Top 50 Sandwiches - Ranked by Scoresman (5 Viewers)

#30 - Reuben​

Country of origin: USA 🇺🇸

Corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, topped with Russian or Thousand Island dressing, on rye bread, then grilled. Creamy coleslaw replaces the sauerkraut in some places.


I would rank this higher, but I'm not the biggest fan of sauerkraut. I still love everything else about this sandwich and will eat one regardless.

Absolute criminal ranking. :shock::jawdrop::kicksrock:
 

#31 - Texas Brisket sandwich​

Country of origin: USA 🇺🇸

Chopped or sliced smoked brisket on your bread of choice.


This is one that may rank higher once I visit Texas. What I've had at recommended BBQ places locally have been very good, however.
It's a ridiculously low rank for this wonderful culinary creation.

Another where I probably would prefer to eat it in non-sandwich form. And I assume it will end up ranking higher once I go to the source.
 

#32 - Lobster Roll​

Country of origin: USA 🇺🇸

Lobster meat tossed with either mayonnaise ("cold") or drawn butter ("hot") stuffed into a slit opening at the top of a grilled bread roll or hot dog bun.


As much of a mayo fan as I am, the best I've had have been the buttered variety, but both are excellent. Have never tried one outside of Boston area so not sure how well it has "traveled" to other parts of the country.
The Travelin' Lobster near Bar Harbor, Maine FTW!!!
 

#33 - Shawarma​

Country of origin: Turkey 🇹🇷

Flatbread with meat (traditionally lamb) cooked on a vertical spit. Additional fillings include vegetables such as tomato, cucumbers, onions, and pickles, and a sauce, often yogurt- or tahini-based.


My go to order at most Mediterranean/Middle Eastern restaurants.

I have it at 17. I prefer the chicken version. I probably live in the schwarma capital of the United States, I don’t order them a ton though because im usually getting the schwarma plate or a salad instead. I’ll get one every few months tough with some fries and an extra side of garlic dip

31 for me, I’d maybe feel different if I was on the east coast

Coincidentally we have a Lobster Roll food truck on campus tomorrow so looks like I’ll be getting a $25 lobster roll for lunch

And yet I would prefer to eat in sandwich form over 40 over sandwiches.
 
Brisket did not make my list, rarely eat it in sandwich form. Im not opposed to one but just not highly rated for me


Rueben criminally underrated. To be fair though, I’ve had some pretty bad Reuben’s, but if executed properly it’s in contention for #1

Joe may ban you for defiling brisket's good name with a 31 rank.

30??! You're a wild man. Reuben is easily a top 5 sandwich.

Should be top 5 on everyone's list.

Every sandwich from here on out could be argued a top 10 sandwich.

There are maybe 2 popular sandwiches I omitted entirely because I just don't like them. This one remained on the list despite me not really liking a key ingredient. I think that says something.
 
I've never had a Reuben and I never will. Sauerkraut is absolutely nasty and so is Thousand Island dressing.

Hard pass, 100%.
Mustard works really well in place of the Russian dressing or Thousand Island, but I can't comprehend your hatred of sauerkraut. It's the 🐐 of toppings for cured meat.
 
See I have weak spot for 1000 Island dressing. I slather it on more things than any sane person should. It's why I like the Reuben so much despite the sauerkraut. Light on the kraut, heavy on the 1000 Island or Russian and it's a fantastic sandwich.

Yeah I will admit I am an incredibly picky eater. No to mustard, too.

I've expanded my horizons in the past 20 years or so with being married to a Cajun that loves sushi. Crawfish boils, yum. Sushi, yum. Spicy foods, yum.
 

#29 - Italian Panino​

Country of origin: Italy 🇮🇹

In Italy, panino is the word for a sandwich made from bread other than sliced bread, in which case Italians call it a tramezzino. Examples of bread types used are ciabatta, rosetta and baguette. The bread is cut horizontally and filled with deli ingredients such as salami, ham, cheese, mortadella, or other food, and is sometimes pressed by a warming grill. In the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada, the term panini is used to refer to a long pressed and toasted sandwich; there is widespread availability and use of sandwich presses, often known as "panini presses."


Best I've had of this sandwich was driving around Northern Italy finding streetside places that sold these. Prosciutto is my meat of choice here. Simplicity is key here. This isn;t a sandwich you overstuff with ingredients. Quality bread, and meat/cheese and that's really it.
 
Best sandwich ever was a soft crab BLT at a local restaurant. Amazing !
Had it on the menu for two weeks and then it was gone.
Reminds me of a place in door county that served a deep fried Perch BLT. So damn good though the crab does sound better.

#28 - Gyro​

Country of origin: Greece 🇬🇷

"Pita gyro" or "psomaki gyro", depending on the type of bread used, includes meat roasted on a vertical spit, with tomato, potatoes, raw, often red onion and tzatziki sauce, wrapped in pita or sandwich bread.


The Yeeeee-ro. Very similar to a Shawarma, but there are key differences that distinguishes each, mainly seasonings and typical choice of meat.

Similar as in they’re both meat on bread but that’s about it

If I’m making at home I like to grill the kraut ever so slightly nothing worse than getting a super wet kraut that makes your bread soggy
 

#27 - Gabagool (Capicola)​

Country of origin: USA 🇺🇸

A good hero-roll, Capicola, provolone, and peppers make up this sandwich made popular in many mobster movies.


"Hey Paulie, I got some Gabagool!!"

https://i.pinimg.com/564x/50/04/25/50042569a9ec32533beefae14e1127b5.jpg

It should be noted that this is distinct from other Italian lunchmeat sandwiches. In this one, Capicola is the meat of choice. The one I had was with vinegar peppers which was amazing. I have tried but have been unable to reproduce locally what I had on the east coast.

This is top 15 for me.
 
Rueben criminally underrated. To be fair though, I’ve had some pretty bad Reuben’s, but if executed properly it’s in contention for #1
This is really the hitch in the sandwich. When done right it is phenomenal but so many places don't get it right that it is terrible and a waste of a meal. How much this should factor into the overall ranking is up for debate.

For me the percentage of times a sandwich is done well compared to mediocre/terrible is a big component of the evaluation since it's a general sandwich ranking and not a specific brand/place ranking of sandwichs. If something is difficult to get right then it really knocks it down the list for me. I still think Rueben is too low here even with that being said.

To be honest, this should only be ordered at a deli, preferably a kosher deli, so that should limit your risk considerably.
 

#36 - Fried Chicken​

Country of origin: USA 🇺🇸

Boneless fried chicken in between two slices of bread/roll


Bread can be anything from a biscuit to a waffle. This sandwich comes in many forms and I like just about all I've tried.
this is in my top 10 for sure.
 
Just made a sammich - Black Forest ham and Havarti (was this on DanLambskin's list?) with iceberg lettuce and thin-sliced tomato on buttermilk white bread, with Japanese mayo and spicy brown mustard. Giant dill pickle and honeycrisp apple on the side. 7.8/10 because I was hungry.

Aka "the Greek taco."

Havarti came in at #30
 
so my variation as a kid was peanut butter only and it knocks this one to the bottom of my rankings. May not be a popular decision.
Better than just a PB sandwich is a PB and banana sandwich. One of my favorites as a kid and probably haven't had one in 10 years. Might have to do it soon just because. It is much better than expected......especially when chased with an ice cold glass of milk.
PB&J ranked all the way at the bottom is criminal, but I might excuse it if the Elvis is in the top 10 as deserved.
 
Waiting to see where a nice MLT lands in the ranking - mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich when the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe...
 
OMG I just spent 30 seconds in the cheese thread to see the rankings.

@krista4 is completely justified in her emotional response. In fact, we may need to create a support group. Those rankings are like seeing a greatest burger rankings with McDonald's at #1 or a greatest pizza rankings with Pizza Hut at #1.

Don't be fatuous
You have ****ing processed American cheese as #1.

As somebody who actually spent a portion of a summer working in a Kraft cheese plant, I'm not the fatuous one here.
 
Oddly Baltimore my be my favorite sandwich town. There is not much to like about baltimore. But man they got some good sandwiches. Baltimore Pit Beef may be the least known and best sandwich out there. Crabcake sandwich. And the Italian area has awesome delis.
 

#40 - Bacon Butty​

Country of origin: England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

The bacon butty is a British sandwich consisting of crispy bacon, butter, and either HP Sauce (a British “brown sauce” akin to steak sauce) or ketchup, all stuffed between two slices of soft white sandwich bread.


The British BLT, minus the LT. I have a British friend who made one for me telling me I would like it way better than a BLT. While I did really like it and I recommend it, he was wrong. This is a simple sandwich that requires great ingredients to be good. And use HP sauce, not ketchup.

I know the Earl of Sandwich invented them but the modern English sandwich is some shrink-wrapped product from a cooler at Pret-a-Manger.

I've never had a Bacon Butty but it sounds pretty mediocre. American bacon is much better than the English variety which runs lean and doesn't crisp up as well. HP Sauce is too vinegary and soft white sandwich bread is nasty in any country.
 
#37 - Roast Pork Sandwich
Country of origin: USA 🇺🇸

Roast pork sandwiches are a staple of numerous sandwich shops throughout Philadelphia. The bread roll is typically topped with sesame seeds and loaded with a generous spoonful of pork juices. It is then stuffed with either sliced pork roast, roast pork chunks, or pulled pork, along with broccoli rabe (or spinach), and melted cheese such as provolone.


Had this alternative to the cheesesteak at a local philly cheesesteak place. Loved it as an occasional alternative to it's steak sister sandwich.

Had one at Dinic's in Philly and was life-changing. Now one of my favorite things to make at home.
