This Hole-In-The-Wall Joint Has The Best Sandwich In GA, Ranking Says

In Georgia, flashy diners and ostentatious restaurants aren’t the only places to find exceptional food. According to a recent ranking, their opposites are actually a better option.

In its ranking of the 50 Best Hole-In-The-Wall Sandwich Shops In Each State, Chowhound singled out Lee's Bakery in Atlanta, a Vietnamese sandwich shop on Buford Highway Northeast.

Lee’s Bakery serves banh mi sandwiches featuring fish, grilled pork, tofu and egg. Customers may also feast on pork or beef noodle soup, spring or egg rolls and various rice plates.

Here’s what some Google user reviews say about Lee’s Bakery:

“Pho was refreshing and light not oily. Pork offal congee was delicious. Crab soup was ok, I had better. Fast service. Bahn MI is good and crispy light bread.”

“First time here and we loved everything we ordered. Honey Dew smoothie highly recommended if you like sweet/tart flavors. The vermicelli bowl was prob the best one I’ve ever had. Pho and Banh Mi were very flavorful. We will be back!”

“Very charming establishment, very comfortable. This is probably the best pho I have had in the greater Atlanta area and the bahn mi was a real treat. I got the soup and half sandwich, price was around $13. After my meal, I was able to buy some homemade kimchi to take home with me. I will absolutely be back.”

Chowhound, an influential online food community and forum dedicated to finding “undiscovered” gems hidden in a region’s food scene, said the 50 sandwich shops on the list are places “where tradition and simple care yield unforgettable flavors.”

The ranking, based on consistent praise from loyal customers on social media, press chatter, and industry awards, represents the consummate “guide to the unpretentious heart of American sandwich culture,” Chowhound said.

“Whether you’re chasing a perfectly toasted grilled cheese, a smoky barbecue sandwich, or a cold-cut masterpiece layered just right, this guide is your roadmap to discovering the hidden gems that define America's sandwich culture, one humble counter and unforgettable bite at a time,” according to Chowhound.
