Whether it’s a small family-run spot or a bustling neighborhood favorite (or both), this California staple knows how to deliver the kind of sandwich that keeps people coming back time and time again.

From fresh, quality ingredients to that secret touch in the preparation, every detail is carefully considered. It’s the kind of place where the atmosphere feels welcoming and every bite tells a story. No matter where you are in California, this restaurant stands out as a culinary landmark and a must-visit destination for sandwich lovers and food explorers alike.

According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the restaurant that serves the best sandwich (The Manwich) in California is Sierra Subs and Salads in Three Rivers.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about the restaurant that serves the absolute best sandwich in the state:

"Sandwich joints don’t get more scenic than this destination shop, nestled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Named the eighth best restaurant in the whole of the US in Yelp’s 2024 Top 100 Places to Eat list, a visit here is certainly worth the trip. All sauces and salsas are made fresh, and fans rave about the generous portions and creative fillings. Customers particularly rate the mighty Manwich: a double decker of toasted sourdough stuffed with turkey, ham, salami, bacon, avocado, olive tapenade, and provolone."
