36 Best Sandwich Shops in Boston

“My first time here, and the first thing I noticed was how cute and inviting the space is! The food and drinks were sooo delicious. 😋 I had the Bom Dia breakfast sandwich, while my friend ordered the Greek breakfast sandwich. We also tried a couple of iced coffees and the gut-healing juice, everything was amazing! The staff were also very friendly. I’ll be back!“

“A very popular place for sandwiches and other takeaway treats.

The savory breakfast items are especially popular. I personally think it’s good not great (a little too greasy), but their generous bacon-oriented offerings are especially popular.

Weekdays and weekends expect a little crowd and/or line of folks waiting to place or pickup their orders.“

“Perfect little sub shop in Backbay. We opted for the Italian Sub to go. The atmosphere was awesome with a lot of locals getting what seemed to be a regular daily lunch meal. The staff and customers seemed to know each other and a sense of community was ever so prevalent. The food itself was outstanding, even after a 5 hour train ride it traveled with us to ur next stop. Highly recommend this place. Truly a diamond in the rough.“

“Sandwich was great Service excellent“

“Lovely spot, thoroughly enjoyed my fish & chips, the DJ was also great!“

“My family stopped in for breakfast and we all got different breakfast sandwiches. They were all delicious. I had the avacado smash I think it was called. It was the best breakfast sandwich I've ever had. Very much enjoyed the staff's banter while we waited. The staff checked on us several times. 5 stars. Highly recommend!“

“I found Rick's 11a Cafe to be a very rewarding experience. I enjoyed the triple Decker turkey club sandwich. Very generous portion of turkey. Extremely satisfied. I would definitely give this little hole in the wall five stars all day. Very personable and friendly at the counter“

“If you’re in Boston and craving a seriously good sandwich, you’ve got to check out Figaro’s Sandwich Shop. Everything is fresh, piled high, and packed with flavor. The bread is perfect, the ingredients taste top quality, and the portions are more than generous. The staff is friendly and keeps things moving, even when it’s busy. Honestly, this place is wicked good. Whether you’re grabbing lunch on the go or meeting up with friends, Figaro’s never disappoints. Definitely one of my go-to spots in the city!“

“Great spot for Ban Mi! The flavors and ingredients are authentic. The #1 special is the best option IMO - you don’t get meats like that anywhere else! Only feedback is that my sandwich was a little dry - it could have been a little better with more pate or mayo to increase the creaminess.“

“I usually order off DoorDash and typically enjoy my sandwiches. One of the times I ordered I got slightly stale bread so that wasn’t fun. But otherwise, the food is very good quality and filling. Will still order again since they’re typically on it.“

“Great spot to pick up some charcuterie. Not super fancy but that’s a good thing. Great quality ingredients. Let the snobs eat elsewhere.“

“Have been seeing this place for a bit on my way to flour bakery. Today I decided to try it. I walked in met Nico (nice and helpful). Because it was a new place and they had so many offerings I asked Nico what he would recommend. Nico asked me about allergies and if there was anything I wouldn’t eat. I responded no and he then recommended the California a (chicken, bacon, tomato, lettuce and mayo). My sandwich was great and I will return to try something new Great service, clean and great prices! I ended up getting some ice cream as well delicious! See you soon Nico! Nice lil spot in the south end directly across from flour.“

“walk-up windows my favorite. 😍 🥒🥓🥯☀️“

“I’ve loved this place since I first discovered it years ago. The food is great, the beer cheap, and the staff (Hi Marnie) awesome. Forget any bad reviews. Some people are never happy.“

“We only ate breakfast here, but it was great! We were staying at the Hilton and hit up Max’s every morning! Friendly staff, great food, and the price was right:)“

“I did not expect to find such a hidden gem. The classic tuna sandwich was perfection. Great coffee. Super friendly service. Will definitely be back to try one of their other sandwiches as their menu is huge. They also have breakfast options“

“Food is excellent and delicious, I order chicken parmesan sandwich large one and it was big and perfect for price. Low prices, near bus station, best for eating something when you arrive in Boston. Im student J1 and my recommendation is to try this place.

Hrana odlična, sve super, ogromni sendviči a cena jeftina, sve preporuke!!“

“Authentic Southie.The way it should be.“

“Fresh all day, everyday.“

“absolute 10 out of 10. the food was so so good. the best Italian sub! the warm welcome and customer service was the cherry on top. wonderful experience. highly recommend and will be going back! NH location!“

“Wow! I ordered a few things from The Real Deal in JP Yesterday. EVERYTHING I ordered was Absolutely Delicious! The Patty Melt was one of the best things I have ever tasted! The ”Godfather” I took for lunch today at work. Delicious! The combo of flavors was just perfect. They certainly know how to cook at this place! Wow! The Real Deal will be my new go-to place for take out!“

“Staff was friendly, seemed like everyone got along with each other making for a nice atmosphere. Seating is what you'd expect at a sandwich shop, couple of high tops and low tops.

Got the Jersey Mikes Philly Cheese Steak sandwich. The bread was fresh, the meat was cooked fresh and cooked perfectly. It was so delicious. The onions, peppers, and cheese go well with the steak. Barely ate the entire thing it was huge and I was hungry after walking all day.

Great go to if you're in the area.“

“Seven breakfast all day got the bomb steak and cheese. Their cheeseburger sub is ridiculously good. Cheeseburger basket is off the chain. French fries are crazy good if you’re looking for a fast spot to get a bite to eat Mario’s is the place to go just Opened up“

“Sunday , we came here. The line move along with everyone social distancing. I got the honey bun swirl and pineapple Coconut. Both were soft and fluffy. Pineapple coconut tasted like pina colada. The honey bun swirl was way to sweet for me . It was about $3.50 a donut. Worth a try“

“The team at this Subway is amazing and it’s easily my favorite location. What stands out most to me is their attention to detail and genuine kindness. Every time I walk in, I’m greeted warmly, and they even remember my order, which makes the experience feel so personal. It’s the little things like that that keep me coming back. Great service, great people, and always a great experience.“

“todo los productos helaborado en la esquina 624 son ecelentes sus esquisiti“

“My final breakfast before leaving Boston. Just walking around the Pier and noticed this nice little cafe. We did not regret it--the croissants and breakfast burritos are hot and fresh And it tastes so different from what you are used to. Great family owned place!“

“Visiting from Ct and stopped in for a quick sandwich. Got the Italian and the Thanksgiving Day. Both were delicious, the owner was so nice and best of all-we got 2 sandwiches, a bag of chips and 4 drinks/ and it came out to $38. Cheapest meal in Boston. And delicious on top of it.“

“Good people and food a good place👍🏾👌🏾“

“Couldn't find the price of the iced coffee - so I'm posting it for you here -$5.50

Coffee is good, it's what I expected- they don't have a great way of mixing it so some of the condensed milk is stuck at the bottom of the cup.

No place to sit, it's take out only.“

“This place is excellent! How lucky am I to work so close to this shipping container. The bread is always so fresh and the sandwiches are scooby doo and shaggy sized large. I really wish they would come up with a rewards or point system for employees at the design center who come here almost daily. It’s for sure burning a hole in my pocket and I know that’s 100% my problem but a free sandwich after say maybe 10 purchased sandwiches would make a lot of sense in my opinion.“

“Beantown Pastrami Company on Hanover Street is an absolute must stop in Boston. Fast, friendly, and flat out delicious. The staff moves with purpose and the energy in this place is infectious. Now let's talk about the sandwich because it deserves a moment. You watch them stack it and think there is absolutely no way you are finishing that. Then somehow, almost without realizing it, that magnificent tower of pastrami shrinks away before you even come up for air. If you are in Boston and walking through the North End, Beantown Pastrami Company is a non negotiable stop. Get in there!“

“Awesome service. We were there Saturday, 3 sandwiches & a chicken Caesar salad. The lady taking orders was very cheerful and pleasant. The cook was quick and did a good job on our order. The Korean bbq was so good I finished it before leaving the parking lot and then ate some of my partners steak bomb and a little of my daughters salad. I wasn't hungry when we got there but the food smelled so good. Those two ladies work very well together and we enjoyed our short stop there. I would reccommend this location to all my friends if service is like that all the time. For a quick solution to lunch/dinner this was a very good choice for my picky family.“

“Anything except a 5 star is a lie, it’s just their competitors down voting them. Hands down best food and friendliest staff, in Boston by a mile!! Wide range of delicious food and the best prices. Anie and his staff are the kindest and Scola elevates the Seaport area significantly! You cannot go wrong, regardless of what you chose on their menu or daily specials.“

“The words Good Food and Airport are generally an oxymoron. You can have airport and you can food. But, good airport food is tough to find. The Potbelly Sandwich Shop in Terminal C, at Logan, is an exception. They make excellent sandwiches, a very good Mac & Cheese and nice looking salads ... plus a soup that I can't attest to because I didn't try it. The key is their production technique: 1) A courteous, patient short order cook directly takes your order for the sandwich or your choice. There's no fancy electronics here. You tell him the sandwich or combination you want and he lays out the fixings on an fresh hero roll. 2) The sandwich is placed on a conveyor that takes it through an oven that toasts the bread and heats the meat. 3) You tell a second cook, after the oven, what cold condiments you'd (like lettuce, tomato & mayo) on the sandwich and wraps it. Potbelly has combos that are interesting, too. One is a Choose Two for just over $11. You get a half sandwich (really enough considering their regular sandwich is about 12" long) and then a choice of either their Chicken Pot Pie Soup or Mac & Cheese. For an airport this is a real deal. They provide well designed bags to take your meal onto the plane. What was interesting to me was that everything was thought through at 100%. The Mac & Cheese I had as a side must have been super hot when it was placed in the small container I took on board with me. An hour and a half after I ordered my sandwich & side the Mac & Cheese was still warm as I ate it on my plane. I highly recommend Potbelly (unless you're seriously on a diet.) The have full sized portions, great taste and a very reasonable price.“

“One of the best sandwiches in the city for a great price you definitely get your bang for your buck supporting a family owned business that makes true authentic amazing chicken cutlets and turn them into amazing sandwiches with house made bread and having a weekly special that spans all sorts of flavors and creativity and the staff some of the nicest most pleasant people I’ve experienced shout out Mike for the great food and service always“
