Great little sandwich shop! It's very popular at noontime. I took a break from my 4 hour long painting class upstairs in the Torpedo Factory to snag a bite. My timing was good, because I arrived right before a work group of maybe 10 people or so came into place their orders. In addition to a substantive sandwich menu, which includes both hot and cold sandwiches, there's plenty of beverage (including wine) and snack selections. Wearing an oil paint-smudged apron (FYI: the reality is that you're still going to get paint on your clothes even wearing an apron), I aptly ordered the Torpedo Artist. The Torpedo Artist is a hot Panini-like sandwich. You can select your type of meat, cheese and toppings. By default it includes lettuce, sweet peppers and deli oil. My sandwich was well-crafted with plenty of turkey and Swiss cheese. However, I didn't especially like this sandwich. I wish I had asked them to hold the deli oil because it was overly pungent with oregano. All I could taste in my sandwich was oregano. But older and wiser now, I know in the future that if I have them hold the deli oil, I'll end up with a great and tasty sandwich. read more

Union Sandwich - Torpedo Artist sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

A fantastic sandwich location. I love a good sandwich! I was able to place an order for pick up just before I got on the train to head back. Brilliant! I will definitely for this again on my next trip. I ordered a BLT on multigrain, and a PBJ w/honey drizzle on sourdough. The PBJ is off the kids menu. I'll ask for extra peanut butter and jelly so it's to my liking. I couldn't tell if there was honey on it, it could have been. The BLT was fantastic. I loved that it was not oiled high with all the ingredients. A simple sandwich. It fit the bill and didn't over fill me. A true classic. The multi grain bread was the best! I need to find out where that is from. It was that good. I hope I'm able to try the tuna fish and the egg salad sandwiches sometime they look delish! The staff were quiet, but got the job done. There is a small bar like area to eat in, and outdoor tables in a covered area to enjoy your sandwich. read more

Stopped by and had some good food here. We ended up eating out on the water and the wait was not long at all. Kevin had the riverside picnic which he liked alot. I had the 1919 Italian and got it with hots. There's just seemed to be a lot of hots so I scraped some off cuz they just ended up really overpowering the rest of the cold cut. We will be back again!

OMFG!!! Just amazing little spot servicing sandwiches that punch you in the face with flavor. I had the Italian hoagie and my husband had the roast beef and provolone on sour dough. Both sandwiches were explosive. The hot and sweet peppers added that extra umph taking them over the edge. Paired with a local lager for hubby and vodka mule for me our lunch was more than we could have asked for. Sitting at the bar looking out on the street added that little extra something that makes you feel like you're in your old neighborhood, wherever that is and the service was friendly and fast. read more

The clam chowder was very delicious especially on the cool rainy day I visited this new location in Old Town. They don't make their soups here, but they come from a vendor. Even still, it was delicious. Sandwiches looked good, and this spot offers various snack and drinks. Old town needed a place like this so you can grab a few things and then enjoy them while sitting over by the waterfront read more

On a perfectly sunny day, strolling around Alexandria, we stumbled upon Union Sandwich Co. in the Torpedo Factory and decided to grab a bite. We got a turkey sandwich, a roast beef sandwich, and an arugula salad. All freshly prepared by the friendly cooks behind the counter, we also got a few bottles of drinks from the coolers in the waiting area. We didn't want to sit inside on such a perfect day, so we grabbed the food and sat outside by the fountain. The staff obliged us and provided plastic utensils and napkins. The sandwiches were full and meaty, with lots of flavor from the fillings and the arugula salad was bright and fresh. If you're looking for a good, quick meal, try Union Sandwich Co. It's yummy! read more

Union Sandwich - Salmon sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I absolutely loved the food at this place. I was passing through Alexandria after work and was so happy that I decided to make the detour. It was a busy area, but I found some street parking. Union Sandwich is located in the busy, historic district and was nicely positioned by the water. The sandwich was so fresh and delicious. I took it to go and when I took my first bite I was immediately impressed with the quality and taste of the sandwich. I highly recommend the Potomac Club. Yum...so good. read more

Right in Old Town, Alexandria, this small sandwich store and market is a convenient spot if you need a bite to eat or something to drink. Someone was ready to take our order right away, and the food was made fairly quickly. I love that there is a selection of wines if you need to pick something up last minute. The sandwiches were pretty good, fairly decent size. read more

Stopped in for a lunch while in town. Great sandwich. Simple options. Plenty of drink options. They are all single use cans and what not. The cashier was polite. Made sure everyone had napkins and ready to go. Not much seating more of a grab and go type spot for the sandwiches once they are made. The few seats outside are in a breezeway which makes it good for when you want stay out of the rain. read more

tldr: Basic but high quality sandwiches worth a stop for lunch. Sitting area seats 8 at a counter. Also inside is a few fridges for drinks and shelves for dry goods. I highly recommend stopping here for a quick and affordable lunch near the Alexandria waterfront. They have a robust menu of different deli sandwiches. They also have soup and shelves and fridges full of snacks and drinks. I ordered the Riverside Picnic sandwich ($12) and a cup of chowder ($6). The sandwich was toasted and made with fresh ingredients. The chowder was homemade and came with a piece of baguette. For the price and location, I'd highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Decent sandwiches, they don't come with chips. Good location. Friendly staff. Nice and warm inside on a cold winter day.

Yummy sandwiches and excellent, fast service! Sandwiches were well filled and flavorful!

Excellent sandwich at a reasonable price for our area. I had the roast beef and blue cheese - plenty of both on the sandwich along with a good helping of horseradish. Limited seating - about 8 seats against a counter and three tables just out front in covered area. But if you take your food out to the waterfront there are plenty of places to sit and watch the water including a shaded pavilion with a dozen tables and low walls made for sitting. On weekend if you're not looking for the brunch experience this is a good alternative. read more

A quality deli right in the heart of Old Town. Really liked the 1919 Italian with hot peppers. The meats were sliced right in front of me and the bread was perfectly crusty. The Potomac Club also received great reviews. The place was plenty busy on the Saturday we visited, but service was excellent. Will be back! read more

Today I ordered from Uber eats, the Potomac club sandwich and the Cobb salad. I can't attest to the salad as I haven't eaten it yet, but the Potomac club was absolutely outstanding! I almost didn't order from Union Sandwich company because I thought it's just a sandwich right? But this sandwich was outstanding. The bread was delicious, the avocado spread was significant, the meat and tomatoes and lettuce all tasted so fresh. I don't think you can go wrong with this gem of a little deli! I will be ordering more from them in the future! read more

Their specials are always great, and the Potomac Club is stellar. Properly priced and always a quick turnaround even when busy.

Amazing sandwiches again! I had the tuna and my wife had the riverside chicken. Bread was perfect and the tuna the best I've ever tasted. A perfect way to fuel on a bike ride on the Mount Vernon trail! read more

I ordered delivery from this place and was very disappointed. Although the roast beef and blue was pretty good, the 1919 Italian was terrible. Like tough bread, old baloney gas station sandwich terrible. What's more surprising is that the Italian is even more expensive than the other sandwich (on Grubhub). I'd possibly give them another chance but would not get the Italian sub ever again. read more

Ok, the sandwiches were amazing for sure but perhaps there was a miscommunication that happened because I ordered 5 sandwiches and got 6 sandwiches. I wish I could say was was only charged for 5 but alas I was charged for all 6 :-(. Other than that I would easily recommend this place. Not much to say about the ambiance. No one is eating at this place. Pick up your sandwiches and enjoy. read more

This is a great place to get a sandwich right off the Alexandria waterfront. My group was walking from Jone's Park to the south along the waterfront and decided to get a meal. There are many choices for food in the Alexandria city proper and a few right along the water. As you can tell from it's name, this is a sandwich shop in the corridor of a larger building. It has windows along both sides of the store making it very light and bright inside the store. Seating is limited with only a small bar with about 4 seats at the back. We chose to sit by the public tables near waterfront park. You order at the counter closest to the door. The menu is located on the back wall behind the counter and is a set of sandwiches ranging in price from about $11 to $13. I got the Roast beef and Blue sandwich. The food was prepared as we waited and was ready within about 10 minutes. It was one of the best sandwiches I have had with good bread, excellent roast beef and real crumbles. The store was clean. The staff was nice and it was a pleasant experience. Overall, I plan to visit here again to try more of their sandwiches. I hope you will too. read more

This is what Old Town has been needing! A small corner-esque store with fresh sandwiches and salads. You gotta stop in and try their rotating specials. It's a small and efficient shop, shelves line the store with unique and fun snacks, chips, and treats. Not only that, there's an impressive selection of wines, local craft beers, and canned cocktails available. They have a cool bar seating situation right in the front window facing Union St. Excellent service, great vibes and great food. read more

I've probably had 7 or 8 different sandwiches and they're all delicious. At most places I find what I like and stick to it. Not here because they're all good. If they have the pork and provolone - get it! Had a new one today - Ham and Pepper Jack and, shockingly....it was awesome. read more

Was on an eighth grade Washington DC trip with my daughter. The bus stopped in Alexandria to let us explore and grab some lunch. We stumbled on Union sandwich after walking down to the waterfront.

They're definitely putting a lot of love into their food!!! read more
