The club sandwich is comprised of three slices of toasted bread, turkey, bacon, lettuce, mayonnaise, and sliced tomatoes. The meat can also be chicken breast or roast beef. The bacon can be replaced with ham. Sometimes cheese and mustard are added as well.

Some places will also include a special sauce that they only put in their club sandwiches. This is to make them more unique and hopefully attract more people to the establishment.

In the southwestern United States, it is not surprising to find that the club sandwich has been added with chili or peppers to give it a bit of an attitude that is indigenous with the area.

In the western states it is also common to have avocadoes sliced and placed into the club, plus sometimes they will also add alfalfa sprouts to it as well.

Each area will have a unique means of making their club sandwiches and these changes make variations of the club more and more common.
