“Coming here for 10+years . Really happy they survived Covid. Nice to see familiar faces. The son is consistently kind,patient hard working! Always keeping this running for/with Mom and Dad. They must be proud. Thank you for all the great meals made with care!:)“

“Great place for a fresh cheeseburger!“

“First time here today. I originally came in looking for a local coffee spot, and when I arrived around lunch, the place was packed—which is always a good sign. The menu had some interesting options, so I went with the soup of the day: chicken pozole. I’m glad I did, because it was really good. I also ordered a medium double latte, which hit the spot, and a ginormous cookie. Best of all, everything came out to under $15. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Sweet old school joint with sandwiches, chicken soup, specials and sweets.First time for me, got the Teriyaki chicken special with rice and salad for $9.Food is fresh and tasty, the lady at the counter is very nice, a patron highly recommended the brownies, I may get them next time!“

“The breakfast burrito is sooooo legit!!I read about it in the Chronicle and had to try it. It is tasty, not greasy, generous AND their little cups of red sauce bring it to perfection.A breakfast burrito and an Arizona iced tea by the water may bring you peace, and remind you why is it we live in the Bay Area ☺️

Vegetarian options: You can customize your order to have a vegan burrito ?“

“I ordered the Italian sandwich and a side. The bread was excellent and everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully put together. While it leaned a bit lighter on the traditional Italian punch (I missed that vinegary zing), it was still a very solid, high-quality sandwich. The real standout for me was the bean salad, bright, bold, and absolutely bursting with flavor. The space itself is airy and welcoming, clearly run by pros who know what they’re doing. Buzzing with lunchtime energy and full of happy sandwich-seekers, this spot feels like a true neighborhood lunch gem.“

“The staff here are so nice. They let me get a breakfast burrito right when they ended breakfast at 11. But also, it’s one of the best Philly cheesesteaks I’ve ever had - and I don’t even like Philly cheese. Their hamburgers are so solid too. My only critique is wishing they were open on the weekends but hey, everyone deserves a break I guess.“

“The person at the front was incredibly nice. I got to try their food through TooGoodToEat but I will definitely be back to try other things on their menu. The pesto pasta had great flavor and the grilled chicken was still juicy. The spring roll is a must try!“

“The most tender brisket I may have had anywhere. 🥰🥰“

“A true San Francisco treat. Wonderful staff and delicious sandwiches.“

“Chicken and Bacon ranch wrap.😍“

“We had Rompiballe Sandwich and The Milanese Sandwich. Our favorite one was The Milanese Sandwich even if both sandwiches were very tasty. It was very fresh and we liked the harmony of ingredients. Service was fast and we didn’t have a difficulty finding a table. I felt like I was in a nice sandwich shop in Firenze. Thank you!“

“Stopped by on a whim for a quick lunch to-go after a trip to Costco. Got an Italiano sandwich with garlic sauce. It was very fresh tasting and LOADED with meat! I could barely get my mouth around it. It was so big, I saved half for lunch tomorrow. Excellent tasting and a great bargain!“

“This is one of my favorite spots in the city!
Great paninis for lunch, amazing cheese , cold cuts and many more delicious products.
Everyone working here is really nice.
Definitely worth visiting whenever you’re in Potrero Hill.“

“10/10 highly recommend! Great service, very clean place, sandwich was packed and delicious. I had The Godfather and wow!! Definitely will be coming back again“

“Took it next door to the bird that mocks tequila. Got the muffaletta. Definitive spicy. I was warned, and the warning was justified.
But I like spicy.

All together delicious we'll definitely return multiple times.

In fact I already have.“

“North beach Italian sandwiches and Italian deli items.“

“The service was great! The coffee here is also good.“

“This is my 31st sandwich review (according to another app). Snack Sensei put Grand 7 on my radar (again), I’ve been hearing about it since I moved back from Hawaii in 2019. My apologies to the community because I truly did not understand how fire this place is.

It has officially taken my top sandwich spot. Sorry, Gherkin’s.

My partner’s job ordered catering, and lucky for me there was still an Italian on Dutch crunch at the end of the event. He snagged it for me. And let me just say: some might say a sandwich is a sandwich. Wrong.

The way the fresh ingredients and flavors marry together is just perfect. The bread to sandwich ratio is perfect and that catering order must have extra protein. The quality of the meat is far superior. And the mayo? Listen… if you know anything about Hawaii, you know we are serious about our mayonnaise.

The best part: I had half fresh on Wednesday and saved the other half for a field trip with my class on Friday and it was just as good. TWO days later.

Now I just need to find time to get there in person (limited hours!) because my friend swears they have the best chopped cheese he has ever had better than New York. If you’re looking for the best sandwich in the Bay Area, get here now.“

“I got the California as I usually do. It's so good hot and so juicy. Highly recommend coming here“

“Great employee owned business, has been supporting the community for 40 years“

“My old pal Limney Gilbert got kicked in the mouth by one of Bucktoothed Mary's horses a month ago, and he's had his mouth wired shut since then. This morning they cut the wires! He asked me to bring him a ham sandwich and chips from the Joaquin Deli because he's been drinking all his meals from a straw, and he's ready to chew! It's my first time at the Joaquin Deli and I'll tell you what...it's clean, the ingredients are fresh as can be and the prices are right where they should be! The workers put the customers first, and not because the boss told them too, they do it as if they owned the place! Very refreshing in today's world! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Always see this place when I'm driving by. Finally had my chance to try it and OMG I'm mad I did not stop in earlier. Got a meatball sub that was so freaking good. Also tried their cheesecake that was so good. Definitely going here again“

“A must go to while in San Francisco. Best sandwiches and liquor selection. ❤“

“A story of three friends including one focused on how Food ties into social interaction and cultural understanding Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen began in 2010, their expansion from The Mission flagship all the way down to Culver City thanks to “California-inspired Jewish deli food with roots in tradition and an eye on the future; for Jews who like food and food lovers who like Jews.” Founded by Evan Bloom, Ari Bloom and Leo Beckerman, each bringing unique skills to an operation focused on making nearly everything in-house, it was minutes after 9:00am on Christmas Day that the Deli on 24th Street was found quiet, the lack of queue seeing everything served within ten minutes at prices far below the Bay Area average. Using good ingredients, natural Beef Pastrami with complex spicing layered between real Jewish Rye just $15.50 with a Kosher Pickle, guests are also encouraged to order Matzo Ball Soup with a big Dumpling floating in Broth laced with Dill. No Babka on this morning, all of it committed to pre-orders, 72% Bittersweet Guittard Chocolate instead finds itself suspended in Cookies with flakes of Salt while Rugelach for $2 a bite is fairly basic considering the rest. Not forgetting a Bagel, well made with a good skin and plenty of chew, Cream Cheese comes complimentary just as good Butter, real Maple Syrup and Jam do with Challah French Toast cooked golden but still custardy in the middle.“

“Semi truckers!RDM is in 2nd building, the one in front of what map shows. Delivery dock in back of the building. You have to figure out how to get to the back side because the entrance is curved in a ONE WAY fashion. Fast and easy unload. Smiling faces“

“Great find for some lunch. Ordered a BLT with avocado & cheese in sourdough which was made to order. The service was speedy and I waited less than 5 minutes before it was ready. The bread was really fresh and the sandwich was super tasty, one of the best I’ve had.

There’s a decent selection of different baguettes, breads, cheese and other fillings. Also they sell drinks and a selection of snacks.“

“Fantastic cheesecakes, absolutely delicious will be back for more! Also the best customer service....fantastic deli support local“

“This awesome establishment is located in Union Square not the Financial District.“

“I had to go over to Mayton Humpstumper's place to fix his wife's Wigglewhooper because she revved it up to high and burned out the thruster bearings! It's an easy fix as long as its been sanitized, and to make sure I called ahead and asked Mayton to put it through the decontamination chamber again! This gave me plenty of time to stop at the Maitland Market Café & Deli! The sandwiches there are Amazing! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆“

“Great little spot in North Beach. The gelato selection and quality is top notch, and their pistachio cannoli are awesome every time.“

“Um ótimo lugar para compras diárias, para sua casa. Servidos por pessoas qualificadas e responsáveis pelo atendimento. 👍👏🎉☕🍨🍰🍝🍗🍪🍞🍕🍬🍎🗽💐“

“We both orders omlettes and didn’t realise it was egg whites rather than the yolks but it was fine I really enjoyed them tho my husband said they were ok. Coffee was great too and the service was so good , it’s definetly worth a visit as prices are reasonable too. Staff are also very friendly“

“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.“

“I don't buy a lot of deli food, but City's Choice is an exception. I have become fond of their turkey sandwiches, and usually order one when I visit a friend at his work for lunch. The ingredients always taste fresh, and the couple that runs the shop are efficient. It doesn't hurt that their prices on sandwiches are the best in the neighborhood.“

“Food was very good, good service too. Really good location and it reminds me of a 1940s diner. Pretty good menus and selection of food. \nBut unfortunately this is probably my last visit. Which is really too bad as I really like the place and would recommend it to everyone. But, as I was leaving I noticed a sign in the widow I hadn’t seen when entering. Stating that law enforcement was not allowed if they don’t have a warrant. Well I support law enforcement and if they aren’t allowed to dine here then I won’t be back either. Too bad, I really like this restaurant.“

“A very nice clean store and deli, really loved the variety of salads in the deli. Being on vacation and eating mostly at restaurants it is a refreshing food option for lunch that if you choose right can be a little healthier. Nice guys behind counter, a must stop if I am staying in this area.“

“They have great burgers and other delightful sandwiches....“

“I don't know how many, but there are at least two Kelly's Delis in the East Bay that are located by Home Depots, so whenever I go to Home Depot I check them out.They have a variety of burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches and mexican food.I really enjoy their breakfast burritos which are made with hashbrowns, eggs, rice and choice of meat.They're decently priced and their team turns around orders relatively quick.“

“Best roast turkey sandwich.....and the fresh sourdough rolls are to die for!“
