Mr. Sandwich

Mr. Sandwich is a fantastic find in Irvine! Their sandwiches are fresh, flavorful, and loaded with quality ingredients. The bread is soft, and they don’t skimp on portions—every bite is satisfying! The service is fast and friendly, making the whole experience even better. They have plenty of great options to choose from, so there’s something for everyone. Plus, parking is very easy, which is always a huge plus in this area. Definitely a spot worth checking out—I’ll be back for sure! 🥪🔥

Sandwich was great, but you’ve got to try there Fosselman’s Ice Cream! The owner driver 2 hours away just to go get it! 🍨

Excellent quality sandwich. Super friendly staff. I tried to stop by whenever I could…

Italian cold cut was absolutely phenomenal on sourdough!

Never tried this place but wanted to give it a try. Ordered a chicken salad sandwich Chicken DRY and HARD almost rock hard Wet ingredients to make the chicken salad - mayo or sauce was bland and watered down. TOO MANY APPLES which made the proportions overly sweet. AVOCADO it was more like spread. No actual avocado slices. Hey we all believe in cost cutting but this was ridiculous.

The best sandwich, every bite is delicious. Perfectly made. I would like to go again try more on the menu...

Super nice atmosphere and great customer service and they have a specials all the time the sandwiches are really good quality and super tasty and the owner Kelly is super nice I suggest anyone who wants a really good sandwich come here

company order of a Veggie Avocado & Mushroom sandwich. Got delivered with only cheese, avocado and mushrooms, but no veggies at all.... Terrible ordering system, and just boring bread.

The BEST egg salad sandwich I've ever had!!! Armando was beyond helpful explaining their menu. He is a 5 star employee and I really enjoyed talking to him. I'm visiting from AZ and will definitely be back.

ICE CREAM alert and Update: This place remains to be my favorite sandwich shop in the area. Good solid sandwiches with fresh ingredients. I had seen some new faces there but the new owner is usually there. It's not a surprise how hard it is to keep workers these days. Which I'm guessing probably contributed to some of the more negative reviews. Price has gone up a little but it's still very reasonable. I'm actually surprised they waited this long to increase. $14.99 lunch special remains to be an amazing deal. What really compelled me to do an update is... they started serving ice cream!!! Heard they are FOSSELMAN'S ice cream!! If you're from LA area then you know. I've tried coffee and cookie and mocha almond fudge. Soooo good!

This is an update I didn't really want to make, but I feel like I have to. As you can see from my previous reviews, I've been a loyal customer of Mr. Sandwich for years. I was always so impressed by the customer service, the food quality, the accuracy, and how quickly everything was made. Unfortunately, I've returned here several times in the past few months and things just aren't the same under the new ownership. Every single time I've ordered ahead, the order has been wrong. The person taking my order will even confirm what I want, so I don't think it's their fault at all. Sometimes, I'll pay extra for avocado or cheese and it will be missing. Sometimes, I'll get a completely different sandwich. One time, an entire sandwich was missing. When I pointed this out, I was told the sandwich would be made ASAP, but I waited for 30 minutes. I've been trying to give the new owners the benefit of the doubt, but I also want to be honest, especially with all the glowing reviews I've previously given. I understand that everything is expensive these days, but if the price is increasing, the quantity is decreasing, and my orders are consistently inaccurate, it's hard for me to justify purchasing regularly here. Hoping this is just a hiccup and things improve. I'll update my review if so.

My first impression was, "Simple, quick and easy for lunch when you're short on time," I haven't posted a review on Yelp for a while but had to offset some of the negative recent reviews. Reviews truly make a difference for small businesses and this one's a local mom and pop shop. I randomly stopped by but was surprised by the size of the sandwich (it's a double sandwich) for the daily lunch special. I had the turkey provolone on squaw and it came with a drink and choice of chips for $14.99. The service was friendly and quick . Menu is straightforward and they had a variety of pastries and dessert to go. The lasting impression? "Not looking for a fancy sandwich but a great local stop for a quick and easy lunch that's light with no frills! Happy to support local, small businesses."

I don't understand the reviews but maybe I'm expecting something different?! This is an absolutely no frills, nothing special sandwich shop. Nothing tastes bad... but if you're looking for a delicious sandwich, any type of special topping or creativity, this is not the spot. I got a blt on sour dough and that is pretty much what I got... two pieces of UNTOASTED sour dough (doesn't taste like sour dough tho...), lettuce, tomato, bacon. No sauce of any kind (ie mayo, etc). And it cost me $9!!! I honestly feel like I could've made this at home and it would've looked and tasted better. Not coming again....

I was excited to give Mr Sandwich a try based on the rave reviews, and while I may have come in with too high of expectations, I still really did enjoy my sandwich and especially appreciated the friendly service. Mr Sandwich has a variety of hot and cold sandwiches so I opted for a "Turkey Avocado and Swiss Cheese" on sourdough bread ($12.69). If you're looking for a specialty sandwich shop, this may not be up your alley, but if you're in the mood for a tasty but simple, homemade sandwich, then look no further. While I wish there was a bit more meat than the two slices of turkey I received, I thought the sandwich was delicious, very fresh and I loved how soft the bread was. The price was a bit on the higher end for me as I was still hungry after I finished my sandwich, but I definitely enjoyed every bite of it! Service was also wonderful and I appreciated that "mom and pop" feel and love supporting local businesses. Mr Sandwich is in a small strip mall with a few other restaurants as well so parking was a bit tough but I was able to find a spot after a few circle-ings of the lot.

We ordered 10 different sandwiches from Mr. Sandwich for our office meeting today through an online delivery service. I got the tuna avocado with sprouts on squaw bread and it was great. They did a good job on the tuna salad and it wasn't drowned in mayo like most sandwich shops. The sandwich was huge. Half of their sandwich equals to almost a whole sandwich somewhere else. And the sprouts was super fresh. 5-star. One of the sandwiches was supposed to be meatballs with mushrooms. However, there were no mushrooms on the sandwich, just the meatballs. I called Mr. Sandwich directly to let them know. Told them I would take just the mushrooms to add to the sandwich but the owner told me they would make a fresh one for me. She was really nice about it. Came by at 1:00 pm to pick it up and the person that makes the sandwiches was very apologetic. He made a fresh one while I waited. Super kind. He also put plenty of mushrooms on the sandwich. I requested to keep the sauce on the side so the sandwich wouldn't be soggy and he did exactly as requested. Mushrooms were a bit salty but overall delicious. The only complaint I heard was the italian sausage sandwich had very little sausage. I believe they cut one sausage to 4 quarters. Since the bread was huge, not enough meat. Everyone else enjoyed their order. Highly recommend Mr. Sandwich. Prices a bit higher than most sandwich places but very good quality. And they do not skimp on protein. Their small chocolate chips cookies are also very fresh. I love cc cookies but very picky and won't eat them if they are a day old. Yes, I can tell. :) Love them here.

Love this place! The gentleman that works in the am setting everything up knows my order when I pull up to park and starts it right away. I'm a creature of habit and their avocado toast with egg and everything seasoning is awesome.

Located in a plaza with plenty of free parking. I came by to grab a triple chocolate chunk cookie and it was amazingly good. The cookie was somehow buttery but not cakey, with great texture. I was surprised since their main product appears to be sandwiches, but wow would definitely come back for another (and to try their sandwiches, in the hopes that it is as good as their cookies).

So, when I ordered a full sandwich, I wasn't expecting to basically have 2 whole sandwiches. Please reference the attached photos, one with my HAND to show you how huge my tuna, avocado and sprouts sandwich was!! It left me STUFFED! I got it on sourdough bread and I wish it tasted more sour. Tasted more like white bread. The tuna was pretty good but I also wish the sandwich had more avocado. Next time I'll try it on squaw bread- that seems to be the most popular bread choice!

I ordered the breakfast platter for delivery and in the description it says it has bacon. When I received the platter there was no bacon. Very disappointing to see it wasn't included. The egg tasted good but was disappointed there was an item missing.

Very good sandwich and bigger than I thought it was going to be very filling the egg salad sandwich was ginormous l!! Very filling and delicious

I've been coming here for roughly 20 years. They have the best freshest sandwiches and the service is amazing! The food portion is generous size as well, highly recommend!

I've been coming to this location for years even when the previous owner owned it. I changed job locations and could not come back for a while but have recently started stopping by during my new commute. Maybe it's because I'm a loyal previous customer but I find the quality and the service is still top-notch! Yes the prices have gone up a bit but where else have they not? You still get huge portions for your money and I think it's a special touch when Kelly the owner throws in a little something extra. Her and Armando take great pride in their work and this is still my favorite lunch place after all these years. If you're looking for gimmicks and Glitz this is not the place for you, it's not an influencer joint, it's a place where hard-working people of all status come to enjoy a delicious, fresh ingredient, well made sandwich. I'm so happy this place is still here!

The food is delicious! The ingredients taste super fresh which is needed for a perfect sandwich. The proportions are great for the price. The half would definitely be more than enough with how much they stuff it haha. It was my first time there and the cashier helped me so much on what I should try! There's a good amount of space if you want to eat inside or outside. Very clean.

best variety of sandwiches! great customer service! definitely recommend. Armando is a great sandwich artist!

Disappointing and missing items. I've only been coming here a little less than a year and although it was a struggle to communicate with the previous owner my order was always accurate and my sandwich was always stuffed. Not sure what's happened these past few months but the quality and service have plummeted. In order to add avocado or sprouts it's extra, which is fine no issue with that, but I have an issue with it when I pay for it and it's missing. This is not the first time either and whenever I take it back to have it added they cannot just take my word for it and have to search up the receipt first. I've tried letting it go multiple times, especially because the short white lady in the front ends up throwing in a bag of chips or a brownie for the inconvenience. But it's not happened for the fourth time and I honestly didn't even take it back at this point im just taking the loss, writing this review, and never coming back. If you want your food done right every time just go somewhere else. Or wait until there's new people making the food.

The world's best sandwiches! Everything is so fresh, and you have several choices for sandwiches. The best thing is you can get a sandwich on their wonderful squaw bread - a sweet, dark bread. The service is very courteous, too. There are only a few tables inside, as most people take their sandwiches to go. I hope this place lasts for many more years, they are great!

Great price and great quality sandwich. The bread is perfectly soft and the ingredients are fresh and tasty. Half sandwich is super filling

Service was great! Sandwich was good, but nothing over the top. I had a turkey sandwich that did not come with cheese (I thought that was strange). I would go again to try a different sandwich!

Delicious sandwiches. I was recommended to go there and was not disappointed. The sandwiches are massive and could feed two people. I had roast beef and turkey on squaw bread. Definitely going back.

Ordered a turkey sandwich with lettuce on a French roll as an afternoon snack from Mr Sandwich. Didn't want any mayonnaise or tomatoes - just turkey and lettuce. The sandwich was filled with lots of freshly sliced turkey and shredded lettuce. The French roll was soft on the inside and slightly crispy on the outside. The counter staff was very friendly and the sandwich shop was clean. Mr Sandwich is located in a strip mall near several fast-food drive-thru restaurants - so an empty parking space can be hard to find during the busy lunchtime hour. However, many parking spaces open up quickly because people buy their food and get on with the rest of their day. Parking was free and the food was excellent!

New owners and quality has gone down while prices have gone up. We've tried it twice and there is less meat and avocado and more lettuce and bread. As always, the place is clean and employees are nice.

Never tried this place but wanted to give it a try. Ordered a chicken salad sandwich Chicken DRY and HARD almost rock hard Wet ingredients to make the chicken salad - mayo or sauce was bland and watered down. TOO MANY APPLES which made the proportions overly sweet. AVOCADO it was more like spread. No actual avocado slices. Hey we all believe in cost cutting but this was ridiculous.

I personally wasn't the biggest fan. Overall big sandwich but my bread was stale and broke as I was trying to eat the sandwich. Also, I get that it's Irvine, but I feel like their prices are pretty overpriced for a half sandwich. I really wanted to love it because it's literally a two minute walk from my office. But, overall I wasn't very impressed. I probably will noteat again unfortunately. If the bride wasn't stale, I would probably give it another shot, even though it was pricey.

Ordered tuna sandwich with bacon and there was NO tuna... it was just a plain BLT. For the price i expected more...The bread was very plain. Nothing special. Won't return

We order delivery from here weekly, and have never been disappointed! Their half sandwiches are huge; plenty for dinner. The bread is always soft and fresh, and their ingredients are excellent. The tuna and egg salads are our favorites...nothing fancy, but just like homemade and really good. This place is great!

I have been getting lunch from Mr. Sandwich for over a year now and I have not been disappointed with the sandwich they serve. Definitely not walking away hungry. Great portion and the staff has been very accommodating and friendly with making the sandwich the way you want it. Next time you are out looking to get a sandwich try this place. Small mom and pop shop is really better than the chain stores.

Such a good size of fresh delicious sandwich making you full and happy. Preparation is so fast and price is so fair, especially for this good size. We are here for a swim meet from New York City and got the sandwiches 3 days in a row. This says something- right? Great for swimmers who need healthy nutritious good lunch in between prelims and finals. We liked * chicken sandwich with avocado * chicken sandwich with avocado and cucumber * chicken sandwich with sprouts and cucumber * tuna sandwich with sprouts and cucumber I liked white bread but my daughter liked both toasted and not tasted. Worth trying!

The tuna sandwich with Rye bread is so good, I only got a small which half but they're so generous with the protein that it's good enough. I ordered through yelp and my order was ready within 10 minutes. Great!!

Amazing sandwich & great staff 10/10 please go support them the food is top quality!!!!!!

Cute sandwich shop with solid food and hefty portions. Came here to grab a quick lunch~ Parking can be a little tricky since it's in a small plaza with bunch of other restaurants. The shop itself is small so we to go the food. Mr sandwich has many varieties including cold cuts and hot meat. I got the ham and Swiss on squaw bread (comes with tomato, lettuce, pickles) ($12.50). They also offer half sized sandwich which I should have got because I could only eat half of it. The portion is generous~ they don't skimp out on the meat and put a good amount of veggies~ Very simple sandwich with solid taste. Overall great place for a quick and filling lunch. Would love to try their pastrami my next visit.

The sandwiches are fantastic at a fair price. The staff are very friendly and the cookies are great. Definitely give this place a try if you are craving a nice fat sandwich!

The best spot for lunch! I love the egg salad sandwich there. The service is always great and the food is always a hit!

Such a great sandwich spot, love everything I have gotten here and can't wait to come back

I recently tried this place and was very impressed with their sandwiches. The ones Ive had were very tasty, the ingredients seemed very fresh, and the portions were generous. I felt the price was also very reasonable given the amount of food you get. This is my go to place for sandwiches now in the Irvine area!

I have been there before and I got pretty much good meat everything. There is good service and when I am coming from somewhere far and I am Hungary this might be my new place to go. (:

The best ma & pa deli in Irvine. Prices a reasonable and the quality is good. The service is quick once you put your order in. The ladies are super nice, so this has now become my goto sandwich shop!

I am so happy that I finally found a great place that sells a delicious egg salad sandwich. It wasn't tiny. It was huge enough to split with someone else. They were so sweet and helpful. I also I'm excited to find a place like this and I can't wait to return and try all the other items but for sure my go to is this egg salad sandwich

I just want to say... best sandwich I ever had. The menu has a great variety of sandwiches, chips, and more. The service is amazing although the wait time is a little long I would come here anytime.

Our office has been coming here for years and the service/quality of food has always been amazing. Just recently they are now under new ownership and quality of food has gone down hill significantly. What used to be a big sandwhich filled with plenty of meat and toppings has now dwindled down to two slices of meat.. if you're lucky. Our order has been wrong the past three times and We tried explaining this to the owner as we wanted to continue coming here but they didn't care and just shrugged us off. This is a bummer because we used to love this place but now sadly we will not be coming back.

This place is great. The customer service was so friendly. The sandwich I got was perfectly made. The ingredients were so fresh, no brown avocado or lettuce. It has a cozy inside or a nice outdoor seating. Definitely would recommend if you are in the area looking for sandwiches.

First timer here, Wasn't sure what sandwich I wanted to order, But I end up getting a Pastrami sandwich. I must say, Good size portion of meat and toppings. Went with the french roll and it was alright. Service was great aswell!

Great sandwiches and great service! Tuna is so yummy and the turkey with avo is great. Love the squaw (dark) bread- always soft and fresh! Awesome place to grab lunch!

The service and food are amazing! We love coming here and having their variety of sandwiches. Everyone I have brought to this location has fallen in love and always suggests this spot when we're meeting up. Also, the owners are the sweetest! 10/10 recommend.

My coworker has been raving about Mr. Sandwich for a while so I decided to take a break from Board and Brew and order pickup here. I did a phone order and the woman who took my order was really sweet. The order was ready in 10 minutes for pickup! My boyfriend was the one who went and got it for me so I'm not sure how it is on the inside, but as long as the sandwich is good I don't care. Needless to say, the sandwich was delicious! I got the chicken salad on squaw add sprouts. All of their sandwiches come with mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickles. They will ask you if all of those things are okay so you have a choice to omit any ingredients! The chicken salad was so delish! I had no complaints whatsoever. The veggies were crisp, bread was soft, and chicken salad was super tasty. I'm always eager to support small, local businesses so I'm ecstatic that Mr. Sandwich can be added to my list of go-to's! I'm excited to try their turkey BLT and pastrami. I've heard really great things about both. The price, service, and taste can't be beat in Irvine. Come try it out if you can!

Delicious and fresh food ! First time customer. A mom and pop shop with really great positive energy. Will be back.

Crap, plain old crap... I don't know where these others reviews come from other than paid people to supply them. Jersey Mikes makes a better sandwich- freaking crap...

Fast and great quality food friendly service very clean shop good parking in the area Highly recommend if you want a sandwich this is where you go!
