Phil's Snack Shack & Deli

Food is good but beware of ripoff. The prices on the wall are not the prices they charge. I ordered pancakes for $5.99 and they charged me $8.99. When I pointed this out the girl said prices had gone up. I asked when and she said yesterday. Bullshit. The prices were on a whiteboard and could have been updated in just a few minutes. They are clearly doing this on purpose. As I walked out I told her this was probably illegal, bait and switch, and she said “wow” as if I was the ridiculous one. I was planning on going back with three other people that evening for dinner but based on their attitude we went somewhere else. I suggest you do the same.

Close to the harbor. Run down shack. Food was fresh, and huge portions and perfect taste. We both had the fish sandwich. We got served immediately and it was hot and fresh and easy to eat.

Just for the atmosphere and the awesome setting of this place I'll deal with the crappy food in the poor service it's awesome here

Staying at the moss landing KOA and tried the Phils snack shack. I would not recommend it. My wife had oral surgery and just wanted some eggs and cheese. They said no problem. When I got it. No cheese and was way over cooked. I got a breakfast burrito, was huge. The bacon was not even cooked and the sausage was over cooked. When the wife called to ask why. The guy wouldn't say anything. He just stayed quiet. Wouldn't answer any questions. When he finally said something, he just said that's how we do it. It might be personal preference but I would not go there for anything. They are obviously living off of Phils fish markets name! Been staying at the moss landing KOA off and on for years. This is the worst food from anywhere around here we have had ever!

It sits outside the KOA, and we ordered breakfast burritos on our way out. Big portion, to much for me to eat, and good flavor.

Stopped here because we didn’t have time for the full Phil’s fish market experience. Expected good quick food but in a casual setting. Food was mediocre at best. Had barely edible snapper tacos, the fish pieces looked like scraps. The rest of my parties food was better but we ending up tossing half what was ordered.

I’m surprised the owners of Phil’s are associated with this spot. Bad food in a run down shack. Really curious is the other reviews are real… I will say the people working there were very nice.

Pretty good, but they get my order wrong sometimes

We have been here twice - both times for lunch. The sandwiches - especially the sand dab and calamari sandwiches - are outstanding. The restaurant itself is pretty basic - order at the counter and they bring you food in a bag out to you in the courtyards or to the tables inside. I cannot overstate how delicious the sandwiches - the toasted sourdough bread, sauce, pickle and very generous amount of seafood - makes them hugely satisfying and almost more than you can eat. Can't really speak for the other food, but it is probably great too. Ambience is very straightforward and no time or money is wasted on pretty-ing it up. But that adds to the charm Be advised - there are no bathroom facilities. (Although I was allowed to wash my hands in a sink near the door! I appreciated that.)

It was nice and relaxed

Small & classic deli menu, plus a hearty clam chowder & a few sweet treats, all for a very reasonable price. Seating inside & outside, beside the canal. In a tiny town of limited options, this is a very good one!

Lovely local spot. The burritos were the best! Generous portions.

First time here. Longtime fan of Phil's that relocated to Watsonville. We'll be back. 3 of us ordered the sand dab sandwich. Perfectly prepared. Light crispy coated fresh sand dab on toasted sourdough with shredded lettuce, tomato, thinly sliced red onion, pickles and mayo. Friendly staff and great prices. You won't be disappointed.

I was just there I had ordered a chicken sandwich with avocado, got charged extra for it and there was none in the sandwich. I also ordered one of their hot dog special, I clearly said no mustard, I am allergic to it I repeated myself two times and also said I only wanted specific things on it and when I pick it up it has mustard and not how I wanted it. I call back to tell them and the guy taking orders tells me there is nothing they can do and as he’s telling the cook I can hear the cook say “how was a supposed to know how they wanted it” and also refused to remake it because they were “busy”. When I asked the guy to look at the receipt he said he didn’t have it. I’ve been ordering the same thing for a while and never had an issue until now. Just paid for something that went to the garbage. Never going back to a place where they mess up your order that you paid for and still give you attitude.
