    What's left of my sandwich lol this was the turkey.
    Christina M.

    I can't believe I didn't take a picture of the sandwiches last night. We went late at night when the deli was closed however they make fresh sandwiches and pack them so you will find some. The 395 had jalapeños I had to remove those but left some for my husband and he absolutely loved it. I still love the sandwich. The bread was delicious. My avocado was fresh. There was lots of meat and a thick slice of delicious cheese when I got home I added my own mayo and mustard, but they do come with packets, which has been used . These are giant sandwiches so you can actually share. we often use this market when we are making something and need some celery, some cilantro, some onion something that we just need and don't need to go to a giant grocery store for. The checkout counter is always kind and upbeat and friendly. Everyone is nice there if you're craving anything, you will definitely find it here a bottle of wine, some chocolate chips, food, avocados, fruit, or whatever you're looking for. what does a writing review? I still have a piece of so I started eating it. It's a Fallbrook fav.

    The sandwiches are so good. Had the lemon pepper turkey and it was delicious. Had to split it into two meals it was so stacked.

    Worst Italian sandwich ever. Too much mayonnaise and too much meat. Super unhealthy. I would never recommend.

    If you like Italian sandwiches, this is the place for you!…read more My boyfriend and I have been coming here consistently for over 8 years. And every time it is so delicious. I've even lived in Poway, San Diego and come all the way to Temecula for this sandwich. I always get the super Italian sub, the meats make it so worth it. You can really taste the care they put into every meal. They have so many authentic Italian dishes and products. I will absolutely continue to come here and support this business. They staff is very friendly and makes you feel welcome every visit. You can tell the business takes pride in their service. I know many people of the community love their service and food. It is definitely a little gem in Temecula. The restaurant feels like a family run deli that makes you crave some of the most delicious Italian dishes. I can't wait to come back and try more! Also please try their desserts, they are to die for! I love the cannolis!

We also got 2 sandwiches for dinner. The Campini special and the peppered turkey. It was my first time eating from this establishment. I had the spaghetti and was not impressed. It was super Al dente. It was not cooked enough to what the actual Al dente should be. The meatballs were so dense and very tough. The entire dish had zero flavor. The sandwiches were bland and tasteless. I'm not a hard person to please and this was definitely food we ended up throwing out. $84 dollars wasted. I don't give second chances so I won't be back.

    I didn't appreciate Major Market as much as I do now. I've known this store for as long as I could…read moreremember; I am a Fallbrook native and my mom would always take us here. As a kid I didn't like going here because I didn't think it was as "nice" as Lucky's (aka Albertson's)...how wrong I was!!! Major Market is so much better than Albertsons by a long shot. The produce is better, the hot food is better, and they have a lot of niche/local baked goods that you can't find in most mainstream grocery stores. Not only that but the prices are not too bad, especially for an independent grocery. Unfortunately the last time I visited here, I didn't see that many people. My mom told me that less people have been shopping here and are opting for the Grocery Outlet down the street. As much as I love Grocery Outlet, that makes me sad. Honestly if I lived in Fallbrook, I'd try to come to Major Market more! Love this place!

    The store seems very clean and organized. Hadn't shopped there in years but had business in…read moreFallbrook. I bought 6 fried chicken legs that were fresh. I didn't realize the kid put them in a plastic bag and then into another bag that fried chicken usually comes in like at Albertsons (they have great, crispy fried chicken). I finished my shopping and a nice kid helped me with my groceries to the car. I hadn't eaten since yesterday and I opened the bag of chicken and it was completely soggy! Disgusting. I couldn't even pick it up without it sliding from my fingers. I removed the plastic bag but it was too gross to eat. I went back into the store to ask for chicken this time that is NOT in a plastic bag. Not to mention hot plastic is full of chemicals! I spoke to the manager and she confirmed they put fried chicken in a plastic bag! Why?? Exactly who does that? I returned to the chicken stand with permission from the manager and asked the gal to give me replacement chicken (per Monica, store manager-I think that was her name) and the employee started rolling her eyes at the other employee. Shame on you, ma'am....do you treat everyone with disrespect? Very reluctant to help me. Absolutely no empathy, kindness or compassion or understanding of what happened. Was more interested in eye rolling with her compadre. While I was waiting, all of a sudden the chicken just dropped out of the bottom of the bag all over the floor! So it's no wonder they put the chicken in a plastic bag inside the actual chicken bag! THE BAG IS TOO FLIMSY AND CHEAP TO HOLD FRIED CHICKEN! GET SOME GOOD BAGS!!! After seeing this completely ridiculous attitude I asked they put the replacement chicken in one of the cardboard containers behind the case. Got more attitude. Then she started doing the price tag. I explained I had already spoken to the manager and it was an even exchange. Again, attitude like I was a real pain in the a$$. What the hell is wrong with people who act like I'm the problem!?!!' I have been in the service industry my entire life and NEVER have I treated anyone (even a legitimate pain in the a$$) like I was treated today. I even apologized for the chicken falling on the floor. I was mortified. Another manager (older guy) was in the isle pretending not to hear the issue and he didn't make an effort to help. So I asked him if anyone had complained about this. Nope! I was the only one....EVER! Here's my question; who eats soggy fried chicken? Not Col. Sanders! Nobody like soggy fried chicken. I ate one piece of the new chicken and it lacked flavor. Threw the rest out. It's hard to find good help that treat the customer with kindness. Kindess doesn't cost anything...but it makes you feel good when you are nice to people. So sorry I shopped there today and bothered you ladies who graced everyone with your presence today. The floral manager is a very sweet lady as she directed me to a manager.

I'm not sure you'll be able to see exactly how disgusting the floor was in my picture, but I will post it. I can't believe that they are so busy, all day long, that they don't have 5-10 minutes to clean the floor at any point during the day! Based on how hard my roll was, I can't believe that it is busy at all! You'll see in my video that I'm actually knocking on the table with my roll. The workers seemed overwhelmed by the number of orders and there was some crazy guy in there talking to himself the whole time while I was waiting. I'm not mad about that, but it didn't help the whole experience. Don't think I'll forget how horrible it was this time. Good thing my sub was free because I'd be really pissed if I had actually paid money for it. Actually I guess I kind of did pay for it since I used my bonus points to get this sub. Definitely don't eat here. If you do decide to try it, look at the floor behind the counter before you place your order. Pretty sure the health department would shut them down. If I had seen a manager I would've told him, but unfortunately I did not. I always like to give businesses a chance to fix stuff, but I had the exact same experience the last time I was in here, but this time it was much worse. For the price you pay for a sandwich there, they need to do better. Clean the floor. Bake fresh bread. Do better Jersey Mikes. You just lost a customer for good.

We stopped here on the way home from Pechanga while charging our Tesla and since it was in the same plaza, we figured we'd check it out. I assumed it was more of a franchise bakery than a standalone artisan spot, so I came in with pretty low expectations. I was just planning to grab a cinnamon roll, a loaf of their Cinnamon Burst Bread and a quick sandwich for the drive home. To my surprise, their house-made sandwiches are served on freshly baked bread, made with fresh ingredients, and cost under $10 (Panera could never!!!). Their baked goods were also reasonably priced with generous portions. We picked up the Cinnamon Burst Bread, a cinnamon roll, a honey bran muffin (which completely stole the show for me; it was incredibly moist and I'd come back just for that) and an almond poppy seed scone. The service here was just as impressive. Everyone was so friendly and personable and you could tell they genuinely enjoyed being there. I also loved their "Giving Rack," where anyone in need can take free baked goods. It's such a thoughtful idea and says a lot about the kind of business they are. This is easily one of my favorite bakery finds and it'll definitely be a regular stop whenever I'm back in the area.
