Earl of Sandwich

Was walking out and about and was pleasantly surprised to see this! I honestly thought they were only at Disneyland and Vegas but after a visit to their site, it appears they’re in a bunch of other places.
Before I go on, I gotta say, I’m a big fan of Earl of Sandwich! They were a must-​visit on Vegas visits, and that only stopped when they opened at Disneyland. So, after I saw this, I decided that I must visit for lunch! I ordered my usual, the Original 1762 with extra horseradish. (Is that weird?) I brought it back to my apartment and chowed down on it. Quality is consistent with their other locations. And isn’t that what matters?
If I’m in the area, it’s a tough call between this and Halal Guys. But I’m glad that I’m not too far from one if a craving hits me!

Worst.
Never have tomato soup in stock. I usually order to have tomato soup. We called to confirm and they deliver wrong soup. When I called back, they are out of stock. I don’t understand.
Not my first time. Will not order for lunch anymore.

great quick lunch or dinner place. had the chicken avocado with chipotle sauce. and a tea. $ 9 not bad for NYC
pros: everything made while you wait, quick and easy
cons: place needed cleaned and tables were dirty, staff had pants hanging on the ground. yuk

Had a really good experience at the spot though I never thought I would have. I opted for the build-​a-​salad with grilled chicken, avocado, chic peas and peppers. The person who made the salad was really helpful.
The cashier and another worker were friendly and they have a soda machine for multiple soda fills ups. This is great if you need to consume a gallon of seltzer with your lunch, as I do.

I ordered online and had to wait 20 minutes when I got there because they forgot the online order, and then forgot again after I arrived and told them about my order. There were over five people working, which I think was an adequate amount considering how many orders they had and how many people were there. I know this because I could see each order coming through the screen and multiple people ordering and getting their sandwiches before me. Finally I approached the sandwich maker and asked for the third time about my sandwich. I don’t like to make a scene, but for people like me, Unilocal is where the complaining happens. The sandwich was great, however. Don’t order online.

Walked all the way from Lincoln center to get thanksgiving turkey sandwich. Arrived at 3:30pm. Sign on the door says open till 4. Stools are up, we open the door and are told they’re closed. I’d love to give zero stars. My friend talked this place up so much, they lost a potential customer.

I ordered the Italian and my girlfriend had the original. Even after being delivered up 57 floors, the food still looked more appetizing than a subway sandwich. After the first bite, I was hooked. The slightly toasted bread was amazing. The thinly sliced meat and tomatoes were nothing short of perfect. I wish Earl of Sandwich was always around the corner because I would definitely have it again.

So good. Tasty sandwiches. Only issue I’ve had, and it might’ve just been a coincidence, but after paying with my credit card, a couple of hours later I was notified by the card company a fraudulent charge was attempted.

What the heck happened to these places? What once used to be the best sandwiches around are now less than mediocre and the menu has shrunk.
Buy a $ 20 gift card and get $ 5 free for Xmas, asked if we could use them all at the same time and the answer was yes. Up until the time it came to pay and the couldn’t accept the free $ 5 card with the $ 20 card I purchased and the manager was to lazy to do a void and start over.
I won’t return except to buy 2 waters with my $ 5 card. There’s pizza all over the place, next door too, and I’ll stick to that. Sandwiches are not what they used to be.

I tried the The Montagu after seeing some great Unilocal pics. I thought it was ok, but nothing great and would not order it again. I think I will return and try another sandwich. The service and sandwich wrapper was impressive.

Boy, do I love a hot sandwich. The Montagu on wheat was delicious! It rivals Potbelly Sandwiches. This location was well-​staffed and efficient, serving up lunch orders to busy midtowners in expert fashion.
Plus, you can get a hot sandwich for free on your birthday by signing up for their eClub. Awwwesome.

Amazing sandwich shop with great prices. The holiday turkey sandwich (with no mayo) is amazing.

We always go here when we are in Downtown disney so imagine our delight to find one in NYC. The sandwich are always great. Can’t wait to go back when I am in Florida.

I think their sandwiches are pretty good. Not the best sandwiches out there (I’ve had better) but they’re still pretty good. So far I’ve had their club, Italiano, and chipotle chicken avocado on wheat bread and they’re all pretty good. While I’m not expecting much from a sandwich and this isn’t my number one favorite sandwich shop, id say its pretty good. One sandwich costs about 6.49 (the ones I ordered) so I think the price is pretty good with that quality. The service was pretty nice too. I ordered a sandwich today and I wasn’t paying attention while waiting for my order. I’m not sure if they called for me but the cashier ended up bringing my sandwich up to me which I think was a nice thing to do.

Friggin’ tasty sandwiches.
Both the Earl’s Club and the Original 1762 have taken me through rough times. Recently I scarfed down an Italian — it’s got what you’d expect to find in an Italian hoagie — and I have no regrets. Keep in mind that their sandwiches aren’t the largest, but they’re not the most expensive either. You’ll be fed for a few hours.
Earl of Sandwich holds their own against other gourmet shops in the city, especially for a chain. If you’ve been to their other locations, rest assured this Earl’s stays consistent with a smile[1].
If only they were open for dinner Saturdays!

I will warn you that though the line doesn’t seem long, for some reason it takes a lot longer than you’re used to, especially if you’re getting a hot sandwich (you have to wait for it to go through the oven, duh!). Also, you will come out of the restaurant smelling like burned bread and grease. Yuck.
I’m not a huge fan of sandwiches, hot or cold, but this place is conveniently located close to work for me. So, every now and then, I pop in and order a sandwich or salad. Over the course of a week, I tried many salads and a couple sandwiches. It took me until the last day of my coupon working for me to figure out which salad I actually liked. Bummer.
Out of all their hot sandwiches, I’d say the reuben is your best bet — just the right amount of cheese, pastrami, and sauce. Of salads, the Thai salad is my favorite — one of the more satisfying salads I’ve had and while it is a bit small, it didn’t leave me still hungry like some salads still do — there is plenty of chicken breast. The cold wraps are not to be bothered with — I had the buffalo and it was very cold and very salty.
Decent place for a decent lunch.

Ok Earl of Sandwich you have earned yourself a review. I’ve been here twice for lunch now and I have to say that their sandwiches are pretty damn delicious. I’ve only tried the wheat bread so I can’t speak for the white but the bread is always hot, crusty on the outside and soft on the inside.
As some other reviewers have pointed out, the sandwiches aren’t huge but I think it’s a decent portion for the price. Expect to pay a little over $ 7 for a sandwich, chips are about $ 1.30 extra. Maybe I’ve been working in Midtown too long but that seems about average for this area.
I’ve tried the Earl’s club sandwich which is very tasty and comes with crunchy bacon crumbles. I hate soggy bacon so I really liked that the bacon here was crispy. I’ve also tried the Chipotle chicken which was equally delicious.
Service is fast and friendly. The only thing that I dislike about this place is that there’s always this burning oil smell in there and when I leave my hair and my clothes have absorbed this scent (this is within the 5 or 10 minutes I wait on the side for my sandwich to be made). Improve the ventilation in here for your patrons and you may deserve 5 stars. :)

Earl of Sandwich is another great sandwich spot. My favorite sandwich here is the Full Montagu, which includes roast beef, turkey, Swiss, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, and mustard sauce. I also enjoy the tuna melt. While the sandwiches are smaller than Lenny’s, they are definitely just as delicious.

LOVE earl of sandwich! Started going to this place when it opened in Las Vegas. Was sooooo happy when one opened in New York. I personally would not get the wheat bread. i got it once to be healthy and it is just not very good at all … but the white bread is absolutely delicious!
I’ve ordered this for delivery a few times, and often the sandwich came cold — or not hot, it’s obviously better when the sandwich is fresh and hot, i would recommend reheating.
I’ve tried almost every sandwich and I love them all!
Our favorite are:
— Thanksgiving
— The Full Montagu
— Tuna Melt
— Chipotle Chicken Avocado
— The Earl Club
— Caprese (great for vegetarians)
The soups are also good. My favorite is the tomato bisque — comes with perfectly crispy croutons!
There is limited seating at the actual place, but i think this is because they assume a lot of people get to go or delivery.
I think the price is very reasonable for what you get, but i can see how this isn’t enough food for a big eater. Personally, i can only finish a half sandwich, so its a very reasonable two meals for me :-)
I always recommend this place to others, I’ve gotten a lot of my coworkers hooked, will most definitely be coming back soon!

It’s a decent place. I didn’t bring my own lunch today, so I ventured out to try new things. The place looks very similar to a Subway’s set up, but higher standard. The price wasn’t outrageous, but with expected Manhattan prices.
The Pastrami Reuben on Wheat was okay. The hot toasted bread and toppings was pretty good. The pastrami though… while flavorful, its texture was close to bologna.
The cashier/​host was one of the most polite, cheery, and friendliest I’ve met. It’s good service and food that has me coming back.
Will come back to try others.
