Holy Moly this place is THE BEST! Everything is so fresh and homemade and delicious. We have come here twice while traveling to and from Portland and I just love it so much. I got the B.L.A.T with pita chips, fiancé got the California chicken with pita chips. We also got a half order of Mac and cheese for our son. My sandwich was great, fresh toppings and I love the bread! The pita chips are my absolute favorite. I wish I could buy these and take them home. So fresh and soft but just a little bit crisp. All around great place. Great taste and very affordable pricing for way above average good that is clearly very fresh and made in house. I wish this place was closer to home. Also, the chicken on my fiancé's sandwich was perfectly cooked and very tender. He took one bite and said "WOW". My sons mac n cheese was delicious and clearly homemade. I am very impressed and will definitely be returning. read more

We ordered the Hawaiian burger with tots and fries. I have to say I was very disappointed in the food. The burger had horrible flavor, gristly, and the price of just the hamburger was over $8.00 way to much for how it tasted. The fries and tots were served cold. I will not be ordering here again. Your better off getting in your car and driving to Five Guys for the price of the food, and quality of the food here. read more

Found this place on a bike trip. Had the BLAT with the cinnamon sugar pita chips and salted caramel toffee dip. The best sandwich I've EVER had. So good. Wish this place was where I lived. The dips are fantastic as well. read more

very nice employees! Ordered the B.L.A.T in sandwich form and its was freaking amazing! 10/10 would order again #360NoScope #420 #SandwichOfALifetime read more

Are you kidding me, this place is amazing! I just happened upon the Korean Cheesesteak & my wife had the BOSS, neither one of us wanted to share ours with the other... We are new to the Salem area and were looking for our goto place for sandwiches, our search is over! read more

This feels like the ihop of sandwich places. A sweet tomatoes with safe choices. It was good, but I'm not drooling over the place. Tastes like very Americanized bahn mi and bulgogi. read more

Stopped for breakfast; sounds like lunch is the meal to eat there. DH had veg omelet that had some unusual 'sauce' that he really didn't like (maybe get it on the side?) altho the omelet itself looked good. I had egg/really crispy bacon/mini pancake. The pancake was yummy & so was the syrup. It gets 3 stars because the potatoes were deep fried, my egg arrived sunny w/white very liquidy (ordered OE) & had to get cooked more, and slow service (we were the only customers). S&P shakers need to be wiped clean. (visited 7/10/17) read more

The Bahn Mi was different but very good. The green salsa and chips was very tasty as well. Now if they can just clean at least one table for the customers to sit down. Completely empty but every table was dirty. Good thing the food made up for it. And the cashier was very nice. I would come back and I would suggest that you try it as well. read more

We had the best breakfast I can remember in along time! You couldn't ask for better customer service! We will definitely come back and bring our family. read more

Tasty and delicious, fast and nutritious, unique food at very reasonable prices. One of my favorite lunch places. I use it for catering and take out business lunches. Very accommodating. Joy Campos and her staff seem happy to serve, and that's part of presentation and ambiance, which is part of the meal. read more

Delicious! Their pita chips are so good, kind of like fried pita bread- not too crunchy. I got a banh mi salad and it was very good. We will definitely be returning on our next trip to Salem! read more

We had a great lunch. Blat sandwich with blue Cheese was definitely delicious and would order that one again. We also got the tochos .... I liked the idea of tater tot nachos but these had a strange and unwelcome sweetness to them. Not sure if it was in the pico or the aoli but was very off putting. Want to try the rest of the menu. read more

Very pleased with this spot,I had the bahn mi, which was a little more "americanized" than a traditional Vietnamese style,but very close,and we'll put together, found my new lunch spot.. read more

Awesome food, better than awesome. Great variety and good price for what you are getting. Love the atmosphere, it's like a lunch counter with benefits. Better than mama's is a bold statement but it holds true my mama dont cook like this. Keep up the good work guys! read more

Yelp told me to come here and Yelp was right! They have quick service, fresh salads, great dips and their sandwiches are fresh and flavorful. read more

This is only my second time at this establishment and I am thoroughly impressed with the food, service and quality of business. Today I had a California Chicken Club wrap, the chicken was tender, veggies were crisp, sauces spicy and the tortilla perfect, the portions are good for the price. I will be a returning customer and I recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick inexpensive and healthy meal. read more

Very disappointed. On our way to Seattle and stop by for lunch. Flavor was 'off'. My son, who could eat til the rain stop, could not finish his lunch. Maybe, it one of those thing that your expectation was 'too' high and the food did not come close to what you think. We had food leftover and did not even take the food to go. Very disappointed. read more

Seriously, every time I go there, everyone is amazingly responsive, engaged and friendly. The food is fresh and so full of flavor. I haven't found a single item I haven't fully enjoyed. Thanks Mama's! read more

This place is YUMMY! Homemade food and a variety of cuisine types from Korean to Mexican to American foods. We had a Korean steak wrap and a bowl of soup and my taste buds were HAPPY!! I cannot recommend this place enough. read more

Came to Salem for a basketball game and had a need for some comfort food. This did not disappoint. Spiral cut fries were great - burger was fresh and topping were as described and very tasty. The staff was friendly and curious. I will be back!! read more

Better Than Mama's - BTM burger with fries are amazing!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Salem, Oregon

Are you kidding me people? This place is terrible. Three of us each got different things, all were disgusting. This is why Salem is a joke.

Great for a midday snack or a hearty lunch. The BLT is awesome with choice of spreads. Chips and dip, sooooo many dips to choose from. The totchos are amazing and go so fast! Great service and great food. read more

Disappointing. Went for lunch last week thinking they would at least have sandwiches- nope! I see pics on this site of such, but there were only 4 appetizers, 3 salads and a couple misc high priced items on the menu I saw. Sorry, but my mama's menu offered more variety. Ended up having a lettuce filled salad with tiny bits of chicken for almost $7. Won't be going back. They should really grow their variety as there's not many cooked items on the menu as their business name would suggest. Deceiving, to say the least. read more

Fantastic Asian fusion wraps. Have a hard time decided between their Korean Cheese Steak and their Seoul Bunh Mi. Both are excellent! I'm not the biggest Kimchi fan, but theirs really works well in the Korean Cheese Steak. Beats fast food any day and is a great option for folks near down town, work lunches, etc. IMHO their wraps are better than the sandwiches just because the wraps seem homemade, like fresh made tortillas. Excellent! read more

We stopped in to buy sandwiches to take on our hike of the Trail of Ten Falls. My family and the staff agreed that the food would travel well enough for our hike. They wrapped it up in a way that made it easy for us to put it in our packs. BTW - Get the chips and try their dips. Hours later we ate our food and it was fantastic. I can only imagine how delicious it is fresh in the store. Thanks to Better Than Mama's and their friendly staff. read more

We have driven past this place several times but have never seen it. It is tucked away inside of an office plaza-type setting. We found it using yelp, saw great reviews and can absolutely add another 5 star review to the list. The hummus is, hands down, the best hummus I've ever eaten. The street tacos are seasoned perfectly and priced each separately so you can get as little or as much as you like. The salted caramel dip with sugar pita bites are simply amazing. You must try it to see for yourself! read more

Everything on the menu sounded so good, it was hard to decide! I settled on the fish tacos and cup of salmon chowder, and both items were delicious! I recommend taking some of their fantastic house made chips and dip to go when you're finished with your meal. I brought a bag of chips and bacon chipotle cheese dip home to my family and they all raved about it! read more

Very fresh!! I had the street tacos-one steak one chicken both w corn tortillas...fantastic! Mike had the BLAT sandwich, bread was fresh baked and soft-ingredients were very tasty. Chips and salsa are extra but definitely worth it...we will be back! read more

Being from Portland I was skeptical of finding anything comparable and fast in Salem. But great place for a quick meal that's tasty! BLAT wrap was awesome! Must be handmade tortillas! Goddess Kale salad, sounds boring... It's not even close! Balanced with the fries, lightly breaded, thick home cut and served with the chipotle ranch! Yum yum! read more

Love the employees and the food is AMAZING! I would highly recommend Better Than Mama's !

I had never been here before and I tried it today for the first time and I looooooved it! Service was great and food was delicious!

After seeing that this place had such a high rating, we were excited to try it for lunch. Ordered the farmer's market sandwich, the "boss" sandwich and the chicken tortilla soup. Both sandwiches were lacking. There were hardly any veggies on the farmer's market sandwich and there was literally one small bite of goat cheese. The one small bite I had with all the ingredients together was really good- too bad it didn't last for more than just that one bite. Same with the boss sandwich- spread was on a very small area of the sandwich and it wasn't very filling. The only really good part was the soup, but it wasn't enough for us to want to come back and try again. Too much to spend on such tiny portions. read more

I am so hooked on this place for their southwest Mac and cheese! I have read the reviews for this place so I had to try it and see if people knew what they were talking about, they were and it was great! I do want to try some of their other stuff on the menu but it will take a little time. People Please post what is your favorite food so I will know what to gravitate towards next time I go in. Thanks read more

Small store front. Feels kinda like your sitting inside a classroom. The Tatchos are a MUST GET. I would definitely recommend getting a half order of the tatchos a full order is a lot of potatoe. read more

It was not what I expected from the reviews and short description. They were good, but there wasn't many options and a lot of them had cheese-which my husband is allergic to. If you visit them be sure to keep an open mind because a lot of their foods are different and unique. read more

Pretty much our favorite place for wrap and sandwiches in Salem. Sure, they might be out of something every once in a while - that just means the food is fresh! read more

We've had the Bahn Mi wrap and the seven layer tostada, as well as the street tacos and it is all fantastic. We took the salsa and salted toffee caramel dip home to enjoy! We highly recommend eating here and taking some home with you! read more

I had lunch here for the first time ever and I LOVED it! It is unique, like everyone else says and yet it is affordable. Most sandwich shops are going to cost you quite a bit, this one is not "cheap," but it is not going to break the bank. My total was $12.50 with chips, a drink and the Banh Mi Sandwich! It was SOOOOOOOO good! My friend had the fish tacos and was also very impressed. I work right across the street, and I WILL be back soon! :) P.S. GREAT customer service and smiles! Thank you! read more

Great place for a to go order or quick lunch, with ample space to sit down and enjoy your lunch. The chipotle chicken sandwich/wrap was delicious! Although, due to the small portion and lack of drink or side for 7.99, the price is a little steep. read more

I come here nearly every time I am at Broadway Commons. The totchos are incredible. The food has great flavor and always comes out hot, the service is always fast and the folks who work here are smiling. The food and the service, as well as the good prices and convenient location are what keep me coming back. read more
