“Get the Glorious Bastard sandwich like your life depends on it. It’s the best sandwich I’ve ever had the pleasure of eating. The complimentary flavors of the seasoned turkey, bacon, garlic mayo, crispy lettuce, and pickled red onions is INSANE. Combined with the textures of the Dutch crunch roll and fresh avocado that just ties it all together. Unfortunately I’m not from California, but whenever I’m there Salty’s is always a priority. It’s seriously that good. Just get it if you can. It also comes with tomato but I get it without cause I don’t like raw tomato, so that is also an option!”

The combination of the slow-cooked beef, deep flavors, and crispy bread made every bite satisfying. It was hearty without being too heavy, and the portion was generous. Overall, a comforting and flavorful sandwich that I would definitely order again!”

“I am going to change my review after being called and harassed from the owner who yelled at me. I am so sorry, You see that I belong to this crazy group of people who believe when we order something. It's that something that comes our way. It's my fault for not understanding how it works now. We order, then something comes and we are supposed to like it and only give good reviews but not our actual experience. So it's more about the social media presence, and not the customer, ah ok. I get it. How silly of me to write my own experience down and give my opinion. Being yelled at on the phone is now dessert, and the pass the buck between the delivery companies is the point at which no one is responsible. I am gonna continue to be thankful and make great orders and give great reviews. I will have slightly adjusted expectations knowing maybe it will come. I will write those great reviews, 5 stars all the way, yay, Although it won't be the truth, I think this is what the restaurant wants me to do. Food was great, it wasn't what I ordered and I couldn't be more happy!!!!!!! 5 stars all the way. We will stop at nothing to protect the ego of restaurant owners in this city. I did indeed mention 3 other places under this review who also in the same 35 hour period seemed to have the same problem. This restaurant does not deserve that shade. I have learned know the way. This public forum has no place for bad reviews, just good ones. I can get on with that.”

I made a special trip here from Napa just to see for myself the quality of the meats, cheeses, produce and breads. And.. I'll tell you, the Ham & Cheese Deli lived up th the hype! I aways judge a deli with the simplest of ham sandos, it was 5 ☆☆☆☆☆'s and they didn't even try! Amazingly Delicious!”

“If you’re a bagel lover in San Francisco, this place is an absolute must-visit! Honestly, it was one of the best bagels I’ve ever tasted – perfectly baked, with a great texture and flavor. The portions are generous, and the fillings are consistent and satisfying in every bite. There’s a wide variety of bagel options, so whether you like it classic or more creative, you’ll find your favorite. The service was excellent- fast, super attentive, and genuinely warm. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the place is spotless, which adds to the overall experience. You can tell there’s a strong recurring clientele, and for good reason. We had the pleasure of chatting with the owner, a wonderful and welcoming man, who made us feel like old friends. On our second visit, he even surprised us with fresh orange juice on the house – such a thoughtful gesture! We’ll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend you don’t hesitate either — you might just taste the best bagel of your life in this SF gem! 5/5 for sure!!!”

The sandwich was huge and packed with fresh ingredients. I also loved hearing that he doesn't carry ingredients over from one day to the next, so everything stays fresh. That attention to quality definitely shows in the taste. Great food, generous portions, and genuinely kind service. I'll definitely be coming back for another bánh mì!”

“Excellent! Had a chicken sandwich with BBQ sauce, full of flavor. As a Texan, I tend to be skeptical when a non-BBQ place uses sauce. It was just the right amount and tasted great. Friendly service, too. Feels like a neighborhood kind of joint. The friend I went with comes here all the time; the staff knew her usual order. I'd say it's good both for travelers and for the everyday kind of meals.”

I have celiac so I was nervous when my office chose a sandwich spot for a catered lunch, but when I called mission picnic they assured me they could make my sandwich on gluten free bread and would follow appropriate procedures to prevent cross contamination. My sandwich came packed in a separate bag apart from the items with gluten and was marked “gluten free” in multiple places. I felt really safe and the sandwich was great!”

“Looks like a a tall , green , corn chip dipped into a red salsa sauce. It does not have the grace of Flatiron in NY; and hence it relies on reputation of hosting a restaurant, Cafe Zoetrope, frequented by the great film director Coppola ; it’s a building that lives on the fame of another person. It’s a side show but at least it’s not an eye sore.”
