We were going to Poquitos on Division but looks like that place fell prey to the Tacoma curse. A lot of places don't hang around too long and that spot in particular has seemed hard to keep in business. But then we looked cross the street on 1st, where there used to be an Anthem, and even though it was already 6pm, this sandwich shop was still open and...there was a BINGO game happening. Whaddya know? So we took a peak in and they were not only serving sandwiches but they also had a cooler full of microbrews and kombuchas, beer on tap, wine, and a whole list of cocktails made from prosecco and other non-hard liquors like Amaro. Truly something for everyone. So we gave our order to the sweet human at the counter and took our seats I'm not kidding, my Amaro sour was one of the best cocktails I've had in a while in Tacoma and so were the pretzel sticks. I want my cocktails cold, tart, and refreshing with a little kick of funk or herbs and I want my pretzels salty. You wouldn't think that's such a high bar to clear but you'd be surprised. Sandwich Starr nailed it. Our Zatan sandwich was tasty but even though the bread felt a little stale. Otherwise the decor is kinda '90s coffee house and they've got bingo! Overall, this is an odd spot but the drinks are really good and it's got heart and it's the heart that makes it Tacoma. read more

Food was pretty good, but the sandwiches weren't really that big. The atmosphere is pretty inviting and they have lots of games to play.prices are a little high for the size of the sandwich. I did enjoy the pickle. It seemed home made. read more

Great beer selection, staff is great. Please, for the sake of humanity take the Jim and Pam off the menu, or if you don't want to do that make it a cold sandwich. That hot tuna looks like dog barf. The other sandwiches seem appetizing, so looking forward to trying those. read more

I was really looking forward to checking this place out for the first time, but unfortunately, my experience didn't quite meet expectations. The staff was kind and welcoming, which I appreciated, but when it came to the food, I left feeling pretty underwhelmed, especially considering the price. I spent $31 on one and a half sandwiches, and while the flavors were decent, the portion sizes just didn't match the cost. It felt like I paid more for the vibe than the meal itself. The sandwich in the picture I posted was $9.00, this is an abysmal size of sandwich for that price. I genuinely wanted to enjoy everything about this visit, but for what I spent, I walked away disappointed. I'm sharing this as honest feedback in hopes it's helpful moving forward. I honestly don't want a response talking about how long you smoke your pastrami or anything like that, just own that YOU KNOW you're overpriced for what people get. read more

I think this place would be perfect to have some brews and play some board games with friends. But the sandwich I had definitely missed the mark. The bread itself was fresh and soft, but I feel like I took a couple of bites of rancid meat that left me feeling anxious about if I'll have food poisoning. I spat out more than I ate and the pickle on the side was brown and have the essence of cinnamon. Super weird. And they were red flags before I even ordered because there were 2 OLD cannolis sitting in the display area. I would come back as a date night just to have a few beers, but I would never eat anything from that kitchen ever again. read more

Very good sandwich place, we got Ours to go for lunch. They come warmed which is perfect. The service was great, very nice staff. It's a nice place to sit and relax if you also wanted to grab a drink with your food. They have games you can play for a hangout or if you just want to stop and grab it to go. I would go back and try something different, every sandwich sounds delicious. read more

I can confidently say Sandwich Starr is serving up some of the best sandwiches in Tacoma. We stopped by and tried the Iocane, and it was perfect--fresh, crisp vegetables, incredible meat, and bread that had just the right texture. But the real standout was the pastrami sandwich (Sir Robot). Honestly, it might be the best sandwich we've had in Tacoma. The pastrami was insanely flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and melt-in-your-mouth tender--just absolute perfection. Everything about this place feels like it's made with care. read more

Daughter and I were looking for a quiet place to sit down and talk while having a snack after a walk through the rain at Wright's Park. We saw this little sandwich shop we hadn't seen before and decided to check it out. The atmosphere is very nice, casual, and comfortable. It looks like it would be good to sit and do homework, have lunch with some friends, or go to a casual brunch with family. There are lots of seating choices: a couch and comfy chairs, high tables and stools, and regular tables. One table had a puzzle started you could work on and there were lots of games and books you could use. You order at the counter, they deliver food to your table and there is a place to bus your own table. The beverage menu included coffee and alcoholic beverages. They offered sandwiches, crepes, pastries and soup. We ordered coffee, a pastry, soup, and order of crepes to be eaten there. The coffee was fine served in a nice mug. The cookie was large but packaged in a plastic bag that would have been ok if we had been a to go order. But we were eating there so we either had to put it directly on the table or on the plastic bag. The tomato soup was very tasty, creamy with a little kick of spice. It had occasional chunks of tomato and visible pieces of basil. All of this goodness was overshadowed because it was served in a small ramekin, the type cooks use to portion food when they are preparing a recipe. It appeared we were getting a large taste of soup instead of a cup of soup. For some reason I assumed the savory crepes would be fresh and warm, but instead my order was made with premade cold crepes loosely wrapped around the mostly cheese filling. Taken as a whole we left disappointed. The atmosphere was nice enough that I will try this place again and try something else. I hope for better because it looks like it could be a great place to eat and hang with friends. read more

Thank you, Trey Beattie at Sandwich Starr, for showing appreciation to TEACHERS by treating all the teachers and support staff at Browns Point Elementary to a delicious and healthy lunch! Please support this incredibly generous local business. They DONATED enough lunches for EVERY STAFF MEMBER at Browns Point Elementary (60 Sandwiches)! Our teachers and students have been working SO hard over the last few weeks with state testing, and this amazing gift really lifted our teachers' spirits. Trey and his staff went above and beyond to show how important supporting local schools is to his small business. They even came in before their shop opened this morning to make all the sandwiches so that our teachers could have them in time for their lunches!!! read more

Very cool place with great sandwiches. I ordered The League without ham and it was amazing. The bread was peak quality and the ingredients were very fresh and delicious. I didn't really like the pickle which says something because I love pickles. Definitely plan on coming back soon! hope to give the pickles a second chance. read more

My lovely guncles picked up take-out for us to eat in the sunshine at my backyard picnic table and I'm so glad they did! We cut the four half sandwiches into fourths so everyone could try them all and they were wonderful! All of us were impressed with the crisp crackle of the baguette, the flavorful meats and the funky and fun toppings! I think we had a Chidi, a Johnny, a Starrk and a White Rabbit and they were all delicious. We also shared the Balsamic Brown Sugar Cheese Bread as an inside joke! I made my uncles a 'cheesy' once-a treat my mom learned in 1954 at the UW pi phi house... sandwich bread with miracle whip, a slice of American cheese and a sprinkle of white sugar that was broiled until golden. Your version was waaaaaaay better! We'll be back and are looking forward to trying your breakfast sandwiches! A side note about the pickles... we are all picklers ourselves and appreciated the crisp crunch and the tang! We think the seasoning people are reacting to is coriander seed? That's unusual in pickles but we all liked it! No photos because we snarfed it all up too quickly! read more

I visited Sandwich Starr for the first time on a Wednesday around 2 PM. It's located in the Stadium District where the Anthem Coffee used to be. I ordered a full Starrk Sandwich, which is $15 plus tax, and it did not disappoint my taste buds. So many delicious flavors sandwiched together...yum! I ate half, which was very filling, and took the other half home to my husband. Even he was impressed by the sandwich after it had sat cold for a couple of hours. I noticed some reviewers are unhappy with the prices, but I found them to be reasonable. A business isn't going to survive in today's economy if they undersell their product. The service was also quick and friendly. I'll be back! read more

My second time here. This time I tried the White Rabbit and it was amazing. Sandwich Starr is 2 for 2. Wow! read more

Sandwich Starr - White Rabbit. Delicious! - Sandwiches Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Sandwiches were good but not wow. I like that they offered a variety of food and drink options as well. It's a nice spot and easy to get to.

For starters, This Place is inside Edison City Ale House. We came in for a beer and were hungry so we were happy to see actual food offered by Sandwich Starr. Sandwiches were delicious, Mac & cheese was even better. 10/10 would recommend if you're craving a hit and fresh sandwich. Oh and they serve the good chips, the Hawaiian Kettle chips. read more

Was visiting the area and went here for breakfast, we all got sandwiches and it was very good!

Pastrami is on point! Piled high and thick! You can definitely tell they put a lot of thought into it. It's extremely moist and well seasoned, not overly salty. Even the French roll is fresh and toasted. Employees are actually friendly and chat with you or answer any questions. Best pastrami sandwich of my life! I will definitely be back! read more

This place is cool for sure. I have not been to Edison for a bit and when I come in they have a new sandwich spot. I grabbed the Reuben Panini and my wife had the Lister. Both tasted amazing, plus got two enormous pickles that were so delicious. They came out quick and were packed full of great flavor. I will be back for sure to try a few other sandwiches. I need to try that Rabbit sauce. Plus I hear they have solid cereal bars. Worth the stop and while here grab a beer. read more

A very solid sandwich spot! Had to try the house made pastrami and it didn't disappoint. Also tried the White Rabbit and it was solid. The bread is great especially the challah hoagie on the pastrami. We did grab our to-go but the ambience seemed really nice and there was plenty of space to grab a seat to enjoy our sandwiches. Also very quick and friendly service which is always good to see. Definitely want to come back and try some of their breakfast sandos! read more

Great sandwiches and friendly service. Desserts are great here too. Worth the parking wars.

Favorite sandwich spot in Tacoma no question. My go to is the Starrk, but every sando that I've tried has been fire.

Love this place....I order from here almost daily. Favorites include the Johnny, White Rabbit, and the special Jim & Pam! Also, COFFEE.

What an awesome sandwich in a hidden gem! Owner Trey is super friendly and charismatic and serves some bomb sandwiches! The White Rabbit looked good so we got that and he recommended the Starrk as well so we got those. Sooooooo good. If you're in the area in the evening and you like good sandwiches, you should DEFINITELY check it out read more

The prices are too high for the amount of food you get. They skimp so much on the meats and cheese as it is and you have the option to pay more for toppings, every time I've given them another chance I pay double for "extra" toppings and its still small portions it's annoying. Also their $9 coffee sucks. $30 later I'm pissed. read more

New location! So excited to have a local, non-chain sandwich place in Stadium. For the grand opening, I ordered the Diva, which was delicious. Soft, challah bread with Brie, bacon, arugula, tomato, and Mayo. I also got the brown sugar mozz bread with balsamic drizzle, which was super yum. They also have beer, wine, coffee, and lots of other NA drink options. Perfect for hospital employees and Stadium students. So happy they are here! Welcome to the neighborhood! Do yourselves a favor and check them out. It was a small menu opening, but I felt a massive challenge in picking my Sammie. I was torn between so many! Yum yum yum! read more
