    Cali cheese steak
    Tommy L.

    This place has great sandwiches. I come here all the time. Today I got the Cali cheesesteak. It's got roast beef, mushrooms, marinated cream cheese, jack cheese, onions, and pepperoncinis on a toasted French roll. That's how you can oder it. For me I skipped the onions and added mayo just to switch it up a little, and as always, it was amazing. The bread had that nice toast on it, a little crispy on the outside but still soft. The roast beef was stacked in there, super juicy, with all that melted cheese just covering everything. You can see the mushrooms and peppers mixed in, and it all kind of blends together in every bite. It's messy as heck with all the juices soaking into the bread, but soooo good. Service is always good as well. There are a few girls that worked here today, always smiling, great attitudes, just a really good vibe.

    Menu items sounded delicious. And the sandwich i got tasted fresh and was really yummy! Although, the lady who took our order wasnt very nice. She didnt smile or greet us. She seemed very uninterested in the whole interaction. That alone is what made me give the deli 3 stars. The tables were not cleaned off... had leftover food on them. They had 2 big dogs in there, which is not an issue because I love dogs however these dogs were practically in our laps while we were eating, begging for food and nudging our elbows. I was not used to that nor was I expecting it while trying to dine. I definitely would not return, mostly because of the lack of customer service and care. The overall decor was beach themed and nice but I dont care about that when service is crap and you have dogs trying to get at your food.

    YUM! This was so fire. There was no line when we came in at 2pm on a Saturday, and the cashier was soo sweet and answered our questions and gave the best recommendations. We waited about 10 mins for one hot and one cold Sammy and everything was 5 stars. There is open seating inside and a very nice outdoor area in the sun or shade with activities to do. We will we returning!

    Surf Bird sandwich (XL size) and Malibu pastrami sandwich

    This was my first time visiting and the sandwiches here exceeded my expectations! Kurt and his team took good care of us and gave their recommendations, which were the Surf Bird with turkey, avocado, bacon, and cream cheese and the Malibu which is their pastrami sandwich. You can tell they use the freshest ingredients and quality meat. Probably one of the best pastrami sandwiches I ever had, and they use the same pastrami as the iconic Langer's Deli in LA, which makes sense! Every bite was just so good, I can't recommend this place enough. Bonus points for the cool patio they have with a pool table + $2 draft beers EVERY FRIDAY! I will definitely make the drive again to come back.

    My Company recently ordered Lunch for about 100+ people from Beach Hut Deli, and the Sandwiches and Salads were amazing, everyone couldn't get enough.... so the next day, I had to find them & have lunch there again. I had never had Cream Cheese in a sandwich before, but it was delicious. Where have you been my whole life? The staff was super friendly, gave recommendations, and when I ordered the Santa Cruz Pastrami Sandwich, they recommended me getting it hot, which adds melted Provolone cheese. Amazing. This is a great spot to visit, and they also have Beer on tap. There is lots of parking, as it is in a Plaza, and it's on the North East corner of 17th St & Irvine Ave. Go check them out!

    Cali Cheesesteak
    Caitlin V.

    My husband and I were really disappointed with our Cali Cheesesteak sandwiches. We were in the area, so we had to stop by and pick up two Cali Cheesesteaks. I was so excited to eat my sandwich. I was starving and had been craving it all day. Unfortunately, something was off. It didn't taste like how we remembered it. It was lacking flavor and cream cheese. I frequented this place because they were so generous with their cream cheese and their Cali Cheesesteaks were meaty.

    This sandwich spot has been all over my Tik Tok and it was exciting getting to try it out. They have indoor and outdoor seating, we decided to sit outside since it was such a nice day out. The sandwiches are made fresh to order and they don't play about loading up your sandwiches. Definitely the best bang for your buck. Like do you see the amount of avocado on the sandwiches??! We loved both of our sandwiches and it was a great lunch, the XL is definitely for bigger appetites or to be shared. It was busy on a Saturday afternoon with in-person and takeout orders, we only had to wait a few minutes for our food to be ready. ig: @cravingswithcat

    4 out of 5 's. When they get a dark beer there, I'll give a 5 Otherwise it's a five star local neighborhood hangout. Good sandwiches, good service, fun, relaxing environment (indoors or outdoors), this is the spot. PLENTY of places to park if you're a BIkE If you're driving it's MORE CHALLENGING. Enjoy! This weekend I had the classic BLT with avocado. Yummy before biking & body surfing.

    Truly one of the best Reuben sandwiches I've ever had. The quality is top notch. Awesome atmosphere with lots of TVs and a really spacious outdoor area with a pool table. They're also dog friendly! I wish I lived closer.

    WOW their sandwiches are great!! Have been looking for a great sandwich shop in Costa Mesa/newport and I think I've finally found it. They cover two of my most important conditions for a good sandwich: flavor and size. The Surfin Bird was not only super fresh and delicious, but GIANT! Definitely worth the money especially with what places like Jersey Mike's/Mendocino Farms are charging nowadays! I think our favorite was the Malibu which was a super simply pastrami sandwich with avocado, but they have to put something in there that just takes the flavor to the next level. Aside from the food, the employees and owner are incredibly kind and the entire atmosphere is so lovely. It truly feels like you've stepped off of the beach at San Onofre into a little hut for some good. Best part, they have wine & beer options too!! Definitely want to try their $2 Beer Fridays and their new trivia night on Tuesdays! I think they have a deal for thursday beers as well but will have to see. HIGHLY recommend to anyone passing through or local to the area!

    Oh my goodness that was delicious. Lets start with Elana and the Service. 10-10 ,she was very helpful and knew the Menu so well I took her suggestion and it was instant appreciation. I had the Malibu Sandwich and when I tell you it was a hit, it is as instant. The Garlic Bread was a perfect choice to hold everything together. The Pastrami was tender and flavorful. The Avocado gave it a different but delicious texture that has to be experienced for yourself. This might have been my first time here but certainly not my last. I will probably dedicate the next couple of days getting through the complete Menu. Maybe February, because I'll most like get the Malibu the next couple of times. This was a hit.

    Great tasting sandwiches. I ordered the Skinny Dipper and Malibu and they both hit the spot. Kind of on the pricier side with smaller portions when compared to Board n Brew who I think is its main competitor, but it still doesn't take away from how good it is. Great beach vibes with reggae playing in the background, a bar where you can order beer, and plenty of TVs with sports on.

    What can't I say about Frank's? This was my main breakfast stop with a fellow rower from Orange…read moreCoast College way back in like 1991, which we'd hit regularly for Frank's behemoth mega egg and bacon breakfast sandwich after early morning practice to the point we got to know the owner quite well. As the years went on, I've stopped by here several times (even after long moving away) and the owner himself still recognized me and remembers me with that fellow college friend wolfing down his sandwiches so many years later. Haven't been back in a while, but I'm due a (re)visit! I love that the place is in the exact same spot they've always been. Great food (breakfast or lunch or dinner) ALWAYS. May this store be around for a thousand more years.

    I've been craving a cheesesteak and decided to get takeout from here, so I'll be basing my review…read morestrictly on the food. That being said, this was a great spot! I ordered a small Frank's Choice, and it was delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful, and the cheese was plenty and tasty. I'm a terrible cheesesteak consumer and add lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles, but I loved it (please don't judge me too hard). I also thought you get plenty of food for the price, so the value is certainly there. Overall I was really pleased with this spot and would love to try some of their other items, hopefully in person. Definitely give this place a shot if you're craving a cheesesteak, whether in-person or via delivery.
