Just one day after a Hialeah barbecue spot was named one of the best new barbecue restaurants in the country, another homegrown Hialeah restaurant is making a name for itself in a delicious way.

Yelp has just released its list of the Best Sandwiches in Every State, and out of the plethora of great sandwich shops in Florida, such as Jholano's Deli, one in Miami stood out the most, thanks to its stellar, nearly five-star reviews: Franky's Deli Warehouse.

Founded in 1999, the popular deli from husband-and-wife owners Franky and Nanette Diaz has made multiple appearances on Yelp's lists of top places to eat, and thanks to its five-star ranking, it is now the highest-rated sandwich deli on Yelp in the Sunshine State. The mom-and-pop spot has over 680 4.9-star reviews — nearly five stars, which is an impressive feat for any restaurant.

The deli took to its Instagram to share the exciting news with its longtime customers.
Yelp's Luis Rendon writes, "Their 'Famous Italian' is a meaty masterpiece featuring ham, capicola, salami, and provolone. Order it half-size so you can mix and match another half from equally tasty options."

While the Italian sandwich here is a classic, customers can't go wrong with any sandwich creation made at this special deli.

"The sandwiches at Franky's are nothing short of exceptional," reads a comment on Yelp. "Whether you opt for a classic Italian sub bursting with flavors or a creative vegetarian option, each bite is a testament to their commitment to quality ingredients and skilled craftsmanship."

Franky opened the shop exactly 24 years ago after gaining experience from working for Subway Corp., where he trained franchise owners. Nanette also gained invaluable customer service experience after working for UPS for more than a decade. Once they combined their strengths to start a business, Franky's was born — and it's been a hit ever since.

The married couple credits their passion for the deli, as well as their commitment to having incredible customer service, a clean environment, and a friendly atmosphere for their success.
