J & W Sandwich Shoppe

Ok, the sandwich was HUGE but I was really kind of grossed out at the dirty little store. Plus the older gentleman was coughing and hacking the entire time we waited. They were out of Bacon so I was disappointed that I couldn’t get the BL T. I had to try this place but I won’t go again.

Great food and a great value! We order carry out at least once a week, and I’ve never had anything bad from this place.

I can’t say enough about this place! This «little hole in the wall» is truly a neighborhood gem!
First of all its run by a bunch of locals and apparently has been here for years. I love the feel. Feels like it’s a bunch of my friends making my sandwiches. The décor on the outside is rough looking, but don’t judge by that. The inside has a bunch of local sports teams and pictures on the wall. Was happy to find some of the kids from our little league baseball team!
The food… amazing! These guys know how to make a sandwich. Double decker BLT is the best I’ve ever had in my life. The sandwiches are huge! I ordered two like I usually do, but it was way too much for me to eat in one sitting. So I had leftovers. I also had the Little Italy Sandwich which was good. Not a huge fan on the Italian dressing they use, so I’ll just get mayo next time.
All the sandwiches come with chips and a pickle.
Basically, it’s simple deli stuff, but done absolutely right! The prices are awesome as well. I spent 12 bucks and ate twice. That’s crazy for me, I usually crush food! I love this place and will def make it a regular stop from now on.

Thanks to the ‘Weekly Unilocal’ I found this delightful little neighborhood deli sandwich shoppe which I didn’t know existed for the last 16 years I have lived in Cincinnati. I ordered their double decker BLT sandwich on white bread toast and what a delicious huge beast it was! Sandwich, bag of chips (Husman’s not Grippo’s thank god) and a can of pop was $ 5.50. EXCELLENT VALUE considering you can’t escape a crappy Subway store with a foot long, chips, drink, and smelling little crappy Subway bread for around $ 9.00 or so. I will be back very soon!

For what you get (take out simple sandwiches) this place is the best. Super cheap cost, but serious meat on the sandwich! We get lunch from here twice a week at work. Nothing more to say except it’s awesome.

I was super excited about this place when I saw all of the great reviews. I put in an order for delivery at 10:30 (I didn’t think it would be busy yet for lunch) and it said it would take about 30 min to get to me. For a good sandwich I was willing to wait for that long. However, I then got a text message saying they were too busy and wouldn’t get my sandwich to me until after 12!!! And they are not even located far from me. I called the store to kindly ask them if they could cancel my order, and the guy was rude and cut me off a few times. I ended up having to call a different number to cancel but it was all automated and I have no idea if I actually canceled my order and will be getting my money back. I will never attempt this place again.

The sandwiches are good sized, all American, nothing fancy. But if that’s what your looking for, stop in.

Best BLT I’ve ever had. Double decker BLT, chips, and pickle for less than $ 5. Great, hole in the wall place… I would say it’s best for carry out. Also recommend pre ordering on the EAT24 app… they take their time to make your sandwich right, and it’s awesome (EAT24 emails a $ 2 coupon to you almost every weekend). Legit place, workers are nice and personable.

I’m sold. The sandwiches are consistent, very tasty, and very inexpensive. It’s really just for pick up or delivery… Not a spot for dining in but it’s worth it. Sandwiches come with chips and a pickle…

I can’t believe they stay open, the prices they charge, lots of meat great sandwiches

Who would have thought I would find this gem. It is the definition of a hole in the wall. They have maybe 2 or 3 tables. It is more of a carryout place. Their menu is small, but they have perfected the sandwiches. Their sandwiches are huge and at a small price. Talk about a good deal. I got the single roast beef and was stuffed. I’m not usually around the area but if I am, I will be going back. Their BLT looks amazing.

This place gives bonkers deals. Sandwiches are huge and dirt cheap. Great deals. $ 5 for a sandwich and chips. Restaurant itself is a bit dirty, but this place is worth the trip.

I’ve been in here a couple more times and I just have to say, these guys are legit. They take it seriously and they make a quality sandwich.
I don’t think I mentioned this before, but they slice all the veggies so paper thin that they are just flavor and juice and amazing in your mouth.

Dive, hole in the wall, rundown, whatever you want to call it, this place fits that description. But you also gotta call the sandwiches what they are — huge, tasty, and cheap. Call ahead if you can to avoid a minor wait, but it’s pretty quick service even if you don’t. Hell they even deliver.

Everything one could want from a hole-​in-​the-​wall sandwich place. The sandwiches were huge, flavorful, and cheap! I went with my husband for a weekday lunch on my break and we got two double-​decker sandwiches, chips and drinks for $ 11. My husband got the double-​decker BLT (tons of bacon) and I got the double-​decker turkey and roast beef.
It was pretty busy at 12:30 on a weekday, but the employees worked quickly and effectively. If you’re in a hurry, call ahead for pickup, since it was getting our food that took the longest (about ten minutes). Everyone was quite friendly, even being as busy as they were.
I wouldn’t recommend eating in the shop — there were only two very small tables in a very small space. Not too mention the grungy feel (remember: hole-​in-​the-​wall)… We got our sandwiches and headed over to a local park to chow down.
I will definitely be back! And will probably be bringing my co-​workers sandwiches once they mine.

One of the best deli’s I’ve ever been to. Pay attention to where you are going because this small sandwich shop will fly right by you it’s so unassuming.
Don’t pay attention to the weird chop shop across the street or the check cashing place down the road. These are what makes this place so great. A no frills New York style deli that’s slinging up delicious sammies.
My double decker roast beef and turkey club was what dreams are made of. Delectable meat. Substantial, fresh bread. All LOADED up onto a sandwich for only $ 5. Seriously guys, check the pics. I wouldn’t lie to you.
They’ve got an assortment or drinks by the can and bottle for $ 1 a piece. They can also cater with future notice.
Talking with the owner, they’ve been around a while. The walls are lined with NY memorabilia and signed photos giving it that hole in the wall deli feel you’d find in NYC. It’s a little hidden and out of the way but it is 100% worth it. Best sandwich I’ve ever had in my life.

Best sub shop in 50 miles. Huge portions. Prices are fair. Will be back. This is a good old local samwich shop. Like they use to be… Staff is friendly… Love the local feel. keep it up! A+++

Previous reviews that I’ve read of J & W Sandwich Shoppe have all been 100% positive and I finally made the short drive over to Norwood to give it a try. The shoppe is located on Worth Avenue, a mostly vacant commercial street in a predominately residential neighborhood. The outside of their building and the surrounding ones are in desperate need of maintenance, as if nothing has changed in the 23 years they have been in business.
Inside J & W offers just two tables and a handful of chairs, so I’m assuming the majority of their customers come in for carry out orders, just as I did. Printed menus can be found at the counter. In addition to a wide variety of cold and hot sandwiches, various soup and salad selections are also available.
I ordered the very highly reviewed double-​decker BLT with chips and a pickle ($ 4.75). This is a massive sandwich about four inches tall and it was packed full with plenty of bacon. It was a little messy to eat due to the size, but it was a very good sandwich. I’d like to give some of the other sandwiches a try, but this BLT will be hard to pass up in the future.
J & W offers delivery to a pretty wide area of town and charges just $ 1 for the service (minimum order of $ 10). They also offer party trays with 24 hour notification and those can be delivered as well. J & W Sandwich Shoppe is a hidden gem that is very affordable and quite delicious.

Was listening to the radio and they were talking about great places to get a BLT sandwich — they recommended J&W. Have to say, up until that point, I never heard of it. So, today we went to the Red’s game (which they won) and decided to pick up some BLT sandwiches to take to the game. We did call first, so the order would be ready when we got there. Not trying to sound like a broken record, like many of the other reviews, but this place is great. A no frills place with great food. When you walk in there are a couple of guys very busy making food orders and another guy taking orders and working the register. These guys were all hustling to get the food out. Let’s get to the heart of the matter — the BLT double decker. It was PACKED with bacon. Huge sandwich and great sandwich. All that, and a bag of chips for only $ 4.75. Best sandwich and best deal in town. Don’t miss it.
Saw them making up some other sandwiches. Will definitely be going back.

J & W is a no frills New York style sandwich shop that has been owned be a NY transplant for over 23 years. NO WONDER THESE SANDWICHES ARE SO HUGE!
In the middle of nowhere, this humble storefront boats only a few tables and a counter where they make the sammies right there in front of you. The menu is only a page and that is how is should be. Simple and executed to perfection.
They are known for their «Little Italy» and the BLT. The boyfriend and I went with a BLT and a Roast Beef & Turkey. Hands down this is one of the biggest and BEST BLT’s I have ever had. If you are a BLT fan, and especially right now in the summer, this is as good as they come. And you can’t beat the price! It was $ 5 for a double-​decker BLT and chips. WHAT?!! With the amount of bacon on this thing, I could only stomach half, and saved the other.
Bottom line — this is the best sandwich shop in the city. Go and see for yourself.
Pro-​tip: They also offer catering!
