    Second Reef is tucked in an unassuming plaza, you'll have to park and walk into it. It's the same plaza as pure hockey + Greek bistro. If you park near pure hockey and look over to the Greek bistro you'll see second reef! The customer service here is excellent and they are very helpful. Sandwiches are always delicious and you can see them make it in front of you so you know it's fresh. Definitely in our rotation for sandwiches! :)

    Great tasting Albacore sandwich. The food preparation service is quick. And the area is very nice and quiet.

    Second Reef Deli hit it out of the park! I ordered the Brooks Street Hot and it was perfect turkey warmed, bread toasted, and super generous with the avocado. Fresh, flavorful, and made exactly how I asked. The service was just as good as the food. The gentleman and lady behind the counter treated me like family friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. Great food, amazing service, and a welcoming vibe. I'll definitely be back!

    A great deli with fresh ingredients and staff who take pride in making a sandwich. With the ease of online ordering it is easy to forget what passion and art goes into the food we eat when we never interact with those who prepare it. Tried Second Reef Deli for the first time today and what a gem it is. Nothing fancy or trendy about the interior of the deli, but that doesn't matter when the sandwiches are so delicious! I came after the lunch rush and got the chance to witness the care taken to make our sandwiches. You might think I'm overthinking what it takes to make a sandwich but not here. They didn't slap the food on the bread and quickly spread the aioli about. They didn't skimp on the produce or have parts of the bread barely covered with toppings. They took time to make sure it all fit and was made carefully so eat bite is satisfying. There is a ton to choose from here and even the fountain machine ice was exceptional. Bits of broken ice with cubes produced a faster chill to my Diet Coke than when it's just cubes. Didn't spill out either and overfill the cup with ice so I was pleasantly surprised. If you want a high quality deli sandwich and a great price, you need to stop at Second Reef Deli!

    Not bad service is a little stoic but they get the job done here. Had an Italian sandwich, forgot the name, the one with three types of meat and provolone. Was rather bland but did the job. I can tell how good a sandwich is by how fast I eat and finish it. Normally, it takes me 2 minutes to finish a remarkable sandwich. Took me 10 minutes to finish this and I was hungry. Cool and comfy outdoor seating area and inside the vibe is dead. Not a bad place but unremarkable.

    We were craving something cool and refreshing with the heat this weekend, so visited Second Reef Deli for the second time to get some sandwiches. Got the same sandwiches we did last time - the Brooks Street & the Varazze (italian). They were even better than I remembered. The bread had a perfect chew to it, and the bread to sandwich filling ratio was spot on. Nice and air conditioned inside, with coke fountain drinks (diet coke is my preferred drink of choice)! Seemed like a steady stream of customers coming in and the staff was really sweet. We won't wait so long to visit a third time :)

    Ordered lunch for our department meeting. Our orders came with each item labeled, which was very convenient and efficient. The salad I got was delicious and very filling. I would try a sandwich next time!

    Before my daughter's swim meet, we decided to try Second Reef Deli because it was really close. This restaurant exceeded our expectations. The employees were so nice, welcoming and very cute. I decided to order the Brooks Street Sandwich. My husband ordered the Varazze Sandwich. And my daughter order the Brooks Street Sandwich as well. All 3 sandwiches are a MUST. I love how all of the ingredients are nice and fresh and the perfect lunch. While waiting for our order, the owner, who is very nice by the way, gave us Lays chips. We were very appreciative of it, and my daughter delightfully ate them. The interior was lovely. It was so beachy and ambient. Our family 10/10 recommends!!!

    I'm so serious when I say this, this breakfast burrito might've been the best breakfast burrito…read moreI've ever had. I'm someone that loves food tripping and breakfast burritos are something I eat often, but this one was other-worldly. The custom pick of protein, the cheese, and jammy sunny side up eggs inside, the crispy tater tots, and the tenderly crunchy griddled tortilla; it was incredible. And if you think I'm overplaying how good it is, then your loss; you don't get to try it. Anyway besides how good the burrito is, service is great! They made my food quick and were attentive to the things I needed. The inside is nice and there's good seating inside, maybe not enough for a big party, but there's a couple two-top tables and a bar seat counter (no bar, just bar counter). HIGHLY recommend! I've been living in RSM for the past couple years and I have zero clue how I'm just finding out about this. Gem alarm!

    **This review is only for their breakfast burrito**…read more CK's cousin introduced us to this place while we were visiting town because she said it has the best breakfast burrito in the OC. CK & I were a bit skeptical, but we were surprised. Definitely one of the best breakfast burrito's I've had in the OC - especially when fresh! Made with your protein of choice, sunny side-up eggs, tater tots, pico de Gallo, cheddar cheese, and a flour tortilla - I ordered it with chorizo and CK ordered with steak. The steak are thinly sliced - not carne asada style like I assumed, but it was still good. My favorite had to be with the chorizo. Everything in the burrito was well put together and created a good balance. I think the star of the show in the burrito was the tater tots because they're the perfect crispyness and I think it's what the tied the breakfast burrito together. The breakfast burrito comes with a side of salsa verde, but there are additional condiment sauces above the trashcan. Definitely coming back for more when I visit!

We got there at 8:30 pm, and they were already cleaning up, so we asked if they were still open before we ordered. They were so kind to let us order our sandwiches even though they were cleaning up the kitchen. We love their Dutch crunch bread so much so we bought two loaves to have at home. They made the sandwiches quick and we took ours and ate it in the car. Hubby got the whole Baja Cheesesteak with Dutch crunch bread and the meat was pretty red and the sauce was a bit spicy. He enjoyed his sandwich and his free cookie. I got the Sammie French Dip with Dutch crunch bread and the meat was too red for me. I like my meat cooked a little more, so I decided to wait to cook it more at home. The dip had a horseradish flavor which was too strong for me, so I will probably not eat it. I loved my free cookie! I really liked the Mr Pickle sandwich last time so I will definitely try another cold sandwich next time. I can't wait to make sandwiches with the Dutch bread we got!

The side salad that accompanied the plates was a fresh, tasty touch that I really enjoyed. For my drink, I went with a Matcha with oat milk--while you can't control the sweetness level here, it was still a very enjoyable cup. There is indoor and outdoor seating - we sat outside and enjoyed the greenery. That being said, there were two specific areas where I think they could improve, especially given the premium price point ($18 for the Tamago and $15 for the Pork): * The "Soft" Boiled Egg: The Tamago sandwich is supposed to feature a soft-boiled egg, but mine was definitely hard-boiled. It was a bit of a miss on the execution for an $18 sandwich. * Service Timing: The Pork sandwich arrived well before the Tamago. Since the Pork is a warm sandwich, I had to choose between eating ahead of my party or letting the food get cold while waiting 5 minutes for the second plate. It would be great to see better coordination so all mains arrive together. Bottom line: The flavors are definitely there and the quality is high. I'd certainly come back to try more of the menu, though perhaps as an occasional treat rather than a regular spot.

None of this is posted online, so it was a complete waste of a trip. There were also basically no pastries left, so don't expect the selection shown online or on social media to actually be available. The employees were completely unapologetic and acted like it was normal. It honestly feels like this place relies more on hype and social media than actual customer service or consistency. Definitely not worth the hype.
