These Ohio sandwich spots don’t need a national logo to impress. Locals swear these hidden joints serve sandwiches that leave the big chains in the dust.
Chain sandwich shops seem to be on every corner these days, pumping out the same predictable subs and wraps no matter which state you visit. But Ohio has quietly built a lineup of local sandwich makers that leave the big brands in the dust.
These spots have earned fierce loyalty because they do one thing incredibly well: they make sandwiches that taste like someone actually cares, which is never the case with any of the big chains.
Stepping into Katzinger’s feels like time-traveling to a proper 1940s deli, complete with the smell of fresh rye bread and vinegar-soaked pickles.
