The pastrami and Swiss on rye.
Ellen D.

I have read other Yelp reviewers opinions of this store/deli, most if not all of them say the sandwiches are delicious and priced reasonably. Today craving a salad, I headed up to this store at the corner of Monroe and Oregon Street. My choice? The BamBino! A craveworthy salad made with Italian sub ingredients and loaded! At $11.99 this giant salad is enough to serve two hearty eaters. I added a toasted pastrami and Swiss on rye bread, deleting a few of the regular toppings. Delicious, though I should have paid for extra pastrami. The young woman behind the deli prepares your order quickly and with a smile! Don't forget to tip. This store offers one of the most unique selection of items within-look for gourmet canned items and bottled oils, alcoholic drinks, unique jellies, etc. while you wait. Just a fun place to find an interesting addition to a meal or gift for a foodie friend. Free Street parking. Easy to find.

A MUST STOP! Wanted something quick, fresh, local, and CHEAP! This place was perfect! We had 4 great sandwiches, two bags of chips, and four drinks and spent just over $50. That's great! Loved the sandwiches, loved the friendly service. I would for sure go back here! I love supporting cute little local stops! If you do too, then go here for sure!!!

I was really hungry and just needed a sandwich. I didn't want a ban mi or Subway, just something different. Searched on Yelp and Monroe's came up. It was a little far from work but I wanted to get away from there so I ventured out. It's a great location though parking can be a challenge. I just parked a little in the red in front. The people are really nice. I ordered a turkey and ham sandwich with cheddar. It was made with such care that everything in the sandwich was a perfect balance. They also have some sandwich combinations that look good too! I wandered around while waiting and found Olipop...that lemon ginger soda was really good, as was the cream soda. I normally don't drink soda but I'll make an exception for something different. Definitely worth coming to!

BLT plus extra vegis, yummmmm

Best corner store ever! Teddy, Evan, Sherry, Kelly and the entire squad are the absolute best. If you ever need anything at all, they probably have it. And if they don't, just ask and chances are they will find it for you. Sandos = 10/10, we probably eat one at least once a week...

Attractively Priced and so delicious I'm really serious when I say this was so good! Family owned market deli. The owners were so warm and welcoming, I even saw them melt when a local came by with their dog, giving the doggo a treat. Just lovely! It's hard to find a sandwich of this size generously stuffed for well under $15! I can see why this was rated high on Yelp. Support local.

Chipotle Chicken Sandwich

Just discovered this wonderful deli and market while walking my granddaughter. I ordered the Chipotle Chicken with bacon and avocado on toasted sourdough. It was one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. The staff is nice, the area clean and all the ingredients are fresh. The market has many items you don't find in other stores today. I will be back.

Cajun chicken wrap
Stacey M.

Stopped by and got a wrap Togo on a Saturday afternoon. I got the Cajun chicken which is usually a sandwich but I ordered it wrap style. I placed my order over the phone which was quick and easy! It only took about 20 minutes which was fairly quick for a weekend lunch rush hour. The wrap was heavy on the lettuce. I felt like because of this, some of the other flavors were a bit lost. I would give it another try! Cute, quaint, deli spot in north park. Very convenient if you're in the area.

YUMMM! The chipotle chicken sandwich (with red vine vinaigrette added) was perfection! Everything I want from a sandwich! Super kind staff and easy to order, grabbed some drinks at the market to have with our lunch

Build Your Own Sandwich

Note: photos are of half of each sandwich These were delicious and fresh sandwiches with a very home-made feel. All of the ingredients were tasty, the only thing I would ask for is a little more meat. I would come back here! Taste: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Value: 4/5

Location and hours

I had a #18 Mediterranean Chicken Wrap on spinach tortilla. It was very crisp, tasty and satisfying. I was only able 1/2 because they are a pretty hearty size. Very friendly staff and a lot of "sides" and drinks to pick from in the store. My new go to place when I'm in the area for sure!

Nice people but the sandwich is not worth the price. Very little protein and expensive. Would rather eat elsewhere or at Jersey Mikes.

Great place! I got the tuna melt and it was fresh. Beware places that only use tuna/mayo spackle…read more But this is not that kind of place! 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. The other person got the wasabi roast beef sandwich which they loved as well. Both sandwiches had the right balance of bread/fillings. Stoked I found a new sandwich spot. 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.

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!

Heard this place had a great breakfast so decided to stop by…read more Had the breakfast sandwich and the Smoked Bologna sandwich. Both were HUGE! I'd definitely recommend both. 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!

We got there just in time to order before they stop taking orders. We ordered: 1 Dry Aged Burger 1 Roast Beef Sandwich 1 Double Cheeseburger 2 beverages The customer service here is great. The food was absolutely delicious. I wish that they had an indoor seating spot or some umbrella coverage on the patio dining section. They have an "Ox Box" monthly meat club. They prepare 10lbs of premium meat cuts and package it up in the Ox Box. We talked to the gentleman who took our order and we may sign up. Pickup of Ox Boxes is the 3rd Thursday of each month. Check this place out. The burgers and sandos are OUTSTANDING! Thanks
