Finding a good sandwich shop in Naples, Florida, is as easy as finding a beautiful shell on one of the area's Gulf Coast beaches. You have to know where to look, but just as Naples boasts beautiful beaches and some of the state's finest golf courses, so too does this quiet community have the restaurants, cafes, bars and shops for the golfers and beach goers who flock there .
Neumann's Deli and Restaurant
Near the golf courses of eastern Naples, Neumann's Deli on Pine Ridge Road is not your typical delicatessen. The menu will surprise you with its variety (try the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon or the sweet potato pancakes with peach butter) before heading out for a round of golf at nearby LaPlaya Beach and Golf Resort course (aplayaresort.com/laplaya_golfclub) or make it a lunch stop for an unforgettable portobello mushroom burger or a traditional sandwich piled high (all the servings here are huge) with some hard-to-find or very familiar deli meats.

McCabe's Irish Pub and Grill
Amid the posh cafes and restaurants in Naples' downtown Fifth Avenue district is an oasis of casual charm and high spirits, not to mention some delicious English beers and pub food. McCabe's is situated in a former bank (the wine cellar is the old vault) and is the restaurant belonging to the Inn on Fifth hotel next door. But it's not just about fish and chips. Try the Angus beef burger and fries (dip them in malt vinegar for a more "official" Irish experience) or the O'Reilly's Reuben or the McCabe's Club for a hearty sandwich you can wash down with a frothy pint or two.

Sam Snead's Tavern
OK, Sam Snead's Tavern in Naples is technically part of a chain, but it's a vastly superior choice to the local fast food options. The restaurant is less than a mile from the Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort (ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties/NaplesGolf), making it a perfect place to stop in before an afternoon of golf or at the end of a round to trade stories over a burger, Reuben or Sam Snead's signature filet mignon sandwich.
