Black Cadillac
Pu B.

I Always go to the Home Depot this cafe is located in front of and wanted to try this spot. I finally did and they did not disappoint. I made my order, went inside Home depot to shop and my order was ready when i came out. The mac and cheese was really rich and flavorful. The tri tip sandwhiches had a vietnamese "banh mi" vibe with the baguette and the meat was very tender. Will come back to try their chili

Weird location. Small kiosk in front of Home Depot. It's easily missed when you look at the front of Home Depot. Had a few meals here and all were good. Chili and cornbread today. Noticed an actual BBQ next to the kiosk. Stop by and support the local guy.

I came here for lunch as I'm a big sandwich fan and read the many positive reviews. The place is a hole in the wall type of place in that the restaurant is attached to the front facade of the Home Depot. There are many choices and I went with the recommended Cadillac Sandwich which is made with tri-tip, garlic butter, parm-cheese blend, lettuce and tomato on warm toasted white bread. The flavors were on spot and complimented well with the recommended Japanese lemonade soda. Definitely add this to your list of great Sacramento sandwich spots. I look forward to coming back soon.

Big Boss Cafe is a little known hidden sandwich shop that is located just outside of home Depot! If you haven't been to Big Boss Cafe yet, let this be your sign to go immediately. Big Boss Cafe specialty is the Tri Tip sandwich. I ordered the Smokey Sauce BBQ Tri Tip sandwich and it was delicious! The sandwich delivers big flavors with caramelized onions that just brings the sandwich up to another level of flavors! The bread roll is soft on the inside with just the right amount of chew and a golden, slightly crisp exterior, it's the ideal vessel for the Tri Tip meat. It holds everything together without getting soggy, and its warm, toasty flavor complements the savory meat. This place knows how to make a delicious sandwich! Will definitely be coming back!

Black Cadillac
Kahn H.

Black Cadillac was really good. True bbq sandwich. Parmesan cheese was a good touch. Super friendly and accommodating Hidden gem! Going back tomorrow

Stumbled on this spot during a home depot errand, and DANG!! IT WAS GOOOOOD!!!! I told myself id take the couple minutes to holler and share so others can enjoy it like I did. I had the "Fire Breather" sandwich! PERFECT balance of sweet, spicy, tender, crispy bun, melt in your mouth perfection... This is the kinda hole in the wall i'd bring out-of-town friends to. Hoping they make a full sized restaurant with this menu!!!! And maybe some fries and beers in the future :D

Wow, what a hidden gem, at Home Depot of all places! Must be the cheap rent that allows them to use the best ingredients. Was stuck at Les Schwab and needed to find a walkable lunch place. If you've ever been disappointed by a restaurant, come here and restore your faith in humanity. We had the tri-tip dip and chili dog- totally elevated experience! The guy at the counter was also friendly and clearly cared about his work!

The Black Cadillac. Lots of garlic!

If you haven't been to Big Boss Cafe in front of Home Depot, it's probably because it blends in perfectly with all the tough sheds outside. But let me tell you--this place is a total hidden gem! So, my fiancé sent me on a Home Depot run (classic), and I knew he'd be hungry. Enter: the Black Cadillac combo. You guys... this sandwich is life-changing. Tri-tip, garlic, Parmesan cheese, lettuce, tomato--all piled onto a toasted garlic roll that dreams are made of. I grabbed chips and a lemonade too. They let you fancy up your lemonade with flavors, but honestly, the regular lemonade was so good I didn't even bother. The guy working there was awesome--super friendly and even gave me a military/healthcare discount (I didn't even ask!). Everything was packaged perfectly while I ran inside to do my shopping. When I got home, my fiancé was so impressed with his sandwich that I'm pretty sure I earned myself a free pass on chores for the rest of the week. He couldn't stop raving about it! Moral of the story: next time you're at Home Depot, skip the sheds and hit up Big Boss Cafe. Your taste buds--and maybe your significant other--will thank you too (wink, wink)!

Blackberry mango!!
Cyn D.

I've passed up this quaint little pop up once too many times, but today was the day to try, and I'm so glad I did. The owner is extremely warm and welcoming and told me that they stay open until people stop showing! Who does that, unless they love what they do. I love the setup, super rustic and cute. The names of items on menu are also super unique. I ordered the power plant---- I couldn't believe I ate the entire thing, that good! Good flavor, the sweetness of the grilled onions, complimented with the light heat from the peppers, and sour from the pickles with the zest and cream of the pesto.. let's not forget the baked bread used- all a wonderful combo, and my palette thanks you both for that! I was told that the Turkey BLT and the black Cadillac were on point as well. The blackberry mango was so refreshing and delightful. It really felt like Summer while the tea! I also heard from the fellas that the banana pudding was super delicious- it's a shame I'm allergic to chocolate!! 5 stars--- come and order! You will NOT be disappointed- trust me! There are also two cute little wooden tables, if you wanted to just chill and eat there. I love that they cater to the men and women who work hard there at Home Depot or construction workers coming in and going back out to work. Very cool stuff!

Tri-Tip Dip
Cameron C.

For a shack in front of a Home Depot, they know how to whip up a delicious f****** sandwich. I got the tri tip dip. I wish they gave me more au jus sauce however the sandwich was fantastic! The bread was soft, the tri tip was a little fatty, but good, the pesto was amazing, the onions were bussin, and the cheese was alright. Highly recommend for a quick grab (if there's no line). Not to mention they even have VEGGIE options.

They offer a variety of sandwiches with ingredient combinations that will please any sandwich lover. I love their Italian and especially that you can add roasted red peppers, olives, and pepperoncini to them. My husband typically gets the Italian or their Buffalo Chicken sandwich. The large may seem expensive, but it's huge and definitely enough for two meals. They also offer salad options and soups, along with cookies and a great tasting pasta salad. There's plenty of tables to eat inside, but we typically take ours to-go. We always stop at the convenience store that's attached for more drinks and snacks.

I'm here to tell you the reviews are absolutely deserved because this is now our go-to sandwich shop! The bread is always fresh, they don't skimp on the meat or toppings, and they can melt the sandwiches, which takes them to another level. My wife loved the avocado on her sandwich, and I personally can't get enough of the Chicken Bacon Ranch and Chicken Pesto. I'll admit, it's in a location I probably would have overlooked since it's connected to a gas station. Never thought I'd be raving about food from a place attached to a gas station, but don't knock it until you try it! We've been back multiple times already and are officially hooked. Highly recommend!

This specific Sandwich Spot location was one of my original favorite sandwich shops of all time…read more My friend Ashley and I used to always come here and split a Cougar on Dutch Crunch, sub pastrami for turkey. Feeling nostalgic, I recently decided to have lunch here. I asked for a Cougar with pastrami instead of turkey. "You want a number 26?" (Looks at menu) "Yes, with pastrami instead of turkey." "Number 26, right?" When I had walked in, I saw two girls cleaning. One of them had stopped to take my order. After taking my order, she continued to clean for exactly ten minutes before stopping, washing her hands, and beginning to prepare my sandwich. (I'm positive that it was exactly ten minutes before she even *started* to make my sandwich, because I get a text message the minute my card is charged, so it's easy to just look at the text, and see how much time has elapsed.) As she finished making my sandwich, another guest came in. After she placed her order, the second girl washed her hands, and both girls made her sandwich together. While I had waited nearly fifteen minutes for my sandwich, this girl waited for less than two. It was so odd. As I ate my sandwich, both girls behind the counter stared at me so hard that I seriously wondered if they had done something funky to my sandwich. So, all of that was very strange. But the sandwich was good. None of the ingredients were missing. The veggies were all in ridiculously tiny quantities in comparison to the super smearing of sauce, but, it was all there, and it tasted good. When it comes to sandwiches, in terms of the meat, you get what you pay for. Sandwich Spot uses cheaper meat than some fancier delis do, but they also use a larger quantity of it. So, if you would rather have a large amount of okay pastrami versus a medium amount of great pastrami, then, Sandwich Spot is the spot for you. If you're really into premium lunch meat, though, this isn't it. The pastrami tasted like it could have come from the fridge section at Winco or Walmart. Overall, for a cheaper/lower-end sandwich place, Sandwich Spot is still one of my favorites. I love their menu, and haven't found a sandwich quite like the Cougar anywhere else.

I hadn't been here in nearly 10 years and was looking forward to a nostalgic lunch, but…read moreunfortunately, this visit was a major letdown. I ordered the Barracuda, and my wife got the General Lee. Both sandwiches were served on Dutch crunch rolls that were so hard, they were nearly inedible -- my wife couldn't even finish hers because the bread hurt her mouth. Mine left the roof of my mouth sore, but I pushed through since it wasn't exactly a cheap meal. The fillings didn't help either -- the meat tasted like it had been sitting for a while especially the roast beef, and the vegetables were wilted and lifeless. The macaroni salad tasted identical to the store-bought Reser's brand, with that unmistakable aftertaste, which was disappointing. Overall, nothing felt fresh. Everything had the vibe of being prepped a day or two ago and just left to sit. I truly wish we had just gone to the grocery store instead. Sadly, this place didn't live up to the memories, and I won't be returning. Lesson learned.

Mouth-watering, beefy perfection! My second time here I had the same sandwich plus a bite of my hubby's Classic Italian and immediately fell in love with that too. The vinegar, oil, and oregano added to the salami, capicola, and proscuittini (firmer and juicier than prosciutto) made it beat other Italians. Their sandwiches are incredibly savory and filling. A medium can feed two. A large 18 inch can feed 3-4. I downloaded their app for deals and feels like Christmas when I see what's available. So far I earned a free small sub for signing up for texts. Their outdoor patio is nice and the manager/ owner is great. Feels welcoming and bright inside. My husband returned an extra twenty dollar bill that was stuck to his change.
