This place is gold. We stumbled upon it looking for a good sandwhich spot and success! Both had turkey, bacon, cheese with pesto Mayo. Delicious! The inside is small with a few table, a few tables outside as well. A drink fridge and chip options. The service was wonderful. Very nice and accommodating. My site is terrible and the young lady at the register was very helpful. We will definitely be back! read more

Came here the other day after a long work day and hadn't eaten since breakfast. Was sooo hungry and I was near Chunk's. I had a pastrami sandwich there once before and it was pretty good, so figured this would do. Ordered the burger combo with Lentil soup. Asked for my burger medium and when it came out it was well past that and I'm pretty sure it was a frozen patty. I have frozen patties I cook at home that are great, so guessing it just wasn't very good quality to begin with. The lentil soup was flavorless and I only had a few bites before tossing out. Seasoning, a ham hock, and some aromatics would do a lot for this soup. Left feeling very disappointed as there are a bunch of more satisfying options in the area and I chose the wrong one. As I was sitting in traffic, my stomach started feeling like I ate some broken glass or something. Obviously there wasn't broken glass in the burger, just a fitting analogy. I had stomach pains for the next few hours. This is all I had eaten in like 10 hours, so I'm positive it was the burger. The woman at the counter was friendly and the place was pretty clean. I've got a pretty iron gut and it takes a lot to make it turn. Don't think I will be going back. read more

Found this place on yelp. It was close to our next destination so we popped in for lunch. Friendly service. The photos of the celebrities in the wall are fun to look at. Philly cheesesteak: 5/5 excellent flavor steak and it wasn't all greasy! Highly recommend this one. The Higgins: 4/5 the garlic mayo added lots of flavor to the roast beef. Tuna: 3/5 a bit dry. I wish I added cheese or asked to make it a melt. The bread was nice and soft. read more

First off, that sandwich was the best thing I've had in a really long time. That might be recency bias but it is what it is. I had the Drayton which was a hot sandwich that had Chicken Ham & Pineapple. Not only was the chicken so tasty and the very flavorful... what stood out to me the most was how soft the bread was. Absolutely made a difference. This was my first time being here so shoutout to Ariana (hope I spelled it correctly) for the recommendation, it was delicious! She was very nice and inviting to me as a newcomer. Great service! read more

Absolutely fantastic sandwich spot! The sandwich was loaded with meat, fresh ingredients, and packed with flavor. You definitely get your money's worth with the generous portions. I'll be back on my next Santa Cruz trip. read more

Friendly staff and well-made sandwiches with fresh ingredients. Unfortunately my pastrami sandwich was a salt bomb. It also didn't have enough Swiss cheese. Could have used some spicy mustard. Was looking forward to a better sandwich. read more

I really wanted to like this place because the sandwiches looked amazing, but I'm not sure I can recommend it. The bread was by far the best part of the whole experience - delicious bread. But the pastrami was alright, the sandwich needed more acid & spice, and the chips were stale. It's not bad, if you're really wanting a sandwich, but I wouldn't go out of your way read more

We stopped at this place on the way to Monterey outside of Santa Cruz. Place was super busy for for a Monday. We ordered a pastrami Ruben and a cheese steak along with some garlic fries. All were very solid choices. The Ruben was served on a rye roll which was very unique. The restaurants namesake is for a dog named Chunk. Great little spot to check out if you're in the area. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Was really looking forward to trying this place. It was clean and staff were decent. Was disappointed that for some unknown reason that despite ordering two sandwiches before several groups of customers that everybody who came in well after us were served and our very simple to go order took 30 minutes. The grilled Rueben was salty and u remarkable and the turkey on pesto sandwich was salty and mushy. For 15 bucks a sandwich I expect better. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Thank you yelp. It was nearing 1pm and I was craving a salad with grilled chicken. I could go home and make one, but it's getting late and my stomach was feeling impatient. I searched lunch on yelp and got this result. I looked through the images and found the most loaded grilled chicken solid and I was sold. I popped on their website and ordered online. By the time I arrived my food was ready. This salad is reminiscent of the Greek drive-thrus in so cal. Iykyk. They have every variety of food on the menu and it is all good. My salad was prepared perfectly and got the hubby the house made falafel. This is a great addition to Cap and huge plus is it's easy to park at in the shopping center. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Came here after visiting The Mystery Spot and glad we did. Me and the family loved the whole concept of Chunk the dog. The workers were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious and you will definitely leave full! Me and the wife split a meatball and cheese steak sandwich. My son got the burger combo and my daughter got the pastrami swiss which she ate only half. The cheesey tots were a good choice to share between the 4 of us. All in all a great place and would definitely eat here again if I'm in the area! That's my review... read more

The Vee Dub!! I'm not eating deli meat right now due to being pregnant so I went with a safer veggie choice and was surprised at how good it was!! I've never had a falafel deli style sandwich but it just worked. The baguette bread was perfectly soft but toasted. The garlic mayo made it moist and they didn't skim on all the fixings. I'm pumped to come back postpartum to get a turkey sando. Might even make this my hospital meal request. My husband loved his pineapple chicken sandwich too. read more
