This man should get the Key to the City! We would not have come to Rutland, Vermont if it were not for seeing the four-point-nine rating over hundreds of reviews for this extra-special eatery. The friendliness is off the charts. Let's just call it what it is: Love. We're from Maine, and we chatted with another couple who were traveling from Alabama. They said, "We came here for this. Well, not from Alabama..." "But you could have!" I interjected, and they agreed. Have I mentioned the food yet? I asked for a custom, deconstructed breakfast sandwich, and our chef whipped it up happily and lickety split. I think it's the love, but what looked like a regular English muffin never tasted better to me. How lucky are the regulars here! One came in, a young man, and our host asked about his work, and whether this was one of his long or short days - so caring and kind! What the world needs now is love, sweet love. I was so excited after leaving this slice of Heaven, and we spotted the Chamber of Commerce office across the street. We went in and told them directly to please think of a way to honor these folks. People came out from behind dividers, laughing and rejoicing together about this amazing place, where they themselves go every day! They shared that this wonderful family had recently lost two very close family members. You would not know it from their amazing perseverance. I hope this wonderful family will get back as much love as possible for all they dish out. read more

I don't think I've ever met people more friendly than the ones working here. It's a family-owned local business, and when we walked in the mom, dad, daughter, and grandpa were all working together--it was incredibly sweet to see. They greeted us so enthusiastically and genuinely helped us decide what to order. After we ordered, they brought our food to the table and continued checking in to make sure everything was good. I got the turkey sub and it was AMAZING. I would 100% come back to this town just to eat here again. There was past family, pictures, and current town pictures all over the place and made it feel more homey read more

Where to start? I got there early on a Wednesday. Stopped in quick for a decent homemade breakfast sandwich while I was visiting. Locals say good things yet I haven't been.

Sandwich Shoppe - Spin Doctor Original , Nickmoney's Buffalo Chicken Wrap - Sandwiches Near Me - Rutland, Vermont

Two hours into a long drive, my friend and I realized we needed some good food. Fortunately, I found this place on Yelp, and we pulled off the highway. Delicious sandwiches hit the spot, and the crew behind the counter could not have been more welcoming. Definitely worth the detour. read more

I had two of the best sandwiches of my life at the Sandwich Shoppe, a family-owned small business in downtown Rutland. The Big Robin, a popular sandwich, was sublime. Consisting of grilled chicken salad, bacon, and honey mustard on toasted wheat bread, this was so utterly delicious. It was a great combination of savory and sweet and different textures. I also loved the eggplant parm sub. The eggplant parm itself was perfection, and it went so well on the toasted roll. The hospitality from the owners was one of the best parts of the experience. The duo was absolutely warm and kind. They were also so friendly with our children. I wish I had more stomach space and time in Rutland to try more of the options. I will always remember and appreciate the fantastic lunch that we had in this special place. read more

Friendly people working the counter, delicious sandwiches, and a great location downtown.

Decent sandwich spot. I had the meatball sub and chicken parm which were tasty. Not that big but the price was about right for their size.

Great chicken cheesesteak! Hidden gem that's been around forever. Old school, seems to be more of a take out place. Will go back again!

I got the chicken Cesar wrap and my partner got the Neighbor both were so good! Good portion size. The staff is what made it exceptional! The staff was so kind and fun. Thank you!! read more

great italian sub. like the italian grinders of my youth. fresh bread. fast service. wonderful.

The Sandwich Shoppe is a proper local American Italian sub shop that brings it with solid sandwiches, fast service and a famiglia open arms approach that is top notch. No frills, just great food and people. A+ read more

This is a funky place right in the main downtown area of Rutland. It's very definitely a family-owned and operated place, and they go out of their way to welcome you and engage you when you walk in the door. This isn't just an assembly line of sandwiches to send you on your way. It's small, but there are a few tables inside. Note that the bathroom is down a very narrow flight of stairs, so that might be a challenge for some. But it's neat to see a little local place like this doing so well. read more

We stopped here on road trip from Texas to Maine and glad we did. Food was great, service was nice and friendly and ambience was nice! I ordered the Reuben, rest of family ordered Italian, meatball, and Ham and Swiss sandwich and they enjoyed them. I highly recommend eating here. read more

What a place! Service: magnificent! So friendly! They aim to please with all of your tastes and interests. And the good was both filling and very good. Right in the historic center of Rutland.

Great spot! I had the Reuben and got it to go...fantastic sammich and would be happy to check out other great items

Exquisite. The crown jewel of this town. Incredibly friendly staff and a delicious meal

Hands down the best service you will receive from a sub shop. Every person that walked in the door was treated like family, staff was very kind and the italian sub was perfect. It is no wonder why they have a 5 star average. 48 years in business and with a business model like this, they will be continue to crush the competition for another 100 years. Thanks again brother! read more

Ok, so yeah, I've never been to a place that had so many sandwich/sub/wrap/burger choices in my entire life. Basically, just get ready to be overwhelmed if you plan of looking at their entire chalkboard menu as it seems to go on for weeks. If you want friendly service at a mom and pop owned business (thank you, brother...you'll know what I mean once you visit) literally, and you want a quality sandwich/sub etc., then you should definitely visit. This place has been open for decades, so they obviously know how to get it done. Prices are respectfully in line with the portion size and inside in which to sit and I did a to go order so I didn't have time to check to see if they have WiFi. Their unisex bathroom is in the basement, and yeah, it's kinda weird going down there. I ordered a meatball sub for myself (about 7 bucks) and a corned beef reuben for my lady. We both enjoyed them and would order them again. Meatballs were quite large, had to be homemade and the sauce was excellent. Melty sharp provolone was requested and received and was a part of what was definitely a fresh made roll. Smartly, they served it inside wax paper which was then inside aluminum foil and this kept it nice and hot without it sticking to the aluminum foil at all. Overall the meatball sub didn't look huge, but I could only finish half of it at once. My wife said she really liked her reuben, which was also much too big to finish in her first sitting; she said it actually reheated pretty well in the toaster oven too, though I'm not thinking so about the sauerkraut...but she said it was good. Her sandwich was also about 7 bucks. Chips are extra as are bottled sodas, etc. from the refrigerated cases. I'll be back and will be ready to have my brain scrambled again by so many different menu choices. Right now I'm kinda leaning toward a Juicy Lucy. Can't wait! read more

Immediately after walking into the sandwich shop I was met with the most Italian "Hey how you doing" I've ever heard. After recommendations from the owners I decided to get the Italian Stallion sub and it was the greatest Italian sub I've ever had. For only $9.50 this super was loaded with meats and veggies that ended up being two meals for me. If I lived in Rutland, Vermont I know I would become a regular at this joint. read more

My husband an I came to Rutland, VT for the first time. We were looking for a place to have our lunch. I found this Sandwich place! People were so nice and accommodating!

Real Vermonters serving great food with great spirit! I love this place! read more

We loved our visit to the Sandwich Shoppe and definitely recommend it! This shop isn't fancy...it's just good. Founded in 1979, It is still a family run business with the 90-year-old matriarch taking orders. Everyone here was so, so kind and welcoming and took extra care to make sure each order was correct and delivered with care. We had the Italian (enough for 2), turkey Rueben, grilled cheese and tomato, and a Buffalo chicken wrap. read more

If we could give 10 stars, we would. Absolutely phenomenal service and people. So welcoming and such a pleasure to talk to! We got the Sam Crying something (roast beef and horseradish) and it was so flavorful and fresh. The roast beef was like butter. We also got a breakfast sandwich on a roll with turkey added. The roll was extremely fresh and fluffy and everything was so tasty. Highly recommend for a good old sandwich! read more

Super cute family owned business. The 90 year old woman taking orders and serving food is just adorable! Very small town and personal feel. Also, they have gluten free bread which is why we went there as we passed through town! read more

A friendly hole-in-the-wall eatery with 4 or 5 tables. The staff is right out of the TV show "Cheers." They are fun characters who love their jobs. They laugh, chat, and warmly greet everyone. They have a huge list of yummy sandwiches and wraps, and will make anything you can dream up. We had the South Beach wrap, made of sliced turkey and pastrami and swiss. Delicious. There are no frills at this little place (your sandwich will be served on a basic paper plate) but lots of happiness and good food here. read more
