Turkey and Roast Beef Sandwich on a Roll
Linford E.

Located off the beaten path on a road that needs re paving, is a sub shop with a lot of potential. It is hard to miss driving by with little signage and next to an unassuming salon. The staff is friendly, but not very happy or at least the day I visited. The food was good and I will come back. When leaving, my sub fell through the bottom of my brown paper bag. Like I said, lots of potential, but with a little more welcoming staff and more reliable bags, I would have been able to rate this establishment higher.

Was getting my car serviced and I walked over and got the Baja turkey and initially wasn't impressed by the presentation . However, if there's a place that can make a good sandwich it is Surf And Sub Deli l and I'll for sure come back! The lady at the front counter was so nice too.Prices were good

Delicious food, great service, and staff were helpful with recommendations! Excited to try other menu items next visit :)

$7 for a breakfast croissant chock full of real egg, bacon, cheese, avocado, and a lil slather of mayo that tastes even better than it looks? What a dream!That was including the $1.50 charge for avocado too! Officially, breakfast ends at 11, however the lady helping me was kind enough to still make the croissant for me when I came in at 11:30ish which I really appreciated. Polite, quick service, delicious, freshly made vittles in a clean, quiet space plus at a steal of a price... all of the above makes Surf n Sub a great go-to option for sandwiches in the area and tasty food in general when you don't want to brave a line or crazy parking.

My foodja order that wasn't even close

This deli is on our lunch list for Foodja delivery at work. The first time I chose a salad and it really wasn't very good. Today, I thought maybe the good Yelp reviews are based on sandwiches. My order clearly stated add onions, lettuce, mustard, tomatoes, and extra meat on ciabatta bread. What I got has no tomatoes, onions, questionable extra meat (additional $3) and wasn't on ciabbata. How can a $17 6" sandwich go so wrong?

C12. Baja Turkey Sandwich no cheese

Phenomenal subs made fresh! This family owned shop is the absolute best and everyone needs to visit to experience the great service and tasty food!

This lil shop is located in the industrial part of Kearny Mesa in San Diego and came here based upon my other yelpers' reviews. I can tell you for the sandwiches, we were not disappointed. I viewed the menu online prior to making my entrance through the door. This shop has a small parking lot shared with others in the complex, as well as street parking - but like everywhere first come first served. It seems like a lot of locals ventured here and pre-order their food. I noticed a soup special menu upon entering the door. I ordered the tomato basil for my SO, however and unfortunately he did not quite like it much. I didn't think it was too bad, wasn't great but okay. He was hoping to dip his sandwich in the soup. Otherwise our sandwiches were fully stocked with avocado and chicken and did I mention delicious? the bread comes from the California Baking Company and their bread is super delicious! I even went the healthier route and ordered a wheat - it was the best wheat I have tasted in a long time. Accordingly, the sandwiches are about $10+- depending on what you order. They have bottled beverages in the cold cases and offer some cold salads (potato salad etc.) in half pint containers. We will definitely be back to try other sandwiches as it was all made fresh and super delicious! Staff was friendly and efficient with the amount of orders for the time I came and the foot traffic in-and-out.

Amazing/ great sandwiches freshly made to order. Service was kind and the place is quiet and comfortable

Baja turkey on squaw bread
Vanessa G.

Searched through my Yelp for a good deli to try on my lunch. Happy to say I found an amazing one today. This sandwich was crisp and not one speck of dryness. Their Chipotle mayo was impressive it had the perfect hint of spice. I tried the Baja turkey on squaw bread toasted with extra spears of pickle. Todays lunch was a hit I'm coming back tomorrow morning to try a breakfast croissant

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!

I'm pleased to report that Beyer Deli was everything you said it was. Thanks Yelpers!…read more Now that's a sandwich! The hours may be a little skimpy, but the meats are bountiful...pause. A little off the beaten path...yes Selective hours while you're probably working...yeah Worth an extended lunch to grab one of these sandos...Absolutely! Dena and the crew are putting together some seriously delicious and well-thought-out, stacked sandos. While you won't be getting a footlong roll, the sizable portion of fillings makes for an excellent meat to bread ratio. And speaking of bread, while most of the sandwiches come on a fresh torta roll, you also have your choice of sourdough, wheat, rye, squaw, French roll, wrap, or croissant. Now that's wassup. What I tried on this visit: The New Yorker and The Italian Both sandwiches were absolutely fire. I started with the Italian and the first thing I noticed was the beautiful, shimmering, thinly sliced red onion. The shine on the veggies immediately let me know they were perfectly dressed with oil and vinegar. Upon separating the two halves to reveal the innards, layers upon layers of freshly sliced meats were waiting to be devoured. First bite...ecstasy. Not only were the veggies dressed, they were also seasoned. The combination of the flavorful proteins, tasty veggies, and fluffy torta, were a HIT! This sandwich was juicy in all the right ways. My only wish is that I would have substituted the American cheese with more provolone or swiss. Moving on to The New Yorker...Hello Pastrami!! Bomb, bomb, bomb. Both the corned beef and the pastrami were smackin' on this hot sando. Wonderfully tender, lean, flavorful proteins were packed inside this torta for absolute deliciousness. I wish I had one right now. The only thing that would have made this better was some horseradish mustard. Along with sandwiches there are breakfast items including bagels and a burrito, salads, soups, chips, and a famous brownie. Unfortunately, the brownies were sold out by the time I arrived, but I'll definitely pick one up the next time they're available. Great pickles, free parking, a few outside tables, and some inside seating rounds out the experience. Call ahead to minimize the wait. Thanks Dena and crew! I'll be back!!!

Finally had the chance to try this place. A cousin of mine grew up in the area and has always told…read moreme to come but I just now had the chance. I had the New Yorker and when I asked I didn't know what brea to pick so I was recommended sourdough with provolone cheese. I devoured the sandwich it was so good.

You can tell they remember the returning customers when someone comes in to pick up an order and they mention, "you remember" pertaining to a specific way they like an order. Heads up, it's cash only

Love The Marketplace…read more Pick a sandwich. Any one. They're all good. If you're a Reuben lover, you have to try one. Beyond delish! A variety of soups available, on a rotating schedule. They do sell out of some, though, so if you want some of the soup, you need to get here before dinner. Lunch availability for soups is generally best mid-morning to mid-day. Try the clam chowder. Yum with a capital Y-U-M. Chicken noodle is also excellent. Great beer selection in their refrigerated case. Look carefully, as you may miss something you really would like to try. Many local craft breweries available, but if you want the national brands, they have those too. Excellent service from the kitchen staff and the checkout staff. Be aware, though, this place does get really crowded at lunchtime, so you'll most likely have to wait in line to check out. Order your sandwich, go to pay and your sandwich will be ready before you know it. Chow down!

OMG... we just found THE pizza. We got the veggie pizza…read morewith added pepperoni from the Marketplace in Bakers Hill, and I swear, we were like two idiots sitting there raving about it. It was THAT good. The crust was perfectly crispy, the toppings were the perfect amount, and they were spread out so every bite had the right combination. And the flavor?! Oh my God. But here's what really got me: there was absolutely NO greasy, gooey mess. Nothing soggy, nothing weighed down with cheese or oil. That's what kept the crust so perfectly crisp all the way through. It was just really, really well-made pizza. And an 18-inch pizza was only $27, with HUGE slices. Seriously, what a deal. Ordering online was super easy, and it was ready in less than 30 minutes. We picked it up and basically couldn't stop talking about how good it was. Hands down, the best pizza we've had in this area. This one is going into the rotation. And at $27 for an 18-inch? I'm already thinking about when we're getting the next one.

This review is for the experience we had at the deli. If I could give negative stars, I would. It was our first time visiting, and we were unsure of the ordering process (if there were order slips or if we ordered at the counter etc.). When we went up to ask, we were laughed at by three guys who were working. The guy who ended up taking our order made a snide remark about how it's not that hard to order and we don't need to act stupid to get his attention. This was entirely off-putting, and yet we still ordered when we should have walked out then and there. We were taken aback by his remark and after ordering, he scoffed because one of them was vegetarian. He turned to his buddies and said "what's the point of going to a deli if you're not gonna order any meat!", loudly enough that we could hear. The service was god awful that we almost threw out the sandwiches, and honestly could've made a better one at home. Veggies tasted old, barely any cheese, avocado was nasty, and the turkey was way too salty. Won't be back.

We typically go to Iowa Farms since it's close to us and we're familiar with the location. We love getting the potato salad and bbq baked beans (prepackaged) sides there when we stop in, but if you're not early on the weekend, they usually run out. So we decided since we'd be in the Bay Park area, we'll check out the original location, Siesel's. Glad we did! I wanted to make a slow cooker brisket one weekend, so it was perfect. Siesel's is a bit larger than Iowa Farms and feels a bit more open. Same great cow awaiting outside the store. But they have a whole deli counter with all the sides plus more! They didn't have any ready made prepackaged bbq baked beans, it was better, made fresh daily and we were able to get as much as we wanted at the deli counter. They also have several different Siesel's signature potato salads and pasta salads that aren't offered prepackaged at Iowa farms, which I absolutely love! My favs are the Asiago pasta and deviled egg potato salad. We also decided to try their Tri-tip sandwich made to order at the deli and it was delicious! Fluffy bun piled high with Tri-tip covered in bbq sauce and have the option to add cheese and anything else. Love it! Staff is always very helpful. Parking lot can get full on the weekends, and they can run out of the pre-prepared meats in the front counter, but make sure to ask if there's any more in the back or they may be able to prepare some for you! We'll definitely be back! Until next time! :) Simply the best! Series: 17 2026: 34
