I was just over at the Food Mill looking for this and that..didn't find either one, but on my way out I glanced over at The Saint Sandwich Shop and remembered when Oscar Mendoza told me about the great sandwiches they put out, so I went over and got a chicken salad sandwich...it was so good, I got another! 5 stars for each one!

Awesome to see a new sandwich shop in the Dimond/Laurel area! The shop itself is very cute and stylish. We had the Bird and Bay sandwiches -- all the ingredients, including the meat, cheese, and bread, tasted very fresh. Right now, during their soft opening, it looks like they have a fixed menu on sandwiches and salads, but hopefully, there will be more "create-your-own" options in the future.

Always the freshest sandwiches made by a staff that cares about quality. We live in the area and order regularly. The photo I took is the The Saint and it's BOMB! (I took a few bites already as I couldn't wait haha.) Please visit The Saint Sandwich Shop if you haven't yet!!!

First time here today and all was good! Great lunch spot! The sandwich was cut in half and very tasty and big. The side of pickles were even fresh and delicious! It was called "The Bay". The meat in the sandwich was really good and fresh! The Chipotle pasta salad was so flavorful. The cookie was so soft! So good! I am so happy I found this place. I will be back to try more! They even have vegetarian options. They just changed their hours so they are open 11-4pm everyday. Go checkout! Beautifully decorated inside. It's a vibe!

Let me tell you about The Saint: This sandwich shop is tasty enough to be a destination, but I am lucky enough to live right around the corner. I see some people saying it’s overpriced. I cannot disagree more. Ingredients are as fresh as can be, portions are incredibly generous, and for $16 you get a sandwich that normally lasts me two meals. It’s a twenty dollar sandwich. They are great neighbors and kind people and I wish them the best. No notes five stars hell yeah.

We were looking for a nice sandwich close to me and found the Saint sandwich shop and glad we did. I ordered the saint sandwich and my wife ordered the diamond. Both were very delicious. 100% will come here again. The service was also very friendly. There is indoor and outdoor sitting if you like to eat there.

Nut allergy friendly - I put a note on GrubHub and everything turned out fine. Review is for take-out via GrubHub, which estimated a 30 minute wait on a Sunday afternoon. It seemed accurate and my order was ready when I arrived. I ordered "The Bay" as it was highlighted as a popular option. It is exactly as described with turkey, roast beef, yellow cheddar, and vegetables in a sesame roll. The meat was sliced thin and it was a pretty hefty sandwich. I'd say it's more expensive than I would normally pay for a sandwich and as a deli the portions are interestingly right between "not enough" and "too much." I split the sandwich with a friend for lunch and I could've eaten more afterwards, but I don't think I could've finished another half of a sandwich. Maybe with some chips or a drink it would have been perfect. Anyway, don't be afraid of the price tag as the sandwich could easily be two portions!

The saint is one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The high quality ingredients (the meats & pickled onions and peppers) fresh rolls (saint has a sesame bun) with a pepper spread on the bottom makes for an amazing sandwich. The shop is cramped with a few tables and a few bar seats but it’s clear that they’ve invested some time in making it have a good vibe. Take out would probably be the best move. The cookies are a buttery tollhouse-style chocolate chip so if you like those grab some fresh out of the oven. Staff were good and seemed to care about making a quality product.
