The godfather was a lovely balance of sweet, savory, and a lil health from the arugula, zucchini, and tomatoes on soft bread. The torpedo sub was hefty but also refreshing with the vinegar/onions/lettuce. Theres also a bunch of goodies displayed around the store and a pizza spot next door so it was fun to browse while waiting for our sandwiches. You order, pay, and then bring your receipt to grab your sandwich.

Bland, not much flavor. Lots of meat.... However, they did not drain the meat after cooking it. So basically you're eating an awful lot of grease. Made me sick.. as I said I am Sicilian and have been making pizza for over 65 years. Pizza was Meh.... I would never eat there again. Food inside the deli was fine and they were friendly and helpful. Food in the pizzeria was terrible and they weren't terribly helpful. I had also taken to Arancini. Also pretty bland. Not all food needs to be interesting but when you're paying good money in a lousy economy, it should be better.

A stoners Munchie place if you will. Well that only flies so far in the corporate world, but Chēba Hut delivers the tasty goods and it's a fun place, with lots of Cheech & Chong like references on the walls. Total Cool. We tried the Roast Beef, Meatball and Spicy Italian-like Sub Sandwiches and came away impressed. There is also a bar, with lots of local beers. Our three Subs and two drinks ran us around fifty. Five Stars and we'll be back for more.

I would recommend getting the medium size sandwich since the small one was too tiny for me.

I ordered the Al Capone on a torta, and my boyfriend got the chicken club on wheat. Both sandwiches were pretty good, the torta was very soft and fluffy, maybe a little too much bread for me, but still very good. The chicken on the club was flavorful. Both the Mac salad and potato salad are basic, but solid, you get a little 2 oz container with your sandwich. I'll definitely be back to try something else on the menu in the future. My only gripe is that the parking is very limited, likely since it's located within the local apartment complex. We had to park down the road and walk over to get to the shop.

There was 2 people behind the counter and one other customer, one cleaning up and one asked if I was ready.

I didn't catch his name but the receipt said: server:Carlos. He is definitely an asset to this Company! Keep up the good work here and I'll definitely be back!

I hear the sandwiches were good, so maybe just stick to that. It is a deli after all. Service: normal, fine, no complaints. Ambiance: you can hear the kitchen fan, and then you also have music. The place was perfectly clean. Menu: there's a lot going on there. If you tend to get visually overwhelmed, maybe look up the menu before coming in. This is why I got a salad to begin with. Two stars because I didn't really get what I paid for, the chicken.

Don't expect it to be fast if you see a line I think they only have a couple workers, but I say good food takes time. Also, this is a takeout spot there really is nowhere to sit besides a couple chairs so don't expect ambiance. It's more of a grab-and-go spot.

When you see the entire store front packed with City Workers enjoying their meals...IT'S A MUST TO STOP AND TRY THEIR FOOD! That speaks volume in itself! I just love "MOM AND POP" locations! I believe this shop is a mother and son ran operation and they are an amazing duo dishing out amazing subs for reasonable prices! Watch out other sandwich chains out there cause Grove Grinder IS WHERE IT'S AT!!!! They have been in business since 1972...NUFF SAID! I ordered the Ann Special with everything on it. They do not skimp on meat and the proportion of bread to meat to veggie ratio is spot on! A full size sandwich is enough to feed two people easily or one very hungry person. I did not try any of their side items or large selection of root beer drink options to choose from but, I will be back many more times to try all they offer! Thank you Grove Grinder for amazing eats and allowing me to snap all my photos of your small shop for my review! If in Lemon Grove, show some love to Grove Grinder and grab you one of their amazing affordable, delicious subs...YOUR WELCOME IN ADVANCE!

I'm a little heartbroken about this because I had a 5-star review drafted up for this place that…read moreread: "Grove Grinder is the GOAT of neighborhood sandwich shops. Over the years that I've been coming here, I've been pleasantly surprised to find that the quality, portion size, and price point has kept pace with inflation and remains the best sandwich option in East County." I'm certainly not the longest-running customer of this spot, but I have been coming to Grove Grinder ever since I moved to the area four years ago. I kept coming back, wrote rave reviews in San Diego food-related social media groups and threads, bugged food influencers about them, and sent many of my friends and family their direction because I was that big of a fan. My husband and I have taken these sandwiches on roadtrips and plane rides, grabbed them in the middle of household chores, and picked them up for each other when the other is too tired or sick to cook. The reason why I'm ultimately knocking this review back and heavily questioning whether I should return has to do with a disappointing experience from my last visit with my husband that we now think was part of a larger pattern. The past couple of times we saw this person at the register, we used my name for the order. This time, though, my husband gave his name instead and the person at the register gave him some attitude about it and asked "You're *really* going with that?" I don't understand what their problem was with his name, but both the person in the front and the staff in the back refused to use it. They called out everyone else's names (and they usually call out mine when I order) and we noticed that our sandwiches were looking skimpy compared to how stacked we know they can come. My husband uses a nickname that might not be the name he was given at birth, but is a name he has used for over 20 years and might as well be his "real," name. We don't want to make assumptions, but most of the staff has always been at least a little cold towards us at best, slightly rude at worst, and even though this experience might seem relatively small to some, it's ultimately the straw that broke the camel's back. We suspect that their distaste for us might be politically motivated. We know it can't be personal because we've been nothing but polite. It sucks, but it seems to be that if they perceive you to not be "their people," your money isn't as green at their establishment, even if it spends all the same. I loved this place and felt lucky that they're close to my house, but feeling disrespected and like the staff are trying to fire us as customers is enough motivation to take our business elsewhere.
