If you’re looking to satisfy your hunger, look no further than two slices of bread filled with your favorite sandwich stuffing, be it turkey, pastrami, cheese, or perhaps some vegetarian options like sprouts or hummus.

Wherever you go in the United States, you can find a great sandwich to soothe your hunger pangs when lunchtime rolls around. When you’re in New York City, go for a stacked pastrami on rye. Or, if you’re taking a trip to New Orleans, be sure to grab a po’ boy with plenty of shrimp.

Regular: The Best Cheap Eats in Every State

Take a road trip across the country, and you’ll be happy to find plenty of reubens, BLTs and French dips along the way. But some sandwiches are more delicious than others.

To find the best sandwich spots in the U.S., Yelp looked at businesses listed in the “sandwich” category that were not part of a large chain, then applied an algorithm to rank them based on the number of reviews and star ratings.

The result? The sandwich spot in each of the 50 states (and D.C.) that you HAVE to visit. Mayo is optional.
