I went with a godfather sandwich and the first thing I noticed is that the sandwich is absolutely stuffed. They are not shy about putting meat in here which I appreciate as sometimes sandwich spots give a less than desirable amount. I was also surprised at how good the Dutch crunch I chose tasted (it had a slight chew but was also fluffy at the same time). It definitely wasn't the cheapest sandwich (after tax it was around 19 bucks) but based on the ingredients and amount of meat I'd say it's fair value!

The Best sandwiches!…read more The sandwiches I ordered for my event at my new business were absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and made with so much care. My guests couldn't stop complimenting how delicious they were--perfectly balanced flavors and high-quality ingredients in every bite. They not only looked great laid out for the event, but they also added such a professional and elevated touch to the experience. The service was smooth, timely, and stress-free, which made hosting so much easier. I'll definitely be ordering again and highly recommend them for any event or gathering!

When you see the entire store front packed with City Workers enjoying their meals...IT'S A MUST TO STOP AND TRY THEIR FOOD! That speaks volume in itself! I just love "MOM AND POP" locations! I believe this shop is a mother and son ran operation and they are an amazing duo dishing out amazing subs for reasonable prices! Watch out other sandwich chains out there cause Grove Grinder IS WHERE IT'S AT!!!! They have been in business since 1972...NUFF SAID! I ordered the Ann Special with everything on it. They do not skimp on meat and the proportion of bread to meat to veggie ratio is spot on! A full size sandwich is enough to feed two people easily or one very hungry person. I did not try any of their side items or large selection of root beer drink options to choose from but, I will be back many more times to try all they offer! Thank you Grove Grinder for amazing eats and allowing me to snap all my photos of your small shop for my review! If in Lemon Grove, show some love to Grove Grinder and grab you one of their amazing affordable, delicious subs...YOUR WELCOME IN ADVANCE!

Captain's Log, Stardate 21509.7…read more This past Friday I set my course for Did Z Akins in La Mesa -- a roadside star on I‑8 that my crew and I had passed a thousand times but never boarded. At long last we beamed down, and the experience surpassed every expectation. From the moment we entered, the atmosphere felt like coming home to a welcoming starbase. The staff treated us with genuine warmth and patience as we navigated a menu full of storied classics. Their attentive service turned a simple meal into a memorable mission. My first officer aka wife enjoyed a superbly composed salad, and chose the Turkey Club -- both delivered with thoughtful care. I began with the biscuits and gravy, a traditional hit that tasted like comforting shore leave. But the true highlight was the patty melt: perfectly seared, with lush caramelized onions and melted cheese that achieved harmony at warp speed. It was, without hyperbole, the best patty melt I've encountered in this quadrant. Each bite was a cascade of flavor that felt like discovering a thriving new world. This kitchen knows how to respect ingredients and execute classics flawlessly. No extra condiments were necessary -- the craftsmanship spoke for itself. DZ Akins is now a plotted course for every future convoy through I‑8. Highly recommended for anyone seeking honest, stellar diner fare and service that treats you like family among the stars. Captain 619, stay salty my friends!

On 7 May this year, roughly somewhere in the late afternoon closer to the evening, my grandpa and I…read morestopped by here because, well... we needed something to eat. We figured this restaurant would serve us well for what it's worth. We had since discovered that depending on which section you were seated on, you may or may not get lacklustre service. This visit was such the latter case. Our waitress, who I believed to be named "Charlotte", unless of course I absolutely misread or misremembered the name, did not seem to recognise nor care for us, despite the amount of dough we put into their entire business (outside of their souvenir shop). Long story short: she was incredibly slow to get our drinks, and even slower to take our order. Meanwhile, she was more than willing to give a much more expedient service and a pleasant conversation to other customers and even her co-workers. At first with the initial service, I was worried about when she'd get on over here within the first five or so minutes to take our drink orders. Heck, even when I requested a refill for my water, she told us "give me a few minutes" as loud and clear as it were. But it wasn't until we were eating where she promptly asked the table behind us for their drinks, AS SOON AS THEY WERE SAT DOWN. That's when I got absolutely infuriated, and felt that my suspicions about her unpleasant and passive-aggressive behaviour were proven to be true. Keep in mind: it was practically dead, not even remotely busy during that day and time of day, with only but about eight customers in TOTAL, including us. The food was okay, I will say, but this time, I just didn't feel like I could take on the whole food order like I usually had done in the past. Whether it was because I slurped too much of that shake, or because I was being treated very poorly with my friend, one would have to take a stab in the dark on that one. We left extremely bitter about the situation, and we even thought a $10 tip was far too generous for the terrible treatment we received from our waitress around that day; we usually tip much higher than that. I've since been very uneasy about coming here even to pick up some fresh bagels from the bakery.

This was my first visit to the Knockout Deli near SDSU but it will definitely not be my last! I got…read morethe Boss Burger with fries and it was amazingly delicious! They had a wide variety of free refill drinks that were very good as well. The owner was the only person working when we were there around 6:00 on a Wednesday night. He was attentive, outgoing, accommodating and friendly. He made us feel like family. The restaurant and the bathroom was clean and neat. I liked the Al Capone era pictures on the walls. And the "Cheers" vibe with the set up and decor was nice as well. All in all I loved the experience eating there and will definitely be back and will tell others to check them out.

Hidden in the North Park area of San Diego, this spot is definitely a hidden gem. They've got a solid sandwich menu with plenty of options, plus you can build your own exactly how you want it. I went with the "Fatboy's Special" made "Fatboy's way" with their full veggie selection, and it did not disappoint. The sandwich was stacked with meat, loaded with fresh veggies, and made fresh to order it also comes with a pickle and side of macaroni or potato salad. The staff was quick to take my order and kept things moving without making the experience feeling rushed. They also have a little outdoor eating area along the side of the building, which is a great spot to sit and enjoy your food. This is the kind of classic deli sandwich that hits the spot every time simple, fresh, and packed with flavor. If you're in the area, I highly recommend checking them out!

Super cute local spot with breakfast options and smoothies…read more I got a breakfast grilled cheese with a very berry smoothie. The texture of the toast is immaculate, the eggs and meat are fluffy, and the cheese is nicely layered.

The smoothie had a really nice flavor and consistency without being too sweet.

The flavors were fine and the food was prepared reasonably well, but nothing really stood out as exceptional. I also ordered a club sandwich to go, and unfortunately when I got home and opened it, it was missing about half of the listed ingredients, which was disappointing--especially for a classic sandwich where those items really matter. Overall, the food is okay and the place has potential, but the inconsistency between dine-in and to-go orders took away from the experience. I'd consider coming back, but I'd double-check takeout orders before leaving.

I usually order through DoorDash and select free pickup, which is super convenient because it's ready right when I get there. Easy, efficient, and consistently good.

Cali Boy's continues to be a solid deli with fair pricing. Their bread is always soft, good ratio of meat:cheese:veggies and condiments and friendly service always. I also appreciate when delis use good quality meat and cheese, so knowing they still use Boar's Head is a win. They can get pretty busy during the lunch rush, so plan accordingly and call your order in. Next time you're craving a good deli sandwich that won't break the bank, remember that Cali Boy's is your place.

I've driven past this little spot for years and honestly cannot believe I'm just now stopping in…read more Cali Boy's Deli is a total hidden gem located right inside a liquor store. It is a classic no-frills setup, and honestly, those are always the best spots. Plus, it has a nice parking lot which is a huge relief compared to other places. The people there are so kind and genuinely enthusiastic. When they heard it was my first time, the guy behind the counter gave me a big smile and told me, "you don't even know what you're about to get into," and he was spot on. I ordered the Italian hot sub and it was delicious. It was super filling and stacked with a ton of meat and toppings, but it actually stayed together. I usually hate it when sandwiches fall apart with every bite, but this one was built perfectly and stayed neat the whole time. The bread was the best part. Even though I called ahead for pickup, it was not soggy at all by the time I got it. It held everything together without being so hard that it tore up the roof of my mouth. It was just perfect. The price point is excellent. Honestly, it is a much better sandwich than a lot of the bougier shops that charge over 20 dollars for half the size and have zero parking. I felt incredibly satisfied afterward. They were really excited to give me a stamp card and said they wanted to make me a repeat customer. It definitely worked because I will happily be going back. My order was ready the second I walked in too. Highly recommend if you want a great sandwich from people who clearly care about what they are doing!

Of course, the meats are tougher to replicate, but this is the absolute BEST vegan bacon I have ever had. The sausage is great too.

I'm looking forward to trying the BLT and the hot dogs! The cream cheese is reeeeeally good too. We tried the Jalapeno and the Bacon-Scallion. I recommend getting one of those added to your bagel sandwich.
