I love sandwiches, but it's hard to find places that do it right. I don't know if it's because the Sandwich is such a simple concept that we take for granted, but anytime I find a shop like this I'm delighted to try everything. I give this place five stars because although they're not doing anything terribly innovative (embellishing a standard sandwich and transforming it to a gourmet buy is nothing new) they're pulling it off really well with good ingredients. They use great meats, cheeses, and bread. I can't get to Ike's everyday - it's far, far out of my way, but this place is only a block away. My favorites include the cowboy melt and the gouda good. Seriously... the rotisserie chicken and the breads they use here are mindblowing. read more

This place is absolutely delicious. I come here almost every time I head into the city and it's always my first recommendation when someone asks me for a good (but not fancy) place to eat in SF. Bite never disappoints. I've had the Gouda Good, Kitchen Sink, and...other sandwiches that I don't even remember. Anything with rotisserie chicken is their specialty. All of the sandwiches are HUGE, and the Kitchen Sink is even more ridiculously big. I think it comes with 7 types meat, and it looks like a full 1.5 inches of meat. The sandwiches are super juicy, and I would come here every time. 100% worth the $8-10! The place is super small though. There are a few seats outside that they share with the place next door. However it is relatively close to Union Square so you can pick up a sandwich and eat it there. Not much else to say except that I would come here again and again and again! read more

I probably go here once a week because it really is that addicting (granted I live about 4 blocks away). Their sandwiches are consistently awesome. You really can't go wrong with anything on the menu, although my personal favorite is the Gouda Good. All in all, nothing is particularly fancy about any of the sandwiches, they're just damn good. My only knock on the place is that seating options are a little limited if you plan on eating there. However they do get bonus points for being open so late. Highly recommended! read more

These SANDWICHES ARE HUGE. It was during my birthday right before I was going to club and I decided to eat a sandwich to have something soak up the alcohol. My girlfriend and I stumble across this hole in the wall sandwich place and we decide to try it out. There were a variety of sandwiches but the one I chose was called the Kitchen Sink consisting of Seven Meats, Two Cheeses, Artichoke Hearts, Bistro Sauce on Dutch Crunch. After about a 20 minute wait, my sandwich had arrived and it was the size of my forearm, if not larger, in both length and height. I'm the type of guy that can eat a whole Kings cut of prime rib with the sides and salad, but it took 2 meals for me to finish this monster. I would recommend going here if you happen to be in the TL. I would like to go here more, but the location isn't that great. Maybe the next time that I go clubbing I'll stop by here. read more

A Mighty Delicious Sandwich Gouda Good Or Build Your Own. I never write reviews. But it was breathe taking. read more

Went here with my family to grab a bite to eat for lunch outside of the craziness of Union Square. Upon arrival, we were greeted with the delicious smell of rotisserie chicken. After experiencing that, I decided to go off the menu and order a chicken sandwich with lettuce, avocado, and a chipotle sauce on a french roll. Man, did this sandwich hit the spot. I felt a bit bad about having such a specific order, but I really enjoyed the flavor combination of the chicken with the spicy chipotle and the fresh avocado. The service here was alright and the food took about 20 minutes to come out, but everything is priced pretty reasonably and the food is of high quality. Definitely worth the trek from Union Square. read more

One of the best parts about living in Lower Nob Hill is living near Bite. It's my new favorite deli. Good: - Hole in the wall - Can call for pickup - Friendly staff - [Biggest plus] The sandwiches are awesome I usually get the Gobbler, which includes turkey, bacon, crumbled blue cheese and avocado on Dutch Crunch. It is awesome, and the flavors really play off each other, without overpowering you. The Day After Thanksgiving was also pretty tasty. Bad: - Price, if anything. read more

I got 2 sandwiches recently - vinny's bag of donuts (meatball), and gouda good. I couldn't remember if I'd had the meatball before, but once I got it, I realized I had - and THEN remembered that I don't recommend it. It's not *bad* but the meatballs are too compressed and golfball sized, which make the sandwich pretty lopsided. Meatballs seem to work well to me when they're cut in half - a sphere is a tricky thing between two pieces of bread. Anyway, more importantly, I just think their texture is off, although the sauce is pretty good. The gouda good was a lot more peppery than I expected, and I found that flavor to almost overwhelm the sandwich. The cheese was fine, but I didn't think it added all that much to the sandwich. The bread for both sandwiches was better than I remembered it being before, so that was good. Seriously, next time I'm going to put together a sandwich myself. For real this time. read more

OMG it always smells so good whenever I walk past the shop. They have great sandwiches and rotisserie chicken. You can either select one of their sandwiches or make one yourself by filling out a form. There are a few tables outside where you can people watch and enjoy your sandwiches or you can always walk to Union Square and enjoy your food there. They have a kids menu and their pb&j had slices of apples in it. They also have a fair amount of vegetarian sandwiches. It can get pretty busy during prime hours but their sandwiches are worth the wait. read more

Their business hours say they're open until 2 am, I stopped by around midnight and they're closed. Either stick to your business hours or update them. read more

Rating and review based on a half-dozen meals here. I like Bite, but I don't get the hype. I would never, never rate this 5 stars. It's more like 3.5. They roast their own chicken, but most of the other meats are just standard Boar's Head cold cuts. Bread is good, but not extraordinary. I always enjoy the meal they sell me, but it's a little expensive for the quality (in my opinion). For whatever it's worth, my gold standard for sandwich places is http://www.yelp.com/biz/zingermans-delicatessen-ann-arbor-2#query:zingerman%27s%20deli. I'm curving the review based on the fact that Zingermans charges $12 bucks for a sandwich, v.s. $8 or so at Bite. Millers over on Polk is pretty good, too. They're open late, the service is friendly, and the food is a convenient intersection of tasty, affordable and not-deep-fried, so I will return periodically. I noticed that the salads looked pretty good, so maybe that's my next thing to try. read more

By FAR the BEST sandwich spot in the city! Open late, and always delicious!! You can make your own to order, or better yet, order one of their sandmazing wiches!! Truly unbeatable. I have been there dozens of times and will be there many many many more times. All of my friends request that we go there any time we are anywhere near by. Always a GREAT idea!! DELICIOUS!!! If you are even thinking about Yelping a sandwich spot in the city, pay for a cab and get here. You may never leave!! read more

First of all this place is open all night, til 2am, 7-days a week. You can't beat that. Second the sandwiches are awesome, each one is da bomb. I just had the Moshie Moshie and seriously I couldn't eat it fast enough. I wonder how many times I will frequent this place in 1 year... 100? So stoked that this place is here. Seriously a hole in the wall.. Make a date with the sandwich :) read more

My family and I just stayed at a hotel nearby and were originally just going to go to Subway until one of the porters at The Beresford Arms Hotel highly recommend Bite. We are SO glad he did because their food is FANTASTIC! First off, the place is easy to find and everyone that works there is VERY SWEET. Fresh bread, rotisserie meats, hug wheels of cheeses, it was awesome! Please give them a try. For such well made food and friendly service all with reasonable prices, they deserve your business. :-) read more

I am in town for business and saw that this place had good reviews so thought I'd give it a go. I had the Firecracker because I love spice. However, I was a bit disappointed. I didn't feel like the sandwich was spicy at all. It did have some good flavors, and the sandwich was a good size. I'd go back and probably try something else if I lived in the area. read more

Great sandwiches, my wife and I both got the Gobbler: turkey, bacon avocado on Dutch crunch. Price is reasonable and all the ingredients were really fresh. Took a few more minutes to make than I expected (about 10) but it's fresh so worth the wait. Lighter than Ike's, which is what this place most reminds me of. I would come back. My one regret is not trying a sandwich with their rotisserie chicken, which is what they're most known for. Also wish this place had a bit more seating. Better for takeout than sit down. read more

No none-sense whole in the wall sandwich place that serves fantastic roasted chicken sandwiches. Usually get the gouda good, but others are all pretty fantastic. The chicken based sandwich are definitely the way to go, as the other more traditional deli meat sandwiches I've had are just ok. Highly recommend calling ahead your order as the wait could be a bit during peak hours. read more

It was late. I was hungry. They were open. I was sick with the flu. They were close. All very good reasons to come here. I had a Vinny's Bag Of Donuts which is meatballs, marinara, provolone on wheat roll. Lots of choices. Good sandwich. Good stuff. Back to sleep. read more

All I have to say is The Gouda Good. Delicious and possibly the best sandwich I have ever had. I live around the corner from this deli and it hasn't let me down yet. Well...except for the time they didn't put ketchup on my italian sausage sandwich, but I forgive them. The guy behind the counter is funny and entertaining plus they are open til 2am. Love it. read more

If you're looking for high quality this is not your place. Low quality all around and over priced for what you get, one of the biggest wastes of $14.50 for a sandwich. Paid $2 extra for the wimpiest one strip of bacon. $1.40 extra for avocado and there is seriously one tiny sliver of avocado. The rest of the sandwich is mediocre to just ok and you can tell the person making it doesn't care about making good good at all. You're much better off going to Blue Barn ok Polk St. or Whole Foods on California St. read more

Order literally just didn't come...lol I ordered a sandwich, waited for an hour and a half before calling in to make sure it was still coming. Was assured that it would come within 15 minutes. Waited another 30 and it just never came lol :/ read more

Sandwiches not so great anymore. Food often not available on time or at all. They close before their stated hours. They've really gone downhill. Hope they can get back on track. I'd give 1-star, but they used to be good, so 2 stars out of nostalgia. read more

We were staying at the Hotel Vertigo on our honeymoon, and luckily Bite was right next door. We walked by it a few times on our way to site see/other restaurants. One night we were hungry and didn't feel like walking so gave this place a try. !!!!! is all we have to say! The sandwiches may be close to the best I've ever had. We tried the Gobbler and Gouda Good. Both were delicious--I wanted to keep eating the Gouda though I was full. Sandwiches were nice sized, and the Dutch Crunch bread was awesome and unique. I saved half for the next day and it was still crunchy and just as good. I got a salad the first time, while my husband got the Gobbler, and I realized what a mistake I made after trying a bite of his. The salad was okay, had a ton of overpowering dressing and just didn't compare with the sandwiches. Also the wait was a little long both times. This is why I deducted one star. A big bonus is that they are open til 1:30 am, so you can satisfy your late night craving. Also, this is more of a take home/take out place--I think there were 2 small tables, but that is it. Wish we could have tried all the sandwiches, but alas we are back home in the deep south. read more

The Gotti, and it's under $10. Sandwich was epic; the two cheeses and the huge smokestack-like amount of meat was incredible. Took it back to Ace's and wanted to sleep on the bar, but then thought twice about it. Will definitely be back if I'm in the area. read more

Pro-tip: call in your order, then pick up. Walking in at lunchtime will garner you a long wait for food. Bite is known for its sandwiches, not salads. I ordered the salad and while it was tasty, I was hungry mere hours later. Also the one time I ordered soup here, I took a few bites and threw it away because it was so lumpy with starch. read more

Moshe Moshe was wonderful. Probably the best sandwich in town. I like that their roast chicken had both white and dark meat - it's the way it should be and a great mix to make it moist yet not too greasy. The vegetarian sandwich I heard was just ok. read more

This is a diamond in the rough. Huge sandwiches with boars heads meats, rotisserie chicken, and more sauces than you can think of. It's small, it's divey, and they make damn good sandwiches. Did I mention they are open until 2 am? This place doesn't try to be anything it isn't its just a spot with amazing sandwiches and it's open late. I don't think it gets better than that. read more

Sandwiches. As many as you can imagine. Although it may be a little pricey for some (be prepared to pay $8+ for your sammich), it's well worth it for others. I've tried a good 7-8 of their sandwiches and haven't regretted a single one. I'd definitely recommend the Gouda Good to any Bite virgins. It'll blow your mind. Also keep in mind that there are no tables to sit down and eat, but if you pay for a coffee next door they'll let you use theirs. read more

Get: The Good Gouda Amazing sandwich! Only tried the Good Gouda based on Yelp reviews and man they were right! The rotisserie chicken and the sauce and the dutch crunch bread yummmmm. A great replacement to Ike's and it's close to work? #win. read more

Overall experience 4/5 Experience 5/5 I love that its open late! I went around 11ish pm so it wasnt busy & my order was ready in 5 mins:) Food:4/5 I thought the sandwich was ok (ordered the sleeper) i would probably rather go to ikes? Or maybe try a different sandwich next time. I would come to bite if ikes is closed ^_^ read more

Solid sandwiches! Got the Gouda good- I think I should have asked for less mustar or sauce I think it may have overpowered he chicken a little bit but still great!!! read more

Bite - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

I'm a regular customer - Bite never fails to impress me. The Firecracker is the spiciest sandwich I've ever had. Thank you for making great sandwiches and keep up the incredible work! read more

They serve so many different sandwiches and wraps you really can't make up your mind! And they're all good!! They open late so that's always a plus! Their service is quick and fast and their portions are quite big! read more

Hot damn. One of the best sandwiches I've had in the city. Better than Morty's and Le Petite Sandwich. The bread is so fresh, and the entire sandwich had so much flavor. Felt like it melted in my mouth. I had The Gotti. It's also open really late. Will definitely go again. read more

Overpriced and not enough meat ! They do have whole wheat fluffy buns which is a plus. The taste is great. I recommend trying it I just wish I got more meat for paying 12$ ? read more

Been here many times. I ordered a different wrap each time all were great! You can build your own sandwich too, highly recommended! read more

Bite - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

Every time I crave a sandwich, I crave "My Ex" from here! And it truly puts me in a happy place! If you order ahead of time, they are pretty good with the time they quote and its easy to quickly stop in front, if in a car. Side note: beverages and snack are almost $2 more than if you buy it next door (liquor store). read more

Awesome sandwiches for the price!!! I loved the menu because it was easy and self explanatory! The names for their specials are hilarious! I got the rotisserie chicken sandwich and it was tender and not chewy at all. My boyfriend got the seven meat layered sandwiched that was stacked!!! We couldn't even finish it. Pros: Fresh ingredients, with fresh toasted bread. Sandwiches are large and filling. Flavorful with every bite! They give you a lollipop for dessert! Cons: only two people working so it takes a little while for the sandwiches to be done. The sandwiches are huge but very messy when eating it so take caution and to bring lots of napkins and not to wear nice clothes. :) Other than that, I would come back here for another monster sandwich! read more

Went to Bite for the first time this evening around 8pm, we live two blocks from the place. There were no other customers, It took them about 3 min before we were acknowledged. When we were acknowledged the woman simply said " what do you want." We placed our order and when she was done with our transaction she was extremely rude. She slammed the reciept and pen down for us to sign and practically tossed our copy on the counter. Did not even say thank you and she walked away. It's a shame, the food was good but we will not return. read more

Delicious food great service refreshing to find such a small place that delivers outstanding service
