I'm not usually one to leave reviews but my friend & I felt extremely compelled to leave one this…read moretime. We were driving through slo and decided to stop at High Street Deli. I ordered a simple turkey sandwich on a sourdough roll with chipotle mayo, mustard, onion, etc. Do not let the simplicity of this order fool you. This was genuinely the best sandwich I have ever tasted in my entire life. Every ingredient stayed perfectly in place when going for a bite, they didn't skimp out on the amount of turkey, and the roll was toasted to absolute perfection. The crew at this shop is NOT messing around. With every bite, we thought of what diction we could use for this review to describe it. I could go on and on about how magical this sandwich was, but I urge you to go try it for yourself. Thank you High Street Deli staff for making our day!

High Street Deli completely exceeded my expectations with their sandwiches. After trying it, I…read moretotally understand why it's so loved. After 4 PM, they offer the "420 Special," which makes their sandwiches only $9. They also have online ordering, which I attempted to use, but they had already reached their limit for online orders because they were so busy. And after visiting, I can see why! Despite the crowd, they've perfected their sandwich ordering system, it's super efficient. When you walk in, you fill out a small paper checklist with your order and hand it to one of the employees at the register. They submit your order, you pay, and then wait for your sandwich. Expect at least a 25-minute wait, especially during busy hours. I tried the Tropical Vacation sandwich: smoked turkey, jalapeño havarti, "the works," romaine, sprouts, avocado, honey mustard, cranberry sauce, and sliced sourdough. I swapped the sourdough for Dutch Crunch bread, and it was PERFECT. It was the thickest, juiciest, and most flavorful sandwich I've ever had. I'll be dreaming about it until I can have it again. The pictures truly don't do these sandwiches justice, they were massive. I also tried the Spring Club sandwich. It was just as thick and delicious, though not quite as juicy as the Tropical Vacation. Honestly, I want to try ALL of their sandwiches because I have no doubt they're all amazing. The shop itself is super cute with a vintage feel, and they also offer a wide variety of beverages, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Food: 10/10 Service: 9/10 Ambiance: 9/10 Overall: 9/10

We had previously tried to stop into the Lincoln Market & Deli for breakfast, but we were too early…read morethat time so we're glad this time we could make it work. Here is what we noticed: - You order at the front door and then pay at the counter. There is a little store with gifts, etc., that you can browse while you're waiting. - There's a great amount of outdoor seating in a large spacious patio. - The breakfast menu is more limited as this is primarily a sandwich shop it appears, but we found a few items that were appealing. My wife and I split the Almost Famous Burrito and the Walk of Shame Breakfast Sandwich. Both were really good! The burrito wasn't especially huge but it was very tasty and I liked that it had been fried on the grill. The sauce on the Walk of Shame sandwich wad awesome. Bottom line: We would go back again for breakfast and would also like to try one of their lunch sandwiches sometime.

I had the breakfast burrito with bacon and added avocado. It was a little pricey but also half was good for one meal and the other half for another meal later on. They flatten the burrito, panini style, but that just gives the tortilla flavor and makes it a little easier to bite into. Fresh ingredients and almost a balanced bite each time. If there had been more sauce or the bacon spread out more, then this would be a 5 star review. Perfect when you got everything in a bite but lacking something when you didn't. Still one of the best burritos i have had recently. I highly recommend you try them out!

We'll be back for sure when we visit SLO again :)

We ordered the famous tri-tip sandwich, the Firebird, and a half-and-half basket of fries and onion rings. To be honest, we were both a little disappointed by the tri-tip sandwich. They give you a generous amount of meat, but the flavor was milder than expected, and the meat itself was slightly tough, which made the sandwich less enjoyable overall. The Firebird, on the other hand, was unexpectedly delicious. It is basically two chicken tenders in sandwich form, but the fresh toppings and Thousand Island dressing brought everything together perfectly. The true star, though, was the fries and onion rings. Seriously, just get them. We had not planned to order them, but the cashier convinced us and guaranteed we would not regret it--and he was absolutely right. The fries were definitely on the salty side, but in the best possible way. The onion rings were my personal favorite and easily the winner of the meal. What's not to like?--great value, quick service, and comfort food done right.

This was actually pretty shameless and all you had to do was order one other site item that totaled two dollars and you got a sandwich for It turns out I was ordering before the store opened so I was automatically given a pick up time of half an hour after they opened for the day. I went with a simple tuna fish sandwich on their small sub. The app did not let me know when my sandwich was ready, but I did arrive a few minutes early, and it was all ready to go. I was met by the smiling face of the single employee in the restaurant. My sandwich was already bagged. My name was on it and my chips and extra napkins were inside already. The store was very clean and organized, and I seemed to be the first customer of the day. The sandwich itself was very good. It had a generous amount of filling and was served as represented on the menu. I will have to try Capriotti's again to try a different type of sandwich as I think it's unfair to judge an entire restaurant by a tuna fish sandwich. However, everything was as advertised and I can confidently give this location a thumbs up.

My husband - who ordered from the taco place upstairs 20 minutes after me - finished his food before I got my soggy, not-melted, slightly toasted fancy "grilled" cheese.

What a funky little place - super original and definitely SLOcal!…read more Needed some sandwiches for a road trip, was in the area and thought I'd give the Sidewalk Market a try. I'm so glad I did! The exterior is definitely unassuming to say the least, I mean it is a functioning liquor store next to a public park. Once inside, you'll see everything you'd see in a 7/11, but with a much more quality selection of liquor. If I'm looking for a bottle of high-quality bourbon or whiskey, I'll certainly come here next time. But I scooted past that vast selection, because 1) it was lunchtime and 2) I was looking for food. =) I ordered a Mediterranean wrap and a Gyro pita from the little counter in the middle of the shop. I chatted a little with the chef, who was super sweet and helpful to pack my order with sauces on the side so nothing would get soggy before we ate it. Within a few minutes, everything was packed and ready, I paid with credit card and left for our road trip adventure. When we opened the lunch pack, we were greeted by amazing smells and great tastes! Especially the Mediterranean wrap was delicious! It's all a little pricey at $11 for a sandwich, but they're huge and so tasty, that you should skip any of the cheap offers from Subway and Co. to eat here! It's unique, local and delicious!

You may just think of this as a liquor store, but it's actually quite a bit more…read more This place is a hidden gem of some of the best craft beer for sale anywhere on the Central Coast. Seriously! From racks and racks of beers from Anchor, Founders, Dogfish Head, Stone, Oskar Blues, and tons more. They have specialty bottles of barrel aged, anniversary beers, hard to find brands too. They have a large wall of refrigerators for a load of cold beer too. But I'm not kidding you'll come in here, walk to the back and just feel blown away that you didn't know this selection existed. In addition to the beer, they have a deli where you can order everything from sandwiches and gyros to burritos and schwarma. Serious! The sandwich I had from here was okay, not amazing. I'd still come back to try the gyro though. Of course they have chips and drinks and lots of liquor too. Every time I've ever come in the cashiers have been super cool, laid back and really friendly. Just stop by and wander around, you'll find something you didn't know you want for sure.

The restaurant has spacious indoor seating and quite a bit of outdoor seating also. We didn't order beer but they appear to have a wide selection of beers.

The coconut shrimp was so good, the fish and chips were thick, flaky pieces, the burger was huge and the wrap was packed. Easily one of my favorites in SLO.

The area around the market is amazing with tons of other local shops, bakeries, ice cream and even a small feeding farm. The shop itself is also really nice with a variety items with fresh groceries and packaged stuff. We ordered two sandwiches one being a breakfast wrap and the other a chicken pesto sandwich. It took nearly an hour to get those made! Not sure if they had to freshly get the egg and chicken from the local farm near by first and prepare it because it took FOREVER. The sandwiches were also just alright. The chicken sandwich was a bit dry and tasteless. The breakfast wrap was better though and had nice fresh pieces of bacon which was delicious mixed with the eggs. Overall, very nice market but probably would skip on any of the sandwiches here again.

Vacation Spot - Sort Of - Inside SLO…read more.... My wife and I visited SLO Ranch when it first opened in 2023 and found an interesting mix of shops, but not many customers. We returned during the week between Christmas and New Year's 2025 to discover the buildings and tenants were changed, but the overall impression was very good. Pros: - The mini farm: There are several corrals each with shelters, food troughs and water sources. Everything is well maintained. Two have a total of about 10 goats and one has 2 alpacas and 2 donkeys. It's not quite a petting zoo because you can't go into the corrals, but they can be fed through the fencing with food bought in a shop. They all seemed quite content. - The shops: SLO Ranch is not big, but it does have a nice selection of stores and restaurants. Everything was bright and fresh with friendly employees. - Specialty Food Shops: We walked into cheese and chocolate shops which were very appealing, great looking and reasonably priced. - Ambiance: Welcoming. There are lots of places to sit outside and enjoy the scenery. Cons: - Restaurants: The quality might be good, but the variety is small. We saw a brewery, pizza place, Persian food, bakery (open only Friday-Sunday) and shops with biscuits and ice cream. The best looking place might be Lucy's Coffee which has a fairly big menu and lots of customers. - Parking: Okay on slow days, but the overflow must use a dirt lot. We didn't see a ton of people, but cars were already filling the lot. For us, the biggest draws were the animals, inviting shops and nice atmosphere.
