It is definitely on the pricier side, which is really the only thing that held it back for me.

Welp Yelp, my familiarity with Genova's is based upon my long and well-established history with the…read moreG-Supernova in my hometown (Oakland), which makes me a little snobby in the sammich realm. Don't get me wrong, the Genova's in the big (little) Dub Cee does what it can to keep up and turns out some pretty decent sandwiches. It has all the trademark imported knickknacks (biscotti, multicolored taffy in well-worn bins, boxed panettone, etc.) as well as traditional staples like wine, fresh pasta and the famed Genova's brand boxed frozen ravioli for you to take home and spoil your family with in a variety of flavors like artichoke, mushroom and even pumpkin. But it lacks soul. It lacks spirit. It doesn't have any of the flavor that the Genova's in Oakland had and each sandwich churned out is indicative of that. It's just not that good. And for a sandwich you have to wait a mighty long time for, it better be good. Real good. So, I've come to terms with the fact that I don't have a Genova's left to go to and that's okay. Sometimes it's better to have loved and lost (a sandwich) than never to have loved at all.

Avoid the tri-tip bowl. It was not good in any way, shape, or form. It tasted like a chef's…read moreexperiment... but the chef was a 4-year-old child throwing random flavors together that had no business being in the same bowl. It was terrible. The ribs were decent--I'd give them a solid B-. I'd order those again (but I wouldn't actually come back). The chicken was surprisingly good too, especially for the price (I'd maybe do the chicken if I was in the area and hungry). The biggest disappointment was the takeout. We actually wanted to eat at the restaurant but the service was a disaster. We awkwardly stood there for about 10 minutes before we could order. And it was until we said we would just leave since you guys obviously can't attend to the three tables in your restaurant. It was very poorly executed and left a lot to be desired. Kinders is a prime example of why I usually avoid chain and brand-name BBQ restaurants. They often rely on the name more than the food, and unfortunately this visit lived up to that stereotype. Ultimately food was below average, over priced service was weak, and the ambiance was vanilla. Save your money it is not worth it

A lot of options in sandwiches, chips, and drinks. #5 California Club - loaded with turkey and the perfect amount of crispy bacon. Got it on a toasted Dutch crunch roll that brought it all together. #15 Avocado, Sprouts, and Cheese - On a soft wheat roll with the crunchiest cucumbers. All veggies were very fresh Parking was limited with a small parking lot in the back and street parking. Welcomed by friendly staff that grabs your order over the counter and then they send you to get in line to pay at the register. You can also place online orders. The wait wasn't too bad on a Sunday afternoon and definitely worth it. Easily became one of my new fav sandwich shops!

There were already a few people ordering, but I was helped out right away. Since it was my first time here, I asked the worker if there was anything she recommended. She let me know I could build my sandwich, but she gladly pointed me toward one of her favorites, the peppered turkey with pepper jack cheese. I went with the sourdough roll and got it with the works. It was a pretty hefty sandwich! They didn't hold back with the turkey and the pepper jack went really well with it. It wasn't overly salty, the flavors were balanced, and it hit the spot. The price was $15.50, which is pretty standard nowadays. But compared to some of the other sandwich spots I've tried around the area, it had noticeably better flavor. There are a ton of options and combinations to choose from. I'll definitely be back for more. I think I may have found my new favorite sandwich spot!

Upon arrival, we found parking easily, a lovely elderly lady opened the door for us to this old school deli and we were greeted quickly at the counter while in awe of all the goodies. I ordered a mortadella sandwich, my toddler got the pasta salad, my friend got the peppered turkey sandwich and her toddler got the potato salad. The food arrived quickly and was massive! The sandwiches were well seasoned, had a good meat to bread ratio and were satisfying. The folks here were so lovely and despite the limited seating, no one gave us a look for having toddlers playing around. After eating, you can go to the register and pay. This kind of blew my mind- this level of trust is not often seen anymore. During the hour that we were there, there was a constant stream of people coming in to order food, their tables were full and everyone seemed happy. I am so happy to finally get to try Parma! We will be back to this lovely deli the next time our schedules align.

Both this location and the other Walnut Creek on S. California Blvd are fantastic. The Treat Blvd location has some indoor seating, which is nice. The S. California Blvd location only has outdoor seating. The service is always good. They are not fast, and often have a long line, so just be aware of that. I love the ambiance; it gives me an old-school Italian American vibe. It's more of a to-go place, but you can eat there as well. In addition to their amazing sandwiches, they also offer a great deli selection of salads, cold cuts, sausages, cheeses, etc. They also sell a well-curated selection of shelf items, such as pasta, cannoli shells, cookies, Sicilian torrone, canned tomatoes, olive oil, etc. If you are looking for an Italian deli in the east bay, this is the spot.

Now...Now I see why the Matt Cain is one of the more popular sandwiches…read more.. Me and my buddy ordered some sammies for our weekly video-game day. If you live in the Bay Area, you already know. Ike's sandwiches always delivers. I've never had a bad sandwich but personally my favorite sandwich is usually the Madison Bumgarner. It always scratches my itch for BBQ. However I recently decided to try the famous Mat Cain sandwich. I think I might have a new favorite sandwich now... The Mat Cain is heavy protein with Beef, Salami and Turkey. I think ultimately it's more Beef forward but the Salami and Godfather sauce really evolve the sandwich. If you love prime rib. Order this sandwich. If you are a fan of mustard. Order this sandwich. If you are a long time fan of Ikes and have yet to try the Mat Cain...ORDER THIS SANDWICH. Good lord is tasty. The Godfather sauce is so addicting. You think it's just a fancy mustard but then the next second you think that it's actually a horseradish. I really think the horseradish radish flavor is such a genius idea because it pairs so well with the Beef. Just like the mustard pairs so well with the Salami. Theres just so many layers to this sandwich. God. The more I talk about this. The more I just want to order this again.
