I think this place has probably made their portions smaller because I got a Bay Area and partner got a over the golden gate sandwich and it was more bread than anything else. The bread itself was super stale, don't recommend. The prices were around 11 for each sandwich plus tax but just isn't worth, could make a better sandwich at home read more

I got the Parkside Special, and well, the Parkside (Market) is special :") I love a good corner store deli and for a warm day a nice fresh sandwich is perfect - in particular, honey turkey, jalapeños, garlic spread, pepper jack, basil pesto, spicy mayo all on a toasted Dutch crunch roll. I will say the pesto was quite subtle but with everything else, there was no shortage of flavor. Made fresh and reasonably priced - thankful for a still-standing neighborhood gem! read more

As a 15-year NoPa resident and 14-year Parkside fan (don't fault me that first year -- I was still getting my neighborhood bearings), it breaks my freakin' heart to call this place a pale shadow of the "wish I could give 6 stars!" sandwich shop it used to be. The old Parkside was mythical -- huge, parchment-wrapped sammies stacked beside all the bodega gubbins a corner market should have. It felt like a truly family-run joint that had been, and always would be, there for the neighborhood. And then... it wasn't. Sometime around 2022, the familiar cars stopped parking out front. By 2023, the deli setup had been pushed out of sight and the Boar's Head logo disappeared (fair enough, considering their own PR woes). By 2024, the family mural was painted over. Don't take this as journalism -- my dates may be fuzzy. My taste buds aren't. The 11-out-of-10 glow is gone. Parkside is still fine if you need a quick Hardly Strictly or Bay-to-Breakers bite, but it's no longer a destination. I still stop in. The sandwiches aren't bad -- they're just not special anymore. And for longtime loyalists, that stings. Posting two stars: one for nostalgia, and one for hope. read more

The guy is nice, sandwiches are affordable. They're not the great. My partner likes the breakfast one.

This was crazy! We're going to a baseball game at USF and just wanted a sandwich to take to the game. Went into this tiny little corner market never would've thought they had a deli in there. The sandwich we ordered was perfect would definitely recommend! read more

I will definitely be back. The subs were extremely big. I absolutely love this place. Every time I'm gone the service has been spectacular.

Huge, quality sandwiches for a great value. I got the City Boy (roast beef with BBQ sauce) with everything on it, and they did not skimp on the toppings to the point where they were overflowing from the bread. A bit messy, but the best things in life often are. I also appreciate how they include avocado in their sandwiches at no extra charge, which is rare in SF. All this for $10.99 before tax, which will fill you up for one meal and could even make two meals if you're not too hungry. I called ahead to place an order, and it was ready in 10 minutes after calling. I originally asked about the Dirty South sandwich from a previous menu, and the man who answered said he could try to make it even though it wasn't on the menu. It turns out he wasn't able to because they don't have brisket anymore, but it was a nice gesture for him to even consider making something that wasn't on the menu. read more

When you have an irresistible hankering for a hearty sandwich, this place definitely fits the bill! Like many other corner stores in the area, Parkside has its own deli and market. The market is clean and well-organized, and has a decent variety of drinks and snacks. I ordered the chicken pesto sandwich with all the fixings on Dutch crunch ($10.99) -- simple but satisfying. Chicken was juicy, but the basil pesto flavor was a bit subtle. Lots of specialty sandwiches to choose from the menu, or you can customize your order. Would highly recommend calling in at least 10 minutes before to place your order, especially during the lunch rush. read more

I was running errands around the area today and wanted to get a sandwich since I was hungry. I went in looking for the Double Trouble since that one looked tasty from the pics on Yelp but was told it was now called "94117". I ordered it on dutch crunch and it was ready in about 10 minutes. I walked over to The Parkside and sat on a bench outside to enjoy the sandwich. The Dutch crunch bread was warm and soft. Plenty of turkey, bacon, and pepperoncinis, etc in the sandwich. Pretty good value for the price and was full. read more

Best neighborhood spot for a good sandwich!! :) Great to grab on the way to Alamo or GGP

Parkside Market is a non-descript corner store on Hayes near Baker, but Hayes has several corner stores. This one has sandwiches and today I decided to try a sandwich here. You know me and sandwiches. I opted for tuna today and it came on a french bread roll with veggies and some sauce that I picked like bbq and hot sauce. The guy working here was nice and friendly. I also got some drinks and snacks. San Francisco is full of corner stores and you know I like to try them and play with the corner store. read more

Great neighborhood, with some of the best customer service in the City! Always clean and open late.

The people who work here are always really nice, and the sandwiches are amazing. I really enjoy stopping by here to grab a sandwich then finding a nice spot to enjoy the delicacy at Golden Gate Park (which is closeby this corner store) read more

I'm a snobby with food, not proud of that but it's the truth. I didn't think I'd like a sandwich from a corner store because of past experience at other stores. I was so wrong. This place is so good. AMAZING sandwich and wonderful employees. I got the park side special and it was stunning. read more

I got the Hayes and Lyon on Dutch crunch, and it was everything I could have hoped for! A big sandwich for a fair price! It comes on your choice of bread with turkey, ham, cheese, and avocado. I got mine with "everything" -- tomato, lettuce, onion, pickles, pickled jalapeño. It was super fresh and I can't wait to come try more! read more

Parkside is my go to spot for a good sandwich. It's inside of a corner market, so my expectations were pretty low the first time I went. However, I've become a repeat customer and have enjoyed my sandwiches each time I go. I typically get the Parkside special, and it's always been great. The portion size is pretty big, so I typically can only eat half at one time. I've also been able to take the sandwiches on hiking trips, and they don't get soggy and keep well even overnight. I've gone in store and also ordered online for a pickup, and both systems are pretty easy and seamless. It's really close to the Panhandle and Alamo Square parks, so while they don't have seating inside, I sometimes pick up sandwiches for a picnic from there as well. read more

Great sandwiches for a reasonable price. The man who made my sandwiches was also very kind.

Service is exceptional, sandwiches are so yummy and they have lots of drinks to choose from as well as a good selection of alcohol. We got the Parkside Special and a sandwich not on the menu yet, the Philly Cheesesteak. Both very yummy!! I enjoyed the Bolliwood music, my booty was shakin' immediately! read more

Excellent service, food, layout, very clean. Just enjoyed a delicious meatball sub. Good grocery selection too. Will be back again soon for another treat. read more

Might be the best sandwich I've had in quite a while. Located in an unassuming market, I ordered the Parkside Special. I got everything on it, which seemed like onions, jalapeños, peppers, tomato, lettuce, onion, bacon, turkey, and some kind of sauce on a Dutch crunch roll. Idk, I'm probably missing some things but damn this sandwich was good. It was also huge. It was just one guy working and it takes time to craft these sandwiches. I ended up waiting about 10-15 minutes as he was already making sandwiches for someone else when I arrived. Worth the wait. read more

Great sandwich and friendly staff. It's a well stocked corner store in a quiet neighborhood. I came here after riding my bike through Golden Gate Park and needed lunch. The sandwiches are traditional large San Francisco style sandwiches. The menu is huge! They charge a huge premium for credit cards and the ATM on site was broke. read more

Against my better judgment I came back. Bleh... smaller sandwiches that taste stale. Place has gone downhill but so have all other sandwich places in the area. Another part of SF going downhill. read more

The Darlicious was great! They were out of bacon, so I chose prosciutto instead. The sandwich was amazing, served on dutch crunch bread with sriracha mayo! Turkey (salsa/pepper?)-Havarti-avocado-prosciutto... yum! They can also put on any other toppings you want... think I got tomatoes too. Plenty of sandwich! Tons of different sandwich choices, all listed on the wall. Lived up to the Yelp expectations and other recommendations! Rumor from the owner's Uncle is that they're planning to re-do the market a bit... make it nicer, better refrigeration system, etc. read more

Howdy folks. How's everyone on Planet Yelp doing? You know every now and then I stumble across a business that leaves such a groovy impression on me that I continue to keep coming back. So every time I find myself in San Francisco, which is my favorite California city, I always make it a point to head over to the Parkside Market. You may ask why? Well, lets dive right into this review and find out why. Parkside Market is a very special place. Located right on the corner of Hayes and Lyon Streets, this neighborhood market is a jewel all of it's own. Probably the first thing you'll notice is the artwork painted on the side of the building. There is a mural with painted images of the family that runs the store. As an admirer of art this caught my attention right away. I think that presents a nice welcoming touch. I've been going to this place for more the twenty years and I've always seen the same people working there. They are always friendly and helpful. I don't know how to fully explain it, but there is a certain vibe about the place that emits groovy energy. Maybe that's why the staff there is so nice. I remember the first time I ever stepped foot inside of the Parkside Market. It was back in good ol' 1998. I was visiting my friend who lived nearby on Hayes Street. I walked over to the Parkside Market because I really wanted an It's It. For anyone who is not familiar with what an It's It is, you got to try one if you ever come to San Francisco. These things are so ono. Anyways, back to the Parkside Market. I like how everything in the store is so close together and organized. But not so close that you have to squeeze your way through the aisles. For a small neighborhood market they have everything that you could possibly want. Their selection is better than most supermarkets and that is really saying something. For example, they have the It's It that I love. That is the cappuccino flavor which for some reason is very difficult to find. But they have it here at the Parkside Market along with a great selection of food and household items. So I think I'll wrap this review up by saying that if you ever find yourself in the city by the bay and you have a craving for a cappuccino flavored It's It, or anything else for that matter, I highly suggest that you head on over to the Parkside Market. You won't be disappointed. If you are, there's always the long lines and hassle that is Safeway. And make sure to take a moment to check out to groovy mural on the side of the building. Until next time may the Yelp reviews be groovy. Happy trails. Nasty Nathanial read more

We used to LOVE this spot for its sandwiches - they were THE best! We ordered sandwiches today, picked it up (we didn't see the regulars that worked there but didn't think too much of it), but when began to eat - we immediately could tell something was different. These were not the sandwiches we've been getting. Putting two and two together, we thought maybe the management changed. Called to confirm & that ended up being the case. I'm so bummed the original owners are gone - I had no idea! Now while I'd love to support the new owners, it's going to be a high bar to meet. The sandwich barely had any meat in it. Mine had 1 slice of avocado in the entire sandwich. The others weren't thrilled with their sandwiches either for same/similar reasons. Hopefully they improve but looks like we'll be looking for a new spot in the meantime. read more

I picked up lunch here and was so impressed. I ordered the parkside special and it was huge, but so yummy. The Dutch crunch roll is to die for. I dug into the sandwich so quick that I couldn't get a photo. This might be one of the best sandwich places I've been to and I can't wait to be in SF to go again! read more

One year later and it's worth another review and still 5 stars! This place doesn't get enough credit compared to some of the other popular sandwich places in SF. If you're looking for a reasonably priced, fast service and great sandwich near GGP this is your spot! read more

Their sandwiches are the bomb!!! "The City Boy" is my favorite. This is a mom and pop corner shop, and they are wonderful people who tame time. You can taste the love in the sandwiches. read more

She took cash from the person in front of me, ( a ton of old 1 dollar bills), then continued making my sandwich with the same gloves on. No washing. It wasn't the regular person who makes sandwiches, but lately, it's been a different person every time. read more

Got the Parkside Special and it turned out to be the best sandwich I've ever had! I had a hard time choosing because all the sandwiches on the menu sounded delicious, but I'll be back to try them all! They also have a good selection of chips, drinks, and ice cream/cold treats. It's only a block from the Panhandle, so it's perfect for grabbing snacks and eating at the park. read more

Great little deli market with delicious sandwiches! I'm partial to their "Honey Baked" sandwich in particular (add honey mustard) though it might not be the most exciting thing on the menu. Absolutely love their Dutch Crunch bread - so crunchy and delicious. They're also very generous with their meat portions and their ingredients all taste yummy and fresh. If you don't mind waiting for your sandwich, this is definitely worth it! Otherwise, you can call in advance, too to have your sandwich made before you get there. Side note: they also had some pretty interesting kettle chip flavors there when I went (Tues Feb 27, 2018) like Fiery Thai and Korean BBQ. read more

Found Parkside a while back (don't remember when) on yelp and added it to my list. Finally decided to head there this morning and dragged my flat mate along. This place is a sandwich shop (Deli) inside a convenience store. No seating in case you're wondering. I got the SF Psych on Dutch runch as it was highly suggested on here and man, it did not disappoint. So much meat. A right balance of sauce, condiments, and meat. Probably the best sandwich I've had in months. And the roll was excellent. Crunchy but not hard, with just enough pull. The price is also very nice. As of the day of this review, 10.xx for a sammish. Solid portion too. I will say this tho, some of the employees can be a bit rough around the edges. It's not bad, or unprofessional but honestly, it's quite borderline. All in all, 10:10 would recommend. I will make my way there again very soon. read more

I got the falafel sandwich and was fairly disappointed. The sandwich was soggy and not very tasty. However the man who made it was very friendly, so I enjoyed the service. read more

I'm not in this neck of the woods of SF very often but I decided to grab a sandwich based on reviews. I grabbed a Sf psych??? ( thanks fellow yelpers) On Dutch crunch with everything on it and it was delicious. If you are in a rush this place probably isn't for you as the owner takes his time to make your sandwich ( which is good by me). He's been at this location since 1981 and I enjoyed talking to him about the shop and the city in general. If I lived or worked nearby there is no doubt I'd be here often. read more
