I had high hopes for River Street Sandwich Makers in Rochester, but unfortunately, the sandwiches were pretty underwhelming. We ordered the Caprese sandwich and the Diavolo, and neither really impressed us. The biggest issue was the lack of flavor. Both sandwiches felt very plain, and honestly, I felt like I was eating a whole lot of nothing. There was so much bread compared to the actual fillings, and the ingredients didn't have the flavor I was expecting. The sauces also fell flat and didn't really add much to the overall taste. For a place that specializes in sandwiches, I was hoping for more balanced flavors, better seasoning, and fillings that could stand up to the bread. The concept is good, but the execution just wasn't there for me. Overall, it wasn't the worst experience, but the sandwiches didn't leave much of an impression. With so many great food options in Rochester, I probably wouldn't go out of my way to return. I'd be open to giving them another try, but based on these two sandwiches, I was disappointed. read more

You have to ask yourself a few questions: Am I hungry? Yes. Do I want good food? Yes. Do I want to go to a place that's chill and inviting ? Yes. Do I want to feel good vibes and happy while eating? Yes. If you answered yes to any of those, then you definitely have to stop by River Street Sandwich Makers... Like right now! I'd give this place a 100/10 if I could. Seriously, everything we ordered was delicious, but we need to talk about the fries. I don't know what they're doing back there, but they are straight-up addictive. Consider yourself warned! You're welcome read more

Everything was just fine. Great location, Food was fine. Service was fine. Prices were fine.

Ordered the "Gucci-jang chicken" sandwich and a tomato basil bisque soup for lunch (I know that's an odd combo but I was in the mood for both lol) and they were amazing. High quality and tasted exactly as they should. The sandwich in particular was delicious. The chicken was crunchy and juicy. Great gochujang flavor. Pickled slaw, onions, etc. were yummy. It had all the (right) flavors you would expect from a Korean or Vietnamese inspired sandwich. 10/10! read more

My favorite sandwich spot in town. Staff are all friendly and great, and the restaurant has a very chill vibe. I've tried several sandwiches and all are great. My faves are the steak and eggs breakfast sandwich, the breakfast BLT, and the Gucci-jang chicken sandwich. read more

Just got done with lunch. My wife and I split an Italian beef and a Cuban. Italian beef (10/10): never had one before and have always wanted to. Hard to find one in Rochester but these guys nail it. The bread is super soft but holds up really well with the au jus. We got the regular giardiniera which had just the right spice. I'd order this sandwich a million more times. Makes me want to go to Chicago for the real thing. The Cuban (8/10): Cubans are one of my favorite sandwiches in general. The mustard was good on it, but was one of the draw backs for me. There just seemed to be way too much of it and it really dominated all of the others flavors which is a shame because the pork on its own is great. Also this one the bread didn't hold up quite as well. It didn't fall apart but just needed to be eaten quickly LOL. Overall great sandwich but that mustard is STRONG read more

For a sandwich place, this place is solid. I think it is here to stay in South Wedge- few businesses make it past 1-2 years here in the Wedge and I hope this sandwich place does as it makes pretty good selections. It is located next to the Poke Sushi place- I can't remember what was in its place prior to this, but it is modern, clean, bright and has just the right amount of niceness mixed with casual. you can come here as a business meeting or hang out with friends. The layout is simple with a few tables and chairs, an ordering/cashier counter and you can watch folks in the back making sandwiches. The interior has a modern meets railroad type of feel. It is homely, modern, and spacious. I like that it is not a loud place so you can hold a good conversation. We had the veggie wrap- good option but I don't like banana peppers or any peppers so next time I would omit. you get to choose what breads you want from rye, sour dough, white and wheat. Personally I love sour dough anything. I think most the sourness cuts the edge of most grease and salt in sandwiches and helps keep the palate lively. Their greek chicken was solid- a slightly salty patty but otherwise well put together The salmon with egg cold sandwich was also a good combination. Both luxurious proteins but against a sour dough, this is not too greasy. there was a chickpea sandwich that seemed good as well. I don't love their chips that come as a side with the sandwiches though. It's your Frito lays, Cheetos, lays- I think this cheapens their quality and it feels like an after thought despite good sandwiches. I would recommend considering kettle chips or other goods that would be both healthier or even make the sandwiches seem more "small batched." Consider partnering with local bake shops to sell cookies and other baked goods alongside your sandwiches to both support local and to also make the business seem more premium. read more

I love this restaurant. I think it has great ambiance, friendly staff, and a nice menu. The ingredients are fresh and the portions reasonable.

Very mediocre. Skimped on the mayo and sauce on the sandwiches. The bread did not taste fresh. The sourdough bread was not good.

Delicious breakfast sandwiches. Very large space with a few tables. Super friendly staff. read more

The menu looked amazing and it was hard to decide what to have. My friend had the grilled Greek chicken and I had the aloha chicken and both were amazing! The staff was courteous and helpful and the sandwiches came quickly. I can't wait to go back and try more of their sandwiches! read more

My boyfriend was hungry but I was full so we stopped into this place quick after getting coffee at a coffee shop across the street. He got the "Gucci-jang" sandwich a side of French fries and really enjoyed it but wouldn't order the sandwich again only because there's too many other sandwiches that also interest him to try. You can tell whoever is making these made sure the toppings were evenly distributed so each bite had a bit of everything! He loved the visible sea salt flakes on the fries & found them to be perfectly salty. We even liked the music they were playing & the simple but clean and sorta cozy decor. The guy who took our order at the register today (9/13 @ ~1:30pm) named Chris I think he said? was just so kind, caring personable. Even though we only interacted for a short time, he really was so nice and had such a great vibe. We will have to come back to try the bulgogi sandwich he recommended (he was genuinely sorry they were sold out of it but said it's one of their most popular so makes sense why!!They have so many others that all sound delish! :) Nice neighborhood lunch spot for sure. read more

Ok this place is really good. The Diavolo sandwich was amazing. Great place. We will be back.

We waited in the restaurant for 45 minutes for 2 takeout sandwiches. We'll never return or recommend it

I loved it here! Wide variety of sandwiches that are a reasonable size for the price and amount of toppings you get. Decent place to sit and eat - atmosphere is bright and spacious. Employees were kind as well. Really want to keep going back and trying more of their sandwiches! read more

Called to place an order for 16 lunches for tomorrow. Unwilling to accommodate the business.
