The store’s namesake, Ted Londi, opened a new restaurant in Peabody after our Boston.com readers’ form ran, but nine fans of the Londi’s name showed up to give the North Andover shop a shout out. They specifically love the buttered rolls and the three-way sandwich. Boneless, skinless chicken breast grilled to perfection, then topped marinara sauce & sauteed bell peppers and onions. Wide Eyes Open Palms has outstanding breakfast options, including a biscuit sandwich with lots of egg and love tucked right inside with eggs, arugula, and plenty of chives. This Torrance deli does it all with subs, breakfast burritos, and something called the wakey-wakey. It’s the messiest and most delicious creation with a runny egg breakfast sandwich on deeply griddled toast.

Tessi’s is no different, with its extensive menu of pizza, subs, seafood dinners, and of course roast beef sandwiches. But why it stands out among roast beef devotees is the beef piled high and drenched in condiments. Iceberg and romaine lettuces, red cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, croutons, black olives, mozzarella cheese and a freshly grilled boneless chicken breast. Choice of dressing (served on the side) Serves one as an entree salad, or two to three as an accompaniment to a meal. Though the new Johnny’s has added a few Jewish deli-inspired items and dropped the second half of the name, the juicy, flavorful pastrami sandwiches are still the main focus here. While you can continue to get the French dip-style version that uses thinly cut pastrami, the move here is the thick-cut pastrami served on Tartine marble rye, which can be further jazzed up with reuben toppings, mustard or coleslaw.

The bread is baked in-house, and the fillings hit that cliche California sweet spot of farmers' market ingredients and well-sourced meats. The tuna conserva is our old faithful because of how the roasted peppers, sprouts, salty tapenade, and cucumbers ooze into the sourdough and top-shelf tuna. But we also work the banh mi, tomato confit, and meatball sandwiches into the rotation. The originators of the French dip, this is of course, the house specialty. The tender, USDA prime roast beef is sliced by one of the “carvers” working there and served on a French roll, dipped in the natural gravy of the roasts.

Since the top half of the bread is thinner, the carver uses the tip of their knives to dip it into the jus (using their fingers would certainly result in burns, Binder says). The sandwich is served on 100% paper plates, which Binder says have a nostalgic feel. He adds that "all the customers realize that it's going to be messy" to eat a dipped sandwich.

That’s exactly what we get every time we ask readers for their roast beef sandwich recommendations. Thinly sliced roast beef made right here on the premises, mustard, mayo and pickles. Everything you love about our famous lasagna, breaded and deep fried. To say this tuna is life-changing may be an overstatement, but try it first and then you’ll see what all the rave is about. The sandwich has big chunks of tuna, moist (even without mayo), mixed with cucumber, tomato and red onion all on warm ciabatta. The bright yellow exterior plus picnic umbrellas makes this otherwise somewhat missable cafe stand out (that and this tuna sandwich, of course).

In Southern California, global influences and plant-based options abound. Here are some of the Southland’s best breakfast sandwiches sorted from North to South. Jeff’s Table isn’t the first deli hidden behind a liquor store in Highland Park—they’re not even the first one to occupy the space they’re in. But hidden or not, this is one of our favorite places to get a sandwich in the neighborhood. Order a side of the spicy, creamy Thai peanut mac salad to balance everything all out. OK, we may have made that one up, but in a city filled with as many sammy options as Los Angeles, it’s the motto we live by.

Lady & Larder is the type of spot you might see on a lifestyle blogger's curated Instagram feed. This pink Santa Monica shop caters to all of your wine, flower, and artisanal cheese needs, but its secret sandwich menu makes it a top priority for your lunch rotation. From 12-3pm, you’ll find sandwiches that sound like a high-end charcuterie board stuffed into a chewy baguette. You can’t go wrong with the Day Dreamer slathered with fromage blanc and thinly sliced turkey, or the Yes, Honey with sweet ham, mustard pickle relish, and a heaping pile of shredded cheddar. Chef Eric Park’s bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich is a standout at this busy Silver Lake shop. But the chopped cheese is a SoCal version of an NYC classic on a pressed hero roll with chopped beef, American cheese, grilled onions and jalapeños, shredded lettuce, tomato, ketchup, and mayo.
Sandwiches here are uncomplicated and straightforward, with high-quality ingredients as king. Our go-to order is the #5, a baguette topped with imported prosciutto, mozzarella, and arugula, but the off-menu El Conquistador is also a great option. It’s filled with chorizo, prosciutto, Manchego, and a few pickled peppers—the perfect addition to any picnic, or meal to celebrate your breakup with Netflix. This upscale Italian sandwich counter in Beverly Hills makes massive, luxurious sandwiches that are the epitome of decadent. That sounds a bit dramatic, but it’ll make sense when you see these fluffy slabs of focaccia lined with prosciutto parma, truffle cream, olive paté, and white onion agrodolce.
The sandwich is so tall, you may not be able to fit it all in one bite. But each messy bite you get, will make it worth the $29 sticker price. There were 34 readers who said Nick’s, which has been in the roast beef sandwich-making business since 1975 stands out above the rest. Readers rave about the tender beef and the perfect balance when it comes to a classic three-way — with cheese, James River BBQ sauce, and mayonnaise. Making roast beef sandwiches runs in the family at Bella’s, where owner Harry Kanellos told Boston.com he grew up working in his dad’s roast beef shop in South Boston. Now, his restaurant is a favorite on the North Shore, highly ranked by the Facebook group North Shore Beefs, and was worthy of a shoutout from 10 readers.
Sandwiches come on loaves of Bub & Grandma’s and are named after NPR hosts like the Terry Gross, which is filled with roast turkey, green chili aioli, a jalapeño/radish slaw, and pepper jack cheese. We’re also big fans of the Steve Julian, which is Wax Paper’s version of a bánh mì. With its shredded pork, crunchy cucumbers, and miso aioli, this sandwich is a little spicy and completely fun. There’s nothing quite like biting into a breakfast sandwich from the Yeastie Boys first thing in the morning. The choices are vast but the Game Over with soft scrambled eggs, peppered bacon, and beer cheese and jalapeno spread on a cheddar bagel sets the perfect tone for the day. You can order a decent version of these Puebla-style tortas at your neighborhood taco truck, but you’d miss out on the perfectly constructed, absolutely gargantuan creations at this Van Nuys lunch staple.
We love their kuku sabzi, an herb-based frittata, or the juicy beef koobideh on thin, chewy sangak bread. Also, come any day of the week and experience a front patio that turns into the social heart of the neighborhood each afternoon. We always hope that reboots are as good as the one the people behind Mizlala pulled off at this historic walk-up window in West Adams. Johnny's Pastrami combines everything you want in an old-school deli stand (a fast food-style menu, exceptional pastrami, life-affirming matzo ball soup) with nice touches like serving their sandwiches on Tartine marble rye. We particularly love the French Dip pastrami, which is about as thick as a football and perfect to split.
Some staples — all on the North Shore, no surprise — received several votes, so we featured them at the top of our guide. For some, what makes or breaks a roast beef shop’s sandwiches are the amount of sauce and other toppings they dress it with. There are some diners who are roast beef purists, preferring the old guards, while others say to hell with nostalgia when opting for the newer additions. As a final touch, many customers will add a bit of the Philippe's signature house-made French mustard, which Binder describes as "incredibly hot." The mustard is based on Mathieu's family recipe, and has remained unaltered over the years. While the ingredients are a closely held secret, Binder confirms that despite the fact that many suppose there's horseradish in the mustard, there's none.
Cheddar cheese, bacon, and spicy may set off the Bangin’ breakfast sandwich at Hilltop, now with four locations in Inglewood, Eagle Rock, Downtown, and the original in View Park/Windsor Hills. This daytime West Adams spot puts applewood smoked bacon, folded egg, avocado, American cheese, and a secret sauce between toasted brioche. The breakfast sandwich is served on an English muffin with truffle cheese, hashbrowns, an Impossible sausage patty, cheese, avocado, and Just Egg replacement.
