We stopped in based on the pictures alone and split an Italian and a Cuban.
Absolutely AMAZING sandwiches. Like, if I were local, this would be a regular spot!

Great local spot with amazing sandwiches! Best in Gainesville. Had #15 “the man in the black hat” half turkey and half brisket. So good! Not too far from I75 if you are looking for a stop on your road trip. Grace took our order and is awesome!

We decided to eat here after a campus tour of UF and I’m so glad we did! I had a delicious sandwich! The sour dough bread was really good! Really cute interior and they have a nice sized outdoor seating area!

This is a good looking place. The friendly atmosphere with the open kitchen design, polite staff, and games make it fun. If there is a guest Wi-Fi I couldn’t find it, which makes writing a review tough. The food looks amazing. They do have real straws, none of that mushy paper nonsense. I had the daily special which was some spicy grilled chicken. It was delicious with pepperoni slices and cheese. My wife had the 22 which is Richard Simmons. How is it? She says it’s very good. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. We may be back but we are leaving the area soon.

Wow! Firstly, I’m shocked it took me this long to write the folks at The Paper Bag a review because i used to frequent this place when it was on tower road/archer and every time i left i felt like i just bit into a little piece of heaven, so sorry for the late review, but here it
If you’re a local or passing through, this place is worth all the hype everyone is talking about, the service is great, the food is even better and the prices are very fair!
I seem to revert back to the Cuban quite a bit, but it’s because it’s the best out there.. there’s no other spot that does it better than this one (pictured).
Come enjoy a beer in their patio or a quick lunch, either way, you’ll be more than satisfied!

I’ve been hearing good things about this deli and was up in Gainesville for the day and just had to stop. I had the Cubano and my boyfriend got the chefs special for the day. The Cuban was fantastic, the pork was juicy, the pickles were good, hot and fresh pressed. The chicken in the chefs special melted in your mouth and the chipotle mayo was fantastic. I will definitely be coming back, I only wish they were open a little later in the day.

First off, the food we had was great and there was plenty of it for the price. But. Don’t think their desserts are made there, or that they’re even fresh – my scone (3 flavors on menu, only one available) was compressed into a blob wrapped in Saran Wrap. I didn’t eat it. There were lots of employees (who seemed kinda meh), but I thought we waited longer than usual with only a few customers ahead of us. The right outside porch is adjacent to the woods and was a lovely place to sit and chat with my friend. It’s not very busy so nice and quiet.

Looking forward to going again.
Right off Tower Road, near the Home Depot.

The Paper Bag Sub in Gainesville has a fun, laid-back atmosphere that feels perfectly tailored for college students. From the quirky decor to the lively energy, it’s a spot that doesn’t take itself too seriously—except when it comes to the food.
Don’t let the casual vibe fool you; the subs here are legit. We tried the Brooklyn Bombers and the TMNT, both packed with flavor and well-balanced toppings. The bread was fresh, the ingredients high quality, and the portions generous. However, we weren’t as impressed with The Soprano—it just didn’t hit the same way as the others.
The staff was super friendly, making the whole experience even better. Whether you’re a student looking for a quick bite or just passing through, this place is worth a stop.

Outstanding! The menu read wonderfully and the food is even better. Gluten free bread options are offered and they are FABULOUS. We ordered the #8(gf) and the #9. Beautifully prepared and on point the description. Taste blended perfectly and was super filling. Music in the establishment is awesome too!
