I don't know why there's so much hate for this delicious sandwich spot!!…read more It's my Togo when it's not busy !! (Sucks having 30 min lunch ) but would always grab a sandwich if there's no line!! Sandwich is packed with flavorful deli meat and the sauce is just !!

This is probably the only place where the sandwiches don't taste like the store's essence…read more I mean, don't get me wrong, a store's essence from any given deli/liquor store definitely adds unique character to the sandwich and sometimes I want that in a sandwich. But when you want a sandwich that only tastes like its ingredients, Irving Subs is the spot. Their Dutch crunch is famous for being fresh and actually crunchy. Their lettuce is shredded but fresh and crispy. The salt content is just enough to bring out the flavors. And the overall composition of their sandwiches are very well proportioned. You're not getting skimped, but you're also not biting into a mouthful of a packet of deli meat. They definitely know what they are doing. Service is good and ambiance is a small humble shop on the corner of 12th Ave.

Double pastrami, horseradish, havarti, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, and pepperoncini. A lot going on, and it all came together. The horseradish and havarti gave it enough personality to stand apart from a standard pastrami sandwich, and the garlicky mayo tied everything together. The one casualty of DoorDash was sogginess by the time it arrived. That's not a knock on the sandwich, it's just the reality of ordering something like this for delivery. At $14.50 it's a hearty sandwich at a fair price. I'd recommend it, but eat in.

I had an amazing time at The Boys Deli in San Francisco!…read more It's a fantastic sandwich shop, and even though they don't offer vegan lunch meat, they were so sweet and accommodating. I brought my own, and they crafted a custom sandwich for me with a smile. My friend had the Reuben with just mustard and mayo, and he said it was perfect a great picnic lunch by the waterfront. The guys there are so sweet, funny, and have top-notch service. Plus, some of them are pretty cute! They were also super patient helping three little old ladies before us, so kind. And their tip jar was full of money so you can see how excellent their service is. Make sure to TIP They deserve it! I'll definitely be coming back! 5 STARS!!

I ordered the Design Your Own sandwich loaded up with hot pastrami brisket, roast beef, lettuce, Lou's special sauce, pickles, red onions, tomatoes, swiss cheese, pepperoncinis and dijon mustard on dutch crunch bread. Also got the Roma's Club. Both sandwiches were packed with protein and held together really well throughout the whole meal, no sogginess, no falling apart mid bite. The dutch crunch bread was the perfect vehicle too, super crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Really impressive quality for the price. If you haven't tried their sandwiches yet you're missing out!

Most of us got the "Call Me Serge" which included roasted turkey, bacon, cheddar + Gouda, arugula, and a Calabrian chili orange jam, rosemary ranch, and creamy avocado-lime vinaigrette spread. It was warm and delicious! I think I would've left the arugula off next time as it tasted strong with the jam (but that's me with a sensitivity to arugula). I will definitely return to try something different to bring to my next Dolores picnic!
