I love French Sandwiches. In the past I used to frequent it a lot. I haven't been for few years. I went recently and it is still as I remember it! Absolutely delicious! I got the continental sandwich with the onion soup it also comes with the puff pastry. The owner came and we had a long chat about Vietnam and Vietnamese food. It has been open for more than three decades! A San Antonio staple to not miss! read more

This place is essentially banh mi sandwich! It tasted great, well my grilled pork one which I know would be fantastic at a Vietnamese sandwich shop. My fiancé on the other hand got meatball, it was not good. I don't recommend it. You can't go wrong with grilled beef, chicken or pork. We enjoyed the French breads. I also got iced Vietnamese coffee, amazing! Very strong and nice. The place is very casual and good service. The guy was nice and attentive. It doesn't get packed so you know you'll finish in a timely manner. We'll be back! read more

Does serving a sandwich on French bread or croissant automatically consider it French? I don't think so. The restaurant is not what I had expected as being advertised as French. My turkey sandwich had 1 piece of thin turkey luncheon meant that was fried on a skillet and put between bread. The microwave cheese was overheated, the "French onion soup" was actually hot and sour "tamarind paste" water with a small, thin slice of bread and a thin cheese square. I couldn't even finish it. It was too bitter to attempt to finish. Jason's Deli has better French onion soup. I took a small bite of the pastry and didn't care for it. I think by this point, I just wanted to pay and leave. I'm almost convinced this restaurant is not owned or managed by the same people as the reviews state because I was less than impressed. read more

Had chemo treatments and needed something quick, portable and filling for after my treatment started. Found this gem just minuteminutes away from the medical center hub and a great find. Super nice family. Took my to go order and got my food out quick and bagged fantastically. I read a few reviews here who mentioned soggy sandwich, not in my case. I picked up my food at 1:00pm and by the time they finished all my prep, bloodwork and other items, didn't sit to eat until almost 2 hrs later. French bread was nice and crispy and sandwich held up fantastic. The cream puff was fabulous and my beautiful salad was flavorful and so pretty got a compliment from the nursing staff. Several people mentioned my meal smelled great, and it was. Thanks for a great meal and will be back. read more

French Sandwiches - S7 Chefs Continental Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

We have eaten here for over 20 years, and today is our last, the old owners where very happy and nice to see and deal with, my wife asked me to stop by and pick up some chicken sandwiches, the whole family who works there where very rude and seemed inconvenienced that I showed up, horrible attitude towards me just showing up for some food, this is not the first time these people have been hostile for no reason Strangely when I got home, 1st thing my wife asked me was that Vietnamese sandwich place rude to you? Yes ! Well they were really rude on the phone , and they acted like jerks! Bye bye rude jerks read more

This is a regular lunch takeout place for my coworkers and I. The most popular options generally are the combo, shrimp and BBQ beef banh mi. What I love the most are the little pastries (tarts?) that come with the sandwiches - not too sweet, but perfectly delightful. read more

After eagerly anticipating a visit to this establishment for quite some time, my companions and I were delighted to seize the opportunity for a leisurely weekday lunch. Upon our arrival, however, we couldn't help but notice a slight lack of warmth from the staff, resulting in a brief wait before being seated. The place is an old school experience. Nevertheless, our culinary experience quickly improved as we savored the delightful French Onion Soup, adorned with a delectable piece of bread topped with provolone cheese--an absolute delight to the palate. The Vegetable Croissant, accompanied by a pastry, also proved to be a pleasant surprise, although the pastry itself was merely satisfactory. Moving on to the main course, the Fajita chicken served with French bread garnered favorable reviews from our party, offering a satisfying blend of flavors. As for the Cafe Du Monde, while it met our expectations, it did not particularly stand out amidst the other culinary delights. One highlight of our visit was the engaging conversation with, perhaps, the owner of the establishment, who graciously shared with us the rich history behind the restaurant--a truly enriching experience that added depth to our dining adventure.In sum, despite the minor hiccup with the staff's demeanor, the culinary offerings and the enlightening conversation with the owner made our visit truly worthwhile. A Vietnamese gem worth exploring, with the potential for an even more memorable experience if the staff were to enhance their friendliness towards patrons. read more

We have been eating here for years and love it! When we first started going there, there was a lovely, older couple who cooked and served the meals. The gentleman was so proud of the bread and cream puffs that were especially made for them by a local bakery. If you want a great Bahn mi sandwich, this is your place! Whichever sandwich you choose, the sandwich has a lovely mayonnaise, crisp cucumber, cilantro and a delicious marinated carrot and daikon mixture. The sandwich comes with a delicious, delicate onion soup with a small piece of toast and cheese, slightly melted. Fabulous! The finishing touch: a vanilla cream filled cream puff. Unfortunately, last week, this cream puff was dry and not fresh-tasting. We had stopped going because, for a while, after the older couple were probably retired, two young men were working there. They could have been related but clearly, they did not want to be there: they were always in a hurry to take your order and very curt with the customers. We were very uncomfortable with their attitude and decided to just not come back. We were happy to see a more mature and patient, knowledgeable man and woman working there now. Now, we can go back. Hopefully, the cream puffs will be fresher! read more

Cute little shop with a big menu. Went straight for bahn mi and a side of French onion soup. Going to come back and try the meatball sandwich next time. Looks like 2 employees keeping the place going on Saturday and very sweet. Of all the options to eat at in this one strip center, I'm very glad of my choice! read more

French Sandwiches - Sandwiches Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

The place is aptly named, since your options are from a list of various sandwiches on French bread or croissant, with a soup or salad choice. I think they also include a small cream puff. My favorite is pâté on croissant with French onion soup. I first ate it there back in the early 1990's and again twice recently. Great value and still good after all these years! read more

Ive been going to this shop for almost 15+ years, but haven't been back in awhile so decided to stop in because I had an appointment the area. Server right off the bat seemed really disinterested and annoyed that my wife and I were even there. This isn't a big deal because I never felt the service was that friendly here , but the sandwiches were favorites of my mom and I. The prices hikes were pretty outrageous even considering inflation. $11 for a hardly filled stale bread sandwich. There is not enough meat or veggies in this sandwich to justify the price of it. It feels like this place has an identity crisis. Is it a bahn mi shop or a sub place? The sandwiches that don't have the pickled bahn mi veggies have the shredded lettuce / tomato combo that you might find at jimmy johns but less of it and not even as good. The value of it looks piss poor in comparison and I'm not even saying jimmy johns is that great either. The bread was so stale and powdery that the roof of my mouth is still sore and cut up since yesterday. I don't know why but the onion soup made my wife and my teeth hurt also. Just really disappointing and were were left wondering, was it really good in the old days or has it always been like this? read more

Trying to find a good breakfast/lunch place during the holidays before New Years and failed after driving to 2 closed restaurants. I decided to call this one before I started driving again, and it was open. For good reason. No regrets on the great find. It is located in The Oaks shopping plaza, relatively easy to find between Fredericksburg road and Wurzbach road, between A&M nails and Smoke N More. It shares the parking lot with the rest of the stores in the plaza but there is usually plenty of parking. Ordered the French Grilled Tuna sandwich w Croissant. Amazing! Came with a wonderfully prepared and presented small salad and a sweet pastry. The croissant is crispy on the outside and warm on the inside. The pastry was a cream puff that was very delicious. Such a good deal with everything included! Not a lot of store does that anymore bc it's usually an added charge! Owner Duc is from Vietnam and has opened for over 30 years (since 1990), extremely friendly and with great customer service. Will definitely come back again when in the area to try out other dishes. Keep up the great work French Sanswiches! read more

This little hole in the wall is a gem! The interior is very 90s/early 2000s, which as a millennial, feels very nostalgic and comforting. They have a great combo where you order a sandwich and you get a soup and a cream puff dessert. The French onion soup is very tasty and just the right amount. The sandwich is so good, I wish it were bigger. I'm not sure if they make the cream puffs on site or if they're premade somewhere; either way, they are really good. There is ample parking and the service is excellent. read more

Ordered here for a large office. the amount I was charged was expecting a lot more than what we got. When I went to pick up the restaurant did not seem like a French style like I was expecting in the name. The sandwiches were gross definitely not worth what I paid for. I was incredibly disappointed. read more

It's been years and years since I lived in San Antonio but I often think about this wonderful restaurant and wish I could go. Everything is incredibly delicious and made with love. I'm so glad to see they are still around. Ps. What's in the french onion soup recipe that makes it taste so magical? I tried so hard to figure it out. Haha but mine never turns out that amazing. read more

The food here is so simple but so soooo good. The onion soup was the perfect amount of salty oniony cheesey warm goodness. The croissants taste made with care and love. The little profiteroles at the end just finished the meal with a sweet little unexpected touch. Absolutely will be back we adore this place. read more

The continental, the onion soup and the cream puffs!!!! I don't live in San Antonio and I DREAM of going back here because I love their food! this place should be more known because the sandwiches never miss and the service is good. Great location too read more

I went here for lunch today and it was so wonderful! There are Vietnamese sandwiches (banh mi) on the menu, which makes sense because there was quite a bit of French influences in Vietnam. Each of their sandwiches come with a soup or salad and a dessert! Anyways, I got the grilled pork sandwich, which was S14. And it was freakin delicious. In my personal opinion, the detail that stands out the most is their bread! I'm not even a bread person, so that would really tell you how delicious it is. They house-make their French breads. I would actually say it compares well to the california French rolls from Lee's bakery! Soft on the inside and enough crunch on the outside where it doesn't hurt your mouth. If you have not come in yet, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR, AND COME IN. read more

I came here for a Banh-Mi sandwich. This is one of my favorite sandwiches and buy them all throughout my travels, and have been to many places in Houston/Austin/Dallas. With that being said, never in my life have I seen a Banh-Mi priced at 8.70. I'd say on average they're generally priced at 4.50-5, sometimes even including your tax. So I thought, wow this must be a really stellar version. Nope, smaller than many I've had previously, meat wasn't even as flavorful, and was very overall unimpressed. I'm sure their other sandwiches are fine, but they're fleecing people with their Banh-Mi. read more

definitely a hole in the wall! Please don't judge the place from the outside Their pork banhmi is great! Price is amazing and with the combo option its so good! So when you order one sandwich option you can get a side of chips or onion soup. It really worth it for a quick lunch that you want to grab. Ingredients are really fresh and they add a small little cream puff on the side for dessert. going to school nearby its a great place to grab lunch here with some of my colleagues. The service is really fast and the staff is all so sweet. They have enough seating inside but always feel free to just do take out. read more

I got a club sandwich. Food quality was cheap. The Swiss cheese melted like American which means it's not the greatest quality. The meats were sliced thick and you could tell they were super processed like straight off a Cisco truck. They got my order wrong twice. I didn't even buy a drink and it cost me over $14 with a 20% tip, which I always leave unless they really upset me. And I sat for a long time waiting for this simple order. Lastly, the atmosphere is big fat zero. If you want people to dine in, take some pride in the surroundings. And for gods sake, don't make the lady get up 5x for some tea. You have a dining room... wait on her. read more

This place USED TO BE great. Original owners sold it a few years ago. Shortly after everything was pretty much the same. Not anymore! French onion soup hardly has cheese in it and no horseradish? Too expensive? How else do you eat a beef sandwich without? Speaking of the beef sandwich, you get about half of the beef you used to get. read more

The food was good.Excellent service. They are a super nice family. I didn't like the way the restaurant smelled. Also it's not really French. read more

2:50 pm day at round table, we were asked to move to smaller table because only 2 in party; chicken salad or any salad is not an option today because the salad guy didn't show up today. Cilantro is not available today! We finally get our order. Every since Uncle retired, the service and quality of sandwiches & onion soup have suffered. Perhaps the work ethic is affected. Whatever it is, it's not a five star place any more. The decor is the same, maybe improved, even, but it does not feel the same. Probably won't return. read more

French Sandwiches is absolutely delicious and you MUST try this place out. It's a quaint hole-in-the-wall sandwich shop that serves amazing french sandwiches. My friend introduced me to this place during lunch time just a few days ago. We called our orders ahead of time and they said our order would be ready in just 15 minutes. In the meantime, we went to get some boba before heading to pick up our orders. I was very impressed by their takeout packaging. Everything was neatly packaged; it really shows the shop owners' attention to detail, which I appreciate! The food was DELICIOUS. I ordered the S2 sandwich on a croissant. The sandwich came with french onion soup, and a cream puff. So good and filling. And so worth the price!! I am very enthused and delighted to know that there's a business out there like French Sandwiches! Go support them!! You won't regret it. read more

Had this place bookmarked for MONTHS - maybe even a year or more - mainly because of their outstanding ratings. So glad I finally tried it! Lunch with the gal pal a few days ago - around 1 p.m. It wasn't very busy. Service was on point. Did not wait very long before someone came right over and asked about drinks, etc. I had the S-5, sliced meatballs. Gal had the S-2; the turkey club combination. My sandwich was fantastic. What I was most impressed with was the softness of the French bread. That kind of bread can EASILY get too hard; it always seems to shred my mouth. French bread should ALWAYS be served this fresh and soft. Only thing I wasn't real impressed by: my French Onion soup. Not that it was bad, it just wasn't overly impressive. Overall, I'll definitely be back at some point. Might be back sooner, but this place is a tad out of my way. Overall: definitely worth a visit. read more
