Best place in all of Albany for a lunch or deli-style sandwiches. Very popular with the surrounding office works on lunch, despite being such a seemingly hidden space off of Pearl Street. Always seems to have a steady stream of customers, but the line typically moves incredibly fast; their specialty is employees with a short lunch break. Extremely friendly staff with a real authentic, tiny 'family-run ' feel to it. Good selection of meats, breads, and condiments with all kinds of drinks, snacks/sides, and usually a few options for small desserts. Cash only, but definitely worth a trip to the ATM around the corner (inside Jonathan 's Pizza).
I worked with Jim and Sue in 1980, just after they opened Sandwiches To Go, delivering lunches, working the sandwich bus on the Mall, and learning all I could from Jim. Thirty years later, I came back to the area, and they still had the best quality ingredients and laid-back good nature that set them apart way back when. Today, they've still got the best lunch to go in the Capitol District.
This place is incredibly delicious and welcoming. They receive fresh rye bread every day and prepare their own meats. The pastrami was fantastic! They also make their own Russian dressing. I'm thrilled to be working near this location. Sue was very friendly and took the time to explain the menu to me since it was my first visit.
I’ve never been to a sandwich shop with so many options and such quick service. It felt like they knew my order before I even walked in, as it was being prepared the moment I spoke. I really appreciate the effort this team puts in. If you’re in Albany and want a quick meal, you should definitely check out Sandwiches to Go!

This place has the best sandwiches in downtown Albany. They only accept cash. I usually go for the homemade turkey sandwich, and they also offer half sour pickles like the ones you find in NYC delis. The staff is fantastic—always friendly, and the service is quick once you reach the counter.
Large sandwiches, fresh meats. I love the fresh shaved turkey. Good bread. Nice people. Quick service. You can eat upstairs.
I've been eating Sandwiches from Sandwiches To Go since I was 8 years old. Jim Sue are the very best.
Everything is homemade and fresh. The rye sandwich is filling enough for such a cheap price.
