Bare-bones "atmosphere" but no complaints, it was clean and efficient. Outdoor seating available, also some inside tables, stools and small counter at front window. Street parking, limited parking in back. Sandwiches were so good, excellent menu, want to go back again! Beer and beverages available. Service was great, well-run operation.

My first visit to The Sandwich Shop was at 2:30 PM on Wednesday, July 19th, and my second visit was on the following Friday at 4:00 PM. I liked the industrial-style interior architecture with walls painted dark gray, almost black, and the ceiling also painted dark gray with exposed ductwork that is painted semi-gloss black. The inverted cone-shaped hanging lights added a nice touch. The sandwich production area is designed for efficiently making sandwiches, and ordering at the counter was easy. The order taker was affable. TSS comfortably seats about 45 people inside and has a small, attractive alfresco area in front.
TSS offers a wide variety of sandwiches on its menu, along with a reasonable selection of potato chips, soda, and beer to choose from. On my first visit, I ordered a Reuben Sandwich, Mama Zuma Potato Chips, and a draft Senate American Light Lager beer. Though I was dining in, the sandwich was delivered to my table in a brown bag, and the presentation was of gift-wrapped quality. All of the sandwich's ingredients were fresh and flavorful, well-proportioned. However, the rye bread used for the sandwich did not stand up to the moisture of the sauerkraut and dressing, becoming soggy. In my opinion, Jewish Rye would be a better choice of bread.
On my second visit, I ordered a Tuna Salad Sandwich consisting of Albacore Tuna, sliced tomato, leaf lettuce, and mayo on multi-grain bread, along with MZPC and SALL. Again, all the sandwich ingredients were fresh and perfectly proportioned, resulting in a delicious, well-crafted sandwich that was also gift-wrapped. The table I sat at to enjoy my food had a very worn and sticky top. Additionally, the wall that the tables are against had chipped paint in line where chair railing is needed.
BLT-A was so good, I come back just for the sandwich. Pairs very well with funky fusion flavored chips and a cherry soda.

Sandwiches are AMAZING. Very fresh ingredientes and enough filling in the bread. Highly recommended 👏🏻 we ordered the Turk+brie (so good) and the chicken parm (delicious as well)
Wow, truly a hidden gem! I’m never buying a sandwich at a chain restaurant again. The food here is so fresh, the portions are great and best of all the sandwiches taste so good! I went at lunchtime on a week day and it was bustling! The space is really small and crowded inside but the is also outdoor seating. I had the spicy chipotle chicken…they didn’t skimp on the chicken or crispy bacon…yummm
Great sandwich spot! I went when it wasn’t too busy, and they had my hot sandwich ready in about 5 minutes or so. I thought it was delicious, like a really good homemade sandwich. Will definitely be coming back!
Ordered via DoorDash, and I highly recommend! Everything was great. We got the Salami + Mozz, Smokehouse and Cheesy Bacon Tater Tots. I recommend giving this establishment a try. Affordable prices as well.
The food is excellent here, and is solely a sandwich shop - don't come if you're not in the mood for a sandwich!! The steak and cheese was superb and the chipotle chicken was pretty good. Haven't tried any cold sandwiches yet but will be sure to return. Their selection of drinks is unique which I liked, and they have high quality chip brands.

Visited late on Saturday morning after hearing about the pork and broccolini sandwich. Atmosphere was lively without being too noisy. A welcome sight was families eating with their kids, especially for a local place. Service seemed efficient and focused. I ordered two sandwiches: a BLTA (bacon, lettuce, tomato, and avocado) and a pork and broccolini with double meat. I also got a scoop of the curried chicken salad and the sweet potato puffs. My order was ready in about ten minutes and given to me by a friendly staffer.
The BLTA had a satisfying ratio of the four ingredients along with a good textured and flavored ciabatta. A little less mayonnaise for my taste would have perfected this combination, but overall I would order this sandwich again. The curried chicken salad has plenty of chicken, bright yellow color from the subtle curry flavoring, and enough accents from the raisins to bring everything together. The pork and broccolini was well-proportioned with the double meat and made eating this vegetable rather enjoyable. The pork itself had good flavor and only a touch dry for me. Cheese was just enough for me. I could have used more mustard to lend more sharpness. Like the first sandwich I would order again. The sweet potato puffs have a soft texture and a pleasant flavor. Could they be warmer though?
Good to know where this place sits a block away from Chain Bridge Road nearby a few other familiar names. As long as parking holds available, I can see making return visits for a sandwich fix.
This sandwich shop is totally amazing. Every visits makes me want to go back. Always served with a smile. Try it, you will love it.
Love this place. The sandwiches are so flavorful and delicious. The KBBQ sandwich is my go to. Don't hesitate to stop by if you're in the area! You will leave full & satisfied 😎
One of the best sandwiches you'll have in the area. It's a smaller place that stays busy so plan ahead during peak hours but the food is worth it. Even when busy the food comes out pretty quick.
The Sandwich Shop has got it down. Food, service, speed and cleanliness were perfection. Their Steak & Cheese was different, simple yet fresh and savory. You can watch a well staffed kitchen get things done fast. Very impressed. I’m coming back for the Cubano.
First visit. Nice local business with big variety of sandwiches and accessories. Friendly staff and very good food. We ordered the chicken salad sandwich, a chicken curry sandwich, and a Vitamin C bonhomey. Each very well presented, generously portioned with fresh ingredients, and quite tasty. Will certainly be back.
Back for a meatball sandwich and a Reuben. They continue to knock it out of the park!
We all got banh mi sandwiches and they were amazing! They do not skimp on the sandwich fillings! Super fast service as well. I love that they have menus available at the door so you can look at the options before getting in line. We went on a very busy Saturday afternoon and ate at the outside tables.
The steak and cheese sandwich with mushrooms is excellent! This is the best steak and cheese sandwich. I’ve had anywhere. The other sandwiches are quite good also. Services quick and you get to choose from a selection of chips and beverages. There’s a small amount of seating out front, but they are consistently busy so most of the time seating is a little bit hard to come by at peak business hours.
This is a little hidden treasure. My husbands and I found this amazing gem by goggling for a best place to eat near us (which is how we find the beat places) and as long as it is 4.5 or higher and we have not been disappointed. The service is great and your food will be ready fast. I tend to stick to what I know and like once I find it but feel free to try them all cause I pretty much have and everything is great. My fave’s though are the Korean BBQ sandwich and their version of a Bánh mì that is out of this world. I hope y’all love this place as much as we do.
Amazing local spot for lunch! Love how easy to order, simple menu, and friendly fast service! Fresh and tasty sandwiches. The bread was fantastic! I also got a side of tuna salad and it was absolutely delicious!
