Wow! Best sandwiches I've ever had! We tried the chipotle, the chicken pesto & Italian. They were all amazing. Best sandwiches we had in a long time. They're bursting with flavor and their bread is perfection. We got it delivered to our hotel room an wow. It was fast a delightful. Highly recommend! read more

Felt compelled to write a review after a yelp hiatus because the sandwiches really are that good. I got the royal grinder and every single bite was a flavor explosion. The bread is toasty, but not too hard, and the grinder sauce is to die for! Also, the staff is super friendly. Grab a grinder, a beer, and sit in the shade of the Lenin statue! read more

That's a damn fine chicken pesto sandwich. Super helpful and friendly staff. Quick service.

My wife loves to go on a walks and end up here. It seems to be a theme. I get the excercise and she get the treat. read more

I've been having my lunch here once a week for a while, and thought I'd add my review to the mix. I got brought here by my friend Karen, who lived in Italy for several years. According to her, this is the first time she's seen anyone in the US who can make Italian grinder sandwiches that taste the way they're supposed to. I've tried the vegetarian and the Italian sausage grinder sandwiches, both of which are terrific, although I have a preference for the veggie. Grinder sandwiches are made by chopping up veggies and meats, and putting them into a small soft loaf/bun, usually with some sort of sauce. It puts the flavors together in a way you don't get from a standard sandwich. The sandwich is then toasted in an oven, further blending the flavors. They are quite yummy, and I look forward to trying more of their sandwiches. You get a free soda or water with every sandwich. They also have a small but very good quality selection of gelato, which they get from another independent shop. I give them four stars, but would love to give them four-and-a-half. They're not quite a five-star place, but I think with a little more work, they could be. read more

I had the Italian. It took a bit to get my sandwich, but it was well worth the wait. I love the thinly sliced onions, so you get the onion taste, but it's not over powering. I will definitely return and will probably get gelato next time. read more

LOVE IT! Not for people who need quick food but definitely for people who need good food it's absolutely amazing! I always get the original royal and can't imagine it getting any better I brag about it to my coworkers! (Work downtown have postmates deliver) They all love it and started recently going there after I ordered a bunch of sandwiches to share! If your in the area and looking around stop what your doing and stop In for a bite. If your searching on yelp for a good bite look no further you have found a great bite! So stop In grab a bite and enjoy it and post about it on yelp tell me what you think! read more

Bomb Gelato place. I recommend getting the pistachio one. Very nice people. Would definitely come again. read more

Royal Grinders - This is a single scoop. - Sandwiches Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This was such a great sandwich and maybe the nicest and friendliest sandwich makers I have ever come across!

I've been to this place a few times and every time as been amazing! I always get the Italian Grinder, no onions or tomatoes. Their sandwiches are HUGE. I usually only eat half and save the other half for lunch or dinner the next day. We bought a house in Bothell recently and moved from Queen Anne and I am still dreaming of this place. Will have to make a trip out to Seattle! read more

Probably one of the best sandwiches in Seattle, no BS not trying to be fancy and trendy just high quality ingredients lovingly assembled into magical sandwiches. If Jake the dog visited Seattle I'm sure he would eat here. read more

Good sandwiches in a nice spot with a nice area outside to eat. You can even bring out a beer and enjoy the bustle of the street. Not your scene? Bring the sandwiches down to Lake Union and you won't regret it. After my first bite, I definitely fell in love with it. Great stuff here! read more

Plethora of vegetarian options. Incredibly friendly staff serving huge sandwiches with fresh ingredients. Small space but plenty of outdoor seating if it's nice outside. read more

Great sandwiches! Lots of options to alter the sandwich to make it justtt right. Speedy and very friendly service. Love how they took the time to walk me through the menu. Will definitely be back! read more

Excellent sandwich. Traveling from out of town and happened upon this local shop. My wife and I had the Italian which was amazing. I have 2 daughters with diet preference and this shop has gluten free and veggie options that are equally delicious. Well done. read more

Lets be honest people....these sandwiches rock your boobs off.Most delicious grinders in seattle.Hands Down. That pastrami with jalas is a gift from christ. Thank you royal, thank you. p.s- the staff are a bunch of rad people read more

When you are bored and don't know what you feel like, head to Royal. The pastrami sandwiches are out of this world. Tried a panini, but it wasn't my thing.... stick with the grinders and you'll never leave hungry or unsatisfied. I have been here a dozen times, staff is great and the sandwiches are fantastic, plus a drink included with the price. read more

I kind of want to give Royal Grinders five stars, but this was my first trip there and I just can't be sure. I will say that the sandwich I had (Lenin's Club - turkey, bacon, provolone, red onions, lettuce, tomato, and something called marinara sweet chile sauce OH MY GOD) was maybe the best panini I have ever eaten. The bread was a crispy pocket of wonderful, soft on the inside and full of melty cheese, juicy turkey, smoky bacon (but not too much bacon, thank GOD), and the SAUCE, sweet Jesus, the sauce. Also, I have to say that I was impressed with the quality of the tomatoes (sliced SO thin), because how can they get such great tomatoes in November?! It blew my mind. Why can't I give this place five stars? Even mediocre restaurants have great days. But as far as I can tell, Royal Grinders is amazing. Best sandwich ever, plus a free soda. And _marinara sweet chile sauce_. What more do you want? read more

This is the best place for a grinder, in Seattle, period. As a former east coaster, there's nothing worse than craving a tasty grinder from your favorite local pizza/sub shop. Considering that kind of comfort food is just not an option here in Seattle, Royal Grinder's grinders comes in pretty close to fulfilling my cravings. read more

One of the very best sandwich joints in Seattle if it weren't for Paseos right up the hill! Service is awesome and the sandwiches take a while to come out, but boy are they worth it. Staff is easy going and know the old menu as well which makes it easy to order old favorites : Mine are the Lennin's club and the Italian grinder with sweet marinara sauce. ( Best marinara I've tasted to date) Also super vegan friendly! They have a wide range of sandwiches that are easily customizable to fit any diet. read more

Amazing sandwiches made with attention to detail. Great customer service. Pro Tips: -Call ahead if you are in a rush. -Get a little container of "yin-yang" sauce for dipping. read more

People seem to flock to Paseo. I'd take a Royal Grinder over Paseo any day. Unlike Paseo, you and these sandwiches work together. You don't fight the sandwich. You should never have to fight a sandwich. The bread is there to protect your hands. Thousands of years of sandwich evolution have made it that way! That's the whole point of a sandwich! If you think you want to go to Paseo, but think you don't want your sandwich all over your shirt, go to Royal Grinders. read more

This is my favorite place to get a hot, satisfying sandwich in Fremont. My personal favorite is the original veggie. It is loaded with veggies and melted cheese. I've never eaten such a delicious and satisfying veggie sandwich I highly recommend trying it! read more

Royal Grinders - The original veggie sandwich- must try! - Sandwiches Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Holy shit. That's what everyone said while eating this tested Italian grinder. Amazing bread and the ratios were amazing. This is probably the only dove restaurant I've given a 5 star to. Get the Italian sub. The bread alone is worth 5 stars. read more

Huge sandwiches that will leave you feeling floated immediately. Prices a little high for an individual at just under $10, but considering you're getting 2 sandwiches worth of goodness, not too bad. I went with the chicken pesto build your own on baguette. The meat and veggies bounded up were tasty but a little greasy on the sandwich itself considering I didn't get one of their greasy-laced stalwarts like pastrami. But anyways, good sandwich and many options from meat to bread to innards. Nice food option in the area for a man's lunch. read more

I'm not sure why it took me so long to find this place but I'm so glad I did! The Italian Grinder was amazing! From the bread to the sauce, everything fit perfectly together. I got there about 12:45pm on a Monday and there was no wait. I got it to go, so didn't have to worry about seating. But, it's super tiny, so probably not the best place to go if you are looking to hang with a bunch of friends. (although there's seating outside, which would be ideal in the summer!) The staff were friendly and they are happy to customize your order. The sandwiches are large and I probably could have just eaten half. But, I was hungry and ate the whole thing!! I'm totally stuffed and will have to live through food coma for the next 3 hours! There's a part of me that wishes I didn't find this place as I'm now obsessed!! read more

Super hella tasty sandwiches and super hella cool staff. My new fave lunch spot in Fremont. Worth the 10 minute wait. Get the Italian with provolone ... you won't be disappointed. read more

Extremely tasty. Got 4 different grinders and all amazing.

Fantastic sandwiches. For just under ten bucks, both vegans and omnivores will find hearty filling sandwiches packed with toasty savory goodness! The field roast vegetarian sandwich was packed with flavor, hold the cheese for a vegan option. French dip was a perfect cheese melted concoction of juicy beef and olive oil ( and rosemary or oregano?) seasoned French bread. Definitely going back to try the Italian grinder! Two enthusiastic thumbs up! Fair warning though your sandwiches will take 5-10 min to toast but oh so worth it. Order ahead to avoid a wait. read more

Soooooo good. I order the Italian and am never disappointed. A free coke and dessert of not one but 1.25 scoops of gelato?! How much better can it get? Seriously, the guys in their are great, pretty chill, usually watching the football game and serving up some awesome sandwiches. Not a lot of sitting room though, so take it to go! read more

Well, where should I start. I have been coming to this same place for the last five years. It first opened as Postmark Gelato. Then one year ago it changed ownership to two middle eastern guys, and they changed the name to Belle & Herbs Cafe. Now a new guy owns the store, and has changed the name to Royal Grinders. Hopefully, this guy will stick around for a while. Pros: First, the food is great. The new menu is very reasonably priced. The new owners specialize in hot toasted grinders. A big hearty sandwich with homemade sauce. Actually, all the different sauces are homemade. They also get their bread from Essential Baking Company. I have had all their grinders. My favorite is the Italian and Royal Grinder. My girlfriend loves the Lenin Panini. Second, the gelato is delicious. They get their gelato from Pike Place Market. I've had many numerous flavors. My favorite is the Coconut and Spicy Azteca Chocolate, my girlfriend loves the Amaretto. They definitely have the largest selection in Seattle. The new owners also give out a free "Lenny Scoop" with every order. It is like a small melon ball scoop of any other flavor for free. I love this idea. It lets you try another flavor for free. Third, the customer service and decor is nice. Paintings from local artist and sports on the big screen. Cons: First, the wait for the sandwich can be a little long. At lunch the line can be out the door. Plus, these sandwiches take a bit longer to toast than the average Quizno's. But, it blows Quizno's and Subway out the water. I recommend calling in the order. Second, the store is really small. Only window counter space in the winter, but, the whole courtyard opens with tables in the summer. Overall, this a great place I recommend to anyone. The food is great at a very fair price. I look forward to the summer months when I can people watch from the courtyard and eat a big fat grinder followed by a scoop of cherry gelato. read more

The guy that made my sandwich was crazy friendly, the chick running the register was too. They were funny and seemed happy to be at work, I always love to see that in restaurants. I ordered the italian sub. It was pretty good, nicely toasted and perfectly melty. My biggest problem with the sandwich is the bread was so toasty it cut up the roof of my mouth SO BAD. It hurts me. And the zesty italian sauce didn't exactly help the cause. But what I missed most from the sandwich was acidity. There were pepperoncinis on it but I think they were running out because there were barely any. Also I wish they had extra vinegar to put on your sub. It would have given me the kick I craved. Overall it's a pretty good sub, but for $8.45 I just wanted something with a little more.. oomph. read more

Average sandwich. If not eaten within 10 min of purchase, turns into a brick. The bread was too toasted, almost well done. The owner seemed like a prick. Was being very passive aggressive to his employees while I was there. I almost walked out based on the Korean dude's attitude towards them. I can get Paseo up the street. Why bother? read more

Huge sandwich. I think I got the roast beef. Paid less than $10 got a delicious sandwich, and more importantly filled my belly. I live very close by and this will be my new go to sandwich shop. read more

Yum! They know how to make sandwiches right! I have been here on at least 3 occasions and they are consistently putting out a delicious product! read more

I recently moved to Seattle from the Bay Area and was desperate to find a sandwich shop that could replace my favorite from the Bay Area. It took a couple of tries, but when I ran across Royal Grinders I knew I had found it. Not only is the food here incredible, but the staff is super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend them! read more

I live in LA but every time I go to Seattle, I make sure to hit up Royal Grinders for the amazing sandwiches and super good Gelato. It is a nice chill spot to grab lunch. A perfect small independent sandwich shop, which is one of my favorite things in the world. read more

High quality sandwiches made with fresh ingredients that taste good. Seasoned perfectly. Not skimpy on the fixings! Great customer service. My only complaint: of the three grinders I ordered, two had the butt end of the tomatoes. Note to personnel: no one likes getting the butt end of the tomatoes on their sandwich. Toss 'em out please!!!!! Other than that....perfection. read more

Best sandwiches in town. Well worth the wait during lunch. It can get a little busy if you go during peak times, but you won't be disappointed. The sandwiches are so large they usually suffice for lunch and dinner for me. read more

So we walked out of some bar where we had been watching a bunch of our drunken friends and business associates play Rock Band, (Kind of poorly I might add) and had been drinking for a couple of hours, (Kind Of well I might add) So, after a final red colored Jell-O shot, we were wandering around wanted food before we headed back to beloved Ballard. We were kinda thinking Thai food...and then the neon lights of Royal Grinders beckoned us like a Sea Captain on the Ocean of life, searching for that mighty lighthouse in the fog of destiny to steer his ship of glory down the pathway that is the highway we call life. It was a really good sign. We split an Italian Grinder, which was around 7.50 or so, and a cup of Gelato, both of which were just fine by me. The staff was courteous, and obviously skilled in the art of dealing with the likes of bar-hoppers who need something to sop up the evenings liquid courage. They even gave us a spoon full of something on our way out..not sure what it was. Oh...and you get a free dollop of a second flavor on every order of Gelato! I got to go get the toaster off the roof.... I'm out GRR read more
