Dino's is awesome. What other Shore sandwicheries should we try?

Friend of Meal Ticket MS recently brought us an awesome (and extremely large) Italian hoagie (or should we say sub?) from the venerable Dino's Subs & Pizza in Margate City. This thing was a beast the length of two Primo's and the hefty, ultra-crusty bread (locals sometimes call it an "Atlantic City roll") did a wondrous job housing the abundance of meat, cheese, lettuce, tomato and raw onion; a dusting of oregano and a side of hot pepper hash brought it all home. It was delicious, and it got us thinking: We admittedly don't have much experience with Jersey Shore eats, so what other down-the-shore sandwiches are must-tries? We've always noticed people talking about White House and Sacco's Sack O' Subs in hushed tones ... which other shops deserve a sandwich lover's nod?

What? No mention of the tuna?

White House isn't as good as people say it is.  Sack of Subs in delicious! You should also try the Presto sandwich at Salvo in Longport

I was always a fan of White House tuna... not sure how it compares to Dino's, but it has the same "Already Eaten Before You Even Realize It" effect.

McGowan's in Sea Isle City. Long waits but you can snack on chips in the meantime or call ahead. Breakfast and lunch/dinner menus. It's got that grease-truck gusto without the health code violations.

I second McGowan's.  Also, Russo's Market in North Wildwood never disappoints.  You'd also benefit from calling ahead here.

Get a cheesesteak from Voltaco's in Ocean City. I've heard many say it's better than any you can find in Philly, and I might have to agree.

Definitely check out McGowan's in Sea Isle and Ocean Deli in Avalon- get the Chicken Cheesesteak- I know what you're thinking, but trust me.

barrel's of margate (the take-out side) has great sandwiches. i always go for the chicken cutlet with varying toppings. a great deal, as well, because you get about the same amount of chicken as the entree version.

Phat Steaks in Northfield. Really great cheesesteaks and sandwiches. The barnyard is the best. Steak, chicken and bacon with pepperjack cheese and some sauce ( maybe ranch ) on an ac roll. Bangin

Voltaco's Italian Foods in Ocean City, NJ makes some seriously epic hoagies and cheesesteaks -- all on Atlantic City Bakery bread.
