I made a rather last minute and large (100 ppl) lunch order for delivery. Jason and his team were super professional and accommodating despite some complicated security logistics and lack of notice. Most importantly, the food was delicious, fresh, and well packed. Everyone enjoyed their lunch and we were so grateful to The Best Sandwich Place for being there for us so quickly with such a high quality lunch! Thank you!!

Best Reuben in a long time. Fast service, good selection of sandwiches & salads. Good coffee bar. Franklin Park view. Great lunch stop!

How often do you name a place so accurately? Their name says it all! If you can find a better deal in all of DC, I would like to know about it. It's really hard in DC to find a place that has good food and a good price, this place lives up to it's name... it truly is The BEST Sandwich Place

The chicken Caesar wrap is top notch. All the sandwiches are good but you should really get the Caesar wrap.

The meats are delicious and all of the flavors are there. The only problem is the bread. It’s basically store bought and falls apart. The hot Italian sandwich should have had toasted bread, and the Korean steak sandwich should have been thicker so it didn’t fall apart.

I would absolutely order the Korean bbq steak sandwich again. The flavors are fantastic.

Everything else was fantastic.

Very convenient for a quick lunch spot! The best sandwich place has a large variety of sandwiches and salads to order or customize. Service is quick and in an easy location. The chipotle chicken melt was delicious with a Sun dried tomato pesto and grilled chicken. The crispy chicken melt was similar but came with a spicy mayo. Both were great and satisfying.

Really great assortment of creative and (happily surprising) edgier and more ethnic sandwiches, subs, and salads in a very mainstream level presentation.

I tried the Louisiana Gulf Shrimp sub and it was pretty bomb. The shrimp were fine but it was the onions rings, remoulade, and hot sauce that set this off.

Also had a bit of the Korean steak melt. I've had better Kalbi beef but the Sriracha mayo, chili sauce, and generous pepper jack cheese more than made up for it. Really solid Korean steak and cheese.

Service was good, and the food came out quickly.

Definitely will try more of their selections next time I'm back.

Pro tip: get your food to go and eat at one of the benches at the beautiful Franklin park right across the street.

Such a great place! Lots of sandwich choices. Lots of salad choices. Seeing all the people line up to get their sandwiches and/or salads at lunch time just means one thing - this place serves great food.

With our order of a Rueben melt, a rib-eye steak melt, a meat ball hero, and a portobello mushroom melt, we can see why this place is so popular. Great food. Great location. Great Service.
