I also liked that they offered a variety of exotic chips as I'm always on the look out for something different. I did however, skip on the squid flavored chips and went with BBQ - don't judge me - I also liked the gelato dessert offerings. The parking was adequate and the eating area was large, well lit, and inviting. I also got to speak with the owner himself.

Food: ordered a Cobb salad. Just know that you don't actually get grilled chicken. My salad had…read morethat imitation chicken that is painted to look grilled, but tastes rubbery. 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.

I was shocked because I thought they were going to kick me out since most places don't have animals unless you have a rescue animal tag.They welcomed Me and Siti with love besides having awesome sandwiches and drinks with the 420 vibe! Raven brought my sandwich out real quick with great customer service. This place rocks and I'll definitely come back with my cat.

A large venue with full bar and garage door style walls that open for that indoor/outdoor concept. Indoor as well as patio dining is available. They offer a wide variety of specialty subs that are DELISH! I have only had the "5.0" (all meats of pork) with everything on it plus honey mustard and their jalapeño cilantro humus added...AMAZING! Customer service is AMAZING, vibe is AMAZING, and food is AMAZING! I've had their subs to go and not gotten around to eat it until about 1 1/2 hours later, and the bread still wasn't soggy! THAT SPEAKS VOLUME to the quality of bread they use for their sandwiches! I was NOT A FAN of their Kool-Aid it definitely lacked sweetness! DEFINITELY a spot to hit if you are in La Mesa!

No gimmicks, no shortcuts -- just good bread, quality ingredients, and generous portions. My go-to is the BLT, and it never disappoints. Crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, good tomato, and the right balance so every bite works. Simple sandwiches are the hardest to mess up, and this one proves they know exactly what they're doing. They also always show a little extra love by including a small side salad with every sandwich. Sometimes it's macaroni salad, sometimes potato salad, and today was a first for me with coleslaw. All of them have been a perfect accoutrement and a nice bonus you don't see everywhere. If you're anywhere near Cowles Mountain and want a dependable sandwich that actually earns the calories, this is the stop.

Everything is fresh, delicious, and a great value for the price. My favorite is the turkey on a roll. It's simple, but they do it perfectly every time. And the pickles are incredible. Id say some of the best I've had and the perfect addition to any sandwich. If you're looking for a great deli sandwich without spending a fortune, this hidden gem is definitely worth checking out. I'll keep coming back!

It was pretty bustling the day I went so you could hear active sizzling on the skillet and sandwiches being made. I got the french dip to go and a couple of pre-made desserts to go. I didn't eat the sandwich for about 45 minutes because I had some errands on the way home, and the french dip was surprisingly still warm. It was so good!!!! I'm sure it would have been even better if I had eaten it while it was fresh and hot. Service was friendly, and my order was prepared in about five minutes. There were a handful of spots to sit inside and some outside seating. Ambiance was super casual (order at the counter and wait for your name to be called type place). I will definitely return again!

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!

Holy Moly that place is BOMB! Soooo cute and quaint the people who work there are sweeties and seem…read morelike they genuinely love their job. I went for the first time two weeks ago, where I had a turkey bacon, avocado sub as well as the potato salad. Despite getting half a sandwich, it was huge! I was able to take home half a sandwich and most of the salad for later. The inside is very dated but in the best way possible it feels like you're coming into a family owned business that's been around longer than most of us have been alive. I love sitting on the right hand side of the building where they have a couple tables and seeing all the vintage items they have out. I can't believe I've lived in lemon Grove more than half my life and I've never been here. But I will certainly be frequenting more often. :)

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.

I don't know the girl's name because no one here wears name tags, but they wear short shorts like if we're a hooters . But this has been the second time I've had an issue where the next person That gets handed what the sandwich actually is, isn't listening! I had to tell the girl multiple times while she's busy cutting avocados instead of just taking a minute to say, can you give me a second and having me repeat myself! And then I told her after she asked, anything else, I said, can I just can I get pepper? She gives me salt and I look at her and I said I didn't want salt. She said, do you want me to take it off? How are you supposed to take salt off a sandwich when one you cannot see it? Instead of just listening like when I'm speaking to you your too busy doing other things because you wanna be quick. You put salt on the sandwich when I asked for pepper. Those are not the same things. Their employees need to do a better job at focusing on what the customer is saying, versus doing 20 other things. I don't care about you taking longer to make my sandwich.What I care about is me not having to repeat myself three times because you are not listening. She asked me multiple times too. If I wanted anything else needed anything else? Well, I can't even get you to put pepper on my sandwich. And you expect me to believe that you're going to make my order correctly. What if I was someone cant have added salt or high cholesterol. Now, food has been wasted and I'd have to wait longer all because staff can't just slow down and listen to the customer. They also make no eye contact.They don't speak.They just pass the sandwich from person to person.I just feels very impersonal, and like you're just trying to make me a sandwich and get me out of there, and then your the machine wants to ask me to tip. What am I tipping for when i'm not even getting good customer service.
