    Vegan Fried Chick
    Grace X.

    Got a sandwich here for the second time and was pretty disappointed- I ordered the same sandwich as last time (vegan fried chicken) but it was nowhere near as good. First of all, I ordered it on sliced sourdough and they gave me a french roll. I also specified no tomato and they left the tomato in. The sandwich is also supposed to have shredded lettuce and pickles, they gave me leaf lettuce and no pickles. Food was still really tasty but the inconsistency and failure to follow instructions is pretty sad...

    Burnt onion rings asked for no mayo got extra mayo wanted a coke got a Pepsi

    Subway has better sandwiches I spent $25 for a cold tri trip ringer, cold fries and a warm Pepsi can oh and service inside everyone so busy serving cold food it's too much to ask for ketchup

    Almost $50 spent and they get the bread wrong. Pay more attention to orders.

    I came on a day that was not busy at all, ordered two sandwiches, and they got the bread wrong. They seem more interested in joking around and cursing in Spanish with each other than getting orders right. The Mac and cheese is more like just cheese soup. Expensive, would not recommend.

    Dirty Bird sandwich
    Terry C.

    This is a small local chain serving a great variety of deli sandwiches with fresh ingredients. I had the Dirty Bird on soft French bread and my wife had the tuna and avocado on sourdough. Both were fresh and tasty. We took them on a picnic, so we didn't add anything else, but they also offer a variety of sides, chips and cookies. Every now and then they give out a free cookie! The staff was efficient and polite, and the store is conveniently located off of Saint Francis in Sunnyvale where you can eat outside on a nice day.

    Don's Delhi Sandwich

    Best casual place to fill a sandwich craving. Reasonable prices, good selection of vegetarian sandwiches, and delicious Dutch Crunch bread made this such a great place to get sandwiches. Loved the option to customize your sandwich, and especially the protein - vegetarian fake chicken or falafel into any sandwich. I tried the Dons Delhi and would recommend it to anyone wanting seasoned falafel and sundried tomatoes. Got some outdoor seating and mishapped indoor seating, so best is to pick up and take on a hike or takeout!

    Lunchtime!!

    This is our favorite sandwich place whenever we are at downtown Sunnyvale & want to eat sandwiches. We ordered couple of sandwiches Togo during lunchtime... You can choose your bread for the sandwich and u can also opt for full or half sandwich with soup ( combo) The Pesto Chic Hot Chicken, Mozzarella & Basil Pesto w/Mayo, Dijon Mustard, Herbed Olive Oil, Shredded Lettuce, Tomatoes & Red Onions we choose on whole wheat bread. Rotating special- Horsin' Around- tri trip sandwich We choose Dutch crunch bread Both the sandwiches very delicious as always. We love their quality & yummy taste. It was quite filling very generous portions. We have tried many different flavors of sandwiches from the time they opened their doors at Sunnyvale location... it's a beautiful addition to the downtown amongst the various food choices we have. They also have outdoor seating!!!

    Microwaved Mac and cheese

    As seen in previous reviews this place is DIRTY! I've come here a few times over the years and today was notably the worst. The seating area was dirty, and you can see in the back it was as well. Now this is my first time looking behind the counter and all of the employees make sandwiches with their bare hands ! And we're talking touching the deli meat, produce, everything. Straight from the register/back area right into touching food with no handwashing in between. I told them it was gross what I saw, and she claimed the girl making it was new, so then gloves came on. But of course it was the samething. Now they were touching everything and back to the food but with gloves on. There was another man in the back making a huge order bare hands still. Someone needs to seriously teach them how to properly handle food. Either wash or change your gloves before making food... I didn't think it was that hard. (The design is they get to hide behind that tall counter so clearly no one sees what they're really doing) Not to mention today my sandwich that I always get (the slammer) didn't taste as good, I'm pretty sure the special mustard wasn't added and was missing onions. I also went on a whim and try the Mac and cheese. Not only is it not good but I saw them microwaving it , you can see my cooked cup for further proof. They shouldn't even have it offered as a side dish. I don't know man. I'm annoyed and disappointed with the whole experience, but most importantly they need to seriously get their cleanliness in order.

    The menu on the wall

    We picked up a couple of sandwiches to-go. The quality of the ingredients was remarkably fresh and the establishment was run very cleanly and efficiently. We ordered the rotating special - Horsing around and I can attest that it was amazing!! We will be back soon!!

    Love their cuban sandwich especially and the fries are good. They have a white BBQ sauce that is great for dipping.

    I've tried so many sandwich spots around the Bay Area, and this one is hands down my favorite!…read more I'm absolutely obsessed with their Dutch Crunch bread--it's perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My go-to order is: * Dutch Crunch bread * Tri-tip * Onion * Tomato * Sprouts * Black olives * Pepper Jack cheese * Pesto mayo * Chipotle mayo Every bite is so flavorful, and I find myself coming back whenever I'm craving a great sandwich. What do you all order? I'd love to hear your favorite combinations!

    One of the best deli Sammich spots in the bay!…read more Grab an order form and build your masterpiece. My go to order is: Pastrami Sliced sourdough Pepper jack cheese Dijon mustard Mayo Sprouts Lettuce Tomato Red onion Pickles Pepperoncini Salt n pepper Oil n vinegar The flavor combo is amazing! The Sando techs here are really Artists, the way they stack the meats and condiments evenly, you can taste the love here! I have been coming here for years and always have a great experience. They also have a fantastic gourmet, grocery section and exceptional meat counter, along with wine, beer and cheese galore. There's also another room with a salad bar and a more gourmet French style selection of sandwiches and they have soups also. There is plenty of outdoor seating too. One stop shopping and eatery! You can also fax your order/s in ahead of time for group orders. If you want a delicious solid Sammy, this is the spot!
