FDB has been serving San Bruno Ave for as long as I remember and it continues to be a community serving and affordable place to grab a bagel and coffee. Staff is super friendly and welcoming, so don't let the old construction turn you away! There's not many places like this left in SF, so I definitely visit when I'm in the area and need a quick bite read more

Food is great big portions.. exceeded expectations service wonderful courteous and fast .. and sandwhich was fire

I came shortly after 7am to grab some sandwiches to go. I got the California and the Al Capone. The order took about 15 minutes. We opted for the full sandwiched sizes. The bread was pretty thick and hard which made the sandwich ratios a bit off. Overall, not bad. read more

Food was tasty and filling . I ordered a sausage breakfast sandwich . The staff is welcoming and. Friendly . There are so many few places like this left In the city. It definitely has an old school feel to it . Very nostalgic . You won't regret it ! read more

You wouldn't think much of this place when you're walking by, but if you're in the mood for a morning coffee and breakfast sandwich , you definitely need to stop by. For starters, the workers (specifically the gentleman taking the orders and serving the coffee) are extremely nice and welcoming. Him and the lady were the only two working and they were hustling! Pretty steady foot traffic but not too long of a wait. I ordered a breakfast sandwich "off the menu" referencing a google review image and the guy was able to complete my order. Very affordable for what you get, very filling. I went home and added avocado and jalapeños and it was amazing. Definitely coming back to try out their other food options! read more

Very nice spot. The gentleman that greeted me and served me made me feel welcome here. The inside is clean and the breakfast burrito I got matched. The ingredients were well proportioned and prepared well (nothing over/under cooked, no egg shells, food was fresh and hot). Overall this is a place I hope stays around as I plan to return. read more

Fat Beli Deli is the real MVP with regards to being open early. They're one of the only restaurants that sales breakfast in this area that is open so early. I wish that their breakfast burritos had more vegetables in them, but for someone who likes meat and potatoes, they're burritos will probably be a hit for you. What I absolutely love about this deli is that they sale fresh juice. I always get a large tropical juice that comes with beets, celery, orange, carrot, etc. I always feel so healthy after I drink one. Please try their tropical juice and thank me later. Their customer service is great. The guy who works the register is super pleasant. The deli itself is kind of small with only a few places to eat, but overall has a local aesthetic to it. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a quick bite to eat. read more

Sometimes you get hit with an insatiable sandwich craving! I stopped by here for the first time and the menu is a bit formidable at first but the girl at the counter recommended the California (classic combo of turkey, Swiss, bacon, veggies, ranch) I got it toasted on Dutch crunch and it calmed down the craving successfully. The fillings were generous, service was fast and friendly, I recommend for a quick pit stop to fuel up! read more

Friendly and fast service, clean interior and restroom. Chai latte and americano were great.

Wonderful little cafe with a lot of breakfast and lunch options. The service was fast and there was plenty of seats. I had the mini breakfast burrito today as I was working in the area and needed some quick refueling and it hit the spot was super warm and fresh and great price of $6.95. plenty of seating, and lots of lunch drink options as well as specialty coffee. read more

Nice little cozy breakfast spot, best chai latte I've ever had. Super friendly service too

Stop by today for the Archie bunker and it was just ok. You can barely taste the sauce. And got only 3-4 slices of roast beef. Will be my first and only try here. read more

I've been on a sandwich binge lately. I've had some great sandwiches, but none had a proper dutch crunch roll until I had a sandwich from Fat Beli's. I did a build your own through Postmates, chicken salad with pesto (lots of toppings) on dutch crunch. Overall, the sandwich was excellent, very filling and fresh ingredients. The chicken salad was a little runny and messy due to excess sauce, but it was still great in flavor. The star of the show was the dutch crunch...oh my. This is what I call a proper dutch crunch, the right amount of crunch, chewy and sweet. The top crumb layer was perfect, it was beautifully cracked and sweet with a dense crunch. Talk about texture. Would definitely return, especially since they have one of the best dutch crunch rolls. Only a few sandwich places in SF has it and they are one of them. Undeniably good. read more

Craving a chipotle bowl but don't want to travel for one? Try fat beli deli's salad bowls. They're a bit pricy but they they do fill you up. The quality of the salads are always consistent. My favorite is the south of the border bowl. It's very delicious and I love the dressing that comes with it! I believe it's homemade. Been coming here since high school. I love this place! read more

The few times I've walked in for a mixed natural juice the service has always been quick and the people who work there always greet you with a smile and very kind hearted never rush you very patient!Sandwiches are reasonably priced and packed with enough meats and vegetables to put you in a semi food coma. So far I've ordered the Al Capone and Archie Bunker. As you can tell Yes, most definitely a meat eater lol! Both sandwiches were very satisfying! My go to spot for sandwiches, I'm quickly becoming a regular! read more

I would recommend fat belly belly to anybody I eat there every Wednesday it doesn't matter what I eat for example today it was scrambled egg sausage on a nice bagel and coffee but whatever I get it turns out to be very good and I would recommend it to read more

Fat Beli Deli is a local sandwich shop that is loved by the neighborhood. I should come here more often as their sandwiches are delicious. Just recently I placed a large online order of sandwiches for an event I was hosting and they did an excellent job making sure my order was correct. Bonus points for having it ready early as I placed it the night before. What's good here? The Al Capone is solid if you want salami, pastrami, and prosciutto. If you're looking for something healthier you can get the California which is a turkey avocado sandwich. I asked for their veggie sandwich to be made vegan and they had no problem with the special instructions. There's plenty of seating inside and there's a bar area with windows that swing open and allows you to people watch on a sunny day. read more

Holly molly...this place has expanded my nearby delivery options in the most awesome way. Aside from the salty experience of an app hiccup causing me to re-order and get two sandwiches, this place does such a good job of sandwich construction and overall taste. Every sandwich I have got from here has been totally satisfying in that the vinegars/sauces properly lube the sandos. Special mention: Al Capone, and anything with their dutch crunch. read more

Wow Fat Beli Deli delivered! I placed a large order for pickup and everything was correct and warm. First of all the 10" sandwich is enough to feed two people and the sandwiches are delicious! The sandwiches came on various types of rolls, which was a crowd pleaser: wheat, sourdough, sweet (french) and dutch crunch. They use Boar's Head deli meats, which are a great brand. I purchased an assortment of the Archie Bunker, Joe Pesci, California Club and Vegetarian. I personally had the California Club on a wheat roll and it was seriously delicious. The bacon was crisp, the avocado was thinly sliced and didn't fall off the sandwich, there was a great amount of meat and cheese on the sandwich and it was still warm by the time I was able to eat it. The vegetables all had great flavor, something you don't always get with deli tomatoes. The vegetarian in our group was pleasantly surprised by the pesto on the Vegetarian sandwich and said it was quite good. The prices are very competitive with local sandwich shops, as someone who places large orders on a weekly basis. I feel like I received a great sandwich for a great value. A nice touch is that they include mints with the sandwiches. Everything seemed Covid-19 compliant and they helped me to my car with the order. No indoor dining, but there are cafe tables outside. Pro-tip: If you call and order directly with Fat Beli they have a sandwich rewards program. This will definitely be a repeat for our worksite lunches. read more

Fat Beli Deli - sumo sandwich - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

Just when I thought I understood deli sandwiches... I got belly slammed by the Fat Beli Deli! The sandwiches here are hefty. Having been trained to get 'footlongs' by the emaciated offerings from Subway, we automatically ordered the 10" sandwiches and were stunned at the density, throughput and sheer satiation of these tubular feasts. I had a Meathead that was stuffed with delectable cold cuts and salad fresh vegetables--the heavy mustard was just like I would have specified if I built my own sandwich and the dutch crunch was crusty. I.barely.finished.my.10.inch.sandwich. We just hauled home the other half of my children's Fat Beli Cobb and California Sandwiches. Even my wife had leftovers from her Cobb Salad. Flavors were bold, bacon was lean, thick and snappy. My children kept moaning and exclaiming incredulously: "How? How can a sandwich taste so good?!!" I do not have an explanation, but fully intend to return to ponder the answer over more sandwiches. Be sure to get a loyalty card stamped with your orders. read more

Been here a few times for their bagels, sandwiches, coffee, and juices. Their food & beverages are decent and affordable making it a pleasant place to chill and study. However, their schedule on Yelp is extremely inaccurate. Upon entering the cafe at 2pm and after purchasing 2 drinks for my stay to use the WiFi for a short moment, and most likely purchase dinner if the stay is longer, and yet, they told me that they'll close in 30 minutes. Would have appreciated if they told me upfront so I could go about my business elsewhere. You'll probably get to enjoy their drinks and foods for 30 minutes before they start closing the shop on a chill day. read more

Friend: "Hey, it's Powerball tonight!" Me: "Too bad, I don't have cash on me." Friend: "Uhhh, what if the power goes out for 10 days, your credit cards linked to nothing!" Me: "Well, I always have you!" Friend: "Pfffft, I ain't your BF!" Me: "Thanks for pointing out the obvious." Friend: "Don't you watch The Walking Dead?....How would you survive all the zombies? I'm the one with all the weapons." Me: "Scream and hope you hear me?" Friend: "Gawd, you ARE a blonde!" Yep, I CAN always count on my guy friends to tell it as it is... Admittedly, I rarely carry cash with me but it's good to know that there's Fat Beli Deli to feed my phat belly with my slim piggy bank of coins. I grew up in Portola and it's one of the last neighborhoods in San Francisco to be gentrified (they have a Four Barrel now but I have yet to see any hipsters, techies, or yuppies in the area). That means low prices for the rest of us...for now. Fat Beli is a no-frills mom & pop café serving bagels, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, salads, soups, sandwiches, coffee and tea. I've heard great things about their sandwiches but I have yet to try any since parking in the area is difficult after 10 am. But I have tried their Breakfast Burritos twice and they're delicious! For $6.25, you get a long, semi-girthy burrito filled with fluffy scrambled eggs, juicy sausage, hash browns, goooey cheese, and sweet peppers, white onions, and green onions: http://bit.ly/1RtcZFl. It's filling, satisfying, and enough for two meals! They do microwave it after assembling the burrito (to melt the cheese) but for the price, I'm not going to complain. They also have a regular size breakfast burrito for $4.75 (?) which is cheap for San Francisco. It's comforting knowing that I can always scrounge up enough loose change to afford something at Fat Beli Deli...you know, in the case of an apocalypse and all. read more

Wow! The service was amazing, and everyone in the store was super nice. The food was ready in a decent amount of time, and it was DELICIOUS. My friend and I both got the veggie breakfast burritos which I would highly recommend. Five stars. Lovely environment. read more

TV Guide called him the greatest television character of all time. Back in the 70's with his non-politically correct views. I do agree with Archie Bunkers' thoughts on vegetarians. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5-XFdGl0Vc&feature=youtube_gdata_player Maybe if Adam ate a roast beef sandwich in the garden of Eden instead of the forbidden fruit, he wouldn't have got in trouble. There wasn't any forbidden Roast Beef sandwiches in the Garden of Eden. Men were meant to eat meat. Words of wisdom Archie.. As I looked around Fat Beli Deli, I liked the look of the eatery. Photos of Muhammad Ali, Cal Ripken, Bob Marley, Tim Lincecum, etc. Sports Memorabilia and Meat, I'm feeling manly already. No fruit salad for me today! Looking at the sandwich list, it was a debate in my head between the Al Capone or Archie Bunker. How could I not order the Archie Bunker? Archie Bunker: Roast Beef, cheddar cheese, grilled onions, garlic spread, lettuce, and tomato. I went with the 10' sandwich on Dutch Crunch. What is always important in a good sandwich, or burger for that matter is that fresh, good bread is used. Also important is the right amount of meat. Fat Beli passed both tests. A classic combo of ingredients worked well together. Fat Beli Deli is a very good deli. And don't forget as Archie said: "Vegetarianism ain't natural. Man was put on earth to eat meat. The Bible says so. Who ever heard of sacrificing a head of lettuce!" read more

Fat Beli Deli - Archie Bunker - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

I love this place. They have fed me 100s of bagels and coffees over the years. You have to try the jalapeño bagel with cream cheese and bacon. That bagel has the jalapeños baked into bread that is spicy and delicious. Coffee refills are free, and the staff is nice. Right off the 101 near Bayshore. They have lots of cool sports memorabilia on the walls, never gets old looking at Bay area legends. I recommend coffee and some breakfast food. read more

After passing by this place countless times and eating at other restaurants in the area, I have decided to dig in. I came in, looked through the menu and placed an order for the 5" hot pastrami sandwich on soft roll. The bread is freshly toasted and crispy, the crunchy texture is one thing I like about it. Also, the pastrami is flavorful, tender and juicy. Addition of provolone cheese and mustard gives the sandwich a boost in flavor. This is certainly one delicious sandwich and I am craving for another sandwich as I write this review. Overall, very good first experience here. Props to prompt service, good food and friendly staff team. I did take an extensive look at the items listed on the menu. Also, I saw some of the ingredients they have. Other items I'll certainly have to try will be the salad. They also have pastries and coffee available. Craving for a pastry along with a cup of coffee? Come on in! read more

Fat Beli Deli - Hot Pastrami Sandwich on Soft Roll - this is one delicious sandwich - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

There's nothing not to love about this place - the best ingredients, always fresh, and everything genuinely tastes like it's made with care. My personal faves are the tuna melt and veggie sandwich. So, so good! read more

Picked up two sandwiches here. Got the classic veggies and the Al Capone for $27. Surprisingly expensive! I've had hundreds of veggie sandwiches in my life and the one here is truly terrible. I have no idea how it happened but there is zero flavor!!!! I wonder if they even tried this combo before they put it on the menu. Thank god I added pepperocinis (25 cents extra) because it would be even more bland without them. The wheat bread is super dry and flavorless too and I think that's contributing to the tasteless sandwich. I remember coming here 8 years ago and loving their sandwiches so not sure what happened. read more

Not bad at all! I came here on a weekday to work on a final paper, while taking advantage of their wifi and food. It didn't disappoint! I had a hot pastrami on dutch crunch, which was just awesome. The sandwich was huge, and good for TWO meals. Their coffee wasn't the best, but since it's more of a deli shop I didn't expect awesome coffee. The space is very open and small, but comfortable. It doesn't try to overpack the space which is nice. Unfortunately, its not a great place to study. First, its so open that I get distracted by the people walking by. Second, they have limited plugs. Namely ONE plug. Next to their fridge space. Fail. My computer's battery life is non-existent. I was lucky to score that spot, but there's no guarantees. read more

I love this place. I eat here at least once a week and my family loves the sandwich options when they visit. Favorite Sandwiches: Sumo (Asian Chicken), BBQ Chicken, Hot pastrami and the "Babe" (Meatball w/pesto/garlic). Favorite Salads: Asian Ginger Chicken and the Fat Beli Cobb. read more

I was told about that place from the students at a high school I work at. I asked where could get a good coffee and something to brunch on while teaching them. Well they pointed to this place. When I walked in I was greeted by Tammy with a smile. I asked first if they had Almond Milk because I'm lactose intolerant. She smiled and said sure let me get that for you. I got a chance to pick from the 6 different flavors of coffee. I love the golden peach flavor. They also have different sugars you can use as well ( white sugar, brown sugar, Splenda etc..) Their food is ok. Both times I got a bagel is was pretty tough to chew. I had an almond croissant and it was delicious. This place has inside and outside sitting. And there is never a huge line when I come in! Would I come back...that's not a question that needs to be asked. I gave it 5 stars for a reason! read more

I don't write many sandwich reviews, but this sandwich shop is located in my neighborhood, and it's very good. Fat Beli Deli offers breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, salads, soup and a vast selection of sandwich options. Since I've been stopping by on my way to work and I don't work nearby, I usually have mine to eat in. There is counter top seating along the two windows and two small round tables that seat three apiece inside the restaurant. There are a couple of seats outside with a small table. The surfaces are rarely wiped down so if you're offended by drink residue or sandwich crumbs, take note and have your sandwich to go. I usually order a 10 inch as opposed to the 5 inch since it's only a difference of $1.30 for a lot more food. For $1.50 more you can add a fountain drink and your choice of a side salad, a cup of soup or a bag of chips. The sandwich is always filling enough so I just shell out $1.25 for a refillable fountain drink. When you order you are given many options such as type of roll or bread, served hot or cold, type of cheese, etc... The meat is piled on high and the veggies are nice and crisp. They do use shredded lettuce as opposed to lettuce leaves so some sandwiches tend to be messier than others. There is a sandwich card program where your 11th sandwich is free. They are open Monday through Friday from 7 AM until 3 PM. Here is what I've had this week: California (http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/uX5kkFMY728jXV06-w9XhA/l) - I had it served cold on a soft roll without onions. Had to meet with a client afterward! It's lots of deli turkey, Swiss cheese, bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato and ranch dressing. The bacon was a bit on the soft side, but it was delicious. Archie Bunker (http://static.px.yelp.com/bphoto/t_gku-tq_e24nSwBNWzcqg/l) - Oh my! Archie never looked this good before! I had it served hot on a Dutch Crunch roll. It's a thick pile of roast beef, melted cheddar cheese, soft grilled red onions, garlic mayo, lettuce, tomato and pickles. It became an instant favorite with me. This was one outstanding sandwich. In addition to the two photos, I've posted the menu also. read more

I really want to like this place, I really do. It's near my house and the only place on San Bruno Ave that's not Asian food and has sandwiches and coffee. But the 3 or so times I've been here have not been pleasant. Here's what I remember from my last 2 visits: -Probably a few months ago I came here and ordered a small latte. I paid and she turned around to do some stuff. Came back and asked, "did you say Americano?" After I told her it was a latte, she turns around again and goes towards the espresso machine. Turns to me again and says "I'm sorry, what did you order again?" She's on her cell phone this whole time. -Today, I came in around 12:15pm. There's 3 woman behind the counter making food and one woman, who appears to be the same woman who helped me last time, turns to me and says "Are you waiting for the bagel?" I said, "No, I haven't ordered yet." She apologies kindly and takes my order for a breakfast croissant sandwich. I take it to-go and proceed to drive away and open up my sandwich in the car. After eating the first half of my burnt croissant sandwich, I bite into the second half and felt something weird. I proceeded to spit out a piece of plastic that was in the sandwich. Looks like what you would find on a price tag attached to a brand new shirt. ~see photo I've attached. Despite my own rule of never driving and using my phone, I used my speakerphone and called Fat Beli Deli (phone number listed on Yelp) to tell them what happened. "The mailbox you have reached is currently full." *sigh* Sooo, unless I decide to go again or if they read their Yelp reviews, they'll never know what happened. Again, I really want to like this place. But considering the lack of attention they give to their food and patrons, I don't see why I need to spend my money here. I'm okay with driving farther. read more

Fat Beli Deli - My burnt breakfast croissant with a special surprise! (read my review) - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

Had just come into SFO after flying a red eye from the east. Really needed some caffeine before spending a day in the city. So we just exited at this random ramp and drove off to find this place. Parking was a pain when there's only street parking. But there was no line inside and I was able to grab a nice warm latte (usual pricing) before heading out. There have a little bakery sections with pasties for breakfast or sandwiches. Looked like another family stopped in for a quick bite to eat. read more

Love this hole in the wall! It was my first time here and there are 3 key things I look for: 1. Cleanliness 2 customer service 3. Food quality / taste This place met all 3 key points with flying colors! The staff (Ade, Shakira and Sean) were all personable and guided me through their menu. I got the 10 inch Meat Head on Dutch Crunch and my son got the 5 inch BLT on Dutch Crunch. Both sandwiches were delicious! We'll definitely be back soon. read more
