Found this spot on TikTok and it lived up to the hype. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and solid ingredients across the board. My sister and I split the Gaucho and the Yellowfin Tuna Melt (~$20 each). Pricey for sandwiches, but the quality is there. The Gaucho is packed with meat, almost too much, so the combo with chips helps balance things out. The Tuna Melt was the clear winner, Calabrian chilies with the tuna salad was a great call, though the bread-to-filling ratio could use some work. Overall, both sandwiches are delicious but could use some ratio tweaking. I'll be back to work through the rest of their rotating menu. read more

$25 (with tax and tip) for a Caesar chicken sandwich is wild--especially when the chicken was super thin. I expected more from Bona Fide and left disappointed. The vibe is great (trivia on Tuesdays, good mix of seating), but the food portion and price make it hard to come back. Service was good, no complaints read more

This place has been on my list forever and I am so excited I finally got to go! The reviews are right in that it has a small parking lot but it's in a neighborhood with lots of street parking so if you don't mind walk it's okay! We came on a Saturday night around 8 and it wasn't too busy so the staff was happy to help and no issues finding a table. The reviews are also right in that these sandwiches are massive! You can definitely split. We split the hot Italian and smoked turkey. The smoked turkey was packed with meat and super fresh and the hot Italian was just amazing! The bread on these sandwiches are perfect. We also split the French onion dip and the fries. The fries were seasoned perfectly and the tartar sauce went great and the dip was super creamy. Overall I can't wait to come here again and try more! read more

Found the sandwiches to be very overpriced for taste and quality. Chicken was dry and breading was coming off the chicken Caesar sandwich and the vegetables tasted sour in vegetarian sandwich. Bread was also stale. Would not go again. read more

Amazing food. A little pricy but give you a larger portion for your money. Their weekly special is always interesting but delicious. Large menu with tons of different options. Definitely worth checking out! read more

Good, hearty lunch! $20 for a sandwhich is a bit steep, but it was filling with fresh ingredients and plenty protein. I got the Italian Hot, which was good but quite savory! I believe that something crunchy and sweet and/or acidic (like pickled peppers or red onions) and something creamy like avacado would make for a nice balance of flavors and textures. I'm so glad I added the smashed cucumbers to my order. They were fresh with the sweet and acidic crunch that I needed to accompany the sandwich. Again, $10 is steep for what looks to be not even a whole cucumber, but it was good! read more

Bona Fide is absolutely delicious! I haven't had one thing I didn't like and their delivery is always packaged nicely, with all condiments included which is appreciated. Every sub is a 10/10 and I cannot wait to get my hands on one of those burgers sooner than later! read more

I finally tried the famous Bonafide Deluxe, and the reviews are pretty spot on. I ordered the Mortadella, which was packaged really nicely and tasted delicate, vinegary, and full of flavor. I'd definitely order this again. Everything about that sandwich just worked. I also tried the B.F. Burger, which was okay. Honestly, the patties felt overcooked, and the bun was a little burnt. If the patties had been cooked medium, it probably would've been much better, but they ended up a bit tough. I think Fred's in Krog has them beat when it comes to the burger. That said, I'll for sure be ordering more items since they have a huge menu with tons of different sandwiches. read more

I really wanted to like this place but I think it is not for me. I do not want to deter others from trying them. Please make your own decision. This place is hard to find. I did not know it was in the middle of a circle around a Marta station. I had to use street parking. I was disappointed that they asked for tip but did nothing tip worthy. I am providing a tip but I need to get my own drink, get my own refill, and bust the table once I am done? What service are you providing? The food tasted good. This is easily the best Italian sandwich I have gotten all year. That sandwich combo cost $28 after tax and tip. I am sure there are plenty other places that could give a great sandwich for that price. read more

Bona Fide is a spot I hadn't been back to in a couple of years, and I'm glad I returned. They still make some of the best sandwiches around. I ordered a limited-time cheesesteak special. I can't remember the name, but I definitely remember the flavor. They do not skimp on the beef. It was packed, hearty, and balanced perfectly with just the right amount of cheese. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the place feels comfortable, like somewhere you want to take your time eating. It's clean, with two huge TVs if you want to catch a game. There was a small mix up with our sandwiches, which they caught before we even opened them. They let us keep the extra one and had the correct order out quickly. Great food, great people, and great service. I won't wait another few years before coming back. read more

One of the best sandwiches I've had in Atlanta! This place is so cute inside. It's a little hard to find, since it's right near a Marta station. We found street parking really easily nearby. I got the Smoked Turkey Melt and my husband got an Italian sandwich. Both were great. Portions are HUGE. We definitely could've split one sandwich. We also got the fries, and they were SO good. I'm usually not a fan of thick cut fries, but theirs were seasoned so well. read more

Bona Fide Deluxe - Smoked Turkey Melt and Fries - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

We ordered sandwiches from here and were shocked at the size and thrilled with the quality. We both agreed these were some of the best flavor combinations we've had in quite a while Will definitely order from here again. We also ordered a side to share of pickled beet salad and enjoyed the presentation and flavors with the pink peppercorn ranch, ricotta salata, and dill. My sandwich was the smoked Turkey melt and the meat was tender, flavorful, and a subtle smoky sweetness. The substantial bread was able to faithfully carry the day and did well with the Swiss cheese, avocado, arugula, parmesan peppercorn dressing, and pepperonata. Delicious! Our sandwiches were substantial and I was only able to eat half before calling it quits. This was great since I was able to enjoy the remainder for my next meal and re-live the love at first bite. Looking forward to being a regular patron here! read more

I've been to Bona Fide a few times now, mainly for trivia night -- trivia night was actually what prompted me to check out this place the first time around. They do trivia on Tuesdays at 7pm. It can get pretty packed since it's a popular event, so I definitely recommend getting there early to grab a table and some food and drinks beforehand! I've tried their Tuna Melt and Hot Italian sandwiches -- my favorite between the two being the Hot Italian -- but you honestly can't go wrong here! The vibe is great, and the service is pretty impressive, especially on a packed night! read more

Got it to-go and it was great! They labeled the food appropriately which made large to-go orders easy! Large sandwiches to be honestly split over multiple meals unless you're big back like me A little pricy for a sandwich but they fill the sandwiches to the brim!! read more

You can find Bona Fide Deluxe at 1454 La France St NE Ste 110 Atlanta, GA 30307 - this is a standalone building right across the rail tracks for the Edgewood-Candler Park MARTA Station. The shop is tucked away on the first floor to the left. There's limited parking out front (the road turns in and curves to the left). There's neon spelling "BONA" "FIDE" on the window next to the main entry (it's a bit hard to see if it's a bright day) - I'd say there's little ostentation to announce the location from the outside - this is truly a neighborhood-oriented place, in my opinion. I dropped into this sandwich place with a few friends after an event and had a great sandwich and a good time. As with similar shops, you order at the counter (what's now called "fast casual" and your food is brought to the table. The interior is super eclectic, everything from an alarming array of hanging chandeliers to shadow-box shelving behind the full bar brimming with action figures in vignettes. The place has a diner-ish quality to it with 1-inch tile floors, expansive windows and a tall ceiling with exposed steel girders. It's also quite noisy so be prepared. The restaurant had a surprising list of craft beer options, mostly Georgia breweries with a few surprises and a great assortment. The place on the Saturday afternoon when I visited was busy but with available tables. There's additional seating outside in case it's too much for you (and it's not too hot - it is Atlanta). My Hot Italian sandwich was, in a word, perfection - nice crusty sour dough filled with porchetta, soppressata, pepperonit, provolone, lettuce, tomato, onion and a pepperoni mayo - it's making my mouth water thinking about it. Everything was very high quality and the sandwich was large enough to be quite filling. The $3 "make it a combo" adds in a bag of chips and a soft drink. The sandwich was $18 I believe - not cheap but I think worth it. Service was great with an unusually patient order taker behind the counter, willing to answer questions and make recommendations. I think this is one of the best sandwich shops in Atlanta read more

I was craving a burger and was looking to try somewhere new. Bona Fide deluxe's burger looked good and it didn't disappoint flavor wise. I do wish the bread was more toasted as it was a bit soggy against the patty. Other than that, service and staff were great. Nice family friendly ambiance. read more

Been here twice now and it is my absolute favorite!! If you're craving an easy sandwich or bowl meal, this is definitely my recommendation. Similar style of meal to Panera, but elevated and with excellent ingredients and combos. Best part is the decor - funky antique chandeliers hang from the ceilings and the whole store is decked out in fun objects and toys. read more

I was debating between the smoked turkey melt and the yellowfin tuna melt - clearly I was in a melty mood. SO glad I went with the tuna. It was fire, for real. The sun-dried tomatoes and dill chips were a total game changer. I shall be back for more!! read more

Bona Fide Deluxe - yellowfin tuna melt - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I think the sandwich was okay, though it felt a bit overrated, especially for the price. But let's start with the positives--it was packed with a lot of meat, and the meat was cooked nicely. If you decide to try this sandwich, I recommend investing a little more to add some avocados, cheese and tomatoes. Maybe a few toppings could have turned this into a real winner. There are also some other tempting sandwiches on the menu so overall not a fan of this sandwich but I am sure there are some other winners on the menu. read more

So delicious!! Bona Fide Deluxe has been on my list for a while and I finally made the venture out to Candler Park to check out this spot. They have some spots in a lot and there's a decent amount of street parking as well. My friends and I went on a Saturday night and it was not too busy at all so we were able to order at the counter quickly and seat ourselves. We loved the vibes inside with all the chandeliers and funky decor! Our food came out relatively quickly as well. I split the Hot Italian with a friend and another friend ordered the Turkey Melt. We also got Fisherman fries and French onion dip to share. The sandwiches were massive so definitely split or take home! And they were delicious!! The French onion dip was also solid and we loved the fresh bread with olive oil it came with. The real star though was the fries!! Heavily seasoned with old bay and came with lemon and tartar sauce which was so fun! Overall, great experience and can't wait to go back! read more

I ordered from here a few weeks ago through Uber Eats with my coworkers. Everyone was keen to get sandwiches for lunch and we settled on Bona Fide Deluxe. I ordered the English Cucumber sandwich with some of the ingredients removed since I wasn't keen on them. It was not as exciting of a sandwich, but I blame that more on me than the sandwich itself. They have a vegan option called Seitan Beef + Cheddar which would definitely appeal to vegans who enjoy seitan. The best item on the menu was the Smashed Cucumbers. It seems very unassuming considering people are probably only going for the sandwiches but this was the unsung hero of my meal. The soy + peanut vinaigrette was excellent and I can't say enough good things about this. If anything, I would definitely come back just for this. read more

Got the hot Italian sub! The ambiance and space was so beautiful! We ordered at the front and they were all very friendly. I got the hot Italian and I would say the prices were a little bit on the more expensive side but the sandwich was a decent size. I would say the bread was okay, tasted a little stale but the flavors were good. The pork belly slices were thickkkk! The wait for the sandwich was a little long. Overall, not bad a sandwich spot. read more

Bona Fide Deluxe - The dining tables - Sandwiches Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I have been seeing this place all over social media so decided to give it a try. They are known for their amazing sandwiches and I could attest to that. The space is super vibrant and has outdoor seating. We really came here for drinks initially and had fomo when we saw how outrageous their sandwiches are, so we ordered one for take out. My hubby got a few beers and I enjoyed an alcohol free passion fruit slushy, more on the tart side. Ambiance here is super cool and service was awesome. We were well taken care of. Now we did order a chicken salad sandwich to eat for the next day. The bread got a bit soggy but was still delicious nonetheless. It was already cut in half and easily shared between two people. It was packed full of flavor, though I found it quite a bit salty - dunno if they added more salt when there were already big chunks of bacon included. The chicken was flavorful and mayo brings creaminess. Overall, pretty good sandwich! read more

Just by looking at the picture of their sandwiches, you would think that they were absolutely delicious. Do not be fooled. The bread on our sandwiches were old, stale and cold. I suggest at least having room temperature bread served with your sandwiches instead of cold hard bread pulled out of refrigerator! I'm very particular amount the bread on my sandwich! The bread made the sandwich absolutely inedible. I I'm definitely not be coming back! Service was good! The Resturant is nicely decorated and it sits at a great location. read more

I was in the mood for a good smashburger and saw this one listed on Atlantaeats as one of the best so I had to try them out. Guess what? They didn't disappoint either. The burgers were cooked to perfection. Smashed and crisp on the ends. You can tell that they aren't frozen patties too. The pickles were throwing the taste off to me so I took them off after the first few bites. The burger gets two thumbs up! We also had the smoked salmon dip and the wings. Dip was cool and the wings tasted smoked which was great. Not a fan of the wedges but I didn't come to the restaurant for that anyway. I'm sure I'll be back. Found street parking a block over. read more

Amazing! Why didn't I try this sooner? I've had Bona Fide on the list for a while now and I'm glad I finally went! The inside is super inviting and bright(even on a gloomy day). It truly reminds me of another local popular sandwich place but in a better upscale way. Very clean, quirky, and trendy. And the staff was very friendly They serve sandwiches, bowls, sides, and drinks. Beer, Wine, Cocktails. I ordered the hot Italian and fries. The sandwich tasted fresh, flavorful, and savory. The fries were very cajun and delicious. They were a great size cut. Felt like the prices were fair, the sandwich is a hefty size and a good amount of fries. All for $25 The only feedback I have, I wasn't the biggest fan of the bread. It tasted a little old but the rest of the flavors covered it up. Excited to go back and try other sammies! read more

If you're searching for the ultimate sandwich experience, look no further than Bona Fide Deluxe, tucked away on LaFrance Street in Atlanta, Georgia. From the moment I walked in, I was captivated by the eclectic vibe and lively energy--this is the kind of spot that guarantees a great time, whether you're with friends, family, or flying solo. Now, let's talk sandwiches. Their menu is nothing short of incredible, boasting generously-sized creations that are perfect for sharing. One standout feature? The option to split a sandwich with a friend by customizing halves--genius! My dining companion and I opted to share the Hot Italian Sandwich, and let me tell you, it was a revelation. Piled high with pancetta, soppressata, pepperoni, and provolone, every bite was a savory symphony of flavors. The kicker? That pepperoni mayo. Yes, pepperoni mayo! It was so good I was shamelessly licking my fingers. For the size of these sandwiches, the price is spot on, and if you're feeling indulgent, you can add a combo (chips and a drink) for just $3 more. But it doesn't stop there. The sides are just as memorable. The Fisherman Fries, dusted with Old Bay seasoning, garnished with lemon, and served with tangy tartar sauce, are a must-try--perfect for sharing but hard to part with. And the Pork Rinds? They're a flavor bomb, coated in cowboy spice and paired with a ranch sauce and pepperoni mayo (trust me, it works). A friendly tip from the server turned this into an unexpected highlight of the meal. And if you're wondering about the extras--Bona Fide Deluxe has those, too. Trivia nights every Wednesday and Sunday at 7 PM are the perfect excuse to bring a group and dive into more of their offerings. Parking is conveniently located in the MARTA parking deck; just be sure to use the spots marked for retail. To sum it up: Bona Fide Deluxe is not just a sandwich shop--it's an experience. From the creative menu to the inviting atmosphere, this is the kind of place you'll rave about to everyone you know. So what are you waiting for? Go, grab a sandwich (and maybe some fries or pork rinds), and prepare to be hooked. I know I'll be back soon! read more

I haven't had the pleasure of dining in. I've ordered takeout a handful of times, at least five. I started with the Hot Italian. It was quite good. The next couple of times I had their burger which did not disappoint. Recently I tried The Moe Joe. The photos and description do not do it justice. The Parmesan and Serrano make this one a standout. Today I tried this week's special which was delicious. It was a house smoked top round. The service here is wonderful too. I always have my pups with me so I call and ask someone to bring it out. They are always so nice and ask if I need anything else, napkins et cetera read more

So we canceled dressier and more traditional anniversary plans after seeing the Italian sandwich on OH earlier this week and craving it since. So on my wedding anniversary we ended up here. I have to say w surging was had was excellent. Like we're planning to make it a regular spot even though it's a half an hour from our home. We got an Italian sandwich, the one that was similar to a Cuban and a pimento dip. My sandwich was delicious. Huge. I could only eat half. I also asked for it with regular mayo instead of the spicy it comes with. My husband got eh Cuban. Or was messy but so good. Spicy so I couldn't have a bite. But he loved it. We got the Imani cheese so as a starter and gobbled it. We ordered a second round to go for a late night snack. Staff was super chill and friendly. Thing came out incorrectly. Food was fast. They have takeout. If you're looking for plates they are by the fountain drinks. read more

This is the BIGGEST sandwich I've ever gotten. It's definitely expensive (I paid $22 for a sandwhich, chips, and a drink) but that sandwich could probably last me 3 meals. I got a cold cut, and I didn't personally like it (I know a 4 star review) but the quality of the bread, meat, toppings were great. If I would've liked what was on the sandwhich it probably would've been the best sandwich ever. Location is good, it's cute inside. You walk up, order, sit down, so very casual. The workers were very nice. read more
