Pricey, but food is good. Portion size is small making this place a bad value overall.

This place is close to my work, so super convenient. As I'm sitting here eating my $14.00 small salad because I chose to add chicken and customize it to have a little more dressing then they usually give you. I'm thinking, there really isn't a lot of chicken in here and the "delicious fresh baked bread" they serve with the salad is as hard as it was prepared on Friday. My co-worker consistently gets sick when eating there but it's convenient... sigh. With 2020 coming I think I'm taking a not so "Specialty" hiatus and saving my hard earned money. ***Reminiscing about my last job where the little salad, sandwich and soup spot was eat there everyday delicious and costs so much less*** Bye bye Specialty!!!

This place isn't that Special. I've only been here a half dozen times, but each time isn't better than the prior. I always utilize the digital ordering system. When I go to pick up my order at least one item I order isn't available. Well this time when I was asked how would I like to customize the order I stated that I was not proficient with the menu and just asked for a basic breakfast sandwich with egg, cheese and a meat. When the order was ready there wasn't any meat. And when I asked the "customer" service agent to have it fixed the agent then gave a lecture blaming me. Whoa! I'm done here. Well, until it goes fully autonomous. PS. The food is only ok. Hence not that Special.

I attend a lot of event planning meetings with community groups. Specialty's is the best place for us to meet. They have large tables, easy parking, and a menu that has something for everyone at any time of the day. Service is usually slow and order pick-up is not well communicated, so that's why only 4 stars.

Food was good! Staff were friendly. I wish someone told me coffee was ready way before the breakfast.

Had these wonderful people cater our daughters 1st birthday and it was a major hit! All of the food was fresh and well prepared. Good variety of salsas, the corn was delicious and the overall presentation and easy access was perfect. The cooks were professional and super nice....so we will be hiring them again for our next taco fiesta!

Don't remember ever being here but if I was it must have been good or I would remember.

They have good sandwiches, soups, and cookies. Definitely can't go wrong with this. The salads aren't that great. This place is busy at lunch time 12pm.

Who doesn't love a fresh sandwich? Freshly baked bread, crisp veggies and tasty sliced meats, bacon and cheese? Early on in my career I worked for months at a time in San Francisco. My first Specialty's experience was at the location just around the corner from my office on Montgomery. I loved it so much, I'd often have it for lunch and dinner. Fond memories of super delicious and fresh food. For years I've missed that little shop. Fast forward a decade or so and Specialty's has opened over 50 locations. Success story? You bet! And yes, there have been some menu changes but for the most part Specialty's is still serving delicious, fresh baked bread and all sorts of tasty treats to fill your belly. This location is more than a short walk from me, so I don't get here as often as I'd like, but when I do, I enjoy every delectable bite. Come early for the best selection of cookies and treats or enjoy a day old option for half price. Just as tasty, but lighter on your wallet. Loads of parking and a dining room with lots of tables and outlets for charging. You can relax at a handful of comfy seating too...comfy chairs to sink into or an Adirondack on the grass just a few steps from the front door. Patio seating too but keep in mind the businesses around this area mean this place gets very busy. Take advantage of the order pads or order ahead and pickup right away and go. Easy peasy. My favs are the Chairman and the Cobb sandwiches. Every sandwich is tasty because the ingredients and super fresh and served on fresh baked bread, you really can't go wrong. Worth the drive and the $ and now that I've introduced it to my best friend, we're sure to visit more often.
