“I am thoroughly impressed and grateful for the staff at this location.We were out of town and returned on Christmas and needed a ham for our Christmas dinner.I got to the store three (3) minutes before they closed, and they STILL served me with patience. They were scheduled to close at 4:30 p.m. and I got there at 4:27 p.m.I really thought I was up the creek and would not our dinner meat. Needless to say the thought caused me to be in a slight panic. ALL of the employees were calm and patient in processing my purchase.I'll always remember this experience with gratitude.“

“Me and my family had the best food here and the service was so nice ! The menu covers breakfast through dessert, we got breakfast and then came back for lunch. The croissant sandwich is literally larger than my hand and phenomenal. Not only that but the burger was also amazing, and especially the zucchini fries. This is worth a visit or two if in the area!“

“Definitely the best deli sandwich I have had in San Diego. They have several sandwiches on their menu and they were able to help me pick based on what I like. The sandwiches are hefty and they use quality ingredients! I will definitely be back especially because they can make any sandwich into a salad as well. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾“

“I pass by Big Front Door often heading to work. Decided to stop in and give it a try this afternoon. I got their Cobbler salad and my friend got the chicken parmesan sandwich. The portion sizes are very generous, I asked for extra dressing with my salad and didn't really need it as there was a decent amount left. The food tasted great and was served up without much of a wait time. The star of the show was the gentleman that helped us though! I wish I had taken the time to get his name to give him proper credit. He greeted us, made small talk while my friend and I decided what to have and as we were leaving he offered to clear our table for us. Very polite and friendly! I will definitely be adding this to my list of regular places to go.“

“Love this place! They are friendly, the bread is amazing, they make a good sub for a reasonable price. I started going when we moved here and it’s quickly become my fave lunch.“

“Bomb place to eat very good sandwiches. Try it out you'll like it�“

“I live right next to this market and I feel like the luckiest person to have this amazing place so close, they have awesome hot food, super tasty salads and meals to go and snacks and drinks and tons of household items that save me a drive somewhere else.“

“My first time here and I will now go more often. I got the Godfather sandwich and it is filled with lots of meat and so flavorful. I also got a regular cannoli which actually tastes like a good Italian cannoli that.I was hoping for not just something stuffed with frosting. Everything was so delicious and the staff was very friendly, and the atmosphere is of a just down home cute, comfortable place. I will definitely be going back“

“Veggie Sandwich just the way I like ot. Same goes with the mocha. I like that the deli has a little view. You can sit inside or outside. It's pleasant. The atmosphere is calm, but they could use some charming decor. Maybe Christmas time they will.It's walking distance to St. John Bosco Mission... they have Adoration Mon-Sat at 11am to Noon, and Confession at 3pm with Mass at 4pm on Sundays. So I always see this deli and am glad I finally got to try it. I know I'll be back and tell others about it.“

“Just discovered this place while attending a conference. Nice deli with decent sandwich selection for $12 each. I ordred the hot pastrami with kraut thousand island toasted. The owner greeted me and is friendly. They have TV inside toWatch while you eat hours are 8 to 5pm

Parking: 2min from 15 Aero drive exit freeway

Wheelchair accessibility: Lots of room“

“Loved the tofu bowl special here with house made vegan aioli! Tofu cooked fresh and tasted amazing. I asked the owner what oil she uses and she said avocado oil. Her and her son run kitchen, nice to support family owned businesses, especially one with truly has clean food! Plus a huge smoothie menu that looks amazing. I would definitely come back if I lived nearby.“

“The food was great, service friendly and efficient! A fun place to go!“

“The only family owned and operated Deli Restaurant and Coffee Spot in the heart of Downtown San Diego. If you're new in town, you won't find it just strolling through downtown San Diego, but ask anyone who works within a mile of 4th and B, they can point you to The Plaza Deli and 401 Brew Street. I've been eating here for 26 years. Beautiful family, amazing and friendly staff. Good portions. Sandwiches large enough for two meals, and more salad choices (and salad dressings) than you will find anywhere. My breakfast fave, the croissant with sausage, egg and cheddar - toasted :)“

“My best friend has lived near this spot for years, and we’ve always ordered the same sandwich: the Park Boulevard. It’s an incredibly delicious choice, but during our most recent visit, we decided to switch things up. He opted for the Sherry's Special, which looked fantastic—and he confirmed it tasted just as good as it appeared. As a transplant from the East Coast now living in San Diego, I couldn’t resist trying the Torpedo. Let me just say, the Park Boulevard may need to wait because I’ll be sticking with the Torpedo for a while. This sandwich was everything I’ve been missing from the classic, ingredient-packed sandwich shops I often reminisce about from back home.

Beyond the incredible food, the staff here truly elevate the experience. Every visit begins with a warm, friendly greeting, and the service is consistently excellent. Whether you’re a regular or trying the place for the first time, you’re treated like family. This spot has mastered not only the art of crafting delicious sandwiches but also making every customer feel valued.“

“Awesome sandwiches!!! Must have if in the area“

“Everything on the menu , It’s all good !“

“I was coming here a few years back then stopped for a while due to a work relocation. Now I have a new job and the office is around the corner! So happy that this place is still here, the service is how I remembered it and the sandwiches and bagels are really good too.“

“Good little deli spot off the main road in Clairemont Mesa Blvd. Ingredients were fresh, good selection of bread choices, a huge selection of deli meat combination for sandwiches and a good balance of mayo, mustard, meats, tomatoes and lettuce.
Prices are also very affordable. Most of sandwiches were $8.50 and some were a bit more but not by much.
All its missing to complete the meal was a pickle but sadly it's not included with the sandwich.
It's available for purchase though, so maybe I'll do that next time ?“

“Aside from the fact this place is literally down the hill from me.. the owner & his beautiful family are Gucci ASF. Always smiling no matter what.. I've seen him take over this place, update & upgrade expanding not only his professionalism but the overall popularity in owning/running a well established business. I highly recommend stopping by for one of his infamous handcrafted deli sandwiches. Yooo, you don't even knoow!! 🤤 As for the liquor aspect of it, your boy's got a top notch selection of shelf spirits varying from Bourbon, Rye, Tequila, Gin, Vodka, Scotch whisky, Amaro & even Bitters! Oh Mylanta Georgia I almost forgot.. 🤗 this family owned business even has the types of snacks & munchies we all crave; don't let me get started on the Mexican candies yo 😆 I'm telling y'all if you still think it's too good to be true, just see for yourself!! Well worth the spending xoxo“

“This is the only place I get lunch from! I started going because it’s so close to my work but I only go here now because the food is always delicious and seriously SO fresh. The owner and his family are really the nicest people ever. The food is such a great price and the portions are so big that even the half size fills me up! This place will forever get my business! I have photos of the Italian but forgot to take a picture of my delicious Cobb Salad. I recommend this place to all my coworkers!“

“The best quality , service and prices around! Don’t go anywhere else“

“Great place food delivery’s to a great selection of drinks“

“We used to live here in Santee 3 yrs ago. We moved to Chula Vista but we still come down every Sunday and order pizza. It the best pizza in San Diego. All the employees are very good people along with Sam. Thank you so much for being here every Sunday.“

“(Translated by Google) The best bread I've ever tasted. The teleras, do not say. The owner and the lady, the best in their attention.(Original)Pan del mejor que eh probado. Las teleras, no se diga. El dueño y la señora, de lo mejor en su atención.“

“One of the hidden gems in this area. Whenever I'm in the area I always make sure to come by and pick up a sandwich or two.
The lady working there is always so nice and smiley, it certainly made today's rainy weather feel less gloomy.

The prices are very generous and the ingredients are very fresh.
-The mayonnaise, mustard, banana peppers, red onions, lettuce, tomato, and giant slither of pickle ("pickled" cucumber?) was very well-balanced, nothing overwhelmed one-another.

-I ordered The Valley Melt -corned beef, turkey (on sourdough I think)
The other was The Pastrami melt
And 2 slices of Bacon on the side (which was devoured as soon as I got in the truck)

Support small businesses and give Yummy Deli a try!

:]“

“Fast, easy, tuna and poke bowls are amazing.....and Jackie is awesome!!!“

“A hidden gem in the East Village. Small store with AMAZING cheeseburgers! Far cheaper than fast food and WAY better tasting. ??

Sam, the owner, is salt of the earth! Super kind and accommodating. Get a burger today! I promise you won’t regret it.“

“I’m from another state, but we have an office nearby. I was looking for someplace that a group could quickly go for lunch so we could get back to our meetings. This was a short walk, service was quick, and the food was fresh and quite tasty!!!“

“The sandwiches are delicious and hearty!! At a great price too.“

“estavan muy buenas las tortas ase unos meses atras lamentable mente no se que tengan si sea sason nuevo pero tenian un rico sabor, lo demas sige rico con mucho sabor mi sugerencia es que surtan mas lomo para las tortas es mi opinion“

“So, I recently tried this restaurant on a whim when ordering through Postmates. WOW, I was impressed. I got the sandwich with the roast beef and the coleslaw, and it was absolutely delicious! Furthermore, the prices are outstanding, especially considering the high quality of the food. Check it out if you are in the area--I am sure that you will not be disappointed.“

“Fresas con crema🍓 y smoothie 🍓“

“Objectively, I believe this is around 3-4 stars but personally a 5 for me. Entering inside, it has a plain yet homey atmosphere- a personal like for me. Nothing like the interior of a high end restaurant or the modernness of say, Subway. You could say the food is like that too: Something your family would likely cook for you. In this case, it was the lovely grannies who made this Philly cheese steak sandwich for me. Nothing terrible but neither out-of-this world amazing. Very much- homemade. A very unexpected find in a business district of places.“

“Nice nearby deli sandwich spot. This place was highly recommended by our friend Shirley.

My husband and I dined in and enjoyed turkey club sandwiches and Oreo cheesecake. Super fast service and they're friendly.

Nothing like the first bite of a fresh crunchy deli sandwich. We ate half since they're huge and delicious and finished the other half for dinner. They're delicious I told my husband we're going back next weekend!

Great sandwiches! You won't be disappointed!“

“don't disappoint at all..“

“Great sandwich shop! Best in San Diego!“

“I just ordered something on a third-party app and got A LOT of food for a very good price. You can tell a lot of care went into the bag the owner packed for me. He was very nice and the soup I got was delicious! I took a peek at the menu while picking up my food and you cannot beat his prices. I will definitely be returning here to try more of this tasty food 😁😀“
