Some of the best double deckers in Cincinnati. What sets them apart is how affordable their double deckers are!

As their Tshirt says, corporate double-deckers, and subs can't compete. My first visit I tried the New Yorker, which is pastrami warmed with Swiss and brown mustard. Came with a pickle spear and chips for $7.50. Definitely piled high and thinly sliced each morning. It's a real hole in the wall, but they've been doing it right for 35 years. read more

I grew up in Cincinnati but must have moved away before J & W opened. It's very close to where I grew up and I've seen it written about in the Cincinnati Enquirer. Have driven past a few times before I actually ordered and all I can say is "don't judge a book by its cover"! My go-to is always a ham and beef double-decker. Looking online I could hardly believe how affordable the prices were! Ordered online along with a New Yorker sandwich and a BLT. There are a couple of inside tables but we took ours to go. Each sandwich comes with a bag of chips. Each of us REALLY enjoyed our sandwich and we will be back. (not exactly sure how I did not take photos of our sandwiches.) read more

I am a semi-regular visitor here. It is always outstanding. I typically order in advance using their website. When doing this, you can't see the "soup of the day," which I always order (their soups are great). Today was broccoli cheddar, which is a recurring variety. I didn't think I'd like it, but the counter lady recommended it. She was right; IT WAS AWESOME. read more

A well made, delicious tasting sandwich for a reasonable price in this expensive economy. A small out of the way shop that all the locals seem to know about the pastrami sandwich was fantastic. I would definitely go again!!! read more

J & W Sandwich Shoppe - Ham and beef double decker. I like the way they put both meats on top and bottom portions. The meat was tender and juicy. Very favorable. - Sandwiches Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Refused to honor a groupon coupon that I had purchased. Basically stole my money. I would not do business with these people.

Don't judge a book by its cover. The outside and even inside of this restaurant is suspect but the food is not. My friend and I SPLIT the Italian sub and we both had 1/2 of sub to eat later. Delicious fresh bun, plenty of meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato and banana peppers with Italian dressing. Came with Chips, I bought a bottle of water the entire lunch was $10. We took it to a nearby nature preserve and enjoyed this wonderful inexpensive lunch. Made to order so be patient! read more

The sandwiches are incredible. Always fresh ingredients and large portions. The chili cheese fries are also delicious.

place is amazing, authentic sandwich shop handmade delicious. Even gives authentic sandwich shop feels. I will be frequenting.

Amazing sandwiches and salads! Delicious! Everyone was extremely friendly as well! Can't wait to go back!

Stumbled upon this place looking for a quick lunch with some coworkers. The location is unassuming and really didn't know what to expect when we walked up. Once we got in, talked to the team, and learned more about the shop, it's clear why this has been a staple in the area. The portions are generous and the sandwiches were simple but quality. I got the club sandwich which honestly could have fed two people. The staff was great and my coworkers from out of town enjoyed the sports banter and local history the staff shared. Not in this area as much recently, but definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

Best Italian Subs! I've started ordering delivery from them for office meetings. Our new favorite and can't beat the prices.

Picked up J & W sandwich shoppe to try for the first time on my work lunch break- as it was only 5 minutes away from me. The menu & prices are so affordable! Our sandwiches were sooo good and so filling. The fries and seasoning were so on point & cooked perfectly. This will definitely be top of my list for the future for work lunch! read more

Great for carry-out sandwiches. No room for dine in. Quality if deli meat very good with generous portions. Order ahead for timely pick- up. They are very busy! No bells and whistles just a great place for a well made sandwich. I usually order roast beef and ham with Swiss on rye. The soups are good too! read more

We have ordered several times for office business lunches with people from out of town and the on-line ordering service is quick and easy. We ordered for 12 people and 1 hour and 15 minutes later we were able to get delivery. The sandwiches are piled high with toppings, very fresh, very good. Fries are amazing. Something for everyone. Prices are so reasonable. read more

Very friendly and welcoming. Good vibes and kind people! Give a very generous amount of meat, yummy sandwich.

This place slaps. Got a Turkey and BLT (pictured) sandwich. Look at her, she's beautiful. They pile on the crispy bacon. It's a mountain of crunch. My bet is that the turkey is freshly sliced on location. The white bread is perfectly toasted so the sandwich maintains its integrity and holds together while you eat it. We got fries too which took awhile but were worth it. The seasoning on them is a nice touch. The prices can't be beat. The service was exactly what you want. The decor is cool sports memorabilia with a newspaper on the table while you wait for your order. read more

Food fabulous sandwiches best in the city great service convenient easy to get in and out

I've driven by here often, and finally stopped in. I'm almost hesitant to write a review as it's a true hidden gem in Norwood. I want them to succeed, and they will. The phone was ringing off the hook. . Don't let the exterior sway you. This is LEGIT. And economical. A true mom n pop. I just don't want this place to get so popular it loses its charm. That being said, run, don't walk read more

Definition of a hole in the wall but do not judge this book by its cover. I ordered the double decker ham & turkey sandwich and it was a big as my head! Really great sandwich and unbelievable price at only $6.50!! Definitely will be coming back soon. read more

My first time to Cincinnati, a coworker took me to J&W sandwich shop. It's a small, hole in the wall place but dang they make a good sandwich, and it's very reasonably priced. I got a roast beef and turkey sandwich, it was huge. There had to be a half pound of roast beef and a half pound of turkey on the sandwich. I was only able to eat the roast beef and two pieces of bread. I got this sandwich, chips, and a can of soda. My co worker got a sandwich and a bag of chips (no drink). Our total was under $16. Such a great value. As a former Jets fan, i appreciated seeing all of the memorabilia. After 20 years of heartbreak as a jets fan, i have gavup on them but i did enjoy seeing the memorabilia. read more

Such a hidden jem of a legit, non-bougie, sandwich shop. The prices are phenomenal. The size of the sandwiches is unbelievable. The bacon has the perfect crisp. And you give me a pickle as a surprise (to me, since it was my first time). Unless you know it's there, you wouldn't really know it's there. Trust the address and if it looks closed when it shouldn't be, just open the door. read more

This was my first time visiting this sandwich shop. It was super busy, but the staff worked hard to get everyone their orders. I had the BLT and a bowl of chili, and both were wonderful. My order was quickly prepared, and the cost was reasonable for the quality of the food. The shop is small and has a little smoky smell inside. I'll definitely be back! read more

I'm still not sure this place is real... the sign is hand painted, the address is held on by scotch tape, the service rivals teleportation in terms of speed, the prices are affordable, and the food is delicious - none of that floppy bacon here. Crisp and delicious. Feels like a fever dream every time I go... one I'm eager to relive. Edited to add: I wrote this before looking at my previous review. With the double mention of teleportation I feel it's necessary to emphasize this place is just flat out magical. I made the mistake of getting a double decker and I could barely fit it in my mouth. I ate half of it for lunch and I'll eat the other half for dinner (and I am not a small meal gal). Its 2024 and I paid $14 for a double decker roast beef and bacon with egg, a pickle spear, chips, a can of soda, AND included a tip. That's $7 a meal folks. This is THE best deal around. read more

I found this with a co-worker while out in Ohio. We still talk about this place and tell everyone about it. If you love a good BLT... just go. No questions asked. read more

Fantastic hole in the wall sandwich shoppe. Great value and large sandwiches. Plan for a wait if you go for lunch - there will be a line.

Great prices, fantastic delivery man always on time or sooner plus comes with a smile also great sandwiches!!

Great sandwiches and definitely a hole in the wall. Very kind staff and they were hustling. We placed an order ahead but it took about 40 mins because of all the people! A lot of meat on the sandwiches and such a great price for what you get! Can't really sit inside, only two tables and 4 chairs but they're used for people waiting. Don't be afraid of the outside lol, go in for a yummy sandwich. Got the turkey and this was one half! read more

Great sandwiches. Super fast, friendly, and an even better value. This place puts the chains to shame.

The hidden gem is located in a small business area surrounded by nieborhoods and doesn't look like much from the exterior but they have an incredibly strong following with many wonderful sandwiches and other items to choose from which are all over the top in not only size of portions but flavors and value. read more
