    Awesome menu, lots of variety to chose from! Always fresh ingredients, meat, tuna, and a variety of delicious & fresh breads/rolls. Best deli in East County!

    Stop crying about wait times. It's common knowledge. And with the 50 people in front of you not crying, it's obviously going to take a bit of time. DELICIOUS food, and large portions!

    I went there at 2:30PM, and I waited for just 10 min to be served. They serve a large portion, so if you don't want it you better order a half sandwich. They know how to make good sandwiches!

    Anything from this place is excellent. I love the vegetarian sandwich! The fresh avocado and the alfalfa makes this a mouth watering sandwich!

    CALL AGEAD OF TIME or you will wait forever. Also, ask for the 1/2 BLT, easier to eat made with only 2 slices of bread instead of 3, and ask for it on grilled sourdough :)

    try to get there right before the lunch rush or right after or expect to wait upwards of 25 minutes for your sandwhich; but it is oh so worth it!

    Definitely NOT just 10-15 min wait. Try more like 45min for a single sandwich.
