I finally made it to Summer's Deli on Via Del Campo Ct in San Diego (right around the 16885 spot in that business area), and wow, I'm so glad I did! This was my very first time stopping by, and it definitely won't be my last. The sandwiches are seriously tasty - fresh ingredients, perfectly layered, and just really good overall. I went with one of their classic Torpedo (they have a nice menu with made-to-order options), and every bite was spot-on: great bread, generous portions of meat/cheese/veggies, and that satisfying deli flavor without being over-the-top heavy. The service was friendly and quick too, which is always a plus during lunch hour. It's a cozy little neighborhood spot - nothing fancy, but clean, welcoming, and clearly focused on doing sandwiches right. If you're in the Rancho Bernardo/ Carmel Mountain area and craving a solid deli sandwich, definitely swing by. Highly recommend - 5 stars from this happy first-timer! Will be back soon for sure. read more

I loved the place, not from the area but I stopped by for some sandwiches before we headed out. The place is super charming, the lady out front was super patient and helpful. I could not recommend enough at least giving this place a try read more

Summers Deli is a "mom and pop" restaurant in the Rancho Bernardo Office Park, and is the only eatery I know of in the Park - which makes it convenient for workers there. I have to sing the praises of the Reuben sandwich prepared by Ryan - the pastrami meat melts in your mouth, the toasted bread has just the right crunch, and the sauce is tangy. In addition to sandwiches, healthy food Summers Deli offers is salads (though they're routinely out), and small plastic containers of macaroni salad and potato salad. Unfortunately, they have too much junk food - especially potato chips and sodas. There isn't much interior design to the place - it's boxy and there's miscellaneous stuff around that ought to be put away. There's no recycling at the eatery - which is environmentally irresponsible - and they don't seem interested in fixing their soda machine, which has been broken for weeks. One thing fun about this being a mom and pop place is that you'll find the same people working there at the same times - so it has a family / community feel - unlike at most chain restaurants where it's always someone different working the register. If memory serves, Ryan has been making sandwiches at Summers Deli for over 10 years - and he's friendly, which is nice. The prices for the sandwiches are high, at nearly $12. read more

Eat here regularly. Family owned and operated and they are very nice. Good food, generous portions. Highly recommended! read more

Food was amazing, we had two different sandwiches on different bread and both were fantastic!

Came back and had the Sorrento on toasted rye. If possible it was even better than the torpedo Italiano! read more

Nestled in a little business office park, Summers Deli is a hidden gem. The menu choices are extensive and they have something for everyone. Don't like this or that it's ok.. made to order and fresh fresh fresh. Their salads are exceptional if you can get one before they sell out. Bonus for you if you go on a day they have their homemade brownies.. get two and treat yourself! You won't be disappointed. read more

Sandwich was excellent and the service was quick. Definitely will be coming back when I'm in the area for work.

Today I felt like I did a disservice to Yelp as I haven't written in awhile. Listed on a pad and paper some of best meals I have recently, and I am here to pay them the credit they deserve. This is a working persons place. We need to coin a term for a spot like this. Most people would not know it even exists as it is located in the middle of many office buildings. It reminds me of the places you can dip in to, in the center of NYC. It's only open during business hours and most of the clients work in a walking distance away. The establishment is simple, no frills and they do one thing and one thing well. Sandwiches. I eat here a few times a month, as the toppings are always fresh and the bread has always been soft. The owners are delightful. If I am having a hard day at work, and need a reset I come here. It is a good comfort food deli sandwich and hasn't disappointed yet. Sure, there are many places just right on the other side of the 15, but this is a working persons establishment. Walking distance, quick, always smiling and good food. ... plus you know there are days where you scored that perfect parking spot at work. Why give it up... walk on down to this place for lunch, keep your spot. read more

Finally had a chance to check this local deli out. It was delicious. The sweet lady at the counter and the young man who made my sandwich and offered his suggestion were on point! Both were very kind and welcoming. I had planned on getting a wrap, but the Bomb sandwich sounded too good to pass. Of course, it's stacked full and fresh ingredients. The cream cheese works well with this one on sourdough. I only ate half and hope to finish the other half later. The deli is nice and clean and offers chips, various drinks, and salads, too. I def will be back to try more items. They are now closing at 2 PM as the majority of their business is those in the industrial offices in the surrounding area. If you're in the RB area and want a fresh and old-school deli service, give them a try. read more

Nestled at the base of a nondescript commercial building in Rancho Bernardo is Summers Deli. I have been eating here for almost 20 years. This is a no-frills deli that is open to the public and services the lunch hungry among all the tech companies in the Via Del Campo area. Some of my favorite things to order include the roast beef sammich or tuna salad on white (see photos) or their delicious Torpedo Italiano on toasted French roll. Everything is made to order and service is top-shelf. They're open for breakfast and lunch every weekday. They even offer a nice looking selection of pre-made salads for grab & go. What I really appreciate are the several reserved deli parking spots right outside their front door! read more

So happy this place is so close to my office. I just moved here from the east coast, and I grew up in Jersey where I was spoiled with quality delis. There selection is a bit different than what I'm used to but its all so good it doesn't even matter. Definitely recommend for a nice lunch!! ALSO: Staff is so friendly and awesome, love going here :):) read more

Delicious sandwiches!!! They do not skimp out on the ingredients especially during these COVID times where people are trying to cut costs. Highly recommend! And not to mention the super friendly owners of the deli that make you feel like family read more

Food here is excellent! Had the vegetarian sandwich and it's one of the best I've ever had. Customer service is top notch. The owners are sweet and really make you feel part of the family. Plus I love supporting local business. It's the right thing to do, especially during these difficult times. read more

Convenient little deli amidst this all of the office buildings in the area. The food here will get you through your day at work and that's pretty much it. The service is quick and painless. You order from the menu first and pay when your order is ready. Orders for sandwiches usually come out a few minutes, hot foods take a little bit longer but that is to be expected. They have a solid menu of items, good selection of chips, and a large selection of cold drinks and juices. Everything is decently priced. Items such as chips and drinks are marked up a little. I've had the Bomb and Grenade deluxe sandwiches. Both were good and served as a good lunch. I wish the sandwiches had more value and taste. On inspection, the quality of the ingredients aren't anything to rave about. Everything that goes into the sandwich seem pretty ordinary and generic and all of it together didn't make much of a lasting impression. read more

Nice office park deli! Outdoor seating available. Broad menu and very good food! Like the big variety of beverages available. Met a friend for lunch there - he enjoyed his roast beef sandwich while I had an excellent BLT. Will definitely return. read more

Best sandwiches! When life has you so busy that you don't bring your own lunch, this is the best place to get great food fast. Quality food, great customer service, convenient, large drink selection from their refrigerators. Try the Pollo, the Campo Court, the Philly, the Natural. They have breakfast items too. You won't be disappointed! read more

This place is the last resort when I need food last minute since I work close. I would rather have canned soup sometimes. The Pollo Diavalo sandwich is the best thing on there. The salad is pricey for some iceberg lettuce. I got a quesadilla once, and wanted some peppers in there, and I got charged an extra $2 on a $3.49 quesadilla for the peppers. They told me to pay after the food is out, so what can I say then? read more

Probably the best deli the Poway/Rancho Bernardo area. Why? It's a REAL DELI. They have a good selection of good quality deli sandwiches and that means everything. Sidny's is too pricey. I got the most popular item: The Gyro WRAP. SIGN ME UP! This mystical meat baby could be a home run if they toast up the tortilla to make it less doughy and add maybe add a little avocado. I'll be back soon to eat my way thru the menu but so far so good. Good location with plenty of parking. Few lines/short wait. Prices are about what you'd expect. $6.95-ish Cashier/owner was genuine and friendly. read more

Nice service. Convenient place to have lunch "off site" for Teradata employees. I usually get the sandwiches but they also serve burritos.

This is a decent deli in rancho Bernardo that has fresher tasting sandwiches than the majority of the large chains like subway. For the convenience alone it is worth 4 stars, as it is walking distance to many local businesses. I think the interior could use a little work and the employees could be a little more friendly. However, if you are looking for a quality sandwich to go and are within walking distance there is no better choice. I recommend the chicken pesto! read more

These guys have a great location, they're in an area filled with corporate buildings which probably make way for hundreds of potential customers. Walking in was like walking into a convenience store, sorta like a very small 7-11, where they make sandwiches and wraps too. That said, I had lunch there and I see why it's not more popular. I got a BLT (my favorite type of sandwich). The B was okay, a bit dry though. The L was what I expected it to be, the T was there... but I would've been happier with an extra slice or two. The bread was dry (note: probably means older than a few days). I thought the potato salad wasn't too bad. Around $7.50 for the sandwich and side potato salad. According to yelp's pricing scheme, this is cheap. Personally, I've gotten bigger, much tastier sandwiches for cheaper/same price elsewhere. So while the cost is cheap, so is the value. I'm overall very disappointing, but then again, I also used to work in Point Loma. We had Santana's, The Brown Bag Deli (omg, best sandwiches ever), Phil's BBQ and Chic-Fil-A down the street, an Olive Garden if you wanted, wings, donuts, burgers, basically whatever you wanted. read more

Horrible customer service. I am a traveling preschool teacher so I drive around 80-150 miles in a single day. I decided it would be nice to eat outside of my car for once and drove to Summer's closeby. Despite the fact that I had already brought a drink with me, I ordered a fountain drink so that I would in fact be one of their paying customers. As I was about to open my meal in peace outside, one of the cashiers came out and asked me to leave their tables and to move my car out of their parking. Completely embarrassed (and quite confused because I showed him I was a customer) I had to eat in my car in another random parking lot. Should have gotten a refund, definitely not okay. read more

I love this deli! I've worked in Rancho Bernardo for almost 3 years and I've visited this deli throughout that time. The staff is always super friendly and the food is delicious. It's always a treat to make it here on my lunch time! read more

I love Summer's Deli I have been coming here for years since I work nearby. My favorites are the ATC sandwich and the Greek salad. yummy! The customer service is always great and I am always greeted with a warm greeting and friendly smile. I like the convenience of being able to call in or place your order online then just come in and pick it up or eat it there. Awesome deli. Thanks! read more

Absolutely love this place. Ordered a turkey and provolone sub with everything on it and it was great. Their potato salad and macaroni salad are both really good. Would come here all the time. Reasonably priced!! read more

This place is a godsend sometimes when I'm looking to get something to eat at lunch. The menu is very robust, which is usually typical for a business park deli. I eat here pretty much everyday and have tried most of the menu, breakfast and lunch. I can say I've always been pleased. My fav by far is the Pollo Diavlo sandwich, which is chicken, mozzarella cheese, onions, and bell peppers on a french roll. Mmmm...Prices are good as far a business park delis go. The girls that work there are super nice too. read more

Very large menu, and everything I've had is good. Friendly staff and walking distance from my office. I recommend the Sorrento on rye. They have good daily specials. Also have breakfast and coffee. read more

Came here with a friend for lunch. I have been here several times with him in the past while he picked up food and the place always smells really good. I ended up getting a Cobb Salad (I'm lame I know) and had a mixed reaction when I opened it up. First I'm pretty sure Cobb salads have bacon on them and there was a definite lack of it. However for less than $7 I got a huge salad with plenty of sliced turkey and cheese, olives, tomatoes, and carrots. I was very satisfied with the portions for the price. The staff was very friendly and the place is clean. read more

Score is 3/4....here's the breakdown! Ordered - breakfast potato burrito Price - 4.5 Size - 5(easily) Taste - 3.5 Here are the details...the burrito is massive and exactly what it says, potato, egg, cheese, bacon. Ingredient portions in that order. The issue is that there were so few bites of all flavors. Some very large pieces of potato in burrito where you had 2 to 3 consecutive bites of just potato and egg. Cheese was all melted in 1 area and bacon was sparse... I'll give it a 2nd go...but this was my experience read more

I've seen this place countless times, as I work in the area. I am sad that I had not eaten here sooner! Food was yum (I got a Ruben), lots of beverage choices, I was in and out in under 10 mins. Service was courteous and pricing was decent. Will definitely return! read more
