Chipotle So Gouda Sandwich
Rod Z.

Amazing service and amazing food! The lady working (Jade) I'd like to say her name was took excellent care of us, the food itself was amazing and very well balanced between veggie and meat amounts, on top of the food being perfected the service was above and beyond making sure that everything was taken care of. Way to go! The food industry needs more people like her! Will be back (:

Varsity

Delicious deli in East County. First, very reasonably priced: I didn't look at my receipt because honestly, with a final tab of $17 and change how could I argue? I do know the sandwich with one side and my choice of "Dirty Brand" potato chips was a meal special. Lol look at the photo-1/2 sandwich on an onion roll stuffed with very thinly sliced turkey (Boars Head)and veggies of your choosing. Deli Belly offers many bread choices including this huge onion roll, sourdough, white, wheat and squaw. The bread was very fresh, the meat plenty(hey, you'd usually pay extra for all of this turkey,) plus crisp bacon and cheese. I chose swiss, but the usual suspects and havarti no less were options. Like most deli's you can choose your veggies, and I added banana peppers. I didn't watch while my sandwich was being prepared so I had no idea how much Deli Belly emphasizes the quality and generous portions of their proteins. You see the photo of the sandwich? The ratio of protein to veggies has to be @ least 70%-this is the kind of meal you split into two on your workday and skip the snacks! But I ramble.... The sides are better than you might think;homemade flavors. I added salt and white pepper to the two salads and naturally, added a toasty flavor to the clam chowder with black pepper. The $20 I spent including tip will be served up into three healthy, pre-prepared meals. *WINNER for the best new deli I've visited in 2019-2020. Ahh, I'm not quite through. The service was excellent-happy well-groomed, all around nice guy. Sodas: fountain style or premium bottle brand. Two additional sides on the menu plus another soup. Cheesecake slices, carrot cake and one other. Pick up and delivery. Open @ 10:00 the day of my visit. Parking lot.

Moldy Strawberry Cheesecake

We recently moved to El Cajon and have been looking for a new sandwich shop. This place has great reviews, so we were enthusiastic about trying it. We finished our sandwiches, which were soggy and somewhat unappetizing, and then opened our desserts to discover huge green spots of mold all over the whipped cream. I can't imagine how they missed that when they were packing it... and how they are handling their food to let it get that moldy. Yuck. Not feeling good about that sandwich I ate now.

Potato Salad

I giving a 3 star because of the fresh ingredients but unfortunately the past 2 times I have called in orders they have been wrong (wrong bread every time) even when we are ordering directly from the menu without any changes. The potato salad is usually amazing but this time around it was running and half cooked potatoes, for $23 dollar lunch we were highly disappointed. Also, waited 20 minutes to arrive for pick up and the sandwiches have not been started. I have a short lunch break which is why I call ahead of time. No one seemed to care actually laughed when we came in and it wasn't ready. We will be looking for a new sand which shop in our area moving forward.

Best sandwich spot in East county! There's a ton of places to get lunch but this is always my go too. Either the BLT combo or the varsity combo. Great food great prices

Chili I ordered.  Sandwich had onions after I asked for no onions, but barely had any dressing and cheese!

Wow! Their menu instantly reminded me of Cheesecake Factory's menu...extensive. But honestly,…read morethat's not a bad thing because there are plenty of options. They have everything from hot sandwiches and cold sandwiches to salads, wraps, and even breakfast items. You can order at the counter or on the kiosk. I ordered on the kiosk. Simple and quick. I ordered the wild-caught salmon sandwich with salmon, arugula, and garlic aioli. The salmon was cooked perfectly. They were a little skimpy on the aioli, so the sandwich was kind of dry, but it was still good. I also got a side of fries, and those shoestring fries were nice and crispy. Prices are reasonable, and there's seating both inside and outside. Shout out to Crystal. I don't know if she's the manager, but she definitely cares about quality customer service. Someone ordered the Green Beret sandwich, and it was brought out on toasted bread when apparently it wasn't supposed to be. She immediately went to the counter and let the cooks know about it. She meant business, and I liked that.

Food overpriced for what u get. Service - none…read moreAmbiance - loud and noisy If u prefer a quiet place to eat, dont come here. Better to get takeout and eat in your car. I ordered some soup and French Fries only because my companion likes their food. So, if u dont mind throwing $20 away to eat your food outside in uncomfortable chairs were the flies congregate, go ahead.

It's a walk-up, order and pay first kind of place, then you grab a seat, which was super easy and casual. The person taking my order was incredibly nice and patient while I figured everything out. Honestly, all the food I saw coming out looked amazing, which made it even harder to choose. They have plenty of seating both inside and outside, including a really nice covered patio, which I loved. The service really stood out to me. Even though you order up front, the servers were very attentive and came by multiple times to check on us and offer drink refills, which you don't always get in this type of setup. I ordered the steak plate with mushrooms and mashed potatoes, and everything was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The mushrooms were especially good. The only small thing was I wish the food had been a little hotter when it came out, but the taste definitely made up for it. My only other note is I wish they had unflavored iced tea. All the options were flavored, and since I'm not a soda drinker, that would've been nice to have. Overall, such a great first visit. Great food, great service, and a really comfortable atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

The lady on the phone told me to just pick it up, but her voice was so loud even though it was their mistake. That's the reason I use Uber Eats, I don't want to order and pay again for someone else's error. I told her I would pick it up when I'm free. I asked for her name, I think she said Dianne, and of course I gave my name too. When I got the food, I asked if I could get a second banh mi since it was their mistake and she made me feel humiliated with the way she talked to me. She should have been calmer, especially because it was her mistake. If I asked her, "Can I just get two since you were wrong?" she didn't need to respond in such a high-pitched tone. I couldn't handle how she talked to me, so I took a video to remember how it made me feel. I really like their food and I love Vietnamese food, but this experience was humiliating. I tried to stay calm. The food was okay, but this is something I won't forget.

We were seated along the wall which had booth seating, which I prefer. For drinks I ordered a Thai tea no boba and the hubs a coke. We order the following items for dinner: Appetizers - - Crispy egg rolls - with pork (4 pieces) - served with veggies and fish sauce, these were tasty. - Salt pepper chicken wings - (8 pieces) they were a tad over fried but flavor was good. - Spring rolls - (2 pieces) with pork and shrimp, we ordered these Togo. Hubs enjoyed these for a late evening snack. Entrees - - Combination fried rice - chicken, shrimp and cha siu (Chinese bbq pork) I liked the flavoring of the fried rice - it was not bland, but I did mix in a tiny bit of hoisin sauce. - Pho rare steak - overloaded with green onions and cilantro. We always order pho but I really wasn't feeling it that evening, so it was all the hubs. If you love tons of green onions and cilantro, get it! The broth had a really strong flavoring of the cilantro. Overall dinner was fairly good. Seemed like there were regular customers that visited often. Staff were super nice and friendly. Parking lot was not packed at all. If in the area, I'd visit again. 2026: 7
