The Latino
KC W.

I'm a creature of habit who's been trying to expand my sandwich horizons and only recently learned about PHD despite living in the area my whole life. I stopped by for a late weekday lunch and there were still a couple customers seated when I arrived but no one was in line, but it still took a few min before anyone acknowledged that I was there and waiting to order. It was nice tho that they brought completed orders to folks who were waiting outside instead of calling out names/numbers, and I liked that the sandwich meats were cooked to order so they were fresh (even if it meant waiting a little longer). I ordered the Latino on Dutch crunch and took it home to eat (~10 min walk). I was worried bc the menu listed the ingredients with chicken breast, but it was cooked well and not dry. It had a good balance of lettuce and pickles too. Unfortunately the bread wasn't crunchy :( and overall the sandwich was a bit salty for my taste and made me extra sleepy after I finished half lol. It was a hearty portion for the price though! There are a few counter seats inside and a couple table seats outside, but this definitely seems like more of a takeout spot. I'm confused about service bc other reviewers seem to have had a different experience than the standoffish experience that I had. While the portion and price are reasonable, this didn't wow me, and I'm a picky eater so there are only a couple other options on the menu that I'd eat, so I would probably stick to my usual neighborhood spots instead.

PHD GREENS
Sabrina M.

Really good deli off of Fillmore St. the sandwich was very big and filling and I love that all of their sandwiches come with "the works". I ordered the PHD greens sandwich which is one of their few vegetarian sandwich options. There's also a falafel wrap which I believe is vegan. I think this is a great affordable lunch spot in the area with quick service. There's cozy indoor seating and outdoor seating. I just wish there were more vegetarian and vegan options!

I've been to Pac Heights deli a couple times now and it's safe to say, I'm a fan! The first couple of times I got their tuna melt sandwich and it was delicious and something I'd order again and again. But when we were walking by we saw they added a chopped cheese sandwich to the menu, and I knew I had to try it. Safe to say, their chopped cheese sandwich alone is something I'd come for on a regular basis. A lot of spots have been taking their try at it, and it's been alright. Pac Heights deli does it right, and to me it's because it's simple with fresh quality meats and veggies. It comes on your choice of bread, I got sourdough, and I felt like it was the right choice. For $14, it's massive and easily enough for two meals. Highly recommend giving this a try if you fancy yourself a chopped cheese fan like myself. I also got their sausage breakfast sandwich on an English muffin, that was hella good too. Two sausage patties, plenty of melted cheese, very filling for a breakfast sandwich. I added some mayo at home and would recommend that to add a level of creaminess to the sandwich. The staff here is super friendly and even offered to give my dogs some turkey while we waited for our order outside of the storefront. The place itself is small, with a few places to sit inside but more so a place to takeout and eat at home or the park. They have an online ordering system, but if you have time, order in-person because it's slightly cheaper to do so.

Chopped Cheese Sandwich
John P.

Small little hole in the wall shop. Seems like a mom and pop family run type of local small business. One table inside and one outside plus a row of stools. I got the special which is the Chopped Cheese Sandwich which was kind of like a cheese steak, and a coke for under $20. Good deal, delicious, and filling! Very service as well. Recommended.

The Big Burrito
Christina L.

Lovely cafe! A hole in the wall amidst Pac Heights. Store has some popular smoothie choices, bagel sandwiches, and regular sandwiches. Order the big burrito ($14) which contains bacon, veggies, cheese, and potato wedges. Although breakfast ends at 12pm, it does seem they continue breakfast past the 12pm mark. Items are cooked to order, so it does take a couple minutes. I ate there and it also came with a small salad on the side. The breakfast burrito was really delicious, has an added some hot sauce for more flavor. Mixture of mushroom, bell peppers, and onions. The bacon was like thick bacon and had a good salty flavor. Very stuffed burrito. The staff was also helpful by helping me wrap and bag my leftovers.

The Latino Sandwich
Rachel K.

We ordered 2 sandwiches to go. The Latino and Al's Special on the Dutch crunch bread. Both sandwich's were so tasty and big. Latino was juicy and fresh with crunchy veggies, Al's was more hearty with the pastrami. This would be a 5 star if the crunch bread was crunchy. Maybe since I got the sandwich to go, the bread got a little soft on the commute home. I'd be interested in going back and eating there in person.

Jack P.

really great taste, quality, and portion for price. lots of options to scratch that sandwitch

The Big Burrito
Leilua L.

Cute little sandwich spot with wonderful customer service. It was past noon but they still let us order a breakfast sandwich which I was super grateful for! The super burrito was a big and filling burrito. I got the pac heights classic sandwich with sausage and bacon and it was delicious. There's some seating inside and out and a bathroom. I would come here again for a breakfast sandwich for sure.

The California
Madison M.

Stopped in on Thanksgiving because I needed a quick bite after having a drink nearby to watch the Packers game. This place is the bomb. It's a New York x San Francisco deli feeling. The price is RIGHT! The owners were the nicest I split a sandwich with my partner and they brought it out all dressed up on two separate plates. The sandwich was BIG packed full, the lettuce is good romaine, not just some iceberg bs. The sourdough was great and fresh. The place is small but has one table and a cute little bar seating area that looks out towards the street. This place is just off of Fillmore and is 100% worth a stop in if you're craving a sandwich. They also have smoothies, coffees, and a large breakfast menu. It's family owned and operated, go support this place, it's a gem.

Inside

Small, clean, and cute deli in Pacific Heights. I was instantly drawn to the wall where there's a Golden Gate Bridge wearing a chef's hat with "PHD" on it. Your girl here mistakenly read it as "PHO" thinking it's an American deli + Vietnamese noodles type of place. Then I'm like "PHD" oOoOohhhh. Got it. Haha. Very clever. I also like the scooter (or is that a moped?) Can't tell if it's decor or an employee decided that it's safer to park it inside. Anyhoo, it works. Owner seems like a nice guy. My hubby chatted with him while he was making our sandwich. We got the create your own pastrami sandwich here for my Hb and an Americano for me. We will be back to try other items. Located on California and Fillmore near all the cutesy expensive boutiques.

The Al's Special Sandwich was delicious! The ingredients came together nicely to deliver a tasty sandwich and it was very filling. I look forward to trying more from Pac Heights Deli. Keep up the good work!

If you're looking for a top notch coffee to pair with a delicious bagel sandwich you need to check out Pac Heights Deli. They have incredibly fast service and make an excellent latte. I always stop by here when In town. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Can't recommend them enough! There are tables inside which are great for coffee dates or quick lunch breaks.

The California Sandwich- fresh veggies, generous size, and flavorful.

The iced Thai tea was well-balanced and not overwhelmingly sweet. The chicken waffle was also good--especially the chicken itself. It was lightly battered and crisp to perfection. I do wish the waffle was more toasted since it was a bit soggy even with barely any syrup. The fruits were fresh and tasted really yummy. As for the PaNang omelette, it was delicious!! It's filled with meat and vegetables, so it's pretty hearty. The curry was so good and had just the right amount of spice. I would highly recommend the PaNang omelette. Parking was difficult since it's in the Tenderloin, but it was definitely worth it. The workers are nice, and the place is really cute.

I made a reservation through Yelp but it seemed like they don't really check yelp for that so I would recommend to call for a table. Luckily, we showed up 30 mins early and there was a corner table near the kitchen available for my party of 5. I had the smoked salmon toast because I'm a basic bitch but whatever it was really yummy with a nice fresh half of avocado, salmon, capers.. all the fixings. The only issue about it was the two giant patty sized slices of red onion was intense. I only ate one ring of it because that's all it needed but I guess it's better for the option of more than too little? Idk not that serious. It came with a side salad that looked undressed but whatever magical dressing they put on it.. hello I need the recipe!! Peach Bellini pitcher was yummy and the brut was acceptable. My party of 5, including 2 brunch fiends and two fabulous locals, said they all really liked the food. If I'm in the area I would definitely come again! What we ordered: Chai latte Mocha Regular latte Peach Bellini liter Smoked salmon toast Smoked salmon cruffle (croissant smashed in a waffle iron) with an added poach egg Holy Chili bomb basil omelette Thai panang omelette Meat lovers omelette The restaurant is cute with a beautiful natural light. I just wish we had a better table but again, it was acceptable. We did metered parking 2 blocks away for $6 for 2.5 hours.

I loved the decor all around the restaurant with adorable cow art and a very clean feel. The servers and hosts were coming over to chat with us and just made us feel so welcome and special. From the second you walk in until the second you leave you are in good hands. It's also right across from the train so it's super easy to get there! I don't normally like horseradish, but the burger came with the perfect amount of horseradish where it tasted very fresh and added a good burst of flavor without being overwhelming! The fries were delicious and crispy. 10 out of 10 food, service, and environment. I would give them more stars if I could.

If you happen to stumble upon Marlowe like we did I'm confident that you will leave as full and…read moresatisfied as we did. A charming little bistro inspired by the Marlowe cows, I'm assuming, managed to stun us with several memorable dishes. The warm deviled eggs were an excellent start. Savory yet delicate enough to not weigh us down right at the beginning of our meal. The horseradish aioli wasn't for me, but I can see its appeal for a certain audience. You give me a Calabrian chili sauce and it's guaranteed to make me happy and this shrimp with sweet corn was no exception. Again, light but a punchy flavor that was enjoyable. I could go on and on about the different dishes we tried but the real standout of the night was the pork tenderloin with chorizo and peaches. The sweetness from the peaches somehow managed to enhance the flavor of the chorizo. This dish gives you a bold, savory and sweet bite all together but still won't have you feeling super heavy. The portion size is perfect. Im hoping to return soon for another exquisite meal.

We ordered the egg sandwich,and the plow. I felt like the plow gives you a chance to try most of the popular items on the menu. The potatos were crispy and litely salted. The lemon ricotta pancakes were slightly dense . The lemon flavor was intense,not sure if there was lemon zest in the batter. The egg sandwich tasted great with the apple. It was messy.
