    Well I lived most of my life on sandwiches of all sorts, from east cost to west cost, and I cant never resist a good sandwich it's my happy place, and let me say this is my second visit to beach hut deli, and blown away both times and hoping to continue to do so, this sandwich hits all the right buttons and will put a smile on your face that'll be very hard to wipe off, so congratulations to beach hut deli to one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in California, and sorry I forgot to take a before picture because I was excited

    4 out of 5 's. When they get a dark beer there, I'll give a 5 Otherwise it's a five star local neighborhood hangout. Good sandwiches, good service, fun, relaxing environment (indoors or outdoors), this is the spot. PLENTY of places to park if you're a BIkE If you're driving it's MORE CHALLENGING. Enjoy! This weekend I had the classic BLT with avocado. Yummy before biking & body surfing.

    My husband and I were really disappointed with our Cali Cheesesteak sandwiches. We were in the area, so we had to stop by and pick up two Cali Cheesesteaks. I was so excited to eat my sandwich. I was starving and had been craving it all day. Unfortunately, something was off. It didn't taste like how we remembered it. It was lacking flavor and cream cheese. I frequented this place because they were so generous with their cream cheese and their Cali Cheesesteaks were meaty.

    My Company recently ordered Lunch for about 100+ people from Beach Hut Deli, and the Sandwiches and Salads were amazing, everyone couldn't get enough.... so the next day, I had to find them & have lunch there again. I had never had Cream Cheese in a sandwich before, but it was delicious. Where have you been my whole life? The staff was super friendly, gave recommendations, and when I ordered the Santa Cruz Pastrami Sandwich, they recommended me getting it hot, which adds melted Provolone cheese. Amazing. This is a great spot to visit, and they also have Beer on tap. There is lots of parking, as it is in a Plaza, and it's on the North East corner of 17th St & Irvine Ave. Go check them out!

    This sandwich spot has been all over my Tik Tok and it was exciting getting to try it out. They have indoor and outdoor seating, we decided to sit outside since it was such a nice day out. The sandwiches are made fresh to order and they don't play about loading up your sandwiches. Definitely the best bang for your buck. Like do you see the amount of avocado on the sandwiches??! We loved both of our sandwiches and it was a great lunch, the XL is definitely for bigger appetites or to be shared. It was busy on a Saturday afternoon with in-person and takeout orders, we only had to wait a few minutes for our food to be ready. ig: @cravingswithcat

    Surf Bird sandwich (XL size) and Malibu pastrami sandwich

    This was my first time visiting and the sandwiches here exceeded my expectations! Kurt and his team took good care of us and gave their recommendations, which were the Surf Bird with turkey, avocado, bacon, and cream cheese and the Malibu which is their pastrami sandwich. You can tell they use the freshest ingredients and quality meat. Probably one of the best pastrami sandwiches I ever had, and they use the same pastrami as the iconic Langer's Deli in LA, which makes sense! Every bite was just so good, I can't recommend this place enough. Bonus points for the cool patio they have with a pool table + $2 draft beers EVERY FRIDAY! I will definitely make the drive again to come back.

    WOW their sandwiches are great!! Have been looking for a great sandwich shop in Costa Mesa/newport and I think I've finally found it. They cover two of my most important conditions for a good sandwich: flavor and size. The Surfin Bird was not only super fresh and delicious, but GIANT! Definitely worth the money especially with what places like Jersey Mike's/Mendocino Farms are charging nowadays! I think our favorite was the Malibu which was a super simply pastrami sandwich with avocado, but they have to put something in there that just takes the flavor to the next level. Aside from the food, the employees and owner are incredibly kind and the entire atmosphere is so lovely. It truly feels like you've stepped off of the beach at San Onofre into a little hut for some good. Best part, they have wine & beer options too!! Definitely want to try their $2 Beer Fridays and their new trivia night on Tuesdays! I think they have a deal for thursday beers as well but will have to see. HIGHLY recommend to anyone passing through or local to the area!

    Oh my goodness that was delicious. Lets start with Elana and the Service. 10-10 ,she was very helpful and knew the Menu so well I took her suggestion and it was instant appreciation. I had the Malibu Sandwich and when I tell you it was a hit, it is as instant. The Garlic Bread was a perfect choice to hold everything together. The Pastrami was tender and flavorful. The Avocado gave it a different but delicious texture that has to be experienced for yourself. This might have been my first time here but certainly not my last. I will probably dedicate the next couple of days getting through the complete Menu. Maybe February, because I'll most like get the Malibu the next couple of times. This was a hit.

    Great tasting sandwiches. I ordered the Skinny Dipper and Malibu and they both hit the spot. Kind of on the pricier side with smaller portions when compared to Board n Brew who I think is its main competitor, but it still doesn't take away from how good it is. Great beach vibes with reggae playing in the background, a bar where you can order beer, and plenty of TVs with sports on.

    We love grabbing sandwiches from Beach Hut Deli in the Newport Beach! The Surfin' Bird is always our go-to and the beach bites are sooo good!! Everything is super fresh, portions are huge, and the staff is honestly so sweet and amazing every time we come in. Such a fun, easy spot to keep coming back to! We also love their Aloha Fridays with $2 beer ALL DAY LONG! Such a steal! Love this spot!

    Truly one of the best Reuben sandwiches I've ever had. The quality is top notch. Awesome atmosphere with lots of TVs and a really spacious outdoor area with a pool table. They're also dog friendly! I wish I lived closer.

    I'm a beach hut fan, specifically this location. I always get the California sandwich and am always satisfied. My only complaint is I ordered sprouts in my sandwich but didn't receive any at all which was a bummer. But I love how much avocado they put in this sandwich. The peperoncinis are delicious too along with the spicy ranch.

    The place is super cute! Beach vibes! Soooooo good! Loved everything that we tried! The Sunburn was my favorite! Try the Cider it was yummy too! The staff were sooo nice!

They came undressed, basically just plain ingredients wrapped in a cold tortilla and the portion was much smaller than expected. I mean, you'll feel healthy and light after eating these but don't think it's worth going out of your way to get. Came in with low expectations bc we knew Gwyneth likes her stuff HEALTHY so we kinda knew they would skimpy with seasoning or flavor, wanted to keep an open mind, but it was disappointing after seeing all the positive reviews on social media.

Even though this place is pricey I happily supported it because it stood for something. Now that it's no longer vegan, it feels like a completely different place. Seeing venison, eggs, and raw dairy on the menu was honestly jarring. That shift isn't small, it changes the entire atmosphere and comfort level for me. Cross-contact becomes a concern, and I no longer feel at ease dining here. The branding around these new additions being described as "ethical" is the most frustrating part. They try to explain how their meet and eggs can be "ethical" but they don't even bother to try to explain how their raw dairy is "ethical." Probably because is no logical argument. Their pride and excitement about these "ethical" addictions feels entirely disconnected from the community that originally supported this space. I'm genuinely disappointed.

It took a minute to locate the restaurant and figure out parking, but once we arrived at the door, the experience was first-class from beginning to end. The hostess was charming and welcoming, the staff kept our waters filled and the table spotless, and our server, Juan, was outstanding. His knowledge of the menu, detailed descriptions, and personal recommendations made ordering easy and built our anticipation for every dish. We started by sharing the beet salad and Chicken Tinga Empanadas with the Gringo Killer Sauce. The beet salad was fresh and beautifully balanced, while the empanadas were packed with rich, savory flavor. The Gringo Killer Sauce added a bold kick that made them especially memorable. My wife ordered the wedge salad, my daughter chose the Grilled Octopus Al Pastor, and I had the 8 oz Picanha special. Every dish was exceptional. The octopus was a creative and flavorful take on al pastor, and the Picanha special was perfectly cooked, tender and was an absolute standout. Everything was so impressive that I sent my compliments to the chef and was fortunate enough to meet Chef Jackie personally. Then came dessert. Juan described a peach cobbler special that immediately had my mouth watering, while my daughter ordered the Espresso Crème Brûlée. Juan returned to our table with three plates and spoons and informed me that Chef Jackie has recommended her specialty. I did not argue, Chef knows best. She surprised me by sending out something different: a slice of Baklava Cheesecake accompanied by a scoop of house-made peach cobbler ice cream. Now, I have eaten some outstanding cheesecakes all around the world, but this Baklava Cheesecake was on an entirely different level. It was rich, layered, perfectly textured and flaky, and so unbelievably delicious that I nearly licked the plate clean. The house-made peach cobbler ice cream was equally impressive--light and creamy, yet captured the full peach cobbler flavor. The Espresso Crème Brûlée was also beautifully executed, with a crisp caramelized sugar shell and a deep, smooth coffee-flavored custard. My daughter ate half of hers before turning her attention to the cheesecake, and she does not even like cheesecake. That alone should tell you how special it was. I live three hours away, but I will absolutely be making the drive back. Lemon & Thyme delivers exceptional food, thoughtful hospitality, creative dishes, and the kind of personal service that turns a meal into a lasting memory. This is my new favorite restaurant!!! Do yourself a favor and make the trip to Lemon & Thyme. Ask for Juan, trust Chef Jackie, and do not leave without desert.
