“One of my favorite sandwich shops that's not on this list that I absolutely love is Brancaccio's on Ft. Hamilton in Brooklyn. I've been getting sandwiches there for over a decade, and never once have I had a bad experience.”

replying to u/IManageTacoBell: Was looking for this honestly one of the best sandwiches in the city and none of the insane hype. Get the chicken special. The parm and meatball are also both solid.
“This place is a gem! The meatball with mozz sandwich is incredible (note this has raisins and pine nuts), the chicken cutlet with guacamole, gorgonzola and balsamic, the polenta crusted tilapia with artichoke and tartar sauce are all so so good.”

“Brancaccios on Fort Hamilton Parkway for high quality, creative sandwiches. Not heros but the bread is excellent and they’re packed with flavor. I like the roast pork and the chicken artichoke, but everything is great.”

“I second Brancaccio’s, but it can be very hit and miss. The chicken cutlet sandwiches all tend to be too dry for my liking, but the tuna with chilies, the meatball and roasted pork are all KOs”

replying to u/Odd_Ad_2232: Went to broncaccio's the owner was smig, rude and self aggrandizing. No line, still took me like 20 mins to get my food. The sandwich itself was pretty good, if a bit over priced. I left a negative review online and he replied with hostility and got it taken down. Have noticed other negative reviews get taken down since then.
“the staff quite literally laughed in my face for expecting there to still be bread to make sandwiches. Haven’t bothered to go back.”

replying to u/Gato1980: One of my favorite sandwich shops that's not on this list that I absolutely love is Brancaccio's on Ft. Hamilton in Brooklyn. I've been getting sandwiches there for over a decade, and never once have I had a bad experience. It's an Italian food shop, and the owner Joe is incredible and has maintained the quality so well over the years. They do about 12 different breakfast sandwiches in the morning and 20 or so lunch sandwiches in the afternoon. Everything is made fresh daily and to order, and I can't recommend it enough. They also do incredible prepared foods as well. Such a great neighborhood spot.
“Favorite so far has been the Chicken Cacciatore but I’ve got a very long list to try.”

replying to u/Suitable-Peanut: I tried going there multiple times back when I lived in that area and every time they had run out of sandwiches in the middle of the day, hours before they were supposed to be closed. So I just gave up.
