Sarah C.

Cute little deli with outdoor patio. The girl at the front who took my order was pleasant. Ordered the Surfin Bird regular which was plenty for 1 person. Although it was good, I'm not sure it's worth $15. My sandwich came out quick and I took it down to the beach to enjoy so there's not much else I can say!

Pete T.

After a beach walk there is nothing better than a sandwich from their special breakfast menu. We are partial toward the one made with garlic sourdough toast, fluffy scrambled eggs, bacon or sausage (or both!) avocado cheddar and cream cheese!

Nick G.

Stopped by The Beach Hut and I ordered the regular Surfin Bird sandwich. The sandwich was fresh and filling with a good balance of turkey, bacon, avocado, and all the toppings working together. The bread was soft but held everything together well, and each bite had a nice mix of flavors without anything overpowering the rest The vibe is laid back and very beachy, and the service was friendly and quick. Parking is in back. A great spot to grab a solid sandwich after being around the harbor or the beach area.

My rating is 3.5 stars! First time trying this location and it was good but left us wanting more. Got a Malibu pastrami sandwich without the Italian sauce (the Italian sauce is quite salty if you're sensitive to high sodium). The ingredients were fresh; however, the sandwich size was on the small side with not a lot of pastrami for the $16 price. We are used to LA Deli pastrami sandwiches, which are quite robust with their ingredients. It's perhaps enough for one person but if you're sharing like we did (usually deli sandwiches are large and filling so we buy one to share). Today we were both hungry after eating the halves. The staff behind the register were very nice and friendly.

Half of a regular turkey avocado (I added pepper and Italian herbs at home. Sad sandwich - think it was the turkado.

Marisa J.

Great customer service, the gentleman at the register was ever so friendly and helpful as I've never been in. Reminds me of Board and Brew though with the ambiance, menu options, and "vibe." I got a turkey avocado sandwich and it had no flavor - so underwhelming. I wasn't given an option for bread either. The tomato, pickle and onion were sliced as thin as possible which was disappointing for the price. I might come back to try another option in the future but as of now, I'm sadly unimpressed.

I had Skinny Dipper for lunch at Beach Hut Deli and it was amazing. The roast beef was juicy and tender while the dipping sauce was delish. Lots of outdoor space to enjoy the fall breeze too. Service was excellent. Will definitely come back for more delicious sandwiches

Olivia P.

No frills sandwich shop with decent tasting sandwiches. Highly recommend ordering ahead because it can take awhile during lunch. I got the Malibu and it was delicious. The bread did get soggy extremely quickly, which was a bit disappointing, but the amount of meat and avocado was great!

My wife and I stopped by here for a quick bite before walking home. We ordered the Skinny Dipper sandwich on a French roll --- roast beef, ground pepper, onions, cheddar and mayo with a side of au jus. It was a really good sandwich. The roast beef was tender and tasty; plenty of cheese; and the au jus, which we dipped the sandwich into was perfect (not too salty). The woman who took our order at the counter, the owner, was very pleasant as was the woman who served us our sandwich. The outdoor patio, where we ate, literally can't be beat on a great weather day. They have a wonderful looking happy hour with great specials on beer which I'll check out on another day.

I'm always walking by Evan's restaurant going somewhere else, but yesterday on Easter my son and I decided to give his Beach Hut Deli a try. It was amazing! And affordable. We ate here because it was a zoo trying to find parking at Salt Creek Beach on a weekend holiday, even though I have a pass. Beach Hut has free parking but only if you do not use it as a way to go to the beach, it's for customers only, and they have a guard watching the parking lot. Beach Hut also had patio tables available yesterday. The tables are shaped like surfboards and the food is served on parchment - on colorful plastic Frisbees - which is very cute! Hopefully they won't be taken home by customers. I asked my son to take a photo of me with Evan to show how handsome he is. He is a super nice guy as well which doesn't always happen if someone is super good looking like Evan. He is even more gorgeous in person than in this photo. But whoever is in the kitchen is doing a fine job! They remembered all our special requests. Ladies, by the way, Evan is MARRIED! Evan and I worked together at Trader Joe's for a short time. We went on to bigger and better things, such as Self Employment with our own businesses. Yelp could not load my photo even though I tried multiple ways and sizes. Many people are having this problem unfortunately.

Hobie. This pictures does not do the sandwich justice.

Alright, this sandwich spot makes one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I got the large Hobie and planned on having half now and half later in the day. Not possible, it was so good. I took a picture and almost like the screen of my phone the sandwich was so good.

I'm always down for a deli sandwich and today I couldn't have picked a place better than Beach Hut Deli! This was my first time trying this place out because usually my go to is Jersey Mike's. However, I think I just found a new favorite deli sandwich shop! I got a regular roast beef with pepper jack cheese, and the usual sandwich condiments, and although this is an ordinary roast beef sandwich, it's really not that ordinary because this sandwich is outstanding! I'm going to be honest, I was a bit hesitant, but the guy outdid himself with an ordinary sandwich! From the bread down to the mustard and mayo it was so freaking delicious! I highly recommend you try this place! I'm glad I left a tip because it was really well-deserved!! Thanks so much Beach Hut, Deli, I'll be back soon with a bigger tip! Ciao! Muah (chef's kiss)! ‍ read more

After many years of driving by this place my husband and I decided to give them a try considering they were under new ownership and we are so glad we did. We were greeted with delightful smiles from the new owners and immediately felt so welcomed. The menu has something for everyone!! The sandwiches were hearty and delicious and we can't wait to come back once they add some breakfast items to their menu. Perfect place to grab an evening bite to eat before heading to watch the sunset . I wish the owners tons of success and longevity so give them a try as you won't be disappointed. read more

My $10 sandwich was miserable. I am aware the small is just half a sandwich, but the half I got was barren, It might as well have just been 2 slices of bread. After asking the staff if I could exchange my sandwich they instead fought me and told me that "the size of the small is supposed to be 3 inches." Eventually one of the staff said they would add turkey and cheese to it. The picture is the $10 after I complained about it, so this is even more than they want to give you for $10. The place itself is sticky and nasty inside. Our laminated menus were covered in splotches and the whole experience felt miserable for how much they charge. read more

We stopped into the Beach Hut Deli after a short hike to Aliso Summit. It was almost 3pm when we got there, so plenty of parking and seating. I ordered a cheese and salami sandwich on the cheesy garlic bread. The lettuce was bitter and the bread was dry and falling apart. The whole thing was honestly not very tasty. My husband had the California (veggie sandwich). He seemed happy with the generous avocado serving. The food took a while to come out, which was a bit annoying as they only had a few customers at that point. Nearly all the tables were dirty outside too. I wonder if they are having staff shortages due to both these things? read more

Editing my review based on the owner saying that they made the guy leave. I hope that's true and…read morethat this kind of behavior is not tolerated in the future. I'll be back to Coffee Importers soon--it's a great place in DP for a morning coffee and pastry and hopefully the "regulars" don't ruin it for everyone else. Original review: I want to love this place and it bums me out to have to write this, but this is one of the least welcoming places in DP. Not because the staff is rude. But because they allow this clique of regulars to take over the outside patio and harass people who aren't in their group. I've watched it happen a few times now, but today was the worst. A woman with a little kid sat down at an unoccupied table and started having their food. A couple of minutes later an older gentleman walked up and began verbally accosting her, getting in her space and demanding that she leave because he's been coming here for 35 years and this is his table. He kept accosting her until she was crying and took her child and moved tables. A few people tried to comfort this poor woman and her little kid. This guy was 1000% in the wrong. But staff didn't do anything. Instead, they walked up to the guy, said hi to him (of course, in a first name basis) and were friendly as anything. But not a word to the woman crying and trying to distract her toddler. Gross. It's not just this one guy either. There are at least a dozen of these "regulars" and Coffee Importers doesn't appear to do anything to stop them from harassing people, and actually seems to be fostering this environment.

Not overly garlic on the taste - which makes it more enjoyable. I would go without the salami next time. Zucchini chips: unlike any preparation I have had. Very thinly sliced zucchini fried in canola and olive oil. It almost melts in your hands. This place is a well oiled machine. Plenty of TVs. Outdoor seating.

Today, on a Saturday at 12-ish, as a family of 4 we were able to get seated right away. Our server was attentive and offered/brought waters right away. We were seated inside which was open and spacious but loud enough to make it family friendly. The tables were far enough a part that you did not feel like you were on top of each other. Next time, we might ask to sit outside so our young boys can watch the cars drive by. We learned that the kitchen is nut free (always double check as this could change), which was amazing since our son has a severe nut allergy. He was so excited to learn this as he can be limited at other places due to cross contamination or the wrong oils. Then when the food came out and it was delicious - it sealed the deal. It is now in the top of our list of places to go. The kids cheeseburger is good size and not a smaller version as some places do. The chicken tenders were panko crusted which was so crunchy. My husband and I shared the smoked carrot and chicken tacos and we enjoyed them both. The beer was also very good with my husband and I each trying a different kind - an IPA and a Pale Ale. We are so glad we finally stopped in and so should you!

Beach Hut Deli - Great Sandwiches & Chill Vibes We recently stopped by Beach Hut Deli in San Clemente, and we had such a great experience! The atmosphere is relaxed and beachy--perfect for the area, especially in a surf town like San Clemente, known for its coastal lifestyle and laid-back vibe . We ordered a couple of sandwiches, and they were absolutely delicious--fresh ingredients, generous portions, and packed with flavor. You can really tell they take pride in what they serve. Every bite was satisfying, and it definitely hit the spot. The staff was friendly, the service was quick, and the overall experience felt easy and enjoyable--exactly what you want when grabbing a great sandwich. If you're in the area and craving a solid, flavorful sandwich, this is definitely a place to check out. We'll gladly come back next time! read more

I cannot say enough good things about the team at Beach Hut. I found myself in a total pinch and placed a last-minute catering order for 30 people at 9:45 PM, less than 14 hours before I needed it delivered. I called the next morning to confirm, and Riley was an absolute rockstar. She handled my frantic check-ins and a few last-minute tweaks with total grace. Her communication was top-notch; if she didn't have an answer immediately, she followed up with me right away. Despite the tight turnaround, the food arrived exactly at 11:00 AM, and the order was 100% accurate. If you need reliable catering and a team that actually cares, look no further. Huge thanks to Riley for making me look good! read more

The Beach Hut Deli has the best sandwiches around! I drive there from Laguna Beach when I want an awesome sandwich, chips and a Coke! They have a whole bunch of good food and they serve beer, wine and mixed drinks too! Located on PCH and Ritz Carlton Drive In Monarch Beach. They have a great patio with umbrellas, it's a perfect spot to grab a bite to eat after going to Salt Creek state beach. I like to order the Surfin bird sandwich which is a delicious turkey sandwich that I order with bacon, lettuce and cheese. It comes in a 6 inch 9 inch or 12 inch size. They're very yummy!! read more

There were only 5 people in front of us in line and it took 25 minutes to get to the front. They were out of turkey, which is about half their menu. Watched the girl at the front run her fingers through the water that was filling up the drinking water container. Sandwiches took another 20 minutes. I got the Beach BBQ. It was good. Nothing amazing. It's the only reason this place is getting any stars. read more

Unfortunately not a minus star option. Got 2 sandwiches free because of the screw up with the previous 3. Guess what? the messed it up again, first time not even toasted although I requested extra toasted. 2nd time, lightly toasted, lots of mustard although I asked for light and SALTY salami...obviously not fresh. Conclusion, it has happened now 5 times including 2 free sandwiches... WON'T TRY AGAIN. read more
