Subway, a global giant with over 37,000 locations, has long been a popular choice for a quick and easy sandwich. But for this former Subway devotee, there are now eight tastier alternatives that deserve your attention.
Schlotzsky’s: Founded in 1971, this chain, with over 300 US locations, started with just one sandwich, “The Original,” featuring mixed meats, cheeses, black olives, and a toasted bun. Their Smoked Turkey Breast, served on signature sourdough in three sizes, is a simple sandwich done right.
Which Wich Superior Sandwiches: With over 431 locations, Which Wich offers a customizable sandwich experience with over 50 toppings. Beyond their Wicked signature sandwich, they offer diverse menu options including seafood, vegetarian, and breakfast sandwiches. Their commitment to community is evident in their “Spread the Love” program, donating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to those in need.
Lenny’s Grill & Subs: This chain, boasting over 100 locations, specializes in Philadelphia-style deli sandwiches and cheesesteaks. Lenny’s prides itself on freshly baked bread and high-quality ingredients. Their Deluxe Club, piled high with turkey, bacon, roast beef, provolone, and your choice of toppings, is a standout.
Jimmy John’s: From a hot dog stand dream to a sandwich empire, Jimmy John’s has grown to over 2,700 locations since its founding in 1983. With a menu of “favorites” like the Italian Night Club, Beach Club, and Club Lulu, there’s something for everyone.
Potbelly Sandwich Shop: Founded in 1977, Potbelly offers a menu of toasted sandwiches made with fresh ingredients and perfectly baked bread. The Pizza Melt is a unique and satisfying option. Beyond delicious sandwiches, Potbelly also offers salads and sides.
Capriotti’s: This chain, with 112 locations in 27 states, slow-roasts whole turkeys nightly for 12 hours, hand-pulls the meat, and makes their own meatballs and coleslaw. The Capastrami, featuring hot pastrami, Swiss cheese, Russian dressing, and coleslaw, is a must-try.
Sal, Kris & Charlie’s Deli: This Astoria, New York, deli has been a family-owned favorite for over 80 years. Known for their massive, shareable sandwiches, their signature “Bomb” weighs in at two pounds and is packed with a variety of meats, cheeses, and toppings.
Panera Bread: With over 2,000 locations, Panera Bread offers a bakery-café experience with a wide selection of sandwiches, salads, soups, and pastries. They also demonstrate a commitment to community by donating unsold bread and baked goods to those in need. The Chicken Bacon Rancher and Toasted Garden Caprese are just a couple of their popular sandwich options.
While Subway may have once reigned supreme, these eight alternatives offer a fresh perspective on the sandwich experience, with diverse flavors, quality ingredients, and a commitment to community.
