My favorite sandwich place in Berkeley. So consistent and lowk anything you order on the menu would be good. I really like the chicken pesto panini for something warm or a make-your-own turkey sandwich on Dutch crunch! Service is always great and this is the place to go if you're craving a solid sandwich for lunch

Affordable and delicious! If theres anything I can recommend it’s the chicken pesto sandwich on Dutch crunch. Their sandwiches are big, so unhinge your jaw maybe before you go in for a bite.Staff and service is friendly, nothing out of the ordinary. Counter service, know what you want before you step up.

Wanted to see what the cheese n stuff hype was about, so I decided to check this place out for lunch. Ordered the chicken pesto sandwich and thought it was solid. However for 10 dollars I thought the portions were pretty small. The sandwich was pretty thin and there was not much filling. Pesto and Dutch crunch bread was good, but the chicken was bland and lacked seasoning. Probably won't come back, but I'd suggest not ordering through Snackpass since it seems they don't keep an eye out on orders through there.

Best and most affordable deli sandwich in the area!$8 for a filling sandwich! One of my go-to’s for lunch.I’ve tried many of the deli sandwich places around southside and this place not only tastes the best but it’s also by far the cheapest.I love the pepper turkey and Dutch Crunch roll!

Couldn’t eat the sandwich. Got an Italian combo. Meats were old, discolored, and tasted off. Staff were nice.

I'm sure every sandwich here is great but there is only one correct order - the Veggie sandwich on Dutch crunch. Bro, I don't even know where to begin. This sandwich is a cacophony of flavors so perfectly mixed it'll open your third eye. The freshness of the cucumber, the tartness of the pickles, the saltiness of the feta, the creaminess of the avocado. And the Dutch crunch. I don't even know what to say. And for less than $10?! I would prostitute myself for this sandwich. My only issue is their hours. I gotta find weird excuses to get myself to Berkeley on a weekday during work hours - but I will do it. Whoever gave this place anything less than five stars has lost all of their credibility as a food reviewer.

There's an overwhelming variety of lunch options on Southside. But Cheese 'N' Stuff should be your first option. No frills, but lots of options. Don't be intimidated if the line is out the door, it moves quickly. Service is fast and friendly.

Great sandwiches at an affordable price. Run by a very dedicated and caring owner and staffed with skilled workers. Cheese and Stuff has been nothing less than a saving grace during my time at Cal.

Delicious deli sandwiches. The Dutch crunch rolls are crunchy perfection. Veggie sandwich was perfectly made and super tasty. Portions are large -- you definitely get your money's worth!
Two stars because the employees are nice, and meat aside the sandwiches are well-made. Otherwise the obvious rankness of the meats would bring it to one. They should make the case less transparent to hide the discoloration. I have gotten sick, probably from here, several times. Even if not, the meats smell and taste off, especially at the end of the week.

Definitely a hidden (but not really) good deli spot near UC's campus. I got a dutch crunch sandwich, which was great. The two co-workers I was with got the falafel wrap, which looked epic. I'll bet getting that the next time I'm in Berkeley.Owner was there and the place feels like an institution (which I guess it is).

Great spot for a cheap, convenient meal! They have a wide variety of bread and meats for you to construct your sandwich.The food isn't too special imo--just a pretty basic sandwich, but they are solid sandwiches and although you won't get a sandwich this cheap elsewhere, they don't skimp on the size. I do wish they were open a bit later for if I want a quick dinner.

The sandwich is OK, got pastrami and thought it was lacking in flavor, had little meat and overall lackluster. You have to ask them to warm up your sandwich even if they are a “hot sandwich”.
