For many busy Sacramento State students, it’s hard to choose from the many sandwich places on campus, let alone sit down for a complete meal.

From the curry chicken panini to the veggie delight, members of the campus community have many sandwiches to choose from.

Sac State has 16 eateries that serve mouth-watering sandwiches. Here are some of the places that serve some of the best on campus.

Epicure Restaurant

Location: University Union

Recommended sandwiches: Flat iron steak sandwich, buffalo chicken sliders

Special diets accommodations: Vegetarian

Notes: Epicure offers students, faculty and staff the ambiance of a relaxed dining setting if they want to get away from the typical fast food fare that usually comes along with college campuses.

Like the restaurant’s settings, Epicure has upscale sandwiches like the vegetarian muffaletta, which consists of grilled zucchini, squash, eggplant, olive tapenade and tomato in between a vegetarian focaccia.

Another sandwich worthy of the restaurant’s setting is the flat iron steak sandwich. The sandwich, which is a grilled flat iron steak with caramelized onion and a chimichurri sauce served on a French baguette is a refreshing sandwich to chow down on when you’re looking for something other than a Whopper Jr. The flavorful sandwich is served with either a salad or side of fries and kalamata aioli.

Mother India

Location: University Union

Recommended wraps: Veggie wrap and chicken wrap.

Special diets accommodations: Vegan and vegetarian-friendly.

Notes: Mother India provides an alternative to the generic sandwich with its hefty and hearty wraps that are all topped with spicy cilantro. The chicken and the veggie wrap both contain seasoned vegetables and juicy tomato, but the protein provided with the boneless chicken featured in the chicken wrap will likely help a student stay full longer. The wrap options have pretty large servings of food and are an excellent solution to students that find themselves very hungry.

Subway

Location: Beside the Hornet Bookstore, across from the parking structure.

Recommended sandwiches: Turkey and bacon avocado, oven roasted chicken and veggie delite.

Special diets accommodations: Vegan and vegetarian-friendly.

Notes: Subway is notorious for its cheap prices which don’t always guarantee freshness but are easy on the wallet. For the entire month of April Subway is allowing customers to get a free six inch sandwich with the purchase of any six inch sandwich, daily until 9 a.m.

The turkey and bacon avocado is a winner on the menu for containing 22 grams of protein, its low fat content, creamy avocado, a steaming combination of turkey and crispy bacon, and is also a favorite of student Rebecca Miles.

“I think the turkey and bacon avocado is the best sandwich you can get at Subway because it’s delicious and will get you the most bang for your buck,” said Miles.

Good Eats

Location: University Union

Recommended sandwiches: Rotisserie chicken and hummus sandwich.

Special diets accommodations: Vegan and vegetarian-friendly.

Notes: Good Eats caters to those who prefer special toppings, such as chipotle sauce, pesto sauce or au jus fillings, and chicken in their sandwich. Sandwiches are completed with flaky baguettes and the house speciality, seasoned and roasted chicken, comes in dark or white meat. Despite the emphasis on rotisserie chicken at Good Eats, they still keep vegetarians in mind by offering rich hummus as an alternative to meat in sandwiches.

Gordito Burrito Xpress

Location: Riverfront Center

Recommended sandwich: The torta sandwich with carne asada

Special diets accommodations: None

Notes: Gordito Burrito’s torta sandwich is the ideal if you’re craving Mexican food, but aren’t in the mood for burritos.

Like the typical sandwich, the torta consists of tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, meat and cheese.

Although it sounds normal, what gives the sandwich its Mexican appeal is the meat.

Whether you prefer grilled chicken, carnitas boiled in spices or carne asada filled with that grilled, smoky taste, the torta sandwich is filling since the meal comes with chips, salsa and a soda.

Togo’s

Location: Riverfront Center

Recommended sandwiches: Turkey and cheese, viva veggie wrap and avocado and cucumber.

Special diet accommodations: Vegan and vegetarian-friendly.

Notes: With crisp vegetables, extra meat in comparison to competitor’s sandwiches and fresh baked artisan bread, such as San Francisco style sourdough or Parmesan cheese, and smiling employees happy to ask about your day, it’s no wonder Togo’s will often have long lines in the afternoon.

“Our most popular sandwich is a number three, the turkey and cheese,” said Estefania Coronel.

Student Josh Voisey is so satisfied with the energy and filling nature the 42 grams of protein in a number three gives him that his order at Togo’s does not waiver.

“Every day I order a turkey and cheese on whole wheat,” said Voisey.

The Buzz

Location: Inside the University Union across from the Games Room

Recommended sandwiches: Curry chicken panini, Sicilian turkey panini

Special diets: Vegetarian

Notes: With its offerings of salmon burgers, turkey and cranberry sandwiches, The Buzz gives the Sac State crowd freshly made sandwiches that are grilled or assembled that day to appease their appetites.

The Buzz offers a different special panini every day, including the curry chicken panini every Thursday.

The curry chicken panini, which contains chicken, curry mayonnaise, sliced green apples, red onions, mozzarella and cilantro, is freshly grilled. The slight spice of the mayonnaise along with the crisp sweetness of the apples makes it worth waiting for this weekly special.
