The highlight was definitely the West Coast Reuben sandwich--absolutely amazing! It was packed with flavor, perfectly put together, and made with really fresh ingredients. One of the best sandwiches I've had in a while. Overall, a great spot for a quick, delicious sandwich. I'll definitely be coming back!

The sandwiches here are honestly some of the best I've had, and that's exactly why I keep coming…read moreback. The food itself is excellent and deserves the praise. My biggest issue is the wait time and the overall organization of getting orders out. Even when it doesn't seem very busy, it can still take a long time. I've even called ahead before and still ended up waiting after arriving. I completely understand that a popular sandwich shop gets busy, but I do think the ordering and pickup system could be improved. Today was especially frustrating. I waited about 45-50 minutes for my order, only to find out my sandwiches had accidentally been given to an older gentleman who had only ordered pickles. He apparently heard me say my name and ended up taking my sandwiches. Mistakes happen, and I'm not mad at anyone personally, but after waiting that long, it was definitely disappointing. My main issue isn't even the mistake itself. It's the amount of time lost. Time is money, but more importantly, time is a resource we can never get back. I basically lost close to an hour because the pickup process wasn't organized enough to make sure the right order went to the right person. I'll absolutely be back because the food is that good. I just hope they can tighten up the system for taking orders and handing them out. Amazing sandwiches, but the delivery and pickup process definitely needs some work.

Enticingly wonderful burgers can be found here at Harbor Mart in Ventura Harbor. This little deli…read morewhips up incredible burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, gyros, and rice bowls with either gyro meat or chicken. Sides, drinks and other food items are available in the mart as well. My fresh juicy burger was made to order with my specifications; cheese, lettuce, and sauce on a pita instead of a bun. Yep, so good!!! Don't sleep on the incredible international variety of snacks and sweets such as chocolates from England and chips from Japan. A plentiful variety of soda, water, beer, wine and liquor round out this food Mecca. Sorry folks, while the Harbor Mart shop is open Sunday-Saturday 8am-9pm, the deli hours are 10:00-6:30 Monday-Saturday. Although the deli is closed Sundays, there are still plenty of tasty foods and treats to meet your hunger. There's even an automated coffee machine if you're looking for a latte of a hot chocolate for the kids. Don't sleep on buying the hot dogs here, they are filling and OUTTA THIS WORLD!!!

SERVICE: I appreciated the cheese samples once seated…read more There's a deli in the back to buy blocks of cheese or spreads. Nextdoor also carries a lovely room of some great wines. The employees were kind, place was clean, there's in and outdoor seating, and parking is what you make of it as PP is located on a blocked off street where cars are not permitted. All to say, research where you wish to walk about, find a meter or free parking lot - enough around, and put on your good yet cute walking shoes because you'll enjoy strolling about after your meal here - or drink. FOOD: I sooo loved my grill cheese. Instead of mushrooms I swapped for spinach - you're welcome. AND THE PICKLE ON THE SIDE - delish! So why 4 and not 5? Because of my limited lifestyle I found the menu a bit limiting. However, I am not a HUGE cheese person and I don't drink. With that said, I feel anyone else who loves to indulge in that world should have a super great experience. Mine was still great. WELL: I actually enjoyed my time and shall return. My mother loves a good red wine so I'll bring her too.

First of all- Ambiance- this Toppers/Transmission location combines architectural excellence and Industrial Design with great Beer and Pizza offerings. We go for the food and enjoy the Rooftop deck and Ocean views. The servers are friendly and efficient.

I personally love the Transmission frozen Hard seltzers with a few slices of Toppers pizza on a beautiful Ventura afternoon.

First off, they have an old school salad. It's sadly not unlimited, but for $8.20, you can get a regular salad bar bowl (1 bowl, 1 trip). The salad bar was slaying - it was well maintained and offered every imaginable topping. Perfect salad bar if I've ever seen one. We also started with the chips and onion dip ($6.15). They use freshly made potato chips and serve it with a house-made caramelized onion dip. The dip is so light in texture and pairs perfectly with the crispy potato chips. It's the type of dip you'd like to meet during football season. For pizza, we ordered a Hawaiian Heat ($25.55 for a medium). Unlike other Hawaiian renditions we've eaten before, the base of this pizza is a creamy garlic sauce. It's then topped with Canadian style bacon, chicken in bbq sauce, bacon pieces, red onions, pineapples & jalapeños. This pizza is topping heavy and I am absolutely here for it. The crust has a nice chew which I really enjoyed. The Toppers Hawaiian Heat is very much a Hawaiian pizza on steroids. I can see why people love Toppers. I had an incredibly fun dinner for my last night in Ventura's. Highly recommend checking Toppers out if you happen to be in the area.

I've even gotten to the point of creating my own little custom breakfast by combining different side dishes! All the fruit is fresh, the salads and sandwiches are big enough to share, and the coffee is good enough to get one to go for an afternoon pick me up (they close at 2pm). I love the high quality ingredients they use, from the eggs to the produce, nothing is industriel or pre-made. There is a parking lot in back, but during the weekday it's easy to park on the street.
