Whether you live in Langley or you’re just visiting the city to see the historic sites, it’s important to be well fed. These local restaurants are known in the area for offering an outstanding and quick sandwich.
Perhaps you’ve never been to the Hilltop Diner, but there’s a good chance you’ve seen it in one of the many movies and TV shows that have been filmed here. It’s more than just a famous backdrop, however. It’s also one of the best diners in the Langley area. The kitchen serves up classic sandwiches made with house-prepared meats. Grab an amazing cheesesteak or traditional club house sandwich in a fun retro setting.
Montreal might be a long way from Langley but that doesn’t mean you can’t get a more-than-decent smoked meat sandwich. Estrella’s prides itself in creating the most authentic smoked meat experience anywhere in the Lower Mainland. Their sandwiches come in four sizes from small to extra-large, all of them piled high with their juicy brisket that’s smoked in-house. They also have a selection of classic deli sandwiches and made-from-scratch soups.
Located in historic Fort Langley, Say Cheese is a sandwich shop dedicated to everything grilled cheese. Here the nostalgic childhood classic gets a makeover with a number of original toppings and dressings. Try the sweet hawaiian hula (with sweet chili, ham, pineapple and mozzarella), the butter chicken (with butter chicken, cilantro and mango chutney), or Mom’s meatloaf (topped with homemade meatloaf and spicy marinara sauce). Wanna keep it simple? Don’t worry; they’ve got a classic grilled cheese as well.
One of Langley’s hidden gems, the Road Runner Café is another take on the classic diner, providing customers with large portions at affordable prices. In addition to their awesome breakfasts and juicy burgers, they also offer several hot sandwiches, including chicken, turkey, and roast beef served with an awesome beef dip. You have a choice of mashed potatoes, fries or steamed veggies to go with your selection.
If you’re pressed for time or just looking for a regular stop for a quick lunch, then look no further than Doris’. Not only is this shop a great place to get some hard-to-find European grocery items, but it’s a respectable deli as well. There is a small lunch menu that includes bratwurst, schnitzel and soup, and they make some of the best custom sandwiches and wraps in the area.
