Sandwiches Restaurants in San Francisco

San Francisco isn’t just about sourdough and seafood. You’d be surprised how serious folks here take their sandwiches. From the classic Italian sub at Molinari in North Beach to the fresh, tangy Vietnamese banh mi from Saigon Sandwich in the Tenderloin, each neighborhood has its own take.

If you’re near the Mission, don’t miss Tartine Manufactory’s open-faced sandwiches,they’ve got a way with seasonal ingredients that’ll make you rethink what a sandwich can be. And if you're wandering around the Marina on a sunny afternoon, grab a roast beef from a place like Ike’s Love & Sandwiches, where the combination of outlandish sauces and quality ingredients keeps me coming back. Heads up: some spots like Ike’s serve sandwiches piled so high it’s a challenge to eat,bring napkins.

A quick tip? If you want a no-fail spot with a local vibe, Godmother in SoMa offers deep, hearty Italian-American subs that have been a favorite for years. And you can’t beat a sandwich from a taqueria,many here throw carne asada and fresh veggies on hearty bolillo rolls instead of tortillas, and it’s something you won’t find just anywhere. Trust me, come hungry and bring your appetite,San Francisco’s sandwich scene has stories to tell in every bite.
