These people work hard to accommodate. They are delicious and affordable! They are the best !

I will say that it was difficult to find the store but glad I did! I got a half turkey + squaw sandwich. It had a great proportional amount of meat + lettuce. Sometimes you're just in need of a nice, simple, homemade sandwich and Butch's provided just that! Perfect for sunny summer days. Affordable & delicious! Plenty of shaded outdoor seating. read more

Butch's Grinders - Store front - Delis Near Me - Riverside, California

One of the top 3 best sandwich shops in riverside... The heath bar cookies are the best cookies I have ever had!

I loved it here. Nice atmosphere, good music, great sandwiches, and a yummy piece of cheesecake for dessert.

Second time here. First time it was great. This time not so much. I ordered a HOT ham and cheese and my boyfriend ordered a HOT roast beef. Both our sandwiches came out cold. Instead of of giving us sandwiches like we ordered the person claiming to be in charge called the person who took our order and asked him in front of us what we ordered. That should not have happened. I even offered to pay for another sandwich made correctly until I found out that my boyfriend's sandwich was made incorrectly. When I asked to speak to a manager the guy said that there wasn't one and that he was the closest thing to it even though he hadn't been working there for long. Poor excuse. He also said he was the closest thing to a manager there because no one wants to work on Sundays so he's the only one. read more

Butch's Grinders - Not HOT ham and cheese - Delis Near Me - Riverside, California

Best grinders in Riverside, hands down the sides here are also super good . Make sure to get a slice of cake to go .

Very cool little location near downtown Riverside with some awesome outside seating covered for sun and rain protection. Grinder sandwich was OK, nothing spectacular, I think Jersey Mike's is actually better. 8 inch medium sub and a drink was nine dollars. Really hard to tell if this place is open or closed when you drive by. They could really use a neon open sign. They're probably losing business this way read more

Sandwiches are great. I like the squaw bread. I enjoy their macaroni salad too. Places gets busy during lunch hour.

This place has been around for sometime because they are excellent at what they do. They have a good variety of grinders, sides (including homemade salads), and drinks (both fountain and bottled). The dining room was smaller, but we went a bit later in the afternoon and didn't have to wait very long. I would definitely recommend going to Butch's for a great tasting, freshly made grinder. read more

Such a great spot! Friendly service, and really yummy food! So happy we found this little gem of a sandwich spot!

First timer here and I always drive by this place. It's a Sunday afternoon so I said what the heck I'll check it out today. Glad I did, it was very tasty. The hot meatball and cheese sub was a good size I got the large. Decent pricing too. When I walked in the aroma was crazy I smelled all the goodness right away and couldn't wait to get home. The cheese pull factor in this sub is nice also. All around a good experience I will be back to check out the other items. read more

Butch's Grinders - Hot Meatball and cheese sub YUM - Delis Near Me - Riverside, California

Hadn't been here in years. Glad it is still here. A real deli sub! Love the smell and sound of the deli slicer/onions making your eyes water as you enter! read more

Customer service STINKS. Butchs Grinder has always had exceptional, taste and quality. It's great for an office party or just a quick lunch break. However, on my recent visit the service was sub par. The woman at the counter was so unhappy and difficult to deal with. I am literally giving you money for an overpriced (but tasty) sand-which. The least you can do is smile and treat your customers with respect and sincerity. If being rude and not wanting to deal with people is your thing, stay in the back. I wish delivery service was available so one wouldn't have to deal with the F grade customer service. read more

I love the food but there is always this one lady who ruins it for me. She is condescending, treats everyone like they're bothering her, just all around insufferable. Its mind blowing how one person can ruin such a treasure of a spot. read more

Probably one of the best Pastrami sandwiches I've ever had! It was massive and every bite was better than the last. Not only was it delicious, it was also reasonably priced! The older woman who took my order was friendly and treated me as if I've been coming for years. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Butch's Grinders - Hot Pastrami sandwich with avocado next to an Arizona tall can. It's massive! - Delis Near Me - Riverside, California

Delicious sandwiches, great customer service, little deli shop ambiance, I like stopping by during lunch

Are really good and your potato salad is great. Customer service excellent. We will definitely be going back. read more

The Ultimate Italian with gabagool, mortadella, and Genoa salame is the best sub I ever ate anywhere.

Love the hot pastrami. That's all l gotta say. I will defintely go back. They also have more choices which l will try the next time.

Absolute Hidden Gem of Riverside I was craving a sandwich but tired of the usual shops around my work and decided to call in an order best decision of the week so far! I had a chipotle mayo turkey with bacon grinder and I wish I had one again right now. read more

OMG!! So good Service was impeccable and so nice for my 1st visit will be coming back read more

Butch's Grinders - Italian with bacon and avocado. The big one - Delis Near Me - Riverside, California

The food was good but the line was 45 minutes long. Owner was so mean and rude to her staff and she cussed in front of customers. She will always get business because food is good and the history of faithful locals but she truly needs to be humbled. Customers should speak up because staff are too afraid. I don't care how amazing these sandwiches are, customer service matters and how you treat your employees is huge to me. You can't get away with behavior like hers just because the community accepts it over the years. Wake up call lady! read more

Today I went away from the norm(turkey avocado on squaw) and ordered the egg salad on the best squaw around... let me tell you- it did not disappoint! A man in line told me he has been coming since 2007 and that is his go to so i went with it and I'm sure glad I did. Not too mushy, not at all dry. I like mine plain so I just had it with tomato but it comes loaded. Hiked up to Mt. Rubidoux and we ate our sandwiches at the top. It was such a good call! Love me so Butch's Grinders. read more

Butch's Grinders - Perfect egg salad sandwich to take on my climb to Mt. Rubidoux. - Delis Near Me - Riverside, California

Stop by recently on a Thursday and they said no manager on Thursday when I asked to speak to her? I placed my order 10 minutes before I arrived and I stood in line and when I gave my name they said,"They're working on it now "LIARS!" They made it when I arrived and stood in line wtf? People that were in line before and after me received there orders before me??? Apparently they don't take phone orders and when I got my food 20 minutes after I stood in line. No sorry not a shred of pride? I've been going to butch's for at least 30 years (San Bernardino back in 1980s) the service has been declining all new and different workers a lot, can't keep them happy? read more

This place is normally excellent, especially their butchies steak, but the past few times I have been in it has been awful. I called to let them know about my unhappiness, and I was told that they had the meat frozen and were quickly trying to unfreeze it, and that's why the sandwich wasn't up to par. They made excuses and didn't want to do anything about it. It's usually a great sandwich, but they seemed desperate to sell sandwiches instead of making it properly. We don't live around here and go out of our way to come and get a sandwich, but it doesn't look like we will be doing that any longer since these sandwiches aren't cheap, either. I'm very disappointed. read more

Your basic mom and pop sandwich shop. I stop through when I am hungry and close by, but I wouldn't call Butch's a must do once in your life destination. Simple old fashioned sandwiches, made to order to your specs. Good bread, pre-shredded lettuce, decent quality meats. The 8" is fine for moderate appetites. I got their take on pastrami recently, and while they offered to make it with pickles and mustard, I tried the house version. Merely my preference mind you, but I should have ordered what I wanted. My mother's tuna salad was interesting as they used the same shredded lettuce. However, I ate the leftovers and it was simple but very good. Why only 3 stars? Because the menu is a bit limited, and I think there are better options for sandwiches in town (not Delia's). I would go back sometime, but I don't crave anything there. read more

got the roast beef hot sandwich. it was okay. the bread was tasty, fresh and soft. wished it had more meat. The lady's attitude at the front taking orders was a little too much for us to handle. it's our first time trying out this place, of course we are not familiar of the menu. she expected us to know how to order, not in a friendly manner. my friend showed her a photo of a sandwich based off on Yelp, she dismissed her and said that's just a photo honey, i don't know what that is. and my other friend was a little confused on the things that came in the sandwich, she was loud repeating her question as to what exactly she wants, almost embarrassing to other patrons. seems like the other people waiting in line are familiar with the menu and ordering for them was a breeze. that being said.. we are not coming back. read more

What can you say bad about Butches? Nothing. They are busy but efficient. My sammie is always made right. I usually call ahead with my order. I love the bread. My fav is Genoa salami and capocolla. They have indoor seating and nice covered outside tables too. This is my favorite grinder shop...for years. read more

Don't say you are open until 7pm on Sunday's and then turn away 3 separate customers who came at 5:45. Very unfortunate that many of us are trying to support local, but if local isn't consistent, don't plan on your customers to be consistent! read more

Rude guys took my wife's order .. kept calling her Kiki. And said her order didn't make sense . Wow how a mother gets treated on Mother's Day read more

Sandwiches are excellent and well priced. Try their pastrami on a roll with mustard and pickles.

Very tasty sandwich ! Must get there before noon due to long lines! You can call ahead and do a phone order. They bake homemade cookies fresh every morning that are great . Service is usually pretty decent can have a bit of a wait at times . Place is small recommend if nice dat eat outside . I would and still go back! read more

I've come here a few times I usually get the corned beef with swiss combo. It leaves a lot to be desired the meat isn't top quality but it's good enough and they don't use much of it but it's okay when I don't want subway. Went in to grab a couple sandwiches but realized their power was out due to the riverbed fire. Was assured the meat and cheeses were edible but it was NOT it stinks like bad red meat and the cheese is soft..gross. They didn't even add condiments like mustard?? I asked for just the sandwich this time and was charged $1.50 for cheese...So just the sandwich cost $10.25 instead of the $8.75 for the combo. You would think they would've advised a returning customer but instead they kept it to themselves and come off as dishonest.. What a rip off! read more

My husband and I had heard about this place for a while. Well, we went for lunch and ordered sandwiches, sides and drinks. We were disappointed, it was ok, but nothing to rave about. Would not be returning anytime soon. read more

Little expensive but food is great. Chicken enchilada soup and Butch's Italian sandwich are both great

Love this small grinder shop. My favorite is the ultimate Italian sub loaded with meats and cheese lettuce tomatoes and onions. Staff is always friendly and ready to serve. I prefer coming here anytime over the large chain sub shops. Give them a try. read more

I've been coming here for years. Turkey on squaw with avocado and bacon, a bag of chips and a drink. I don't think I've ever had a sandwich I didn't finish from here. Riverside classic. read more

Found this place on yelp. From out of town. Looks like a dive, old gas station turned into a sandwich joint. Just a place I love. Ordered a ham & turkey grinder with tomato, pickles & lettuce. Loved the sandwich but was disappointed with the lack of meat, tomatoes & pickles. Great bread but hook us up with the extras with the price of the sandwich. read more

This place cleared out its inside seating (maybe because of COVID ) but expanded their outside seating, and with the homeless might be way more unsanitary! made me feel stupid for 86ing mortadella. Sandwich was excellent , service, atmosphere and sanitary dining options questionable read more

First time here had the Buttchies steak on a French roll It was So Good...plus the potato Salad is very good..."VERY".... NOT FROM HERE BUT ITS WHERE ILL GO TO WHEN I AM... read more
