    Cubano and lovely dill pickle.
    Jay D.

    I rate a diner based on their chicken fried steak and a sandwich shop on their Cubano if it's offered. Whilst KS's Reuben will never match the Reuben served at the Valhalla of pastrami, Katz's Deli, KS serve a very worthy Reuben and my partner recommends the sandwich and KS. My Cubano was spot on what with the pork, ham, dill pickle and mustard between a toasted roll. We will return to Knuckle Sandwiches and look forward to tasting the many other sandwiches on offer. Get some!

    We were looking for something a little different and I found Knuckle Sandwich on Yelp. The menu looked pretty good so we decided to try it, since it was only a few miles from the house. The portions were huge and the service was pretty fast. The atmosphere is casual and very Chicago oriented. (I'm from Chicago but it's weird to find it in Mesa) anyway the food was good and I'd come back again. Only drawback: if you've read any of my reviews at all, you'll know where this is going: Pepsi products. Bleh...

    Walking in, you are met with a vibe of Chicago meets Arizona. The establishment was clean and the staff greeting was pleasant and happy. The lunch crowd was present but not so busy to turn us away. Quick service made this even better. When we received our food it was hot and very tasty. I walked away happy with my choice in trying the Cuban. The lemonade was also very good on a day in the Arizona Heat! We will definitely be returning here!!

    Very friendly staff. Clean place. Cole slaw was a bit on the tangy side but still good. Ordered the pastrami knockout (9oz) of meat with Swiss and mustard (no mayo as that would be sacrilegious). The sandwich was a knockout, the meat was super lean with a great taste. We had a garden salad which was huge.

    Hair in my Tuna Salad Sandwich. Took it out of my mouth!

    We decided to get sandwiches from knuckle today based on the great reviews. We tried them about 4 years ago when they first opened and they were good. Although the sandwich was tasty, I was finishing up my first half, only to feel something strange in my mouth. Sure enough, it was a hair. And this is not mine because it was inside the sandwich and I bit into it. I also have curly hair. I'm very disappointed. I hope this will be noted so it doesn't happen to other people in the future. I of course will be throwing out the rest.

    Holy moly where do I start? These sandwiches were M A S S I V E. High quality meats and toppings. It's a popular spot and is sometimes difficult to find seating. Soooo many sandwiches to try. The sides were just meh, but honestly, you won't have room for them anyway!

    The seating and items on the wall were fine. Neat to see some of the sports games playing. They had a claw machine game in the middle that had money in it! Up to $100! BUT... then when you look at the fine print it is just fake. One customer said he spent money and got it, but then learned it was fake after wasting money on a prize that wasn't real. I dont like that type of misleading presentation. We ate a Philly cheesesteak and a BLATT (bacon, lettuce, avocado, turkey, tomato). For the price the cheesesteak was smaller than I expected, especially not including any type of side with it. The bread was warm and soft, but the meat was slightly dry. The BLATT has the different size option for meat and the mid size was ordered, but it seemed like the only meat that increased was just the turkey leaving my wife wanting more bacon in it as well. It was alright as one time try but not sure if we will be back.

    Knuckle sandwich is hands-down the best sandwich shop in the east Valley! They make all their meats in house - no "cold cuts "here. The turkey is carved straight from one of the fresh birds they roast every morning, and the ham comes in generous chunks from the several hams they cook daily. The freshness doesn't stop there - every sandwich is served on a bakery refresh roll that are soft, flavorful, and the perfect compliment to the fillings. You can taste the caring quality in every bite. I highly recommend this place and can't wait to come back and try every single sandwich on the menu!

    This is a very nice place to grab a meal. Be advised they stop serving breakfast at 1030, which is too bad because they had some very good dishes on the menu. So we ended up having lunch which was very good. The Reuben sandwich with pastrami was very good. The chicken salad sandwich was also a winner. The staff was super friendly and were the ones that recommended the sandwiches... winner! The menu was pretty entertaining too. They had cute names for the different dishes. They also have "diabetic cookies" which were good.

    6/7/25: Short version - drove 30 miles to try Knuckle Sandwiches and we would do it again. Very color restaurant inside, pretty wide patio (no misters), fun artwork & decor, and quite a few tables for customers (but not crammed together). Long version - the gal behind the counter (sorry for not catching her name) was extremely upbeat & friendly, she started right in being all helpful with bread choices, describing the sammy sizes, and offering advice when asked "coleslaw or regular potato salad?" She said coleslaw & it was a good choice. It was the creamy type, not the vinegary type. My sister enjoyed the German potato salad. I ordered the steak sub (sans onions), sister went with the heavyweight (three kinds of meat). Both came with a large, crunchy pickle quarter. The steak sub was loaded with meat that was well seasoned, and had just the right about of mushrooms, and a scooch of the horseradish sauce (just like the gal said it was so kudos to her again). :-) Everything was reasonably priced, too. I would take a Knuckle Sandwich over those other larger brand name sandwiches any day.

    Patty melt and cream of potato soup
    Ana F.

    It was our first visit to Knuckle Sandwiches. There were eight people in our group. Ladies at the cash registers asked if we were new to the establishment and I said yes, and they were very helpful showing us the menu and explaining everything. The picture shows a Dagwood sandwich and a patty melt with cream of potato soup. In our group, we had a variety of sandwiches. The roast beef sandwich with provolone was given a very high reading by one of the people in our group. The chicken salad was ordered by three people, and all of them agreed that it was delicious and a lot of food for the money. Everyone in the group was very satisfied with their order. We will definitely be going back to Knuckle Sandwiches!!

    I was at Bashas next door and decides to stop in for a sandwich. I've had their Ceaser Salad with chicken before and it was good but nothing special but it's salad. Their chocolate cake and Zucchini bread are great choices for a sweet tooth. My son liked the pasta salad and I enjoyed their sandwiches. Portion was big and filling The staff was average no one went above or beyond but at least they were courteous. I like the decor and it's got plenty of seating.

    BLT
    Brittany H.

    I had the BLT with no bacon. Really tasty a little dry but really tasty. I would order again with mayo. This was a delivery order

    The best chicken salad sandwich in town.

    Knuckle sandwich was awesome. Kids loved it and they had vegetarian options for my wife. I wish the horseradish was stronger.

    Ask the Community - Knuckle Sandwiches

    Do you offer gluten free bread?

    Yes we do.

    Is this Keto friendly? Can I get sandwiches in a lettuce wraps? Can I get fruit, etc. Instead of chips or Fry's?

    Yes. We offer romaine lettuce wraps for most of our sandwiches. We do offer fruit salad as a side. We also have the option to use two portobello caps as buns(these tend to sell out fast)

The latke was a bit burnt on the edge as you can see in the pix. It was still good with the innards being soft. It is a hefty latke especially good with applesauce. The Reuben was juicy and a meat fest of a sandwich. The eggs were light and fluffy. I was going to order a chocolate beignet and decided to try it next time. It sure looked good! Lunch was enjoyable. I would return. Shared parking lot.

I know some of you are uneducated about the quality of a meatball sandwich & that's ok, I'm not judging so do not be offended. To begin... This is a neighborhood place just like back east , nestled in a neighborhood on the corner hidden from the strip mall garbage. When you come here, and you better, do not be distracted by the path to tasty food. It is in an older neighborhood with minimal parking but fantastic personalities, service & FOOD! Upon entry it's a time warp for us who grew up in a time that was better. This is a good Olde Fashion deli that sells great food with amazing service. Franks is a family place. Back to the real topic... Meatball Sandwich; when you ask what is the cheese that use & the owner is educated on quality be states "Provolone on the bottom, Mozzarella on top" just know you're in the right place! The flavor is top notch, added some cherry peppers to spice it up just right, bell peppers & onions are standard. Took it to go, drove about 20 minutes to where I needed to be, the aroma was teasing me, the concern of the sandwich being cold or soggy rang in my mind while driving the 17 to the 10.. I was nervous, anxious & salivating.... Opening the togo container to see the glorious sandwich! The meatballs are still hot, the sauce is holding place & the bread is still bread, not some soggy remnant of dough! Thank you for the pride, quality & tasty sandwich.
