If you have not been to this place, then you need to do yourself a favor and go asap. I saw signs around town and decided to give it a try. A hidden gem for sure. Such delicious and fresh, made to order sandwiches. All the girls working were so nice. Although it might have been my first time there, it definitely won't be my last. read more

Attentive, kind and enthusiastic customer service. The sandwiches are consistently excellent, although a thin shell of crispness would elevate the overall balance and profile. read more

I believe it was the owner who made my sandwich and I ordered the turkey bacon club and the girl who took the order was right...... but the owner has a terrible mouth was cussing and gave me a turkey club with avocado and missed all the extras on the sandwich. Super disprespectful. Really grateful I didn't bring my kids here the employees were great but the owner loved talking about Paris instead of focusing on my sandwich read more

Great service. Amazing food and good prices. We will be back. Most place they don't talk to you but they are very personable my dog likes your chicken read more

I love love a good deli . Especially these mom and pop shops in the commercial plazas. These are the ones that need our support the most A1 stood out in the photos so I finally got to try.

Excellent soft bread that soak up the flavors. Not too cheesy not too much meat just right Turkey avocado bacon was also very good. 10 inch must be more than a foot seems like. Once again excellent bread Really good sandwiches here I highly recommend making a stop for some good food with friendly service read more

Bread is not the best not soft and breaks up like its old. Had a italian sandwich was very bland no taste or any seasoning to it. I would try it again. read more

Sandwiches are excellent. Love the thin sliced turkey so much. Great soft bread. I'm dropping a star, unfortunately for the girl with the face tattoos. She took my order over the phone like I was bothering her or keeping her from something. So nasty. Then when I picked up the sammie, I heard her doing the same thing to the person on the phone while I was standing there. Just be nice to people, it takes very little effort. read more

Go small businesses! I came as a first timer after debating what to eat and after reading some of reviews started heading there. Good parking in an industrial business parking lot. I couldn't decide between the turkey bacon cheese avocado sandwich on squaw or tuna salad. I ended up going with the recommendation for turkey on toasted bread which was delish! Good portion, the sandwich was heavier on the avocado which is a problem I don't mind having yum!! You also get banana peppers and pickles... perfect pairing. They have soups that rotate which I'll have to try next time I'm here as well as weekly specials. I'm updating the menu in my pics so everyone can decide between what loaded goodness they want. The popular ones I was told was the A1 sandwich which is a take on Italian and their roast beef which I'll be back for. As for service and speed, I came when it wasn't busy. They were helpful and patient with me and the sandwich came out fast. Thanks A1! read more

Pastrami Reuben sandwich was just terrific. French roll that they recommended was delicious. My instinct is to always get this on rye bread, but because of the slaw it might've soaked through, they recommended the French roll. A small was ample... A large 6+ inches of goodness. The staff could not have been more enthusiastic and accommodating. The kind of place where they truly value every customer who walks in the door. They even have it decorated very nicely for the industrial center that it lives in. Highly recommend and will be coming back for sure. I'm just sorry it's taken me so long to get here! read more

Absolutely Devine. Best chicken, bacon, ranch I have had in a long time! Bread was super fresh and all the ingredients were prepared/ cooked to perfection. The two ladies working behind the counter were pumping orders out and very efficient. I will be back. Also I want to point out I was asking for suggestions and pricing questions and she was able to answer everything quickly. Love a capable and good working woman! Cheers ladies. read more

Service is not the best, I tried going a few times since my work place is so close but my goodness ordering ahead, delivery even was always delayed.. food definitely not worth the price nor the attitude of some of the workers there! I'll go out of my way to avoid A1 as well as my co-workers. read more

I really wasn't expecting to have the best sandwich of my life today... but here I am on Yelp writing because I just really need the world to order the roast beef Philly and tell me that I'm right when I say.... That is as the best sandwich in California. Ronda and the entire staff and really nice and fast. The vibe of the restaurant is old school diner vibes which I love. So many drink choices as well. read more

Absolutely delicious sandwiches and A1 customer service :)! I had been looking for a good go-to sandwich spot and this place definitely delivered. The A1 super sub was incredible. The bread had the perfect texture and I loved that it included roast beef, ham, and turkey. The cheese and avocado just made it that much better. I also really enjoyed the turkey avocado sandwich which I ordered on wheat with light mayo. All the ingredients they add are very fresh and flavorful. The two people working there were so nice and welcoming! The restaurant is clean and has plenty of places to sit and enjoy your food inside. read more

Very simple request of getting a turkey and bacon wrap i said please no avocado i do not like the taste of it. She recommended i add cheese and i said okay great was happy with recommendations. But nothing bothers me more than when i order something and its done incorrectly i gave it a chance anyway tried eating it but even with the cheese i was just tasting the veggies and guac. No flavor needed some salt or dressing and for 15$ plus tip. I hate wasting money especially on food especially when things are not cheap anymore and now im super disappointed with wasted calories because this order was not given to me correctly and did not hit. yes im mad. Get it right. And no i did not go back it was my lunch i take 30 min did not have time to go back. Was my First time. 3 stars because looked like nice ppl. read more

Skimpy portions for the price and girl at the counter was not very nice. Almost felt like I was inconveniencing her. Bummer...

My go-to for quick service and a very healthy and tasty bacon, turkey and avocado sandwich on wheat. A nice get away from the work environment with it's nostalgic vibe. Employees are respectful and friendly. Definitely recommend it read more

can't believe I've lived in Orange all this time and somehow missed this little gem that's been here for 40 years! The sandwiches are absolutely delicious fresh ingredients, perfectly made, and full of flavor. The customer service was superb, friendly, and welcoming. It's rare to find a place that makes you feel at home right away. Definitely my new go-to spot, and I'll 100% be coming back again and again! read more

Nice little unassuming deli in a commercial area off. The staff was extremely friendly and seemed genuinely excited to hear I was a new customer. My wife and I had the Philly cheesesteak and the bacon and pastrami sandwich, respectively. Both were absolutely tasty, and was a good value for the amount of food you get. Head and shoulders above their competitors in the area. If you're craving a sandwich, you definitely need to stop in and try one. read more

Very nice place and very delicious sandwiches. I ordered the hot Philly cheesesteak sandwich, which was absolutely wonderfully delicious. I'm a cheese lover, and I enjoyed the cheese portions. The reason I'm not giving them five stars is because they need to be a little more generous with their meat. The last few bites of my sandwich had no meat. read more

Delicious sandwiches! Family took care of our team and everyone was so friendly. We will be back

Amazing subs just amazing man I heavily recommend this joint love how it's lowkey as well just amazing

Great owners and polite employees making FRESH to order sandwiches. Ive had the New yorker Italian, BLT and Philly Cheesesteak ALL were EXCELLENT I would only suggest to them to GUT the bread on the Italian cold cut sandwich, too much bread, ruins the quality of the cold cuts. Prices very reasonable, KEEP local small biz in business!!! Support them 5 stars!! read more

Here is a very lovely homemade & homey sandwich restaurant in Orange From parking and walking into the restaurant, I can feel right away this is a very friendly and local place. Everyone smiles and greets each other by name. It's a very wholesome atmosphere that you'll want to go back!! They have a variety of hot and cold sandwiches - all homemade from scratch. You can also get A LOT of drinks and chips as a side. Actually, they have the most variety of chips I've seen in LA since moving here LOL Mine one features hot turkey which is warm and yummy. The portion is also very generous in meat, vegs and bread!! read more

Going with two stars because I actually ordered three sandwiches and two of the appeared decent (Italian sub & Salami n Cheese) The heartbreaker was the Pastrami. Being a Pastrami lover i ordered it with extra meat and happily paid the price. That was until I opened it. Extra meat was not noticeable and was light by normal Deli standards. Then then the taste of it was prepackaged and super low quality. "Buddings Beef" Staff was friendly and polite though. read more

Fun + Friendly service. I would like to see the balance between meat and bread more equal

What a quaint spot for lunch. We were looking for something nearby, simple and fresh and we found it. They have a variety of cold and hot sandwiches, wraps and salads. You can combo it with a drink and chips. We split 2 sandwiches to try them both. The pastrami was excellent! It was lean and flavorful. We also tried the Turkey, avocado and bacon wrap. It was fresh tasting but if I was to have it again I would minus a few items as it seemed to be too many things in one wrap that took away the true flavor. There is cute booth seating in a bright red/white scheme. Worth the stop for sure. read more

We were spending the day in Orange County and A1 was one of our stops. I decided to try one of their hot sandwiches and got the pastrami and cheese one. Service was very nice and quick!

Today I order a pastrami sandwich and it looked undercooked and barley had meat on it. I have had this place before when it was cooked correctly but not when there is the lady with the tattoo on her face is cooking the sandwiches. I think you guys have officially lost my business when she is working! I am currently pregnant too so this is not safe for me to eat undercooked. It sucks because the owners are great people but some of the people you have working there need to learn how to cook certain meats correctly! I'm sad but it's okay read more

The woman at the counter with the face tattoos is very rude and she talks down to the customers and puts a smile on her face when the owner is around. I've been there multiple times and she is worse almost everytime. DO NOT EAT HERE EVER AGAIN read more

It's not often I crave for a deli sandwich but when I do, I now have my go to spot. I ordered their most popular cold sandwich, the A-1 Super Sub and one hot sandwich, the Hot Roast Beef. Super Sub - it came with a whole lot of everything. Roast beef, breast of turkey, sliced ham, cheese and avocado. The green sauce they added in there is so good. It really goes well with the whole sub. It mash up very well with mayo and mustard. I usually would have added so much mustard over this sub, but it didn't need it. This sub was so huge, it was definitely hard to bite into it. I would order this again Hot Roast Beef - Extra lean roast beef, comes with cheese and mystery sauce. By the time I ate half way through, I thought to myself, damn, this is good. Two different sizes of loaf to choose from: 6" or 10". Four different types of breads. and they load it up with veggies: lettuce, tomatoes and onions, with a side of pepperoncini. They have a wide of selection to choose from, so if you're nearby, you can really eat something different everyday! Soup, salads, sandwiches & MORE! They also cater as well. If I worked close by, this would have been my go to spot for lunch. read more
