#9 Italian Style on squaw
Ryan N.

Cozy family run sandwich spot, open since 1979. Used to go here a lot when we lived in Tierrasanta, if you're ever in the area though it's worth a stop! No frills with fresh bread and sliced deli meat, our go to is the #9 Italian style on squaw bread. Call ahead if you can, the wait is worth it!

It fits!
Kaci S.

Order your giant sandwich 3 days ahead and you will not be disappointed. Submarina is our favorite sandwich spot, so ordering this for my husband's retirement pool party was a no-brainer. They are efficient and kind, made sure we had what we needed and got our $50 cash deposit back when we brought their board and dressing bottle back. 10/10 would recommend!

Tuna melt
Courtney J.

Wow wow wow! The sandwiches here are so delicious. Ive gotten the tuna melt with the works twice now. Both times equally as good. The toppings are so fresh. The bread is so perfectly toasted, a bit crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Highly suggest this place!

This sandwich shop is by far one of the best in San Diego and my favorite hands-down. The service from this family owned establishment is always really good and professional. Everything from the bread and meat is fresh and so tasty. I've tried other things here before like the turkey, and Italian, but I my go to is the roast beef sandwich and it is perfect everytime. We tried some homemade pickles on this visit and those were really good too. This is the only place where you can have your sandwich later on or the next day and it's still just as good. I've never had a sandwich that I could eat as leftovers later on and this one is the exception. If you love deli sandwiches made with fresh and quality ingredients, you gotta check this spot out if you're ever in the area. I love 30 min away and it's worth the drive!

Delicious!! My second time here, the bread is soft the sandwiches are packeddddd and the flavors HIT and let's not forget about the giant pickles you can ask for to complete!! Abs for extra point it's a family owned restaurant that has been for decades! Support local!

Our favorite sandwich shop in the neighborhood, hands down the best! PROs: Amazing family owned-operated sandwich shop in Tierrasanta. The menu covers just about any sandwich craving you may want. Our favorites and Dena's Favorite and the Meatball sub. The decor in here is all historical of the neighborhood and very cool. Plenty of indoor/outdoor seating. The staff is ALWAYS clean, attentive, efficient, and courteous. It's like having a family member make you a meal. Plenty of parking and lots of combo options. CONs: When it's busy, there may be a wait because the care that is put into each sandwich takes time so please understand that. Much higher quality than a fast food place like Subway.

I was craving fries and happened to be nearby, so I decided to give this place a try since I love…read moretheir fries at Petco Park! I thought I'd just get the fries since cheesesteaks seem to be their specialty, and I don't eat beef. But I decided to try their Chicken Ranch sandwich. The sandwich was better than I expected. I was picturing the basic grilled chicken sandwich--a piece of grilled chicken on a hamburger bun. Instead, it was loaded with tender, flavorful chicken, bacon, white American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and ranch. Totally messy to eat, but in the best possible way! And the Cheez Whiz fries were exactly what I was craving. They definitely hit the spot. Customer service was excellent too! So glad I stopped in!

After a six-hour tattoo session, I had earned two things: a cheesesteak and absolutely no judgment…read moreabout the amount of food I was about to eat. Being from Philly, I take my cheesesteaks very seriously. Probably more seriously than a reasonable adult should. So when I finally tried Gaglione Bros. in San Diego, I went in hopeful. First, the good stuff. The staff was wonderful, genuinely friendly, the place was clean, and there were plenty of options. They even had Amoroso rolls and fresh-shaved prime rib. On paper, we were speaking my language. But whenever I try a new "Philly cheesesteak" place, I order my first steak plain. No cheese, no onions, no peppers, no hiding behind toppings. If you want to call yourself a Philly steak shop, the steak and bread should be able to stand on their own. Unfortunately, this one didn't. The meat was heavily salted and peppered, surprisingly dry, and every couple of bites I was pulling out pieces of fat. And nothing makes you question your dining choices quite like discreetly removing a piece of steak from your mouth in public. For me, a great cheesesteak has balance. The meat should be tender and juicy, with enough seasoning to bring out the beef rather than overpower it. There should be a little richness from the griddle, the steak juices, and everything cooking around it. Then you add the onions, mushrooms, peppers, cheese or whatever your particular Philly allegiance demands. This steak just didn't have that softness or heart. It honestly reminded me more of the tourist cheesesteak experience in Philly. And my fellow Philadelphians know exactly what I mean when I say that. A real Philly cheesesteak isn't complicated food, but that's precisely why every part matters. The bread matters. The meat matters. The griddle matters. And somehow, when someone really knows how to make one, you can taste the heart in it. Would I try Gaglione Bros. again? Probably not for the cheesesteak. The people were great and the place itself left a good impression, but the steak didn't. Mostly, the experience just left this Philly girl Jonesing for a long weekend back home, a walk down South Street, and a cheesesteak from that place. If you're from Philly, you already know which one I mean.

THE GRUB: We ordered the Jack Hammer [Honey ham, spicy capocollo, bacon, and melted pepper jack,Dijon mustard, mayo,lettuce, & tomato] on a French roll.5/5 stars BBQ Chicken Sandwich.

If you're hungry, these sandwiches will not disappoint. The only miss for me was their BBQ Chicken Sandwich. [Grilled chicken breast, sweet barbecue sauce, melted provolone cheese] I was expecting bold, smoky BBQ flavor, but it was surprisingly sugary sweet and didn't stand out from an average bbq chicken sandwich. It wasn't bad, just only memorable because it was southern sweet tea sweet and not as tasty as the other items.2/5 stars The Down side.. Ordering time and Price $$ & BBQ Chicken Sauce. Order-ahead ,way ahead because even though its a great sandwich ,we ordered 6 total and we wound up waiting up to 1 hr 10 minutes for my order quoted at 30 minutes for pickup we stood by the counter for 30 mins still waiting for the food to be done after giving the 43 minutes before we even arrived for the pickup. Gourmet prices for a 8 inch sub, and that BBQ chicken sandwich take away 2 stars for total experience. THE LIQUOR STORE The attached liquor store was an amazing addition with an impressive selection that honestly could make BevMo blush. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and eager to help. I met Chilean aka Chillin and he had many suggestions and nearly everything I was looking for--except my favorite Sandeman ,10-year 20-year or 40-Year Tawny Port or Sandeman White Port. No worries though, because the tequila, whiskey and Gin I wanted that evening were well stocked and easy to find, and well priced. 4/5 stars for no Sandeman Product in the entire store. IAfter reading about 30 5 star reviews of this place wanted to give this location 5 stars ...... so here's goes. Overall, Cheers Deli is well worth the visit for its incredible sandwich variety ,outstanding liquor selection and genuinely welcoming staff. I'll definitely be back for round 2 before the summer is over.--4/5 stars

I stopped in for a quick sandwich, in between jobs. I was not in a hurry, but I do like speedy…read moreservice. The restaurant had about 5 employees present, so I expected speedy service. A family of three walked in before me and were helped quickly. The staff members were very friendly and helpful. During my order, the staff members were speaking to each other a lot, which did take away from the speed in which my order was completed. (In my last review or a Jersey Mikes in Murrieta, the staff member talked to me, but continued working in a speedy manner). The staff members at this location stopped working, turned and faced each other and were talking about non-business related topics. If you are gonna talk to each other, it needs to be about the meal being worked on or at least don't stop working while you are preparing a customer's meal. This was constructive criticism, not necessarily a complaint. Overall, the service was good, but could have been quicker. Most people get 30- 60 minutes for lunch. So they don't have time to be waiting on the staff members to finish their personal conversations. There was a "not so good" odor in the store, towards the beginning of the line, closer to where you pick your bread. It wasn't foul, just not so good. It eased up as I got closer to the register. My overall experience was good, not great. The sandwich itself.... Was great!! It was the meatiest and cheesiest sandwich I have ever eaten from Jersey Mikes. The sandwich was the bomb. If this review was on the sandwich alone, it would be a "5+," but time is precious so it is only a 4 out of 5. Always Honest, but fair reviews.

I was there Friday night and it was the same as last weekend! I came in there was one person ahead…read moreof me. Nobody else, but the two employees kept working on their online orders!

Coming back to send my love to my favorite sub place…read more I've sadly moved to a different part of town so Fatboy's is no longer a few blocks away. I still try to stop by every few months as this place holds a special place in my heart. A no frills spot. Solid and consistent. To the point but friendly customer service. Fantastic drink, chip and snack selection. Sandwiches are always bomb asf. The hot momma and BLT loaded up is my favorite. My husband still loves their Ruben (it is his favorite place to get it.) You get a small potato or macaroni salad on the side with a pickle (perfect crunch.) I personally think it's a great little add on. Their chili is also simple but delicious. I personally think their chili pairs perfectly with any of their sandwiches. It's not a heavy thick chili. Which is why I think it pairs so well. I won't lie it's a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. It's loaded up and good quality. I never feel gross or overly bloated after eating here. I will be coming back to Fatboy's until I move out of San Diego or die. lol. One of my favorite gems in SD. Always will be worth the drive or walk. Thank you for always delivering even years later.

I used to frequent Fatboy's because it was close and convenient for a long time, but I am rarely able to visit anymore... parking is a bigger challenge every day in North Park, and finding even a 15-minute spot takes way longer than the drive for me now (but the walk is too far to pick up a quick meal). Today I was down the street for something else so decided to order a sandwich. I was excited, then my jaw dropped when I saw the price increases. It's $18 for the North Park Club now, with no extras. I already had a hard time justifying $15 for a sandwich but I'm officially, 100% priced out now. I know it's not necessarily on the business owners; rent is exorbitant in NP, profit margins are small in the food service industry, and operating costs are high. Our city is eating itself alive, but thank you for the years of sandwiches!
