So Cortina's is 5 minutes from my office, but I've probably gone there 4 times. The food is delicious. The outdoor patio is nice. The service is attentive and efficient. The only problem is...it's always packed!!! And they're open only for a few hours a day. Today I decided to do takeout. I ordered and paid online from the restaurant and I got a text with the time my order was going to be ready. I parked in their private lot and found my order ready to go on a shelf to the right of the front door. The cashier came out from behind the counter (without me even asking) to get me the bag of jalapeño chips that I ordered (which was very nice since the place was packed and the chips were on the far wall). The sandwiches are huge! I got a 6" tuna and my husband got the 10" Cortina's Special. Both were loaded! I had to eat mine open faced and I could only eat half! Unfortunately, the whole wheat roll was delicious, but the tuna was a little too much on the sweet side (I have a similar complaint with the tuna at Board & Brew). If you're in the mood for a good tuna salad sandwich, I suggest Jersey Mikes. If you're in the mood for any other kind of sandwich and don't mind waiting, go to Cortina's!

Been to this location twice now, and it's been amazing every time! The food is made fresh to order, and my go-to sandwich is the "Cortina's Special" absolutely delicious. At $10, I think it's a decent price. The other sandwiches in the picture were also amazing! It's definitely a popular spot and can get busy, but thankfully they have plenty of parking available.

Went for a team luncheon. The staff were super friendly and helpful. The sandwich portions were great. The reason for my 3 stars is that I ordered a sandwich with no cheese, due to being allergic to cheese I specifically told them. However, they gave me a sandwich with cheese in it. The server who brought it out said that it was no cheese. They should have been more aware of that. They did remake my sandwich pretty quickly. Other than that, my remade sandwich was great!

This place doesn't need the shoutouts or advertisement - both locations are great, and do well without but I'm still going to leave a review because for 10+ yrs, we have been enjoying their food/sandwiches! I have to start with their cannolis: one of the best I've had! Crunchy, enough filling. I like both but my favorite is the chocolate one. You guys know how big and depending on what you get, how filled the sandwiches are! It doesn't matter which one you get, they are just the best!!! Even after their bread changed (about 6 yrs ago or so). Their salads are big! Their lasagna and spaghetti are okay/good - I guess I just prefer their sandwiches. The service can vary, it is a fast pace place, you walk in, order, pay and wait for your food! You will get a hi and most of the time, that's it...like I said, it's a very busy place! As far as the ambiance, music playing, outside seating, inside too but it's always packed, for the little hours they are open, always busy, busy! You now place orders online (vs over the phone like before), and you can even have them delivered through a third party.

I'm surprised I've never seen this place before, but it is in an industrial area. They are only open weekdays for lunch. I ordered the Cortina's special sandwich which is basically an Italian. I also had spaghetti and meatballs. I was surprised with the sandwich. Most places skimp and give you mostly bread. The sandwichis here are loaded and very good. The spaghetti and meatballs was also very good. The meatballs were moist. Some places they are dry. You also get garlic bread. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Sodas are from Stubborn, meats and cheeses are Boarshead. I feel you get your money's worth here. To bad they aren't open evenings and weekends.

Meatball

My mom found this place through a coworker who is a regular. She brought Cortina sandwiches for a department lunch one day and that's how the good news spread. Cortina's has become my favorite sandwich shop. My mom usually drops by there once a week to pick up lunch for the family. My step dad loves the roast beef dip, my brother go to is the philly cheesesteak and my mom's favorite is the Cortina Special. For me I've had the Fireball, pastrami, philly cheesesteak, Rocky Balboa, Meatball, Sausage and peppers, Cortina special all of them delicious but the Philly cheesesteak is my favorite. I have yet tried their pasta. Maybe someday I will. Overall service is good but they do get busy because of their limited business hours. Best bet is to place an order online through their app. Can't wait for my next experience.

Meatball & 10" Rocky Balboa Sandwich
Jason L.

Ambiance: only open til 3 so perfect lunch spot with an outdoor patio (mix of high tops and regular tables) Service: quick and easy after you order, they give you a number and they'll bring it out to you Food: delicious. We got the rocky balboa (pork and broccoli rabe) and meatball sandwich. The rocky balboa comes with Au jus and the bread soaked it up so well, still crunchy and juicy inside

10 inch 10" Rocky Balboa Sandwich soooooo good
Tim B.

Just like the Anaheim location (which I love), this place has amazing food and great service. Today he had a friend ordered the 10" Rocky Balboa and the cheesesteak sandwiches (We both take a half of each so we have some variety). As always, the Rocky Balboa is the champion (pun intended), you just can't beat the flavor. The cheesesteak was also excellent. Not only are the sandwich ingredients amazing, but the bread is just to die for. So good! I wore my Smiths band shirt today. Imagine while we're eating three Smith songs came on in the restaurant. Nice touch! This is one of my favorite places to eat in the OC and I highly recommend it.

Caprese Salad, 6" Caprese Sandwich and 6" Cortina's Special Sandwich! ‍
Desiree L.

I absolutely love Cortina's! They have one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. My favorite sandwich is the Cortina's special. They provide great and friendly service. There is plenty of seating at this location and it's always clean. I tried their salad caprese which was very fresh but I personally prefer their caprese sandwich which is also top notch. I recommend popping in whenever you get a chance.

6" Cortina's Special Sandwich
Madison C.

6 inch Cortina special 8/10 $10.99. A little on the drier end but such a filling sand which. The bread was nice and soft with a crispy outer shell. Generous meat and cheese portions that paired with the banana peppers. I wish they added a little bit more dressing. Went in around 12:30pm on a Thursday and they were super busy but they got our order out quick. Definitely worth the price for the amount u get, such a steal !

i ordered cannoli for our christmas eve family gathering and they were ready in no time. they ran out of chocolate but they replaced it The people are really nice. Surprisingly, not too busy on Christmas eve. My boss recommended this place for their canolis

Great sandwich. I order the pastrami's on their standard bread. It was really good. Bread was fresh. Meat was super tender. I compare any pastrami to Katz in NYC. That is top cream of the crop when it comes to pastrami. This was a solid sandwich. The place is quite small and it was hot outside. There were no tables available inside so outside we went. By the time we were done it was a bit too hot to eat outside.

Upon entering, you see the minimalistic menus of sandwiches and drinks. (There are also small paper menus available but the aesthetic is a treat!) it's a small spot, but it exudes personality and a homey vibe. It's like a pub setting you see in Shaun of the Dead but much more comfortable and low key. The servers were very friendly and attentive to our table. I tried the French Dip and the BLT. Both were delicious and packed with meat. One thing about Windsor Brown's is they DO NOT skimp on the meats! Huge points! I executed a beautiful cheese pull upon my first bite, but could not capture it on picture because I ate too fast! So you'll just have to take my word for it. My family also enjoyed their sandwiches. They tried the Devil Made Me Do It and another sandwich with ghost peppers. We all left with our bellies full and our spirits high! 5/5 WILL return next time I'm in town.

What made the stop even better was the service behind the bar. The employee taking our order and serving the sandwich was genuinely pleasant, attentive, and accommodating, offering great recommendations that made choosing easy and the experience even smoother. The sourdough was exactly how it should be: fresh, crisp, lightly toasted and sturdy enough to hold everything together. Inside, Calabrian deviled egg salad met a perfectly jammy egg, spicy mayo and peppers for a creamy, tangy kick with just the right amount of heat. Messy? A little. Worth it? Absolutely. This was a lip-smacking, reach-for-another-bite kind of sandwich. We didn't have time to dive into the beer selection, but there were plenty of tempting options. With its business-district location, this would be an easy stop after work for a cold brew and a seriously good sandwich. Quick stop. Great service. Killer sandwich. The Devil Made Me do it.

When we arrived at 11AM there was plenty of open seating and only one other person placing an order. But by the time we were leaving tho, the place was PACKED! Every table both inside and outside was occupied. I would have never imagined Board & Brew was THIS popular! Ordering was quick and easy and our orders came up pretty quickly. Both the cashier and person who bought us our food were friendly and efficient. My friend and I both ordered the Beef Dip sandwich. Somehow I've managed to go through life with never having tried horseradish, so I requested that it came on the side. Okay, well, I was NOT expecting the heat to go right up to my nose ~ phew!! Even so, it went really well with the beef dip. The roll itself was crunch yet fluffy in all the right places. As is, I would have preferred it to have more beef, but as a whole it was still pretty tasty. Perhaps next time I'll see about getting extra meat. So now I know why they've been around forever. The vibe is easy going, the service is on point, and the food is very good.

She checked whether they could accommodate a last-minute catering order and even consulted her manager.

The team rushed to prepare everything so I could pick it up and make it back to the retreat in time. They absolutely saved the day. The food was phenomenal, as always, but the service truly earned this review. Jordan and the team didn't cause the problem, yet they went above and beyond to help solve it.

We were headed toward REI to grab some outdoor chairs and decided to stop at GHOST Sando Shop in Huntington Beach. I've driven past this place plenty of times and never really knew what it was. It also happened to be one of the only places open in the shopping center that early, so we figured, why not? Man, we had no idea what we were missing. We ordered the Melrose for ourselves and a Club for our daughter. Marco took our order and was also the one making the sandwiches. A few minutes after we sat down, he actually walked over and asked me, "Are you sure you want the pepperoncini and tomato on the Club?" My first thought was basically, uhhh... yeah, of course I do! Then it clicked. The Club was for our daughter. Marco had remembered that from our conversation when we ordered and knew that a lot of kids probably aren't exactly excited about pepperoncini and tomatoes. Meanwhile, Dad over here completely forgot to ask for them off. That might seem like such a small thing, but THAT is customer service. Marco wasn't just taking an order, collecting payment, and moving on to the next customer. He was actually paying attention. He remembered who the sandwich was for and took the extra few seconds to come over and double check before making it. Good looking out, Marco. Seriously. And that wasn't the only interaction we had with him. Marco was incredibly friendly from the moment we walked in. He talked with us, answered questions, and even gave us suggestions on other sandwiches we should try the next time we come back. Nothing felt forced or scripted. It was just genuine conversation from someone who seemed to actually care whether we enjoyed our experience. There were only two guys working while we were there, yet everything was running smoothly. The restaurant was clean, the atmosphere was relaxed, the bright green interior gives the place its own personality, and there's plenty of seating inside along with a really nice outdoor patio area. And most importantly, the sandwiches were GOOD. The Melrose was a great first choice, and Melody enjoyed her Club, thankfully without Dad accidentally loading it up with pepperoncini. We also grabbed some Calypso lemonades, which went perfectly with everything. We originally stopped here simply because it was open and convenient. Now it's somewhere we'll intentionally come back to. There are thousands of places where you can buy a sandwich. What makes you remember a restaurant is usually the people behind the counter. Marco made us remember GHOST. Excellent food, clean restaurant, great atmosphere, and genuinely outstanding customer service.
