I came here in a weekend morning to their location at the farmers market…read more They had a lot of people at their stall, but the line moved pretty quickly, about a 5-minute wait for my bagel and schmear. But it was about a 10-minute wait for a bagel with lox. The bagel is a little on the tougher side and it's not my favorite given that the everything bagel has some pumpernickel spice. The chives in the chives schmear also didn't have a ton of flavor. But overall it was a solid bagel.

I've tried to give this place a chance, (many chances in fact), but the service, attitude, and food…read moreis just horrendous. First the food, not sure if the eggs come out of a bottle or freshly cracked eggs, the food, slobbered with butter, dripping in fact, oortion sizes, well it does say "NY subs", size of buses. How the hell are you supposed to eat all that food? I go in, ask for a roll, with eggs, no cheese, no butter, just eggs and bacon. What do I get, attitude of rolling eyes, and a roll the size of a bus, still soaking in butter, I felt like I had had a heart attack afterwards. Honestly, I used to live on the east coast, and this place reminded me of the obese muppets that worked in NYC, no wonder when they serve food like this... . The message this place sends is that its not cool to eat healthily, its convenient for me, given I sometimes work from a location not far from here. I cannot understand why this such a "NY institution"? Here's an idea, get some new staff in - and be open to customising your food (to a certain extent, as I know it is not always possible). what a hell hole. Instead, go to Il Canto Cafe on Sacramento and Battery. Service and hospitality at this place is spot on, food made to order, and customised to YOUR liking, and came out FRESH and not slobbered with BUTTER. Prices were also surprisingly very good.

The shop is small but clean with wine and cheese selection. The menu is handwritten and pretty fun. The staff seem to be from France and are quite friendly. I LOVE the mancha salad with duck breast and kale. The portion is massive and the kale is well massaged and the dressing is so flavorful. My teammate raves about the sandwiches and grilled cheese so I finally got their daily rotation for Thursday which was a Swiss cheese heavy with pesto one. The cooking time was a bit long but when I took my first bite I'd say it's worth the long wait. This was the first ever grilled cheese I had and its mind blowingly good. The bread is so crispy and the cheese is gooey but not heavy. It also came with a side salad and chips only for $10. I'd love to come back and try their other grilled cheese sandwiches and the duck breast sandwich.

The signs are bright, the ambiance is energetic and had a little buzz to it 5/5. The lady at the counter was friendly, bubbly, and welcoming. She was patient and answered my questions without making me feel I was holding up their fast pace. The owner came out and checked on those of us patron sitting outside and was very pleasant and informative, and since it was our first time we sent us on our way with pastries as a parting gift, service is a hard 5/5. Now let's get into the food!! I ordered the motherclucker and and partner the cheesestsake. The food was served within 15mins of ordering, and the smells coming from the boxes was enough to intoxicate your olfactory with the scent of grilled peppers and fried chicken. The motherclucker is served with its the crispiest fries, they tasted fresh and made in house, 5/5, the sandwich had two chicken cutlets on it that were well seasoned, crispy, and paired great with the chipotle and pickled veg, with the seasame seed bun putting it over the edge in flavor 5/5! The cheesesteak was also cooked to perfection, the cheese pulls coming off of it was enough to make me want to kick my no-beef diet (I didn't but was tempted)! The meat was well seasoned and cooked, the veggies fresh, and the bun chewy 5/5. This is by far one of the best places I've eaten at in SF! Check them out if you haven't. Overall, I rate this establishment at HARD 5/5!

It's a small establishment- definitely some wall tables to sit at-bar height- but just a few and they fill up fast. Cashier was incredibly sweet and fun to talk to while I waited. 2 outside tables were also full. Now the star- a delightful and fresh sandwich with all flavors you want from a chicken cutlet sandwich. Bread was crusty, delicious and satisfying. I was staring at the collie place across the street the whole time I ate my sandwich- definitely too fall after finishing to get a cookie....would recommend!

Extremely friendly service and incredibly tasty food. I had a roast pork salad and a roast pork…read moresandwich on different days and both were absolutely excellent. The salad was a good mix of different textures with a balanced dressing, and very fresh veggies. The sandwich was on fresh bread, was packed full of meat and was very hard to stop eating - I had intended not to eat the whole thing and found myself plowing all the way through it. The broccoli rabe was slightly overpowering and I took a little bit of it off but ended up eating it anyway. Definitely recommended - I was to try their focaccia pizza (Oh and they know their tender sliced roast pork is likely to get stuck in your teeth and provide a floss picks on the counter!)

Our local newspaper wrote about this sandwich place making a name for himself in making a popular…read moreEast coast favorite (evidently Philly). The description was something that I'd never tried even during my work travels to Philadelphia. Hoagies are a staple there and, of course, who hasn't heard of Philly cheesesteak sandwiches. It's been over 30 years since my last visit to Philadelphia so pardon my memory lapse on the experience. I actually tried the cheesesteak sandwich at a fast-food pizza place next to our downtown hotel but I really enjoyed it. My only memory is that it was about the bread. Fast forward to now and there has been buzz about this sandwich spot in Embarcadero 2, an unlikely spot, known for their roast pork sandwiches. I made my way here on a Wednesday afternoon. It is just past the elevators from the Clay St. side on the left. As usual, I wanted to try a few things to get a better idea of what they make. Not knowing the setup, I intended to get everything to go, but noticed there was counter seating inside and several tables and benches outside, so I decided to dine in. I ordered their signature garlic roast pork (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=flkH6irxcDZRUJT7RMRAMQ), a sandwich comprised of Rosalind Bakery Hoagie roll, aged provolone cheese, three-day pork, braised brocc. rabe, freshly shaved pecorino Toscano cheese; in addition there is confit garlic, HMB wasabi, and red chile flake. The pork is moist and tender and the bread is very nice and chewy with a seeded top that makes this interesting. The sandwich is large so I was only able to eat half of it for lunch. For me, the brocc. rabe overwhelmed the other elements of the sandwich and the bread was on the moist side, something that won't travel well. I was glad that I ate it fresh instead of bringing it back. I ate the other half a few days later. I algo grabbed a can of carbonated agua fresca, mango flavored (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=dgeQkGWDfiffLbE1gsGaAw) from their refrigerator; I liked that the calorie count wasn't too high and that the mango flavor is there without being too sweet. I also brought home a slice of their pepperoni and hot honey pizza (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=j3VPelAHJ1SEPQDakyUReg), described as the hot honey being made in house. I reheated my slice (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=TLReNN0Y3HvXp4qtFFvUNw) the next morning and it was a hearty breakfast; again the bread was the star for me. As I peered at the back counter, I notice that they sold Zapp's potato chips (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=TGmbC_GvgYqz5jXyOBwL4w), my favorite non-local brand that I usually get at another sandwich shop in SSF. I was amazed that they had three flavors that I'd never seen besides their popular Voodoo one. Needless to say, I bought a bag of each for munching at home. I appreciate the patience and helpfulness of the cashier who initially helped me. There were a couple customers waiting for their orders as I placed mine and a steady flow of people came and left as I waited for my sandwich. After finishing my meal, I met Matthew, the friendly and welcoming owner who clarified that the business is named after his grandfather. If you like a rustic sandwich or originally from the East coast, you will likely enjoy this. I will likely try the regular hoagies on my next visit.

This is my go-to spot any time I find myself in SF. The times we've grabbed a sandwich (along with other snacks & Italian/Sicilian goodies) the owner is the one who has helped us. He was even there on Memorial Day (talk about dedication to the craft). I ordered The Witch Hunt: fried eggplant, pepperoncini, sun-dried tomatoes, and sweet peppers. It was absolutely delicious. I ate half while sitting outside in their cute outdoor seating area (red & yellow colored, DUH!) and saved the rest for dinner (which didn't last long). I'd definitely order it again in a heartbeat. The sandwiches didn't take long to make and they make it right in front of you so you know it's fresh. While we waited we browsed the little shop and grabbed some Sicilian (my husband is Sicilian) specific snacks and goodies which they had a ton of, we even scored a Palermo II tote bag (yes, I will use this more than you would think). All in all, if you find me in SF - you will definitely find me stopping here for my sandwich fix. 100/100, would recommend!

I'll definitely be back.
