There's something about a great simple sandwich that makes things feel right. This is a place we've had on our list for quite a hike as it was rated as one of the top places for a sandwich. My husband ordered pastrami and I ordered a Cuban. The bread is fantastic. It's crispy outside and soft in the center. The meat portion was perfect as were the condiments. This is a great place to relax. The service is excellent. It's cash only but they do have an ATM. read more

Great deli, I ordered the Rachel (pastrami Rueben) with extra meat, and 2 sides. Only $12! I was worried it wouldn't be a great sandwich with that low price point, luckily I was wrong it was great. Both the coleslaw and potato salad were delicious too. Old fashioned beer pub in back made for solid dinner when all I wanted was to eat then sleep. Cash only, though there is an ATM in the deli. I will be back. read more

So I tried out the Rachel today because of another Yelper (shoutout Michael W.) I am extremely displeased that this sandwich isn't infinite & ever expanding. I will be docking that from 6 stars to 5 stars. Seriously though, it is absolutely delicious. Hogan's is a proper sandwich shop! I am totally ok with going to an ATM to get cash just for these sandwiches. It was only for less than $10! It came with the sandwich & 2 sides! I will be a repeat customer. read more

Great local place for subs with a pub atmosphere. I've only gotten the sandwiches here but they stand out from the crowd of your usual suspect chain sub places like subway and Jimmy John's. This would also be a great place to grab a beer and watch and game if you're in the middle for that. The sandwiches are fresh with the meat sliced when you order the sandwich. This is a cash only place so be aware of that. There is an atm if you don't have cash on hand. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area for lunch and in the mode for a sandwich. I recommend getting the sandwich toasted, but there is an option to get it cold. read more

These are some seriously good sandwiches! Gainesville's hidden gem. Family run since 1983. Super casual with a few tables inside and a bar in the back. Lunch time gets crowded so plan accordingly. Deli meat and all the ingredients are so fresh and sandwiches are made to order, so you may have to wait...trust me...it is so worth it! Cash only, no credit cards. read more

One of the best subs I ever ate and for sure the best in Gainesville. Also,beer choice is great. Subs are fresh and perfect! Can't wait to go back when in Gainesville next time read more

The staff is Friendly, the food was adequate. This is a cash only restaurant. This restaurant isn't very disabled Friendly, to get to the restroom. You have to navigate a very narrow passage way, I was not able to use my walker to get into the bathroom because it was so narrow. Also, there are no grab bars to use in the bathroom so if , you use a wheelchair, it would be very hard to use the restroom in this restaurant. read more

The service and food were both amazing. Highly recommended. Food came out fresh and quick read more

It's 2026. Accept more than one form of payment. I never get to eat here because I live in modern times and have a bank account.

Lots of choices. The Meats and cheeses are lovely. The buns are just so-so. I was asked if I wanted my bun toasted. It was actually microwaved. Yuck. It's a neat place with lots of beers. Cash only. You can phone in an order. It's ready pretty quick. read more

I have no idea how Hogan's is only a 4.1... this is the best place ever! Best all time sandwiches, best beer selection. Visit the bomb shelter... you won't regret it. Cash only. Locals place. Been going to hogans for close to 30 years, as a student and now every time we are back in Gville. read more

I swear, they are about to name this sandwich the Michelle special. I absolutely love the grilled chicken sandwiches. I get them on white, pressed, 12 in, all the way. The service is absolutely SECOND TO NONE and you feel such a throwback to the good ol' days from the moment you walk in. It's designed to have a WWII appeal and is always so cool to see. Hands down the absolute best subs i've ever had. They take cash only so keep that in mind when you plan on visiting. 10/10!! read more

Hogan's used to be my go to for subs. 2weeks ago ordered 3 subs by phone and when I arrived 20 minutes later they weren't even being made! Waited 15 minutes brought the subs home un rapped opened sandwich's up and everyone said: 'where's the meat'. Probably a 1/3 less meat than the old days read more

Honestly, the best sub sandwiches around! Yes, it is a cash only place. Yes, having each individual sandwich made to order can be a slow process. And yes, this place will not win awards for fine dining establishment for its ambiance or decor. But it will always win best sandwich around in my book. Every sandwich is so generously stuffed with meat and cheese, to the point of bursting through the bread and the butcher paper keeping everything together. The condiments, meat, cheese, and veg work so well together. If you want something quick, go to Subway. But if you want something epic and delicious, go to Hogan's. It is, and always will be, worth the wait. Keep up the good work! :) read more

Hogan's Great Sandwiches - The #1, best sandwich ever! - Sandwiches Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Outstanding food. Always eat there when in Gainesville. Big sandwiches always take half home.

So my wife went there tonight and asked the person what kind of cold cuts they use. The person behind the counter shared we use boars head. My wife ordered two subs and came home ... let me be honest, not only do they not use boars head... they use the worst most disgusting cold cuts I have ever been exposed to in my entire life. I wouldn't even feed this turkey to my dog. I will be returning tomorrow to ask why my wife was lied to. read more

I love this place, their turkey subs are the bomb ! I have to wait until I come on this side of town, whenever we're going to rural king we always add them to our lunch outing. read more

Not much to look at from the outside, but inside they are serving up some killer sandwiches at pretty reasonable prices. I stopped in for lunch and got the lunch special which was ham and turkey on a hoagie with a side and drink for $8! The meat on my sandwich was piled high, great deal and it was delicious too!! Would definitely recommend. This is a cash only establishment! read more

First off the parking lot is like a mine field. Trying to navigate parking with my elderly mother was a task. After the task of just getting to the door, we place our order and as I pull out my credit card we are told cash only and oh our atm is down. Really? In this day and age? Cash only? I know card services charge a fee and I have paid it in other places, come on. In this day and age we have CashApp, Venmo offer something. I know this place has been here a long time but I will not be back. read more

One of the most fresh sandwiches I have ever had. The bread was soft, the veggies were fresh, cheese and meats are sliced thin and STACKED. Prices are unbelievably reasonable. This is a CASH or local check establishment only. The line is slow moving, if you are in a hurry I recommend calling your order in. Drink refills are $1 each. read more

Everything is always good and generous. They haven't changed. Best sandwiches in Gainesville?

This sandwich spot was so delicious. I am big on sandwiches. They did not shy on the meat that they placed on the sandwich and was super hearty. The ambiance of Hogans gave an old school hope in the wall feel which I love! I think that the service could have been a bit more friendly but really enjoyed my sandwich. read more

Hogan's Great Sandwiches - a person holding a sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

I really love this sub place. I used to come as a student back in the 80s when it first opened and was called Hogan's Heroes back then. I'm assuming for a copyright violations they changed the name to Hogan's Great sandwiches, but the sandwich style remains the same. Menu board has remained pretty much unchanged for 40 years with exception of the names. Before the sandwiches used the names of the characters from the TV show, but since they changed the name of the shop, now they're just listed by their components, for example, ham, turkey, roast, beef, etc. This is a cash only establishment, so leave the plastic at home. Really love the sandwiches and it's a Gainesville establishment. If anybody remembers the old sandwich board from those hogans heroes days, drop a photo in a review one day. read more

Hogans is an icon in the Gainesville area, a legend amidst all the hustle and bustle of a college town, ever changing. Sometime you have to wait , sometimes like we do i highly recommend ordering on the phone, so your wait is only till you get through the line to the counter. The food is always amazing from there, their sandwiches remind me of back home when we go order a " grinder" (what we call subs up north.) Since my diet has changed i opted for a salad, and their sandwiches and salads are reasonably priced too. They have a small bar in the back, all the old movie and ww2 memorabilia makes for a cool atmosphere. definitely want to add it to your list!! read more

In search of lunch on route to Atlanta, I saw this option but it did not realize I selected this location that was further away from 75. A tour of Gainesville never hurt anyone, what's a other 30 minutes, right? Located in a very old strip mail, the small entrance with a filthy glass door worried me. We came this far...opening the door revealed a neighborhood pub/sandwich place where everyone knows your name! The tuna subs were huge, packed with filling that was tasty if probably not the healthiest. Definitely could have split one large between the 2 of us! read more

Deli in front, bar in back. A spot specifically for locals. All self service, order sandwich & sit & wait& wait & wait. Waitresses not attentive to customers except those sitting at bar. Will not go back, never even got to try their food. Seems more like a bar than anything else. read more

Delicious sandwiches, fun environment, felt like I was hanging with family. Service was fast and the cash-only requirement is a bit inconvenient but unique. Now I know and I get cash back at the grocery store so I can use it at hogans! read more

Yep this is the place if you want a great sandwich. It's in a strip mall. Cash only no credit cards. Order from the counter. They call your number when it's ready. I had the 8" combination #6. Ham, roast beef, Turkey breast and cheese. Did mine hot. Great taste. Wife had the Greek salad- good size portion. Friendly staff good food. The bar area in the back was busy (happy hour). read more

Seriously - these are the best hoagies in town and I'm willing to fight about it. Because if there's better, I haven't encountered them just yet! Located in an old 'bomb shelter' so they say, Hogan's is not the spot to come dressed to the nines and this may not be the spot for a hot date. What it is though, is a spot you've got to try. With a cash-only policy, walking into Hogan's you hit the deli, ATM, and retro arcade game first, and the real fun of televisions and all the workin' men beers you can find are tucked right behind that. The hoagies are made fresh at their deli-style counter, with your choice of toppings and traditional sides such as Potato Salad, Macaroni Salad, etc. that you would find at a NY deli. The meat is sliced fresh and the bread even fresher, and you can taste it in every bite! My personal fave?: #1 with everything on it + peppers, seriously a party in my mouth! I love Publix but Hogan's gives them a run for their money! Now, I'll say, I don't believe I've truly had a stellar customer service experience here... or a terrible one, lol. But my beers have always been cold when it reaches me, and my sandwich made fresh and that's all I expected of them. Have your cash ready, grab a cold beer while you wait and enjoy! read more

I went to Hogan's for hoagies and picked the #1 sandwich. These were impressive! I thought I would have to visit Philly to find this level of quality. They only take cash. There is an ATM inside. read more

Best sandwich in Florida! You will not find a better one in the state. Good bread to ingredients ratio. Fresh ingredients! Remember to bring cash. No cards accepted. read more

3rd time here. 1st time it was very good, 2nd time was a total S-show with a 1 hour wait and then gave us the wrong stuff- but it was busy so I chalked it up to being busy. Wife and I had some time to kill so went in today - Paid $30 for two subs drinks and a bag of chips. I said I would like mustard. I got a bare meat sandwich with MAYO, no toppings. So ok, my mistake for not listing off all the "include"; I am used to places like Jersey mikes I guess. So now I got my sandwich - just meat with mayo instead of mustard so I brought it back to let them know the only thing I asked for I didn't get. Bro looked at me like I was the guy in the wrong and said "well I can toss some mustard on it." So now I have meat, bread mustard and mayo. Disgusting and disrespectful. Last visit for us. read more

Hogan's stands out among sandwich delis. Every kind of sandwich seems to be the best it can be. They are generous with all the ingredients and everything is fresh and well prepared. Service is efficient. Cash only and they are already popular so meal times are crowded. But it's all worthwhile. They are the best sandwiches I've ever had -- well, the old delis in my childhood in Philadelphia were superb, and Hogan's reminds me of that quality and quantity. It's reliable, fresh, and always excellent. Everything prepared in clean conditions right in front of you, and they use the best products without doubt. Great place and already well known! read more

FIRE Stopped by during the pre-game rush. We got our food in 15-ish minutes. Pretty impressive considering how busy they were. Super fresh ingredients and large portions. We paid around $20 for the sandwiches. Drinks (2 beers and a tea) were around $10 extra. My only critique is that the cold sandwiches (you can choose to have them pressed) are served open-face and a little hard to eat. Overall 10/10 tho, so so good!! read more

First and foremost: I'm a lover of sandwiches. Any and all. So when I heard about Hogan's, I knew I needed to check it out. They have a lot of different sandwiches and meat combinations. Plus if you don't like any of the combinations, you can always build your own. They offer other food besides straight up sandwiches but I ordered an Italian grinder with ham, capicola, salami, prosciutto, and provolone cheese. Interestingly, it was served like an open-faced sandwich and it had plenty of meat and toppings. Definitely enough for two meals. The ingredients felt fresh and the staff was friendly. They only take cash, so keep that in mind before you arrive. My mouth is watering, I need to check them out again. read more

Hogan's Great Sandwiches - Italian grinder with ham, capicola, salami, prosciutto, and provolone cheese - served open-face - Sandwiches Near Me - Gainesville, Florida

Sandwiches are good. I ordered a salad and it was bleh. I expected it to be amazing and it was not. The lettuce was old and brown and not many toppings for the price. It's a cash only place but they do have an ATM inside. They probably make good money off that. It's pretty smart of them to make the customer pay the ATM fees instead of them having to pay a debit or credit card fee. When I paid for the food, I didn't get my change (coins), but instead they thru it in the tip jar. Funny thing is, had they not done that, I would have given some dollar bills. They also don't give receipts. Pretty sketch. No cards and no receipts. They keep the soda machine behind the counter and charge a $1 for a refill. lol. This place is raking in the money. Ambience isn't great. It's probably best to order carry-out. I'll keep coming here when I'm in the neighborhood since the sandwiches are good. read more

Hidden away in a rather empty plaza in north Gainesville, Hogan's serves up massive, delicious deli sandwiches. It took me a while to finally check it out but I'm so glad I did. I got a 12" corned beef and provolone sandwich with tons of toppings and that sandwich was LOADED. It was so big I ate half for dinner and half for lunch the next day. And the best part: it was only $10! You get so much food for your money here. There are over 20 sandwiches to choose from, along with salads, so you have tons of options. The only downside is that is cash only. They do have an ATM but MAKE SURE YOU BRING CASH WHEN YOU COME. In the back is a bar, with seemingly good deals on beer so maybe I'll come back some time when I'm more free to check that out. I highly recommend Hogan's for those of you looking for a good sandwich! read more

I stopped in at Hogan's for lunch recently. It has been a good long time since I have been here, and it is a bit off the beaten path for me in the first place. It hasn't really changed. There is still the big sandwich counter right at the front of the place, and then the back is dedicated to the bar area. Wartime memorabilia still adorns the walls, which is a nice touch in my eyes. I used to go to the other location in town (which I understand was not under the same ownership) but they have since closed (quite some time ago, actually). The sandwiches here are still excellent, and I was served well. My order was taken without issue, and I got the (large) sandwich that they are known for. I enjoyed my lunch, that is for sure! read more

I had my first experience at Hogan's and we ordered the #1 sandwich, which was recommended by my son and his roommates - they're all students at UF. The sandwich was excellent, and I plan to return on my next visit to Gainesville. Just a heads up - they only accept cash, so make sure to be prepared. read more
