    Pastrami
    May Z.

    Sandwiches were stacked, service was lovely, shop had seating available. I'd definitely return. I really liked my pastrami! They offer fun sauce flavors like pesto or chipotle mayo!

    Great spot for an easy lunch on the way to the beach! Their logo is so cute and interior features their mascot: the dog Chunk. Service is super friendly and kind as a family business. They've got some great pre-built options for both toasty or cold sandwiches. I would highlight their Beach Box combo: 2 sandwiches, 2 chips, and 2 drinks for $36 total. I opted to create my own sandwich for a simple turkey, avocado, and veggie build on a delicious sourdough bread. They've got a homemade garlic mayo which really took the sandwich over the top. My friend had their pesto mayo-- also a huge hit! Sandwiches are a bit pricey, mine coming out to $18.48 with tax+tip (incl. +$2 for avocado). However, they definitely taste very homemade and fresh. Absolutely bookmarking this spot for future trips down the coast.

    We were very pleased with our decision to try out Chunk's. The space is clean with both indoor and outdoor seating, which made the visit feel comfortable and relaxed. Our sandwiches were served warm and were clearly well made. The staff was very friendly and added to the overall positive experience. We'll definitely be back.

    Philly and I added banana peppers and American cheese

    FOR THE LOVE OF SANDWHICHES! 10 out of 10. This place is off the hook good. Best Philly I have ever had. I added American cheese and banana peppers. These are specialty craft Sammie's made with love. Best place in Sc County

    Pezzi (Italian)
    Alison J.

    I'm always on the lookout for a sandwich with a good bread-to-filling ratio. The Pezzi is a great and filling sandwich. I like mortadella but have to be careful to ask whether it contains pistachios (I'm allergic to nuts). This mortadella was nut-free and delicious. Lots of veggies too! I'll be back.

    Toasted Pastrami and Swiss with banana peppers
    Paulina D.

    Had a hankering for banana peppers in a sandwich. I decided on the pastrami with the melted Swiss and added banana peppers. The roll got a little soggy on the bottom. But the pastrami was stellar: tender and juicy. I thought it was really good. Also got the burger and added bacon. It came with fries that were perfectly crisp on the outside. We sat outside on the patio with our dog. Sandwiches took about the time that we went through the local newspaper and read all the menus for restaurant week. The service was great. Kind people working here.

    I rarely give a place 5 stars but this place is awesome and everyone has to try it. Chicken pineapple ham sandwich sounds strange but it's amazing. Pastrami is the best. Clamchowder is also a must.

    Cheeseburger
    Aswad K.

    Looked like family owned place. Very welcoming environment. All the dishes we ordered were freshly made. Philly cheesesteak had good amount of meat and fresh green peppers. Bread of all sandwiches was freshly made and crunchy on the top and soft inside. Meatball sandwich had hot meatballs and we were informed that they are trying a new marinara recipe. Personally would like more garlic and herbs but that's a personal choice. Our little one loved the burger- well seasoned, fresh tomatoes, onion, pickles and lettuce. Fries had good portion, crispy and well seasoned. All in all would love to support a local, family owned business.

    Toasted Pastrami and Swiss

    Toasted Pastrami and Swiss was so good. You know when the food is so good, you get quiet and just focus on eating? That's what happened. I like how they have a beach box combo which includes two sandwiches, two chips, and two sodas. Worth it! Staff is friendly too and the decor is cool inside.

    K J.

    I finally ventured from my usual order (the delicious Drayton) and tried the Philly Cheesesteak. Omg a new favorite! The meat was tender, perfect amount of grilled peppers and onions on a soft and yet crispy edged bread. Service was great and I had a lovely lunch outside sitting in the warm winter sunlight. Thank you Chunk's! And your posted sign makes me love you even more. Thanks for supporting everyone in our community during these challenging times.

    Philly Cheesesteak with requested added Jalepenos and Mayo  Side: Cheese fries
    Mae B.

    Me and my fiancé came here after I just moved to Santa Cruz from the east bay and have been craving a true homemade old school Philly cheesesteak like the ones back home. THIS PLACE DID NOT DISAPPOINT! Also, try and catch Susan when she is working, she is just a sweetheart and made great recommendations of the menu . Hopefully next time we get to meet Chunk!

    Delicious!!!
    Laura C.

    I did a build your own (Chunk Factory) veggie sandwich and omg tastes like homemade sammy! Super fresh ingredients, warm crispy bread, just dreamy. Very cozy place, I also relish in the notion the place is named after the owner's dog :).

I had the spicy Devil's Ginger vodka martini with the calamari appetizer and with dinner, the Lava Top Sauvignon Blanc ($13), a perfect complement to the swordfish. My swordfish was perfectly sautéed in a tapenade beurre blanc sauce ($40) with deliciously creamy and decadent polenta and buttery chopped bok choy. The way they served the bok choy was perfect- never change it. It was artsy, buttery and didn't look wilted. My son had the grilled boneless pork chops (two boneless chops) with fries and smoky beans ($28), loved. He devoured the berry fruit crisp à la mode for dessert ($12) and I had two small bites: It was like granola over compote with ice cream. I didn't complain. The best part was the incredibly flawless service. We could have felt rushed dining since it was towards the end of service. Instead, Genevieve paced the meal perfectly so we felt spoiled and unrushed. Next visit I would love to dine in their "secret garden" courtyard; it was beautiful.

Finally it came into my head when my in-laws asked me where I'd like to go for dinner for my birthday! It's a small quaint indoor restaurant but outdoors has a large patio with seating too! We were sat at the round table which was quiet and intimate. Everything we tried was fantastic, the starters we had were the foccacia. It wasn't warmed which I would've preferred but it was still fluffy and tasty and served with sea lettuce butter which definitely had a hint of garlic, which always makes things better ;). Who doesn't love garlic?! The other starter we tried was the asparagus, loved it! Would totally order again! The portions were perfect for sharing for 4 of us as well. My entree I ordered the beef check gnocchi, they make their pasta in house and this was so rich and freaking tasty! Absolutely similar to a short rib. 10/10 recommend!! My husband ordered the CA strip loin, cooked perfect medium served with a garlic aioli and crispy potatoes. I got to try his and his was equally fantastic! My mother in law ordered the rock cod crudo and she shared with me as well, the chili oil really came out in flavor in the dish, it was plated beautifully as well. I think this would be a great shared appetizer for groups too. Father in law got the fried chicken, and WOW - an entire HALF chicken! So large, local chicken, fresh and flavorful. Desserts we had the pistachio pana cotta and olive oil cake, the panna cotta was FANTASTIC. You should absolutely order this if you have room!

(I have, no joke, walked by it dozens of times without realizing it!) I found it from seeing it on a list of restaurant participants for Burger Week. Overall, I give Pete's 3.5 stars, and here's why... **Ambiance: 5 stars** With the bright and tastefully-decorated dining room along with the multiple windows overlooking the spectacular beach, you really can't beat this ambiance! Pete's has the fine-dining vibe that's perfect for that first date, anniversary or other special dining occasion when you want some quiet and mood lighting. **Service: 4 stars** We were seated right away, even without reservations. It was a Sunday, and there was no wait or crowd. Service was quick and friendly. Mid-dinner, a server broke some glassware right behind my seat and needed us to move so they could sweep under our table and feet. They ended up moving us to a better table (next to the window) instead of having us stand there to watch them sweep. Accidents happen, and I felt they handled that well. **Food: 3 stars** Every item we ordered was delicious and fresh, and all arrived quickly. However, the menu was fairly compact, and the amount of food is even more compact. I was excited Pete's had lobster rolls (one of my all-time favorite food items EVER; $28) on their menu, so I didn't hesitate to order that along with a lychee martini. My partner ordered the bolognese ($30) and an old fashioned. We ordered the polenta as an appetizer. All of it was tasty, but oh-so-small. The cheddar polenta was like a taste test size (maybe 4 TBs), and the lobster roll was the smallest I had ever seen in my life. I didn't want to be rude, but I wanted to laugh when it arrived at our table! The lobster roll was smaller than my hand. It looked like circus food with all super tiny sizes. **Price/Value: 2 stars** You don't come to Pete's for the value because the portions are.... micro. TIP: If you have a big appetite or skipped a meal that day, I suggest going elsewhere or be ready to turn over a paycheck because you'll need to order a lot to fill up. It is worth it, however, if you fancy a light-filled room with views of the sparkling ocean and sounds of the waves crashing on the golden sands of Capitola!

The menu is available online and they take same day orders via phone. Pickup was a little hectic as there were a lot of people in the bakery. I waited in line for a ticket and then waited for my number to be called, but found out that I could have just walked to the end of the bakery to pickup at the counter in the corner. I would probably add a sign to make it a little more obvious for those new to the bakery, nonetheless the pastries were amazing and nothing else matters. Everything was sweet but balanced with acidity or nuttiness. Great mix of textures and the crust does not fall apart even after a whole day in the fridge and being manhandled into cut portions.
