  • CharlotteFive invites you to share the best sandwich shops in the area.
  • Nominated restaurants must be located in or near Charlotte.
  • We will invite readers to vote on their favorite local places to eat sandwiches.

Whether you’re in the mood for a BLT or grilled cheese, Charlotte is packed with places to satisfy your sandwich cravings.

But which spot has the best sandwiches? We want to hear about your favorite local places to get the lunchtime staple.

That’s why CharlotteFive is inviting you to share your recommendations for the local restaurants and delis that serve the best sandwiches in the Charlotte area. Fill out the nomination form at this link to tell us your top choice.

To be eligible, a restaurant must have a location in the Charlotte region — which includes surrounding areas such as Lake Norman, Gastonia, Matthews, Mint Hill and Fort Mill — and have fewer than 20 locations nationwide.

If it’s too difficult to pick the sandwich shop you love the most, feel free to submit more than one nomination. This contest is meant to be fun, not a scientific poll.

After we collect nominations, we will invite CharlotteFive readers to vote for their favorite sandwich shops. Keep an eye out for more details later this month.
