I usually go to the Burlingame location since it's easier parking and slightly bigger, but the SSF location is the OG. Any sandwich here is amazing and I've tried A LOT.

Went on a late Saturday afternoon, an hour before closing, and they had a few Dutch Crunch bread available. There's street parking in front of the shop but if you turn right a little past the shop, you can take a gamble at street parking. Walking into the store felt so homey. There's a bunch of antiques and that gave me such a warm welcome. There were about 3 people working so it took a little bit for them to get through the line. We ordered 2 sandwiches and it came out to be about $26. Parma (9/10): I wish there was more of a crunch in the bread but everything tasted so fresh. This was one of my favorite sandwiches I've had in a while. Tuna Salad (9/10): The tuna salad was super fresh tasting. We had to bring it back to-go because it was close to their closing time so the bottom bread did get a little soggy. This was a definite come back if I'm ever in the area again.

I got a custom veggie sandwich with all of the offered sauces, lettuce, pickles, tomatoes, etc., provolone cheese, and avocado on Dutch crunch bread. I wasn't sure if their premade sandwiches were better than what I came up with, but my boyfriend got the Victoria sandwich and also thought our favorite sandwich chain's offerings were better. Not a bad stop, but I would probably not return again in favor of trying something new. The decor has a lot of stuff about war and it feels a little cramped in there. I think most people that I saw got their orders to go.

Mar/2026 I had to put the date because the reviews from a…read moreyear ago and from eight months ago, don't quite paint the same picture of what is being served in this restaurant now. I ordered the Godfather sandwich based on previous photos. I thought it was going to be some kind of a loaded sandwich since it was $20 after tax. When I opened the box, I was a little bit worried that I had ordered the wrong sandwich because it was about the size of my hand. I looked at the photos and I thought ma'am it's kind of looks similar, but maybe I'm just missing something as a scale. But if you look at the layers of the meat, there are actually less layers now than there were 12 and eight months ago. I'm not saying it's a bad sandwich. I'm just saying it's a bad value. The Caesar salad seemed like it was prepackaged in a box. The cheese, kind of taste like refrigerator. And there was no lemon or any kind of anchovy sauce or flavor in the dressing. At the time of writing this review, this restaurant has 4.6 stars shame on me for not reading the recent reviews because I'm not sure I would have ventured here if I did.

Located in a quiet neighborhood in South SF, the deli is unassuming, but loaded with flavorful sandwich combinations. I've tried a couple of their sandwiches on separate occasions and I'm always surprised by the deliciousness and affordability of the food. The service is quick and the staff is always helpful. You can tell the owners take a lot of pride in the food- all the ingredients are fresh and each sandwich tastes intentional- no frozen energy at all.

I was in the area for work, and I needed something quick and easy as I was hopping from one biotech site to the next. This shop was conveniently nearby and free parking wasn't difficult to find (sufficient street parking + nearby neighborhood parking). The menu is pretty straightforward, offering a variety of basic and specialty sandwiches. Most of the basic sandwiches (the one meat options with standard toppings) were less than $10!! I opted for one of those sandwiches, getting the turkey sandwich on dutch crunch. From the cross-section of the sandwich, you can tell this is indeed a hearty sandwich. The quantity of meat they provide for the price is plentiful, and the ingredients making the sandwich all tasted fresh. The service was fast and friendly overall. There's no seating inside or outside, so I ended up eating this in my car. But for this price and quality, I'd do this again any day.

Randomly picked The Boys' Deli 'cause by all indications it looked like a hard core sammy place . We were not disappointed. They claim to be the best sandwich restaurant in San Bruno, we would give them way higher props than that. Definitely a top 5 spot for SF Bay area. While we haven't tried them all yet, out of the 20 or so we have tried, this one made what we already agreed will be a lasting impression. Every sandwich looked great, tastefully considered and well accessorized Needless to say, if you find yourself anywhere near San Bruno or, like us, are looking for a pit stop between the city and the south bay, seriously consider putting this on your short list. Quick hat tip to the staff, they were alls super cool.

And they've been stacking it with crab salad, mayo, garlic spread and crushed jalapenos since 1970. I'd like to tell you they haul this crab fresh out the bay, but it's actually a blend of crab, fish, and imitation crab. I don't know where they get it, but it hasn't changed in over 50 years, and that's saying something. Not much about this place has changed. Generations of Bay Area kids grew up on this counter. Most of us remember stopping by on the way to a game at candlestick park, or after landing at SFO. Candlestick is gone now, but I still stop by sometimes, usually for the crab sandwich on dutch crunch. It's not the "best sandwich in the bay area". It's not a modern sandwich breaking the mold. It's a classic. A legend. A piece of history, and it's worth going for that reason alone. But they only serve it wednesday through friday.

When I looked at the online ordering, it said it would take about 20 minutes, and my hotel was about a 20 minute ride away, so that worked out perfectly. I ordered the Sheriff and some seasoned fries and got on the road. Both the burger and fries were hearty and hit the spot. Overall, this perfectly nails a 4-star experience. The burger wasn't some kind of next level amazing, but it was just a perfectly enjoyable way to end my 4 days in the Bay Area. Hidden Spot is essentially the kitchen portion of a dive bar. I sat at a table with only one other patron in the place around 11am on a Saturday morning. The other patron was enjoying the ability to be fully in charge of the digital juke box while I was enjoying stuffing my face.

It's in a pretty busy shopping plaza and so parking might be tough. But you walk in and the line is wrapped around with a bunch of sandwich makers that make your order fresh. I ended up getting the lucca's ultimate (turkey, ham, bacon and cheese) on dutch crunch. The sandwich is huge btw so you can definitely split one with someone else. Everything tasted fresh and the garlic sauce is incredible. I will say that the bread isn't toasted and pretty thick so the bite that you get can sometimes be a bit hard to bite through. It might even borderline on being a bit dry because of that. Maybe if it was hallowed out a bit and then toasted, that would be my preference. Overall though, a good sandwich spot
