    Pastrami sandwich
    Kim I.

    Beach hut is such a chill spot, parking can be tricky as it's in a tight corner with other restaurants. Either way it's so worth it and my go to is the pastrami sandwich, I order it hot so I feel like the pastrami is cooked well enough that the edges have a bit of a crunch yet still very chewy. The workers are usually pretty nice, when it gets busy you can see how hard everyone is working to get those orders in. You have plenty of seats inside and each booth has a tv. Sometimes you do have to wait for your order but it's never to the point that when you get your sandwich you feel like it's been sitting out too long.

    The employees were super nice and the service was great. This place reminds us of a deli version of the restaurant, Islands which is awesome. Our sandwiches were amazing!!! Definitely going to come back

    I usually love beach hut deli at the Costa Mesa and Dana point location. We were craving it when going about our errands and decided to place an order here. We placed the order online and got an email saying we should call to check on our order since it's been 5 minutes and they haven't accepted our order. We decided to go in and sit down. There were TV's on every table which was unique. The tables themselves were dirty with crumbs leftover from previous customers. The menu screen was not turned on- only the draft list which was interesting. They had tangible menus though. The staff were all making sandwiches and no one was able to man the register, take orders or answer phone calls. A long line started to form and I saw people get upset waiting for so long to be helped. The reggae music in the dining area was nice but it was overshadowed by the staff blasting other annoying and loud music like "starship". This resulted in a chaotic ambience. We waited for our 2 sandwiches for half an hour- they might as well just have given us the ingredients because I was having to put the sandwich together. It was falling apart. All hope was lost when I went to the bathroom. Their toilet bowl looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a year. There was trash on the ground, no toilet seat covers and soap residue on the wall. There was gunk on the sink... I couldn't believe the conditions. It was absolutely disgusting. You can tell a lot about restaurant hygiene by the conditions of the bathroom... it was not good. I won't be back to this location.

    Unfortunately very disappointed from my most recent experience at beach hut deli. I ordered two cali caprese sandwiches and a grilled cheese... the entire order came out 10 minutes late which I am typically fine with, but when I got home I noticed both sandwiches were room temp even though a hot grilled cheese was on top of it and one sandwich lacked cheese, while both sandwiches appeared to be served on just plain bread instead of the toasted garlic bread. Extremely disappointed and am currently trying to get a refund but have called the number 5 times with no pickup. I don't know if they have fallen far or this is just a blip. On the positives - the staff was friendly and the ambiance was nice and they refunded the two caprese sandwiches which I appreciated.

    Had to wait for our order to be ready even though it was an online pick up order. I have eaten at the Beach Hut in Dana Point as well as the one in Costa Mesa/Newport. This location's sandwich quality was worse in comparison to the other 2 I've visited. Our sandwiches were flimsy and could barely hold any of the little toppings that were inside. The sandwiches at this location were not as stuffed as the ones we normally get at the other 2 locations, including not as much avocado. I even ordered extra veggies inside but there wasn't any extra. To make matters worse, the employees were playing their own music (party music from early 2000's) while the restaurant's reggae music was playing. You could clearly hear 2 different songs constantly playing over each other. The music the guys were playing as they were making mediocre sandwiches was awful and was the cherry on top of a poor experience. I noticed other customers looking over at the employees while 2 different songs were loudly being played over each other. The young guys didn't care and were giggling like the high school students they probably were. If the employees weren't playing their own crappy music right by all the customers, I probably would've given this place 3 stars instead of 2.

    Friendly service. Cool little deli/cafe with TV's to watch at each booth. Sandwiches are good, I loved the Vegetarian sandwich and my husband enjoyed his Santa Cruz sandwich. Lack of the perfect rating was for the 25 minute wait for 2 small sandwiches and a cup of soup. We would come back if in the area though.

    Ordered 4 sandwiches, 2 of them were messed up. We asked for lettuce on the cheesesteak and no mustard on the turkey. Clearly the person making the sandwiches aren't following the instructions. I tired to call several times to get the order fixed but no one answers. Great service

    Best sandwiches around! IYKYK Nor Cal favorite in south Orange County that will have you coming back again and again. Cool atmosphere, service is great, solid beer selection and they even have vegetarian options.

    Food and service was good. My first visit and I ordered a large sandwich and boy was it filling. The portions are great! I got a sandwich, chips and drink for about $20. A little more than I would normally spend so I won't rush back but I wasn't disappointed about my meal.

    Sandwiches are incredibly mid and amazingly overpriced. They have no sense of urgency so good luck getting your order correct or on time

    Reuben Sandwich. The pastrami isn't too layered where you can't bite into the sandwich. I like the tangy sauerkraut & thousand island.

Their refrigerated section had a beautiful selection, and I grabbed the potato gnocchi and fettuccine right away. As I explored the store, I kept finding more things I wanted to buy.

There's also a deli that makes sandwiches, and the staff member helping me was so friendly and patient. I didn't know what to choose, so they recommended their most popular item: the Great Grandpa Joe sandwich. I ordered the large to share, and let me tell you... it was the best sandwich I've ever had. Delicious, generous, and absolutely worth recommending. One thing to note: there's plenty of parking, but my phone directions took me to the back of the store instead of the front -- a little odd, but easy to fix once you know.

The bread was my only complaint. I was told they've changed it over the last couple of months, and I think the sandwich would be even better with the old bread. One tip: if you're coming on a Sunday, get there before the church crowd. We ended up waiting about an hour before being served. The wait was made a little better because the staff came around with free deli meat samples for everyone waiting in line, which was a nice touch. Overall, a very good sandwich, and I'd definitely come back--just a little earlier next time!
