Sammy's Avenue Eatery is easily one of the best sandwich spots I've tried! The sandwich I had was outstanding. Everything tasted fresh and well-balanced, and the honey mustard they use is next-level. It adds just the right amount of sweetness and tang without overpowering the rest of the sandwich. The staff was just as great as the food. Friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. read more

Stopped here for lunch. Was in the mood for a sandwich. Cute little place on the corner in north Minneapolis. I had heard good things and it was on my list for a while so was excited to try it. Clean place. I ordered at the counter. They told me there would be a 10 mins or so wait for my sandwich which was fine. Ordered my 12 inch turkey pastrami which is their most popular sandwich and a bottled drink. The total was 22 and change before tip which I thought was a little steep. The sandwich came in 4 pieces. Had the pastrami, tomato, pickle, peppers on a soft bread. The bread was fresh and soft. The sandwich was filled well with a good ratio of filling to bread. The taste was very well balanced and fresh. I wish there was more of the pastrami. Overall, I had a good and tasty lunch even though a little expensive. Happy to support a local black owned business. I would give this place a try if you want a good sandwich in a friendly environemnt. read more

The service here is great. They are extremely friendly and helpful navigating the menu. These sandwiches are incredible. They are a little small, but priced accordingly. This place crushes all the other chains (Quiznos's, subway, jersey mikes... etc). If you're ever able to choose this over them; do it. The bread is soft. It's warm! Don't make my mistake, get the full size. You'll be sorry if you don't. read more

I was told to go to Sammy's Eatery and say I was hungry. As soon as I walked into the establishment I was greeted with a warm and friendly hello and what can I do for you.

This black owned business is doing big things on the Northside on W. Broadway. Come check them out and leave a review. Promise you will be amazed and satisfied with the courtesy and good food. read more

This place is easy. I've gone in and ordered. I've called in my orders. Every time it's amazing. My go to is the chicken wrap. That Sammy sauce is delish. I then add some banana peppers and I am good to go. But the desserts! Wow. Sooooo good. The last one I had was a apple crumble cheesecake. Why haven't I had this before? Anywhere???? They also have a rotating soup choice. Today as of this review, it's a shrimp gumbo. The place is clean, bright and airy. If you haven't been, you gotta go. read more

Sammy's Avenue Eatery - Sandwiches Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Amazing pretty much sums it up! I stopped in during lunchtime and Mrs. Kimberly and crew were busy whipping up a 144 sandwich TakeOut order along with multiple online orders. Not only did they provide EXCELLENT customer service they also were prompt in helping all the walk in customers as well! I had the Turkey Club, it was amazing. I seen a salad and wrap that someone ordered that looked amazing. The soup portions are HUGE and come with house made croutons that are ALSO huge and delicious! Definitely check out Sammys friendly staff and awesome atmosphere! read more

Sammy's Avenue Eatery - Chicken Jerk sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

For lunch delivery to an office meeting (12 people), the delivery fee used to be $6.99. Now, they are charging $75.00. This has not been updated yes on their website, which is why one star is the rating. I'd happily pay more than $6.99, but the hike to $75.00 (within Minneapolis or $150 outside of MPLS) is outrageous. read more

Some of the best sandwiches in MN. I would recommend ordering ahead to avoid a wait but it's worth it anyways. And the team is always sweet to me. read more

I went to Sammy's to grab a quick bite before heading to an event. I order a latte and a breakfast sandwich. Both were well-made and delicious. My order was to go, and it was pretty quick. The service was excellent and I'll definitely stop by to try other items on the menu. read more

The hot roasted chicken sandwich (+ spicy peppers) was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The house sauce & bread softness/chewiness were perfect. Can't wait for my next one! read more

The sandwiches are always delicious, but the service is always SO slow....wish they could speed it up a little!

Fantastic! I had a cup of soup and a half Turkey pastrami sandwich with coffee. All three were tasteful and high quality. Pleasant staff. Clean place for dine in or takeout. Overall a great experience. And best of all it's a Black owned business I am happy to support with my custom! read more

I tried Sammy's today and enjoyed it! I got the breakfast sandwich with pastrami on garlic toast, a latte and a slice of their sweet potato pie. The latte and the sweet potato pie weren't great, but the sandwich was really good. I'm excited to go back and try their lunch sandwiches. The staff was also kind and helped me choose my sandwich with it being my first time. Your order may take 10-15 minutes if they are busy, there was one cook and one person working the register at the time that I came (around 1pm). I suggest trying Sammy's if you'd like some flavorful breakfast/lunch on the go--but maybe not if you're in a rush. Their magic may take a lil time, it's a neighborhood gem. There's lots of construction happening all around this restaurant during the day so I ended up parking in the large parking lots across the street and walking over, it was easier to pull out that way too. read more

I got the chicken salad sub and it was to die for. Super good and high quality food. Only complaint is delivery. I think they use one of the food delivery people (Grubhub, Uber eats,etc.). I was made aware that my food was there and I went down to the lobby of my busy office building and the delivery person has just left it laying in a public access area while he walked out in his own cloud of weed smoke. read more

Sammy's avenue eatery is a local black owned business! I highly recommend supporting them. Great service and great food. I have the bacon egg cheese and spinach breakfast sandwich and it was amazing. Definitely a gem in North Minneapolis. Can't wait to try their lunch sandwiches next! read more

Sammy's Avenue Eatery - bacon Egg and Cheese 6" Wheat Hoagie - Sandwiches Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Just noticed I never finished the review I started way back over the summer! (But in covid, what is time anyway?) I got a couple egg & cheese breakfast sandwiches and coffees delivered. You can order right from their site, which is nice. I remember getting a 12-inch, but Sammy's website only shows a 6" wheat hoagie option now. Who knows. The bread was good, nice and soft. The sandwich was straightforward, no frills, but it was seasoned right, just some salt and pepper, and had good amounts of egg and cheese. One drawback for me was that the latte I got was pretty sweet, even though I hadn't selected any flavor shot or sweetening options. It was still good, just not what I was expecting. I've since moved away, but otherwise, I'd be back! read more

Bomb sandwiches and banana pudding.... can't wait to go back. The staff were super friendly.

Great spot to get a great sandwich! Turkey melt was toasted to perfection and they've got great drinks too.

Really, really loved the bacon egg & cheese on garlic toast! I don't know what the sauce is they serve with it but it was SO GOOD. Definitely stop in here for good food at a great price. Highly recommend the chai latte too! read more

We had 2 sandwiches one breakfast and one turkey club lunch, the dressing was very good and we were pleasantly surprised by the large size of the club, we shared it between three people. The breakfast sandwich was good as well. The one thing that was amazing was the banana pudding, perfect with a nice balance of cookie, pudding and whipped cream. read more

My favorite cafe on the North side! Great food. Great vibe. Great Black owned business.

This is a very nice sandwich shop by my work. I just stopped in for the first time. I got the veggie sandwich. The veggies were thick cut, and it comes with mayo and a very sweet mustard. If I go there again, I think I would have to ask for it without mustard. You can get a six inch or a footlong. I only got the six inch, but I didn't find it to be very filling. I also got chips and a soda. The chips were great, but the soda selection was very limited, and mostly diet, which I don't drink. The staff was polite, but not overly friendly. You are able to pay with a credit card or cash too. read more

As a kid who grew up on the south side of Minneapolis, my feelings about the north side have always been negative. Parents, grandparents and friends constantly reenforced my fear about how terrible this part of Minneapolis was. And then I went there. Yes, there is crime over North. Yes, it looks a little different then the neighborhood where I live. But there are great little places like Avenue Eatery, where the manager is kind and welcoming, the coffee is magical and you can get healthy food, which is in short supply on this side of town. It's places like this that have the potential to change peoples feelings about North Minneapolis. Escape your preconceived notions and head down Broadway and grab a cup of coffee. The White Zombie, which is this crazy white espresso that you can't find anywhere else in the Twin Cities, is the best coffee beverage in the Twin Cities, and it just tastes like sweet milk. Until you get the crazy rush of caffeine as you drink it. Magical, I tell you. Get it on ice, with a shot of caramel. Or on a chilly day it is great hot as well. read more

Sammy's Avenue Eatery - Cute logo. - Sandwiches Near Me - Minneapolis, Minnesota

I'm fairly certain I've just eaten the best sub sandwich of my lifetime. I took one bite and opened up my Yelp account to type this. But, I can't put the sandwich down long enough to type more than a few words in, before going back for another bite. I ordered the turkey pastrami on a hoagie bun. Their menu is normally displayed on a TV screen, but they had the world cup on, so the nice gentleman at the counter gave me the run-down on the menu. I will always take the opportunity to eat pastrami when it's ordered, so that was an easy choice. The sandwich came to my table topped with white american cheese, tomatoes, fresh romaine lettuce, pickles, and this insanely delicious dressing that reminded me of a honey mustard, light on the mustard. It came with extra dressing and hot peppers on the side. The hot peppers and the dressing alone MADE this sandwich. I would drink that dressing out of a cup. I can only assume it's homemade. Lastly, the atmosphere was so bright and cheery. They have a garage door front that pulls up, and lets you feel like you're drinking your coffee on a patio. I'm hoping to conquer a great deal of homework now, without feeling like I'm missing out on summer. read more

Walked in and instantly got a warm welcome from the amazing staff and they had candles on each table making warm vibes and I was very impressed with everything from the first step into the building and the cashier was super nice and informative because it was out first time here and sold us on his best selling items I am blown away with the service and the food everything is made from hand and the place is super clean I don't live in the area but will be coming back when I'm in town very good job guys!!!!! read more

Fresh select deli sandwiches, homemade pies and coffee. Good prices. Front window is actually a large garage door which opens up, and it was a beautiful day out to enjoy a fresh brewed piping hot coffee and the fresh air! Excellent service. I hope to be back again. I ordered a decaf coffee and 1/2 turkey pastrami sandwich .... very generous portion. Oh and the sauce...ah the sauce! Absolutely delicious. read more

This was the best sub I've had in Minnesota. The reviews were dead on. I had the Turkey pastrami and I had it hot. Try the lemonade tea it was delicious. read more

OMG! I died and went to heaven! I would have posted a picture of my food but I inhaled it. I got the turkey pastrami wrap, added hot peppers and skipped the mayo. It was amazing! They Sauce they make is a sweet vidallia onion vinaigrette and this sauce should be sold to everyone. It is the most amazing thing I've ever had! Staff was so nice and courteous! Loved their music and vibe. I hope this place sticks around town, I have a quick go to now! Check it out and bring your appetite, lot of meat on these!!! read more

YUM! I ordered from Sammy's multiple times while having to visit family at the hospital. Every time delivery was extremely fast, and the sandwiches were AMAZING! One good sandwich can turn your day around and make it a great one. There's something about Sammy's special sauce that makes you crave 5 more sandwiches from this place... and the bread! Oh my lord, the bread! It's so flavorful, you're going to go home and throw out that bland loaf bread you have in your pantry because NOTHING compares to this bread. I tried a few different sandwiches, and no matter which one you order they always give you plenty of meat in there ( probably the most important part?). Overall, Sammy's is simple, easy to order and most definitely delicious! Two subs up! read more

Stopped in for a late lunch, cute little spot with a garage door style window. Staff was super friendly and customer-centered. We had hot chicken sandwiches. I would definitely stop in again. While we were there they were also preparing a good-sized catering order. I would definitely check them out if I need catered sandwiches. Prices were very reasonable, straightforward/simple menu. Delicious food. read more

Got an order delivered because I'm working from home now due to covid. I got the turkey pastrami sandwich combo. It was good. The house sauce is delicious but if I do delivery again I may request it on the side because it was a little sloppy when it got to me, but that's my fault. Very filling and tasty. Highly recommend! read more
