We stumbled upon The Sandwich Man while driving from New Jersey to Smith Mountain Lake for vacation and needed a quick lunch. This place was exactly what we were hoping to find. If you're looking for a freshly made sandwich on great bread with quality cold cuts, this is the place. If you're expecting a typical Subway-style franchise sandwich, keep driving. The service was friendly, the sandwiches were delicious, and everything tasted fresh. read more

Well, when I was younger, my grandpa would always take me to the Sandwich Man on 22, especially after practice playing for the Linglestown Colts. That was the best spot to get some food to recharge, so I decided to take a walk down memory lane and get an Italian sub when I got off of work. The staff was inviting, and the place still looked and smelled the same as it did when I was a kid. There was plenty of meat on the sub with all the fixings, and of course, I complemented it with plain Middleswarth chips. Being from Pennsylvania, you have to eat it with Middleswarth chips! My mouth was drooling looking at the sub, even though the roll itself felt very hard. With the first bite, I went right down memory lane, sitting in my grandfather's green Ford Ranger. I scarfed it down, but well... I was disappointed. The bread was so hard that it almost scratched the roof of my mouth. The cheese was just bland, not bursting with flavor, and the salami and pepperoni slices had no flavoring to them at all. I think the only thing that saved it was the hot peppers that I added. To make matters worse, I also noticed the bathrooms were dirty, which is never a good sign. I also felt very slow and sluggish afterward. I don't think food is supposed to do that; food is supposed to give you energy, not slow you down. I do not recommend this place for a sub at all. I'd rather get one from a pizza shop or even Sheetz--and I think all Sheetz food tastes like cardboard, but that's just me. I hope my review helps you decide where to get your sub next! read more

We just had a turkey and Swiss grinder here. It was big enough that my husband and I split it. The bread was terrific and the filling was sufficient. Staff and other guests hospitable and helpful. Casual ambience. Restrooms were clean. read more

Top tier sub shop in the Capital region. This place is NO FRILLS, so don't come expecting Jersey Mikes. It's dingy and grimy like a great sub shop should present! Corned beef is fire! G8 is gangster! Danish ham with spicy mustard hits hard! Go hungry, you won't be sorry! read more

Very good sandwiches, but a little pricey in my opinion. I don't go often, as I'm on SS, but it is a big portion.

Amazing deli sandwich. Their corned beef is made in house and is basically as perfect as you can get.

Where is the meat? Been getting subs at Sandwich Man for over 20 years and has always been my first recommendation for the best subs around until now. This is the second time I got subs there with very little meat and way to many onions as a filler. Gave them a second chance and again disappointed again. I gave them a 2 star rating because the rolls are good. read more

Dear lord. I got the G8 Grinder and it was heaven. The bacon was perfectly crispy. Turkey was plentiful. Veggies were fresh and the bread, boooooooom. Great bread choice, toasty and wonderful. Run to this tiny hole in the wall. It's worth every penny!!! (Don't worry... it's reasonably priced) read more

I don't care how good the sandwiches are. When you are treated like you are an inconvenience for coming in at a little before 4pm and ordering, it makes you not wanna come back anymore. Then you ask "can I add 2 pickles" and you're answered with "I guess" is pretty shitty. Poor customer service. Won't be returning. Such a shame never used to be like this. read more

They have been using the freshest ingredients for years! Their subs are beyond compare.

A Harrisburg, staple! if you're looking for fancy decor, this isn't your place. If you're looking for a fresh well-made sub or sandwich, head over to the sandwich man. It's been a few years since I've been here, but my manager and I were looking for a quick lunch before getting back on the road. I ordered half of a turkey sub which was as large as a sub that you would get in a pizza shop. The turkey was fresh, the toppings were flavorful, and it was certainly more than I could eat. My manager ordered the half of a tuna sub and enjoyed it. Although there was a line, they crank the food out quickly. read more

Never a disappointment. I havent been to this location in years and decided I needed a good ol sandwich man sub today. Definitely a good choice. I got the G9 and my friend got a 3 meat sub! AMAZING AS ALWAYS read more

Sandwiches are decent sized but nothing special. We got the roast beef grinder and the house made pastrami. The pastrami was definitely better. The only bread option is a fluffy white roll (I do not consider fluffy to be a complement when it comes to bread). There are a few tables outside, which is nice for those of us traveling with a dog!) read more

I liked this place. Friendly folks, huge sandwiches, quick service. What more could anyone ask for?

Best subs around. I could eate there everyday. Great services, friendly service. We are lucky to have this place around.

I have loved this place for decades but the last few times have been very disappointing. Our egg salad sub lacked egg salad and the bacon was so tough I couldn't chew it! This has always been my favorite but I can make better so i will. Will try a grinder before it's three strikes and you're out! read more

First time visit. My review is for the Italian sub. Amazing!!! Best Italian sub I've had in decades. The large version, which I got, is expensive, but the sub was huge (16") and stuffed with meats, cheese, and LTO, on a traditional hoagie roll that was fresh. The restaurant itself is cozy, although my order was to go, and the staff were very friendly. If you're an Italian sub lover you must try this place!!! read more

Grinders are grade A best around in central PA. Hole in the wall that doesn't care. Just awesome sandwiches.

Been to this place 4 times and the last 3 experiences was not anything to brag about. I ordered a classic Italian sub and when I opened it the bread had the consistency of a crouton and they always skimp on the meat!! Why do I keep trying to fool myself with this place. read more

Sandwich Man feels like classic Central PA food, and I'm not sure how else to describe it. Their sandwiches are always excellent, and the vibes of the restaurant always capture that feeling of a deli that Harrisburg has just always lacked in the suburbs. It's a good sandwich in a city not really known for a lot of great sandwich places, and I hope more people check it out. read more

Love the hoagies... been stopping there for years every time I am in the area! My wife loves them too read more

Be specific about how you want your sandwich prepared. They did not have wheat beard , but the bread they used was thick cut and the sliced turkey they used on my sandwich was amazing!!! read more

A definite win for super large subs and filling sandwiches. My favorite is the Hot pastrami on rye. The pastrami is the perfect cut and flavor. Only wish it was served on NY rye, not soft bakery rye. Otherwise, love it! Try their deli pickles too! Make sure you say "Hello" to Bob! read more

Always the best sandwiches are built right full of meat, lettuce and tomato and a darn good taste always fresh

Best subs in town hands down!!... but did you know they have sandwiches too? I know, they're called sandwich man...duh. But really, I never thought to order a sandwich here but boy am I glad I did. I tried their tuna on toast with bacon, cheese, lettuce and tomato. Largest sandwich I've ever had! Took me two days to eat it! Loved it. Can't wait to get it again. One star was taken off for location and eat-in area. It is what it is although it's a non issue for me. I usually do take out. Maybe next time you go the "Sandwich" Man, try a sandwich and see what you think? read more

I always love the cheese grinders I get here. Even though I live in Texas, I make sure I come here every year that I come back to the Northland at least once. You just can't find subs like these down South. Typically I bring others with me who love them too. It's a family affair! read more

The best sandwiches around! Prices are decent but you get so much more than you pay for.

Best sandwiches! Step back in time, at this gem of a sandwich spot. The sandwiches are fresh and tasty good. The restaurant is super clean, nostalgic and gives comfortable vibe with wooden floors and original decor, furnishings and fixtures from perhaps the 1950's. Time stops and lets you rewind when you step in. Real baked turkey and terrific coleslaw on my turkey Russian dressing sandwich. Open kitchen adds to a charming, old world visit where the friendly staff make fresh food great! Excellent stop off Rt 81 if you are hungry! If I lived in area, it would be a fav top lunch spot. read more

Always stop when near, the best sandwiches...and the bread omg, got it toasted over the top great

Love love love! Always fantastic food, great service. Their bread is so good and the meat:bread ratio is always perfection.

Love this place and its feel and service. Its a Family Go to with the memories attached.

Take a drive to Sandwich Man on Allentown Blvd you won't be disappointed..Very good subs, they make them the way you like them. Excellent service too! read more

Every time I come home to Harrisburg this is my first stop. They are the best!! You can't go wrong.

Pretty disappointed on this visit. We were visiting family and have not had a sammie in well over 10 years. Well, first off, the counter person taking my order over the phone could not figure out how to add two bottles of water to my order. Next we ordered a large sub with no May and oil & vinegar, salt & pepper. When we got home, the sub was dry. Plus the "fresh-made daily" bread was dry and crumbly. I would like to blame this on lunch hour but think this may not be the case. I mean, the sandwich was still edible but we had to finish making the sub that we we ordered it, at home. Plus, there was no water when we got home. read more

I have been going to the Sandwich Man since the first one opened in the first location on Second Street in downtown Harrisburg and it was always one of the best subs in town with a lot of meat and cheese. I got a roast beef sub today from the location on Rte 22 (the downtown location is now closed) and it cost me over $20 and there was so little meet in the sandwhich I could hardly tell it was roast beef. This is a real shame. That's the last time I go there. read more

Kitchen and bathroom were filthy. Food was bland and tasteless. Staff seemed miserable and were not pleasant. It was a shame as we heard such great things about this place. Will not be back. read more

I'm a regular customer, ordered a Reuben and food weekly, it was one of the worse ever, next to the one that the bread wasn't toasted, this one was cold and the bread was burnt on both side, that was all I could taste, asked for my money back or a discount, an employee said bring the sandwich back, I live 25 miles away in a hotel with no fridge, I just ate the corn beef, not making me whole because "people may want a free sandwich," quoting the owner, so this was worth losing a customer who spends at $1500 a year there? read more

Good sandwiches with the best breads. This place is always packed. I called ahead and still waited in the line of 5-6 people ahead of me and took at least 15 mins to get my order and pay. I wished they made another line of just picking up. The place like I said gets pretty crowded so calling ahead is a good idea. I got the super combo which is like an Italian sub and added hot peppers. It was juicy and messy and big and every was falling out towards the end but it was good and filling. Can't beat a filling lunch for under $9. Will come back again soon to fix my sandwich cravings. If you're a fan of their bread, they have a table by the door that they sell these day old 3 foot long rolls for 40 cents. Can't beat that! read more

You know in Jurassic Park when they extract the DNA out of the mosquito to make other dinasours. This is the place that all other sub shops need to extract their DNA from to have great subs. Friendly customer service, fresh bread, quality meats, no frills establishment and boom, great subs. The G9 is my favorite. I have been coming here for decades and never gotten a bad sandwich or felt ripped off. Kudos to the management and staff. read more

Subs are good and I know a lot of people love Sandwich Man but I had a few sanitary issues in the past with hair in my food and the man who was making the sandwiches was dripping sweat into them, yuck! However, I have heard since Covid that they're much more conscious of cross contamination and cleanliness. I tried them again recently, I had an egg salad sandwich on toast, it was good. The food had gone up in price significantly but my husband and coworker still love it, so that says something! read more
