Tasty lil' simple sandwich shop. After circling the block, I got lucky and snagged a street parking spot right in front. Thankfully there wasn't a line at 11:20a and only waited a few minutes until food was ready. The bread has a slightly sweet taste and served slightly toasted which is nice. Glad I stopped by after being released from Jury Duty; only a 4 min drive from the Lubbock Courthouse. read more

I stopped in here on the way back to my hotel since it's right in the middle of downtown. It was pretty busy and seemed to get a lot of local traffic. I overheard someone mention that it was actually slower than usual because of the holiday, so I can only imagine how packed this place gets during the regular season. I ended up checking it out after reading on Yelp that they bake their bread fresh every morning, which definitely caught my attention. They also had these big cookies that looked amazing. Everyone in front of me was buying them, but I skipped dessert this time and just went with a sandwich. The sandwich was really good. I liked the spread they used and the combination of lettuce, olives, and oil and vinegar. Everything tasted fresh and well put together. Service was great too. I got my sandwich quickly even with the line moving steadily. They also have a wide selection of chips and plenty of drink options, including bottled drinks and fountain sodas. I'm not sure when I'll be back in the area, but if I am, I would definitely stop in again. read more

Zero's Sandwich Shop - Sandwiches Near Me - Houston, Texas

No nonsense busy little sandwich shop in downtown Houston. Expect large crowds at lunchtime but they keep it moving. Sandwiches are good and the large is able to be split between two people or one really hungry person. The sandwiches are very similar to Schlotsky's. read more

Sandwich was delicious, service was quick and friendly. Place gets slammed during the lunch rush and then they close so come early. The bread is different than your typical sandwich bread and holds up well under the weight of the toppings. read more

Zero's Sandwich Shop - Ham and Cheese on the menu! - Sandwiches Near Me - Houston, Texas

Located on the floor level of a parking garage in downtown. Quite unassuming interior and seems fairly low key. Their sandwich reminds me of Schlotsky's and although the ingredients are simple, the package actually works. Unfortunately they have no sides besides bagged chips and no drinks besides fountain drinks/ canned drinks, the sandwich is pretty tasty and not overpriced for downtown. There is no service, think of the service like a McDonald's. read more

Was staying at a hotel around the corner and was drawn to this spot when I saw its high yelp rating and price range. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed with my experience and don't feel the need to eat here again. First the positive. Employees here were super friendly and helpful. The employees I interacted with seemed to enjoy being at work. The ambiance was fine. Have a small business Subway vibe and seems like the kind of spot people go to on their lunch break. The food is where I was dissatisfied. I ordered the Ruben and there was not only nothing special about it but it was probably one of the worse Rubens I had ever eaten. Too much sauce and even though it was cheap, I'd rather spend more money and be satisfied with my meal than save money and be subjected to this type of food. I know I'm in the minority but I cannot and will not recommend this spot. read more

Good tasting sandwich, but desperately needed more meat. I had the roast beef with everything on it. I give them a B.

One of my favorite go to lunch spots. Their small zero sandwich is so filling and my go to. I believe they make their own bread there and it is always so warm and fluffy yet crisp and flavorful. They are very quick once you order and everyone there is always so friendly. It can get a little bit crowded during peak time, but it's nothing too crazy. I normally get my sandwich to go. It's always very clean. Overall if I'm wanting comfort food, this is where I go. read more

Came here with my wife, service was extremely fast & pleasant. The store was clean & the ac felt nice. I got the Ruben she got the zero & both were incredible for about 20$ total with drinks & chips. Highly recommend read more

Zero's is located in Downtown next to all the enormous corporate buildings and offices. One of my mentors showed me the place, and we ate lunch here. It is super affordable and fast. You can get a sandwich, drink, and chips for less than $11, and it only takes about five minutes despite there always being a rush at lunch time. I always get the smoked turkey cheese, ans it's consistent and fresh. There's a sign outside that says something along the lines of the bread making the sandwich good, and I agree. The bread is crispy on the edges and soft in the center. Overall, if you want a fresh and cheap lunch, this is the place to go. read more

This little sandwich shop is simply one of the best places in downtown to eat. Service is friendly & quick and the food is ALWAYS superb. Prices are very respectable as well. read more

Zero's Sandwich Shop - Smoked turkey and cheese - Sandwiches Near Me - Houston, Texas

Love this downtown sandwich shop!! It's similar to Schlotzskys, but with better bread! Everyone mentions the bread and there's a reason for it...little bit of a crust on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. I've had most things on the menu, sandwiches and pizzas for the most part, the Zero sandwich is my jam! The food is great and the owner is even better....he Never forgets a face and he always has something funny to say. My only complaint is that all locations are downtown, and the hours are designed around daily work times...10:30 am to 2:00 pm mon- fri, closed on weekends :( it gets packed during lunch!!! I'd love to see this place expand outside of downtown and have longer open hours...maybe one day ‍ read more

Much better than Subway or other sandwich shops. There is always a line because the sandwich is that good. The sandwich buns reminds me of torta. I love their sandwich and its well balanced sandwich with the right amount of bread and the filling. The sandwich is also selling at the right price. Got the Turkey Ham Cheese It was so good! Tip: go little earlier than noon to avoid long line. The line move pretty fast though Follow me on Instagram: Willeatfood read more

i can't get over how good these sandwiches are. the outside of the bread has a perfect crispness and the inside is soft and buttery. perfect ratio of meat/cheese/toppings. because it's warm, it's so hearty and satisfying. think schlotzkys, but way better. just an FYI, since not on the board, their toppings are: mayo, lettuce, tomato, onion, and olives. overall, i swear this place is my main motivation for going back into the office. read more

Used to work downtown years and years ago and had very fond memories of this place. Was going thru town and decided to give it a try for old times sake. Just as I remembered it. Fantastic fresh bread with a hint of toasty crunch on top and excellent fillings. Kind of hidden away but definitely worth the effort to find it. read more

The sandwiches are amazingly good and affordable I definitely recommend other to Ty this place read more

Sometimes in life you stumble upon a place that makes the best damn sandwich you've ever eaten. And that place is Zero's Sandwiches. Seriously. They arrive at 6:30am to make their bread fresh daily. Every single bite of this sandwich is so fresh, light, amazing and delicious that you will end up going back often. When food is made with love and you can taste it there is nothing better. Right now I'm only going twice a week but it could be more. How did this healthy obsession start you ask? One day a coworker had a Zero's sandwich in the kitchen common area and it smelled amazing. So I asked him where he picked up this yummy smelling sandwich and he said Zeros and he said they have been in business since 1978. I knew in that moment that I would try it one day but I didn't know how soon. Fast forward to a power outage at my usual lunch food court - One Allen Center - that prompted me to choose something different - something outside our building. So I thought to myself, I said self...what a wonderful opportunity to try Zero's today. So I did. And I've been recommending this place to someone every single day ever since. I've picked up a handful of menus and pass them out all the time because I want more people to try the best of the best. They also offer catering....and last minute catering at that. So now I patiently wait for another meeting to be setup at work so that I can order catering from them and I can once again enjoy the Zero's sandwich (without olives). Yes I know they have other choices like Turkey and Cheese, Roast Beef, Veggie, Reuben, etc. but I've only branched out to try their pizza which every bite is also A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! The pizza is small personal pan size with thin crust. Please take a look at my pictures. Try it. You'll love it and you'll thank me. So you're welcome in advance. Have a great day! read more

A staple in the houston down town lunch scene. Friendly family run business that offers a great sandwich for an even better price.

I love Zero's going back to their days on Aldine Bender and Greenspoint. It's the bread. But be aware, if you order from DoorDash, you won't get the same sandwich. You get a small hoagie instead that isn't close to filling as the Original typically is. It was still ok but I was disappointed. read more

This place is right by my office i love to come here all the time they never disappoint!!!

Zero's Sandwich Shop is only open for lunch, 12-1:30 so it's a tight window. Located downtown, you're stuck finding parking on the street unless you work in the area. I was lucky enough to find a spot nearby and got my order to go. The interior looks like your typical sandwich shop, nothing fancy. The restaurant was almost full, it's a great spot for a quick meal. The menu is minimal but they make a damn good sandwich. In addition to their sandwiches, they recently started serving pizza. The best way i can describe the sandwiches is to compare them to Schlotzsky's. Circular, thick bread is used and you have the choice of small or large. Of course, the sandwich is better than Schlotzsky's but it's a good starting point. I got the ham, turkey, and cheese sandwich which comes with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, olives, and mayo. The large is more than enough to fill you up and they also sell Zapp's chips. If you've never had Zapp's, they're from Louisiana and quite good. I got the voodoo chips which are basically a mix of salt and vinegar and BBQ chips. The story is someone who worked at Zapp's accidentally dropped five spices and decided to use the mixture as the flavoring for a potato chips flavor. Whether this is a tall tale or not, the chips are great and give you the opportunity to practice dark magic. read more

A hole in the wall gem tucked into downtown! They're only open for lunch, but they make a great option during the work week. I tried the classic zeroes sandwich (like a classic Italian but with olives) and it was delicious. The bread is insane! It's got a slight toasty crunch on the outside but is so fluffy and soft once you bite into it. It reminds me of torta bread. They definitely don't skimp you on the fillings either - I was stuffed after finishing my sandwich. The prices are great for the amount of food you get. read more

This place is the definition of a hidden gem, worth a thousand stars or more. I had their turkey sandwich and it was so good. The bun was nicely toasted and all the flavors came together beautifully. They also stock zapp's chips, which are my favorite. In addition to flavor, They have impeccable customer service and create such a personal relationship with their customers. When I walked into the shop the women working the register was having a conversation with a customer and it seemed like we were home. While we were eating the shop owner offered us candy and talked to us and told my friend he was proud of us for going to school and to keep going. So sweet. When we left, he let me have some free coffee which I really needed that day. This shop hit the jackpot in taste and owners. You have to support this cute local business. read more

All I can say is Yummy yummy in my tummy Taste, bread and portion was really good Highly recommend read more

Zero's Sandwich Shop - two people standing at a counter - Sandwiches Near Me - Houston, Texas

Great sandwiches and chips at a great price. The other reviewers are right on the mark. Zero's has a better Schlotskys original sandwich (the "Zero"). The bread is incredible. Zeros also carries delicious Zapp's potato chips. I prefer the crawtator chips. Zeros offers several different sandwiches, but I always get a Zero, chips and drink. The location has tables that fill quickly. My office is only a block and a half away, but I find that I can easily eat my meal at this location and be back at my desk within a half hour. Great alternative to Subway and Schlotzskys. read more

Amazing sandwiches for a very reasonable price. This place seems to cater towards office workers in downtown since it's only open during the weekdays. It gets PACKED during lunch time, but service is decently fast. You order at the counter and it's brought out to your table. I had the Zero sandwich which had ham, salami, lettuce tomato, mustard and mayo. It was delicious! This and the turkey and cheese are supposedly their best-sellers. What makes this sandwich different from other sandwiches is the bread. It's warm and toasted, so it's crispy on the outside and fluffy and soft on the inside. So good! I will definitely be back. read more

This is my new favorite place off of Dallas street in Houston! Super clean, warm and welcoming. I am always looking for a good Rueben sandwich and I have found my place. My friend had a Turkey melt with chips and a drink. The shop maintains a great customer service vibe and their staff where fast. When we arrived their was a line coming out the shop but since the place had great reviews I was willing to risk being late to work. The line moved fast and I was able to enjoy my meal at the sandwich shop with plenty of time to spare. We will be using them for all our catering needs! read more

Such solid sandwiches and awesome service. Order at the counter and they bring out your food kind of place. Menu is relatively straightforward, but their sandwiches come out fresh and hot. The bread is toasted in some oil, making it so crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their choices. I've also heard their cookies are amazing but did not partake this time around. Definitely a lunch spot and since downtown parking is a pain, this spot is designed for office workers willing to walk outside for a sandwich. Seating is surprisingly easy given how small and busy the place is, but I guess people don't tend to stick around too long past the lunch hour. read more

Original location!!! Fresh ingredients, friendly staff!! Great first impression! In the heart of downtown, so if you aren't familiar be prepared because parking is limited. Very mom & pop feel as I walked in. Staff is super friendly and helped me with the most requested items on the menu. As I waited for my food people from all over were stopping in for a bite! Very popular lunch spot downtown. They are known for their bread. It's similar to Schlotzsky's bread (which I'm a HUGE fan of) Zero's bread is lighter, which is refreshing and not so filling. I ordered turkey and cheese. It was really good. If I'm ever in the area I would definitely come back again and again! read more

Zero's Sandwich Shop - Turkey & cheese! :) - Sandwiches Near Me - Houston, Texas

Pretty decent sandwich for a good price. I've passed by this place for years, obviously before I started using Yelp. After seeing reviews, I decided to try it. They promote that the bread is the difference, and they're right. It's a circular sandwich, kind of like Schlotzsky's. Not a huge selection of sandwiches...maybe around ten basic sandwiches, Turkey, roast beef, etc., and a Reuben. However, the price is right...large sandwich for around $6. Add chips and a drink, and you're still out for under $10. With a downtown devoid of many other options, you really can't go wrong here. read more

I was always hesitant to try this place because it looks like the kind of shop where you better know what you want or get the stink eye. But I was soo wrong. The owner is so nice and when I asked for a recommendation he happily obliged. I ended up getting the Zero which was sooo tasty. The bread is toasted and amazing. Afterwards, I asked the owner if they sell the bread separately because it was so good. Good news, they do! Definitely will come back here when I'm down at the office. read more

Excellent customer service and the food was amazing! It is easy to get too and great location Downtown. The bread is unbelievable. read more

Among the sea of chains Downtown, it's nice to see a local sandwich shop doing some good business among corporate employees. Zero's bread is more akin to a bun in the sense that it's mostly crust, so the bread gets nice and toasty when they heat it up. Even after taking my time to eat the sandwich while catching up with a friend, the bread wasn't soggy even down to the last bite. I ordered a large Zero (turkey and salami, dressed) with chips and a drink - total was less than $9, really affordable! They have daily specials, too, in which their sandwich and pizza combos are discounted. I'm rarely in the *mood* for a sandwich, but if I need a quick bite to eat, Zero's is definitely a solid contender. read more

Zero's Sandwich Shop - Zero and Zapp's Spicy Crawtator chips - Sandwiches Near Me - Houston, Texas

Great place to go for lunch, especially if you work downtown! The placement of this restaurant is clever- it's just off of Smith St and not too far from its sandwich-competitor Jason's Deli. Not a lot of people know about this place, yet it is always busy; the lunch crowd comes in at around 11:30 so try to get in before then- it can be tough to even get a table at times! Back on topic. The food here is delicious- their sandwiches are made with a well-toasted, glazed bun that appears to be a homemade style (the pictures here show it's deliciousness quite well). I can speak for the Zero, the Ham, and the Roast Beef Sandwiches, and all are equally great. One downside, the sandwiches don't fill me up, and I find myself quite hungry a couple hours later. Nonetheless, it's great place for a little "cheat" lunch, and I find myself coming here over Jason's Deli more often than not. read more
