When people discuss quality grocery stores, Corti Brothers is often mentioned when it comes to the…read moreSacramento region. I don't know how I have lived in Sac for 25 years and have never been here. The store is filled with eye popping quality foods. Think of it as a smaller version of Whole Foods when it comes to food quality and prices. I noticed they had some top quality cuts of meats. The prices are quite high so I'll have to splurge some time on a nice steak. I did notice some items were pretty reasonably priced. For example, I was rather surprised to see they had a very large variety of Temple coffee beans for for $14.99 a bag. That's cheaper than I have seen elsewhere but I didn't pay close attention to the size since I was fully stocked on coffee at the moment. I had to try one of their legendary made to order sandwiches. Someone had recommended The Tuscany. Boy, was that delicious! And the sandwich was very large for $9.99, I couldn't finish it all in one sitting. There are tables outside so I purchased a bottle soda and a sandwich. Unfortunately, I didn't think ahead because there are no bottle openers available for customers to use so I was unable to enjoy my nice cold drink with my sandwich. I'll have to either bring my own bottle opener next time or choose a drink that is a screw top or flip opener.

I've always wanted to try their sandwiches because I've heard so many people rave about them! The…read morefirst sandwich I tried was the Corti Special on a Dutch Crunch roll, and the second time I also got the Corti Special, but on a sweet roll. The Corti Special is where they choose the types of meat that go into your sandwich. Their sandwiches are big enough for two people. I don't remember exactly what meats were in my first sandwich, but I definitely enjoyed that one more. The second time, the sweet roll got a little soggy for my liking, and I wasn't a big fan of the beef that was included. I am definitely a fan of their honey mustard, though! You can order your sandwiches online, or if you're ordering in-store, there's a slip you can fill out with your order. I waited about 20-30 minutes for my first sandwich, which wasn't too bad considering it was a busy weekend. The second time, I only waited about 5 minutes. They still have a great variety of meats, cheeses, and alcohol. It's a good place to stop by if you're looking to pick up some specialty grocery items along with a sandwich.

I got a heads up on this place from yelp, from time to time, they send me suggestions on new places…read moreto try it sounded good so I decided to check it out. The place was very clean, and everybody I dealt with was very friendly and helpful. It's tucked into the back of the Shell station at Bradshaw and old Placerville, but believe me, these are *NOT* your typical "gas station sandwiches." they have a decent sized menu. You can order at the counter, but I went ahead and just use the self order screen. , I ordered the Italian, with Aioli, Pepperoni, Salami, Ham, Provolone, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Oregano, and their Vinaigrette. When you pay, you also enter your phone number so they will let you know when the sandwich is ready. They were busy, as it was lunchtime. Still the sandwich came quickly. I got the text that my sandwich was ready at the same time that they called my name. The sandwich was very good. I liked their aïoli and the vinaigrette, you could tell that they were good quality, meats, and the veggies were very fresh. They were very generous with the fillings. I had it on sourdough, and it was a very good quality sourdough as well. I ordered a small sandwich, and it was enough to fill me up. For what I got, the price was extremely reasonable. I would definitely come back. Thanks for the suggestion, yelp!

Need a quick fix for some delicious BBQ smoked meats in the are? Roxie is definitely worth the pit…read morestop! Thursday was brisket day so we ordered 3 pounds along with 3 sides each of mild and spicy BBQ sauces to go, intended to eat it later in the day. Didn't bother with ordering anything else - our one goal was to try their meat! Once ready to feast, bake it in the oven for 20 min at 275 degrees to heat. Time to feast! Every bite was juicy, succulent, and savory with the sauces. MmmMm! Sauces are a must, though, because the meat was quite bland without it. Didn't have any smoky flavor (or any flavor at all), but when you slather the sauce all over the meat then you'll experience the real taste that's intended. Fast and prompt service, plenty of outdoor tables for dining, and parking is available on the street. Want some ribs? Wednesday is the day you want to head over if their daily meat schedule doesn't change. Worth a stop if you're in the area but I wouldn't get well out of my way for this joint. It's fantastic, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't consider Roxie Deli & BBQ a hidden gem. Nonetheless, it'll fix your BBQ cravings!!

And take plenty of napkins because this is not a clean nor mobile food. My go-to for the last decade is the Hot Blonde. So much fun ordering that one. It is really delicious though. Perfectly cooked chicken with sauces, cucumbers, cheese, on delicious bread. There aren't many places to sit inside but the staff is hardworking and work hard in pushing out orders. Not much of a theme inside other than brewery-male man cave, haha. I'm not here for the vibes, just the sandwich please!

I had a craving for a sandwich and we went to one place first, saw the insane prices and walked…read moreright out and Dads was the next closest sandwich spot. Prices were decent but soon realized well worth it for the amount of meat they packed on. Inside is very tiny and outside seating is limited so it's more of a grab and go kinda spot. No fountain sodas unfortunately. I got the beach bum and ended up taking the other half home. The potato salad was a little lacking but I enjoyed the pasta salad, even tho it was pretty saturated in the dressing. Overall pretty good hearty sandwich.

The Sandwich Spot is a stable in midtown and such a gem. I love the Hornet and highly recommend it…read morefor any of my chicken and pesto lovers out there. My to-go order is the Hornet on a Dutch crunch roll with everything on it except mustard. Make it a combo with chips and a drink, and you'll have an incredible lunch. The ambiance is different from other sandwich spots in midtown. The chairs and tables are older and worn, and it's small inside, but it's also inside an old house that was converted into a restaurant. That alone makes this place unique. People hang out inside or outside with friends and enjoy the vibes. There's a real sense of community that the Sandwich Spot brings along with uniquely crafted sandwiches. All of the sandwiches are named after people or landmarks in Sacramento. The staff are all friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and will help you with recommendations if you're not sure which sandwich to get. It honestly feels like you're in the company of good friends. The staff joke around and seem to enjoy their job and working together. You won't be disappointed by trying the Sandwich Spot during your next lunch break or on the weekend, hanging out with a friend.

I'd heard a lot of good things about this specific location. I think it's a local chain, but I'd…read morenever been, so I finally decided to give it a try. The restaurant is in a really cool old Victorian house, and the staff were super friendly. The interior was clean and looked like a nice place to dine in, but I ended up taking my order to go. I ordered the #19 with turkey, prosciutto, avocado, and swiss on a dutch crunch roll. The bread had just gone into the oven, so we had to wait about 10 minutes, but I can't complain because it was baked fresh to order. Overall, I thought the sandwich was very good, but honestly not quite as amazing as people online had made it out to be. It was definitely good, but I don't know if I'd be dying to go back when I think Ike's, Mr. Pickle's, Corti Bros, and maybe even Nugget or Sprouts make more interesting sandwiches. To me, those places use slightly higher quality ingredients as well, though maybe I just didn't order the best sandwich here. Overall, it was a good sandwich and a good experience. My expectations were probably just a little too high. I wouldn't be dying to come back but also wouldn't say no if someone wanted to go there for lunch.

Finally tried other items as I usually just get grilled chicken and pork banh mis. I got the pork…read moreand egg sandwich, and cold cut combo for my sister. I love the pate inside. Makes it so flavorful and delicious. I also tried the garlic bread and the pate chaud this time around. The garlic bread was only 50 cents per piece. I wanted to try it. It was very fresh. The late chaud was also really good. Nice,warm, and flaky. I was curious on what everyone else was getting so I asked about the baguette that a ton of people were walking out with. The employee said it was a French baguette. Next time I'll have to try it. Always busy inside but line moves fast.

So I finally made it to the shop…read more I've had these sandwiches delivered to me.Ive had these sandwiches catered to me.Now I can say I've been to the shop and actually picked them up for myself. The shop itself is located in a very busy parking lot shared by many other businesses, though parking is plentiful, it can still be a challenge. The shop itself was smaller than I imagined and both visits I made to the shop were on weekend mornings and to say it was packed is an understatement. This shop is essentially a bakery-no tables, no chairs. There are multiple cashiers who service the long line of customers but I would say the line moves very efficiently. Once you order you kind of just stand around and wait for your number to appear on screen. Both times I've visited, the wait was about 20 minutes after I ordered. So let's talk about what I actually ordered. One of the things I love to order when I visit this shop is their Vietnamese coffee.($6.00) It's served ice cold and has a perfect balance of sweetness and enough caffeine to power me thru the entire day-I love this coffee. Now let's talk about the Banh Mi sandwiches. My most favorite thing about Duc Huong Banh Mi sandwiches is the garlic bread option you have with your sandwich. I cannot overstate how much of an improvement over every other Banh Mi in the city having garlic bread as the bread base truly is. This option has pretty much ruined Banh MI sandwiches at every other shop. Not only does Duc Huong literally stuff their sandwiches with so much meat and pickled veggies, but then to have the garlic bread option-Total Game Changer. I love so many of their sandwiches but if I had to pick a Top 3 1. #7 Grilled Pork & Egg 2. #1 Grilled Pork 3. #13 Pork Belly These 3 sandwiches are so delicious. Another thing about this shop is the pricing. A small sandwich generally runs around $3.25. A large sandwich generally runs between $6.00 and $7.50. So how do you have the best sandwich and some of the best pricing? One of the many reasons I truly love Duc Huong Sandwiches and why I truly daydream about when I can return to this amazing shop. Truly The Best!

I'm usually a meat sandwich girlie but others raved about it so I wanted to give it a try. Note: I am an eggplant fan so not sure if you'd like it if you're not into eggplant. The sourdough is so soft and chewy, the aioli is fantastic, the whole composition is well done. The place is no frills, go up to the counter and order to take out, no tables but I took it to McKinley park which is just 4 min drive away. I'll definitely be back to try other sandwiches. Don't forget to get cash on the way!

I tried…read morecoming here twice, on Sunday and Monday only to find out those are the two days they're closed... this past third time was the charm and oh man these sandwiches are amazing -- well worth the hype! By far the most popular sandwich here is the Panko Crusted Eggplant, so while I'm not the biggest fan of eggplant --especially as part of a sandwich -- I knew it was a must try. Packed with roasted peppers, arugula and layered with Manchego cheese in a light balsamic reduction, this is a delightful symphony of textures and flavors that even non-vegetarians will fall for. Just try it, trust me! We also got the Grilled Chicken, which was a more classic combo of tender (despite not being thinly sliced) chicken, crispy bacon and greens. While the eggplant was more texturally complex and unique, for return visits it's more likely that I'd gravitate to this one because of how how clean it tastes overall... but honestly both sandwiches were pretty much tied for my favorite! The key ingredients that make these sandwiches so magical are simply two things: their bread and the addictive basil aioli sauce. Imo, bread is always the foundation of a good sandwich and Juno's has perfected a chewy, crunchy and airy vehicle with simple yet delicious ingredient combinations and just the right amount of sauce. I also appreciated how each sandwich comes with your choice of side: either thinly sliced herb potatoes or balsamic salad. It's crazy that I've been living here for over three years and only just tried this place for the first time?! A super no-frills deli with friendly staff, Juno's officially wins my vote for the best sandwiches in town. PS: closed on Sundays and Mondays and cash-only but if you forget there's an ATM conveniently located at the liquor store across the street

I opted for a chicken sandwich with as side of buffalo fries and my sister opted for a burger with a side of fries. They had a DJ and sports games on the TV so it was a little loud inside, but nothing too bad. The food came out relatively quickly and we were excited to dig in! The sandwich was very flavorful and definitely my favorite part of the meal. The chicken was juicy and the veggies tasted fresh. The buffalo fries were also good. However, the buffalo sauce was a little too overpowering and next time I will ask for it on the side. I ended up requesting an extra side of ranch to help with the taste. My sister enjoyed her burger. Overall, we had a pretty good experience and would come back.
