The Most Delicious Sandwiches in San Antonio

Biff Buzby's Burgers

★★★★☆ 4.2 (532) • $$

"Inconsistent Experience--Great First Visit, but Disappointing ReturnWe visited twice in one week, and the experiences couldn't have been more different. Our first visit was easily 4/5 stars--the burger and fries were , perfectly cooked, and super satisfying.Unfortunately, our second visit was a major letdown. The multiple appetizers we ordered were soaked and soggy with grease, making them hard to enjoy. The fries, which were amazing the first time, were SUPER salty this time around--a complete 180 from what we had before. And the brisket egg rolls? Honestly, they shouldn't be a thing. The flavors just didn't work at all.It's a shame because we had high hopes after our first visit, but the inconsistency really stood out on the second trip."

"The food here is so simple but so soooo good. The onion soup was the perfect amount of salty oniony cheesey warm goodness. The croissants taste made with care and love. The little profiteroles at the end just finished the meal with a sweet little unexpected touch. Absolutely will be back we adore this place."

Pam's Patio Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.3 (445) • $$

"My friend Miranda invited me out to lunch. She asked me what we should so naturally, I Yelped places. Pam's came up as a perfect lunch spot located between both our areas. I sent you the link and she said let's do it. When I arrived in our scorching hot weather it was nice to walk into a cool place. We ere created by the host and seated promptly. The place had a nice, clean, cozy feeling. They had a plenty of options that meet my needs. I ordered the veggie club special with water since it was hot. My husband ordered the bean and cheese chalupa with an unsweetened tea. My friend ordered a chicken sandwich. Our food was delicious!! The salsa was the best I have ever had! It had such a spicy kick that I craved more. Let's say it cleared out my sinuses. Everything looked and tasted great! When I saw fruit with my meal I was expecting a small mix of assorted fruit. You know mango, grapes, strawberries. They gave me a small slice of an orange. I also had a dill pickle spear which was nice.Overall, I would definitely recommend. The ingredients are fresh and the quality definitely matches the price. My husbands chalupa looked good so next time I want that. If you're in the area give this place a try. It's a nice place to cool off and have a nice meal that doesn't leave you bloated."

Bilia Eatery & Coffee

★★★★★ 4.8 (328) • $$

"Bilia Eatery is a true San Antonio gem and one of my favorite lunch spots in the city!This amazing restaurant specializes in a wide variety of breakfast and lunch dishes inspired by wide variety of latin american countries. Everything is fresh and made to order, and they also have seasonal dishes that are a must! I think their best seller and my favorite dish is their cuban sandwich. It is absolutely delicious and cooked to perfection! If you are not in the mood of a sandwich then I recommend their steak salad. It is the best steak salad you can find in the city and the flavors of the meat they use are insane! If you are planning to visit them during a weekday try to get here before or after the lunch rush. They do tend to get pretty busy, but they do their best to get all dishes out as quickly as possible. They also have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, which I am sure will be pretty nice in the fall. Overall, this place is 10/10 in my book and I hope everyone gives them a chance!"

Abel's Diner

★★★★☆ 4.2 (406) • $$

"Always great home cooked food. Chicken fried steak is hand battered. Greaf wait service and always fresh food."

Benjies Munch

★★★★★ 4.6 (336) • $$

"Review # 400, and I'm so glad it is for an outstanding place!My wife was having dental work nearby and one of the dental assistants recommended this place. I looked on Yelp and found out that I had bookmarked this place some time ago as one of the places I needed to try.This place was in the extended shopping center we were in, and we decided to drive to it as it was so hot. Finding it, we found a nearby parking spot in the shade and took it. We arrived a little early, so there was not a crowd (that changed considerably before we left).Walking in, we found a few tables were taken, but that nearly all in the overflow area were empty. We only had 1 couple in front of us waiting in line so that gave us time to look at the menu that is on the wall. We decided what we wanted by the time the other couple had ordered.The help was so nice and knowledgeable and helped us with ordering. She also was quick to tell us about how they grind the meat daily, made their own chips daily, and in fact just about everything was made in house daily. While we were talking with her a young man walked up behind the counter. It turned out he was the owner's son, and he was so friendly.We paid for our order and went and got a table in the overflow area. It was not long until the food arrived. It was just as we ordered, hot, juicy, and so very tasty. The burgers were cooked to order, the chips were amazing, and the side order of fries were great. Everything was seasoned so well, just like I would have done it at home:)Talk about service. While we were eating a young lady came to check on our food. After a while, the owner's son came to check on us. Finally, the owner came around to check on us. Amazing!!! The owner actually spent quite a while with us talking and told us his story about how the restaurant came to be. Such a nice man, and in fact, they all were.Will I return? A definite yes. I will go out of my way to eat here again."

Black's Barbecue - New Braunfels

★★★★☆ 3.6 (544) • $$

"I don't usually eat Texas barbecue but when in Texas I have to and let me tell you Black's Barbecue did not disappoint!We got the fatty beef brisket, jalapeno-cheese sausage and pork spare ribs to share. Everything was soo tender, juicy and just so good! For sides we got the potato salad, mac and cheese and cream corn. The sides went perfectly with the meat. I also love how you can grab your own onions, pickles and bread because I'm an onion girlie and need a whole lot haha. The workers were very welcoming and friendly and it's a big place with a nice and chill vibe. I know there's many barbecue places here in Texas but I think Black's Barbeque is definitely worth a try!"

W D Deli

★★★★☆ 4.2 (346) • $$

"Was out and about in the Broadway area and my friend recommended we eat here. It's a small family owned deli restaurant. I ordered the Chicken Cesar Wrap. I chose the baked potato soup for the side. It was a good portion for the price. The sandwich was good and fresh. The soup was creamy. All staff were really friendly from the lady who took our order at the register to the gentlemen who picked up our plates. I checked in on Yelp and received a free cookie so make sure you check in on the app."

The Dienger Trading

★★★★☆ 3.9 (364) • $$

"Very delicious breakfast with such kind staff. One of the highlights of our trip to Boerne!"

Big'z Burger Joint

★★★★☆ 3.7 (389) • $$

"Great food, wonderful patio/meeting & play/green space for get togethers & fabulous staff!!! Party Room available & only 25% of what you'd get charged at Chicken & Pickle!!! Wow!!! Don't miss out on this great space at Hwy 151 near NW Loop 410. Huge area to hold any event or to just relax on any day! Check it out!!!"

Sandwich De Paris

★★★★★ 4.5 (254) • $

"*no pics because I was too hungry to bother* We stopped by Sandwich de Paris (SDP) after a medical appointment and were pleasantly surprised with our experience. The cafe is located off of Louis Pasteur in the medical center area. There's plenty of parking, though the parking lot did seem crowded during the lunch hour when we went. It seems like employees no longer bother to greet customers these days, so the hearty welcome we received--complete with a detailed explanation of the menu and specials--was a nice change of pace. Throughout our visit, the employee taking care of the front of the house cleaned, bussed tables, and engaged everyone who walked in or out of the restaurant, asking everyone how they enjoyed their food. The same employee took our order and was still courteous, personable, and authentically engaging. You could tell he enjoyed being there and assisting customers. My husband ordered the Tribbiani wrap, which was their special, with butternut squash soup. He devoured the wrap (loaded with three types of deli meat) and the soup in record time. He did say that the butternut squash soup tasted more like chicken stock than anything, but it may have been an ingredient he couldn't identify. He enjoyed it regardless. I ordered the tsukemono sandwich with a side salad dressed with balsamic vinaigrette. The grilled sirloin was tossed in a soy marinade and was tender and juicy. The meat was topped with tomato, cilantro, pickled veggies, red onion and aioli on a soft baguette. I asked for an additional cup of pickled veggies because I felt the sandwich needed some acidity to balance the sweetness of the marinade on the meat and the aioli. I would love to see the option to add thinly sliced jalapeños or maybe a kimchi option (though I know I'm venturing into another cuisine with that suggestion). Maybe add some heat in the form of chili sauce or toss the pickled veggies in nuoc cham to stay true to the overall vibe of the sandwich. The balsamic vinaigrette on my salad was too thick and sweet for my preference. I would prefer a thinner vinaigrette with more balsamic. It leaned more towards a ranch or Caesar dressing thickness and less towards a vinaigrette consistency. This hearty lunch for two (with bottles of TopoChico and Fanta) was around $30 with a tip. I highly recommend SDP if you're in the area, and even if you're not in the area, I recommend swinging by to check out their food. In a day when customer service and good food in a clean establishment are few and far between, this gem needs to be appreciated and supported."

The Hut Diner

★★★★★ 4.5 (249) • $

"Great local diner. Friendly staff. It's a small space, but it's a neighborhood diner so it's exactly what you'd expect. Delicious chicken and waffles."

Bare Bull BBQ

★★★★★ 4.5 (245) • $$

"Best BBQ in New Braunfels area- A Must-Try!We moved to the area seven months ago, eager to experience authentic Texas BBQ. Unfortunately, our experiences have mostly been disappointing, with places often serving BBQ that's too salty, dry, overpriced, or lacking in seasoning. We tried the 5 top-rated BBQ joints in New Braunfels area, but none compared to Bare Bull BBQ.Bare Bull BBQ is a true smokehouse! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of wood fire sets the tone for an amazing meal. The atmosphere is family-friendly and welcoming. We ordered the three-meat sampler, which included brisket, burnt ends, and chicken, while my husband opted for the brisket sandwich. Every bite was delicious--the meat was juicy with perfect bark marks. The sides were equally impressive, and the meal was perfectly finished with their banana pudding.What's more, the prices are incredibly reasonable--half the cost of Black's BBQ. Bare Bull BBQ has definitely earned our business, and we will be back!Photos doesn't do any justice, just go try it!"

Philly's Phamous Cheesesteaks

★★★★☆ 4.3 (265) • $$

"This Philly cheesesteak place was really good... but the meat is extremely salty!!! But it was still good just very salty."

Dee Willie’s BBQ

★★★★☆ 4 (296) • $$

"LOVE this bbq. The brisket, the ribs, and most of the sides are on point. Pro tip: Jalapeño/cheddar sausage isn't on the menu but they serve it until they run out. Try the sweet potato side and the mac n cheese. while the mac is a little peppery it's delicious."

Youz Guyz South Philly Cheesesteaks

★★★★☆ 3.8 (300) • $

"10/10 beef Philly cheesesteak10/10 crinkled fries8/10 funnel cake friesI was putting in an order for another one of my favorite cheesesteak places when a coworker of mine recommended this place. Since I didn't have anything scheduled around lunch time I drove out this way. They have a very small menu but all I can say is wow. I do a lot of traveling and every site I manage, has a restaurant that I designate. This place is now my official Cibolo area restaurant.The beef cheesesteak had lots of flavor. The white American cheese added the extra salt that I'm always looking for. I was a little disappointed in my onions not being grilled a little longer. I had several bites of raw crunchy onion. The bread was AMAZING. Fresh, soft on the inside and sturdy enough not to fall apart with the meat. The crinkled fries stayed crunchy to the last piece. I also really enjoyed the funnel cake fries. The place is small, had about 6 2 seat tables and about 6 more 4 seat tables. No table service, you order at counter and go up to pick up your order"

The Rooted Fork

★★★★☆ 4.3 (223) • $$

""We had the steak omelette, and it was absolutely delicious! The steak was cooked perfectly--tender and flavorful--and paired beautifully with the fluffy, well-seasoned steak so much flavor. Highly recommend this place & the atmosphere was amazing!"

Goomba's Pizzeria

★★★★☆ 3.8 (272) • $

"Upon entering, I thought this is such a cute little New York was pretty clean however employees could've been clean tables floor. I was greeted by the cashier young lady who was nice. She did have an AirPod AirPod in her ear which I thought that was a bit unprofessional and she came out from kitchen area wearing black gloves. She touched the registered took my cash money and went back into the back. That is a huge concern however I normally just pray over my food and hope for the best. I ordered the lunch special for about $11 got two large slices of pizza one with spinach and mushrooms the other with pepperoni and sausage! The pizza was delicious! Definitely NY style and I do recommend this place overall. To management I would recommend additional training in cross contamination, professionalism and find something for the workers to do besides on their phone. I also like the tea selection. The arcade games add a cute nostalgic vibe to the place."

"The staff is so awesome and patient as you figure out which deliciousness you want to enjoy. It's a laid back atmosphere that will leave you wanting to come back for more."

★★★★★ 4.6 (174) • $$

"My wife has been wanting to go here for a while so Friday after an appointment we stopped by for lunch and we were not disappointed. It's a relaxing environment with some great food. My wife had the chicken salad croissant and I had the French Toast. Both were really fresh and really good!!Service was a little slow but it gave us time to visit and just enjoy the day!!On the way out I heard my name being called by a beautiful Cinnamon Roll....i had to have it and it was great!!!!"

El Monte BBQ

★★★★☆ 4.4 (167) • $$

"Don't be fooled by the building's exterior. Walk in,stand in line,place your order and then Dine on the best BBQ in SATX.The 2 meat platter is your best deal. The chopped brisket sandwich is stuffed between 2 slices of Texas toast.The sides were just as good but my stomach was full by the time I got to them.I suggest to arrive early or after the lunch crowd. The seating area is limited but I'm not here for a good seat.This BBQ "makes you want to slap yo momma"."

Lous Woodfire Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.2 (182) • $$

"I love this place. The people are always so friendly and the pizza is superb. This is coming from a food snob-- you can trust me. The wait is the only iffy thing, but everything else makes up for it."

La Taqueria de Monterrey

★★★★☆ 4.3 (173) • $

"I've been coming here for a couple of years now. It's a great place to get some good food and catch up with friends. It's definitely a hole in the wall place with awesome tacos and tortas. Some of the best trumpo in town. The fries also have a delicious seasoning. It's a great spot to come back to."

Royal Pizza

★★★★★ 4.5 (149) • $

"I know I've left a previous review...but I had to leave a follow up review. If I could give 10 stars I would. I just ate the worlds most delicious gyro chefs kiss! I will be dreaming about it tonight and I can't wait to have another one. (I had to use my old photo cause I forgot to take a picture today)."

DelliGatti's Sandwich Shop

★★★★★ 4.6 (142) • $

"This is a great little restaurant. My husband and I go there for our weekly lunch date. The owner greets us when we walk in and gives us a kind send off when we leave. The sandwiches are great and made fresh. The portions are big enough for me to have leftovers. The homemade beef jerky is on point."

Happy Day Café

"The food here is absolutely amazing and delish!My son always wants to come here, and now I know why! What an amazing experience."

PB&J with Tay

★★★★★ 4.9 (118) • $

"Just a quick review of our first ever visit to a gourmet (but casual!) Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich shop!It is located upstairs at the end of a nice area, with shops in old rail cars to two story music buildings. It doesn't look it from the outside, but when you get inside, it kind of feels like an old house. It's a nice vibe. Even nicer was the owner and team, as they chatted with us (even finding some military music commonalities!) and helped us pick. I had an outstanding "Elvis." Peanut butter, banana, bacon and a choice of jelly (I got jalapeño strawberry, lol!). Wife got a "Rocky Road" and our son got a custom job with... coconut shavings! Ah... that's my boy!Bottom line... we loved it! We'll be coming back when we need that comfort food, taken to the next level!"

El Pilón Sabor Boricua

★★★★☆ 4.3 (143) • $$

"The food was delicious Definitely recommend. Good prices. Nice ambiance, make you feel at home. Friendly services. Overall loved the restaurant."

Loncheria El Popo

★★★★★ 4.9 (102) • $

"First time. Choice of five sandwiches, one of which is vegan (avocado, lettuce, tomato). I had the "roast beef", my friend had the "cheeseburger". Both were excellent. Buns are toasted. They are on the small size, though. So if hungry get two. At $3.99 each, definitely worth it! No fries but can get Lays potato chips and a bottled soda for extra."

Fork and Bowl Bistro

★★★★★ 4.8 (104) • $$

"This unassuming little sandwich spot is worth the stop. The flavors in both sandwiches we got were delightful. This has become one of my favorite places for lunch in the area. Great staff as well."

Texan Sizzle

★★★★★ 4.7 (108)

"Found this on our way to the convention center. Cozy space with good tunes, amiable host, quick service, and most importantly, the food was excellent. Reasonable prices. If we're in San Antonio, we'll be back. I'd have posted a pic of my Texas breakfast but I ate it completely a before I thought about it. It was that good."

Capparellis Italian Food & Pizza On Southcross

★★★★☆ 4.2 (133) • $$

"Always nice wait staff and amazing food. There's always a comfortable feeling in this restaurant as you see lots of families and frequently firemen or policemen there to have lunch/dinner. My favorite is the Tuscan and I always get the full order and take it home so it becomes three meals usually - so when you look at it that way its not too pricey although for a family with four and ordering an appetizer we usually spend about $120 ish."

Pan Dulce Bakery & Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.3 (122) • $

"Pan Dulce Bakery and Cafe. 10-30-21. 07/100 Today was a fortunate one because I was finally able to experience this bakery that I've been curious about for years. This cafe is lovely. It is quaintly decorated with theme a la France and has comfortable chairs and tables inside as well as outdoor seating options. There is a coffee bar, a glass chess set and books available to read. The only thing missong to make this truly La Vie en Rose was some light background music. Today we had some breakfast tacos, hot cocoa and a chai to-go but I look forward to returning for one of my favorites...CREPES! They do not offer GF (gluten free) treats. they also do not have decaf coffee. I do wish they were open a little later because we have gone by several times at 3pm because we were nearby and been sad to see them closed. They were super busy but Mariana and Flor were hard at work making everything fresh to order. The hot cocoa was perfect, the chai was super sweet, which is great but if you are no sugar be sure to ask, because I forgot to do that. I am happy to support them so if you are missing the "other coffee shop that used to be here" do give Pan Dulce a try. Thanks Mariana and Flor. L."
