After years in Shreveport, you’ve probably tried every po’boy and muffuletta in town. You’ve debated the merits of classic delis and chased down food trucks for their signature creations. But trust us—there’s a fresh crop of sandwich spots that will reignite your love for stacked, savory perfection. Here are the nine best sandwich shops in Shreveport right now.
SUBWAY
$ | (318) 364-8889 | WEBSITE
SUBWAY is a sandwich shop chain, and it’s been a reliable lunch option for years. The Shreveport location offers quick counter service, with things like the popular Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich loaded with bacon and ranch dressing, vegan options for plant-based eaters, and small subs that kids love (which you should get for the little ones). Outside is a convenient drive-thru lane–though wait times can vary–that can handle your midday sandwich craving when you’re in a hurry to get back to work.
Doc’s Sandwich Shop
$ | (318) 725-3627 | WEBSITE
Doc’s Sandwich Shop is similar to other top sandwich spots in Shreveport, which are also on this guide, in that they all serve fresh sandwiches and have friendly service. But only at Doc’s can you get the hot ham with Lifette pickles, the poblano pepper with chicken, and throw in extras like the smash burger on a house-made bun and the large mac and cheese.
(There’s also customizable veggie toppings for an extra charge.) The sandwich shop has the versatility to work for a quick lunch alone and a casual meal with friends where you’ll share complimentary cookies and water and want to try everything in the to-go cooler.
Firehouse Subs Shreveport
$ | (318) 550-3910 | WEBSITE
You could pack a lunch from home, but then you’d have to shop, prep, and deal with the midday rush. So head to Firehouse Subs Shreveport instead. This popular lunch spot is always welcoming and friendly feeling. You’ll grab a quick bite with coworkers or solo over a satisfying $12 veggie sub sandwich. You may need to navigate the occasional lunch crowd, but it’s worth the minor wait.
It’s the only place in Shreveport where you can enjoy consistently good food with delicious bread, have attentive service from the friendly register staff and that helpful lady in the different shirt, and park easily with plenty of spots while knowing any issues will be promptly fixed.
Chicken Salad Chick
$ | (318) 524-9960 | WEBSITE
We love Shreveport’s Chicken Salad Chick for the great chicken salad and welcoming atmosphere. But when we want to take lunch up a few notches, we head to the patio for the pleasant outdoor seating. There’s clean tables, nice weather, and a friendly staff where you can enjoy your meal during a relaxing midday break.
At $12 a person, you can share casual plates like the popular Chicken Salad BLT and sides including Broccoli Salad and Grape Salad, or try the more substantial catering service with seamless personalized experience and consistently high standards. If you enjoy a little too much White Chocolate Cake, you can always come back the next week and recover with a fresh chicken salad option.
Jimmy John’s
$ | (318) 797-5800 | WEBSITE
Sure, you could swing by Jimmy John’s for a quick lunch and grab one of their popular submarine sandwiches. You could stop in for an afternoon snack and try the Little John option. Or you could show up hungry after work and appreciate their friendly, professional staff who aim to please with quick service. Located in Shreveport, the menu offers a variety of options that provide good taste and value for customers.
Definitely go back to Jimmy John’s the next day for another sandwich, though, if you can convince yourself it’s worth another visit despite the occasional quality variations.
PO Boy Express
$ | (318) 861-4202 | WEBSITE
In the old days, the only sandwiches you could find around here were soggy subs, bland wraps, and sad deli meat. Lucky for us, Shreveport’s PO Boy Express came along. Inside you’ll find a cozy LSU-themed space with friendly faces and a relaxed vibe that welcomes everyone from die-hard fans to sandwich lovers. The menu includes mouthwatering options like their standout roast beef po’ boy cooked to perfection, satisfying vegetarian salads, and all the classic po’ boys you could want.
Bring your crew for a quick bite at the drive-through or settle in with ample parking when you’re craving something truly delicious.
McAlister’s Deli
$ | (318) 749-2454 | WEBSITE
Sometimes you just want a sandwich that hits the spot without any fuss. That’s where McAlister’s Deli comes in. This friendly spot in Shreveport has a straightforward menu with sandwiches like turkey clubs and classic Reubens that are perfect for a quick lunch or casual dinner. Come here to sit at clean tables, enjoy the welcoming atmosphere, and eat while Antavion personally prepares your order with a smile. Also, be prepared for a short wait at the register, so plan accordingly.
Bayou Deli & Casserole Shop LLC
$ | (318) 754-4009 | WEBSITE
For some, Bayou Deli is a cozy-yet-affordable lunch spot where you can get hearty sandwiches like the Man-Chac piled high with generous meat portions or the classic Muffaletta with its outstanding flavors. For others, the deli is ideal for grabbing a casserole to go and connecting with the friendly owners. Whichever way you go, this Shreveport spot is a certified gem (and one of the more popular sandwich shops in town).
Plus, with its down-home feel and meticulous packaging, it feels like it got dressed up for a Southern comfort-food theme party and decided to stick with the costume.
Counter Culture
$ | (318) 868-4242 | WEBSITE
This compact sandwich shop is the only spot in town offering the Humphrey Yogurt with strawberries, granola, and honey, and a standout one at that. For $12 per person, you’ll get a tuna salad wrap, the signature yogurt parfait, a pecan parfait with fresh strawberries and smooth yogurt, and a few other quick, delicious options. It’s a satisfying meal, and therefore a solid choice for someone seeking a fast, friendly bite.
