The Most Scrumptious Sandwiches in Fresno

Smokehouse 41

★★★★★ 4.5 (934) • $$

"Sooooo good! We visited multiple times during a brief trip to Yosemite in August 2023, and even over a year later, we still rave and think about the food. The sandwiches were the highlight--Tri-Tip, Sasquatch, and Chopped Beef Brisket with great BBQ and white sauce. The meat was smoky and tender.When we went for dinner, the place was bustling. The pulled pork and beef brisket were great. The ribs were good but not as memorable as the sandwiches. Smokehouse 41 is a must-visit for BBQ lovers!"

"6/22/24Getting breakfast for tomorrow!! I called and ordered the Supreme Veggie omelette egg white with pancakes, SF syrup, country potatoes and salsa. Egg white is an extra charge. The worker was kind and said it would be ready in 10-15 minutes. Arrived, checked in. Greeted by kind worker and order was ready and brought out. I paid for it with good day wishes and another worker greeted, adding salsa in the bag. Appreciated!! Very nice restaurant. A relaxing, calm atmosphere. Lots of seating with a country home feeling. 6/23/24 Happy Sunday everyone!!Got breakfast ready and split. Egg white Veggie supreme omelette half was REALLY GREAT!! !

"We got here on a Sunday around 9am and it was busy, but after a quick 10-minute wait we were seated. Every brunch pro knows, when there's a wait to be seated that's when you scope the menu and get order ready. I ordered the hotel California Benedict, which was 100% shareable, and topped with chorizo hash with avocado, fried eggs, and blackened aioli all on a grilled english muffin. To say it was delicious would be an understatement! The spicy chorizo paired with creamy aioli worked perfectly, but then to add a runny eggs... hubba hubba! All of the rich flavors combined with crunchy texture of the English muffin sealed the deal for me. My kids loved their kids chocolate chip pancake and bacon plates. My son ate all of his pancake and was asking for more. My wife got a half order of the Tom Sawyer Benedict. The Tom Sawyer is a classic benedict. Thick Canadian bacon, fried eggs and hollandaise sauce on a grilled english muffin. This was very good too and their hollandaise is on point! The portion sizes here are massive, so the option to get half order is a game changer. It also reduces the price of your meal, score! This is a return visit for sure. Next time I'm getting the biscuit and gravy bowl!"

Michael's Pizza Bar and Grill

★★★★☆ 4.3 (624) • $$

"Recently I had occasion to visit Michael's Pizza Bar, which I had been hearing about for years. As it is nowhere near my usual routes around town, I had not tried it. Then, one of the organizations I belong to scheduled a meeting there so I was committed. If you are a motorcycle fan, you will love this place. Situated next door to the local Harley dealer, the ambiance is 100% two wheeled fun with their own collection of bikes and windows so you can see into the dealer of the American Classic while you dine. I just had the chili as I had a big lunch a few hours early. The service was friendly, on point and attentive. All of the group I was with seemed to be totally happy with their meals and service as well. I gave it 4/5 for now as I haven't had their pizza. The chili was great!"

Off The Grill

"Getting lunch! One chicken Philly sandwich ordered. The worker was very kind and said it would be ready in 5-10 minutes. I walked in to get it. The order was ready and the worker was very kind. I paid for the order and the worker handed it over with good day wishes! Clean and safe. Definitely a place where you go to pick up and leave. They do have outside seating. Lunchtime! Chicken Philly sandwich split in half. My half was really delicious! You get bbq with it and that made it even better! Plus, it has peppers in it too! Fresh bread and chicken cooked perfectly. Just really tasty! Mother said hers was great too! Great service and delicious chicken Philly sandwich! Highly recommended!"

Hometown Emporium

★★★★☆ 4.2 (78) • $

"We were hungry after antique shopping. Most sandwiches are made with the fresh in house baked bread. Sourdough was amazing! My pastrami was so so good. We then proceeded to purchase every (well almost) baked treat they offer. Be sure to tell them what kind of cookie you prefer when you order or you get what they give you....not that it matters. It was all delicious. Thank you for a lovely lunch with my daughter and aunt."

"I love all their sandwiches! Of course you have to have a side of their pasta to complement your sandwich. Been coming here for 15 years."

Uh La La Organic Coffee & Tea

★★★★★ 4.9 (60) • $

"This was my first time here as I frequent the thrift store down the street. 3 stars is for the service soley. The girls working were very nice and helpful. The drink I ordered though was horrible. I really wanted to like it but it was gross. It was the Golden Latte. It was gritty, bitter and just all around not good. Next time I will try something else."

Judy's Donuts

★★★★☆ 4.1 (64) • $

"It was International Coffee day so after a vigorous workout at the gym I decided to break my routine and and dive deep into a pool of donut comfort. Upon entering the aroma of happiness filled my lungs and permeated my soul...a warm and fuzzy feeling came over me and my knees buckled.Feeling faint from the experience I finally composed myself and focused on the showcase of baked goods and with blurred vision and a wet palette I selected the lemon filled donut, my fingers left a trail of oiled finger prints across the glass...moving towards the register I gazed at the Kona coffee lingering in the distance and selected that particular brew to mingle with the tart of lemon and sugar. Upon revealing the baked bundle of joy, my mind flashed back to my last experience i had with a glazed pastry, and remembered the culinary world of flavors...with a smile on my face my first bite was experimental in nature but once the lemon aroused my taste buds there was no stopping! Ahhhh the joy of a simple donut...its a beautiful thing."

Fresh veggies, bread and peppers with pepper jack added a nice spice! Really delicious! Fresh pickle half with it too! Mother said her half was Great and that it tasted really fresh! Good service and great sandwich! Highly recommended!"

Fancy Burger

★★★★☆ 3.8 (126) • $

"Burgers are great! Fries and onion rings are terrific as well. I also really like the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. Prices are reasonable and service is prompt and speedy. I do not know if you can eat inside it's a small place but they put out terrific burgers and fries and onion rings. They also deliver by DoorDash but that's pretty pricy, I suppose you pay for convenience."

Cowpuncher's Saloon At Fountain Springs

★★★★★ 4.9 (8)

"The staff at the cowpunchers saloon really treated my wife and I so well. We stopped in after our dinner reservation at a nearby restaurant were not honored (Dutch frontier closed and didn't bother to tell us after we had reservations booked 6 weeks in advance). Cowpunchers was so packed we couldn't be seated but they accommodated us at the bar seating and went above and beyond to make our night special. Definitely great food and great people here at cowpunchers. Shame on the Dutch Frontier owners for treating us so terribly with no apologies or forewarning."

Uncle Moe's Pizza and Grill

★★★★☆ 3.8 (58) • $

"I originally found Uncle Moe's from Groupon.com. It seemed like a decent deal and brought in my printed groupon. I was informed by the employee who apologized and said that the owner of Uncle Moe's was no longer accepting Groupons (owner didn't like the specific deal published) and recommended that I request a refund from Groupon. I had already taken the time to drive down here, so I opted to buy a pizza anyways. It seemed shady that the owner didn't accept the groupon anymore, but the employee who seemed like a manager was nice enough (he seemed to take his job seriously and wanted to make a good pizza to our specifications.) He made our pizza with a well done crust like I requested. It was pretty good. I would give our first visit 4 stars.____On a recent Sunday night when we had out of town guests over, we decided to call in a pizza order for two pizzas around 7 pm. They close at 8 pm. The female who answered the phone said that they were closing up the kitchen soon. We were confused as to whether or not they were still open till 8 pm. So we asked if we should still place an order for pizza to be picked up whenever they were ready. She reluctantly said, "Yes." Geez, if you don't want to make pizza then just tell us and we'll order from somewhere else... and save us the trouble. We ordered two large specialty pizzas (Railroad and California Chicken) with well done crusts. We sent two people to pick up the pizzas and it seemed like the owner and his family were all there hanging out, waiting for the shop to close. The nice guy who seemed like the manager last time wasn't there this time. We probably picked up the pizzas around 7:35 - 7:40 pm. The pizza was totally different from our first visit despite ordering the same pizzas. The pizza crust was disappointingly pale and very soft. It was the last time that I'll ever order pizza here again. I try to support locally owned businesses, but when pizza hut gives you better customer service and better pizza..."

Corner Bakery Cafe

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (264) • $$

"Pretty good food! Service was okay, could be better, but it's a purchase than sit kind of place, so guess you can't expect a whole lot. We arrived in the late afternoon on a Sunday, not too much going on, a few people at tables, but they took our order right away, and we had no issue finding a place to sit. The food was delicious. We each ordered the Choose 2. I ordered the chicken rosa pasta and the chicken pomodori panini, with a side caesar salad. The caesar salad was average, reminded me of bagged caesar salad, except for the croutons, those were house made and yummy. Both the panini and the pasta had very similar flavors for sure, kind of a tomato, basil, pesto, spinach thing going on. Which was fine for me, but if you're looking for variety don't order these two together! My friend got a cup of tomato soup, and the choose 2 with the chicken pesto sandwich and the pesto cavatappi. She said both were delicious too. She had the dragon fruit tea and did not care for it though. I've had breakfast BBLT & Egg sandwich before and it is so good (worth adding avocado too.) Both in house and on Door dash. Very much a "panera" type place and for being something I could get good food to go, for the same price as a fast food restaurant, It's pretty good to me. Oh! my other complaint, besides service, was the to go containers felt so flimsy."

Sub Shop

"Excellent customer service. Excellent quality food. Even through owner changes, food remains the same. New decor updates are nice."

Al's Hot Chicken

★★★★☆ 4.3 (32)

"So good. I'm super impressed. The flavor is so good high quality crispy tenders, I got mild and it was still pretty spicy for me, soft sweet buns, the slaw is crisp and tastes great. The star of the show was the waffle. It didn't need the syrup. It was crispy, buttery and sweet. I'm picky about macaroni and cheese so I won't get that again but I've yet to find a good Mac and cheese at a chicken shop so do with that what you will. I will definitely come back, these halal spots have upped their game."

Bob's Drive In

★★★★☆ 3.5 (34) • $

"Always hits the spot. The owner is a great soul and always is trying to provide for our community. Definitely a staple place that I visit often."

California Fish Grill

★★★★☆ 4.1 (168) • $$

"This may sound weird, but hear me out - Their Fish & Chips here in Fresno, CA are better than what my husband and I have had from other restaurants in the Santa Cruz area as well as different coastal cities along the Pacific Northwest. I know, I know, that doesn't sound right, and we were shocked too, but it's the honest truth! We just spent the last month in various coastal cities along CA, OR & WA and always try out the fish & chips along the way. We were surprisingly disappointed however, every time. They just did not compare to what we usually get from our own California Fish Grill here at home. We eat there at least once a month and the food has always been delish. We often get the Fish & Chips platters and sub out the koleslaw with the Tomato & Feta side and it's just so yum! The fish is perfect and the breading as well. We keep going back and highly recommend if you're looking for some great Fish & Chips"

Jimmy John's

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (136) • $

"5th day doing keto. I really needed to eat something toothsome and filling. Jimmy John's hit the spot. A tuna lettuce wrap with tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and pickles did the job. Super fresh and tasty. Love this place. The people that work there are always friendly and helpful. Keto Jimmy Johns!"

Urbane Cafe

★★★★★ 4.5 (110) • $$

"I love all of the healthy choices at Urbane Cafe! My favorite dish is the salmon bowl, but they also offer other options, such as sandwiches, salads, and soups. The cilantro torta and southwest are two of my sandwich go-to's. My son loves their cookies and flavored lemonades. The kids' menu has plenty of great options that kids will actually eat!The staff at this location is amazing. They are always very friendly and helpful."

The Train Depot

★★★★☆ 4 (741) • $$

"I paid $50 for two pancakes biscuits, and gravy and one egg on top and my friend had bacon and eggs and hashbrowns. I asked to the waitress if it was $31 or $51 and she was rude to me, but do you want me to get a Calculator and add it up for you. I am never eating there again Hispanic lady with scorpion on her neck. I never have any problems coming in there. I'm a regular, but guess what you just lost my business. Maybe you should treat your customers with a little more respect. That waitress needs to go to charm school."

Deli Delicious

★★★★☆ 3.6 (140) • $

"Missed this place so much since I moved out of Cali! I forgot got how good these sandwiches were and their quality is so wonderful. Avocados were so fresh and ripe with the right amount of turkey! I waited awhile to get my food but I don't mind because I know they're layering the inside of my sandwich so nicely and carefully. It's not splattered on and a mess like other sandwich spots. I also ordered the fries and it came out super hot with bomb seasoning. Best sandwich ever, I love this place."

Rocket Dog Gourmet Brats & Brew

★★★★☆ 4.4 • $$

"During my first visit, I was impressed by the interactive chalkboard pillars inside the restaurant, which my daughter particularly enjoyed. It's safe to say that we'll be returning in the future, and here's why. The customer service and employee interaction were excellent. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, and the staff was prepared to assist with any inquiries.I had a wonderful dining experience at a place with high-quality food. Although the prices were a bit high, the food was fantastic. The bacon avocado burger was juicy, flavorful, and made with real ground beef. The restaurant doesn't serve frozen patties; instead, they form the ground beef into a ball and smash it with a heavy spatula. The homemade chili was full of flavor that intensified with every bite. Come check them out !"

Ice Cream Co

★★★★☆ 3.6 (239) • $

"This business is one of a kind. The owner and supervisor are committed to hiring and training individuals who have disabilities. And, the ice cream is so so so good. The staff is very friendly and sweet. Cristina the supervisor is very patient, supportive and just a Wonderful human. The restaurant is spacious and very welcoming."

Mocha Magic Cafe and Bake Shop

★★★★★ 4.5 (122) • $

"This bakery is such a local treasure! I contacted them to see if they could make bear cupcakes for my daughter's first birthday and I provided a couple examples. They said they could, but I was still somewhat skeptical how well they would turn out. They exceeded every expectation! They were absolutely adorable - and they truly tasted as amazing as they looked. Worth every penny!"

Port of Subs

★★★★☆ 3.6 (27) • $

"I seriously don't know why I haven't tried this place before. I usually go to deli delicious. But after being let down so many times I decided to try something new. My hubby suggested port of subs so we went with that. We got a large turkey sub. It was huge! We shared it because it was so big. There was lots of meat which is a plus for me. I was surprised at the price too. I spend way more at deli delicious and for a smaller sandwich at that."

"Thanks for the ongoing food and meals out of Norms deli in Shaver Lake. The employees are busy with orders and are ready to add your order. They have local treats and memories to buy here too. It smells good inside and parking is pretty good too. Norm added some picnic tables with protection at the side. There are some small vacay rentals upstairs too."

West Coast Sourdough

★★★★☆ 3.6 (235) • $$

"The bread is stellar! Clam chowder is delightful and classic. Turkey cranberry sandwich was just ok, could have used more cranberry but enjoyed the roasted turkey. Only one restroom. Told the lady who took our order it was our first visit, she wasn't helpful in introducing us to the product or even a welcome in . It's pretty good kinda pricey but I think worth it for the bread"

Wing It

"My wife and I tried Wing It for the first time on Saturday and it was fantastic. We loved the original wings and the lemon pepper. Fries were crispy and hot! Crystal, our server, was amazing and really attentive. We will be back!"
