Welcome to Mean Sandwich
We're a small sandwich shop on Leary Way in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood, and we take our sandwiches seriously. Every sandwich is built with real thought behind the flavors — thick-cut meats, housemade sauces, and bread that people can't stop talking about.
Our menu features standouts like The Mean (juicy corned beef with housemade mustard, pickled red cabbage, and mint), the Hama Hama Oyster Po'Boy (deep-fried local oysters with housemade remoulade), and our famous Skins & Ins — a mix of fried potato skins and potato chunks that's a whole different experience from your usual side of fries.
We also pour beer and wine on tap, so you can settle in at our outdoor hangout area, play some games, and enjoy a cold one with your meal. Whether you're a Ballard local or visiting from out of town, we're glad you're here.
