The manager/ owner is extremely rude. I explained to him the rice was not at all good his response was not his problem and o well. If you have a business for over 41 years like he said you should be better with customers

Been going to Havana Sandwich Shop for decades, my experiences are the opposite of yours.

Why is the food so delicious?!

I am Cuban born and raised in the US. My exposure to Cuban food was from family and restaurants in Dade County Florida (Miami), most notably, Versais on SW 8th St. The food at this establishment is authentic and it is delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal here and encountered friendly and polite service.

Found this place upon looking for empanadas. We tried the empanadas, papa rellena, croquettes, rice and beans, and rice pudding. The croquettes were heavenly and much better than the other local restaurant we tried a week ago. All of it was delicious really! And the service was nice. Please give this place a try and support this small business!

Basic, super clean shop with REALLY GOOD food! I would say "hidden gem" but with all the awards on the wall, it's clearly not a secret. Order at the counter and pick it up when they call your number. Best Cuban sandwich I've ever had. Tasted the black beans a friend ordered.. absolutely delicious, and I'm NOT a fan of black beans.

One of my favorites in Atlanta. You can have the hipster places. I love dives like this with great food. Also Brandi's Hot Dogs in Marietta. At Havana, I always get the half sammy with rice and beans. The one lady has been working here forever.

Amazing food! I remember coming here with my dad when I was a kid. They have moved locations and I am happy to see that they are back where they originally were. Great staff and super yummy food! My go do is the cuban with yellow rice and their bean soup. I love mixing the rice and soup together and covering my cuban with the mole sauce! Mmmm I'm hungry after writing this review!

Let me start by saying that I used to adore the Havana sandwich shop. Before the fire and move, it was a favorite spot. Even went to eat at the new spot down the road. I finally went in for some takeout since they moved back to their original location. I was very very disappointed. The bread was not pressed and the sandwich was a soggy mess by the time I got home (a short ride), and lacked flavor. The black beans and rice were ok. The rice pudding was very good. Add to this some really bad parking and I don't feel the need to go back. Seriously bummed.

I ordered the steak sandwich and really was hoping for the original like the ones in Miami but no 😔 they put lettuce and tomatoes which should not belong on the pan con bistec. But once I took it out the flavor of the sandwich was amazing! I will be back!

If you're looking for authentic Cuban food, look no longer! This place has been around for almost 50 years, which really says a lot about their quality of food. The prices are very reasonable, you'll spend no more than $8-10 for all of the sandwiches and lunch is $9.95 which includes rice & beans. Make sure to try the sauce on the table, I have no idea what it is but it is amazeballs!

WOW what a great little place. . I rarely give 5 stars. Always great hot and fresh food made fast to be enjoyed slowly. The flavors are authentic. People are very nice. Great atmosphere. The food is extremely good. Rice and black beans are also phenomenal. Probably the best Cuban sandwich I have had in Atlanta. Reasonably priced too, and the staff was friend and welcoming. Will definitely be back.

Food is great, prices are even better! I have had multiple meals here. I am a biiiig cuban cheese toast girl and the fact that they put garlic on their toast, WOW - total game changer. One thing that may surprise you...if you're thinking your sides will be rice and black beans think again. We had yellow rice and a tomato sauce. Good, but not quite what I had been anticipating.

I had the best Cuban sandwich I've ever had in Atlanta at this small, family run restaurant. The sandwich was huge and tasted very fresh. The bread was nice and crusty. The yellow rice was delicious, too. You order at the counter and they call your number. The line was crazy long by noon and all the tables filled. People from all walks of life there. Very popular eating spot. Be aware, it is LOUD in there when its busy, making conversation at your table difficult. But the Cuban sandwich is worth the visit!

World's best Cuban sandwiches period. The yucca is so light and tasty, the sandwiches are FULL of so many meats, vegetables, and goodies, and I swear the green sauce they serve has crack in it, as it is one of the best sauces I have ever had the priviledge of tasting.

Cafeteria style eatery with Cuban sandwiches and empanadas. Sides of beans are extra. Had the Cuban sandwich which was a bit too salty for me. The empanada I had was chicken, jalapeno and cheese - it was good. At $3 an empanada, it is a good deal.

I flew in for a conference and I was driving around looking for something to eat. As I was driving down the street I saw the sign that said Havana sandwich shop so I pulled in and give it a try. This was the best Cuban sandwich I've ever had and frankly I'm not sure there's a better Cuban sandwich in Cuba!I travel to South Florida a couple of times a year and I always like to find different sandwiches shops looking for that perfect Cuban. This joint has blown every other Cuban sandwich experience away. This sandwich is even heads and shoulders above the very famous Versailles.This sandwich is so impressive that I'm flying out on Saturday and I'm going to order one and take it back to my wife.This sandwich is so good that I would fly back down to Atlanta just so I could get another one. It was simply amazing, and I'm so happy that I stopped and gave it a chance.

Never had a Cuban sandwich before until I ate here. Meat was moist and tender. Sometimes the best things are the simplest things! I have been here a couple of times when I visited ATL, but never left a review! Just want everyone to know it is amazing and a must try.

It was ok. I had high hopes due to others reviews and friends stories. I thought everything was a bit bland and didn’t even bother taking home the leftovers. It isn’t very close to our house but I agreed to go. We won’t go back with better options closer to home.

Due to previous reviews I assume they were good at some point. Today, I ordered half Cuban sandwich with rice and beans. The beans were very watery and the rice overcooked. The part that made me decide this was the first and last time I ate there, however, was finding a piece of hard black plastic inside my sandwich. That is unacceptable on my book. Too bad. It looked promising.

This place is amazing. I've been coming here for many years and the food is always consistent. You know you're always going to get great food when you come here. I recommend the Milanesa sandwich a side of plantains and a couple of chicken, cheese and jalapeno empanadas. The rice and beans are also really good.

This may have been the worst Cuban Sandwich i have ever tried. If you had blindly handed me the sandwich and made me guess, i wouldn't have been able to tell you it was a Cuban. Very bland. Too much meat and it was not savory. Few pickles. Perhaps they made the wrong sandwich? However, the staff is friendly. Service is quick. I loved the restaurant itself. I would be willing to chalk this up as a mulligan and try a few more items on the menu.
