Bon Banh Mi

Bon Banh Mi is one of the best sandwich shops in Charleston because of the delicious Vietnamese banh mi they serve. They serve it three ways: the classic sandwich, tacos, or a salad. It’s their take on the classic banh mi sandwich that puts them on this list of the best sandwich shops in Charleston. The pork sandwich is a favorite among diners but all varieties are delicious.

Tattooed Moose

The Tattooed Moose may not be an actual sandwich shop, but hear us out on why it belongs on this list. The reason we’re calling it one of the best sandwich shops in Charleston is because of the famous duck confit club. This rich duck sandwich has gained a reputation and diners from out of town make sure to get to the Tattooed Moose during trips to Charleston for that reason.

Ted’s Butcherblock is more than just one of Charleston’s best sandwich shops, it’s also a great place for dinner or some quality cuts of meat (it’s a butcher shop after all).  But it’s the sandwiches that put them on our list. Paninis like the wagyu beef are favorites among fans, as are other sandwiches like the bacon of the month BLT. Diners also say their gouda mac and cheese is a must as a side. You can eat it cold or hot.
