Baked in the store bread make all the difference in a sandwich shop. Steak Sandwich and loaded fries were all great. Well worth a trip.

Tried this place out while I was visiting Fredrick, MD. Great sandwiches! They're huge!!! Very filling and delicious. They also are very clever with the names of their sandwiches. Pretty accommodating with changes to the sandwich. We enjoyed it so much that we went back two days in a row! read more

You can't miss with 7th St. Cafe. The PO Boy fish sandwich is amazing. French fries are terrific. The sandwiches are always fresh and well made. Customer service is always pleasant and they always include a fresh little cookie with your order...a nice touch for sure. read more

Man. This is the best Sandwich shop I've been to. The staff is really polite and caring. The environment was one of the kind, while it being casual it did not give me a sense that I was at a fast food restaurant. The food was amazing, I totally recommend getting the Dr. Zeus sandwich plus you will be delighted by a little surprise. read more

Go there, now. For $10 you get a HUGE sandwich, both affordable and delicious (I had the "Rachel" which is basically a reuben with turkey which did not disappoint) and a big bag of hand-cut fries on the side. Easy to get to off the exit. read more

Great sandwich shop. Quick and made to order. Ordered the chicken pesto and an order of hand cut fries. So delicious! Will definitely go back. read more

Super friendly staff and must have cookie is a nice treat. Always look forward to lunch there when I have enough time to get out :) Ingredients fresh and seems most is home made too boot! Short but sweet yelp! Nothing wrong with that :) read more

I honestly had the best greek salad ever here. Pickled cucumbers and the olive tapenade were an amazing addition. My new go to place for a greek salad. read more

The Big Italian sandwich and the fried green tomatoes were delicious. The Greek salad was good but could have used more lettuce to go with all the great toppings. The onion lashes were too thin and short so you really only tasted the oil and batter. Over all it was a great place, the employees were friendly and it was clean. read more

One friendly staff member. It was a very cold day and it it's not much warmer inside where I chose to eat. I do not enjoy giving such a low rating, but the reason I eat out is not just to try new things, but to eat food better than what I can make at home. In this case my steak and cheese and grilled cheese (two I tried) would dominate theirs. I could make 6x of my steak and cheese and 8x grilled cheese for less $ than what I paid for both sandwiches. This is only one locals opinion though. Maybe others have not been a few blocks over to mackies southern bbq for a sandwich.....but it's all opinions. Best of luck to your shop though. read more

Wow!! Our family tried this place out (twice) over the weekend and no one was dissapointed. 1) For starters the loaded fries are a full meal all on their own. Tried the Carne Asada and the Southwest (both were equally yummy). The Hushpuppies are light and sweet with a wonderful crispy exterior. 2) The sandwiches are some of the best we've ever had. Tried the American CB Hash Fastbreak Board, the Chicken Parm and the Chicken Pesto Short Boards, the Shroomin' Steak (and cheese), and the Godfather, Maverick, and Johnny Utah Long Boards. 3) The mini-chocolate chip cookies are the perfect small sweet bite. Family owned and operated. You can tell they put a lot of love into eveything they do. The beach theme decor is fun. The service is fast and friendly, even when really busy. P.S. The mini-chocolate chip cookie wrapped in the outer sandwich wrapper is such a thoughtful touch! read more

I just don't get it? I've heard that this place was great? I've heard that it was even awesome. . .So when I litterally moved across the street I had to try it! I've given it three tries and all three tries have been absolutely regretable? Three, I hear is no longer a coincidence and actually a pattern! Everything is unnecessarily named 'Boards', so The "Burger Boards", which is a hamburger, is tasty. . . I give them that! Quality meat and tasty homemade bun. But it's shaped like a surfboard (hence the name), so what you have is basically half a burger and the bun that resembles a Biscotti? Wrapped up we actually thought it was the side of pickles we ordered it was so small. And thats $7.50! ! ! Tried the Carne Asada Fries. .good tasty strips of meat on top of fries that are drenched (not exaggerating) in 7-11 type nacho cheese, and I think just a little bit of regular moza sprinkled on top? The fries were salted after cooking, and the nacho cheese sauce was salty as well, so it was just this pasty gook of fries with great carne aside meat on top. I only ate the meat. Also, my wife had the Loaded Veggie Fries. She looked at it and didn't eat any of it. Same pasty muck of fries at the bottom, and then veggies that were just the condiments from the sandwiches? Thinly sliced round tomatoes, some rings of onions and I think corn? Couldn't really tell through the nacho cheese sauce? Very salty!! Ok, also another time tried the Roast Beef Sandwich. I think they called it a Long Board? It was a yummy Hoagie style loaf, freshly baked apparently. . .very good! But, I opened it up and could actually see all the way to the bottom to the other side of bread? I counted 3 strips (not slices) of roast beef, a ton of chopped lettuce, tomatoes, and onions! Remember, I can see all the way to the bottom bread through the ingredients! I think it was $8.95! I'm not a hater! I normally don't write these reviews! But this food is not even close to college drunk food! It's definitely not worth the money, and not worth your time! And I've tried three times! I have to add one more gripe. . .the interior design is "not flattering". . . is that a good way to put it? Its Beach themed. Children's painted murals on the walls, uncomfortable hard benches, and wires and cables everywhere! Just not very appetizing. I'm sorry about this part. . .it really is just a gripe about the interior design. If the food were tasty, it would go unnoticed and I would just get it to go! To each his style. I wish them luck. . . the bread is tasty, albeit VERY small for the sake of making it look like a surfboard! Mark (findmarkem@hotmail.com) read more

Ordered a NY Pastrami w/provolone. No noticeable cheese present. They remade my sandwich, but still no cheese present. Since when is cheese more expensive than meat? At least at Subway you can actually see the slices of cheese. read more

One of my favorite go to places to eat in Frederick. Sandwiches are awesome. They are stacked high and aren't cheap on the meat. Bread is awesome. I love their summer salad. Everything I've had has been very good. Excellent home made cookies. Oh and the hush puppies are delicious. No real negatives. As far as a sandwich place goes, they have a great variety and do everything well. read more

Overall I thought it was average. We got the veggie southwest loaded fries, the fried green tomatoes, and the veggie gyro. The loaded fries were decent covered with some melted cheese, black beans and fresh veggies. The veggie gyro was not was I was expecting. It was a sandwich bread instead of a pita which was interesting. The bread, while not what I expected, was very good- fresh and crunchy and warm. The fried green tomatoes were good and not overly fried and oily, but were not super flavorful. Overall it was a decent find but nothing over the top. read more

This sandwich shop is pretty tasty. The "theme" isn't really my style with the surf shack thing but the food is pretty good. Can take a little long to make but that's ok because I like my food fresh. They also have a Hood student discount which is nice since I usually run here after work right before my classes. read more

Stopped here on a whim and were pleasantly surprised! Outstanding sandwiches for our whole crew ( seven people, seven different sandwiches) and zero complaints from anyone, which is in itself some kind of bizarre anomaly. Well worth a stop! read more

Great sandwiches! Anything here is good. And the fries are fresh cut delicious! Love the little cookies they pack in each sandwich. !!

Definitely does not look like much but I just love the Chicken Pesto and the hush puppies. I have never been disappointed by a sandwich there. read more

Went in to order 5 lunches to go. First ordered a buffalo chicken salad with no blue cheese or ranch dressing and balsamic on the side. Ordered four other sandwiches, two without onions. They put the order all in a bag and handed it to my sister and we walked out. Clearly I should have checked the order. The salad I ordered was made into a buffalo chicken sandwich that they put balsamic and ranch on. Oddly no other sandwich toppings. Just chicken drenched in 3 dressings and bread. Both sandwiches that we requested no onion had onion. They clearly struggled taking an order correctly. Won't be going back. read more

Ok. Disclaimer. I do not know these guys. I was not paid to write a review. This is my honest opinion. Now time for a quick history. I am an a hole food and especially sandwich snob from Baltimore. Review: This place is awesome. Holy mother Mary, this place kicks many sandwich chops into the wind then blows them away. The inside is caribe, beach, surf, chill. It is relaxing and casual. The sandwich menu is off of the chain. I got the Ruben. Totally open faced Ruben. I was skeptical, because bad Rubens ruin my vibe. This Ruben was great. Good sauce, good meat, good bread, good everything. It was put together and plated nicely. Portions were perfect without any ingredient overpowering the other. Only seasoned sandwich makers can make this. This guy was on point. I met Brendan (I hope I spelled it right) He asked me how my sandwich was. I told him, shook his hand and left. I highly recommend this place, before any other that I have seen in Frederick. The experience was like Anton Ego at Gustoffs. Rock on guys. read more

Omg...yum. I've been in this shopping center a dozen times and never known this existed. I assumed it was Chinese take out since all it says on the front is "Carry Out", you have to be in front to see the small sign in the window that reads "7th street sandwich shop". Me being the yelper that I am, while I was grabbing a Starbucks next door...decided to Yelp this place. Boy was I glad I gave this place a try. The decor reminds me a dingy beach shop, complete with 80's beach music...but don't let that stop you. The service is great, but the menu was too long...they could probably cut it in half! I'd check their menu out online before you go. I saw the open-faced Reuben on Yelp and just asked for that and the hush puppies. Oh...em...gee....so good!!! The hush puppies were soft and full of flavor...good portion, I couldn't finish by myself and the sandwich was huge! I could have easily shared it and been perfect. I hated to leave it unfinished as it was so yummy. The thousand island sauce was very good. I will definitely be taking my husband with me another time to share a bite with me! I also love that they have a selection of drinks in glass bottles. read more

See all

The sandwiches were yummy, creative, and flexible. Nice texture in the bread. But the coffee came late and cold. When I complained that the coffee was cold - it was around noon - I got the question: "how hot would you like it"? Not I'll make a fresh pot or Sorry I'll heat it. It came back lukewarm and I gave up. read more

My wife and i have decided to look for a good sandwich place in Frederick. After reading reviews on Yelp of local places, went here and we voted that hands down its the BEST sandwich shop in Frederick. The subs are awesome. We will deffinately make this our sub spot. I preffer this place over Beef n Buns. read more

One of the best sandwich places in Frederick! I had the cowabunga sandwich and it was fabulous! Also the fries are pretty good too..

Online ordering was easy, once you've placed your order online and selected your timeslot it's very quick and very convenient. I had the buffalo chicken salad, my wife had the southwest salad, and the rest of my family had sandwiches. Delicious, would definitely go back there again. Highly recommend this for takeout. read more

We give this place a chance for lunch every so often. The times we have been there the sandwiches are pretty good. BUT... The service is consistently slow, probably the slowest in town, especially around lunch time. This last time we called @ 1115 to order a sandwich and two salads and was told it would be ready at noon, which honestly seemed too long to me but we had some other errands to run so it should have worked fine. When we arrived we were told no less than 3 times that they were sorry but the order still wasn't ready. At around 1250 I went up a last time to cancel the order and they finally called our name. The staff were courteous, but I think this was probably our last time visiting here especially since there are many other good lunch options a little ways away downtown. read more

Here from Boston for a college tour. We wanted a quick sandwich shop and found 7th Street Sandwich on Yelp. The people were friendly and attentive. My daughter has a peanut allergy and they were thorough in making certain everything was safe for her. Our sandwiches/wraps, hush puppies and onion leashes were delicious! The whole family was happy including our picky 10 year old who declared that her BLT was, "the best ever"! read more

So glad we found this place. The food was great. Fries like on the boardwalk, with vinegar and Old Bay available! Hush puppies were awesome and so were the onion strings. Staff is SUPER friendly. We will absolutely be coming here again! read more

Ordered the steak and cheese. Fries were extra. Great sandwich. Large portion and had excellent flavor. Not too many onions, it was just enough to add flavor. Lots of folks coming in for carry out, not many sat down. The bread was fresh and a perfect compliment to the steak. The fries were too salty and just didn't taste as good. One person posted about the tea, and I agree. The Gold Peak tea smelled funny and tasted horrible. Fanta Burch beer was a satisfying replacement. I will be back. read more

Awesome sandwich spot for lunch. Had a good selection with great quality, and quick and friendly service. Prices are more than fair considering the amount of food and size of the sandwich. read more

Sandwiches are big and taste fine. The french fries are the best thing available. Menu can be a bit overwhelming with all of the themed names. Music is very loud and cleanliness is a little lacking. The teenagers working the counter are kinda ambivalent and don't really seem to care. I did like the little cookie that was wrapped up with your sandwich and thought it was a really cute touch. read more

OMG-this place's food is AMAZING. I went for the first time today and I was so impressed. The bread is soft and delicious and the sandwich is huge. Terrific place. Highly recommended! 5 out of 5 read more

Love this place! Great sandwiches, cheap beer and a huge menu.

I don't know what took me so long to try this place because I live right around the corner. It was amazing!! I ordered a chopped salad with breaded chicken tenders and it was so far above and beyond what I was expecting. I just wondered in here one day when I was on my way home and holy cow. The salad has the standard mixed greens and other salad stuff, but then they add pickled veggies and tons of other colorful things that make it delicious. Can you tell I didn't really know what was going on because I was eating it so fast? My only complaint is that it wasn't actually *chopped* like most chopped salads. But the flavor was so good I don't care. I can't wait to try more!! read more

Freaking amazing hole-in-the-wall! No review could even come close to describing how fresh and tasty their subs are! I appreciate the great customer service and the tiny little surprise cookie that they sneak into the wrapper on your sandwich. And...they have HUSH PUPPIES, the good kind, too. Just take my word for it and eat here. You won't be disappointed. read more

Heard good things about this place and decided to pop in for carryout. It took about 5-10 minutes in line to reach the counter and even get a look at menu. Placed an order for a steak & cheese. It took over 25 minutes to get my sandwich. And, no the place was not packed. Got home a found a tiny cookie covered in grease wrapped in with the sub. Took a bite...great bread, tender steak, no cheese and really strong onions. Swing and a miss. When you go to grab a sandwich for lunch carry out you want tasty food, quick at a reasonable price. They have some work to do. read more

Stopped here on the way up 15 for a quick bite. Great service and great food. The surprise cookie and beach theme is pretty great as well. Definitely going to keep it in mind in my future travels. read more

Got a hankering for a cheesesteak today. after living in Philadelphia for 40+ years, and getting used to the offerings, it took a while to find something here in Frederick that was even close. Tried Jersey Mike and a string of pizza shops - nyah. But hidden in the Safeway plaza, across from Hood college's field there is this nondescript little gem. They need a bigger sign, and some attention to the interior decor, but the food is good and the people friendly. I had the mushroom cheesesteak, known as a "Shroomie", and it was as good as the average in Phila. Not quite Dallesandro's, but better than anyone else in Frederick county so far. The meat was flavorful, and plentiful; there was a good portion of mushrooms and some fried onion along with swiss cheese. Quite tasty. My wife (a Philadelphia native) had a regular cheesesteak, and gave it a thumbs-up. Yes, it would be great if they could get better steak rolls - something with a firm crust and a bit of chew. And one might find an occasional tough spot in the meat, but might not. But those are tiny flaws, and not enough to keep us from going back for more. They also have a full menu of sandwiches, soup and salad. A great little family owned business that is NOT a chain. read more

Great sandwiches. Bread is always fresh and the subs are pilled high with meat and toppings. Can't go wrong with this spot for lunch.
