Peanut Butter And Jelly
The top ten sandwiches in the U.S. definitely include a few peanut butter and jellies, which isn't too surprising. This all-American sandwich is iconic from the moment kids find it in their lunchboxes until the moment it's made by an adult as a midnight snack.
Club
The club sandwich is yet another American staple and, no matter where it's ordered, its ingredients and layers remain exactly the same. Believe it or not, the club sandwich, at its purest form, is simply just a double-layered BLT. The name 'club' comes from 'Chicken and Lettuce under Bacon' according to Far and Wide.
Tuna
Tuna can be dressed up in a number of ways but classically, it's served just like every other sandwich in the U.S. - with lettuce, tomato, and cheese. Interestingly, though, tuna is another sandwich choice that's either loved or hated by most people.
Roast Beef
There's something delightful about a roast beef sandwich that's overflowing with juicy meat and is sandwiched between layers of horseradish sauce, which is classic for the sandwich. While the deliciousness of roast beef can't be underestimated, the horseradish is really the most exciting thing about it.
Turkey
Let's be honest: turkey sandwiches are not the most interesting of sandwiches. Turkey, itself, is not much different than having a plain chicken cutlet on a sandwich but it does go well with most condiments. It's practically a blank slate with the addition of lettuce and tomato, but that's also why so many people like it.
Grilled Chicken
Go figure, out of all the sandwiches that could possibly be eaten in the U.S., the second most popular is any sandwich with grilled chicken on it. It leads one to wonder if sandwiches are even liked in the U.S. considering grilled chicken is practically the main course on its own... just shoved between two slices of bread.
Grilled Cheese
Of course, the one and only, grilled cheese. This is the single most popular sandwich in the U.S. Some would argue that it's far too boring to be number one while others could argue that the cheese is what makes the sandwich so unique - and, around the world, many countries would agree with the latter.
5. Muffuletta from New Orleans Central Grocery (New Orleans)

6. Lobster Roll from Walrus Oyster & Ale House (Maryland)
The lobster roll may be native to New England, but Walrus Oyster & Ale House in Maryland truly elevates this sandwich. When you want a comforting and filling sandwich, there’s nothing quite like a lobster roll.
7. Overnight Duck Confit Banh Mi from Duckfat (Maine)
It wouldn’t be a list about sandwiches without mentioning a banh mi! And while this isn’t your traditional banh mi, it’s still one that is noteworthy. Duckfat’s banh mi includes duck confit, pate, pickled vegetables, cilantro, and mint, all served on a fresh bread baked daily by Botto’s Bakery.
9. Carnitas Torta from La Torta Gorda (San Francisco)

10. Chicken Biscuit from Biscuit Love (Nashville)
