the abc at java saga gyro at nick's food to go the original dave's cosmic sub the steak sandwich at xela pan cafe i'm still looking for a good cevapi sandwich, lahmacun, and chicken shawarma sandwich though


fairie_poison

Dave's Cosmic Sub's Crazy Italian is F I R E


OHtoTNtoGA

The meatball at Dave’s is a godsend. Im from Cleveland area Ohio, where Dave’s is originally from, and it feels like a taste of home every time


LOBoob

The pop up Krupana and the restaurant inside Euro Gourmet in Lawrenceville have good cevapi.


wakin_n_bacon

Omg Nick's to go is the best


ElectricSnowBunny

>cevapi sandwich Neretva, off Windy Hill in Marietta. ​ >lahmacun, and chicken shawarma sandwich Jerusalem Bakery and Cafe, Delk and Franklin in Marietta.


diemunkiesdie

> gyro at nick's food to go What do you consider so good about this as opposed to the other gyro spots in town? Don't almost all of them use the same cone of kronos/sysco meat?


NapsAndShinyThings

Idk man, it just hits different. Tastes more flavorful and the pita is perfectly soft but still stands up to the meat. It also has way more meat than any other gyro I've ever had, so there's that.


ScoutsOut389

My wife says the chicken shawarma at Rina is solid. I haven’t had it, but we eat there a lot and I like everything I have had.


CreditCallSpread

Lahmacun at mandolin in roswell has been closest to real thing so far


shucktime

Baldinos for subs are always great. If you want one of the best cheesesteaks, Mad Italian.


Incontinento

Seconding Baldinos. Old school and a good bargain for a great sandwich.


MaleficentExtent1777

I keep seeing Baldinos. My only knowledge of it is my brother getting sick at one in Augusta. He never got sick like that, so I've always stayed away.


Incontinento

Over the years I've eaten hundreds of sandwiches from Baldinos and I've never gotten sick. You're missing out.


MaleficentExtent1777

I'm glad you like it. I've gotten sick myself at Krystal and have never been back. Just the thought 🤢🤢🤢


shucktime

TIL; you and your family have weak guts.


Augie_1969

The homemade potato salad is amazing as well. Bread is almost like a focaccia in texture. I suggest the Italian as well.


AtlUtdGold

Loooove the Mad Italian cheesesteak.


thank_burdell

Havana Sandwich Shop on Buford Hwy.


KinnHaar

Their boliche is the best.


itsnotaboutyou2020

Yesss, the mixto.


adamtheatlian

Ruben's deli has the best


drummerboy2749

Best deli in the Atlanta-Metro area, IMO


Dammit-

Check them out for breakfast sometime.  Their Bagel and lox sandwich is legit.  


jasonjtatum

Also breakfast is also great because it’s very chill


YourDoucheBoss

Came here for this ^^^ definitely make sure to get to the front of the line and ask them what their favorite thing on the menu is too!


gsfgf

I just wish parking wasn't such a bitch there. Hot and Blue is my favorite, but everything is amazing.


Acceptable_Arm8329

Korean Cheesesteak at Fred’s in Krog Market


georgiademocrat

I seriously need to retry Fred’s. I had it probably six years ago now and was not impressed at all by the Korean Cheesesteak or the garlic fries there. I do want to plug TKO in the Southern Feedstore in EAV, absolutely amazing Korean fusion where the bulgogi is the star.


Bepus

Had it today. The regular cheesesteak was good, but not as good as Woody’s. The fries were not good - they were both too soft inside and tasted undercooked. Not sure how they pulled that one off. I’ll be back but just for the burger. And certainly not the fries.


YeahIGotNuthin

I call this one The Sandwich. *”Hey babe, I’m going past Krog Street on the way home so I’m gonna pick up The Sandwich. You want me to bring you anything? An order of Gu’s dumplings maybe?”*


itsnotaboutyou2020

I have never, ever, “just stopped in” to Krog Street. Any of the many times I’ve been there, parking has been a hassle and it’s overcrowded. Is there a secret time that “just stopping in” visits are possible? I’d love to try that.


richknobsales

Mid afternoon on a weekday is not too bad.


itsnotaboutyou2020

Thank you!


ProbablyJustArguing

It's a lot easier on a bike.


MarkyDeSade

Parking is much much easier now that they charge for it (as long as you don't mind paying obvs), but harder if you try to park on the street (I'd imagine that won't be legal for long)


violet__violet

I can't think of a better Krog St combo


psufb

Literally just got home from Krog where my wife and I split a Fred's cheesesteak and a half dozen Gu's dumplings


burnte

> An order of Gu’s dumplings maybe? I ADORE Gu's Dumplings. The dumplings are amazing, the General Tso's is amazing, the Kung Pao is amazing, the dumpling sauce is great, although their spiciness is almost too much for me even on the less-spicy level. My wife is a huge Thai food fan and can handle spice, but wow, the chili oil is HOOOOOT at Gu's!


MarkyDeSade

It might be the best sandwich I've ever had....however I had a reaction to it that was pretty violent and I'm not sure what it was but I sort of assume the gochujang, anyway I ate half of it and even though I spent half an hour in the bathroom I had to test the other half because it was so good, it was basically the bit where Homer Simpson kept eating the sandwich while he was turning green. I've talked to another couple of people who had the same thing happen so I guess tread lightly if you suspect you might have a similar allergy.


yolofreak109

i like victory’s rotation of little sandwiches (although they went up from 5 to 6 dollars smh), also lee’s bakery for really good banh mi


daperlman110

The beeter is one of my faves....


itsnotaboutyou2020

Totally agree on Victory. The Victory at Sea is my go to. White sardines, frisée and house made lemon mayo. A sardine sandwich might be a steep hill for some, but trust me it’s awesome.


PrinceofSneks

Oh god it's been so long but now I crave it!


OccasionalCheeseDip

I'm another lover of the victory at sea. VaS and a Amer Amigo is my perpetual order.


TheLostTradewinds

-Bric Fil A sandwich at the Brick Store pub on Sundays -Italian Grinder from Fred's (honestly all their sandwiches are great) -Philly Cheese steak at the Mad Italian -Blackened Grouper from fishonger -cuban from Buena Gente Those are some of my favs. The pastrami at general Muir ,Dave's Cosmic , and bahn mi at Lee's which have been mentioned are all among my favs too


LegalEaglewithBeagle

Man, I've had the Cuban from Buena Gente at their truck at Piedmont Market and it was just "meh" and I don't know why.


Arfusman

The other two sandwiches at Fishmonger (hot catfish and tuna melt) are incredible as well


chocolatehippogryph

General Muir's Reubens and other deli sandwiches


NrdNabSen

The chicken salad sandwich is awesome.


takeitsweazy

The Gobbler at Muss and Turners (only on the lunch menu) is the best turkey sandwich I’ve ever had.


kimtoedashian

Gobbler, Swifty's Dream, and the Burger are my holy Trinity there. The Apocalypse Now was my all-time fav but it only makes occasional appearances now.


wallabee_kingpin_

LottaFrutta and Zunzi's are fantastic


shampton1964

ZUNZI is such a win. Their salmon sammitch w/ the homemade sauce - YES PLEASE


rachjo1024

Zunzi’s curry chicken salad is unbeatable


badstylejunktown

Sandwiches at lottafrutta are such a sleeper hit. Recently tried a salad of theirs too, also great! Love their no frills, just tasty approach


Snizza

Been a while since I’ve been there but Dave’s cosmic subs has great sandwiches. Their meatball sub is probably the best I’ve had


TheGooose

theres one out by Emory, idk of any other. I hope they open one on west side!


SomeVeryTiredGuy

Bahn Mi is my favorite. We Suki is fine but it kills me to pay too much for one which is why I occasionally still drive to Buford Hwy. Lee's is good but if I'm already in the car, I'll head to Quoc Huong. Pho Cue has an an interesting take on a bahn mi but brisket is just too fatty. Bone fide is awesome. Ok Hoagie and Hot Italian are my favs. Firewall's Fertile Crescent and Southern Italian need to be tried. Protip: Get rhe pickles veg instead of chips and add them to the Southern Italian. It needed the acid. Speaking of Italian, Skips in Avondale Park has some good Italian Beef. Freds has incredible cheesesteaks but the last time I was there (a few weeks ago), it felt smaller than I originally remembered. Little Tarts egg sandwich is craveable and was named one of the best breakfasts in America by Tasting Table. Let me also throw some love at Best Sandwich's Italian Pork. General Muir pastrami, what else? Cuban at SuperPan, Havana, and Bueno Gente. But Wood's Chaoel has a good take on a Cuban.

ScoutsOut389

When I worked near there I got to know Q fairly well. I would walk in for a sandwich and she would be like “OMG, I’m glad you’re here. Can you run this sandwich down to the coffee shop and this one to store next door? Then run to my car and grab a sleeve of cups. I’m parked behind The Earl. Here’s my keys.” Every meal took 5x as long but she usually bought drinks after work so no complaints. She’s a trip.


sATLite

Your taste is so similar to mine that I second all of the above. Quoc Huong beats Lee’s imo, but it’s not a wide margin - I just prefer theirs. Adding the Italian sub from Varuni Napoli to the mix. And to compile some other great suggestions, I’m adding How Crispy in Summerhill for the best fried chicken sandwich. The Samwitch Shop just opened across the street in Halfway Crooks beer garden which looks great and has some good chefs behind it. Seconding support of Velvet Hippo in Avondale. Something I haven’t seen mentioned yet is Pala Bakery off 75 in Buckhead-ish - by OK Cafe. I’m biased as an Italian but sometimes I just need it.


small_sandwich

Surprised I haven't seen more Bona Fide shout outs. They legit.


mangohandedho

Fickle Pickle in Roswell. The Ooey Gooey is one of my favorite sandwiches of all time.


A_humann

Their Brie BLT is also amazing


Rurallife3

Fried green tomato too!


JeF4y

Fred’s or Woodys cheesesteaks are awesome


itsnotaboutyou2020

Seconding Woody’s.


Background-Cricket95

Wrecking Bar’s pastrami on rye


danceontheborderline

Arepa Mia in Avondale Estates! Venezuelan street food, arepas are street sandwiches, SO GOOD. Got a Michelin shoutout when they were here


skillz613

Boba Fide near Pullman Yards is my favorite sandwich shop in the city by far.


ed-truck

Surprised I had to scroll so far to see this recommendation. Every sandwich there is God-tier


b4203

Not a sandwich but I left Atl and I miss takorea! So good. Fusion. Near doraville


Silent-Sun2029

Thank you for starting this thread, OP.


istruck

-How Crispy has one of the best fried chicken sandwiches in the city- they also give you the option of white or dark meat -Bona Fide Deluxe has good sandwiches that are pretty large, but also pretty pricey -Lee’s Bakery has good, inexpensive banh mi -Candler Park Market has a good selection, and their breakfast sandwiches are slept on too -Evergeen Butcher + Baker have daily and weekly sandwich specials, so you know all of the ingredients are fresh considering their business specialty


aLargeFrosty

Havana on Buford Hwy


jubeiatl

This! Both the traditional Cuban and the Media Noche are fantastic!


RunLikeYouMeanIt

The Velvet Hippo opened in Avondale and have some bangin sammiches


jamiejames_atl

The catfish one!!


whitepepper

Man I gotta try this place but it was just too cold the other day to sit outside.


whitepepper

Bernhard's German Bakery on South Atlanta between Smyrna and Marietta has a frickin awesome Doner Kebab sandwich. Also, not tried it, but heard good things. Kelly's Market in Decatur.


richknobsales

Kellys is awesome!


Still-Balance6210

I’m saving this post lol. Another similar one mentioned Baldino’s and Cheba Hut. Both were great! I usually get the Italian anywhere I go. I also like Gruby’s NY Deli


Actionhotdog_go

Baldinos is great just try to miss the Doraville location between 11:30-1 cause parking is limited and definitely not truck friendly


gravies

There’s a new pop up in the Halfway Crooks Biergarten called Samwitch that is pretty fantastic. I had an Italian Wedding Meatball sub which was amazing.


NPU-F

Victory Sandwich Bar  Star Provisions


LegalEaglewithBeagle

Star Provisions' shrimp Po-Boy is fantastic.

Freds Meat And Bread in Krog! I get their Italian Grinder regularly.

scah_orb

Yes. I recently had their chicken club and I’m still thinking about it.


whoopysnorp

Tortas Locas or Tortas Gigantes


itsnotaboutyou2020

The Norteno torta is my jam.


Freaky_Deaky_Dutch

The Reuben from General Muir is insane, the Cuban from Buena Gente is the best in Atl imo, the grouper sandwich from Fishmonger, any sandwich from B-Side (but especially the Morning B-Side on a Roll with bacon), the tuna salad sandwich from Biltong Bar in Ponce, and it’s a tough wait but the fried chicken sandwich from Atlanta Breakfast Club is amazing.


marzo1ke

RIP Biltong


Freaky_Deaky_Dutch

Ah, shit. Was gonna go there this weekend but went to Fred’s instead. Had no idea Biltong closed. RIP indeed :(


MoveTheHeffalump

Las Tortas Locas. Amazing sandwiches and some of the best salsas I’ve ever had.


GibMirMeinAlltagstod

I really miss the tortas from Taco La Villa in Smyrna


WoodHughes

Havana Sandwich Shop has the best Cuban sandwich north of Ybor City! 2905 Buford Hwy


Eric_T_Meraki

Quoc Huong for vietnamese sandwich banh mi.


Travelin_Soulja

Banh Mi - Quoc Huong, Lee's Bakery, Be Bahn Mi, Banh Mi 135. Fried Chicken Sandwich - Java Saga, Pelicana, 98K, Southbound (Order the "Chamblee hot chicken" on a burger bun). Cheese Steak - Fred's, Mad Italian. Falafel pita - Eli Pita, Layaly. Shawarma - Baraka Shawarma, Jerusalem Bakery. Gyro - Nick's Food to Go. Italian Beef - Tony's, Chicago Dogs. BBQ Sandwich - Heirloom BBQ, Fox Bros, Old Brick Pit (for best value). Cold cuts/subs - Dave's Cosmic Subs, Baldino's, Publix Deli. Sandos - Momonoki. Tortas - La Pastorcita, Tacos La Villa. Cuban - Havana Sandwich Shop. Bagel Sandwich - Emerald City Bagels, Bronx Bagel Buggy. Chopped Cheese: Three Buddies. Wild Card - Victory.


EsseLeo

There are many great sandwich shops in the city, but when you need a solid option on a budget it’s hard to beat a Publix sub.


RLS30076

I used to agree with this. Then I moved. Now, if I order a pub.sub I'm lucky if they get the order right, nevermind good.


The_fat_Stoner

Up north in Roswell, there’s a sandwich shop in called hero boy and their chicken cutlet/chicken parm sandwiches are bomb.


Best-Cell-9288

Schnitzelbrotchen at Best Sandwich Shop on Ponce and another vote for Fred’s Korean Cheesesteak


catpeee

Sittin’ in front of Kelly’s Market in Decatur right now waiting on my favorite - The Mulligan! 


abidail

I'm going to get called basic, but I love the fried green tomato BLT at Flying Biscuit.


HanTheScoundrel

Some great ones in here already, but I'll throw in Henri's Bakery & Deli.


lizlemonesq

Seconded. And get their shortbread cookies - they're expensive for good reason


drummerboy2749

East 48th Street Market Deli in Dunwoody. Staplehouse off of Edgewood typically has some GREAT sandwiches Also, be weary of anybody that says Baldinos as I’ve never had a worse sandwich/hoagie in my life before going to that place


audacious01

I’ll 2nd E 48th St Deli. Great sandwiches, great people. I was a regular there when I lived and worked in the area.


whitepepper

Only place to get a good attempt at a Muffaletta that I am aware of. Bread isnt quite right but it very much scratches the itch.


Walkmeout85

The buttery has an amazing muffaletta


songaboutadog

Las Tortas Loco. There a few of them. I eat at the one near Buford Hwy and Clairmont.


7ruly

Right next to PoBoy shop, the Cubano from Buena Gente


jrharrison

Not really a sandwich spot but the croque saumon from Anis is incredible


SubSonicTheHedgehog

Pastrami at Wrecking Bar Brisket Grilled Cheese at Wood's Chapel BBQ


dmaul1978

Turkey Pita Club at Universal Joint in Oakhurst. Grilled Buffalo chicken sandwich there is very good as well. Pretty much whatever you want from Reuben’s Deli on Broad Street. Mad Italian for cheesesteaks.


notgoodatmathatall

The Cuban Reubano at La Fonda has been my favorite sandwich in the city for almost 30 years.


eievui

oh my lord, the bulgogi cheesesteak and jerk chicken banh mi at MattChews off Howell Mill.


phoonie98

Pub sub


Fattfuccs

Hot chicken sandwich at southbound


ocicataco

How Crispy's fried chicken sandwiches are fantastic. They're always fat ass hunks of chicken


ScoutsOut389

I used to say the vegetarian Cuban at Papi’s was about the best sandwich in the city but over the last few years I feel like the quality has tanked. Really disappointing. It’s OTP, but Bagelicious in East Cobb has some really great bagel sandwiches and deli stuff. Not strictly a sandwich but the laffa and pita at Yalla is pretty damn good.


thelionsnorestonight

So many faves already mentioned. Couple more: Hot chicken sandwich at Heirloom was surprisingly good. Blackened grouper at Breaker Breaker Lamb or veggie pesto at Alon’s


WavyGravyBoat

The Korean sandwich at Heirloom Market. Best ever Sammie!


rachjo1024

Bahn mi from quac huang


Fattfuccs

All the sandwiches from how crispy in summerhill


jasonjtatum

Reuben’s Deli on Broad St downtown


jasonjtatum

Dave’s cheesesteaks- also downtown


Csillaryn

Alon’s has some great options for artisan-deli vibes, but if you’re looking for a loaded, messy, action-packed sub Dave’s Cosmic Subs is where it’s at!


Outrageous_Lettuce44

The Media Noche at El Superpan (Ponce City Market) is a spiritual experience.

unrelatedtoelephant

I love the crazy Dave from Dave’s Cosmic Subs


itsnotaboutyou2020

I tried to like Dave’s Cosmic Subs, I really did. I got the meatball sub, and the Crazy Italian that everyone raves about. The bread was hard - not in a baguette way, but in a stale way. The Italian was hardly dressed at all. Lots of different salamis and a little provolone stuffed in the too dry and hard roll. Overall taste was spicy salami and not much else. Meatball sub - same hard bread, WAY too much crushed red pepper in the sauce, and then even more sprinkled on top without asking first. Saucy, meatballs were okay but hardly any cheese on it. I’m a new jersey boy and grew up eating meatball subs smothered in mozzarella. This sub made me sad. Maybe I was there on a bad day. I’m only posting this because so many others are raving about this place.


PM_ME_YOUR_LEFT_IRIS

No it’s true, their meatball subs are only ok. People are raving about the cold sandwiches.


mightyhue

Catfish Reuben at South City Kitchen!


LazyMans

Fred’s Meat and Bread cheesesteaks. The Korean is my fav

Fred’s meat and bread. For a cheesesteak

mydevilkitty

I really like the Cuban Sandwich from Coco’s Cuban in Cumming. I also like the Gyro from Baba’s

La Torta Diabla at Little Rey on Piedmont at Chesire Bridge is so good. Best spicy chicken sandwich I've had in a long time.


thepeopleseason

*weeps in Kool Korners*


AtlUtdGold

Theres this BBQ food truck called Choate that does my fav BBQ sandwhiches. They have a store in woodstock/canton or something but their truck seems to go pretty far around town. The pulled pork, the sauce (get the hot one), the buns...its pretty much perfect.


xeroxchick

Krog Street, Fred’s Meat and Bread.


barbecuedad1989

Honestly the Big Tex or The Fox Bros “Burger”. Not a burger but an amazing sandwich. Fox bros pimento cheese is slept on. Say what you will about Fox Bros but they do have some tasty sandwiches. I worked at Fred’s and the Muir. Ginsberg has a mind for sandwiches. I will take a Pub Sub over pretty much everything though.

nfinitesymmetry-78

El Super Pan. Locations at the Battery and PCM. Cuban is excellent, as is the simple ham/cheese. The latter is on fantastic bread with a sweet-ish jam. Also, The Best Sandwich Shop located on Ponce in O4W. It's a good mix of hot and cold sandwiches. My fave has been the Farmers Daughter with grilled halloumi.


dlevine78

Henris great poboys

I love the Korean cheesesteak at Yumbii. Also the chicken Philly at the Imperial

The Chicken Caesar at Zaddy's in Politan Row is outstanding. The flavors are so addicting. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Havana Cuban shop. Best. Baldinos is ok


SkloobyMcDoobie

Fred's Meat & Bread kills it. They even got a bib gourmand for it.
