    King Louie on Sweet
    Adam B.

    So like when did subs start costing $21.67? It's not like this is some fancy carvery where they smoke pastrami in-house and slice large chunks to order. It's just your typical offering of deli meats and cheeses and along with some chicken (grilled or breaded). Tastes alright, about what you'd expect in a sub, but seems a bit overpriced. King Louie on Sweet: I asked for a recommendation of what's popular and was steered in this direction. It seemed to be cordon bleu inspired with breaded chicken, ham and swiss cheese. Though the breaded chicken was kinda weird, seemed like diced chicken tenders that occasionally had some gristle... whole cutlets would have been better. While it looked big, it actually didn't seem overly meaty, with the lettuce giving it a lot of the height. It was decent, but not anything I'd insist all my colleagues try. Italian Jungle on Sourdough: The Italian is usually my go to by default since I like the variety of meats and it's more exciting than the typical turkey, ham and roast beef cold cuts. This one was $19.95 and not $21.67; I suspect they didn't charge tax since it wasn't toasted. The meat and veggie combo was nice with mortadella (bougie bologna), prosciutto (bougie ham) and some other nice Italian meats. It actually felt more substantive than the King Louie, since those Italian meats with the provolone are richer than chicken tender bits. Main complaint though is that it was too bready. It was indeed a nice sourdough, but very thick and very chewy. I kinda felt like a chipmunk with filled cheeks just chewing and chewing and chewing. Brass Monkey on Wheat: This one was $21.67. It's a weird name for a pretty basic meatball sub. It was a tad dry. I totally get that you don't want the other extreme of so much sauce that the bread gets soggy and falls apart, but I feel there was a lot of latitude here to add more sauce than just the light spread. The meatballs were alright, the squishy kind, not the homemade crumbly kind. Had provolone by default, but might have been better with stringy mozzarella. Also, the wheat tasted weirdly a little sweet.

    ##8 Harvest Monkey (SF)
    Jamie D.

    I had the #8 Harvest Monkey and added avocados. Super yummy and tasty cranberry & cream cheese mix well. highly recommend this sandwich if you go, toasted bread is amazing. I'm definitely coming back soon! Thanks again for super friendly staff & 10/10 sandwich

    Hot pastrami

    I happen to walk in because they put a sign out on the sidewalk and I'm always looking for new places to eat since I work down the street. Everything was fine. My order took a little long and it didn't seem crowded at all, but they did offer me free chips or a drink to compensate. Sandwich was delicious and I did enjoy it and I'm happy to have a place nearby to go to for lunch.

    Angry Chicken on Dutch Crunch
    Chris N.

    Found a sandwich shop within steps from my workplace. Their Mango Sweets Tea is delicious. Decent sandwiches and fairly priced. Falls in the Togos class of sandwich shops. Got an Angry Chicken on Dutch Crunch Roll. My only complaint is roll had no crunch and the combo price is set slightly above other sandwich shops. Staff is actively busy even when the crowds are slow which shows me they care about the business. If I find myself not in the mood for a sandwich, I will definitely swing by to buy a Mango Sweet Tea.

    Italian Jungle
    Logan S.

    Good sized sandwich for the price point. Not sure if I'd pay $21 for a large sized. Service was very good! Gave solid recommendations and greeted as soon as I entered. Would for sure go back. Got the Italian jungle sandwich. Would get again as well but probably won't since there are so many solid looking options.

    Fresh, fast, and full of flavor--Sandwich Monkey is my new go-to sandwich spot in San Francisco! Tucked into a clean and modern space, this place is all about quality ingredients, affordable prices, and plenty of options. The sandwich I had was stacked with fresh veggies, tender meat, and nestled in soft, hearty oat wheat bread--just one of several tasty bread choices they offer. What really impressed me was the attention to freshness. Every bite tasted crisp and clean, like it was made just for me (because it was!). The menu is straightforward but full of flavor combinations that will please any kind of sandwich lover. Plus, the drink and snack selection rounds out a perfect quick lunch. The vibe inside is casual and welcoming, with plenty of room to dine in or grab and go. The staff was friendly, efficient, and clearly takes pride in what they do. Bonus points for how tidy and well-organized everything is--from the prep counter to the seating area. If you're in SF and need a reliable, delicious, and budget-friendly sandwich spot, Sandwich Monkey is the move. Will definitely be back!

In researching places near where we were staying, we learned about the Italian deli and shop. We were looking forward to stopping by to check out the store and grab lunch. The store itself is very cute and charming, full of so many items - fresh meats and cheeses, imported olive oils, pastas, desserts, wine, and liquor to name a few. There is an area where you can get coffee drinks and there is a deli area for ordering sandwiches, pizzas, specialty dishes, and salads. The variety of options is plentiful. I ordered an iced coffee beverage, which was great. My significant other and I ordered a sandwich to go, which we were splitting for a light lunch back at the hotel. The person helping at the counter was not very friendly or helpful with questions. We asked for our sandwich to be made on the Dutch Crunch bread, as we were looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, when we got back to the hotel, it turned out that the sandwich was made on a regular ciabatta roll, which was not fresh. Additionally, the sandwich was mostly mixed greens. For the price, I expected more meat. With so many great food options in San Francisco, it is likely we won't stop by on future visits to the City.

So much I was worried the ratio would be off. Told a friend that I didn't think it would be good. It would just taste like meat. I was wrong. Coleslaw wasn't too creamy or too sweet. Just right. Only thing I would change is asking for more peppers, they were so good so bright. Waffle Fries were great waffle fries, but the Mick Sauce was beyond great. To me it was like the best tartar sauce I've ever had. Maybe better. I would probably get an extra Mick Sauce and use it on my Sandwich. Friend got the Bradly and gave it top marks. All three meat flavors came through, jalapeños had great flavor that added to the sandwich. It's not cheap, but it's damn good. Be prepared to wait in line. I arrived around 1:50 and ordered around 2:20. I'm sure there are busier times. 100 percent worth the wait. They played CAKE and the employees were fantastic.

I ordered the 49er and it just seemed like a greasy goopy mess. It felt like the bread congealed into a mushy paste due to all the dressing and wetness? Also my sandwich was 1000* even after walking back to my car and letting it cool with the wrapper off it was still way to hot to eat for a long while and burnt my mouth. Maybe they intentionally make them super hot to withstand long distance takeout deliveries... I dunno. Plus standing in a long line with a velvet rope baking in the sun, long wait, lack of parking, navigating skuzzy neighborhood to go there (literally saw a guy going #2 on the corner on my way out)... overall I wasn't that impressed with Deli Board compared to all the rave reviews I have heard over the years. SF lacks truly awesome sandwich places so I will give give this another shot and report back with updates, perhaps I hit it on an off day.

Three people working a tight space with three toaster ovens, and everything comes toasted by default. Their DNA is from pizza making, and it shows. The menu has around 40 sandwiches, so I asked the guy behind the counter for his two favorites and started there. The Godfather: Genoa and pepper salami, oven gold turkey, provolone, and garlic spread on Dutch crunch. Great texture, warm from the toaster, and the garlic spread ties it together. A San Francisco classic done right. The San Franpsycho: it normally comes with honey turkey, but they had rotisserie chicken on the spit so I swapped it in. Gouda, bacon, pesto, garlic spread, and remoulade. The pesto comes through right away and the chicken tastes like real rotisserie. Fair warning: it is messy. It drips. Do not eat this in the car. I could not find a clean way to eat it and ended up taking half home to finish. In their defense, I went rogue with the chicken order so that might have messed up the flow. If you're a sandwich person in SF, put this on the list. I'll be back soon.
