Alvin Ord’s Sandwich Shop No 2

This has always been one of my favorite Beaufort sandwich shops… I especially love the «required» tip on all credit card transactions followed up with the impression that I’m somehow inconveniencing you to hand me my food.
Pretty good sandwiches with the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced.

The sandwiches are basically Schlotskys. They are delicious but $ 11 for a sandwich and drink? I see this place is always packed and I’ve eaten here a couple of times but once they counter help was not welcoming or pleasant and the second I called the sandwich ahead of time and came 15 mins later and it still took an additional ten mins for it to be done.

This place is a must for me when I come back to visit family. This was THE place to go when growing up because their cherry sodas were so special to kids — they add a ton of grenadine for you.
To me, the most important part of a sandwich is the bread, and they’ve gotten their homemade bread down to an art. Don’t wait too long after the lunch rush for a sandwich because they might run out since it’s made fresh every day!
I wish they weren’t using styrofoam cups though… So bad for the environment! Please transition to paper! Down one star for that, and the loooong waits to order/​get your sandwich.

I beg to differ, I can’t believe the raves about this place given my experience today. The employees were polite, but they looked as if they would rather be anywhere else on earth than working there. The sandwich was cheap, but full of very ordinary ingredients, and put on a weird round white roll they called «French». The iced tea and chips were excellent, but I’ve had better sandwiches at chains like Jersey Mike’s, and that ain’t saying much. Much much better sandwiches in New Orleans, New York, Philly, pretty much everywhere. Avoid.

This sandwich shop is amazing! Been coming here since the 90’s. grew up in Hilton Head Island & we’d drive all the way here for this yummy food! Price has gotten a little higher over the years– but it’s worth it. ask anybody! =)

I went to Alvis’ s on September 30^th 2015, and I ordered the sliced turkey, I found the turkey a little bit dry, the bread was good, the kitchen help do not seem to happy, they don’t smile, this guy at the next table started talking to me, he was around 60 years old, chubby, glasses, white, white hair mixed with black, he says, another day in paradise, I say, not for me, but I’m not from here, he says, where you from? I said, San Diego, California, he said, I went there, the weather is nice, but everything else, is yuck, I said, whatever, he is old, just leave him, maybe, he is stressed out, turns out he’s the owner, then I thought, hmm, if this is what he is saying, then what’s really in his heart, I pray it’s not hate.

Great and fresh sandwiches. The bread is fantastic!!! I had the small and my bf had the medium size and they were both just right for us! YUM YUM YUM!

Yeah!!! Just moved into town and found my favorite sandwich shop. Homemade bread was delicious. I had the turkey club and wife had a salvation. You really don’t need anything bigger then a small, unless you want leftovers. The whole staff were very nice and service was quick! Must eat here if you never have!

Alvin Ord’s is really good! The bread is made in house and reminds me of Schlotskys if you have ever been. The bread holds up to the weight of all the quality meat and cheese that is put on the sandwich. We ordered the special and the pastrami. Both were excellent. Definitely a great choice for a very tasty deli style sandwich. I would reccomend take out because there is not much seating. It does not look like like much from the outside but don’t let that fool you. Alvin Ord’s is worth the trip.

I remembered this place from 20 years ago and how good it was. It was enough to make me look for it (found it on Unilocal) by doing a search for «sandwich shop» and hunt it down when we were passing through town as tourists. My memory was correct; it was delicious. My bf is a non-​meat eater so his only option was a cheese sandwich but other than that it’s a great place for everyone and he LOVED his sandwich. The line was really long (you can call your order in and that seems to be a good option) but the staff was efficient and the sandwiches soon came out. We ate inside as it was too hot outside but others ate on the covered deck with the ceiling fans. Now that I live somewhat in the area we will be back! It’s for sure worth trying; you’ll probably like it.

Turkey ranch club on French was sooo good! Great little sandwich place in Beaufort! Worth the wait!

My husband and I are renting in Port a Royal while our home is being built. Every time we drove by there was a line and a lot of cars. Today we finally stopped to see what all the fuss was about. I now understand! The French bread is I feel what makes this sandwich. Wow. We both had the roast beef and it was lean and tasty. It definitely will be one of our favorite places to stop on the way to the beach for the day.

Okay, I was stationed in Beaufort for 3 years, and never came across this location. I came back up for a site visit, to meet and greet with my crew that are working on the Marine Corps Air Station, and we wandered out to this small hole in the wall. I’m told the turkey is the best seller, however always go with the signature sandwich. My next trip back to Buford, I’m coming back here again

You can never go wrong with Alvin Ords! I love any and all of their sandwiches! But my 2 favorites are the Salvation! And Turkey Club! And can’t forget Pink Lemonade! A lil pricey but WORTH EVERY PENNY!!!

I challenge anyone to find a better sandwich than Alvin Ords. I was born and raised here, and even after moving away — I have yet to find a better sandwich. If you’re a vegetarian like me, get the cheese salvation with jalapenos, you won’t be sorry.

This is the best sandwich place in the world. I moved away because my husband got orders and I can’t find a place like this.

I absolutely loved the atmosphere there and the overall welcoming feeling the employees conveyed to each customer I felt like a regular there because they treated me as such. Now about these sandwiches. O.M.Gosh they were good! I got a medium and only ate half so unless you’re sharing a small will suffice. I got the salvation and my husband enjoyed the Beaufort philly. Definitely will be returning

Alvin Ord’s is a Beaufort staple. It’s been around for longer than I can remember and a must have single time I’m in town.
Where do I even start. The bread is a small, medium, or HUGE (feeds at LEAST two!) round loaf that is crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. The sandwiches are piled high with fresh ingredients and sent through the oven so the cheese is melty and the bread gets a good crisp.
My go to is the Turkey Club with jalapeño bacon. The jalapeño bacon is not to spicy, even for those with a mild tongue, but gives just that perfect flavor to accompany this delicious sandwich. Some other good ones are The Salvation or Roast Beef.
You can’t get Alvin Ord’s without a Cherry Coke. The cherry is added by the sweet ladies behind the counter. Get a little syrup or a lot!
Alvin Or’ds is always busy. My suggestions is to call it in ahead of time and eat on the front porch.

My husband and I went here for lunch today :) I had the turkey sandwich on french. It was delicious! Hands down the best sandwich you’ll find in beaufort/​port royal. The bread was soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside (toasted) it had the perfect amount of turkey and condiments! And it’s REAL turkey! Not that nasty stuff you get at subway. I would definitely recommend this little sandwich shop and will be back soon!

Another great experience at a local Beaufort hot-​spot! This is by far my favorite place to eat when we come to town. The turkey club is fabulous, and the small is a perfect size for a filling lunch. Would highly recommend for a lunch date– just call your order in if you don’t have time to wait. This place is always swamped with people trying to get some good food.
