The Tastiest Sandwiches in Orlando

Deli Desires

★★★★★ 4.5 (171) • $$

"We stopped by here for a quick to-go breakfast one day on our way to Disney's Animal Kingdom. I had heard of the legend of these bialys for a long time, and I just knew it was time to finally come and have one. The place is a hole in the wall tucked away diagonally from the Mills-50 intersection. It's takeout orders only, with a few small waiting tables inside. Very warm and inviting, the ambiance and the people inside. Very nice experience. As for the food itself, we got two bialys. I got the Bacon (Egg, Smoked Jalapeno Cheddar Cheese), and I also got to try the Veggie Deluxe (Pickled Veggie Cream Cheese, Tomato, Radish, Herb Salad, Marinated Cucumber, & Red Onion). Both were incredible. The bread was crisp and delightfully textured on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. A nice big hole, but still able to contain all the toppings within pretty well. The Bacon was as it sounded. Crispy bacon, a well-fried egg, and ooey gooey cheese that drips everywhere. The veggie caught me off guard with how good it was. The pickled, the creamy cheese, the bite from the radish, the different bite from the red onion. Crispy and fresh and really good! Do recommend.Overall, I recommend this place very much. Every bit of it was delicious, and there are endless amount of customizable combinations you can make. I will probably be back many more times before the end."

Huey Magoo's Chicken Tenders

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (106) • $

"I reallyyy wanted to like this place.It was my first experience at a Huey Magoo's. The chicken tenders were a nice size and they were very fresh.BUT the fries were not as fresh.They were slightly cold and they did not fill up the box. The staff also seemed as cold as the fries."

Sub Island

★★★★★ 5 (3) • $

"Wowww the food is amazing!! I ordered the philly steak combo. The combo came with a drink and fries!!! I just couldn't stop eating because everything was so fresh and delicious!!! I can't wait to try the other foods that they have!!"

LA Boiling Seafood Crab & Crawfish

★★★★☆ 4.2 (423) • $$

"This is our favorite place to get seafood boil in Orlando! We've been dining here for years - it's truly the definition of a hole in the wall as you might easily miss it when in the Mills/Colonial 50 food district. Parking is typical of restaurants in this area, but there are many options and if you have to park farther away you can quickly walk!The food is usually fresh, hot, and yummy! This most recent time was a little lacking in flavor compared to previous visits but the shrimp was high quality, easy to peel, truly "jumbo" sized, and fresh. We were served quickly and were provided with the usual gloves and bibs. Highly recommend for price, quality, taste, and service!"

LaSpada's

★★★★☆ 3.7 (102) • $

"This place is known for their cheesesteak special. What makes them unique is that the steak and cheese are chopped together and piled high into their roll. Whether you like peppers, onions or the works, any choice would be delicious. Service is pretty quick whether you call it in, or come in and order. You can eat inside, but most of the time, I take it home."

JB's Fish Camp & Seafood Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.7 (742) • $$

"Service was incredible, the food was good. Everything I had was good, special callout to the Bloody Mary which was very tasty. Mahi was probably my second favorite. We sat outside on the covered deck and it's mid October. The sun was behind the clouds and the breeze was blowing and it couldn't have been a much better experience. This is a regular place for us when we come down here."

Lizzie's Memphis Style Barbecue

★★★★☆ 3.9 (240) • $$

"BBQ, the cure for the common hangover!The Sunset Walk area in Kissimmee has many restaurants and I decided to head over to Lizzie's Memphis Style BBQ.There was an event going on so parking was horrible, reminded me of trying to find a spot at a Shopping Mall back in the days BEFORE there was online shopping, lol.Got in and was seated pretty quick. Ordered LIZZIE'S SMOKEHOUSE BURGER (Pork, Brisket, Pepper jack Cheese, Fried Onions, Lizzie's sauce & BBQ sauce.) Comes with a basket of fries and it definitely hit the spot.Until next time!"

Woody's Lunch Box

★★★★☆ 3.9 (201) • $$

"I absolutely love the food here. I find that most spots in Hollywood Studios are very hit or miss, but the food at Woody's Lunch Box has always been consistently good. I love the totchos and the grilled cheese sandwich. The kids meals are also a fantastic value and a great portion, even for adults. The service is always great, and they have mobile ordering down to a science. Now for my one complaint, that the seating here is bad. It can be so difficult to find a table, and there's almost no shade in the area unless you get lucky enough to get a table with an umbrella. I hope that one day they put covered seating here, and add more tables. Until then, I will give it 4 stars."

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★★☆ 4.1 (8)

"Nice location, great sandwiches, super friendly staff. We have already been three times since it opened two weeks ago and will probably continue to go once a week. They will give the Pub subs next door a run for their money!"

Orgullo Latino

★★★★☆ 4.3 (19) • $$

"Que delicia! The food is homey and actually delicious. The portions are quite large and filling, without the bloating, plus affordable. I'd stop by for lunch breaks or I'd recommend calling ahead to pickup. You can easily feed two people with their platters if you're not super hungry and its less than $10."

Celery City Craft

★★★★☆ 4.3 (216) • $

"This place reminds me of Citrus City Craft in Lake Mary. If you like it there, you will like it here. Full bar in addition to the extensive craft beer selection. They have Sushi & Seoul just outside in their beer garden area where they also have live entertainment at times. Service is awesome.You can use Sushi & Seoul for food and if you don't find something on that menu to your taste I am sure you could bring it in from somewhere else too. Overall, just a great spot that has a permanent food truck without wheels attached to it outside."

Between Breads

★★★★☆ 4 (1)

"Found this place when they came and parked at Oviedo on the Park's annual Christmas tree lighting event. They had a menu full of nothing but my favorite thing, sandwiches. I'm serious, if you hangout with me during an Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas dinner, I'm grabbing for the rolls, and making small sandwiches out of whatever is in front of me. It's a problem. But anyway, burgers, chicken sandwiches, fish sandwiches, Ruebens, monte cristos, it was all just sandwiches. I was in heaven. I ended up ordering the Po Boy Crispy Shrimp (Tartare sauce, cucumber, cilantro, carrots and chihuahua cheese). Just to be clear, this was not a po' boy. I feel like it was also trying to be a banh mi. I'm not sure.What I am sure of, though, it that it tasted pretty darn good. The roll was soft and large. The veggies were fresh and crispy. There was plenty of shrimp on here, so I wasn't getting cheated of meat like some food trucks try to do. It was just a good sandwich. I can't ask for much more. Big fan of this food truck. Hope to see it around again."

Melanie's Seafood

★★★★★ 4.6 (58)

"Came here with a friend. Nice menu, good variety, reasonable prices. Everything we had was fresh made. The blackened whole pompano was perhaps the best fish I ever ate. A religious experience, minus the holy water. Great friendly competent service. Definitely will return."

Vespr Coffeebar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (545) • $

"I haven't been to Vespr in years but finally came back and had a wonderful experience. It was in the middle of a weekday so it wasn't too busy and I was glad I could grab seating at the window. I ordered a peanut butter mocha latte which was amazing as well as the pesto chicken salad sandwich which was so delicious and perfectly toasted. I really enjoyed hanging out there for a bit to get some reading done. Glad to have this cafe nearby!"

Tom's Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.8 (64) • $

"Wonderful place and even more wonderful ownership! Amazing people and business to support! Love it here! The food is also so good with nice thin crust and the vibes of the place are very homey and welcoming!"

Chicken Salad Chick

★★★★☆ 3.5 (63)

"Was looking for a lunch place that opens before 11am and found chicken salad chick! They open at 10:30 :) I was a bit nervous coming right at open because I have had experiences where places "open" at a certain time but aren't ready to start actually working. Nope. Not this place. They greeted me and were ready to help! I ordered four sandwiches and four sides and four sweets to go. Everything was ready in less than 15 minutes. It was packed up the way I had requested and given to me with a smile. I know the office ladies are gonna love it. I initially heard about this business on the "how I built this "podcast and I have since seen them participating in local charity events where I was able to try many of their chicken salads. Good stuff. I feel like this is a good business to support."

The Fox & Hounds Public House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (91) • $$

"Great hole in the wall bar. The service is good and the food is good as well. The place is very tiny so be ready to squeeze in if they're busy. I only have 4 star because of we go in and don't know the staff we tend to not get served right away like others do. Overall it's a great place to check out."

1845 Tap House

★★★★☆ 4.1 (65) • $$

"The perfect place to relax with friends. Owners are awesome and entertaining. Service is top notch- drinks are what you expect- no surprises there (really good selection), but the service is over the top awesome. Why go somewhere with mediocre service when you can be waited on by the best?"

Panera Bread

★★★☆☆ 2.5 (83) • $

"Every time I come here--and the time between visits keeps growing in length due from constant disappointment--something goes wrong. Today I saw that social distancing is laid out, but not enforced. People are seated at the "don't sit here" tables. I had to clean my own table to have a seat. Napkin holders are empty. And it's not like Panera is among the less expensive eateries! Have you seen their prices lately? Which leads me to my next question: What exactly are they asking for tips for at the register? I cleaned my own table, picked up my own food, bused my own table, and supplies aren't topped off? Literally the tiniest bit of employee presence in the dining room would address most of the problems I saw today. Today, I paid more for "extra" protein. Not sure I even got it. At the point my food was ready for pickup, I didn't even feel like saying anything. The state of the place indicates an indifference towards the entire business on their part--why waste my time?Just a very lackluster experience from this Panera. Again. Here is hoping things turn around eventually."

Nick's Pizzeria

★★★★★ 4.6 (55) • $

"Saw this place had a vegan cheese pizza option and tried it on a whim.I'm really glad I did cus it HIT.I love a nice thick doughy crust and that's exactly what Nick served me up. I never order just a plain cheese but this was so perfectly seasoned and full of flavor that it didn't need anything else. Texture was also excellent.Nick's nails it! This is my new favorite pizza place. Thanks for the vegan option!"

But First Coffee Shop

★★★★★ 4.8 (106) • $$

"We came here and went out of our way prior to shopping, just to visit But First Coffee Shop. Why? Because I checked on Yelp and it had rave reviews AND their menu looked delicious!When we arrived, But First Coffee Shop is located in a smaller stripmall, but don't let that fool you! There's plenty of parking available. When we arrived this place was hopping. Every table was taken.We were quickly greeted by one of the owners. She was just lovely. She was peppy, smiling, ready to help! I love that this coffee shop is rooted in faith and family owned. It gives you a welcoming and accepting feeling, and just feels like home. Everyone in our party was set to order. I wound up ordering a brown sugar cinnamon oat milk iced latte, my one sister ordered the nutella iced latte, my mom ordered a caramel iced latte, and my other sister ordered a matcha latte.To eat we wound up getting a few breakfast sandwiches and a mallorca con jamon y queso.Everything was delicious! The coffee was robust, sweet (but not too sweet), delicious, the sandwiches were made with care and were delicious, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming.If you're looking for a great experience, quality coffee and food, and a welcoming atmosphere, But first coffee is for you!"

Coqui

★★★★★ 4.6 (113) • $

"Loved the food. We ordered a Beef Patty, 2 alcapurias and 1 Sorullito de maíz (sweet corn with cheese). Everything was delicious. They also carry cola champagne.I would definitely return for the food."

Firehouse Subs

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (28) • $$

"Great food - entire family loved itGood service by Josh and Marquis and the cleaning lady also -did not get her name.Good Ambience since we were last few folks-very good oneGreat Job by Younger Brother Mr. Marquise and Mr.Josh and Cleaning lady also states i should return to their Fireshouse-this happened on March 16th 2024...

Huey Magoo's Chicken Tenders

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (23)

"Only went through drive thru but it's just as good if not better than Canes and better yet it's cheaper. Hard to mess up chicken fingers and fries which they did not. Everything was fresh and hot and since I went through drive thru it was quick as well."

Arby's

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (18) • $

"This is our new Arby's location. All I can say is I'm in so much trouble. The new location is clean and has been pleasant and easy to work with since opening. Of course any new location has its mistakes and glitches when opening but they fix the issues quickly and now are on top of they're game. The Reuben is my absolute favorite and I keep coming back lunch after lunch. I highly recommend this location for a quick bite."

Panera Bread

★★★☆☆ 2.6 (88) • $

"This Panera Bread location is in a small shopping plaza in Altamonte Springs. The quick service restaurant features a bakery and a clean, quiet dining room. The ambiance is -friendly, but I think the environment is more geared towards people who are looking to take advantage of the free WiFi connection and the library-quiet noise level. It's a great place to work remotely, study, or read a novel. All I heard while I was there was the faint hum of the appliances as the employees put orders together, the clicking of keys as laptops were typed on, and the tink of silverware against plates. The smell of the bakery was strong when I entered, like freshly baked bread.However, I will add that I was not impressed with the serving sizes. I thought that they were ridiculously small, especially because of the not-so-cheap menu prices. I ordered half of a Greek Salad and half of the Frontega Chicken Sandwich, which was sold as a combo, but didn't make it much cheaper. It was delicious and made correctly, but I was surprised at the tiny amount of salad that they gave me.The menu is vegetarian friendly. Some of the options include the Mediterranean Veggie Sandwich, Tomato Mozzarella Flatbread, Caprese Sandwich, Greek Salad, Strawberry Poppyseed Salad, and much more. Overall, I recommend Panera Bread for those who are looking to grab a coffee and a pastry while working on a quiet activity."

Paris Banh Mi

★★★★★ 4.7 (133) • $$

"After shopping at the Altamonte Mall I felt like grabbing a sub nearby and Paris Banh Mi came up in the search. Entered the establishment and was immediately greeted by courteous staff. Ordered a Banh Mi Dac Biet (Special Combination Sub) to go and while waiting I perused the baked goods and they all looked amazing. They also sell Korean Hot Dogs, Eggrolls, Milk Tea amongst other things which I'll have to try next time! Oh yeah and the cute stuffed animals (Capybaras I believe) lol"

Park Avenue Smoothie Cafe

★★★★★ 4.6 (36)

"Went here for Acia bowl with my wife It was amazing and yummy We tried the blue bowl also which was even better.Another lady said she goes here daily for smoothies because there so good .I highly recommend it. It's a good find in a relaxing neighborhood"

Cafe Nolo

★★★★★ 4.5 (6)

"Walking through lake square mall, my husband and I stumbled upon this place! We got a 6" Cuban sandwich and split it, photo is my half - HUGE sandwich! We both loved it, so good and we'll definitely be back. The owner was very kind and it was nice and quiet in there, our 1 year old enjoyed sitting on a couch watching tv haha."

Jeannie's Place

★★★★☆ 4.3 (66) • $

"Ample parking. Tucked away in an out of the way location this is a simple diner with a warm vibe. Servers are friendly and warm. Food quality is ample and excellent. A great place to enjoy a meal."

Chicken Salad Chick

★★★★☆ 4.2 (62)

"One of my favorite lunch spots!Always a friendly atmosphere, quick service and delicious food!My go to is the Fancy Nancy chicken salad. It's the one with the apples,pecans and grapes. You can get it as a sandwich or with crackers.I always get the toasted white bread.I'll be back soon!"

Jersey Mike's Subs

★★★★☆ 3.5 (50) • $

"Definitely a go to stop for us! Try the Philly cheesesteak as it's the best! Their sweet tea is also amazing. Stop by for friendly, fast service and fresh sammies!"

Bojangles

★★★★☆ 3.5 (30)

"This was my first time visiting Bojangles, and I have to say, it was an unexpectedly great experience! We stopped in for a quick snack since we were just passing through, and I was pleasantly surprised by how helpful and kind the manager was--truly some of the best service I've ever had at a fast food restaurant. He noticed right away that we were first-timers and took the time to explain the menu, even letting us sample a hot, fresh tender to make sure we liked it.We ended up ordering a small meal to share, and he was kind enough to give us each our own drink and a variety of sauces to try since we were indecisive. Honestly, I've always loved Popeyes, but Bojangles might just take the top spot after this experience. The place was clean, the staff was attentive, and the whole atmosphere was welcoming.To top it off, the manager gave us two blueberry biscuits they weren't going to keep, which turned into a delightful surprise treat. It definitely feels like we got lucky with such great service, but it's the kind of kindness that makes you want to come back. Highly recommend stopping in if you get the chance!"

Steak UP

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (39) • $$

"If your in the mood for a quick and tasty meal especially in the mall, I would Definitely recommend here. Staff is quick in service and the ambiance was decent. Food was served hot right out the kitchen and the portion size on point. Definitely will be coming back for the steak and chicken. So good"

Mama Mia's Steak Subs & Sandwiches

★★★★☆ 4 (60) • $

"I don't often to get come here but when I'm working in Orlando I'm fortunate enough that Mama Mia's is literally across the street. I can say by far this place is one of my favorite cheesesteak places because of the sandwich pictured with this review. Their teriyaki cheesesteak is by far my favorite thing I've had here. Always hot and fresh. Quality ingredients. And never disappoints. I was going to give the joint 4 stars but then I started thinking about what I didn't like and honestly I couldn't think of anything to justify dropping a star."
