HIGHLY RECOMMEND! A coworker recommended this sandwich shop to us. They are on the Yelp's 2025 Top 100 Sandwich Shops in the Country, and well- deserving. We are almost never in the small, non-assuming town of Isleton unless we're driving to or from Stockton. But this little sandwich shop is way worth the stop - go check them out! Food was amazing!! After eating here, I cannot eat at any other sandwich shop again. Seriously! It's that good. We ordered The Bobby with Sourdough Roll, Pastrami, Mortadella, Provolone, Mayonnaise, Dijon Mustard, Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, Oil & Vinegar - delicious and a hearty size. We also got The Angela with Croissant, Roast Beef, Pepper Jack Cheese, Mayonnaise, Dijon Mustard, Pepperoncini Peppers, Sprouts, Tomato, Red Onion. Both sandwiches were delicious. We also ordered two zombie sandwiches for a light dinner later that night. They are like bread buns stuffed with sandwich meat and cheese. Very good! You can have them heat the zombies for you. Service was great. The guy who took our order was friendly, respectful, and attentive. They have bottled drinks, chips, and jams and other items from local family-owned businesses. There's no indoor or outdoor seating, so plan to order and go! There's only a small entrance and ordering area inside the restaurant. This is definitely a small business that deserves to be patronized. Go check them out! read more

You really can't go wrong with a sandwich from McBoodery. Their homemade bread is incredible and makes every sandwich stand out. The portions are generous, each sandwich is beautifully made, and somehow tastes even better than it looks. Always watching on instagram for the thanksgiving zombie Don't skip dessert! They make them fresh in-house, and they're absolutely worth saving room for. I love the strawberry short cake The restaurant itself has a cozy small-town charm, decorated with local photos and a fishing-themed atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Mike and his wife are there every single day, and their friendly, welcoming service is a big part of what makes this place so special. We're lucky to have this hidden gem in town. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend stopping by,you won't leave hungry or disappointed. read more

I have a habit of saving restaurants when I see/hear about them around that world so that one day if I'm in the neighborhood I can put up my map and see if I have anywhere nearby I can try. That's how I ended up here. Not sure where I originally heard of it, but it was pinned and so I went. Tasty, tasty sandwiches. The meat was high quality and the GF/keto bread acted and tasted like regular bread. I ordered whatever GF special they had listed and really enjoyed it. Looks like they had some pasta salads and desserts I would have loved to tried. Called ahead so pick up was quick and easy. $18 for a smaller sandwich kind of hurt, but the side quest joy made it worth it. From what I saw, no seating, just a counter for pick up. Enjoy! read more

This is a neat little shop located in a very very quiet town of Isleton. It is one of the few business that are surviving the area in this historic town. Inside you will find items that some of the locals make and are sold here as well as what the owners provide as well. The sandwiches here are really delicious and a decent portion. We have visited here twice before a wine tasting event to take a meal with us and enjoy while we sip. You will not find you normal seating area here, only if you are waiting for your order, only will you have a small bench to wait on. Roses are fresh and made quickly. The owners/staff are polite, know lots of the locals and have conversations throughout visits. You can purchase small side orders to go along with your sandwich. Items like chips or potato salad or sweets are homemade and readily available. This is not your average sandwich shop. You can definitely taste the goodness read more

We went down to isleton because of this spot, saw it was on a top 100 list for Yelp and had to see what the hype was all about. I can say, the hype is real and it's actually worth driving an hour for the sandwiches and zombies! A really cute shop and they have other stuff like cookies, deli sides, merch. The Bobby: A Loved the mortadella and pastrami. They pile the meat on! The mayonnaise and vinegar complement these meats well and the sourdough roll has a nice soft texture, very easy to bite into. Prosciutto and brie Zombie: A+ This is a must try. It's a brioche bun stuff with various filling options. The brie and prosciutto one was amazing and it's richness was well balanced out with sweet slices of pear inside. read more

I was in Iselton today visiting a local community and the manager mentioned all of the great local eateries. He said The McBoodery was a must try. I usually stay away from sandwich shops because I find them disappointing most of the time. Not today though. I had one of the Best Pastrami sandwiches that I've ever had. I enjoyed a side of homemade potatoe salad (only one of many options), and a huge chocolate chip cookie for later. Don't miss this local gem. read more

This is one of those places I don't want to rave about so that I never risk them running out of my favorite zombies! I love this place and it's a must stop whenever I am in the area and have yet to have a bad thing. The sandwiches are to die for and as a Bay Area kid the zombies are always so so good. read more

I discovered this place about 2 months ago, and have returned about 8 times for the hot Club croissant! My new favorite. The desserts are very good as well! The best banana pudding every! read more

You're already ahead of the game when you make your own bread. I'd show up just did that. Their chip selection was what to expect from a deli so they will for sure have what you like, drinks are about the same. The service was perfect. From the order to the built sandwich was 5 stars. Quaint little shop in a small town so it definitely felt as such. I also had their home made beef jerky and it's a go back for on the mango habanero. Sandwich's looked so big I didn't try any of their deserts but I'll be back to try it all. read more

I have been wanting to try this sandwich shop. I ordered the lunch special which was turkey, cranberry sauce, blue cheese crumbles and picked onions with mayo in a croissant and it all went tighter so well! The croissant was fresh and they made the order while I waited. My husband and mother tried the zombies which they said were delicious! We got a brownie as well as some pesto salad. They had an assortment of baked goods that all looked amazing! The food was made fairly quickly and they provided us with utensils and napkins. There isn't anyplace to eat in the store but I heard there are some picnic tables down the street. This is a must do if you like sandwiches and find yourself by Isleton. read more

It's very seldom that I crave for hot sandwiches but when I do- let's just say that I am super blessed to live in the same city as The McBoodery! We have our favorites on rotation: Sarah's Pastrami, The Lyle, The Lavonna to name a few. Daily Specials are usually posted on IG, keep a look out for soups or desserts! The owners are chill- they also make homemade jerkys that my husband makes sure to grab for me every now and then. read more

The McBoodery - Thank you for the delicious lunch! - Sandwiches Near Me - Isleton, California

This delightful family owned business is absolutely awesome. Mom and pop owned business are the best ever. It was a treat to find this treasure in this historic fascinating town of Isleton . ( which by the way is where Pat Morita the sensi star of karate kid was born June 28 1932 My daughter and I rolled in after reading their five star reviews and were not disappointed. She had a veggie sandwich on a fresh sourdough roll which she raved about. I had a turkey sandwich on soft fresh whole wheat bread and made fast work of it. The one small container of delicious potatoes salad disappeared quickly . It was that good! The lure of the unique zombies lured us in. For take home for later. My son law will have the pleasure of the zombie when he gets off work. Give this place a try you will be glad you did! Bon appétit . read more

AMAZING sandwiches!! my friends and i came to check out and we loved the vibe and the service was great

The McBoodery offers delicious, fresh (made daily) food using local ingredients. The owners put love and dedication into everything they prepare. Not only do they make staples like standard sandwich options and salads, but they also experiment and change things up frequently. The Zombies (fresh brioche that is baked with cheeses, veggies, meats and sauces inside) are always amazing. They have both meat and vegetarian options. They offer gluten free bread for sandwiches. They also always have homemade potato and pasta salads and fresh desserts that utilize in season, local fruit. Of course their brownies are delish, especially topped with Gunther's ice cream! There is a lot more I could list, but I'll just end by saying you cannot go wrong eating at The McBoodery!! read more

Family that runs this place is super nice Always get good sandwiches here and the special menu has some good hits. Affordable too + we always try to buy some sandwiches for the work crew We're moving but will go out of our way to support this place read more

We stopped by this sandwich spot in Isleton, a small town right off River Road, and it ended up being one of the best food stops we've had in a while. We came in starving and picked it based on reviews and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Walking in, it's a small hole-in-the-wall with a ton of character. There's a lot to look at plants, sauces, mustards, desserts, and pastries it just feels like a place that cares about what they're doing. The staff were also incredibly friendly. They offer a build-your-own menu, plus a list of favorites on the back. I went with "The Bobby" (no tomatoes), and it was outstanding. Easily one of the best sandwiches I've had something I'd go back for regularly without hesitation. My dad has Celiac disease, so he ordered gluten-free. Anyone familiar with gluten-free bread knows it can sometimes fall apart, but that's not on this place and more importantly, he couldn't stop talking about how good his sandwich was. That says a lot. This place absolutely deserves five stars. Great people, great atmosphere, and seriously good sandwiches. We'll definitely be back. read more

This place is a little gem!! We recently took the scenic route from the east bay to el grove and were so happy we stopped in to grab some lunch!! It was our first time in Isleton and we just fell in love with it! Our sandwiches were absolutely delicious and the staff were super friendly, helpful and quick! They have such a cute decor. We couldn't leave without purchasing some of their amazing beef jerky and when we left, we quickly finished the pineapple jalapeño one - YUM!! If we lived closer we would come here on a weekly basis! Highly recommend!! read more
