I was really looking forward to returning because my previous experiences here were excellent, especially the tri-tip and ribs. This time, I ordered a half pound of sliced tri-tip and requested it rare, along with a half rack of baby back ribs. Unfortunately, the tri-tip was not rare when I got it, and it was sliced thinner than I expected. The flavor also wasn't nearly as good as I remembered from previous visits. At about $12 for half a pound, I was disappointed by the quality. I also ordered a half rack of baby back ribs for around $16. While they were okay initially, they didn't seem as flavorful or tender as the ribs I had enjoyed here before. The leftovers I reheated the next day were particularly disappointing and not very enjoyable. In the past the ribs were great reheated. I may have caught them on an off day, but this visit was a noticeable step down from my previous experiences. Given the prices and the excellent food I've had here in the past, I left feeling disappointed and hoping this was just an isolated experience. read more

Cayucos Sausage - Specialty Food Near Me - Cayucos, California

Nothing like a lunch on the beach especially when it's a good one like a sandwich from the cayucos sausage company! We always get the tri tip and the pork roast. The lady at the register who I think might be the owner advised me once on what to put on the pork roast and it tasted amazing. It absolutely melts in the mouth! We are always greeted with a smile. The food is consistently delicious. A must try if you're in town read more

The food is exceptional both the sausages, all the meats, sandwiches, and salads. Owners Don & June'e are friendly and very focused their customer and exceeding their customers needs. A true 5 star experience! Highly recommend you give them a try next time you're in Cayucos. read more

came in for chicken sausage and the owner said he'd be making them the next day. came in the next day and sure enough they were done. grabbed a bunch of sausages for dinner and dinner party the next day and am very satisfied with the communication and the sausages are absolutely delicious. read more

We went in yesterday and bought a variety of their sausages to try for the first time. The owners are super kind people so right off the bat we were excited. But today we tried the sausages and they are so amazing!! We tried the Apple, the Baja, and the Chipotle Jalapeño and we are excited to try the pumpkin and the coastal Italian. Truly a great place to visit! read more

Stayed above this restaurant during an antique fair and it was buzzing with activity. Everyone was so nice and helped answer questions. We ordered some homemade sandwiches which were not only delicious with fresh bread, but also extremely generous on meat and toppings. Love the system where you get a sheet of paper and make your selections. Didn't try the sausage because not a fan but seemed to be a popular choice however there are plenty of choices for those who are not a fan of sausage. read more

Delicious, great deli to stop for a sandwhich or some baby back ribs. Sausages take a little longer so we didn't get to try them.

Sandwiches are ok, and the French bread is very thick. I don't get the hype. Friendly service.

Local Take: This Cayucos Deli, Butcher, & Sausage store is peerless when it comes to fine homemade Sandwiches, handcrafted sausages, & more. Even though I live within walking distance of a fine Italian Deli in Shell Beach, I will find almost any excuse to go 45 minutes out of my way to chat with Don [the master sausage crafter] and Junee [who runs the show], and of course eat a wonderful sandwich & grab some freshly crafted gourmet lean savory sausages to take home. Despite the Sausage name, they are so much more than sausages. This cute clean little store is packed with all kinds of goodness, which even includes some Deli items like Pickled Mushroom salad & local Negranti Sheepsmilk Ice-cream. They arguablable make some of the very best sandwiches in the entire SLO County. Forget boring factory made Deli mystery meats when you can have a sandwich filled with their delicious Roast Pork, with a side of a rack of ribs, plus a salad. I typically go for the local Rye Bread, Chipotle Mayo, Smoked Cheddar, & the other typical fixings of a superior sandwich. Not only is the made in house pork excellent, but their Ribs & Mary's Roast Chicken are amazing as well. Don has told me that he has been crafting and making sausages since he was about 12 years old and it really shows in his creations. Pretty much whatever sausage I can pick, I do like or love. He makes a wide variety, and spices & seasons them in a unique way...so you may find that more pedestrian varieties have a special savory twist here. He also makes some creations that are totally unique & cannot be found anywhere else. If you think Alle-pia, Cal-Poly, & some other SLOcal sausages are good [they are], Don goes a step further, & has exceeded almost any expectations. I do have an issue with many other sausages having too much fat, spices, or additives, but here I have not only can digest them fine, but love the texture, flavor, and bite. In addition to the Deli, Sausages, Sheepsmilk Ice-cream, Don also curates a really nice selection of fine meats & steaks...so it is also a fine little neighborhood butcher shop. Apparently Cayucos locals know about this place, but I have found that most locals, that are not Cayucos natives, generally do not have a clue about this amazing place. While many may feel it is a long trip to come here, it is not if you also combine this with a visit to any of the local Farmers Markets in the area, or are in the Morro Bay/Baywood area anyway. This is likely one of the few superior Deli's on the drive north. There are excellent Farmers Markets every Thursday [outside of Spencer's Morro Bay Market 2PM] or Mondays in quiet little Baywood....but a meal may not be complete without some great sausages or meat. While Morro Bay's Saturday Farmers Market has mainly crafts & little food, it can again be a good excuse to take a side trip up north a bit. In addition, Cambria also has a fine Friday 2PM Farmers Market & again, you can stop here in Cayucos, on the way there or back. If you happen to come to Cayucos, or are even driving by on Route 1, this is a total no-brainer....especially for locals. This place is one of our local small business treasures filled with fine eats and lovely friendly people. It definitely wins my coveted $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ LOCAL TAKE - GOLD SEAL OF APPROVAL $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ If you are visiting our wonderful area, please be mindful that this is not only our home, but that of all the natural wonders. Also be please be mindful that COVID is almost always a concern & please respect others wishes. Thank you! read more

I've been coming in here since the day they opened, this place is always consistent on service and definitely their food. Always fresh, everything is so tasty. I'm in love with tri-tip, never dry and always full of flavor and never too salty like some places. All their sandwiches are good portions. Some people might even say it's good to share their sandwiches. Don is always in the back prepping that meat, and his wife is always greeting people with a smile. This is probably one of the best mom and pop shops in Cayucos next to Sea Shanty, lol. read more

On our way to an event in Cambria stopped in to pick up a sandwich. So glad we did!!! Excellent! Wonderful! Delicious! Friendly, attentive servers/staff. Bright smiles, clean, tidy atmosphere. Roast beef, made-to-order sandwich with fresh ingredients was wonderful and for us, a serving big enough for two. Cole slaw, my personal weakness, was not too slushy or sweet - pretty perfect! And had cranberries, Bonus! They also do sausage, made there in the shop and it looked fantastic. Reasonable prices. Check out this cute shop! Sandwiches are a must & we heard Tri Tip is the best. We'll go back for that! read more

Best tri tip i've had, walked in great service the boys loved every bit. Had long weekend just made it even better. Hucked mad wrist but had us right back to full power read more

Super friendly owners and they have high quality products! Great spot near the beach to grab a sandwich, or if you live here grab some quality sausages. I'm not usually a fan of sliced bread sandwiches unless they're made at home, but damn. They slow roast chicken, pork and tritip for their sandwiches. I originally ordered a regular sandwich but was talked into getting the fresh roasted pork on my sandwich. Wow. I am glad I went with the fresh cooked meat. They load up the sandwich with a pretty hearty helping of the meat, but certainly don't skimp on the veggies. I ended up getting their roasted pork with smoked cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion, and some Chipotle mayo. Damn that was good. As much as I don't enjoy a sliced loaf bread for a sandwich they compensated by such a great blend of meat, bread, veggies and seasoning. I can't wait to go back. They are great people with a quality product in a beautiful location. read more

Cayucos Sausage - Pork roast, smoked cheddar and Chipotle mayo sandwich - Specialty Food Near Me - Cayucos, California

Ok so I made it here finally after several days living ON the beach at 1736 pacific. What a Fantastic find! This place is absolutely awesome. So for starters, I got there right when they opened. That is imperative. There was no line and I got my hot pastrami on rye in a reasonable amount of time. I sat outside and enjoyed it In The 70* weather at my own table. watching all the "shoobies" from the valley walk on the beach with hiking shoes on. What a treat. A really really good sandwich. Not giant, but quality ingredients. Possibly even rc provisions pastrami, but I didn't ask. Pastrami lovers know what I'm talking about. Anyways, the SAUSAGE! oh my god! So I got a couple links to cook up later and then grill. SO AMAZING! You have to try this sausage. I don't even really like sausage and this was out of this world good. Even my dad ate 2, and the kids destroyed it and they can be picky. I got the bratwurst and the Irish sausage and made some peppers and onions with a soft roll. You have no idea. You have to try it. So if you are in Cayucos and you want the best sausage you've probably ever had you need to try out this place. BLOWN AWAY. Set an alarm, get up and go there you will not be disappointed! read more

WOW!! Best tri tip sandwich EVER!!! Yesterday I had the best pastrami sandwich EVER!!! I keep coming back because their sandwiches, service and shop are the BEST I've had! Super flavorful. The staff is super friendly, sweet and treat you like family. You can customize your sandwich however you'd like, literally however you'd like..... I like my French rolls hollowed out and some places won't do it. I asked and she said, yes of course. Do your tastebuds and belly a favor, eat here! read more

What a hidden gem! If you're in the area, stop by and get a delicious made-to-order sandwich.

I also picked up some ground beef to cook for my pups and they licked the bowl. Plan to return to get some handmade pork/cranberry dog treats tomorrow!! read more

This is the best deli. My family got there 10 minutes before they closed and they still accepted people after us. The Cashier Junee was so sweet. She mentioned a patio out back that my family could sit in. Ben and Carly were very easy to speak with and they made my sandwich the best. I wish I took pictures but the pastrami sandwich was so good that I forgot to take a picture. read more

Wow, stop here for a beautiful lunch or grab some great butcher shop cuts for home. Great customer service and dog friendly.

Ordered the tri tip sandwich. The meat was well cooked and very tender. They had ribs, chicken and lots of other options. If they are as good as the tri-tip, this place is a winner! read more

The sandwiches are easily the best I've had out here. Potato salad was solid too. My entire family agrees.

I just finished my fresh turkey, roast beef and cheese sandwich from CSCo. I wish there was a sandwich shop this good in Fresno. We have two or three good spots but I must say that Cayucos Sausage Co could be top two or three places I've had ever. And I'm an admitted and proud sandwich snob. This place is definitely worth stopping at if you like really fresh really tasty subs. The service was in in line with the food, top notch. Never leaving Cayucos without stopping here ever again. read more
