I don’t need a national day or month to celebrate a good sandwich. Sure, some of the best ones may be made yourself in your own kitchen but sometimes you need the professionals to take over.
There are plenty of spots around the state we would recommend but we had to narrow this list down to just seven so we wouldn’t keep you all day.
So keep reading to find out more about our recommendations + send over what spots you think we missed to our social media channels.
5 Points Deli + Grill in Montgomery
- What: 5 Points Deli & Grill
- Where: 1010 E. Fairview Ave, Montgomery, AL 36106
- Hours: Monday-Saturday, 11AM-8PM
- Rec: You’re going to see a lot of good burgers on their menu and you wouldn’t be making a wrong choice with any of them but if you look at some of their recent posts, they have something new called the Big Squealer. And it’s all I can think about.
