The menu has plenty of options, ranging from healthy and light to hearty, so it was easy for everyone in our group to find something. We got an assortment of sandwiches and wraps, and everything was fresh and flavorful. The real shock: our son ate his *entire* Cuban sandwich -- after picking out all the pickles, of course. Portions are large, so come hungry (or plan to share). Just know what you're getting into: it's nothing fancy. Seating is mostly covered outdoor tables with only one table indoors, so it's more of a casual grab-lunch-and-sit-outside spot than a sit-down restaurant. For a quick, tasty, filling lunch break, we'd absolutely stop in again.

I add mustard and pepperoncinis, and seriously, it's the best sandwich ever! Everything tastes so fresh and flavorful, with the perfect combination of meats, cheese, toppings, and dressing in every bite. It comes with oil and vinaigrette, which really bring all those flavors together. The bread has the perfect crunch without being too hard and holds up beautifully without getting soggy. It's also HUGE and easy to split! If it's just you, save the other half in an airtight container or bag in the fridge. In my experience, it's just as good the next day, and the bread doesn't get soggy. I've had this sandwich countless times, and it consistently hits the spot. I've also tried the spicy soppressata sandwich and really enjoyed it, but I always find myself going back to the Deluxe. We grab pasta salad when we pick up our sandwiches, too. It's a favorite of mine and rounds out the meal perfectly! Service: Service at the deli is always quick, and the cashiers are friendly and efficient. It's easy to stop in, grab our food, and be on our way. Ambience: It's a true Italian deli with a market and a full restaurant attached. I still need to try the restaurant! There's a parking lot in front, which is convenient, but spots can be very limited on Friday and Saturday nights. That's Little Italy parking for you, though. Some of the toughest in San Diego! One of my favorite sandwich spots, and somewhere I'll happily keep coming back to!

Be sure to take a number when you first walk in (unless you pre-ordered). When your number is called, you will place your order. While I waited for my number to be called, I noticed items such as gelato, Italian candies, imported cheeses and more available for purchase in the deli. They also had an array of different wines and cheeses. - Restaurant Side- My husband and daughter chose the restaurant for lunch. In the afternoon, it seems to be more cafe style. They offer great lunch specials! During another dining trip here, we ordered a pizza that was made with fresh cheese. So delicious! Service: could use some improvement, but not horrible. Location: this restaurant is located on a busy corner in the area known as 'Little Italy' in San Diego, CA. Outdoor seating and parking spaces are limited.

I can tell by the red onion it had chopped and mixed into the tuna. That doesn't store long so I can tell the tuna has a fast turnover rate. Their sesame noodles are fantastic too! A must try.

Service was friendly and prompt.

I stopped by here this past Monday for lunch as part of a party of eight. We were in Balboa Park,…read moreand I was looking for a fast-casual type of place when BFG came up, so we headed on over. This restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, with giant menus on the wall inside as well as a cooler case. You place your order, and then they bring it out to you. We decided to sit inside, so while I think the outside tables may have had fire pits, I can't actually confirm that. My daughter and I ended up getting there first, and she was hungry, so I ordered the Basic for her while I went with the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich. Mine was described as roast chicken, Point Reyes blue cheese, Fresno chili hot sauce, red onion, carrot, cabbage, lettuce, garlic aioli, and ciabatta, while my daughter's was described as a fluffy three-egg patty topped with cheddar cheese on ciabatta. Service was pretty quick, and I think we had our food within about ten minutes of ordering. My daughter enjoyed the egg sandwich and almost completely finished it by herself, which is saying something. The cheese was melted nicely and had a good pull to it. Then my chicken sandwich ended up being pretty good as well. The chicken was tender, and the hot sauce was flavorful, albeit not as spicy as I was expecting from a Fresno chili hot sauce. I also enjoyed the slaw and aioli and thought the ciabatta was solid as well. My wife also enjoyed her sesame chicken salad here, especially the chicken, while my son ate some of his kids' grilled cheese. The bottom line for me is that I would stop by here again in the future. Our food here was good, and I appreciated not only the fast-casual nature of the restaurant but the price as well.

I got the far out sandwich and it was really good but the portion size for it being $20 is overpriced. My friend's chicken Caesar wrap was about $20 too.

Coming back to send my love to my favorite sub place…read more I've sadly moved to a different part of town so Fatboy's is no longer a few blocks away. I still try to stop by every few months as this place holds a special place in my heart. A no frills spot. Solid and consistent. To the point but friendly customer service. Fantastic drink, chip and snack selection. Sandwiches are always bomb asf. The hot momma and BLT loaded up is my favorite. My husband still loves their Ruben (it is his favorite place to get it.) You get a small potato or macaroni salad on the side with a pickle (perfect crunch.) I personally think it's a great little add on. Their chili is also simple but delicious. I personally think their chili pairs perfectly with any of their sandwiches. It's not a heavy thick chili. Which is why I think it pairs so well. I won't lie it's a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. It's loaded up and good quality. I never feel gross or overly bloated after eating here. I will be coming back to Fatboy's until I move out of San Diego or die. lol. One of my favorite gems in SD. Always will be worth the drive or walk. Thank you for always delivering even years later.

I used to frequent Fatboy's because it was close and convenient for a long time, but I am rarely able to visit anymore... parking is a bigger challenge every day in North Park, and finding even a 15-minute spot takes way longer than the drive for me now (but the walk is too far to pick up a quick meal). Today I was down the street for something else so decided to order a sandwich. I was excited, then my jaw dropped when I saw the price increases. It's $18 for the North Park Club now, with no extras. I already had a hard time justifying $15 for a sandwich but I'm officially, 100% priced out now. I know it's not necessarily on the business owners; rent is exorbitant in NP, profit margins are small in the food service industry, and operating costs are high. Our city is eating itself alive, but thank you for the years of sandwiches!

Please note they are a tad greasy and again, large. So don't come in for just a snack! The meat on both were the superstars. They also are a full butchery (they even have a subscription box!). So there are meats in the case and marinated options galore. We came for breakfast but left with some chicken and red meat options for dinner this week. It's a tad expensive for both sandwiches and the meats but all in all seem right for the quality. Service was also fast and friendly. Very knowledgeable and ready to help. We got street parking but there's also a small lot it's attached to. There's some counter seating outside you can eat at once you order. Would def recommend!
