My sole complaint about the sub was that the sourdough roll was too crunchy. I'm not sure why but next time I will try the sweet roll to see if it's any better. Other than that the only recommendation for the business would be for the staff to be pleasant more pleasant. I did not myself interact with them but I observed other customers simply ask about their orders and the person working the register was clearly agitated and replied with snippy comments.

Freaking Amazing Sandwiches!…read more Large menu with interesting options, not just your ordinary turkey, ham, or salami. They got some you wouldn't think of, outside the box. The service was fast and the food is affordable, regardless of price though, it's worth it! Simple standard deli ambience.

We were on a short vacation to the City and stayed in a favorite hotel two blocks away from…read moreLimoncello. In researching places near where we were staying, we learned about the Italian deli and shop. We were looking forward to stopping by to check out the store and grab lunch. The store itself is very cute and charming, full of so many items - fresh meats and cheeses, imported olive oils, pastas, desserts, wine, and liquor to name a few. There is an area where you can get coffee drinks and there is a deli area for ordering sandwiches, pizzas, specialty dishes, and salads. The variety of options is plentiful. I ordered an iced coffee beverage, which was great. My significant other and I ordered a sandwich to go, which we were splitting for a light lunch back at the hotel. The person helping at the counter was not very friendly or helpful with questions. We asked for our sandwich to be made on the Dutch Crunch bread, as we were looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, when we got back to the hotel, it turned out that the sandwich was made on a regular ciabatta roll, which was not fresh. Additionally, the sandwich was mostly mixed greens. For the price, I expected more meat. With so many great food options in San Francisco, it is likely we won't stop by on future visits to the City.

Perfection- only way to describe the sandwich. Every single bite was a perfect ratio of bread,…read moremeat, sauce and condiments. Not one bad bite in the whole sandwich. Portion size was perfect as well. The best sandwich I had in SF and one of the best sandwiches I've had anywhere. Service- I got here early as I knew the line would get long. Took about 30-40 min from start to eating my sandwich so not bad. Grab and go spot so there's no bathroom or really any seating. I found a bench down the block to eat. 10/10 experience- wish I grabbed a sticker or other merch!

Many say this is the best sandwich in SF so at 11.15am on a Saturday, I decided to find out. Was…read morenot expecting a 45 minute wait even when going so early! I paid for 1 hour of parking and was lucky the meter maid didn't come by since it took about 1 hr 10 minutes including the 15 minute wait for the sandwich to be ready, and the walk over. I ordered their most famous sandwich, the 49er which is corned beef, pastrami, brisket, white American cheese, cherry peppers, coleslaw, 1000 island, board sauce, on a French roll. For $24 I was expecting a larger sandwich, it was only about 6" long. It's a good sandwich, I would rate it 4 stars, but honestly the coleslaw and cherry peppers didn't contribute enough to the flavor - it needed more tanginess. A positive was that they give you two pieces of pickles to help balance the flavors, but I would not order this sandwich again, nor would I go back to Deli Board since it wasn't worth the wait. Their Coke is in glass bottles which looked cool but not at all recommended for cars since it tipped over too easily.

Tried the Bergeron, colloquially dubbed the crab Rangoon sandwich by the Instagram/TikTok…read morecommunity, and the quintessential Call Me Serge, one of their most popular sandwich varieties. Between the two, it was genuinely difficult to pick a favorite, a strong statement coming from someone who's particularly opinionated about her sandwiches. To be frank, this blows Deli Board out of the water. I'll find that sometimes sandwiches don't exceed the sum of their parts, but Dolores Deluxe does a wonderful job balancing ingredients and doesn't rely on any "dirty" sauce or "comeback" sauce or whatever indulgent sweet/spicy mayo-based concoction prefixed with whatever provocative adjective as many artisanal sandwich restaurants seem to do nowadays. It's simply an amalgam of fresh ingredients that speak for themselves. The Bergeron, for instance, includes pluots, American cheese, and a kohlrabi slaw, unique ingredients, sure, but used not in the name of gimmick but for sheer flavor. The owner is also super sweet, and I'm happy that people showed up in droves for the last day of this decently viral crab Rangoon sandwich. Will definitely be back for a Dolo sandwich picnic again.

Dolores Deluxe is truly a rare gem in the city! Their sandwiches are SO good and unlike anything…read moreI've had before. Every sandwich is unique, with such thoughtfully curated ingredients that somehow come together to create the most perfectly balanced flavors. Call Me Serg is always a hit and one of my favorites! But I just tried their newest Deluxe Baguette with pickled veggies, pork confit, and duck liver mousse and WOW. CHEF'S KISS The creativity is unmatched! And don't even get me started on their banana pandan pudding (okay, ALL their puddings are amazing) and chocolate chip cookie -- an absolute MUST. They also have some of the most unique snacks I've never even seen or heard of before! Ramsey is such an incredible chef and creator. You can tell how much thought and passion goes into everything. Honestly, some of these sandwiches could easily cost more considering the quality of the ingredients and craftsmanship, but they keep them so reasonably priced! If you're a foodie, you NEED to check this place out. Dolores Deluxe deserves all the love and recognition!

Nowadays, everyone offers Dutch crunch bread, so I wasn't expecting much…read more I was pleasantly surprised that the bread was not only flavorful but also incredibly crunchy and dense, one of the better sandwich spots around the city that I will recommend from here on out. The San Franpsycho was incredibly decadent, full of sauce that made the sandwich rich. It got a little overwhelming near the end, but it's still worth it for the price. Can't wait to go back and try the other sandwiches they have to offer

I ordered the T Line, Smoked halal Turkey, seasoned halal pastrami, cheddar cheese, M-Stop garlic spread, mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, jalapeño, banana peppers, pickles, onion, topped with M-sauce and chipotle sauce. Bread was on point, the Pastrami was a little salty for me. I also would have liked a little more sauce, but that's just me. Nonetheless it was still a good tasting sandwich. As for portions, to most people it would be a pretty nice portion. But to me this sandwich felt small compared to other spots I've been too. This sandwich weighed 1lb 2oz. I paid $28 for a sandwich, soda and chips. The taste was there, the store vibes were there but the value just isn't there for me. It's still hard to compare because each spot is unique. Nonetheless, it was a good tasting sandwich and I'm eager to try their other sandwich combinations.
