    Apetite
    Drake M.

    Food is okay and it is handy when working in the area. Variety is good. However, no matter how handy and acceptable the food is, NOTHING is worth dealing with a grumpy server who obviously would rather be anywhere else but here. My husband joined me for a quick work lunch and I had already ordered. He only speaks French. He ordered a hamburger with no cheese and no mayonnaise. I could hear Martha (server) giving him a hard time so I turned and said all he wants is a simple burger no cheese no mayo. She acted as if I was asking for her first born. She told me we have 3 different types of burgers and I need to see which one is easier for ME to input. Knock me over with a feather, didn't realize no cheese no mayo was such a complicated order! I said, maybe instead of picking out what is easier for you maybe consult with him since he is paying for it. I got up to assist my husband in getting what HE wants and she mumbled "lady you don't have to come up here" as she gave me a look that would have incinerated me if she could. I said I wasn't aware I needed your permission to assist my husband in selecting his meal, I also said "you can give me all the dirty looks you want, it doesn't change the fact you have been beyond rude, not helpful, and forgot the paying customer should have a say in what he/she orders." This lady obviously has a serious attitude problem and would probably be better suited to work back of the house/prep and have no contact with paying customers wanting to enjoy a quick bite before returning to work. Needles a to say my husband decided not to order and we walked out.

    Big Breakfast Burrito with Bacon, egg, cheese, potato
    Melissa T.

    Everyone working was very nice and polite! They have lots of fresh grab and go items as well as hot food. The breakfast burrito with bacon was good. Scrambled eggs, cheese, bacon, and potato on a grilled tortilla. The red sauce has great flavor.

    This place has a "grab and go" vibe. $16 for a croissant and drip coffee. Not many other options around so if you are in a pinch for breakfast this gets the job done.

    Harvest Chicken Salad Sandwich

    Hidden deli inside of a professional business building downtown. Thought it was clean and spaced out nicely for the times we are in. I did the Harvest Chicken Salad Sandwich today. Pretty healthy tasting choice. Albeit they do have burgers on the menu I want to try out next time.

    On my 1st visit in 2020, I had their signature Appetite cheddar burger cooked medium rare with waffle chips. I rate top 10 burger in San Diego.

    Coming back to send my love to my favorite sub place…read more I've sadly moved to a different part of town so Fatboy's is no longer a few blocks away. I still try to stop by every few months as this place holds a special place in my heart. A no frills spot. Solid and consistent. To the point but friendly customer service. Fantastic drink, chip and snack selection. Sandwiches are always bomb asf. The hot momma and BLT loaded up is my favorite. My husband still loves their Ruben (it is his favorite place to get it.) You get a small potato or macaroni salad on the side with a pickle (perfect crunch.) I personally think it's a great little add on. Their chili is also simple but delicious. I personally think their chili pairs perfectly with any of their sandwiches. It's not a heavy thick chili. Which is why I think it pairs so well. I won't lie it's a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. It's loaded up and good quality. I never feel gross or overly bloated after eating here. I will be coming back to Fatboy's until I move out of San Diego or die. lol. One of my favorite gems in SD. Always will be worth the drive or walk. Thank you for always delivering even years later.

I used to frequent Fatboy's because it was close and convenient for a long time, but I am rarely able to visit anymore... parking is a bigger challenge every day in North Park, and finding even a 15-minute spot takes way longer than the drive for me now (but the walk is too far to pick up a quick meal). Today I was down the street for something else so decided to order a sandwich. I was excited, then my jaw dropped when I saw the price increases. It's $18 for the North Park Club now, with no extras. I already had a hard time justifying $15 for a sandwich but I'm officially, 100% priced out now. I know it's not necessarily on the business owners; rent is exorbitant in NP, profit margins are small in the food service industry, and operating costs are high. Our city is eating itself alive, but thank you for the years of sandwiches!

I thought I'd just get the fries since cheesesteaks seem to be their specialty, and I don't eat beef. But I decided to try their Chicken Ranch sandwich. The sandwich was better than I expected. I was picturing the basic grilled chicken sandwich--a piece of grilled chicken on a hamburger bun. Instead, it was loaded with tender, flavorful chicken, bacon, white American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and ranch. Totally messy to eat, but in the best possible way! And the Cheez Whiz fries were exactly what I was craving. They definitely hit the spot. Customer service was excellent too! So glad I stopped in!

    After a six-hour tattoo session, I had earned two things: a cheesesteak and absolutely no judgment…read moreabout the amount of food I was about to eat. Being from Philly, I take my cheesesteaks very seriously. Probably more seriously than a reasonable adult should. So when I finally tried Gaglione Bros. in San Diego, I went in hopeful. First, the good stuff. The staff was wonderful, genuinely friendly, the place was clean, and there were plenty of options. They even had Amoroso rolls and fresh-shaved prime rib. On paper, we were speaking my language. But whenever I try a new "Philly cheesesteak" place, I order my first steak plain. No cheese, no onions, no peppers, no hiding behind toppings. If you want to call yourself a Philly steak shop, the steak and bread should be able to stand on their own. Unfortunately, this one didn't. The meat was heavily salted and peppered, surprisingly dry, and every couple of bites I was pulling out pieces of fat. And nothing makes you question your dining choices quite like discreetly removing a piece of steak from your mouth in public. For me, a great cheesesteak has balance. The meat should be tender and juicy, with enough seasoning to bring out the beef rather than overpower it. There should be a little richness from the griddle, the steak juices, and everything cooking around it. Then you add the onions, mushrooms, peppers, cheese or whatever your particular Philly allegiance demands. This steak just didn't have that softness or heart. It honestly reminded me more of the tourist cheesesteak experience in Philly. And my fellow Philadelphians know exactly what I mean when I say that. A real Philly cheesesteak isn't complicated food, but that's precisely why every part matters. The bread matters. The meat matters. The griddle matters. And somehow, when someone really knows how to make one, you can taste the heart in it. Would I try Gaglione Bros. again? Probably not for the cheesesteak. The people were great and the place itself left a good impression, but the steak didn't. Mostly, the experience just left this Philly girl Jonesing for a long weekend back home, a walk down South Street, and a cheesesteak from that place. If you're from Philly, you already know which one I mean.

The guy at the register was kind and patient. They have a vast menu to select from. Sandwiches, smoothies, flat breads, pastries, sides, drinks, etc. They also had a wide variety of sandwiches to choose from. At least 20-30 if I were to guess. It will be easy to find something that peaks your interest. We got the Ruben, turkey club, strawberry banana smoothie and two pieces of cheesecake. The sandwiches were standard but definitely quality. Nice, neat and not too messy. If you like a sauced up sandwich I'd definitely ask for extra condiments. The smoothie was absolutely delicious. They definitely don't add any protein (unless you ask) or weird added sugar. Naturally sweet and refreshing. The cheesecake was the real star of the show. I didn't ask if they were made in house but they sure tasted made in house (or from a local bakery.) The cheesecake was not too thick or heavy. Creamy and delicious.

Service was quick. Once we got the sandwich, we were DEVOURING it. Such a good Monte Cristo. They were super generous with the ham. The havarti was perfectly melted, giving you that cheesy pull with every bite. The bread was toasted perfectly with nice crisp edges while still staying soft inside. Add that little sweetness from the powdered sugar. What more could you want from a Monte Cristo? It also comes with some maple syrup and fruit on the side.
