See all

Really cute atmosphere! Seating is available both inside and outside. Food was good and fresh. Worth the visit. Note: cash only read more

This place is delicious. Definitely a hit spot if you're wanting to have lunch and you're passing through or in Willits. Wait staff is nice and friendly and the restaurant is in a decent area. Only downside is that they only take cash. There is an ATM inside but there is a small fee. read more

Best sandwiches we have ever had! Amazing service, great vibes. Seriously can not stress enough how great this place is. We will definitely be back. read more

Been going here forever 30+ years, they have been doing hot subs before anyone else. I couldn't recommend a better place to grab lunch in a nice friendly locals spot, all the waitresses are super nice. So glad it's still running in Willits. Always worth pulling over in Willits for a turkey depot sandwhich. read more

What a treat! Wet stumbled across this place after our intended spot was closed. Chilli was great, sandwiches were great, soup was great. Yum yum yum read more

Loose Caboose Cafe - Bread stick dipped in chilli! Yum! - Sandwiches Near Me - Willits, California

If you're hungry and driving through Willits, you need to stop here. We stopped somewhere else and quickly realized we made a mistake. So we left and found this place! Best decision. I had the French Dip - delicious. My husband had the meatball sandwich. Really good. Great sandwiches. Good prices. Good place to eat. read more

On our way to Mendocino from Sacramento we stopped at this lovely little place and I had the best vegetarian sandwich I've ever had. Quaint with great service and great food read more

We love Loose Caboose! Great sandwiches, salads, or soups. You won't be disappointed in anything you order. The staff is friendly and service is great! We miss the dine in. But take out is great and patio seating is wonderful as well! read more

Amazing gem of a place for locals and passerby's. Cozy, comfy, great indoors and patio and amazing food every time. Cash only, so don't forget to bring it. They do have an ATM, but it charges a bit. read more

Driving back from Ft. Bragg we stopped here based on Yelp reviews - it was way more than we expected. Everything homemade. Delicious soups. Perfectly toasted bread on our sandwiches. We shared a salad and the veggies and lettuce were very fresh, and the salad dressing almost certainly homemade. The French dip is to die for. We will be back when we are in the area! read more

Always a fav in my town. Consistently great food and salads. The shakes are amaze as well as soups !! Adorable cafe

I had a combo pizza ... super good. I was staying at a hotel and the Loose Caboose was in one of our room menus.

This place is soooooo good. I've been waiting 6.5 years to eat here because my husband and my best friend are from this town and swear by it. Today is our last day in town, and it's my second time going. The Santa Fe sandwhich is so good and so is the Reuben sandwhich but the Santa Fe is where it's at! Also, some idiot left a review complaining about their corn dogs and cookies. He's clearly a yuppy hipster because their sandwiches are what they're known for. Not freshly battered corn dogs and baked cookies. Idiot. read more

The problem with the loose caboose is that their food is too good, seriously I never thought I would ever say this but it's true. Everything I eat for a week after I dine at the loose caboose tastes horrible in comparison. Try eating a French dip anywhere else after you have had the loose caboose French dip..... It's impossible. Thanks guys keep up the good work..... read more

Well worth hopping off the 101 to have lunch. I had potato cheese soup and was that ever good!

Fantastic local cafe that serves fresh, delicious food. Tried the Santa Fe Chicken sandwich and my husband had a meatball sub. We loved both - fresh, flavorful, good sized portions. If you are anywhere near Willets, its worth a stop! We will definitely come back again! read more

Pretty good sandwich's but I do have to say I've been coming here for fifteen years and I keep waiting for something spectacular to happen on the menu. When in a small town with few dining options a little change an added bonus can be a big treat. read more

OMG, the best best, best veggie sandwich. I think it was the veggie extreme, avacode with sunflower seeds on a wheat toast. So big I even had leftovers. read more

I adore this place! Not only do we always have friendly service but the food is consistently delightful! If you are traveling and want a nice hearty hit the spot soup or a warm stick to the ribs sandwich, MAKE a reservation! Don't miss this hidden treasure in Willits Try the chai milkshake! :) read more

i'm a vegetarian and i was feeling little icky with the lack of options in the area. loose caboose and her veggie station sandwich changed all of that. seriously best veggie sandwich ive had in my life and maybe even around the world. great service too. A+ read more

This place didnt even get my business. My sister and I came in, no one bothered to help us, then they stared at each other when we asked for a table. No one came back to take our order! The girls all working there just flirted with the tatted and pierced guys at another table the whole time. Well good thing they took their sweet time because I realized they dont even take credit cards here, so we left. Thanks for not giving us an ounce of service. read more

My first experience with Loose Caboose will also be my last. My daughter and I went there today and ordered three sandwiches. I was excited to find a Reuben made with Pastrami instead of corned beef. When we ordered we were told approx. 15 minutes to get our order. So we left and returned fifteen minutes later only to be told it would be another ten minutes. We left again and returned approx fifteen minutes later. Our sandwiches were finally done. We went home to enjoy them and what a disappointment. When I unwrapped my sandwich there was minimum amount of meat, minimum amount of sauerkraut, and a minimum amount of cheese. The size of the sandwich was also a disappointment. The bread was also hard. For almost thirty two dollars I was expecting more of everything except wait time. The food was okay but not for me. read more

Stopped in on our way north. This place has a really good veggie sandwich. The food does not come with a side, but the sandwich was filling on its own. I'd recommend the Loose Caboose Cafe. read more

The greatest sandwich I have ever had. The first time I went to Loose Caboose I had gone with my college roommate back to her hometown. It is 12 years later and I still return to Willits dreaming of those sandwiches. I dont understand how people can live in Willits and not eat these constantly. My love and passion for their Turkey Depot and Chattanooga Chicken run deep. read more

Loose caboose is one of my all time favorite places to eat! I've eaten here for close to 18 years and never have I had a bad experience! It is a hidden gem, down a one way street in the heart of Willits. The restaurant is very small but the good ones usually are : ) they make the best subs and salads! Take a break from work and have lunch or pick it up for a day in the sunshine! My favorite sub is the turkey depot ; ) read more

Always the best place for lunch in WIllits. Salads are fantastic and specials are intriguing.

We had intended to eat at Ardella's, but it was closed and we ate here instead. What a nice turn of events! Loose Caboose has wonderful food and a great staff. The dining room is kind of small and is stuffed with tables, to the point that it causes difficulty walking around (as when going to the rest room and the servers were always bumping into things and customers.) They have patio dining, too. This was a very pleasant experience, and we will be back! read more

We are on a road trip, and decided to stop here. My husband got a French dip sandwich with tomato and avocado added on , and said it was the best French dip sandwich he's ever had!! I had the chicken marinara sub with no olives, and I'd say the same! We also got the soup of the day , which was delicious as well. We are half way thru our two week road trip, and have ate out for almost every meal. This is by far the best place we have ate at!!! I wish we had one in Kansas City, and I wish we could give this more than 5 stars!! A table next to us paid for our meal. Thanks! Tabitha was a great waitress!!! read more

A turkey depot and a small bowl of the soup of the day. The soup changes weekly and is normally something very intriguing and tantalizing. This is one of my top 5 favorite meals in town. Inside or outside seating with heaters outside. Booths line the walls inside with tables set for 4 filling in the rest of the restaurant. If you want the best of Willits, this is a must stop. read more

I don't get excited about sandwiches, but this place HAS THE BEST SANDWICHES IN THE WORLD!!! It is hidden off a little side street but is fantastic. Have always gotten them to go and the are by far the best. Oh yeah, did I say that this place HAS THE BEST SANDWICHES IN THE WORLD!!! read more

Unless these sandwiches are made of gold, not worth the wait. I called in a to-go order...they said 25 minutes. Ok kind of a long wait, but probably will be worth it. I arrive 25 minutes later, and they reply "Oh it will be at least another 15. We haven't put it in the oven yet." In what world does it take 40 minutes to make a sandwich? Horrible. And now I'm going hungry :( read more

This place is awesome, people ask us where good lunch is in our little town and we always tell them to go here, its a teensy bit hard to find as it is off the main street, but at the same time for a little business to be so successful and given the location, they are surely doing something right. When we tell people they serve "soup and sandwiches" we really have to give a description because the sandwiches and salads are so top notch, the salad is always super fresh, never any gross lettuce and beautiful toppings, like avocado & bell peppers & black olives. Love their food!!! & so will you! read more

Delicious salad!! Can't wait to go back! Great service!! Husband loved his lunch too!

Wow. Unbelievable! Best tuna salad I have ever had. Great environment and all food at the table was delicious. I don't live anywhere near this town but may make a trip just to eat here again. read more

We stopped here for lunch while driving north on Hwy 101. It's amazing! I had the French dip, and it was probably one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! My husband had the chicken pesto sandwich, and loved it as well. Everything was fresh, including the bread, which was delicious. I had a side salad that was excellent, and I'm picky about salads. The service was fantastic as well. (Thank you, Victoria!) So glad we stopped! read more

The food and very friendly service here is ROCKIN'! And even if the quarters are a bit tight, I still recommend this place when you're in beautiful Downtown Willits! read more

Walked in without reservations at 12:30pm on a Friday. We needed them, but they made space for us at a booth inside. Super friendly!

Excellent, clean food including amazing salads and sandwiches! Delicious combinations and super friendly service with a unique atmosphere and reasonable prices. An all around wonderful experience. We'll definitely come back! read more

This place came highly recommended by a local friend. The food did not disappoint I ordered the chicken pesto sandwich with spicy ranch dip. I could Not have Been more pleased with my selection. The bread was fresh the chicken was lean and the pesto was not overpowering. My friend got the Ruben dog which she also loved. Tip: bring cash they don't take plastic. read more
