is so good, very clean and all the employees are super nice. Great place to go!“

“any of their sandwiches. they're amazing so far. Ask about the hidden menu to see sandwiches that aren't on the menu. I've had the Philly steak and now the reuben and both were amazing. Favorite shop hands down for sandwiches.“

“I’m from where the original Head West is in Illinois and I have bragged endlessly to people in Denver about how good these subs are and how nothing compares here. Imagine my excitement when I find out this location opened up. Don’t think twice - eat here!!! Way better than Cheba and Snarf’s combined“

“Found online and tried out for the first time tonight. Will definitely be back! Was the best sandwich I’ve had in a long time and I love to support local. Employee was friendly and the food superb. Highly recommend.“

“UPDATE: Josh, manager at this location, went above and beyond. Simply stellar response and customer service. Refunded my previous order AND offered me a complimentary follow-up order to get it right. He just won himself a regular, loyal customer and I encourage all in the DTC area to put Potbelly into your regular lunch rotation!

Very good food quality, but disappointed they got my order wrong when I ordered a chili mac bowl through the app and got plain chili instead (which was solid, but still). Hoping management will help remedy this in a future order.“

“What is up with trying to sell a can of Arizona Iced Tea marked 99¢ on the can for $2.45? That seems like bad form.“

“Great sandwiches, fresh local everything, cool peeps...eat this $hit immediately! Platte Park CORNERSTONE in the making. Sooo good 😬“

“My business partner and myself are both veterans. Firehouse offered a free meal for us. Their brisket & cheddar sandwich, my usual go-to meal there, is unbelievably good!
Thanks again, Firehouse, for offering this to veterans!
We'll be back soon.“

“The sandwiches looked great but weren’t as flavorful as I expected. They were good and prepared well. The service was efficient. The overall atmosphere felt like a nice, clean sandwich shop. If you need a bite and are in downtown, Yampa is a good option.“

“Stop here every time we come in from Ohio!“

“The staff is always super friendly and the sandwiches are awesome!“

“I bought the cajun chicken avocado. It was very tasty. The staff was very friendly with assisting me with my choice of sandwich. Faydrick was friendly and possesses excellent customer service skills. I will revisit in the near future.“

“💕💕💕 Best sandwiches ever!“

“Loved the prime rib sandwich, now just need a utah residence. I've eaten more expensive sandwiches for the same price if not more expensive, and Snarfs prime Rib beats them. Though wish gluten free was more affordable or had a sourdough, and couple more ingredients like avacado and olives. But even without I think the prime Rib is one of the best sandwiches you can buy, better than any deli sandwich place that's local where I live.“

“When you have to have something like a real poboy, Snarf’s is my only answer; I get double meat whatever and some Zapp’s chips. Saves me the drive to NEW ORLEANS. (Very far from a hoagie❤️‍🔥)“

“Great food 🍱 we really enjoy it. My first time to eat lunch here and it was great!“

“Had the chilli loaded on a cold day and it was delicious“

“Love JJs, hate big game trophy killing, just stop, make a big public announcement, go fish for Marlin, nobody cares about that, moron. Don’t be a rich douche.“

“The Vietnamese Pork and the Shrimp Paste Bahn Mi Sandwiches were excellent and full of flavor. I recommend this Bakery. It’s not an eat-in place but great food makes it a go-to Bahn Mi destination.“

“I absolutely LOVE Luis! I manage a high rise residential building in the heart of Downtown Denver and a girl needs her Jimmy Johns to get through the busy Monday's! Not only is he always so kind and efficient, he treats me like family!! He is the highlight of my week! Thank you for always taking care of me Luis! <3“

“I love these unique sandwiches. There used to be several restaurants around Denver and now the closest one to me is out by DIA. The only time it's convenient to go there, is when I go to or from the airport. I wish they would put more locations around the metro area again.“
