We love picnic and try to go at least a couple times a month for a sandwich and supplies for dinner.
The sandwiches are usually geared towards red meat, but sometimes you can find a day with turkey or chicken.
The roasted chicken is superb and well flavored, and the accoutrements are good too.
Lots of premade charcuteries, a nice little wine selection, fresh bread, and more. Well worth a visit whether its for take out or a sandwich.
Vegetarian options: Not many veggie options, it's primarily a butchery.
Parking: There is usually parking on Solano if you continue west, past San Pablo
Kid-friendliness: It's a small boutique shop, but they have kid friendly food.

First time here. Ordered lunchbox, wagyu sandwich and chicken farro soup. The rotisserie chicken was moist. Sauces were not necessary and wasn't impressive. Wagyu sandwich was okay. Bread was great. Meat was chewy and lacked flavor. No trashcan or public bathroom. This was odd to me considering they provide indoor and outdoor dining. The trash is the city trashcan which seems wrong. Service was off at the beginning. Felt like questions and feedback weren't welcomed.Food was running out during this hour as the cashier was turning away customers due to sandwiches being out of stock.

Sandwiches and sides are always tasty and delicious! The corned beef sandwich was a flavor explosion. It knocked my socks off! The whole chicken and potatoes are a perfect dinner for my family. I am always happy after eating here.

Just got a Roast Beef Sandwich. Wow. Delicious with good bread and perfect ratios of meat to toppings. Very impressed, will definitely return. They said they do not have Porchetta since they lost their pork supplier.

Picnic is a treasure. They have so much yummy stuff. Their sandwiches are awesome. Their sausage selection is incredible and the ingredients are top end. This is no place for vegans or people on special diets. But it is heaven for the rest of us. Picnic is a destination market!
Parking: Lots of free parking on San Pab and in the lot next door.
Wheelchair accessibility: Sidewalk level entry from San Pablo and Solano Avenue.

Hands down the best rotisserie chicken I ever had! The potatoes are cooked with chicken schmaltz and very addicting. They have so many other amazing selections from handmade sausages to their daily sandwiches. I always highly recommend this place to all of my family and friends and now I’m telling you to go and try it out, you won’t be disappointed!

Great spot to pick up a to go lunch. Tried their daily sandwich and pasta salad. Would recommend!
I’ve never had such dry chicken in my life. Can appreciate being a small business, but we gotta do better Gilbert
Everything I've brought home from Picnic was made with obvious exquisite quality and care! Their condiments are a boon to our meals, great rotisserie chickens, sandwiches, sides, everything! I get excited when my travels take me nearby and I've got time to go in!
The chicken was amazing! We will definitely come back
Happened across Picnic when my bus skipped my stop and made me walk a bit! Decided to try the Italian sausage, and it was delicious. Definitely will try more of their offerings 😋 Love a local, woman-owned shop. Next door to the Ivy Room 💛
