-Drunken Chicken: Baguette Box
-Midnight Cuban: Paseos
-Anything Salumi
-Firecracker: Tubbs Subs
-Cheese Steak: Philadelphia Fever
-Rajun Cajun: Another Coast Cafe

Try the pastrami at eats, along with bubbies chicken with matzoh ball soup.

Terry and Angel at the Brooklyn Grinder north of 52nd on University Way NE make some of the very best sandwiches in Seattle. Their Black Forest is amazing, as are their tried and true favs: Reuben, Muffuletta, and BLT. Their chicken salad with granny smith apples and cashews is memorable, as is their grilled eggplant with basil.

In pursuit of the greatest Seattle sandwich I have tried Salumi, Paseo, and others. I had never ventured into the Brooklyn Grinder, so my son and I gave it a shot today.

Prepared with the advise above, we were prepared to follow in stride. However, because of my instinct to to ask questions, I asked the girl behind the counter what the best sandwich was. Instead of a non-answer like "It's all good", she said "My favorite is the Cajun Turkey". So I had to take one for the team.

It was pretty good! I expected it to be a bit more spicy, and would have enjoyed the heat. But, it was a very nice sandwich. They have it on their cold sandwich list, but the inside scoop was get it hot. Great advise! I felt the toasted roll added to the experience.

Thanks Lulu! We'll be back to try your recommendations as well. I hope they put a touch of curry in their chicken salad!

[sasha1]

Based on this rec, we went to this place last week. It is no longer the brooklyn grinder, although the weblink still functions. I believe its called Big Dog Bakery now. They've kept the same menu, but none of us were particularly impressed, and I wouldn't go out of my way to return. We got the hot pastrami reuben, the chicken salad sandwich, and some bean/sausage soup. There seemed to be an overabundance of bread, particularly the roll on the chicken sandwich was enormous.

Now, Paseo makes the sandwiches I would go to great lengths to reach! I haven't made it to Salumi yet.

[BradS]

What about the Old Town Alehouse in Ballard? I just went last night for about the 6th time, and I've loved every sandwich I ordered (last night was the traditional turkey, with not-so-traditional sage-whipped cream cheese). Their sandwiches are all very hearty and fresh tasting and always have some extra special touch, like the sage in the cream cheese. Fries are very thin and crisp and wonderfully seasoned (though maybe too salty for some). I'm not going to recommend any particular sandwich---try a couple and post what you think!

[Josh]

Hole-in-the-wall Roy's BBQ in Columbia City makes a mean smoked oyster po' boy as well as some other great sandwiches too.
Also anything, especially the B.R.A.T. sandwich (Bacon, Rugula, Avocado and tomato) from Essential Bakery on Madison Ave.

[SofaKing]

I second Roy's. Their Georgia Gold pulled pork sandwich is absolutely a must eat. They've won a bunch of awards for it.

I'd also like to add the Three Girls Bakery in Pike Place Market. They've been around forever and have the best meatloaf sandwich I've ever tasted. Lots of other good options as well. It's more of a build-your-own-sandwich type of place.

[jenn]

I third roys.......mmmmmmmmmm

[Baboo]

The Reuben at the 74th St. Ale House is outstanding. Not the classic, but better and an imaginative interpretation. Great craft beers to accompany.

[akq]

That Reuben is one of the best in the city, for sure! If you ever see their lamb and brie sandwich special, try it! Outstanding!

[Peter]

You've got the right restaurant, but the wrong sandwich.

The best sandwich on the planet is Paseo's grilled pork sandwich. Every single bite is a nibble of heaven. The midnight cuban can't hold a candle to it.

[not-the-bad-steve]

Chicken thigh is pretty killer.

[soypower]

Personally, I think Paseo's best sandwich is their spicy prawn sandwich...so greasy, so good...I have dreams about that sandwich...

[dp]

Add Boat Street Cafe in the Denny Triangle. Excellent sandwiches

[Matthew Weeks]

The Tatstrami at Tats Deli in Pioneer Square is the best sandwich on the planet!! Check it out, but be prepared to have all other sandwiches cease to matter.

[spudsocks]

I second this. One of those experiences where you look at the sandwich and think, there's no way I can eat this, and then proceed to devour it because you just. can't. stop.

Also: Bakeman's in Pioneer Square does an amazing day-after-Thanksgiving turkey sandwich. Get it with cranberry sauce.

[jenchu]

I THIRD this... had one the other day, after reading about it here on CHOW... it was FABs... can't wait to get clear down there again (I live 1 & 1/2 hours north) and order another ! mmmmMMMmmm...
also tried the hot pastrami at I Heart New York Deli, Pike Plc Mkt... very good pastrami... but I will be sticking with Tats from now on... the chewy hoagie roll and tangy coleslaw they tuck inside, just makes it perfect.

[mrnelso]

I bet this is the "After any day" sandwich; all fresh-roasted, all good, because they roast every day. Is there something particular on this day, or in this description?

[laurely]

I found an AWESOME sandwich place in a random neighborhood (maybe South Park, maybe Burien, maybe ???) The joint is called Cemitas Poblanas. They are located at 805 South 112th Street in Seattle. It is in the same parking lot as a Chevron gas station and a teriyaki place.

They serve amazing sandwiches from Puebla, Mexico. Fresh, yeasty rolls with huge slices of avocado, cojita cheese, grilled chicken, and a bunch of other goodies. One sandwich could easily be lunch for 2.

I also saw a lot of people eating their shrimp cocktail and tacos. Will have to give them a shot next time!

[equinoise]

On the torta front, I find both El Quetzal and Barriga Llena very satisfying. At the latter, try the house special, the Barrigona http://www.chowhound.com/topics/13114

In Columbia City, Roy's Georgia Gold has a mustard-based sauce that makes a nice accompaniement to the pulled pork.

I think there is a growing consensus that Salumi's meatball sandwich may be the best in the nation, if not the Milky Way. I think it is, FWIW.

Agree with the Midnight Cuban at Paseo. The prawn sandwich and the others are all pretty good. I have to admit that sometimes I crave the flat, tin foil-pressed pickles and multi-meat, $4 kind known as "sandwich cubano" at any Cuban deli in Miami or elsewhere, and Paseo sells something else.

I always prop up the Persian Grocery on Main Street in Bellevue for their intricately dressed and very substantial foot long Iranian sandwiches, especially the chicken kebab, the kotlet and the vegetarian kookoo sabzi. This species of sandwich has a following in LA.

Bahn Mi: Vietnam Saigon Deli (the one in the strip mall with Malay Satay Hut at 12th and Jack.-there are so many with similar names) and Pho Cyclo on Broadway.

[GreenYoshi]

Good call on the Persian Grocery kotlet.

It doesn't look like much of a place, but it's a great sandwich.
(takes a while though as each is made to order...)
A great chowhound find.

[cscsman]

I went to Bellevue looking for this but only found "Zizo's Market," which I assumed was a new incarnation of the same place. I had their Garlic Chicken sandwich - two flatbreads kinda wrapped around each other, then toasted with the most succulent chicken meat inside. It was unbelievable. I've been thinking about it non-stop for the last two weeks.

Does anyone know if the Persian Grocery is the same as the Zizo Market I ended up at? Because if not, then there are more sandwiches to find.

[GreenYoshi]

Naw, Persian market is further east on Main, next to the new Toy's Cafe location, across the street from Broiler Bay.
Again, it doesn't look like much, so it's kinda easy to miss

It's one guy just making sandwiches as he also tends the register and at times my friend has gotten a sandwich that was a little greasy, but it can be a great sandwich.

Must stop for sandwiches is Grinders on Hwy 99 in Shoreline (south of Costco), but only if you like toasty, garlicky and messy large portions. Be forewarned: with tax you'll fork out nearly 10 bucks for your sandwich, but quality has its price. My personal favorites are the Ciabatta Grinder, with a variety of Italian cured meats baked with sun-dried tomato pesto, grilled onions and mozzarella; and the Dipper, a French Dip on prednisone with roast beef, portobello mushrooms, grilled onions, horseradish sauce and Swiss cheese. A veggie-oriented friend insists on the Giardino – think ratatouille on toasted ciabatta.

http://www.grindershotsands.com

[ericlutzker]

have to second the Grinders rec. the ciabatta grinder is great but you have to also try their gilbano (it's their gloss on a cheese steak) it's amazing, and it is all very garlicky but what's wrong with that?

[mrnelso]

Maybe more for interlude of Soup Nazi in the daily grind than for notabilty of chow, Bakeman's presents a decent, if unexceptional downtown lunch. Hungry? Get a turkey (roasted in house) on whole wheat (with cranberry schmear), cup of soup (soups run from acceptable to pretty good, considering), a salad, and a slice of pie - all with change from a ten.

[ssusu]

Add to this list the hazelnut crusted chicken sandwich at Skillet (see my post about Skillet on this board).

[mrnelso]

How could I forget Pecos Pit BBQ pork sandwich? - Get some beans.

[allisonw]

Normally, for BBQ, I prefer pork, but the Pecos Beef is my favorite of the Pecos sammies.

Bring dental floss.

[mrnelso]

Prosciutto and goat cheese with fig confit : Salumi
Hot Meatball sandwich with Gorgonzola : Salumi
Pork Cheeks : Salumi
Grilled tofu: Baguette Box
Grilled Reuben : Pacific Inn pub
Grilled French onion sandwich French Onion Sandwich : Traveler
New Yorker or Tatstrami : Tat's
Grilled Halibut/Salmon sandwich: Market Grill

[unagi]

I would have to add the meatball sub at Casa D'Italia on NE 65th and 27th Ave NE in Ravenna. The meatballs are excellent and the sauce a little bit spicy. Sublime.I think it's the best meatball sandwich I've had (and yes, I've been to Salumi!)

[GreenYoshi]

I wasn't a huge fan when I had it.
The meatballs were dry and the bread seemed too tough for the sandwich.

[kirkj]

Ditto GreenYoshi - altho I think its better than Salumi.

[barleywino]

the BLT w/ avocado, peppercorn-maple-mayo and (optional) crab on toasted rosemary bread at 94 Stewart--- best (and biggest) BLT i've ever had

[the_deb]

I suggest you try the "Tatstrami" sandwich at Tat's Delicatessen East Coast Steaks and Subs on Occidental in Pioneer Square neighborhood. I maybe shouldn't mention it because they are so busy already but maybe if they get a bump in business they'll find a spot with a bigger dining room.

http://www.tatsdeli.com

[equinoise]

I just had a cheesesteak at Tat's, and it's legit. I've been to Pat's, Geno's, and Jim's in S. Philadelphia and I think it compares very well (though I suspect the illadelph peeps will probably note that these three have become tourist targets and have probably been surpassed by lesser knowns in Philly). Tat's uses the white american cheese and assembly is right. Whiz is an option.

[nonbei]

The Pate sandwich at Le Panier. The combination of crusty French bread, Pate, and slivered pickles is divine.

[soypower]

We used to own a sub shop in northgate...it's called submaster now so I can't attest to what the quality is like anymore, but we used to make a nifty hot & crispy teriyaki chicken sandwich...

Also love the grilled pannini sandwiches at Arosa Coffe in Arboretum Park. Their artichoke, tomato and gruyere is to die for, as is the black forest ham.

My favorite at Paseo, as I mentioned above, is their spicy prawn sandwich.

And weirdly, I love the turkey & havarti baguette at Fred Meyer. The butter havarti is so great w/ the crusty baguette.

[itsonlyfood]

The bbq pork sandwich at the Pecos Pit BBQ, on First, near Sodo, is excellent. It's only open Mon-Fri. for lunch. Always a line. Only tables outside, so eat in your car or take home if the weather is rough. It's my favorite sandwich.

[stolenchange]

The Mo Betta Club at Kingfish Cafe is a favourite of mine. Turkey, bacon, avocado with spicy mayo on Rye, Only at lunch time (i think) and served with their seasoned fries. So good.

Now I'm in Fremont and need to hit up Paseo. I've heard/read so many good things.

[terrier]

Hot pastrami on light rye with mustard from the "I love NY" deli stand in the pike place market.

The catfish sandwich at Matt's in the Market.

[barleywino]

ditto and ditto!

[staffstuff]

"I love NY" deli just opened a second location on Roosevelt & 52nd. THeir pastrami is very tasty... I do wish they would slice it thicker, though..in true NY style...and also use better quality rye bread (their 'zissel' rye turns to 'mush' before you're done w. the first half of the sandwich) & better quality cole slaw....THEN that sandwich would be sublime IMO (NW of the Rockies, of course)

[mr.chorizo]

What other offerings from ILNY deli would people recommend?

[not the bad Steve]

Reuben is amazing.

[bourbongal]

Agree and throw in the "honking hot albacore" at Matt's

[burritobelle]

The sammiches at Louisa's Cafe on Eastlake are pretty damn good "comfort sandwiches." It's a very "I wish my mom made sandwiches like this" kind of sandwich. The bread is homemade, and it is the cushiest, softest most home style bread I've had in Seattle. The turkey sandwich uses big chunks of turkey -- not deli style slices -- and the tuna salad is really tasty.

I also love Paseo -- for the Midnight Press -- but also the scallop sandwich. They give you a bunch of big, plump scallops and it's the same drip-down-your-arm deliciousness you expect from their sandwiches.

BOKA (downtown) makes a delicious bacon, avocado, chicken breast club -- and it comes with homemade root chips! So good!

[porkbelly]

This is worth the drive to Bellevue...Porcella Urban Market is this little European deli/bistro/grocery store. They serve the best baguette sandwiches in Seattle. I would recommend the Croque Madame - prosciutto, gruyere cheese, and fried egg on a baguette. Yummy!

Another French baguette that is phenomonal is at Le Panier in Pike's Place. The baguettes are lighter sandwiches rather than heavy meal-like ones like at Porcella. However, the bread is the bomb. Get there eary in the day to get them because they always sell out.

Pho Cyclo has great pho, but their Vietnamese sandwiches are better! The traditional one is the cold cut combo, but the steak, chicken, and tofu are just as good. Each sandwich is less than $3. Awesome!

[landguy]

I second Porcella. I wish they would open up a storefront in Seattle.

[kgreig]

I'm so bummed to report that Porcella is gooonnnneeee!!! Although Monsoon is now there in it's place. But...still. Too bad, it was a great concept.

[staffstuff]

GRinders on AUrora Ave. and 198th...worth the drive...so many great sandwiches to choose from......friendly, helpful folks who work there....nice atmosphere for bringing friends & family....

[kirkj]

...except they don't know what moderation means when it comes to garlic.

[staffstuff]

besides being a 'nobrainer' for flavoring, Garlic, I believe, is the strongest antibiotice found in nature. Good to know during cold season.

[barleywino]

When in W seattle, get the prime rib sandwich (2 sizes, w/ jus, horseradish dijon and caramelized onions) at the carving station at the Metropolitan Market (on Admiral way at 41st). if you're still hungry, you can always pick up a brown butter pear tart there for dessert.

[Erika L]

Anything from Three Girls in the Pike Place Market. They are the real deal--make their own meatloaf, pastrami, corned beef. I love their grilled Reuben on dark rye, yummmmm...

[hhlodesign]

Not 10 yards away, you will find a far superior Reuben at the I Love NY Deli. However, without fear of drawing the ire of fellow chowhounders, I must state that there is no reuben in Seattle that compares with Kenny and Zuke's in Portland. In fact, I don't think there is a reuben in Seattle worth eating, (I Love NY Deli in a pinch.) So, in review:
1. For Chinese food of any region go north to Richmond.
2. For a reuben, go south to Portland.

[jenchu]

late reply... but I ABSOLUTELY agree... Kenny n Zukes is to die for... and it kills me that I have to go clear down to Portland to frequent it... wahhhhhh... wish they would open another location in Seattle

[little ms foodie]

hh- I just had the reuben at three girls and really loved it! I didn't have the reuben at I Love NY but just their corned beef and cheese but I have to say that the panini grill at 3 girls makes a huge difference to me and it is my favorite in the market so far.

The Queen Anne pizza place right by the Queen Anne Cafe makes a kick ass messy hot melty Italian that is my hang over go to cure :)

[bbqer]

LMF, I'm with you. Three Girls Bakery has my favorite Reuben and I do think the panini grill helps make it that way. Actually, since I'm a Jack Sprat kinda guy, I also favor the very lean pastrami they use.

[bourbongal]

Agree with the view on the leaner reuben. I felt kinda sick after the one at I Love NY - just too heavy.

I had a nice little reuben at Boka in the newish Hotel 1000 downtown on First and Madison. It was suprisingly good with a cup of their tomato soup for lunch.

[hhlodesign]

here are my 10:

1. Pork Cheeks - Salumi
2. Cuban Roast (formerly Midnight Cuban (not the current Midnight Cuban)) - Paseo
3. Pork Belly Sandwich - Quinn's
4. Porchetta - Salumi
5. Tofu Bahn Mi w/ Avocado - Baguette Box
6. Tatstrami - Tat's
7. Fried Pork Sandwich - Sitka and Spruce
8. Chicken thighs - Paseo
9. Roasted Pork Loin w/ apricot - Baguette Box
10. Dark, White, Mayo, Cran, Lettuce - Bakeman's

1A. Pastrami reuben - Kenny and Zuke's, Portland

[mr.chorizo]

As the original poster (under a different moniker) I like where your head is at. I have had most of these sandwiches and really the top 10 is tough bc like you list, there are certain places that make many good sandwiches. I think I would add Pecos Pit to the list, and am looking forward to trying the Quinns pork belly. 2 places that are a little far for me but I want to try are the torta's place on Aurora and Grinders which is also on aurora. If anyone knows some other great sandwiches post them here!

[bourbongal]

The beef tongue sandwich at Quinn's is also spectacular

[Lost]

I second that, had the beef tongue Rueben a couple weeks ago and it was delicious!

[Alial]

I agree with Other Coast Cafe- Huge Deli sandwiches in with a yummy vegi one too. Kinda on the pricey side but so worth it. And Baguette Box is great too. There is also a place called Honeyhole in CapHill, though lately I haven't been so pleased. Also inside Pike Market there is a place called Market Grill and they have THE BEST fish (Halibut, Salmon or Shrimp) sandwiches!! Don't get the chicken, its a waste of a great meal.

[Jeters]

I would add a new one: Mr Lu's Seafood in U-Districts Blackend Salmon Sandwich. lots of perfect spicy fish with grilled onions.

[BallardFoodie]

I figured I would resurrect this thread in part because you can never allow this great, accumulated knowledge to die, and because I found a good sandwich the other day.

Take 5 Urban Market (70th and 8th) in Ballard/Phinney - I had a very good Reuben (corned beef, swiss, slaw) that is a bit out of the usual, but is definitely on my list of good reubens in the city. My wife had the curried chicken sandwich that she raved about (not really my thing). Good prices, excellent value.

[mrnelso]

For my money, the best sandwich ever built is Prosciutto and goat cheese with fig confit at Armendino's Salumi. Close second is meatball with Gorgonzola there, but as as OP observes
"anything salumi."

[Hanads]

I work in downtown Seattle and my favorite places for sandwiches are

Skillet http://www.skilletstreetfood.com/

Maximus/Minumus truck http://www.maximus-minimus.com/

Pamela's Fine Foods http://www.pamelasfinefoods.com/

[mjager]

Pamelas Fine Foods on Stewart St. downtown is AMAZING. a little pricy but SO worth it. The food is made to order, the ingredients are so fresh and the sandwiches are delicious. My favorite is the meatloaf sandwich served with an au jus.

[stolenchange]

Turkey, Bacon + Avocado @ Homegrown in Fremont.

http://eathomegrown.com/

[Scott O]

Great discussion, and inspiring me to look for more sandwich options.

I would love to see a discussion of the best East coast-style deli sandwiches. I've heard good things about Tat's, The Other Coast and I Love NY Deli, but would love to hear rec's from knowledgeable Chowhounds.

[seattleviking]

Tat's may be a cheese steak destination but I seem to be addicted to their Hot Beef. It's house roasted beef, cheese, hot peppers and you should definitely get the Au Jus. Once you have one it's hard to order anything else.

I've also had the New Yorker [Pastrami and Corned Beef on Rye], the cold Turkey, the Sub Club and the Tatstrami. All of them were good but the Hot Beef is so good. I will say that they roast their own turkey and it's really great stuff. The pastrami and corned beef are good but the turkey and roast beef stand out.

[itsonlyfood]

Based on your rave about Tat's Hot Beef, I tried it. It was great, thanks! Reminds me a bit of Phillipe's French Dip in LA, which is Heaven.

[soypower]

I think Rizzo's French Dip in Ballard deserves a mention on this thread. Incredible!

http://www.rizzosfrenchdip.com/

[ericlutzker]

ditto for rizzo's. just like the originals in l.a. they dip it you don't. and it's delicious. i restrained myself from making a pun there. it was tough.

[jenn]

Rizzo's is definitely a tasty french dip sandwich and thats from some one who REALLY likes Phillippes in LA [which they admit as their model]. But heavens! its a huge sandwich. I would have felt better if I'd only eatten half. Thank goodness eldest pup was there and ready willing and able to eat the remaining 1/3 of my sandwich on top of his own because I couldn't eat another bite and it would have been a shame to waste it.

3 cheers for growing boys!

[ericlutzker]

the newish 'taste of chicago' on the ave in the u district (btw 52nd and 55th) does a very good and credible italian beef sandwich, wet and with gardineira mix or hot sport peppers. they also do (but i haven't tried) a chicago style dog: vienna beef frank with the celery salt, tomato, relish and pickle, etc. i for one have never tried one of these anywhere, and i've always been dubious of the formula: so many toppings. but at least it's clear that these guys know and follow the formula. some chicagoan who loves and misses these should try one and report back. in any event the place is a fine addition, in this city of many transplants, to our burgeoning 'back home' sandwich culture. now if only i could get a maryland blue crab cake or soft shell sandwich

[Scrofula]

I've had their Chicago style dog. I'm no hot dog expert, but I liked it. Good pork chop sandwich, too.

I also recently tried I Love NY Deli. Good pastrami. There used to be another good sandwich place nearby, owned by a Vietnamese family. Changed names a couple of times, and is currently closed.

Also, not technically a sandwich, but I finally found a place that serves real shawarma. None of that mystery-meat-and-lettuce-in-pita that's so common in these parts.

[akq]

Where is the shawarma place?

[Scrofula]

Also in the U District. Shawarma King. Just north of 50th on University Way.

[Chief Seattle]

Tat's cheesesteak and also Tatstrami is infinitely better than Philadelphia Fever

The cuban sandwich and roast pork sandwich from Paladar Cubano
Rizzo's French Dip in Ballard

[jenn]

My husband is a big cheese steak fan---where is this "Tats" of which you speak?

And paladar Cubano? where is that too please.

[equinoise]

See links for Tat's and Paladar.

(p.s. swimming fire fish for breakfast? That's vigorous. Bravo!)

[jenn]

what can I say, my monsters are hard core! ;)

[bourbongal]

This is a great thread. One place that also deserves a mention is Buffalo Deli in Belltown on First. Their Kimmelwick roast beef (aka "beef on weck") with horseradish mayo is great, as are the subs. And they occasionally have the best chicken salad in town.

[soypower]

Just had the most incredible banh mi at Go Deli in Renton. Freshly baked bread, delicious pate, jambon, and head cheese. A must try.

[smellymel]

Finally got around to checking the I Love New York Deli out in Ravenna. I am super psyched to finally find a REAL sandwich place in Seattle. If you have been out east and know whats up with some real deal jewish style delis, this place will NOT disappoint. Obviously Salumi's is some of the best you can find anywhere for Italian style, but this place is NO slouch. I cant wait to try out some of their other stuff. The rueben was REAL DEAL. Def NOT too heavy!? Its a RUEBEN, dude! Maybe you need to go with the turkey rueben next time. Which is just as awesome. Dont space on getting out there soon!

[staffstuff]

I was disappointed with the quality of the meat and bread at I Love NY Deli.....a mediocre substitute for those of us here who miss NY Jewish Deli food. I did discover George's Deli on Pill Hill ( Madison St.) across from The Sorrento Hotel...and boy was my smoked pork shoulder sandwich delicious...great on-site smoked meat & sausages, very, very fresh bread and very fresh sandwich condiments.....they're a Polish-style food joint.

[christy319]

Does everyone know about Delicatus, which just opened in Pioneer Square? I'm pretty happy to have a decent new place for work lunches.

http://delicatusseattle.com/

[Vexorg]

Haven't tried them yet, but I work just a couple of blocks away (I actually used to be in the same building for a while, but my workplace moved before they opened) so I'll give them a try and report back.

And on a semi-related note, it looks like Tat's is planning to move (about a block away from their current location to a place on Yesler) shortly.
