I've been a customer of the deli since they opened. Anyone who says anything bad about this place is going to have to fight me (I'm talking about you, "Josh S."). For anyone who's been lucky enough to try Katz's or the OG Carnegie in NYC, Langer's or Greenblatt's in LA (not bothering to include Canter's) -- Peasant's has better pastrami. Better than any of them. Period. I've seen them make it 3 or 4 different ways. Usually they serve 2 or so styles at a time. It's always fantastic. Their Godfather is a take on the Bay Cities Godmother. A pretty great one at that. Their jamon is incredible. They just get that great sandwiches are made first and foremost with great ingredients. There is no hiding quality on a sando, and they don't try. The portions are huge, and it's all so, so good. You can't go wrong here. read more

The Godfather $18 You can pick and choose which bread to have your sandwich made in so I went with the crunchy Dutch bread! For one I like the texture of it; second, it's less commonly seen. This sandwich was packed with cured meats and flavor and I would get it again. side story: I was munching on the sandwich on the side of the street while watching a parade, and different ppl come up to ask where it's from LOL read more

Small, little deli attached to an arcade. This looks like an offshoot of the restaurant across the street. I love the fresh deli meats (oxymoron?) and bread here. I got the Godfather and enjoyed the subtle hot sauce the sandwich had and the bread had great crunchiness that I really liked. read more

The Brady Rueben is 10/10 would recommend. The Kobe sandwich is 7/10 wish it had more flavor. Although, the balsamic vinegar on it was a nice touch. Service is fast and kind. Cute outdoor seating on a quiet street. I bring my dog to sit with us when we visit. Cannot wait to try out the rest of their menu, but hard to not get The Brady sandwich each and every time we visit Solvang! read more

Cute little deli with high quality ingredients. We enjoyed the smoked turkey sandwich which was stuffed with delicious shaved turkey breast, smoked cheese, and a mountain of veggies. We subbed the sesame roll for the soft dutch crunch and it was sooo good. The bread is firm and crunchy on the outside without cutting up the roof of your mouth, and fluffy inside with a hint of natural sweetness. The little arcade is adorable and has a variety of pinball machines and other games. There are patio tables and chairs outside, perfect for smaller groups. I would recommend Peasants Deli for quality charcuterie items or a tasty sandwich to go! read more

Lines can get long but it moves pretty quickly though wait time for the sandwiches can be up to 15 minutes. There are some bistro tables outside and it can get really busy, so if you see one available, grab it. Sandwiches are nice and large, but they can get messy if you're trying to grab and eat on the go. read more

Wow! What a hidden gem that my gf and I found! We were hungry but didn't want to overfill and glad we found this deli! We picked up the Gobble Gobble and I need a Name.

Super yummy sandwiches! The seasoning on the godfather and the spread was delicious. It was exactly what I wanted for a nice filling lunch in the town. It does take a while, it seems like it's regularly busy. Sandwiches take about 30-40 minutes as they are made to order. There's an arcade to help pass time along though. We had chips and drink and the wait went pretty quickly Very quality ingredients and sandwiches! read more

Stopped in to Peasant's Deli and Arcade after our four hour drive from the South Bay based on its excellent Yelp reviews, and it did not disappoint. The interior is small with not a lot of indoor seating, but there are additional tables outside. We were lucky enough to score a table indoors. Here, I'd describe the decor as yummy, as the meat is on full display -- there's a large iberico ham sitting on the counter just waiting to be sliced, a display case with other salty cured meats (sopresa and coppa) in front of the counter, and red tins of Spanish tuna packed in olive oil. As promised, there really is an arcade in the side room (I love this combo!) - huge bummer for me, but my partner was not up for game time. Oh well, maybe next time. As for service, customers order at the counter and if opting to eat in, the food is delivered to your table. Everyone we encountered was perfectly friendly. The food was fabulous. My partner and mother and law went with the ham and cheese sandwich (kurobota ham, emmental cheese, pickles onion, and sesame seed-crusted French bread). They enjoyed their sandwiches so much that my partner commended me for selecting such an awesome place for lunch. Thanks, Yelp! As for me, I went with the tuna sandwich in a lettuce wrap (no bread) because I'm still on the pre-wedding diet. Nevertheless, the sandwich was awesome. It was expertly wrapped in iceberg lettuce, which really impressed me. I delighted in the combination of flavors - high quality tuna and anchovies, roasted red pepper, Tapanade, onion, arugula, and tonnato sauce to bring it all together. So yum. Yelp did not steer me wrong here -- this place was great. I would highly recommend Peasant's Deli & Arcade if you are looking for a no-frills but very tasty lunch in Solvang. read more

I am a total pastrami snob. Most of the time, I won't order pastrami because the standard deli products are just a different flavored lunch meat. Peasants Deli --makes-their-own--! So I had to try. The owner said some have compared their pastrami to Katz's in New York (which is my #1 go-to pastrami). I can see it. This pastrami is not as juicy (I would ask for a fatty cut next time) and is smokier, spices a little different. But is it as good? Pretty close!! It's quibbling between an A and an A+. This is top-grade, master's level pastrami. I want more. The rest of the sandwich and other items were great too, as is service. I'll be back. read more

A perfect gem in Solvang with amazing food and the cutest little store front. We are locals, but this is the first time we had stopped here mostly because solving gets so busy. We are so glad we did. The food was excellent. We got the Godfather sandwich and the Sofia Loren sandwich. Both had amazing flavor. I personally got the Sofia and the hot honey with the cheese and pesto was divine. Recommend them both. read more

Quick stop in Solvang and we were craving casual dining spot for good sandwiches. Well... we lucked out with Peasants Deli. My wife and I shared the Godfather sandwich and it was incredible. All the best Italian cold cuts with an amazing spicy jelly sauce and toppings on amazing fresh made roll. They made our son a fantastic grilled cheese (I had to taste it and it was delicious). Lots of different chips to choose from and a large variety of canned sodas, glass bottled iced teas, and water. They serve wine and had a variety of nice options. We tried the sauv blanc which was very tasty. They even have caviar if you are in the mood. My wife partook and was very happy with it as garnish on the chips. Very nice folks working there that were very welcoming and friendly. Definitely a great place to visit in Solvang! read more

Great sandwiches and convenient. I do recommend ordering ahead though. If you like Italian cured meat, they have an awesome prosciutto.

Had the best sandwich of my life here and I cannot wait to go back. There was roast beef and pickled onions on a sesame seed roll. Absolutely delicious. My son had a simple turkey sandwich. We didn't know it came with a spicy mustard on it and when the owner heard me saying i will just scrap it off, she insisted on making him a new sandwich. So very sweet of her! He loved it! My friend also had a sandwich and I had a bite and it was so delicious as well!! This is the perfect little quaint place to grab a quick lunch. The arcade is super cool as well. I'm planning a trip to Solvang in December and this place is first on my list to visit! Parking may be tough to find depending on when you go. Weekends are usually very crowded. Either way, it's so worth it! read more

Great little spot to grab a sandwich. It's no frills, you order at the counter and they bring it out to you, you can grab a seat outside the deli and people watch as you eat. We had the turkey sandwich and it was huge: you could share one between the 2 of you. read more

We ordered the Ham & Cheese, Kobe Roast Beef, and the Smoked Turkey 5/5 Smoked Turkey- size was excellent, the smoked turkey had amazing flavor, and they did an excellent job layering and seasoning flavors into the condiments inside. Another thing I loved that was true for all sandwiches is they slice their meat thinly. If I had to change one thing it would be to toast just the sesame roll just a tad on the sandwich. It was a little tough making it a challenge to bite through - but the roll was good. 5/5 Ham & Cheese- classic and delicious. Best Ham & Cheese we have ever had. 4/5- Kobe Roast Beef- excellent sandwich overall however the sandwich was much lighter on the meat than the others making it not quite as filling. I couldn't recommend this spot enough. Charming, sweet staff, and if I lived in town I'd probably be here daily. Bonus- the arcade kept the kiddos busy while we got to sit and enjoy lunch. read more

Strange to say but the sandwich (Godfather) tasted so much better 24 hours later. We came in for sandwiches to take to the park. Great place! So fun to be able to play with the arcade & have a drink while you wait. The games are fairly priced which was nice. We brought our picnic to the park and ate less than half of my sandwich 2 hours after ordering. Was not very good- I was disappointed. I took it home and ate it the next day and it was SO GOOD. All the oils & seasonings melded into the bread. So so good. read more

These are perhaps some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I can't even begin to describe the flavors, but the combination of ingredients in the sandwiches were perfect. Think of Remy from "Ratatouille" when all the flavors come together! My friends and I shared "The Godfather" and also "Chopped Italian Sandwich", and we were thoroughly impressed. The deli is a small spot with some limited seating in the shop, but there is an additional arcade area where there is more seating available. I believe Sarah, one of the owners, may have been the person who helped us with our orders. The day we came in, it was raining hard, so being in this shop was a pleasant surprise with its cozy décor and comforting space to take a break from the weather. The place also has a very clean restroom, which is always something I appreciate. I wish I could take home sandwiches as souvenirs for loved ones. read more

Best sandwiches in town. My go to is the Ham and Cheese (Kurobuta ham,Emmental cheese, dill pickles, shaved red onion, and Dijon mustard). I get "the works" on it which is house spread, shaved red onions, sliced tomato, shredded lettuce, Italian dressing, salt and paper. So delicious. Sarah is always amazing and friendly. Great service and great delicious food in such a cute little shop. And the best part is the arcade Nextdoor so you can play some video games while you wait for your food. read more

My family and I were in Solvang for Christmas for a few days and my Girlfriend wanted me to try out Peasants Deli. So we decided to go for lunch. Just a heads up Guys; Parking is very LIMITED so you will have to find public parking around or if you are lucky, snag a spot in front of the Deli. Peasants Deli is located on the border of Atterbad Rd and Copenhagen Dr; across from Peasants Feast Restaurant. When we get arrived, we were welcomed by a friendly staff member. The Deli is a cozy little place when you can sit down and enjoy scenery of Solvang, while eating a sandwich. I looked at their menu and my Girlfriend recommended the Kobe Roast Beef Sandwich. So, I decided to order one and ordered it with: House Roasted Kobe Beef, grana padano, arugula, shaved red onion, horseradish aioli and aged balsamic. The bread I choose to go with Bob's Sesame French Roll. Waited for our order and found tables outside to eat. The staff member brought our order to us outside, which I did not expect, but welcomed. I took a bite of the Kobe Roast Beef Sandwich and I would say in my personal opinion that I probably had the best Roast Beef Sandwich I have ever had. When I was eating my sandwich, I would tell that it was prepared fresh and I really enjoyed the fresh bread of the Sesame French Roll. Particularly the bread had a crunch and the portion was very good size in my opinion. To top it off, after we were done, I had the pleasure meeting one of the owners of Peasants Deli, Sarah. Her hospitality and checking up on us, made the experience wonderful. Our overall experience was great and it was nice meeting Sarah. In my personal opinion, I would definitely recommend Peasant Deli if you're are visiting Solvang. Next time we go visit, I would like to try their other items on the menu. read more

Fantastic sandwiches. Omg the mushroom sandwich is insane. Every time I visit solvang I go to peasants feast deli for a take out sandwich and I eat in at the main restaurant as well. It's that good. read more

This place is well worth the drive. It was a great pit stop on our road trip. My friend and I wanted something quick but good and Peasants delivered. We ordered The Godfather and Tuna sandwiches with a side of pickled carrots. I was blown away. The sandwiches are on the pricier side, but I've never had a tuna sandwich with an actual fillet of fish and boiled eggs in it. All the ingredients were incredibly fresh and worked very well together. The pickled carrots were very tangy and worked well to counterbalance the tuna's richness. My friend loved The Godfather and said it paired nicely with the sesame roll. We were both full after eating half a sandwich. The interior was cozy with a handful of tables. There were a few tables outside, but it was raining heavily when we arrived. The cashier was friendly and very nice. She brought in one of the outside chairs and wiped it down for us so that we could sit inside. This is a great spot for a quick bite. It's definitely out of the way but worth a stop if you're passing through Solvang. read more

Peasants Deli & Arcade - Turkey with lettuce and tomato - Sandwiches Near Me - Solvang, California

Easily top 3 sandwich I've ever had. Not to mention the atmosphere and welcoming people here, who are top notch.

This shop is cute but really small inside. 3 bistro tables inside and a coin arcade in the next room. The Godfather sandwich had really yummy meat. By default, it comes on their special bread. I forget what it was called but it had sesame seeds on top. You could switch it out for another bread upon request but I wanted to try it how it's originally made. I like a bread with a good crust on the outside and soft on the inside (like a Dutch crunch), but this one was a little thick and tough on the inside. You gotta have strong teeth to get through the bread! My jaw got a workout for sure. They have a partner restaurant across the street and a lot of workers from over there were walking in with containers of food (from the restaurant) and would leave with containers of food (from the deli). It was a bit distracting overall with the constant in/out and passing by us, as we were trying to enjoy our sandwich. The place is really small as it is so I'm unsure if this is typical or just on the day we happened to visit. Lots of folks would come in to pick up their to-go orders and would check out the arcade while they waited. read more

Over priced for the slim amount of meat on the sandwich, the sesame bread roll from Bobs well bread are so hard it's almost inedible, decided to get the ciabatta roll and it was no different, hard as a shoe. Most of the second sandwich went in the trash. The rye bread isn't too bad. read more

stopped by here on a whim since restaurants were so crowded, wait times was crazy! i love sandwiches so def wanted to try it out. i got the mortadella sandwich, option to make it spicy. not sure why the banana peppers (love them!) were removed, chili oil was added instead. the meat was good. the bread was only ok, it was chewy and hard :( maybe it was an off day. but i would come back for their godfather! that sandwich sounded so good. staff was super nice. outdoor seating was super convenient since we had our dog with us. read more

Love the ambiance of this place-- unassuming place with an arcade. I got the Marinated Mushroom sandwich, which honestly, was not what I expected it to be. BUT I'm happy with my pick, nonetheless. It had a nice kick from the guindella peppers. In the 30-45 min I ate there, I noticed many customers come in, who the employees all knew, and they ordered and wandered into the arcade to play a few games. Great food with a family friendly atmosphere. What more do you want? Only regret is not getting more sandwiches :P read more
