Hey, sandwich lovers! If you’re anything like me, there’s nothing quite like sinking your teeth into a perfectly stacked sub, a gooey grilled cheese, or a spicy chicken sammy to make your day. And today—November 3, 2025—just got a whole lot better because it’s **National Sandwich Day**! This unofficial holiday honors the Earl of Sandwich (yep, that guy who supposedly invented the handheld wonder back in 1762) and celebrates our favorite portable meal with a flurry of mouthwatering deals from coast to coast.
Whether you’re craving a classic footlong, a gourmet wrap, or something fried and fabulous, restaurants are rolling out the red carpet (or should I say, the rye bread?). We’ve rounded up the best promotions happening *today*, so grab your app, loyalty card, or stretchy pants, and let’s dive into the deals. Pro tip: Many require rewards membership or app orders, so sign up if you haven’t already—it’s free and often comes with bonus perks.
Why National Sandwich Day Rocks (And How to Maximize It)
Before we get to the grub, a quick history bite: National Sandwich Day falls on November 3 each year, the birthday of John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich. Legend has it he demanded meat between bread slices so he could eat without interrupting his card game. Genius, right? Today, we’re toasting his legacy with discounts that could save you enough for a side of fries (or two).
To make the most of it:
– Download apps and join rewards programs ahead of time.
– Check participating locations, as deals vary by spot.
– Pair your sammy with a drink or side for a full feast under budget.
Now, onto the star of the show: the deals!
