Top 5 Sandwiches in Essex County

240 Lincoln Ave, Saugus, MA 01906, United States

“We visited Goodfellas on our way back to Boston from Gloucester after a day of whale watching. The high reviews and food photos helped our decision to give this restaurant a try for dinner. This place definitely deserves the 4.9 rating that it has! The service was absolutely impeccable! We were greeted the second we stepped foot in the door which provided a very welcoming vibe. The staff was very polite, friendly and helpful. They explained a little about the restaurant, menu and provided recommendations. We started off by sampling a slice of their cheese and Buffalo chicken pizzas. Both were great, but this was THE BEST cheese pizza my husband and son had ever tasted! The crust was super thin, yet crispy. The crust had a great taste even on its own. We ordered the BBQ Chicken Ranch salad, cheese lasagna, Chicken Broculetini with mushroom tortellini and a couple of slices of cheese pizza. All our food was amazing! This was the best meal we have our entire vacation. This crew works hard to prepare everything fresh and they take a lot of pride in their food and it shows! All our food arrived steaming hot and the flavors were incredible! The chicken broculetini was something you would find in a fine dining italian restaurant, it was that good! We will definitely go out of our way to stop here next time we visit the Boston area! Run, don’t walk to try this hidden gem! Great job guys!”

“Was craving ice cream on the way to Boston & was able to get my fix before it closed. Just for kicks, sampled the grape nut which was interesting. It tasted like soggy grape nuts so at least you don't chip a tooth; you either love it or hate it. I decided to stick to my faves, chocolate peanut butter & pistachio. The pistachio flavoring was off, a bit too pistachio-y, if that's even possible. But the chocolate peanut butter hit the spot. Hubby got the milk & cookies & that was yummy too. Business was steady with a lot of local kids, even on a cold weeknight.”

“Great breakfast! Extensive menu and specials. Friendly and efficient service. Relaxing atmosphere. No rushing to free up the booth. Tables also available. Open roomy seating. Will be back!”

6 Foster St, Peabody, MA 01960, United States

“Went for lunch ~ beautiful restaurant with very friendly staff and really good food. Lunch portions were huge. The 2 pics of the veal parm sub are the same sub. I needed an extra plate so I could try to eat my salad that came with the sub. You get a choice of salad or fries with the sub. The other pic is of the chicken parm with spaghetti.”

324 Cabot St, Beverly, MA 01915, United States

“As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the great staff. Knowing we were from out of town the explained the local favorites. Some of the best subs we’ve had. Highly recommend the Steak Bomb, great cheesesteak with salami and peppers. You it’s an excellent place when it’s jam packed with locals.”

1211 Osgood St, North Andover, MA 01845, United States

“Great food. I've gone here probably 10 times and had 9 amazing dishes and one OK dish. Really nice service. Curries and seafood dishes are great. Seafood mango curry with scallops and shrimp is fantastic. Thai iced tea is awesome cause it's tasty and they give you a ton. Appetizers are also great. I wouldn't recommend getting takeout as the portions are smaller for the same price. The ambience inside is nice so just come in.”

117 Boston St, Salem, MA 01970, United States

“This small spot, though unassuming from the outside, is an ice cream sundae gem for people who can handle their next-level layering of toppings with ice cream. A sundae is $8 (with hard ice cream) or $7 with soft serve, and could easily satisfy two people. Their flavors are diverse and delicious, and they also make their own waffle cones, a worthwhile feature that makes them stand out from other North Shore ice cream establishments. The staff was also incredibly nice, even despite the busy night!”

30 Water St, Danvers, MA 01923, United States

“Really good pizza. The only gripe is that if you are seated at a table in the bar area you are so close to the people on the other side of the restaurant area it's like you are dining together. They should put a divider up. Lobster roll special $25 Spinach, broccoli black olive pizza $20”

2 School St, Marblehead, MA 01945, United States

“Excellent food and service. The cod and skate were on point. Mushroom tartane was delicious and the dessert... merengue filled with berries and whip cream was amazing.”

515 Lowell St, Peabody, MA 01960, United States

“First time having north shore roast beef and I was not disappointed. Meat was perfectly cooked and tender (I’m guessing sous vide) Ordered 3 way meaning American cheese, mayo and bbq sauce. Large portion, I could only eat half and I’m a 200lb man.”

145 North St, Salem, MA 01970, United States

“Great service and personality’s. Nice to see that at a mom and pop shop! But to be honest the food was underwhelming. Standard potato sticks in seasoned undercooked and soggy fries. The quesadilla was dry chicken with wads of warm cheese. No seasoning. I expected some seasoning and flavor but this tasted like a college kids go to on the George Forman grill.”

100 Washington St, Haverhill, MA 01832, United States

“Recently went during my sons hockey tournament with a group of 18 parents, 9 8 year old boys, and 9 of their siblings. The wait staff was amazing, food and drinks were great. I’d recommend to anyone. Small party or large. Great atmosphere.”

136 Andover St, Danvers, MA 01923, United States

“Found this gem on TIKTOK while visiting Danvers from PA. I cannot wait for my next trip here so I can stop in again! Staff is so incredibly friendly and also accommodating for our topping request. Sauce to cheese ratios are perfection and the sauce is not overly sweet! Pan pizza goodness that you didn’t know was able to be achieved. Oh and asked if we might need plates and napkins for our pizza. Beyond thoughtful staff, seriously stop here and get some pizza! Looking forward to trying the hand breaded chicken tenders next go round, so they looked equally delicious in the social media post that sparked this try.”

540 Loring Ave, Salem, MA 01970, United States

“I had purchased their apple pie for Thanksgiving. I asked the owner about the cinnamon flavor (amazing) as it was not the bland off the shelf cinnamon. She informed me it is a very high end not found in stores. You can tell right away along with the apples delivered from local orchards who the owners support. I’m sorry some people need to review for political reasons and not for the good of hard working people cooking amazing pies.”

350 Winthrop Ave, North Andover, MA 01845, United States

“1/17/24 - Stopped here for lunch and the chicken stir fry sub is great. Stuffed with fillings and served hot. I have been to this restaurant a number of times. The food has always been good. The cheeseburger sub was very good. My only complaint is that the portions are too big. If they cut the portion of fries in half (along with cutting the price a little), I would be happy. I will definitely be back. Also, I placed my order online and did not see potato chips (which I know they have).”

9 High St, North Andover, MA 01845, United States

“I got food at this place unintentionally, I was meeting someone at the cafe next door but they closed so I stopped by Stacheys instead. This was my first time and had no idea what to get, so I got a chicken finger sub and customized it with bacon cheese lettuce and tomato. I also got a side of tater tots. This was honestly, the BEST sub i’ve ever had. The toppings are plentiful and everything just tasted so delicious on it. I can’t wait to come back and try other stuff!”

1 Beacon St, Lawrence, MA 01843, United States

“The pizza was great, the best I've had in recent days. Great, friendly, and fast service. Got me a small with cheese, enough for 1 person, or you could split it if you're not too hungry. Tasted great, crunchy, not too saucy, did I mention, it tasted freaking great!!! I'll be back for something different next time.”

653 Humphrey St #2640, Swampscott, MA 01907, United States

“Fantastic local eatery. The chicken finger sub I had here was excellent, and they were friendly enough to deal with me being an out of towner. I'm glad I stopped here instead of doing some fast food drive through. These local businesses are gems. They have one table inside”

15 Post Office Square, Lynnfield, MA 01940, United States

“Ordered three dinners tonight. Two were completely wrong - we ordered chicken dinner plates with side of French fries and rice and then French fries and onion rings. Both orders came with just fries (no onion rings or rice) and the French fries were soggy. We also ordered a Cobb salad but the bacon wasn’t even remotely fully cooked and was all congealed together (possibly few days old?). Called when we realized all this at home, to which they offered to give a “credit” for next time but they didn’t take our name or number. Definitely not ordering from them again”

289 Merrimack St, Methuen, MA 01844, United States

“My son loves the meatball sandwich.. my go to is the chicken caesar wrap… my wife likes the vegetarian wrap…great quality and even better value… have a nice selection of side dishes… looks like a remodel is happening…”
