Here’s the list of places everyone maps.app.goo.gl/oBniLWnUVPncrbno7

[@petejaustin]

No list of Seattle sandwich shops is complete without mentioning Valhalla in Greenwood. Hands down my favorite! Un Bien in Ballard and Tat's Deli in Pioneer Square are also amazing!

[@dankjungle]

Agreed on all of those

[@mikerdavis3]

Un bien and Paseo

[@Thundaarr]

Love the shout out to MSM. That place has been around for decades and I've been going there since the early 90's. Covid and the change of ownership actually changed the place a lot. It used to be an east coast style bodega, and had a pretty amazing selection of beer for the size of the place. Now it's just all sandwiches, which, don't get me wrong isn't a totally bad thing, but I do miss being able to get a beer with my sandwich.

[@arvurebantra7639]

I haven't been to MSM since before Covid. Did they really change? They've always been a favorite when I could get over there, so I hope it's still worth it!

[@timdavis1877]

Solid work, they are all on my list. I have to pimp Slab for their Cubano and Mean Sandwich for everything and those damn Salt-N-Pepa potatoes!! #Subscribed

[@sy253sea]

MSM is top notch. It’s nostalgic and never disappoints when taking it to go for a picnic or even on a go.

[@arvurebantra7639]

I grew up on the east coast, in the Boston area, and when I moved to the PNW I missed those corner deli sandwich shops. Finding places like the MSM and other spots is so refreshing!

[@matbulldis691]

Cool that u came to Tacoma to shout out MSM. Haven’t been to Gilbert’s. Loved Goldbergs so I’ll have to try it out. Why no Un Bien? Love that one.

[@MatthewNorm]

I’ll get to it in the next one

[@imjenncho]

the best food tour guide :)

[@MatthewNorm]

😮

[@ryomatayoshi5903]

Tat's pastrami is my favorite in the area, Dingfelder's is solid, and Hitchcock on Bainbridge Island does a really good pastrami too. Gilbert's uses Boars head meats, kind of pricey for store bought deli meat.

[@MatthewNorm]

I’ve heard about dingfelders it’s nyc style yea? Also tats is so good

[@ryomatayoshi5903]

@ Dingfelders is NYC deli style. Forgot about Market House Meats. Old school kind of divey. They do a great Rueben.

[@MegaDizz23]

You've got to try Paseo ( various locations in Seattle), Delicious Caribbean sandwiches. Lots of garlic, onions and amazing meat.

[@MatthewNorm]

Oh I’ve been to Paseo, love that place!

[@MegaDizz23]

@MatthewNorm awesome. I miss living down the street from one. I grew up in Tacoma and MSM is royalty there. Thanks for the cool content.

[@Fakeaorta]

Uhn Bien in Ballard is little better with the original recipe.

[@jaer.6540]

​@@FakeaortaBongos is better than both

[@Fakeaorta]

​@@jaer.6540 I have heard that before. I need to check them out.

[@rosebojorquez1237]

Ohhh I love me a good Ruben Sandwich 🥪 😋 ❤. Love this video, thanks 😊😊

[@MatthewNorm]

:)

[@johnned4848]

I think Market House Meats around Stewart and Yale deserves a mention. It's been in the same location for nearly 75 years and is proudly old school. I would rate their Ruben as probably the best in Seattle. Huge portion of corned beef sauerkraut Swiss and Russian dressing on marbled rye. The hit pastrami and other sandwiches including a cheese steak are excellent. As is the cheeseburger 🍔

[@MatthewNorm]

I’ve always been meaning to go there

[@ramses8847]

Yes the cheeseburger is very underrated. Also their breakfast sandwiches are perfect for a hangover.

[@kyanwest6548]

@@MatthewNorm Definitely should, that Reuben is one of the best Ive had in the country, outside NY

[@xyzzy09876]

This!

[@johnned4848]

@@MatthewNorm maybe for your next best sandwiches video?

[@0hmventures]

You mentioned two sandwich joints that aren't even in Seattle, yet you missed Tubs Subs and Tat's Deli. And is a burger a sandwich? Haha. Definitely gonna hafta check out Post Alley Pizza.

[@donnywaite5920]

If you do a chicken sandwich video, go to Ma’Ono. Best chicken sandwich in Seattle.

[@dtaylor8000]

Used to go to the Post Alley Pizza when I worked nearby. The pizza is great there, but I my go to favorite was the meatball sandwich.

[@turdferguson51586]

Loretta's of course! I feel like most people know about it now, though. My old favorite was Zippy's in White Center but they closed about two years ago. Huge bummer.

[@MatthewNorm]

Loretta’s is my fave. Ohh no way! I used to go to that zippys

[@MichaelJamesNoggin]

Thank you for the recommendations! I just moved to Seattle so I will be checking these out!

[@MatthewNorm]

Welcome !

[@jeffolson4731]

I was surprised you went to Tacoma and MSM. I can’t tell you how many times I have seen people come in and pick up a couple of bags full of sandwiches. That kitchen is hopping. Like others have said, Pick Quick in Fife is a must for burgers. It is an old walk up joint with picnic tables to use when the weather permits it. The burgers are made to order so you will be waiting. They are old fashioned 1/8 pound patties so don’t be afraid to get the double or triple. My go to is the double deluxe. They have malts as well as shakes.

[@marcelsutton4178]

Love what you do! I’m born & raised in Seattle. Love seeing our awesome eateries get highlighted, thx! Burger places for your consideration: Redmill, Uneeda, Rain City, Lil Woody’s (Dick’s of course but I’ll assume you won’t make a Seattle Burger review w/o them 🙂)

[@patjandl2326]

The Other Coast on Ballard Ave has the best sandwiches. Love the bread!

[@MatthewNorm]

I didn’t know other coast was still there! I loved that place

[@3rdjrh]

Burgermaster is one of the best burgers in Seattle. If you do a burger review, make sure you go to Pick quick in Fife.

[@BuddyDanger]

Burger master just closed, Pick quick has another location in Auburn too!!

[@3rdjrh]

@ too bad it’s only drive thru

[@3rdjrh]

@ their other locations are still open fortunately

[@chfrankc]

The most hidden of hidden jems in Seattle, Lyon's Grocery on Dexter. Also, Torta con Frijoles at Tacos Chukis, also on Dexter.

[@gregoriozamora139]

Love Seattle keep up the Seattle vlogs

[@MatthewNorm]

Thank you

[@darrenkwalsh]

I would love to see your take on the best burgers!

[@MatthewNorm]

Thank you I’ll work on it

[@vibe-804]

Gainsbourg on Greenwood ave has a pretty great happy hour burger. Blue cheese and the caramelized onions, it's my goto in the area. Fries are good there too.

[@rickcorlett]

I have been eating at Post Alley Pizza for over a decade and had no idea they had a grinder. I’ll have to check that tough bread out.

[@BytesAndBites]

Paseos is solid , The new QA location has been so consistent

[@The_Lawlrus]

I’ve seen Dingfelder’s mentioned already a few times which is my personal favorite. But the banh mi at Oh’s in West Seattle is a close second.

[@MatthewNorm]

Need to try that

[@Letsgoforone]

Gotta hit up Loretta’s in the burger review! Enjoying the videos and pizza review sounds good too!

[@MatthewNorm]

I'm glad you like the videos! Loretta’s is the beeeest

[@rositis]

Sadly, you likely missed out on the now-closed Grinders Hot Sands in Shoreline. It was a victim of the pandemic back in 2020 and is sorely missed. Their Stromboli was amazing and their SauBall (half Italian Sausage. half meatball) felt like it could feed an army. Also, thanks for the shout-out to Burgermaster! Those in the know love it even more than Dick's.

[@rinanona2348]

Gilbert's on main ❤ I'm gonna have to try MSM

[@brettmercier]

The Ragin Cajun at The Other Coast Cafe in Ballard will change your life. And the pastrami at Market House Meats on Howell in the city has no real competition locally.

[@MatthewNorm]

That was my regular. I didn’t know they were still there! I gotta go

[@CosbyKid]

Gotta try Dingfelder's. I love Katz in NYC and I'll put Dingfelder's up against it any day. Also, Super Deli Mart in West Seattle makes good sandwiches. Cheesy Brit and the Italian were my faves.

[@MatthewNorm]

I love Katz! I need to try Dingfelders

[@JLew9000]

Agreed on Dingfelder! They also have massive sandwiches

[@majesticpbjcat7707]

You’re missing out on The Other Coast Cafe in Ballard & Blue Heron in magnolia

[@EElectrician]

And Dingfelders Delicatessen but sandwiches are like $30 but worth every dollar

[@rikkimontero]

Honey Hole is definitely not the same especially the Au jus. The Fast Eddy was my go to and their fries were insanely delicious. The new owners have modernized the ordering which is nice you don’t have to deal with cashiers who seem to always have a bad day.

[@Knives79]

Yeah, no thank you for $20. That's one of the literal problems with seattle. No affordable place to go get lunch for the regular working class. All of Seattle is very scarce for affordable lunches. The pizza prices are insane too. I understand inflation I understand overhead. These kind of prices are just absolutely ridiculous.

[@MatthewNorm]

Where do you live if you mind me asking

[@Knives79]

@MatthewNorm I totally respect what you're doing don't get me wrong I'm not trying to talk smack on you. But, no matter where you live those are expensive prices. I know Seattle. I have worked in Seattle. Trust me, I know there is a desert wasteland for affordable lunches in most of Seattle. Especially anywhere between Pike place to the bus terminal on 5th and Jackson. I have a standard to not pay $20 for a burrito or a sandwich. No matter how much money I currently have in my bank account. Seattle rocks. But, this is a major issue. Not enough Blue collar locations for the majority of the public. There are a lot of places down there that have weird hours and cater to tourists more than locals. Currently, I am just about at the edge of city limits of Seattle. I have lived all over the area even Cap Hill.

[@NightHawke]

Oy. 🙄 "Seattle Best Sandwiches" and you spend half the time out of town?! You got within a few blocks of Tat's, hands-down the best cheesesteak and hot sandwich restaurant in the city, but no love?

Try Steve's famous in Beacon Hill(clockout lounge), Dantini's in Elliot Bay, Ananas on Capitol Hill. These are 3 of my favorite east coast style. I like Windy City for deep dish but prefer their nights when they do the sourdough crusts.
