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.

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.

This was my first time here, and as…read moresomeone from LA who has had my fair share of sandwiches, I don't say this lightly: this one is UP THERE. Hands down, one of the BEST sandwich spots I've tried in a long time. I got the Kali Mist, their spicy sub, and it did not disappoint. Great flavor, great sandwich, fresh ingredients and definitely something I'd order again. But honestly, the whole place is a vibe. The service was solid, the artwork is awesome, they have arcade games, and then I saw the Kool-Aid?! Are you kidding me?! For those of us who grew up in that era, it was pure nostalgia. I felt like my inner child had been handed a sandwich and told...Go have fun. And of course, they have their "special" snacks... and by special, I mean NOT special. If you know, you know. Good food, cool people, great atmosphere, and just the right amount of quirky. If you're in the area, definitely check this place out. Cheba Hut understood the assignment. P.S I would have taken a picture of the sandwich but I was too hungry

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

[Grilled chicken breast, sweet barbecue sauce, melted provolone cheese] I was expecting bold, smoky BBQ flavor, but it was surprisingly sugary sweet and didn't stand out from an average bbq chicken sandwich. It wasn't bad, just only memorable because it was southern sweet tea sweet and not as tasty as the other items.2/5 stars The Down side.. Ordering time and Price $$ & BBQ Chicken Sauce. Order-ahead ,way ahead because even though its a great sandwich ,we ordered 6 total and we wound up waiting up to 1 hr 10 minutes for my order quoted at 30 minutes for pickup we stood by the counter for 30 mins still waiting for the food to be done after giving the 43 minutes before we even arrived for the pickup. Gourmet prices for a 8 inch sub, and that BBQ chicken sandwich take away 2 stars for total experience. THE LIQUOR STORE The attached liquor store was an amazing addition with an impressive selection that honestly could make BevMo blush. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and eager to help. I met Chilean aka Chillin and he had many suggestions and nearly everything I was looking for--except my favorite Sandeman ,10-year 20-year or 40-Year Tawny Port or Sandeman White Port. No worries though, because the tequila, whiskey and Gin I wanted that evening were well stocked and easy to find, and well priced. 4/5 stars for no Sandeman Product in the entire store. IAfter reading about 30 5 star reviews of this place wanted to give this location 5 stars ...... so here's goes. Overall, Cheers Deli is well worth the visit for its incredible sandwich variety ,outstanding liquor selection and genuinely welcoming staff.

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!

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.

READ ENTIRE REVIEW... Service, amazing. You can tell these…read morepeople have worked there for YEARS and the customers are ones probably who've grown up going there. If you want quick, comfort food it seems the spot. I will say the potato salad has a liquid ish base to it and no other spices or veggies inside. The sandwiches lack a lot of flavor and excitement. I think this spot is perfect for a shopping center where you wanna carb up and just get with the family a quick meal. Everyone was so nice but if you're into food with flavors and spice and excitement I think it's a pass. I'd be back for some muffins at the register and a friendly waitress however.

They were running two back-to-school sandwich specials with one for $10.99 and another for $16.99. Personally, almost $17-$20 for a sandwich didn't really feel like much of a special. The service was definitely the highlight of my visit. The cashier was incredibly friendly, offered great recommendations, and the woman working behind the deli counter was just as welcoming. I ordered the: *Jerk Turkey Sandwich: you can choose from white, wheat, sourdough, a roll, or an onion roll for an additional $3. I went with white bread. I was expecting more of a deli-style hoagie or Subway-style sandwich, but it ended up being served on two slices of sandwich bread. It tasted good, but it honestly reminded me of something I could easily make at home. There just wasn't much of a wow factor. The sandwich came with pickle spears and your choice of macaroni salad, potato salad, or another deli side. The side portion was fairly small, a couple of bites worth, but the macaroni salad was great. My total came to nearly $15, which felt pretty expensive for a sandwich on sliced bread and a small side. While I really appreciated the friendly service and enjoyed the food, I didn't think it offered enough value for the price. Overall, it was a decent lunch, but not memorable enough to make me want to return.
