    Turkey, bacon, avocado
    Carly B.

    The sandwich has good flavors, the bread is good. However I was a little disappointed my whole sandwich would fall apart when I took a bite. The service was good, sandwiches were made well.

    Turkey Avocado Sandwich
    Trini V.

    Ordered the turkey avocado and it was amazing as usual. I always enjoy LJ's Deli and the staff is so friendly! Their sandwiches are huge and fairly priced for what you get. Try the chicken salad and breakfast too, you won't be disappointed. The seating area is so cute too- it's indoor patio style with fresh plants and colorful decor that makes you feel happy.

    -Sub Hut Special
    Stacie M.

    So I was born and raised in Terra Linda. I have been a customer of this unique little deli in the industrial park for over 50 years. I live in Santa Rosa for 22 years now. I have many fond memories back in the day. I wanted to share this family business with everyone! The service was easy and fast. I went there today....so good and who says you can never go home again?! I love the mural added to the wall. The tables are original...chairs instead curved bench seating. Good change tho! This was like stepping back in time. The food here is fantastic. The bread was baked this morning. It originally opened in early 1970s as Subhut and home of the Subhut Special.

    Chicken salad
    Allie P.

    Well crafted sandwiches. Surprisingly I loved the chicken salad sandwich when I took a bite of my boyfriends. My sandwich was good but I wish they had honey mustard and sprouts. I definitely would recommend checking this place out!

    That's $14 of turkey, bacon and avocado?! Very disappointing

    Had been here before on several occasions and sandwiches were great. Sounded good today so stopped in and got a turkey bacon avocado sandwich. Asked for no mustard but got it anyway. Not a big deal. But paying $14 for a sandwich that ended up being all bread and lettuce is not cool. I swear they looked at the receipt to see if I tipped before making the sandwich... and this is what I got

    burnt sandwich

    received my sandwich burnt. It was an online order during lunch. everything else seemed to be ok

    Service was not great, it's a sandwich shop. I don't expect a greeting. Just quick service - that was missing. Sandwich was almost $15 and it felt...lacking. Sandwich is not great or good. It was mostly squished bread with lots of onions.

    *Chicken Bacon Jalapeno*
    Carla M.

    I tried the Chicken Bacon Jalapeno and its by far my favorite sandwich to order. I normally get it to go and its still good when I arrive to my destination. The service is always great and fast. And driving to the deli is always easy to find and because I work by the YMCA its my go to!! The location is a cute little shop where you can also seat in and enjoy your food.

    Piece of paper in my latte!
    Tony B.

    Usually service is good when ladies are working. Today a young man was working about 10:45 am. I ordered a chocolate Latte,and when I took my last drink this paper came out. It's not from cup or sleeve!?

If you can't get through, don't despair. At 6:15 when I picked up my order, people were still able to walk up and order, although only a few entree choices were left.

I was intrigued because they had Dutch crunch bread and as everyone knows, we all love that Dutch crunch! Unfortunately Marin doesn't have many places with Dutch crunch roll sandwiches, seems like sourdough is more popular on this side of the bridge. Finding the storefront wasn't too hard. It's located up a hill next to an urgent care. Parking was fairly easy in the structure. I ordered the Hot Chicken Club sandwich ($11.45) on Dutch crunch bread. To start, the bread was okay. Wasn't exactly crunchy but nothing like a quick oven bake at home can't fix. The sandwich lists- breaded chicken, bacon, pepper jack cheese, lettuce (romaine), tomato and chipotle aioli. I was sort of expecting the sandwich to have a bigger spice kick because of the "hot" in the name of the sandwich. It wasn't spicy at all unfortunately. I did appreciate that it was not over saucy and it was easy to handle the sandwich when eating. I was half expecting the breaded chicken to be crispy but it wasn't sadly. There was only 1 piece of bacon on the sandwich. The ratio of meat (chicken and bacon) to veggie (tomato and romaine) was fairly even. For the price and size, it was okay. It is a tad smaller than the sandwiches I've seen at other places like Michael's sourdough. The storefront was fairly large with lots of into and outdoor seating. The two people working seemed nice. Hopefully they have more influx of customers due to having urgent care nearby. Due to the location, I feel like not many people know about this place since it's not the easiest to get to if you don't have a car. Overall, I may come back and try another sandwich in the future if I'm nearby but wouldn't go out of my way for it.

This location in greater San Rafael is a bit out of my way, but a recent trip to Marin was an opportunity to make up for the lost. Located in a business center, parking here is not an issue and they were not particularly busy on a Sunday night. We were seated immediately, noticing how clean and modern the two-story gastropub looks. The food menu is more or less pub food, executed well. Mango-habanero wings were crispy and came with two dipping sauces, both delicious. We also tired the pretzel, which is on a smaller size, so next time I'll take our server's suggestion and order two. It also came with mustard and cheese for dipping. All their burgers are more or less a la carte: no fries, but chips and house pickle on the side. The burgers were fine though, with smash being smaller, but a bit tastier than their signature Monk's burger. Simplicity is sometimes the best. The beer list is expertly curated with focus on other styles besides IPA, but I assume that Russian River's Pliny the Elder and Blind Pig are always on the menu, in addition to ultra-local options. For pub fare, Monk's Kettle is a bit pricy, which is not totally unexpected in today's economy-especially knowing the area. However, elevated food, drinks, and service quality usually comes with the elevated price tag. We might not be back next time in Marin, but this was surely not the last visit to Monk's.

The server was very attentive but not overly bothersome which was a bonus.

Upon my first visit I noticed some outdoor seating below street level (in the Kaiser building) and checked it out when I was done with what I'd come for. The place was Los Gamos Cafe and it was neat, clean, and quiet and the prepared salads they had looked enticing enough that I inquired where they'd come from (Debbie Ghiringelli Catering) since there appeared to be no food prep facilities on-site. When I returned days later I was early and hungry and made my way back to Los Gamos Cafe for one of those salads which consisted of chopped lettuce, a big piece of sliced chicken, some fried won ton skins, and dressing. At $11 it seemed a reasonable price but I was proven wrong. I'm one who rarely leaves food on a plate and the chicken in this salad was overcooked and unseasoned; the consistency/texture and flavor rendered it inedible to me and I tossed away at least 75%. So $11 was actually too much. If you want a quiet place from which to enjoy a coffee drink or some other prepared food Los Gamos Cafe - inside Kaiser Permanente - is worth knowing about but I'd stop well short of recommending it for a salad.

I received credit online for the disappointing food and placed another order on Friday for pick up. It was placed at 1:54pm after the normal lunch rush with an estimated ready time of 2:15. I left my office at 2:15 to pick it up since it hadn't updated on the app. Usually it's always ready by the time I get there so I got to the restaurant about 10-15minutes later. It was empty, no other food on the shelf expect my order. I went to pick it up and everything was checked off on the receipt. The sticker and bread were covering most of it so I didn't open the sealed lid to check. Once I got to my office I opened the container and saw that there was no chicken even though it was ordered and the receipt shows it was checked off. I was hungry and really disappointed that the main part of the meal was missing. No notes about it. Then at 3:37pm I get an email that it's ready to be picked up.... If I had waited until then that means my food would have been sitting out at room temp for almost an 1.5hrs which is unacceptable. If they were waiting to cook more chicken I don't think it would take 1.5hrs and they definitely shouldn't have had the food sitting out. There should be some communication if there are issues or if they are out of something. It shouldn't be checked off if it isn't in the container. On the app they offered me the same $10 credit I received for the other order with very small portions, but I feel that I can't trust them anymore to fulfill the order. I used to order from them often and haven't had any issues until this month.
