Sandwich Restaurants in Minnesota

When Guy Fieri’s red Camaro rolled into Minnesota, the Land of 10,000 Lakes served up some seriously stacked sandwiches that earned a spot in Flavortown. Between 2008 and 2021, the spikey-haired host discovered 14 sandwich joints across the North Star State, with Minneapolis emerging as the undisputed champion of between-the-bread greatness, claiming 9 of those delicious destinations.

The numbers tell the story: an impressive 4.6 average rating across these featured spots, with 13 of 14 still slinging sandwiches to hungry crowds today. Leading the pack are standouts like Kramarczuk Sausage Company, where Eastern European flavors have earned a stellar 4.8-star rating, and Emily’s Lebanese Deli, bringing Mediterranean-inspired creations that score a mouth-watering 4.7 stars. From the Twin Cities to Duluth’s lakeside charm, these Minnesota sandwich shops prove that hearty Midwestern hospitality pairs perfectly with bold, creative flavors that even Guy couldn’t resist.
