This place is one of the top 5 best sandwich shops in San Diego hands down. They also serve salads,…read moresoups, and some awesome sides. I heard they're going to start serving beer and wine soon as well! *Best 1st-timer options*: The Keeper (if you like it spicy) or the L.G.B.T. My favorite hot sandwiches are the Cali Cubano, B3, and The Keeper, while my favorite cold sandwiches are the Avocado Highway, L.G.B.T. (lettuce, gouda, bacon, tomato), and Caprese. My favorite salads are the Grapevine and Duck Cranberry. For sides I recommend the potato salad and tomato basil bisque. The aioli they use is to die for -- can't hurt to get a side of it with any sandwich! The restaurant is situated on the corner of Park Blvd. and Polk Ave. (more generally, it's on the strip of Park Blvd. between University Ave. and El Cajon Blvd.). There is usually a good amount of parking on Park Blvd. and Polk Ave., which is nice. The space has a simple-yet-tasteful modern design and interior, is always clean, with friendly and helpful staff. Great for lunch hour or a weekend date. Update: Came back today with my friend and we ordered the B3 and the Turkey & Cheddar Mousse sandwiches, plus sides of potato salad and cucumber salad, and a double chocolate cookie with pistachio and sea salt. Everything was really good, but the Turkey & Cheddar Mousse sandwich was the star of the show. The cookie was great too. We both agreed the potato salad could use some salt, but besides that it was a solid meal all around.

Big Front Door has quickly become a new favorite for sandwiches, and visiting two days in a row…read moremade that very clear. On the first visit, Zack provided exceptional care and attention while helping navigate food allergies. Zack took the time to carefully check ingredients, double-check preparations, and personally come back out to verify everything to ensure safety. That level of care made the experience feel genuinely welcoming and stress-free. The chicken sandwich was fresh, satisfying, and thoughtfully balanced. Juicy chicken, ripe tomatoes, creamy avocado, and a bright splash of oil and vinegar came together beautifully on Big Front Door's roll, which had a great texture and held everything together well. The flavors were clean and vibrant. A little extra salt would have pushed it over the top for a salt-lover, but that came down to personal preference rather than any shortcoming. A dining companion ordered the avocado sandwich and could not stop raving about it, praising both the flavor and the freshness. The outdoor seating area deserves special mention. The shaded space was perfect as I do have sun allergies, especially for anyone who prefers relief from direct sun. The care taken in food preparation added an extra layer of comfort and trust. The second visit somehow raised the bar even higher. Micah went above and beyond to accommodate physical ability needs with patience, attentiveness, and genuine kindness. That effort did not go unnoticed and made the experience feel deeply respectful and inclusive. The roasted chicken sandwich ordered on the second visit was phenomenal. The roasted chicken was tender, savory, and full of depth, elevating the sandwich even further. Adding a bit of extra salt brought all the ingredients into perfect harmony, making every bite more satisfying than the last. This sandwich has officially earned a spot as a new favorite sandwich. Big Front Door was amazing not just for delicious, thoughtfully prepared food, but for the people who work there. Zack and Micah created an environment where care, kindness, and respect were clearly prioritized. No moment felt rushed, dismissive, or uncomfortable. At no point did anyone make the experience feel like a burden or inconvenience. A sincere thank-you also goes to the team members who prepared the food. Even without knowing names, the care taken to keep guests safer while serving delicious nourishment was evident and deeply appreciated. Big Front Door comes highly recommended for the flavorful sandwiches, the shaded outdoor space, the welcoming atmosphere, outstanding customer service, and the genuine kindness shown at every action.

I went with a godfather sandwich and the first thing I noticed is that the sandwich is absolutely stuffed. They are not shy about putting meat in here which I appreciate as sometimes sandwich spots give a less than desirable amount. I was also surprised at how good the Dutch crunch I chose tasted (it had a slight chew but was also fluffy at the same time). It definitely wasn't the cheapest sandwich (after tax it was around 19 bucks) but based on the ingredients and amount of meat I'd say it's fair value!

The Best sandwiches!…read more The sandwiches I ordered for my event at my new business were absolutely amazing! Everything was fresh, beautifully presented, and made with so much care. My guests couldn't stop complimenting how delicious they were--perfectly balanced flavors and high-quality ingredients in every bite.

The service was smooth, timely, and stress-free, which made hosting so much easier. I'll definitely be ordering again and highly recommend them for any event or gathering!

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.

It could really use a spread added to it, like a chipotle mayo, pesto, chimmichurri, etc. Communal coffee has MUCH better breakfast sandwiches to warrant the high price tag. The 2 "Bulletproof" coffees were the biggest disappointment. They tasted like a bitter cup of hotel drip coffee with coconut oil added. I pointed out to the barista that a Bulletproof usually has grass-fed butter to give it creaminess. She said they didn't have any butter. :( We ended up pouring out our coffees on the walk home. Maybe the South Park Meraki location is better, but I would not recommended this location University Heights. We'll be sticking to Communal Coffee next time.

I went with the "Fatboy's Special" made "Fatboy's way" with their full veggie selection, and it did not disappoint.

Minding the side street parking (for those street cleaning/sweeping days - Every 2nd & 4th Monday) and limited time restriction in places along Madison. They're open from 6:30 AM to 7 PM daily, with indoor and outdoor seating, sensation service, an assortment of fresh made goodies from bagels to croissants to muffins, toasts, breakfast sandwiches and more! Including some vegan friendly options. It's very much a neighborhood spot, as well as a local and traveler must. I used to walk University Heights often and remember when this was Twiggs forever, and strolling down from Lancers for a pick me up, but G.O. is the way to Go! They're thoughtful, efficient, well let, yet have this mellow ambiance that echos all things University Heights and SD. Free Wi-Fi? Yes, please! Easy to connect with lots of great spots to work, relax or just enjoy your beverages. Great community wall with lots of local ads, flyers as well as on-goings. Awesome swag for sell as well.

Salad used to come with a wheat tortilla wrap on the side which was amazing. They used to ask you if you wanted it. They stopped doing it. You can't even order it online anymore (even if you want to pay for it). We've been told multiple things on different occasions such as "they don't do it anymore" "it will take 15 minutes to prepare" "it will be at an additional cost" etc. I contacted corporate and apparently they still give a tortilla but only half now. Unsure if it's changed since then. The inconsistency when it comes to an answer is a little annoying. This place is tasty though, so I still recommend it. Just being a long term customer for years, it's sad to see things decline.

Would definitely come back, off work hours of course, and try some of their beers with the sandwiches. Everyone here was quick, helpful, and kind. Shoutout Madison for excellent service! I needed help with getting a receipt for work, well after my order and she took the extra time to help me get squared away. She worked with patience and had quality customer service at the forefront. She is a true rockstar and I appreciate her.
