Sandwiches by the Sea

You have heard of the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld - this is the Sandiwich Nazi of Delray Beach!! I went into the store before noon and it was relatively quiet. I complimented the (presumed) owner on his great number of good choices. I did not get a response. I decided to order a Cuban sub and when I asked if it was soft bread I got a gruff “it’s on a sub roll pressed”. I paid for my sandwich and was told “we”ll call you when I t’s ready”. I stepped back to wait. Another lad tried to order a sandwich on a specific type of roll and was told in the same gruff attitude that it was not available that way. She ended up not ordering. He turned to me and said “Yours will take 8 minutes, we will call you when it’s ready” with a look outside. I guess I was being asked to wait outside. While waiting a number of other customers walked in and some did not order anything - I wonder why. Finally I was called back into the store and was given my sandwich. The sandwich itself was good but I prefer it on non toasted bread but I guess I could not order it that way. It was tasty and flavorful. The meat was a bit tough and chewy.

Sandwiches by the sea has to by far be the best sandwich shops I have been to. The shop is run by individuals from New Jersey who have a local distributor for their bread and it feels like I am back home every time I step in. The customer service is amazing and always such good vibes, and the sandwiches are huge and so so fresh. There are so many options to choose from and it is so quick to be in and out of there. It is at a perfect spot by the beach, great environment and all around best people. Whenever my family comes to visit it is mandatory that we get lunch or dinner from there eat least once!

We’ve been going here for over 20 years and loved it. Loved, past tense. The old owner was a super friendly guy, and the sandwiches were awesome. He sold it to basically his complete opposite, personality-wise. Unfriendly, borderline rude, I don’t even want to go here anymore. It to mention, the sandwiches are now $18. We’ve gone 3 times in the hopes that it was just a one time thing or a “having a bad day” experience. Nope. Same experience 3 times. See ya. Life’s too short. Hopefully, the owner is reading this and gets it together.

Delicious! We stopped in while on a family vacation and ended up coming back throughout our stay because the sandwiches are so delicious. We have a picky three-year-old that only wanted grilled cheeses at the time and they were able to accommodate our off-menu request! Great location too!

Incredibly rude owner serving even worse bagels. Soft, inedible mush. Save yourself the trouble and go anywhere else.

Came here on vacation and it was really good! Food was made quick and customer service from Ashley was amazing, she was super nice and helped me pick out a sandwich to my liking and she did great!! Will definitely be back before I go back home!

Best chicken cutlet sandwich ever. From the cutlet to the bread it was excellent. A must stop for breakfast, lunch or dinner. 💯😋
