Great place to pick up a snack and drinks. They also serve AMAZING lunches. Their sandwiches are out of this world. The portion size is large. You can even make it a combo and get chips and a drink. They offer a variety of chips, treats and beverages. They also offer Edna cookies and brownies which is amazing!!!! The ladies that run it are amazing. They are so welcoming and friendly. They make you feel like family. They are helpful and always have a smile on their faces. The tri-tip sandwiches are the BEST! You won't find better in Santa Maria.... truly. Defiantly stop in if you are ever out that way. read more

I read an article about the Santa Maria area, and a local pit master recommended Garey Store for their tri tip sandwiches, which is the Friday special. Since we were going to be in Santa Maria on a Friday, I made it a point to stop by so my family could try it. We had a wine tour at Bien Nacido about 1.5 miles away so we planned to grab sandwiches for lunch before our tour started. We arrived to find the cutest western style store. Inside is clean and has a few tables to dine at. There are snacks on one wall, refrigerators of drinks on the other wall, and a ton of pink caps hung up as decor. The ladies working there were very welcoming. To order your sandwiches, you take a paper from the counter and circled what you want in your sandwich and hand it back to them. Prices are not listed anywhere, so I had to ask. As of 7/2026, sandwiches are $12.49, the Tri tip is $14.00. When we opened our sandwiches to eat them, I was disappointed that they were so small and basic! OK, yes, they use the bread you can buy at the market so it's normal size bread, but for $12.49, I honestly expected something a bit more substantial and more special tasting, not something that looks and tastes like what I slap together for my kid's school lunch for less than $5. Don't get me wrong, they are not bad sandwiches, they're just very simple and basic at a premium price point. It would've been nice if they had some fun tasting sauces to put in the sandwich. The tri tip sandwich we went there for ended up being a "meh" item as well. The family said it was ok but not something they would order again. read more

I work in this part of Garry/Santa Maria a couple of times a year and today we finally decided to try Garry Store/Deli. It was a nice clean place and the person working there was really cool! I was only gonna get a salami sandwich with some toppings of my choosing but it didn't seem right so I asked her to make it like she would eat it and it was AMAZING! read more

I've been meaning to try their Tritip sandwich for years. I finally did and it was everything I'd hoped for. Delicious juicy Tritip on a hoagie roll. Generous portion of meat, wonderful customer service. It is only available on Friday's but worth the wait. I'll be back!:) read more

Garey Store - Delicious Tri-Tip sandwich - Grocery Near Me - Santa Maria, California

An AMAZING way to enjoy the quality of Garey Store is eating the delicious Upside-down pineapple cake with the sweetness of the pineapple and the spongy dough of the cake made it absolutely breathtaking. We (as a family) enjoyed this delicious treat and knowing we are helping people with cancer and further helping others in the future. And don't forget the infamous Tri-Tip Sandwich! Without a doubt, nothing can be made more perfect and tasteful than a Garey Store style Tri-Tip Sandwich. Also, my grandpa is very grateful you have twist-off 16 oz Coors lite beer. Also he wants your ice machine back. He really misses it. Thank you! Organ Family read more

I've tried many sandwiches and salads here and they have all been fantastic! Tri tip on Fridays is amazing and is a very generous portion.

Fun, nice people making an incredible pastrami sandwich! Double check, but I think it's hamburgers on Tuesday only! read more

Great little small town store. My son loves to stop and have a sandwich for lunch. Definitely recommend when you're passing through.

Pastrami sandwich is to die for! The tri tip is also great but not being offered for awhile. (High cost of meat).

Tri tip sandwiches are back. Heard a lot about it, but never had it until yesterday. Very tasty with generous amounts of meat. Great with salsa and jalapeño added. Fast and friendly service as well. Will be back, but need to try their pastrami. read more

This store has great sandwiches! I wish they were open during the weekends!! As it is the only store on Foxen Canyon road.

Great little sandwich place with friendly and welcoming staff. Made a great stopover heading up the coast and getting off the beaten path. Don't expect some high faluting city folk operation, it's a country deli in a small town, lovingly run. read more

Excellent sandwhich. So hospitable. Purchased two hats. My family lived in Garey for a number of years, so this was a special visit. Very pleasant atmosphere. read more

We love Garey store so much the location is so beautiful the staff is so friendly and helpful gotta try the tri tip sandwich

I was in the area a few years ago and a customer told me to meet him there for a sandwich as the place was famous and nearby. The food did not disappoint, didn't see any celebrities that day but than again i wasn't looking for any either. If you wanted to get a little country under your tires its worth the drive. read more

Very good sandwiches. Our favorite is tritip and roast beef. So nice to have them in our neighborhood.

So cute and the tri-tip sandwich is delicious. Tri-tip sandwiches are served on Friday, until they run out of the tri-tip. My husband and I were in town, visiting my parents, luckily we were here on a Friday. The market is cute and clean and the staff is sooooo friendly. The sandwiches were excellent, the cuts of meat were thin, perfectly cooked and over flowing in the sandwich. (Served with salsa and jalapeños) The bread was so soft and delicious. The market has plenty of beverages, chips and other goodies available. It was so good, that my Dad insisted we go again this Friday! They have 3 picnic tables outside and a couple of other chairs on the side, for outdoor dining. read more

We love the staff and they make really yummy sandwiches. Love visiting the Garey Store.

THE BEST TRITIP SANDWICH FOR SALE IN THE VALLEY. GET THE SALSA, GET THE JALAPENOS, PUT IT ALL ON THERE LETS GOOOO. But on a more serious note these gals got it on point, the meat is tender, juicy, smoky, and seasoned perfectly. I live in sisquoc and my family and i get it when we are all together and we can. The staff is top notch, super friendly and wonderful with children. it is worth the drive go get it on friday thank me later. read more

I love this place! We stumbled upon this place by accident but it's exactly what you want when in the middle of wine country. An amazing sandwich just like your mama would make for you growing up. Adorable country by the side of the road place. Will definitely come back here. read more

Garey Store and Deli has the very best sandwiches! They are made to order by a very friendly staff. My favorite lunch!

Great sandwiches, great service. A wine country treasure. This is the old fashion country store you remember, still alive and well. Tri-tip on Fri and BBQ chicken on Thurs. She will always make a BLT on request. Get it to go and stop at your favorite winery for a leisurely lunch. Avoid the drama of Los Olivios, after all, you are here to taste wine, right? read more

Our railroad field trip stopped here for lunch this past Saturday. Great little place, wonderful sandwiches. Felt like we'd turned the clock back a little. If you'd like to see photos from the trip, including the Garey Store: http://friends-smvrr.org/151114.html read more

This place is a jewel and the ambiance takes me back to the 1960's. Good sandwiches, reasonably priced and friendly service. I'd driven by it dozens of times over the years and finally stopped. Should have done it years ago. read more
