Houston transplant, looking for the best sandwich shop in town. What would yall say?

type of sandwich?

Treasures for a roast beef sandwich.

Kenny & Ziggy's

Carter & Cooley in the Heights is a bad ass deli. Right across the street from Torchy's.

Brown Bag.

IMO...Sandwiches are one of the few food areas where some chains can be as good or better than the independent shops. I like trying the mom&pop/independent ones, but my favorites are still Potbelly's and Schlotzsky's.

KAT'z Reuben.

Stop in a Zero's if you're in downtown. Bread like Schlotsky's but better.

This thread makes me miss Alfred's of Houston on Stella Link. His son later ran Kahn's Deli in Rice Village.

I've never had a Reuben as good as Alfred's.

Also the Gastro Punk food truck.

Short Rib Grilled Cheese.

I have been to brown bag, and it's good, but it always leaves me wanting a little something else. Plus they keep raising their prices. Need to try Carter and Cooley's

get the Submarine, it really is unbelievable how much meat and cheese they can stuff on a sub and still have it taste like heaven

Quick cold cut - Supreme Sandwich
Bahn Mi - Vietnam Poblano (Gessner @ Longpoint)
Meatball - Brooklyn Meatball Co
Po Boy - BBs

Chelsea's in Kingwood has good sandwiches and don't charge you $10 for it.

Try the Cajun beef at Salato on Lockwood and I-10.

Cuban sandwich at Sam's Burgers Fries & Pies

Had the lobster roll at Cousins Maine food truck yesterday. Tasty!

grew up on those, very money

For banh mi, I like Ba Mien Bistro off 1960 near Champions. It's a little out of the way for most people, but worth the trip.

My favorite Bahn Mi is Les Givral in Midtown.

This is so true. Zero's is essentially what Schlotsky's would be if it was made by people who love working with food. Give it a try if you've never been.

I'd vote Kenny & Ziggy's as the best deli in Houston, but it may be out of the comfortable price range for some.

Make sure it is the downtown one though. The one in greenspoint was a let down.

Will definitely agree w/ Zero's downtown...need to try Carter and Cooley's sometime soon

I am a fan of Little Jimmy's on the South side of Richmond just East of Weslayan.

Maine-ly Sandwiches has a good lobster roll.

Bahn Mi - Don Sandwich Shop on Bellaire near Jesuit.

Sandwich - Little Jimmy's
Banh Mi - Les Grivals

Nielsen's Deli on Richmond just ITL.

Corned beef, pastrami, and chicken salad are all good.

And the potato salad is the best I've ever had.

No offense, but is this a troll/joke? I realize the sandwiches are like $2.50 or something but I picked one up at the TC Jester location one day and it was the most basic/bland sandwich I have ever had. My mom slapped together better sandwiches when she was in a rush. I would put Jimmy John's WAY over this based on my one experience. Hell, I'd rank it well below Subway. But I went when the place was just a few months into business, so maybe I should try again?

Another vote for Little Jimmy's
