Phil's Snack Shack & Deli

Food was ok. It was fast which was what we needed. The website listed is for the place in Castroville. I posted pics of the actual menu.

Never again. Nearly $24 including %15 tip, for what would appear to be a pre packaged hamburger patty, on a grocery store Ciabata bun. Ordered with no onion, due to allergy, but received onion.
The French fries were not edible, as they were so saturated in grease that had cooled, that you couldn't even taste potato.
As if that wasn't bad enough,..then there is a guy, that is clearly hung over, vomiting in the outdoor dinning area.

If it wasn't for the view, then I'd give it zero stars. 7/11 has better food.

This is one of the best restaurants in the 831. Wayyyy Better than any five star Michelin restaurant in Carmel. The special chicken sandwich is life-changing.

Swung by here to break up a 4 hour drive between SLO and SF, this was a perfect halfway spot to stop and get a bite to eat and enjoy the scenery and park across the street. Friendly staff greeted us when we walked in. The menu has plenty of options, so we ordered a few items. We ordered a calamari sandwich, jalapeno burger, fries, and fried zucchini. The outdoor seating area next to the lagoon is great, really pretty and calming to relax at after being on the road for 2 hours. Dog friendly too, so that was a big plus.
The food came out pretty quickly. Good size on all of the food, more than enough to eat for the two of us and our toddler. My calamari sandwich was delicious, perfectly fried and not greasy. The sourdough bread was a really nice choice to balance out all of calamari, tartar sauce and veggies. My wife's burger was loaded up with all of the fixing and it was a nice and juicy patty. It was quite good with the heat from the jalapenos. Crinkle cut fries were a fun surprise, cooked perfectly and not greasy. The fried zucchini were awesome, larger than anticipated and really juicy. Overall a great pitstop on a long drive, though I would certainly go out of my way a bit to eat here again!

Coming back after 2 years to review them on Google as me and my kids can’t forget the taste of their awesome calamari sandwich and grilled cheese sandwich. Hands down the best we have tasted so far. This place was recommended by my physiotherapist who happens to visit them a week before we did.
Do try their menu if you are in monetary,moss landing area.

My husband & I stopped by here for lunch... after reading the reviews, we thought we'd give it a chance and so happy we did!! My husband ordered a double cheeseburger and I ordered the calamari sandwich with a cup of clam chowder and it was soooo GOOD!! My soup had big chunks of clam, steamy hot and very tasty. My sandwich was perfectly topped with pickles, onions, tomatos and a yummy sauce... the calamari steak was cooked just right. His cheeseburger was good and also cooked perfectly. We were both in foody heaven... mmmmm. Portions are pretty big and it's very affordable! There was no wait and we recieved our order in about 10-15 minutes. The lady who took our order was very friendly & nice. We sat outside at the picnic tables in the back and enjoyed the beautiful view of the water, wild flowers, birds & surrounding area. This is now a new favorite for us and anytime we are in the area we plan to come again. What a gem! Truly was a great lunch/dining experience!

Nothing fancy but the best Calamari sandwich. Outdoor seating. Small indoor seating area. Small unpaved parking lot.

So good

Ordered a half albacore tuna sandwich. Unfortunately, the worst tuna sandwich I've ever had in my life. Basically I tasted the condiments and not the tuna at all. I took three bites and couldn't eat the rest. Canned Chicken of the Sea tuna was gourmet compared to this. I was shocked. I was taken aback because I love their snapper and calamari sandwiches! Never would have thought the quality would have been like this for the albacore tuna.

This place has a monster Baja Burger. Absolutely awesome

Big fan of Phil's Snack Shack (or typically I just call it "Little Phil's"). Best prices and good food from a local lunch favorite. However since the fish market moved the Castroville some of the Snack Recipes have been switched up. I'm definitely a regular and always order the egg salad, and lately it's gone from a really good classic/simple egg salad to having a lot of extra stuff in it (red onions, celery, carrots, pieces of lettuce ??? etc...). I love veggies, but not in my egg salad. I don't order the works specifically for this. If the price of eggs is an issue I'll say something maybe a little controversial but I would rather pay an extra dollar for the old egg salad recipe they were using a 1.5 years ago than pay the same price for the current. I will openly admit this is a very "I'm a regular blah blah blah" kind of thing to ask, but could be we get the old egg salad recipe back on the menu <3?
