5 Chain Restaurants Fans Say Nail the Classic Club Sandwich
A classic club is a simple yet very satisfying sandwich: This staple lunch item is usually made with three slices of toasted white bread containing layers of turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Endlessly versatile, the club can be adapted to taste for those who prefer chicken or ham instead of turkey, or the addition of avocado, cheese, and more. It’s your club sandwich, go to town! When it comes to restaurant options, some chains make club sandwiches so delicious fans can’t get enough. Here are five spots where the house club is worth the trip alone.

The California Chicken Club Sandwich was so delicious and I need to know how to make the garlic aioli sauce or where to get theirs!” one said.
