Discovering the Best Sandwich Shops Across the U.S.

When it comes to sandwiches, there’s no shortage of options across the country. From classic Reubens to hearty hoagies, the variety is as vast as the American landscape itself. While John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, might have been the original authority on the subject, his expertise is now left to history. Today, we turn to platforms like Yelp to find the best places to enjoy a great sandwich. Ahead of National Sandwich Month in August, Yelp has released its first-ever list of the “Top 100 Sandwich Shops” in the United States, based on reviews and ratings from its community of users.

This list highlights some of the most popular delis, lunch counters, and sandwich spots that consistently receive high praise from customers.

At the top of the list is Frankie’s Deli Warehouse, an unassuming sandwich shop located on the edge of a strip mall in Hialeah, Florida.
