When I walked in, Chef Charlie's service was attentive and kind. I wanted only a sandwich but Charlie sold me on the BBQ. It smelled so good! I ordered a sandwich with Dutch Crust bread - this style of bread was the best I've had! My goodness the crust of it - mixed with a slight sweetness was Muah to my tastebuds! Then I'm driving to get on the Bay Bridge heading to the East Bay and the BBQ chicken was smelling sooooo good - I opened my to go container and went for my first bite. I smiled and couldn't believe what was taking place!! My Dad, may he Rest In Peace was from Kansas City Mo! Home of the best BBQ! I never thought I'd taste any flavor or texture of BBQ chicken like my Diamond Dad's ever again!!!!! But today, I did! Charlie's reminded me of "Steve's" and this happened one day after his death 19 years ago! Such a special dining experience that I cherish and thank wholeheartedly Charlie for! ‼ read more

I enjoy the sandwiches here. The killas que is currently my fave! Just had it the horseradish pairs well with the bbq sweet sauce . Love how it clears my nasals and is the right type of sauce. Deli man is super amiable and helps get my sandwich need filled. There's is a couple seats inside around a table which I used to dine in. Lots of chip variety and also Gatorade to rehydrate. I can't wait to come back and try the other sandwiches. read more

Deli Man - Killed Killas Que Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

I live around the corner from this place, and I decided to finally give it a shot: whomp. Paid ~ $15 + tip for a pastrami sandwich that was the size of store bought sandwich bread. When I called in the order, the guy on the other end said they only had wheat, and they literally had sliced wheat bread. I assumed it would be at least a wheat roll, which is something he should have elaborated on as a sandwich maker imo. I would say the sandwich was worth $8, at most. There was nothing remarkable about it. Pastrami was fresh, sauerkraut was alright, Swiss cheese was undetectable. Making a PB&J at home would have been better, seriously. Service wise... it was kinda grimy. The guy at the register put his cigarette butt into an empty bottle while I paid. Like, right in front of me. Ew. Both of them barely greeted me when I entered, and it just felt like the hustle was completely gone from this business. They looked inconvenienced to have a customer lol Roxie's is also very close, but I rather drive to Sub Center in West Portal if I want a sandwich that is delicious and worth paying $14+. Disappointed. read more

I asked what do you recommend. I don't know the name but attached a photo The sandwich consist of a bbq pork with I believe cheddar cheese and veggies like pickled jalapeños and pickles. It is a messy sandwich as it has a lot of sauce so maybe not best for travel or car. Definitely an eat now meal. The meat was cut thin and was very tender to eat I enjoyed that I didn't have to chew a lot. Taste was sweet, tangy and spicy They have a lot of other options if your feeling more basic or want to try something new The service is always kind and friendly :) Also lots of snacks and drinks read more

Incredibly delicious sandwiches and great customer service. We were able to try a variety of their sandwiches, and what sets them apart from the "fast food" sandwich franchises is the quality of the ingredients that they use. All of their meats, including their turkey and roast beef and pastrami, are all tremendously delicious and not overly salty. Their breads have the perfect bite, and their produce are really fresh. Finally, the people making the sandwiches are very nice and personable. We will definitely visit again the next time we're in the area. read more

Deli Man - Deliman on a rainy day - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

Surprised in a bad way. After being isolated due to Covid, it's been very difficult to concoct an appetite. I've been a huge fan of Ike's sandwiches with their generous portions and after reading absolutely rave reviews about this place on yelp, I decided to order via doordash. I ordered a "create your own" sandwich. I tried to replicate it to my order as close to my Ike's sandwich as I could from memory. My expectations weren't very high but unfortunately the sandwich I ordered can be equal to the climate of our economy, it felt like a shortage of everything in my sandwich (except for the bread which wasn't that good :( ) The ($16) sandwich i got was almost entirely bread! A generous and nice estimate would be me saying it had a distribution of 66% bread to 33% filling. And with that being said, I could barely taste anything but the bread which unfortunately wasn't even that appetizing. If you're hungry and have a go-to sandwich spot, I'd say it may be a safer bet going with your go-to. This place unfortunately didn't deliver this time, but maybe a different time. read more

I'm new to this shop and I only have good things to say the workers were amazing and friendly with all customers and also remembered repeated customers orders. I ordered a turkey, bacon, avocado sandwich with 2 bags of chips and 2 sodas for only $23!! Amazing price, amazing people and amazing sandwiches read more

Deliman grills chicken to tender smoky perfection. Shout out to Charlie and his crew, Louis on the grill and Juan who makes sandwiches. You can also get the most outstanding flavorful lamb kabob I ever had. However Louis is only grilling on weekends. And the lamb is an infrequent addition on Saturdays. Deliman has great sandwiches during the week as well. Check him out on 200 Ocean Ave not far from Balboa Park BART. read more

The sandwiches here are so good! We came here on a Sunday and it wasn't too packed but there was only one worker :( he was taking orders, making the sandwiches and milkshakes, and ringing people up. I had the milk man which was like a meatball sub but with no marinara. My boyfriend got the contractor and it was spicy. Definitely coming back here! read more

The best sandwiches! And a lovely man who runs it. It just feels very local and friendly.

Amazing! It's been a long time where I have been to a place where they treat you like family. The owner, Charlie is really friendly and attentive to our requests. Located on Ocean Ave. nearby Balboa High School and James Denman Middle school. I wish we had this back in the day when I use to go to school there. Perfect location also same corner where the 29 stops and near BART. Street parking only. They accept credit cards too. Sandwich prices are fair.They don't just have sandwiches, they have all the snacks in the world! (See pictures) So many selections to choose from. I ordered Abe's Screamer and The Cave, both very good. Of course you can also make your own sandwich it doesn't have to be from the menu. They serve Peet's coffee and MITCHELL'S ICE CREAM! Only the best! Definitely will keep coming back because of the great quality of sandwiches and customer service. read more

Ordered delivery through doordash.. took a little under 30 mins from ordering to delivery which is great! Ordered 2 sandwiches, Charlie hustle and byo. I ordered build your own on Dutch with everroast chicken, Swiss, lettuce, onions,mayo and mustard. I did not order them toasted since we weren't going to eat them right away and was afraid the bread will get soggy. Both sandwiches were delicious! The dutch crunch did not have the crunch but it was super soft and still soft the next day (was not able to finish the whole thing). The veggies were fresh and I loved that the chicken was deli sliced instead of thick cuts. Simple sandwich but packed alot of flavor. Will definitely order again whenever we're craving for a sandwich and that's pretty often! Lol. And thanks for staying open and having your regular hours during this sip! You're appreciated! read more

I ordered for delivery through grubhub, so I can't attest to any safety measures. Overall, the food was alright, nothing offensively bad but nothing great either. I got the breakfast sandwich with veggies, eggs, and cheese on a croissant. The croissant was fine, maybe a tiny bit dry; the eggs were a little gray but tasted fine; not a lot of veggies but there was a lot of flavor from the sauces (it's definitely on the spicy side). I also got some glazed donuts. These were alright as well but definitely not my favorite. They were on the dense/bready side which I don't really like in my donuts; almost reminds me of grocery store bought donuts. read more

Unreal service and fantastic sandwiches. We ordered sandwich trays / catering for a party from Deli Man. They were easy to work with, had everything ready on time with extras we hadn't imagined and their sandwiches are out of this world good. The food was a HUGE HIT at our party thanks to Deli Man! 10/10 would recommend and will order from again. read more

I wonder why this place got good ratings. I just had the worst sandwich ever. It was toasted but only the bread was overly burnt and crunchy on the outside, not in a good way. The inside was super cold, tasted like frozen lettuce. I don't like to leave bad reviews, maybe their bbq is good or something. The guy offered us money back. People are nice there, we just didn't enjoy the sandwich. read more

I was in town for business and staying in an airBnB close by...noticed this little deli on my morning run and later that day stopped by for a quick lunch break. Take me flavor town! Sandwiches are fire good and service is DISNEY level friendly! Who knew such a tiny spot could pack so much heat! read more

Love love this new deli. Other delis in the area may be more well known but this place is great. My Dads a retired sourdough bread baker so I'm super picky about my bread and this place is the fresh ticket!! Meat is plentiful and cut thin like I like it. Sandwiches start at 9.99 and that's a bargain in sf. Sandwiches are big enough to share and he has something for everyone's liking or make your own. Open from 6am to 6pm. They also have Mitchell's milkshakes ,breakfast sandwiches coffee and hot dogs for cheap. The owner Charlie is old school sf friendly. Don't walk run to this neighborhood treasure that I hope will thrive and be around for many years to come!!!! Go Denman Middle School!!! read more

The Deli man is the perfect place to go to when you need a quick bite to eat. Each sandwich is handcrafted by the Deli Man himself and he really does pay attention to detail, making sure you leave satisfied. I only ate here for breakfast so I can't speak for the lunch menu but their breakfast sandwich is awesome. Basic ingredients with a chipotle sauce that adds a great kick. Did I mention it's only $5.99?? Go see The Deli Man! He's a San Fran legend. read more

I'm so glad that a friend of mine suggested we grab a quick bite at this sandwich shop by her place. It'a a small business with a hole in the wall feel, and it's owned and ran by this really friendly guy who makes the best sandwiches! I didn't get his name but it's his face on the menu which I also thought was super cool lol. Anyway, I was blown away by the breakfast sandwich I ordered. The croissant was perfectly toasted, and it was a HUGE sandwich. Something different was he added chipotle mayo sauce to the sandwich which only made it better. I usually take bart every day and go to balboa park station, now that I know this place is only a few blocks away, I'm only excited to go back! I love breakfast sandwiches and this one really hit the spot. :-) read more

Stopped here when we saw Louie BBQing outside. And are we glad we did!!! The BBQ chicken was the best ever! The team of Louie and Charlie (Deli Man owner) is worth the stop because they are SOOOO NICE!! Hurry to this gem of a place!!! They also sell Mitchell's Ice Cream!! BONUS!!! read more

I've been to a lot of sandwich shops in the city and this little neighborhood shop surprised me that it could hang with the best. I ordered the Charlie's Hustle, and it was perfectly toasted and the protein and veggie ingredients were balanced. The Dutch Crunch was better than I am used to at other shops - it actually had a crunch to it - and internally a nice doughy chew. The sauces here seem like they are homemade. You could easily walk by or dismiss this place, with uninspiring interior and inventory boxes everywhere. But the sandwich is pretty darn good! I will go back. read more

Such a great value for amazing food p.s. great pesto spread!! read more

Roxie is legendary but expensive. Deli Man is new but cheaper. However Deli Man has milkshakes while Roxie doesn't and the sandwiches aren't as greasy. But enough about comparing two different places. Deli Man has nice people that work there that treat you like family or friends which of course shows the employees are treated well. The sandwiches of course are also great and I love that I can get a milkshake with my sandwich. It is more saturated fat with a sandwich that probably has meat and/or cheese but again, a freaking milkshake with a sandwich! If you're on the way down Ocean Ave, check it out. read more

Great service. They were grilling up some chicken outside, so check and see what's fresh. It won't be disappointed

Great neighborhood spot! We had a big lunch meeting in the neighborhood and I stopped by to see if "Charlie the Deli Man" could accommodate.

Service was great, food was tasty and we will definitely be back again and again. Support this shop, we need to keep these kind of places in our neighborhood! read more

Ordered bagels and some pastries through Grubhub and I get an email AFTER the delivery driver was on their way that they removed the bagels. So I call deli man and they admit it's because they forgot to take that off the app as sold out. I only added the other pastries to meet the delivery minimum so that means I wasted all this money on the Grubhub fees etc because of their incompetence.... read more
