Immediately was welcomed when I walked in by the friendly and down to earth staff. Our sandwiches were made exactly how we ordered, they tasted fresh and were delicious. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a good deli sandwich! read more

I would recommend, I just moved up this neighborhood so while washing my clothes I wondered into here. Got a BLT and it was delightful so I'll go back for other sandwiches! read more

Our first stop on the way up to Redwood National Park. We came right during the lunch hour. It seems like a favorite local lunch time spot as the staff had a nice stream of phone calls and customers coming in to order sandwiches. Lots of rolls to choose from including sourdough by the slice. I got The Big Turkey, which is your classic BLT with turkey and avocado. My SO got the Dinner Sandwich, which includes roast beef, bacon, smoked Gouda, tomato, lettuce and chipotle aioli. Honestly, can't complain. I'm not going to pretend to be an expert on sandwiches, but ingredients tasted fresh, bread was nice and soft, and there were plenty of fixings to choose from. read more

The greatest Ruben I've ever had. Great sandwiches chips and drinks are all premium brands.

Best thing when entering a sandwich shop: it smells yummy! I was so hungry I forgot to take photos of the sandwiches. Both the pastrami (with added Swiss mustard mayo) and Reubenesque (on rye) hit the spot! Friendly counter service. read more

Best hot pastrami sandwich I've had in like.....a million years. Thank you!!!! I'll be back.

service was poor today, the employ which i am referring to was a new worker which makes me hesitant to leave this review but i ordered a custom sandwich and it took about approximately 15 minutes for me to get through the whole process. to be honest the sandwich it's self was a 5 star but i payed over 15$ and i expect a higher quality of service for that. read more

This was the most incredible sandwich shop I've ever been to my entire life. The sandwich was delectable. Shoutout the two kind women (blonde and black hair) for an exceptional sandwich service experience. The ambience of the restaurant reminded me of walking into the 80s. However, my white friend Ryan started charging his laptop and sending emails in the background. still it was an exceptional experience. read more

Food is good, clean/ low key. I will say that while I was there unfortunately one of managers (?) decided to complain and criticize the young girl making our sandwich over the sandwich bar not being stocked and would not drop it for several minutes. Look I get it, running a business and managing employees can be super stressful however it is really unprofessional and quite frankly unkind to berate your staff (in general) but particularly in front of customers while that employee is essentially "locked in" ( as she was making a sandwich) and can't fully engage or defend themselves. Overall good sandwich shop but this experience was really off putting read more

Best sandwiches with the freshest ingredients and made by great staff. Your search is over!

This was a favorite. We were spending the days hiking with the redwoods nearby and we came here for sandwiches. We enjoyed them enough to come back the next day and repeat the order. Highly recommended. read more

Busy place with phone orders and walk-in customers. At one point in line, four ladies were feverishly creating sandwiches! These are more square sandwiches as opposed to a SUB sandwich, but they also do have rolls. Bread looks ordered fresh and keep in mind they do run out out of certain breads. I like that they already cut the sandwich in half with a paper wrap and then wrap that in another wrap, keeping it neat and tidy. The toppings of shredded carrots, thousand island and horseradish are welcomed. read more

We love central sandwich!!! The employees are amazing and very friendly!!! The food is always fresh and yummy!!!!

They don't have set hours. Showed up at 4:45pm, and it's closed. Yelp says they close at 6pm, and google says 5pm! Obviously they have the small town mentality, and close whenever they want! Don't waste your time here! read more

We are visiting McKinleyville and found this gem. Central Sandwich was just what I was looking for. We pulled up and there was person out front with a mask taking orders. I ordered the Stonehenge and sub-out the pepper jack cheese for the smoked Gouda. I waited in my car and before I knew it, my sandwich was brought to my window. It was delicious !! The perfect amount of insides to bread. The service was great and the sandwich was fabulous - no complaints read more

We have eaten there several times. Servers are courteous and friendly. I have had different sandwiches and they have all been very good. Will go again and try out different sandwiches for a new perspective. read more

Good sandwich with fresh ingredients, made to order. I was visiting the area for the weekend and wanted some simple quick options during my visit. Simple and good! read more

Consistently quality ingredients, always fresh bread, and great service earn the five stars, which I tend to resist unless it is excellent fine dining and this is a sandwich shop, but I want you to know that for a sandwich shop in McKinleyville you are not going to find a better value, nicer people, or a better sandwich. I make a point of tipping really well here. If you tip really (more than 25%), tell them Suzanne sent you. read more

Was a great stop along a work trip. My Veg Out sandwich was delicious, and the fresh sourdough roll was phenomenal. The rest of my group enjoyed their sandwiches, the one who got a BLT noted "they did not skimp on the bacon" so good things all around. If I'm ever back in this area I'll definitely be back. read more

Central Sandwich - Veg Out Kettle Chips & Frito Lay A large selection of Cold Drinks and Cold Bottled Beers - Sandwiches Near Me - Mckinleyville, California

Had lunch here one day. Ordered their version of an Italian sub. I requested extra mayo. Plus I got a small bag of Jalapeño potato chips and a bottle of water. Sandwich was huge, I could not finish the whole thing. While it was filling, it had to much bread. The bread to fillings ratio was not there for me. They do offer choices for bread - I asked the young lady making my sandwich what she recommended - so I took her recommendation for the French Bread. Next time I will ask if there is a bread option with less bread, or failing that, if they can scoop out some of the bread when making the sandwich. There are a few tables to eat inside - which I did. They appear to be popular - there was a steady stream of customers coming in! I'd eat here again. #CentralSandwich read more

This sandwich shop very unfortunately lacks good customer service and is not worth the cost- I won't be back.

Good grief this stuff is good. Fresh, quality bread of all kinds, and a generous heaping of meat, cheeses, and toppings. Just quality. There was one employee who was always gruff/curt on the phone, but he seems to be gone or at least doesn't answer much anymore, and all the ladies are polite, professional, and food is ready pretty quick. The only challenge can be getting through on the phone during busy times, but that's covid for you. Easy 5 stars here! read more

Best sandwich place in town. Nice staff, fresh bread and ingredients, and orders are made on time. The only reason I give 4 stars, is because they can't do toasted sandwiches, which is okay, because they have delicious toasted sandwiches at Chuchi's, their other location. I would highly recommend this business to anyone! read more

Central Sandwich - Delicious cold pastrami with double meat! (The picture doesn't show how huge this sandwich was. ) - Sandwiches Near Me - Mckinleyville, California

They just never do anything wrong. Consistency is key. Have been going here for four years since I moved to McK, and a few times before as a visitor. Meats are fresh, cheeses flavorful. Rolls are fresh, aioli is perfect., and shredded lettuce..yum. Fast clean friendly. I dont know else to emphasize to rate their amazing sandwiches. Yum! read more

If you like a good sandwich you will get one from Central. Made to order for that lunch time hunger.

Always a delicious place to grab a neatly made FRESH sandwich. Just like most places these days, it's a little spendy, but worth the extra few bucks. read more

Central Sandwich - The big turkey!! All the veggies!!! - Sandwiches Near Me - Mckinleyville, California

Been here a few times now and it is very consistent. Some of the best sandwiches around - a small shop with walk up counter service - your sandwich is made fresh to order in front of you. A large menu board with several house special sandwiches/wraps, as well as a build your own sandwich chart option. You can literally create pretty much any type of sandwich or wrap you could want and its always prepared fresh to order for you. I recently had the Smokestack on sour dough - a generous portion of smoked turkey, with smoked gouda, fresh avocado, a chipotle aoili, with lettuce and tomato and a little s&p. This is a huge sandwich and it is more than enough food to split between two people. There are a variety of bottle craft beers, craft sodas and ciders, etc are in the drink case by the counter and there is also a large assortment of bagged chips, etc. The sandwiches are not the cheapest in town, but they are large enough to split. A solid sandwich place that opens at 11 am daily and one of the best places around on the north end of the bay. Call ahead to avoid a wait. 00172 read more

Good service. Could use a bit more meat on my wrap but the food is always good. Would recommend.

Did we give up on cleaning? God this place has been going down hill. Very dirty everywhere. Ingredients used are getting worse and worse as well. Wish they used the same quality and care as chuchies in eureka which is owned by the same person. Also why no toaster? Toasted bread is much better and more time efficient then the oven toaster. Sandwich takes 10-12 minutes to make with oven toaster vs just a regular toaster. Oven toaster makes the bread dry and unevenly cooked. read more

The sandwich's here are really good.. and I love to support a local business. They have vegan options such as the local tofu shop tofu and vegannaise And the people working are always really nice. My only complaint was the woman making my sandwich wasn't wearing gloves and I saw my avocado get mashed in her fingernails and then spread in my sandwich. I saw boxes of gloves behind the counter just wondering why it's not being enforced. Maybe I'm more of a germaphobe now since Covid but it just seemed a little gross. read more

So the sandwiches are pretty good but the service really isn't great. Anytime you call in the phone is ALWAYS busy. It's crazy to me when a business won't invest in a second line option when the phone is consistently busy. Also the girls working are never really friendly and once you can place an order you then have to deal with not so great service. Honestly if the phone lines actually were useful and the employees nicer the rating on this would be way higher. But when you charge 12 or more for a sandwich not including the sides or drinks the service expectations need to be met. Overall it's not good enough for the hassle and I don't really recommend this stop read more

I'll be honest, the menu items are awesome and this place was one of my favorite sandwich shops (when I could afford it). However, the past 2 times I have gone in to place an order, there have been no enforcement of masks for the employees. The first time two out of the four sandwich makers had masks below their nose, one low enough I could see her mouth while she talked. So I called once I walked out asking to speak with a manager. Once I got a manager on the phone, I asked if there were masking guidelines for their employees, and she answered yes. Didn't look like it to me.... The second time I came in, which was just 10 minutes ago, one employee was able to walk in announcing she was on break not wearing a mask at all. Fortunately, the other two employees working were wearing their masks properly, but there was zero reinforcement of the mask safety guidelines. I don't think I can continue to feed my family from here in good conscience. It's a shame, they were my favorite place, even if they were high priced! read more

Very friendly and efficient service, and we enjoyed roast beef and tuna salad sandwiches. Everything tasted fresh and delicious! We love supporting our local businesses and this will now be our go to sandwich shop! read more

Is it really possible for a sandwich joint to be five stars? YES. We arrived just as they opened to get some sandwiches for a hike in the redwoods. My sandwich was crazy good and while it was nothing super complicated, it was high quality fresh ingredients that made it so delicious. They were super friendly and happily bagged up napkins and such as they knew we were not saying there to eat. The sandwiches are generously portioned and might be a bit much for a regular lunch (for a lunch mid-hike, they were wonderful - and I'll admit, I was full before I finished but it was so good that I couldn't not finish it). Don't miss if you're in town! read more

Met Larry D on Redwood Creek after spending a few nights on the gravel eating nuts, and he said to give Central Sandwich a try. Wow, was he right! The red head who made our sandwiches was an absolute pro, and we loved what she created! The rye was so fresh, and the meat and cheese hot and melty. All I can say is thank you! We'll be back before the trees add a couple of feet!! See you guys on the river, Larry D! read more
