This little sandwich shop is so good! We came twice on our 4 day/3 night stay in Monterey. Their breakfast burritos are delicious! I didn't get pictures of the breakfast burritos because we were on the go and I ate while driving. The Jaws sandwich is amazing. Get it! The bread is so good with the meats. Service is friendly. The cooks are so nice. The cashier gifted us two deviled eggs because we had a friendly chat with the staff about Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur (on our second visit to Randy's Sandwich Shop). Thank you for the deviled eggs! read more

This is a great local sandwich shop. We were staying nearby and stopped here to grab a sandwich to go. We got a turkey sandwich with a lot of the fixings. It was a great sandwich with an amazingly fresh roll! It's a small place and it's cash only, so be prepared. There is no real seating, just a bench outside. This is a "grab and go" kind of place. It's pretty small with a counter and some sodas in a fridge. We split a whole sandwich and it was good enough. If you are really hungry, you could eat one by yourself. We will definitely come back when we are in the neighborhood. read more

Theres is absolutely no skimping on the meat here. Just ginormous proportions of meat, no cutting back for a bigger profit, forget the bottom line , just give the customer more meat and he will be back again and again. Let them line up outside for a meaty sandwich. Word will get around, and they will come. I know for sure im going back again , it was soo good. read more

Friendly place. A tasty hot Reuben sandwich was served quickly, and the Hoagie was big enough for two. For seating there is a public bench across the street in the shade. read more

Best calamari sandwich ever. A hole in the wall that has best sandwiches and people waiting in line. Worth it

Amazing sandwiches, very friendly! Sandwiches are big!!! Love the tuna but everything else I've tried has also been excellent! My go-to place for lunch. Don't let the line fool you- they turn out the sandwiches at a very fast pace. You can sit outside across the street at a picnic table and enjoy the weather. DO NOT MISS RANDY'S! read more

Randy's still makes the best sandwiches in Monterey at an affordable price. Nuff said.

The want you to think that they are caring couple who are running a local business when they really don't care about anyone but themselves. They use their rental properties to scam people out of their hard-earned money. The "cute grandparent appearance" is fake. They are greedy rich people who stay rich by taking advantage of those with less. They put in a real good show and you may even get a free sandwich or two, here and there, but then they have me paying out of pocket on utilities that I never get reimbursed on and refuse to return a deposit that they charged for an emotional support animal (which is illegal in CA). Do NOT give these people your money!! They are BAD people with NO MORALS who do NOT DESERVE your business!! And the SANDWICHES; mediocre, at best! You'll get your money's worth because they are big but don't deliver on much flavor. I know a good Reuben and it should have a good amount of sauerkraut on it! They barely put any on and overdo the sauce. They make basic sandwiches. Period. I wouldn't give this family a single penny more, even if they didn't cost me money! Take your money somewhere else! DON'T SUPPORT THESE WOLVES WHO ARE DOING MORE HARM TO THIS LOCAL COMMUNITY THAN GOOD! read more

I've been going here since 2006 ish and the quality still hasn't changed. I moved to Orlando for a few years but I made it a MUST to go to Randy's every time I visited. My go-to for breakfast is the burrito with bacon with jalo and for lunch, JAWS 2! They don't skimp on the meat like other places do, so that's always a plus. Great food but even greater service. TIP: Bring cash, order ahead so it's ready by the time you get there, and leave a tip for their awesome service! :) read more

Friendly place where locals and contractors get quick and friendly service. Very affordable. Cash only. My two kiddos loved their sandwiches and they're picky eaters. And we got a few chocolates in our bag as a surprise which tasted great after the sandwiches. Some benches outside to eat. Will definitely go back. read more

I came up during lunch and was served quickly. I had a pastrami sandwich and it was decent. It came on a sesame roll. The sandwich was huge and it was under $9. It's a no-frills establishment and it's cash only. I will be coming back to try out the other sandwiches. They are only open from 6:30am-2pm. read more

I'm staying at the Hilton Garden Inn for work and heard about Randy's Sandwich Shop. It was cash only so I walked in and asked what I could get for $13, that's all I had on me. VERY friendly family owned business, they said you can get anything for that, you can even get something to drink. I ordered the Italian beef (hot sandwich) with hot peppers. Let me tell you, it was bursting with flavor and had good heat! The meat was fresh and the bread was soft. I also purchased a Diet Coke. Total bill came to $12!! Small quint establishment, not for dine in as there is not seating. Not a problem. We need more sandwich shops like this, and less of the chain ones (Subway, Mr. Pickles, Togo's, Quiznos, Jersey Mike's). Highly recommend, would definitely come back!! read more

Fast, simple, classic sandwiches with no BS along the way. If I need a quick affordable lunch look no further. I get the Jaws. Make sure you grab some pickled jalapeños from the counter. They're free. read more

Waited weeks to go there , sign on door says closed for vacation . Would have been nice to know ahead of time

For the two days I was here, I ate here twice. So... it's that good. Only bummer is that the calamari sells out quick so make sure you go before noon. Now I have to come back to Monterey just so I can get the calamari sandwich! The breakfast burrito was about the size of my head. Huge portions and so yummy at a great price! Cash only. read more

I've heard a lot of locals say positive things about Randy's Sandwich shop so after being here over 6 years I finally decided to try them for lunch. I walk in and no "hello" from the woman at the counter. Just a short "can I help you". The entire interaction made me feel like I was bothering her or something. I ordered the Italian beef sandwich and what a mistake! Salty meat and soggy bread. The advertised price for sandwich said nine dollars, but the woman at the counter told me my total was $10. Local taxes are 9.25%, which means my total should have been $9.83 I did not say anything about it because at this point I knew that I was not going to return and in the end not having the $.17 it's not going to hurt me. Now I understand why they are a cash only business. read more

Amazing! Huge portion! Randy and his staff was so friendly from when we walked in. I had the breakfast plate and my BF had the breakfast burrito. This was his childhood go to, and it hasn't changed since. read more

A little hole in the wall sandwich shop that was absolutely delicious! Very reasonably priced. They only accept cash. Togo only. It is very small and doesn't have any indoor seating. I got the calamari sandwich. Very unique and flavorful. read more

Was staying at the Hyatt, and there arent many food options near by. But, I was craving a sandwich, and this worked out perfectly. A 5 minute walk from the hotel. I was eyeballing the Jaws 2, because it had bologna. Can never go wrong with anything that contains bologna. BUT, someone ahead of me ordered the rockfish. So, I decided to order the rockfish, as well. It didnt disappoint. The bread was fresh, the sandwich was still warm when I got back to the hotel. They didnt skimp on the tarter sauce. Fish tasted good. The only thing that bothered me a little bit was that they microwaved the fish, to heat it up. Not a big deal, but enough to make some of the edges of the fish dry. Was still a good sammich. I think I will go with the Jaws 2 next time im in. Was $10 even for the sandwich, and they only take cash. read more

Doesn't look like much but a hole in the wall place to buy a soda, and yet somehow they manage to whip up sandwiches as soon as you finish paying! Super yummy, flavorful sandwiches! The only thing is if you don't want something on your sandwich, you may have to repeat yourself. We asked for no mayo and no cheese and got both. They don't spend a lot of time on conversation so for the most part, you're probably better off just ordering the sandwiches as-is. read more

Don't let the appearance fool you! This cash-only, family-run sandwich shop makes some great sandwiches and salads. Take them to Lover's Point Park and enjoy a beautiful view and a great sandwich. read more

What a hidden hem this place turned out to be... great sandwiches at a great price 5 stars for sure

Humble little shop hidden in between a couple commercial businesses. I actually didn't get a chance to try the sandwiches as this place is cash only. Super bummed, but will check out next time. read more

I hate to only give this place two stars because they have a famous breakfast sandwich that I was not able to try during my visit. So this review is based on the calamari sandwich I ordered and was highly disappointed. For starters, that place has nothing that they make themselves. Everything is from a jar or a bag. That was my first warning. The calamari was quite mediocre, it wasn't the worst I've had, but it was not the best I've had by any means. The batter was slipping off, and mixing greasy batter with Cheap lettuce and mayonnaise was not appetizing. My wife actually did not finish her half of the sandwich. They could have definitely used some type of tartar aïoli, locally made fresh bread, or something to set them apart. But they did not. I would say at the prices are quite reasonable which is why this is not a one star rating. read more

It is tucked away and worth every penny! We always share a unique tuna and turkey with all the veggies. He put it on a fresh soft sesame 12" roll and OMG it was tantalizing to our taste buds. The tuna was albacore and had just enough hard boiled egg. He clearly knows his flavor profiles. Service was expertly done and he didn't even hesitate when I asked for our unique blend of foul and fish. Ambiance was clearly a hole in the wall, and local favorite. Nothing fancy but people were lining up as he pumped out these delicious sands. Which I'm totally ok with for the service and food was uncompromising. read more

Perfect sandwich! Nothing crazy like a crazy overpriced bistro. Perfect to take on course or for the road. We had the Jaws2 and will be back. Cash only which I'm sure keeps the overhead down. Thanks for our lunch Randy! read more

My husband wanted to stop by here before going to out hotel in Monterey. They have very unique ordering system....you basically yell out your order to the chef in the back. Would not have figured it out if it was not for the guy in line behind us who told us how. The order came out super quick, and two big subs packed with cold cuts costed only $14 dollars. What an amazing price for Monterey. I can see why people love this place. The workers were super nice to my baby too. Beware....the bread gets all over you so your car will get messy, and I did see they closed the business around 1:15pm. read more

One of the few places that is walking distance from the Hyatt and it's reasonably priced and tasty too!!! Their bread is solid and more than capable of holding all the meats. Even the warm sandwiches will not melt. At the same time, the bread does not overpower the sandwich. The sandwiches are simple, but great in their simplicity. You can grab your choice of a wide variety of chips and help yourself to bottled drinks in the fridge to make it a tasty meal. They are cash only and won't give out receipts. No indoor seating, but there is a lovely picnic bench across the way to enjoy your tasty meal ^^ read more

Very small little sandwich shop close to Naval postgrad school. Zero ambiance, zero friendliness at the cash register or when ordering. But that doesn't seem to be a problem bc there's a line. I asked for a turkey sandwich with lettuce, red onion and Swiss cheese, no mayo. I unwrapped a turkey with no lettuce, and white American cheese. Oh well, it's for my flight and it's better than nothing. read more

Randy's has some of the best Subs. It reminds me of when I was a kid living in PA. and you got a sub. it was so big. Randy's has a lot of meat in it and the prices you can't beat $6 or 7 dollars and the quality. I think he has the best subs and prices in Monterey and LA. I always made sure I took some home for my Mom and Dad and when I would leave town back to LA I would drive 20 miles out of my way to get a sub for the ride. Your the best Randy! Thank You for the great subs and your great prices! Jimmy Dale read more
