The crew at Dana always takes care of me and from what I see always takes care of the guests visiting from out of town too. Top notch operation! Their sister stores in east county and Lemon Grove are just as stellar. read more

A fantastic spot! I visited with my friends for a boat fishing trip. The area gets quite busy, even early in the morning. While the restrooms could use better maintenance, it is an awesome place overall. read more

The deli staff makes me feel like I'm inconveniencing them by ordering a sandwich. I dread ordering one from them. I thought it was a fluke the first time. (Two years ago), but it's pretty much the same every time. Yes, I keep buying sammiches from them, but only because I like the sammiches and I have learned to just tune them out. But this last time, I couldn't tune them out. I swear both of the women working were FEEDING off of each other's negative energy. Today was the last day I ever buy a sammich from them. I'll just go hungry if need be. read more

Great place to go , busy some days , not So busy other days . Beautiful view of downtown San Diego . Decent bathrooms , boat launch area and play area for kids . Highly recommend this area ! read more

What a neat lil treat to enjoy gorgeous views and quick bites! We walked our dog from the front part of The Dana and around the hotel- never knew Dana Landing was just around the bend! Our visit here, came a few days later! Dana Landing is such a popular spot for many recreational users and folks just passing by (like us!). Great selection of sandwiches (breakfast style available too). Pre made sammies are available for those in a rush! Just check the refrigerator. We walked up to the deli counter to place our order. I asked staff if they could sell sliced turkey by the pound bc we have our dog with us. One of the gals said, sure. But, one of the fellas just wrapped up a huge chunk of it in plastic wrap and said, no worries. I was surprised by the kind gesture and had to pay it back. I placed a $5 bill in the tip jar that sits on the counter. I ordered the: #4 The Skipper Italiano. $13 Italian Roll, salami, mortadella, capicolla, provolone cheese, pepperonis, Italian dressing, w/ the works (lettuce/ tomatoes/ onions). I opted for sourdough bread instead. Totally forgot to have it toasted. But, every bite- the sourdough was soft. I love mortadella so much and there's no skimping on deli meats and cheeses. I figured Kettle's Honey Dijon chips are best paired with my sandwich. Pay for your order at the cashier counter. Many tables facing the marina. We didn't wanna over stuff our doggie with all the deli meats- so we gifted another person walking by with his rucksack and beautiful dog the rest of the meat. No shortage of parking and bathrooms are across the launch ramp. read more

My friends and I religiously visit the Dana Landing Market anytime we're on the bay to get their sandwiches. We've been coming since we were kids and have the best memories of visiting the pugs that used to roam the store and watch us while we ate. I love the #1 sandwich on rye bread and it's consistently good. They also have a great selection of chips and drinks. The staff is always super friendly and helpful too. A bonus is getting to see the nearby sea-lions! read more

This place used to be really good. The last several times I've been here, to purchase salted anchovies, it's just been crap. This last time basically I got to my fishing spot open the bag, basically just a freaking ball of mush. What a waste of money. So much for fishing today. Also their tackle weights and hooks. They never seem to have a full supply of stuff,. Disappointing used to be a great spot to grab bait and tackle, but I'm sorry places gone to the dumps. read more

Super rude employee... I said please and thank you and she did not acknowledge me. This is the second time I've had this interaction with this one cashier. I don't know her name, but she has black hair bangs, and always wears a braid with tattoos. She is so completely rude. I was shocked. I don't recommend coming here because of her. The deli counter was absolutely so sweet and helpful! read more

Great area to fish no issues and great company definitely recommend also hit up the bait barge

This review is for the market and deli at Dana Landing. Heading to Paradise Point on our friends' boat, they suggested getting sandos from the Deli at Dana Landing. They are frequent fliers at the deli. We arrived at the dock and the guy working was super friendly and helpful. He guided us into a spot and grabbed a rope to help dock the boat. The market had everything, including a full service deli. Beach stuff, fishing gear, boating gear, food, beer, drinks. Basically an AM/PM for boaters, but better! Way better! Becky ordered the Blackjack $11.99: Chicken breast, pepper jack cheese, chipotle aioli with everything: mayo, mustard, LTO. Italian roll subbed for toasted sourdough. She loved it. The ingredients were fresh and tasty. The sandwich withstood the 45 minutes or sl prior to her eating it. It did not become stale or soggy. I did a Build Your Own $9.99: I chose Ham, double Swiss, mayo and mustard only. On an Italian roll. I like a simple, sturdy sandwich that will travel well and hold up. It was very well constructed and exactly as I asked. The ham was piled high and the Swiss was most definitely doubled. Perfect amounts of mayo and mustard. It, as Becky's did, held up great. Our friends ordered a sandwich to split. I do not remember which one, but thoroughly enjoyed theirs too. read more

Great late night spot for some last minute pick ups like bait which I went in for the other day.. According to my receipt though, I was charged for something I didn't bring to the register or asked about to be charged.. could've been a price check before I got there but they should've paid a little more attention and myself as well.. although I did catch it later on and called but whoever picked up next morning seemed rude about it and said they couldn't do anything about it.. I was at least hoping that I could come in and get store credit or a refund if I asked them to double check their cameras or scan time stamp... but oh well. They didn't seem interested in wanting to help. So all in all, good prices for things needed, but not all employees seem welcoming. read more

Their store hours are not accurate. They close the store early during the week at around 9pm, which is an inconvenience if you need to get a quick snack to boost your blood sugar. The people, particularly the men who work there, are exceptionally rude and not friendly to customers of color. Do not go here with expectations of customer service. This is a mom & pop shop that does as they please and they pick and choose who to be friendly with. The sandwiches from the deli are good but they always run out of avocado by lunch time, so I don't recommend ordering sandwiches that have avocado as an ingredient. read more

My husband and I had gone for a long walk around the inside of Mission Bay and we were really hungry so we stopped by the fisherman's deli at the boat ramp and we had their number one special sandwich. The squab bread was thick and delicious and fresh And the sandwich was full of turkey and bacon and avocado and cheese and all the Fixin's. There's plenty of picnic seating outside and you get to look at the arena and see the fisherman going in and out at the boat ramp and see all the pelicans waiting for fish. It's a delightful place for picnic. read more

Went out to the mission bay location to rent a boat for the day . Got on one of the pontoons . Everything was good until the bait pump started going out . By this time about half the bait we had just bought started to die as we made our way back to the dock to see if they can fix it . We had to be putting buckets of water in the bait tank so the little we had left wouldn't die as the guy tried to figure out what was going on . Ended up being a bad pump he had to get a new pump and wire it all up . Finally back on our way out . We were out for about another 30min before we noticed the pump went out again . At this point we decided to cut our trip short. Went back to the dock to turn in the boat. Talked to the crew member to see if there was anything he can do to help us out or accommodate us for the inconvenience. Pretty much said no. Still charged us for the gas which was mainly used having to go back in to get there problems fixed . Bad experience forsure. Unfortunately probably won't be going back there . Such a busy place of business you would think all there fleet of boats are well maintained and ready to go . Could use some work . read more

This review is for Captain Matt and Limitless Fishing. From the reservation to him dropping us off at the end of day dock, Captain Matt was super attentive and easy to deal with. He returned calls, texted and emailed with me when I had questions and was super easy and friendly to deal with. Payton, his hand, worded his tail off the entire day for us. Payton was patient with one of our elderly guests and also paid super close attention to one of our teenage guests also making sure that both were happy and fishing. The boat was clean and organized and we had a great lunch. Lastly, we caught fish!!!!!!!!!!! The guys would land us right on top of them, tell us the depth they were at, and we would fish away. I can't say enough about them, great experience, we'll be back. read more

This is a very nice landing on Mission Bay with public access and private docks. We met friends at the fuel dock for a Sunday afternoon on Mission Bay. There was plenty of free parking. The docks and surrounds are well maintained. The "Deli" is a convenience store for boaters, fishermen, and water enthusiasts with outdoor tables. One negative was the hunt for public restrooms. read more

My girlfriend and I went to rent a fishing boat at the mission bay location on 4/12/24, and we both believe we were being scammed/discriminated against. When we first got in, we got some bait and a little bit of tackle for our lines. The girl at the front desk was literally staring my girlfriend and I down the whole time. It's like she's never seen a gay couple in her life. At the time, I let it slip down my back because people can be judgemental and not everyone's gonna be nice. About the boat part it was fun and everything was fine until the end of the day when we had to return the boat. Earlier in the day, we ended up getting stuck in some sand and we couldn't get out. So somebody helped get us out of the sand and everything was fine. Boat was running fine, visibly no damage anywhere on the boat. When we returned the boat (mind you, we drove all the way back for at least a mile from where we last stopped. Running perfectly fine) the guy said he needed to make sure everything was fine on the boat. Fair enough and makes sense, so while we waited this kid says it would be 200 dollars. I told him that was absolutely ridiculous and if I can speak to someone else cause something was not adding up. This is when the amazing Nick comes into play who's going to be enjoying his lovely lawsuit in the months to come. Nick was practically demanding this money. He was very cocky, judgemental, and a straight up donkey. I told him my phone was dead and I had no way to pay for these "damages" they were claiming and 200 was way too high to begin with for "scratches on the propeller". He tells me he's gonna speak to the owner about it. So while he's on the phone we go back up the the shop to speak to nick again. He tells me it's gonna be 60. Confused I ask him why this number drastically changed and why I was about to pay 200 when I didn't need to? This is when the personal attacks come into play. He demands to see my personal bank account (yes, you heard that right.) that I need to charge my phone (I only use Apple Pay, so I was in a tough situation) He said MANY comments on how "there's no way two ladies can rent a boat and not have 60 laying around" "leave the fishing poles in the boat for collateral" claiming I was lying about my funds? It didn't stop there, he even asked my girlfriend to show him HER account. Are you kidding me?? Absolutely ridiculous and actually illegal since my mom works for the law. He kept pestering me and basically cornering me to "show him all my transactions" WHAT???I had no problem paying 60 and asked if they can bill me. For some reason they couldn't even do that. Something was super sketchy and off. I almost had to call the police cause I was left with nothing and there was literally nothing I could do. After I wanted to call the police, Nick calls us "f**** losers." I left feeling super discriminated against and will not be returning. I don't recommend anybody giving your money to these homophobic/ rude/ sexist people. The only good thing about this whole experience was a nice gentleman named Kane who helped my girlfriend and I rig our fishing rods. We're still super new to fishing and this guy was the only helpful/nice dude in the whole establishment. Props to you Kane. Thanks for making our day at the very least you deserve better. read more

Arrived from out of town the night before our fishing trip at 9pm thinking that we'd be good to get some stuff for the next day but they were already closed even though it says 10pm online and at the shop. Not only that, but the following morning they didn't open up at 6 either like it says. Don't waste your time read more

Huge thanks to Captain Matt Barlow and mates Matt and Fitz on the LIMITLESS for the best fishing trip ever. We went on a 2.5 day charter for tuna. These guys are dedicated fisherman. With their help, we LOADED the boat with tuna and had a great time. The food was excellent and they go out of their way to make sure everybody catches fish and has fun. When they yell "fresh one!" you know another monster tuna is on the line and you are in for another arm-burning battle. I definitely recommend this boat. read more

I recently bought tackle from Dana Landing for a fishing trip but didn't end up using it. Four days later, I called to ask about their return policy and was assured that unused items could be returned. However, when I went to return the items, one of the managers was extremely aggressive and threatening, claiming they wouldn't accept fishing line returns despite no such policy being listed in-store or on the receipt. Although a couple of items were eventually accepted, the manager's behavior left me shaken. I hope they improve their customer service and clarity on return policies. read more

My friend took me here for sandwiches after we went sailing. He works around here so he knew the place. There's a lot of sandwiches you can pick from or you can build your own. I got the Alexis - squaw bread, turkey, bacon, avocado, Swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo, but no onion or mustard. The sandwich was fresh, huge, and had a lot of meat. You also get a nice view of the water while you're eating. read more

Sandwich was good no one working was wearing gloves making my Sandwich or anyone was in compliance with the state mask mandate

Worst service ever. Called the location before I went in and nothing but rude employees answered my call acting like they don't want to work. Poor establishment. read more

Very helpful staff. Even though they stay busy there staff finds ways to help and answer any questions.

Mediocre sandwiches but if you want a mediocre sandwich and bitch boy attitude from staff maybe just go to your local subway. Felt like I need to apologize to their staff for entering the establishment and ordering a sandwich as I clearly offended their family and ancestors. Sorry for the inconvenience by coming in to an order and pay for my meal. Please go back to your internal conversations amongst each other. read more

The best fishing tackle stores in San Diego! They have literally everything you would ever need from freshwater to a long offshore trip. The store is packed wall to wall with goodies. Besides the great selection the one thing that really sets this place apart is the staff. I've been coming here for a couple of years and Nick is the absolute man. He always takes care of me when I come in for line and tackle and I've never had a bad spool or had any of his knots break on me. He's always friendly and more than willing to offer advice and tips, truly one of the most knowledgeable guys around the SD fishing scene. Nick will get you setup for whatever you are looking to catch whether you are a rookie or a salty pro. I've had multiple reels serviced and repaired by Dougie and everything always comes back working like new. From 30 year old big internationals to brand new baitcasters he can fix anything. I've also had rod repair done here and whoever does that does a great job as well. Finally the deli is bomb! Great sandwiches that are always fresh and tasty with a great selection of drinks and snacks. read more

I am giving this deli a 2 because of the foul-tasting onions. I got some turkey sandwiches, some sodas and chips. After 2 bites on the sandwich I said "I have to get rid of these onions". But I searched the sandwiches and found the onions were laid out in thin shreds and I could not find all the pieces. So I suffered for the next few hours burping this terrible onion taste. Not a good lasting impression to leave with a deli customer. Otherwise, it was pricey - as you would expect of a marina deli. There was nothing special to recommend this place. read more

The sandwiches here are so good and the staff are super friendly. We ate outside on the patio and looked out over the water and it was so gorgeous!! read more

They have lots of quality gear, the people who work there are knowledgable and friendly in general. I go in there a lot as my boats right next to it. Never had a sandwich but they look decent but remember its really a tackle shop that sells sandwiches for fisherman, so its not a full on deli. read more

The place is great for buying fishing gear but the teenage girl that attended me during check out kind of had an attitude with me and my friends. kind of annoying. read more

This great location is perfect. A friendly staff is waiting to help you with anything from a breakfast to go, the freshest bait, (newest lures if you're into that) supplies and anything else you'll need for a day on the water. The prices' aren't over the top so it wasn't an issue. Fish on !!! read more

My husband and I were staying at the Dana hotel and walked over for a few sandwiches. We took them back to the hotel to eat them and when we opened them they were completely wrong. They literally were on the wrong bread- one was not supposed to have tomatoes and did - the next morning I came back to tell them and they basically stared at me - not offering to replace them or refund the $20 plus dollars it cost for 2 sandwiches. This deli is terrible read more

I'm spending the weekend down at the Dana since we're throwing a party for my mom this weekend. I heard that the Market has some pretty great sandwiches, so of course I wanted to give them a shot. The Market sells everything from fishing supplies, to ice cold drinks, to a wide assortment of snacks. They also boast a nice little deli counter with a healthy menu of specialty sandwiches as well as a build your own option. I decided to opt for one of the specialty options, and it did not disappoint. Here's the rundown: The Crown Point- Chicken breast, cucumbers, tomatoes, romaine lettuce, and caesar dressing all on a toasted Parmesan roll. I'd highly recommend considering this option if you want to grab a quick lunch by the bay. They even have a few tables outside so you can relax and enjoy the view. read more

Called this business 3x on Saturday to try to reserve a boat for the next day. They were fully booked, fine. On all 3 calls i was told "we ALWAYS have 2-3 boats set aside for walk ons" I woke up early to make sure I was the first person there at 4:45am (they don't open until 6) At 6am they open up and tell me they are not doing walk ins this day. Would not recommend this business unless their communication with staff/clients gets better. read more

Stopped by this place for the first (and last) time while on a bike ride around Mission Bay with two friends. Headed to the deli and figured it would be a great spot for a lunch break. The staff was cold and not friendly but thought nothing of it. My order was 2 sandwishes, mine came out quicky. With plenty of tomato despite "no tomato" but that's no big deal. It happens and I can just yank them out. The second sandwish however took a ridiculous amount of time. I didn't want to bother the staff wish asking too soon so I waited a bit before first inquiring. Staff coldly said it's coming without even turning around to look at me. We waited some more. I followed up two more times before the sandwish was eventually ready. I had finished mine by quite some time at this point. To give you an idea we watched several people who arrived after us, ordered, sit, eat, finish and leave before our second sandwish came out. But "it's coming" they say. No explication given. I don't know what warranted such poor and unpleasant service. read more

Ok so I don't understand how they don't have perfect 5 star rating from everyone because they are the best crew I have fished with. My buddies and I went on a full day fishing trip on the impulse with Matt as the Captain and Danny. These guys were amazing we had so much fun. Now keep In mind non of us are adamant fisherman but Not to worry they got you covered. When we first arrived on the boat Danny maid us some amazing breakfast sandwiches and off we went. Matt has been doing this for a long time so he does not follow the other boats in fact he took us to areas that had no other boats in site. At the first location we got two bluefin tuna's. And the day was started right. We ended up maxing on the limit of bluefin. And the cool thing is they help you at all times unlike the big charter boats that your on your own. Anyways all I can say is that the guys were amazing and I would never fish with any other charter company. Thanks for the amazing time!!! read more
