Looking for the perfect sandwich can feel like a quest, but Southlake is packed with shops that turn a simple lunch into something unforgettable. From smoky brisket piled high on soft buns to sharp, gooey melts and crisp banh mi, these local spots serve up flavor in every bite.
Let’s get to it.
Feedstore BBQ & More
You’ll find Feedstore BBQ & More on S. White Chapel in Southlake, where a former 1950s feed store now draws fans of slow-smoked Texas barbecue. Family owned since 2001, they hand-trim Certified Hereford Beef and work with local growers through the GO TEXAN program. Brisket—sliced or chopped, wet or dry—ranks as a top pick, but turkey, pulled pork, sausage, and hot links also shine, whether ordered à la carte, piled on a soft toasted bun, or featured as plate specials with generous sides.
Inside, wood-paneled walls and neon signs create a vintage general-store-meets-roadhouse vibe. Guests grab trays, help themselves to the self-serve drink station, and settle in without hurry. Big-bowl salads like the Feedstore or the Turkey & Ham Cobb add a lighter touch, and sides—including gluten-free options—start under two dollars. Sandwiches begin around $5.50, brisket by the pound is $13.99, and burgers hover near six dollars. Dine-in moves at a relaxed pace while takeout and drive-thru run like clockwork. Catering packages are available for any gathering, from backyard barbecues to office lunches.
Taverna Rossa
At Taverna Rossa in Southlake, you’ll often spot patio doors flung open to let in a breeze and the buzz of conversation. Nestled in Park Village shopping center, this casual Italian eatery serves thin-crust pizzas alongside toasted sandwiches with standout ingredients. Think the Rossa BLT, layered with crispy pancetta, Lemley’s tomatoes, and arugula under a lemon-garlic aioli, or the hot grinder packed with Luscher’s Italian sausage and house-made meatballs on classic Amoroso’s hoagie bread.
Quality shines through local brisket from Hamm’s, slow-roasted pork prepared in-house, and fresh loaves from Village Bakery. Portions run hearty but never greasy, and most sandwiches land in the $11–$12 range. Weekends bring a lively brunch crowd sipping craft beers or cocktails from the bar. Gluten-free and vegan options ensure everyone feels welcome. While dine-in captures the true vibe, takeout and catering are just as seamless for those busy nights at home or smaller gatherings.
Eggsquisite Cafe Southlake
Early birds and brunch lovers will appreciate Eggsquisite Cafe Southlake on North Kimball Avenue. This bright, friendly spot puts a creative spin on breakfast-lunch classics without drifting into fussiness. The Bourbon Grilled Cheese pairs cheddar and Havarti with grilled tomatoes and bacon, while the Brie Grilled Cheese stacks creamy brie, bacon, and sliced apple on freshly baked sourdough.
If you crave something more savory, the Buffalo BLT layers spicy chicken and Havarti on a pillowy ciabatta roll. The Steak Sandwich doesn’t hold back, with a hefty New York strip and caramelized onions on a French roll. Even traditional BLTs or chicken salad Waldorf-style get extra care, down to the flaky croissant.
Inside, roomy family seating and a low-key counter model make for a relaxed, community-spot feel. Ordering is easy, with curbside pickup and delivery just a click away. Open daily from sunrise until 3 pm, this café welcomes everyone from pajama-clad morning walkers to guests dressed for a Sunday gathering. Portions are satisfying, and there are plenty of options for vegetarians or anyone looking to keep it light.
Jellico’s
Located inside The Westin Southlake, Jellico’s brings Southern classics and thoughtful twists to the table. Lunch features standout sandwiches like the Reuben—house-shaved corned beef on marble rye piled high with Swiss and sauerkraut—and a BLT on thick-cut brioche with applewood bacon. Each comes with your choice of seasoned fries or a crisp side salad.
Other favorites include a chicken club on grilled sourdough with lemon aioli and a short rib ciabatta featuring pepper Jack cheese and caramelized onions. Bread is more than a vessel here; brioche, sourdough, marble rye, and ciabatta each add flavor and texture. Greens are well represented too, with fresh salads and a tofu stir-fry option on the menu, plus gluten-free accommodations.
Be sure to check out the live jazz brunch on Sundays. Whether you arrive for an early breakfast, a leisurely lunch, or late-night bar bites, Jellico’s welcoming atmosphere and attentive service make it an easy choice any time of day.
Cork & Pig Tavern Southlake
Walking into Cork & Pig Tavern Southlake, you notice its warm, rustic vibe right away. The polished-casual dining room sets the stage for everything from wood-fired pizzas to hearty prime rib dip sandwiches. In the kitchen, wagyu patties are butchered in-house for the Smash Burger, and prime rib is shaved fresh for the Dip.
Sandwich lovers can choose from a Cuban, Crispy Fish, or even the Commuter Sandwich at brunch, all built on proper bread—brioche buns, toasted rye, or a poppyseed torta. Portions are generous, and most sandwiches fall in the upper teens to low $20 range. Weekend brunch adds pancakes and house-made biscuits to the lineup.
Dietary tweaks aren’t an afterthought here either. You’ll find cauliflower-crust pizzas, gluten-free biscuits, plus a selection of salads and veggie pies.

Joe’s Pizza Pasta Subs
When you walk into Joe’s Pizza Pasta Subs in Southlake, you’ll find a menu packed with classic Italian-American favorites. They bake their Italian rolls in-house to order, so each sandwich has just the right crust and chew.
Hot subs take center stage: the meatball Parm, chicken Parm and Philly cheesesteak are all smothered in house-made marinara sauce and plenty of melted mozzarella. Cold-cut fans will enjoy the Super Sub, piled high with capicolla, ham, salami and provolone on a sturdy, freshly baked roll. Portions are hearty, and most subs cost in the low teens.
Pizza is available by the slice or pie, while pastas, stromboli, garlic knots and salads cover just about every craving. The family-run counter-service spot sits in a busy strip mall. Seating is limited, so most people grab takeout or use the Slice app, but the friendly staff keeps things moving. Closed on Mondays and open for lunch through late dinner the rest of the week, Joe’s is a reliable local choice for a quick, filling meal.
Original ChopShop
You’ll notice right away how Original ChopShop puts fresh, organic ingredients front and center. Sandwiches arrive hot or cold, piled high with grilled chicken, prosciutto, steak or a veggie-hummus wrap served on multi-grain, house-baked bread. You won’t be left hungry an hour later.
Their “chops”—bowls and salads—are anything but tossed together. They arrive loaded with proteins ranging from shrimp and steak to tofu and tempeh. Vegan, keto and gluten-free options make customization easy, and the crisp, colorful produce often comes straight from local farms.
The counter-service setup is perfect for families or office groups, and there’s even patio seating if you’ve brought your dog along. Breakfast wraps and avocado toast are available all day.

Viet Fast Food
Since it opened in late 2023, Viet Fast Food has quietly become a Southlake favorite. Tucked into a plain strip mall, the real draw is the counter, where more than 50 Vietnamese staples roll out all day. Bowls of pho, rice plates and a variety of banh mi riffs keep regulars coming back.
The banh mi section features pork belly, lemongrass grilled chicken and traditional cold cuts with house-made pâté, all served on a fresh, never-stale baguette you can toast upon request. Combo prices land under $10, but the portions are generous enough to satisfy any appetite. Vegetarians and gluten-averse diners can swap in tofu or extra veggies on many dishes.
Every ingredient is prepped in-house, from crisp veggies to daily-marinated meats. Ordering is straightforward—dine-in, takeout or online pick-up—and the friendly, family-run team greets you with a smile. With its clean, no-nonsense vibe, it’s a local gem that puts freshness front and center.
Great Harvest Bread Co.
Inside Great Harvest Bread Co., the warm aroma of freshly milled wheat greets you first. This Southlake bakery-café has been perfecting scratch-made whole grain loaves for more than twenty years. Honey Whole Wheat and Dakota loaves are milled on site from Montana-grown wheat, and you can taste that care in each slice.
Sandwich choices range from classic cold builds to a Cubano and the indulgent Grown Up Grilled Cheese. Vegetarian and vegan guests can enjoy a Veggie Hummus bowl or Roasted Carrot Tahini creation, complete with house-made dressings. Kids get their own menu featuring PB&J and grilled cheese, so everyone leaves happy.
Breakfast is served all day, whether you need a coffee with an egg sandwich or want to linger over a cinnamon swirl pastry. Locally roasted coffee keeps regulars coming back, and the casual counter-service space makes it easy to stay or grab takeout. Prices are reasonable, matching the standout quality of their breads and bowls.

The menu covers hot and cold classics like the Black Angus Club, Reuben and Harvest Chicken Salad. Veggie options include garden salads and broccoli and cheddar soup, which pairs nicely in the Choose Two combo if you want half-and-half.
Their spuds are genuine Idaho russets, large enough for any topping you can imagine and priced between $8 and $13. Handmade soups and salads round out the lineup, and their sweet tea—brewed with Rainforest Alliance certified leaves—has its own following.
The Southlake dining room feels relaxed, and service is friendly but efficient. You can order at the counter, online or via the app, and takeout moves quickly. With sandwich prices around $10–$16 and portions that often require a fork, it’s a fuss-free spot for a filling meal.
Jersey Mike’s Subs
At Jersey Mike’s Subs, you won’t find pre-sliced rubbery meats. Every sandwich starts with fresh cuts from their in-house deli slicer, and the portions are generous—especially if you opt for a Giant sub. Their white rolls are baked right in the store, delivering that classic East Coast chew and crust. Whole wheat is available too, and occasionally a specialty loaf pops up, but the original white does the trick every time.
Cold cuts shine here, with the Italian sub stacking salami, pepperoni, provolone, and more. The menu also offers hearty grilled options, like the Big Kahuna Chicken cheesesteak, plus a solid tuna for purists. Vegetarians get a Veggie sub packed with cheese and greens, or a hot Portabella Mushroom & Swiss. For those watching carbs, there’s a “No Bread” option that wraps your fillings in lettuce.
Inside, it’s mostly counter seating in a bright, unfussy space. Staff move quickly and call out orders as they build them. Whether it’s a speedy lunch or a catering box for a gathering, locals have been swinging by until 9 pm since this shop opened almost a decade ago.
Modern Market Eatery – Southlake
Visiting Modern Market Eatery in Southlake offers a choice between sandwiches like the Basil Chicken, featuring herb-marinated roasted chicken, basil aioli, and a hefty pile of arugula, or the inventive Blueberry Pesto with blueberry chia jam and fresh mozzarella on toasted ciabatta. You can’t miss the Bacon Jam Club on multigrain bread, piled high with nitrite-free bacon and kale jalapeño slaw. Every sandwich comes with a side of house kettle chips that strike just the right salty note. Prices range from about $8 to $11, and the eatery stays open from late morning through dinner.
The open counter-service format can get lively, but the décor is clean and modern.
