After all that Thanksgiving feasting, are you hungry for something simpler? Maybe a sandwich? There are great sandwich joints all over town, some of which even offer a version of Thanksgiving between slices of bread.

Molly Martin just served up her list of Denver’s standout sandwiches, as well as favorite neighborhood sandwich-centric spots, old-school Italian delis and top picks for sandwiches on a budget — 26 places in all.

In their comments on the Westword Facebook post of Molly’s list, readers dish up a few more favorites, as well as an appreciation of sandwiches in general. Says Frank:

Man does not live by bread alone! All those tasty things people put between the slices add up.

Will you step up to support Westword this year?

At Westword, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $20,000 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $50,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of Westword, now’s the time to give back.

Suggests Bobbi:

Great reviews and the almost-forgotten historical eateries in our ‘support local ownership’ of must-try diners and restaurants. Word of mouth seems to need a bullhorn of local advertising. My take.

Funny that Denver thinks it’s a food town!

Get Right’s on West 38th Avenue in Wheat Ridge is wonderful!

Adds Dan:

Jambon Beurre at Get Right’s was so good, but the crust on that sourdough is savage. I had a gum infection on the roof of my mouth and damn, that delicious sammy hurt.

Congress Park Market is the best! Such a great addition to our little neighborhood! The BLT is deeelish.

Responds Jeff:

And, the people who run the Congress Park Market are even better than their sandwiches!

Notes David:

Any best sandwich list that doesn’t include Las Tortas is wrong…

Molly replies:


Cool, ’cause they are on there.
