This is a supermarket with a deli inside. My bf needed to eat before his appointment and this was the closest place we could find. It was ok. It is pricey for just a sandwich. The ratio of meat to bread was off. Was left eating just bread after several bites. The pesto was good could use more of it. Service was ok. There was some seating outside. We got a pineapple drink in a can and it was not ok. Had strange after taste.

Popular spot with a long line at lunchtime. I cane here with coworkers on a Friday. I got the bbq brisket special sandwich - Black Beard Special. It did not disappoint. The place really surprised me being located inside a grocery store and yet offering a full line up of delicious smelling food! The cashier took everyone's order so we didn't have to stand in line the whole time waiting to order. I left and looked through the store, getting a drink too. The setting is part deli, barbecue and grocery store combined. It's on the pricey side but par for the area. My sandwich was $18.

This was amazing

We were starving after attending a graduation at Stanford and saw this place off the side of the road and read the "deli" sign. We pulled in so quick. Right when we walked in, there was a wall of colorful drinks to our left side. We were enamored by the options. I picked out a lychee passionfruit tea drink and my sister got a coconut drink. We ordered a special turkey sandwich (forgot the name) with all the works and some chipotle mayo sauce and honey mustard on dutch crunch. The sandwich came out quick and it was astoundingly delicious! The staff seemed friendly and I loved how they had so many unique items inside. We didn't really have time to shop, but I am sure I could spend some time in there if I had time. I would definitely go back for a sandwich when I am in the area.

amazing sándwiches 10/10 The service is amazing. We called to order and by pickup time the order was ready. It did not take more than 10 minutes. It's always a very clean establishment.

This store is a real gem! I used to just go there to buy alcohol as they have an amazing assortment of small brewery beers to choose from in addition to a solid selection of wine and hard liquor especially tequila. !Recently I have been exploring more of what the store has to offer. On Fridays they get fresh fish in, which can be ordered and reserved ahead of time, but I typically I like just to crash the place on Friday or Saturday and see what looks good. Today I got some red eye tuna but their king salmon and halibut are also great quality. If you want something specific definitely order ahead of time. Over the summer I have stopped in to buy a few of their large watermelons as well and have been impressed by the quality relative to what you can get at other stores. They smoke a variety of meats on site that can be ordered as a lunch combination or simply by weight to go. Most folks go for the brisket, ribs and especially the tri-tip. I have tried their smoked meats before and have been very happy with the quality. Today I was in the mood for a proper sandwich. I usually steer away from low sodium turkey as it doesn't sound tasty, but when I asked what they recommended for turkey (they have several choices) they recommended the low sodium. I rounded out the order with bacon, avocado, pickles, pepperonis, tomatoes, onion, lettuce and mayo on a sourdough bun. I also added a small container of potato salad which was delicious just by itself. The sandwich itself was decadent. I would not have expected low sodium turkey to taste so good. It probably helped that I added bacon and avocado to it , but a great healthy/hearty combination. Check out the pic attached as the portion size is very nice! I will be back for more of this sandwich and to try others. For those of you that prefer more red meat on your sandwiches they got you covered as well and will pile it onto make you happy. Definitely a sense of old-school charm at the Willows Marker due to the great customer service here as the staff is very attentive.

Place is awesome ; staff is friendly and helpful. Treated myself to a picnic lunch to take back to the Menlo Park VA Hospital today for myself since I heard so many great things about getting food from here ! So decided to see for myself and it doesn't disappoint folks and fellow veterans! Come on over and see and try it out for yourselves . Definitely worth it , just sorry it took me so long to make it over here because I will definitely be coming back again soon enough!!

Came to the willows market on a Saturday morning hoping to get some bbq. Unfortunately the bbq wasn't ready (it was 7 am lol) so instead they offered to make me a sandwich. I said a breakfast sandwich was fine with whatever they recommended. He made me a egg bacon cheese sandwich on Dutch bread with a chipotle aioli sauce and let me just say this was the best breakfast sandwich I have ever had! Me and my bf split it and It was more than enough to keep us both full!

Kind workers kept my bike bag safe while I wasn't around :,)

They are the best place for wine and beer choices. Their deli sandwiches are very good and outstanding choices for fresh meats.

The food is very good but expensive. The ribs are amazing! I just wish they were more affordable. A slab is about $40.

I've been a regular at Haberdasher in downtown SJ because I appreciate a classy ambiance with a…read morehistoric 1920s speakeasy twist, so when I say that The Wine Room is a sophisticated elevation of that, take note. I would say it feels like a tavern for wealthy noblemen in 1800s England. Allow me to say where it fell short for me, and then I'll sing my praises. The wine... tasted like wine. I don't have a particularly refined palate when it comes to that. The charcuterie board was a collection of expensive items that I am personally not into: miniature pickles (too sour), meat pâté (bland), and what I think were pickled red peppers. There was no cheese, which was highly disappointing; however, if that style of charcuterie suits you, go for it. The music did not match the ambiance at all. They really should play piano or smooth jazz, because the 2010s pop was honestly annoying. DESPITE ALL OF THIS, the crowd was the real pull. Everyone was either on a first date or was an interesting adult. This makes for fun people-watching and stimulating conversations. People were very willing to walk up and talk to strangers. I saw many people doing so, I felt welcome to do so, and people approached me to converse. So even though the food wasn't great, and the music was horrible, I will return funnily enough because the decor and the people were worth it.

We stopped by before turning in, ordering the Fromage du Jour (a selection of domestic and imported cheeses), a Charcuterie plate (with thinly-sliced cured meats, pate de chevreuil, stoneground mustard, cornichon, and purple cabbage kraut), and the Marinated Olives. There is eating both in- and outside, but I recommend in dining al fresco to people watch. The place is small, but it gets busier, as it does open later in the day (4 PM to midnight)! Staff and the bar staff were friendly. +wine and cheeses +friendly staff +dine al fresco

The staff here are genuinely kind, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and always happy to offer a small tasting if you're on the fence with your choice. Their beer is insanely good, especially the hazy pale ales, which are easily some of my favorites in the Bay Area. The taproom itself has a relaxed, community vibe with comfy couches, fun pinball machines, and a huge selection of board games. They also serve food on-site (the pizza and empanadas are perfect for snacking), which makes it an easy choice for groups. Overall, Barebottle is one of those rare places that gets everything right: great beer, great people, and a great space. I always love coming here!!

They made our entire group feel genuinely special- thoughtful check-ins, warm hospitality, and effortless timing that kept everything moving without ever feeling rushed. Their service struck the perfect balance between personable and professional. They remembered preferences, offered smart recommendations, and proactively made sure every guest felt included. The atmosphere at Barebottle was already great, but Matty and Nettie elevated the experience, turning a simple gathering into something memorable. If you're planning a celebration or team outing, ask for Matty and Nettie- you'll be in excellent hands.
