So good I came back 2 days in a row!…read more Right in the heart of downtown Riverside is the most delicious and precious sandwich shop. Right when we walked in the door, we were hit with the smell of freshly baking bread. We ordered a variety of items from a chicken salad salad, a tuna salad salad, a tuna salad wrap with avocado, a toasted grilled cheese and a turkey avocado sandwich on a croissant. The stars of the show may have been the potato salad and the pasta salad. All and all everything tasted fresh and delicious. My 4-year-old picky eater requested we go back the next day and that's how I knew it was top notch. As if this place couldn't get any better, we had impeccable service from the husband and wife owners each day. They informed us they've been in business over 25 years and the long line developing behind us was a testament just to house special this place actually is. Definitely give this spot a try!

Def stop in and support this place if you're near. If your like me and search for deli when your in a new area. This is the place.

I met a friend here for lunch who told me this is her favorite place to get a sandwich. I agree -…read morethis is one of the best sandwich shops I've been to. The interior decor can be described in one word: Dude! There are a handful of tables inside and a bar where beer on tap is served. As a first-timer, the young woman at the register was friendly and helpful in helping me make decisions after being overwhelmed by their large menu. So many choices! I decided on the Acapulco Gold: BBQ chicken breast pieces, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and dressing. It usually comes with onions too, but I asked that ingredient be left out. She guided me to try it on garlic bread, which was a wise choice (thank you), and her finger measurements helped me decide on how big a sandwich I should get. I made it a combo, which came with a bag of chips and a fountain drink. The sandwich was messy but, as is often the case with messy food, it was incredibly delicious! All the flavors melded well together. Every ingredient tasted so fresh, especially the bread. This is THE place to come if you are craving a sandwich! Note: street parking or pay in a nearby lot

The sandwiches are pretty good. The flavors are pretty classic so you really can't go wrong…read more Are they amazing? I have no idea... I was charmed by their stoner themed names and sizes. But what really made me fall in love with this place are the drinks. In true stoner fashion, there are excellent drink options. Kool aids, sodas, and lots and lots of iced tea options that are all just begging to be mixed together to make the perfect beverage fit your vibe at that moment. Personally, I chose the Strawberry Dragonfruit tea which was very lightly sweetened, a splash of black tea. I could have been more adventurous and added some sprite or whatever the lemon lime stuff is for the bubbles... but another day.

(: We were very grateful for that. I got the Italian Grinder with no red onions and substituted the ham for turkey. I chose the pasta salad as my side, and the sandwich also came with some kind of vinaigrette. The flavors were good, but I think the bread started to come apart near the end, and I personally wish the red peppers had more of a pickled aspect! I also got the Lemon Cheesecake Bar (?), which was yummy, but it does have nuts on top. I think a crumble topping would be even better instead. (: The inside feels a bit dated, but the employees definitely seemed to be keeping it clean. As customers came and went, they cleared the dirty tables pretty quickly. Overall, I'd give this place a 4/5, but 5 stars for the accommodation. :)

I ordered the grilled cheese and you could add sides - i added the tomato soup as well as the raw vegetable salad that was to come with a dip or sauce. I also added a chocolate chip cookie. the grilled cheese was really good - bread quality, taste and portion size was all really good. the tomato soup was also very good in terms of taste and portion size and it paired well with the grilled cheese. the raw vegetable salad with dip or sauce was disappointing as it was only a couple of carrots and cucumbers with ranch dressing - i would not call that a raw vegetable side salad. they did not have the chocolate chip cookie so instead i got a peanut butter cookie which was good

The bread is so soft you try to have leftovers, but it's impossible. I order a roast beef or pastrami sandwich from time to time. The roast beef is soft. I forgot to ask for mayonnaise and mustard, but the sandwich was soft flavorful it didn't need it. The shop is typical deli with some seating inside and some outside. The service is no frills and straight to the point but your order comes out fast . You can even call it in and the order will come out just as good.
