The Best Sandwich Place

With such a bold claim as a name, there is a certain right to hold at least a little bit of skepticism. However, these were some of the best sandwiches I've had in DC. Great location, fresh ingredients, quick service. No complaints here. Try the Pastrami Bacon Sub, I highly recommend it!

Fantastic food as always. This has been my go to lunch spot every time I come to work at DC. The rib-eye steak melt is delicious. The have some indoor seats and a couple tables right out the door, but I usually take the food back to my office to eat, cause it gets pretty crowded during lunch time (after 11:30ish usually). They also have salad and breakfast options but I’ve never had it before.

Experience was 0. I order a meatball sub we sat inside the place to eat once I received my sandwich the bread was soggy like it had be sitting for hours only 2 smashed meatballs and cheap cheese. The meatball sub was disappointed and disgusting. I asked to have the sandwich remade or a different sandwich the owner a woman that was rude said no because I can’t sale it. I didn’t eat the sandwich I give it back it was trash and disgusting I left the sandwich on the counter. Her customer service skill are disrespectful and disgusting just like the sandwich. Say away !!!

It was worth the 25 min walk to get here for lunch. I ordered the pastrami melt and my son ordered the ribeye melt. Both were yummy 😋 order was made fresh and quick. Everyone was friendly and polite. Highly recommend this restaurant!

Leaving another review because the first time I had this place it was not good - ordered delivery. 0 stars. But I gave them another try and grabbed a wrap to-go for lunch and it was very good. Suggest getting your food here instead of ordering delivery, as the quality seems to be much better that way. The buffalo chicken caesar wrap was huge and very delicious

Good! Nice sandwiches and wraps. Breakfast is pretty mixed, but a nice spot for lunch if you’re willing to wait. Would recommend going off-hours, since the line can be quite long from 12-130ish.

Great lunch place. Delicious. Quality ingredients. Great staff. The owners are wonderful. Get the chipotle chicken melt or the buffalo chicken Caesar wrap.

I found this place through TikTok and ordered the popular Caesar salad wrap and it did not disappoint. I really enjoyed the wrap and the service was fast. They had many types of sandwiches, wraps, rice bowls, etc to choose from.

Wow, the sandwiches were really good! The staff were friendly and welcoming. We're from out of town and wanted a light lunch, and these sandwiches were perfect. We got to enjoy them outside, with a beautiful park and surrounding buildings right across from us. We ordered the Pastrami Melt, the Pastrami & Corned Beef Melt, and one more (can't remember, but it was good too!). The pastrami sandwiches were delicious. The place can get pretty crowded, but the line moves quickly. Most people order takeout, though they do offer some seating both inside and outside.

Finally made it to this spot where I've heard mixed reviews on TikTok, mostly good ones! Not a big spot, so if you go during a rush, expect it to be a long line out the door.... It's very confusing which area you order the hot and cold items unless you been before because I didn't see any signs. Yes. I stood in the wrong line that was long and didn't know til I got up to the counter and told them what I wanted. reason I gave it 3 stars because the server lady that fixed my food was very rude towards me. Why? only because I noticed she was scrapping the bottom of the bowl where they store the lettuce, so she can make my wrap. I asked politely can I get the fresh bowl of lettuce please. She proceeds to look and roll her eyed and spoke in Spanish to her coworkers and they all looked at me and started laughing. I ordered the viral Ceaser salad wrap with a side of buffalo sauce ;) I must say it was delicious and fulfilling. I couldn't eat the other half in one setting. My meal came up to 15.99. w/ chips and canned soda It is on the pricey side lol, but I would go back to try the Chipotle Chicken Sandwich .

Hey friends! As everyone else says. This place lives up to the name! It really was the best sandwich! I ordered the Italian Cheesesteak with a bag of chips($16). First of all, I really do appreciate finding a quality meal under $20 in DC! The sandwich was amazing! The bread was perfectly toasted and all the flavors came together beautifully. The sandwich had the right amount of sauce to not compromise the toast of the bread. Will order it again! Customer service was good. Bathroom was clean. Paid street parking is available out front. I'm often in the area for work so I will be a repeat customer. Hope you enjoy! With love, The Picky Pescatarian

Ever since I started working in D.C. this is my place to go for lunch (yes i am poor now). It's ALWAYS busy and the owners are super adorable. It's so financial district coded as the food is done quickly and you get exactly what you ask for. I've tried their salads and sandwiches which are all great. Their buffalo chicken salad is my favorite but I have yet to venture out of the caesar world. It's a very clean environment and feels like any modern cafe. A place to be with the busy people of DC.

Had a solo meal here recently, and needing a rather quick dash in and out this fast-casual style spot fir the bill perfectly. Longish line to order, but it moved fairly rapidly and efficiently. I ordered one of their more popular choices, the crispy chicken melt. As the weather was decent, I sat at one of the small streetside / outside tables to enjoy the hot sammie. It came served on a crispy sourdough roll filled with a baked chicken breast, topped with garlic sun-dried tomato pesto and melted provolone cheese. It was hearty and filling and did the trick. Would love to try other sandwich varieties on my next visit.

When your name is "The Best Sandwich Place" you have to have your A game. To that point they did not disappoint. A great variety of sandwiches, subs both hot and cold and some really nice salads. Service was very quick and friendly. This is a good stop to grab a quick lunch. Eat inside or outside and even venture over to the park across the street.

Ribeye Steak Melt was fantastic. Great spot for lunch in downtown DC area. Service was friendly and extremely efficient despite being busy.

Meh. Maybe I'm spoiled by NYC Delis but this place wasn't great. Bread was not fresh. I got a turkey sandwich and would rate it a 5.5 out of 10, mostly because the bread sucked. Customer service was not great. They have crazy dividers over the counter so the workers can hardly hear your order. Won't likely go again.

I placed a large takeout order around 1pm on a Friday and it was ready for pickup within 15 minutes. I was weary of the estimated time since there were multiple individual sandwiches, but pleased to find that it was ready when we arrived 15 min later. These sandwiches may seem plain or basic, but they all have a little twist that makes them tasty. I got the smoked turkey, which seemed like a basic turkey, mayo, tomato sandwich, but had some flavor bombs mixed inside. I think it was roasted red peppers or pickles, but whatever it was completed the sandwich and elevated it from normal to fantastic. Super super solid sandwich shop

The internet definitely hyped this wrap. I'm an avid Caesar Salad guy and this was pretty subpar. Nothing amazing. Not wrapped tight. Basic Caesar salad in a wrap. I at least expected a spinach wrap. The line was long. Took about 20 minutes. They actually forgot one of the sandwiches I ordered that was listed on the paper. I won't be back.

Yes - this place does live up to its name! I've gotten 3 types of sandwiches from here before and each time didn't disappoint. Service was fairly fast as well. I have tried the chicken caesar salad wrap, the chiptole grilled chicken melt, and the crispy chicken melt and each has been delicious! I highly recommend the chiptole grilled chicken melt. The only downside is it is a bit pricey and they close early and are closed on the weekend, so if you don't work in the city, it will be hard to get.

Stopped in while visiting DC to get their famous chicken ceasar wrap. At least 3 people in line behind me did the same thing. It was tasty for sure and a lot of food but not life changing the way I would have hoped! Would come back to try other sandwiches though!

This really is The Best Sandwich Place. If you're looking for lunch in DC, you've gotta stop by. The portobello melt comes with provolone and fig jam which go together so well with the nice smoky flavor of the mushrooms. Not to mention the freshly toasted sourdough bread it's packaged in. And the banh mi was quite possibly one of the best I've ever had -- definitely not traditional but definitely delicious. The sriracha mayo adds the spice, the daikon slaw is sweet and tangy and the pork meatballs are so juicy and add so much wonderful umami flavor. With how packed it was at lunch time, it seems like everything else on the menu is just as good. It's also pretty reasonably priced for DC which was a major plus!

3.5-4 stars! Food was really tasty! Main complaints are portion size being way too small for price & they had no French fries or combo options. Other than that, food was yummy enough that I'd come back :).

Calling all vegetarians! The Best Sandwich Place's name is accurate. Their eggplant mozzarella melt is truly delicious. The staff is also extremely welcoming and the service is impeccable.

I wouldn't necessarily call it the best sandwich place. I came here for a breakfast sandwich (sausage, egg, and cheese) and was underwhelmed by the lack of flavor. The sandwich was super dry. Allegedly they make their bread in house but it did not taste fresh. I felt like I needed a sauce of some sort to flavor the sandwich. Hubs felt the same with his breakfast wrap. I had to walk back in line to request a hot sauce. I was quite disappointed as I had other breakfast spots on my list that I should have checked out instead. Pass.

I ordered a chicken Caesar wrap online after hearing amazing things. It was made and ready to pick up when I arrived, but looking around at the menu, it's definitely a go to lunch spot that I'll be back to for more sandwiches. The chicken Caesar wrap lived up to all expectations and hit the spot. It was huge, in a delicious wrap, and had a perfect ratio of ingredients. The lettuce was crunchy, the chicken was plentiful, and the dressing was just the right amount. Chicken Caesar wraps are rare in dc, so I'm so glad to have tried this one!!

Family of five visiting Washing DC in July. Found The Best Sandwich shop on yelp with many good reviews and decided to try it. It was no surprise that it was busy, but we placed our order without much wait. It kind of reminded me of the Seinfeld episode with the "Soup Nazi", you needed to know what your order was when you stepped up, no substitutions!! (not really, they were very nice, just busy). The sandwiches were delicious, and would definitely recommend this shop for lunch or light dinner.

Honestly, I was expecting to be disappointed but oh man, I was shocked by how good the sandwich was. Prices are reasonable considering the quality and the service was surprisingly good considering the way in which the ordering process happens. Restaurant is decently sized for eating in, but it's clearly meant as a takeout place. I had the crispy chicken sandwich to share with my son and it was absolutely fantastic. One of the best store bought sandwiches I've had, ever. This place will remain on my bookmark list, really awesome sandwich.

This is my go to for a Chicken Cesar Wrap add Buffalo sauce! It's quick and delicious fresh. There are soooo many options from wraps to salads to bowls. The service is great and there's seating if you're not on the go. If you come for lunch, expect it to be packed.

The buffalo chicken caesar wrap is so good! The wrap is soft, salad is fresh with just a drizzle of buffalo for a kick, and hard boiled eggs. Usually get this delivered and it travels well, wrapped and in a foil container.

My wrap was pretty good. It went super quick despise how long the line was. When I go back I'll probably get double chicken and extra sauce, but that's just me. It tasted good

I had a couple hours to kill before a flight, and was looking for some sustenance that involved both meat and bread... This place was literally the perfect spot! I have no idea where I was in Washington DC, but it was within about six blocks of the Marriott near the White House. It was a quick walk over, and being was lunchtime, there were plenty of other folks looking for food as well. Despite being an incredibly long line, they made quick work of it. The guys and gals here do a wonderful job of taking orders and getting things made in a timely manner. Sandwiches, salads and wraps are all at your disposal. I had a pastrami melt. It was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! Meat late on thick, some delicious Russian dressing, and a hard boiled egg carved into the middle. Having meat give an egg a hug inside your sandwich is one of the true simple joys of life! There was seating for about 25 people, but most people got their things to go. If you're in the area and looking for lunch, this is a perfect spot to stop, grab some thing and then eat in the park across the way. it's worth your time to check it out!

I was in town for work and say that this place had good reviews so I decided to try it out for lunch. I ordered the Shrimp mango wrap through door dash. The status of the delivery was never updated and I had to call customer service to confirm where it was and it turned out it was already delivered. The meal was delivered without utensils and napkins even though I requested them. The food itself was a big letdown. Not very good, little to no flavor and I wouldn't try it again. Esp for the price.

We placed our order over the phone and it was ready by the time we arrived! We both got the chicken Caesar wrap and it did not disappoint! Very yummy and fresh. We also got a side of their buffalo sauce which was really good - not sure if it was homemade but it definitely seemed like it! There's a nice park outside across the street with tables and benches which is a perfect spot to eat.

Ordered the rib eye melt. Good but I wouldn't claim that this is the "best" sandwich. Lines don't flow very well & gets jumbled & crowded, especially during lunch hour rush since the place isn't that big.

I stopped by here for lunch on a weekday, and the place was absolutely packed. Pretty confusing ordering system; there are multiple lines depending on whether you want melts, sandwiches, etc., but then all the lines merge into one at the cashier, so you just have to track your sandwich so they give it to the right person. Combined with the mass of customers, it wasn't a great ordering experience. I got the crispy chicken melt, and overall, it was solid. The chicken was super crispy, which was great, but the sourdough, despite being clearly toasted, lacked a great crunch which I think would have added a ton. The sauce was good too, and overall made for a enjoyable lunch. Will be back if I'm in the area!

I stopped by due to being at a conference in the area. The place was quite busy and can be a bit daunting if you don't know what ur doing. There are separate lines for salads and sandwiches so be mindful of the signs over top. You will order ur food through the separators to a person who makes the sandwich. You will then continue down the line to pay. I noticed some ppl pay after they put their order in and others pay once they get their order. Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason. The sandwich itself was good but I could have used a little more of the sauce that came with the sandwich. The chicken breast on the sandwich was melt in your mouth good!

Best chicken Caesar I've ever had. Went Monday during lunch time, line moved very fast. Good price too. Can't recommend enough

Food - 4 Service - 3 Value - 3 I wouldn't call this "the best", but the Rib Eye Melt was pretty good and we were also pretty hungry when we came here. There was a line, but it moved quickly. We did hit a little snag because they only gave us one of the two sandwiches we had ordered...so I had to re-order and wait another 5 minutes for my food.

This place is great and has great sandwiches. I tried the chicken Caesar wrap and loved it. It looks like their other sandwiches have great reviews and can't wait to come back here when I'm back in dc. When I came in, it does get slightly confusing. I ordered online and I had no idea where to go at first to check on my order. They do have some seating inside, which was nice and some silverware to go. I suggest this place if you work close to here and looking to have a nice walk outside.

This place is great! They have a huuuge selection of both sandwiches, salads, wraps, breakfast bagels, etc. I got an Italian sub because I was honestly a bit overwhelmed by the options but the other orders I heard sounded even better. The Italian sub was delicious, super flavorful, ingredients tasted fresh, loved it. I highly recommend this place!

This is a fast casual place that the Internet is raving about, and I can see why! It's hard to find a variety of quality sandwiches for under $12. This chicken Caesar wrap was amazing for a quick to go sandwich. It was pretty large and kept me full until the evening. TBSP has an extensive menu, so I'm looking forward to trying more. The sandwiches are made pretty quickly, but I imagine this spot gets busier during lunch since it is located near a number of offices. I went just before noon and was in and out in about 7 minutes. I definitely can't wait to try this place again!

Heard about this spot on tiktok and had to try. I got the chicken caesar salad wrap with crispy chicken and buffalo chicken melt. I'm not normally a wrap girl but loved this one! The wrap wasn't too thick. Definitely a grab and go spot. Service was quick

This is one of those places that if you worked nearby, it would satisfy all your lunch needs. It was a great find for us. Service is a little madcap but quick and then do a lot all at once. We got various sandwiches -- all big portioned and delish. The salads were big too and mixed. I got a Korean rice bowl with pork that was flavorful and filling. Inside isn't anything special but it's an office lunch place. And a great one at that. Just know -- you can only get them M-F because, well, it's mainly an office lunch place, right?

Even though this is a sandwich place, don't sleep on the rice bowls! The kimchi grilled shrimp bowl is amazing. Though it is spicy, the flavors blend well together and the added mango is super refreshing. Definitely recommend.

This place should be called the Okay Sandwich Place. If you go during the weekday lunch rush, you will find lines stretching out the door for people waiting to order sandwiches, salads, or rice bowls. I ordered their Louisiana grilled shrimp sub. The nice part of this place is that the bread is very fresh and not too crusty. However, the shrimp in my sandwich wasn't seasoned and just lacked flavor overall. The prices are reasonable. I may go back to try something else, but will definitely skip the shrimp.

Super delicious at this very casual made-to-order(mostly) sandwich, wrap, salad place. Great combo deal with chips and can of soda. Very reasonable and friendly. Plenty of seating. You order and self-serve.

Quality: 5/5 Price: 4/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Came on a Thursday lunch and the place was packed! However service was super quick and they knocked out orders super quick. I got the crispy sandwich melt and was pleased, but it wasn't worth $14-$15, though that price is decent for DC. Wish the sandwich had more of a wow factor, but it was a good grab and go sandwich. Would come back again!

DELICIOUS!!! This spectacular restaurant definitely lives up to its name. Walking in, I was immediately awe struck by the cute and modern vibes. I loved the overall layout! My friend and I's sandwiches were to die for! The flavors melted on my tongue. I got the thai chicken chili sandwich and he got the crispy chicken melt! The grilled chicken itself was cooked to perfection and the brioche bun was phenomenal. The service was quick and the workers were helpful! I will definitely be coming back and I simply MUST try their breakfast sandwiches and coffee! Would definitely recommend TBSP!

Great salads and sandwiches. Absolutely worth the small fee to order online for pick up to avoid standing in a long line to order at peak lunch hours.

2 out of the 3 sandwiches had to be remade because the order made was incorrectly even though they were simple ham and cheese and turkey and cheese sandwiches. So disorganized with no ordering system.

I went around lunch time on a Monday and it was really busy so I ordered for pick-up from Yelp. They were fairly fast and friendly. I got the Korean Steak melt without cheese and I thought it was just ok. A lot of spicy Mayo which made it spicier than I thought it would be. The pickled vegetables were a little too sour/ pickled too. I don't think it was worth $19.

Shrimp mango salad is decent. They put 90% salad and like 4 shrimp. We came here about 50 mins before they closed and nothing annoys me more than for someone to be mopping the floors while you have customers. I was in work heel and damn near busted my ass twice. I'm sure there's plenty of time to do that when everyone is gone not to mention a hazard! Overall it was just okay

If you need a good, overstuffed sandwich in the city, this is a great place. Meats are fresh and sandwiches are very tasty, not bland. Pickles could be better/fresher. My other "suggestion" is for hot sandwiches to wrap them in something that breathes more than foil since the cooling process makes the sandwich sweat and the bread becomes mushy.

They back up the name of the restaurant. A lot of locals waiting in line which is a good sign. Place was clean. Line moved fast and staff was very nice. I had the Italian. Bread was fresh as was the ingredients. Very good. I recommend for a lunch in DC.

Finally got a chance to try this spot. Ordered the Korean melt and chicken caesar wrap. Both were tasty, but not nearly worth $18 and $15; respectively. Thought for the prices, they would be on the larger side, but they weren't. Absurd.

I saw this place on TikTok. I tried the chicken caesar wrap and added tomatoes. It was really good. They have a lot of different options.

Came here recently with a friend on a trip! The shop was super busy, but our meals came out quickly. The line was wrapped in the store, a bit overwhelming, but a great experience overall. I ordered the ribeye steak melt and chips. I'd definitely recommend to others!
