You walk in, fill out a form with what type of sandwich you want, hand it to a person when you're called, and then wait for your name to be called. Service - The staff were friendly, so no complaints here. Food - The food is great! I ordered a combo sandwich with turkey, hot salami, and jalapeño/cayenne cheddar and all the fixins and it was delicious! The Dutch crunch roll was tasty and it was a hearty sandwich! Everything tasted great. Overall, I can see why this is a Stockton staple. For $11 you get a damn good sandwich that's very filling. I would definitely return.

Pretty upscale market with a nice deli and bakery for this area. I'd say real close to Whole Foods…read morequality and the prices match. But this local indy store has been around in this town for over 55 years, so it is well deserved for them to be a local fave. I only got a sandwich for the road and a bakery item, so no significant grocery shopping. I was traveling back home and didn't have a cooler so I refrained. But next time if I have a cooler, their meat counter will get exercised. Got a Salami Sandwich ($11/4*) from their deli and it was pretty solid. Every sandwich is customized, so every customer fills out a card, checks off your preferences and hand it over to a deli clerk. Nothing out of the ordinary here, just your basic sandwich stuff, but with quality and fresh ingredients. I liked everything in my sandwich, was even to put alfalfa sprouts in it, as I haven't had that option in over a decade. I wished there would have been an option to add oil n vinegar to make it more 'Italian' tasting, so I had to settle on just mayo and mustard, which is more classic American tasting to me. Still a solid sandwich that I was able to eat in 2 intervals so a decent value in my book. Coffee Crunch Cake ($7/3.5*) Very impressive tall cake with a very moist crumb. A little too industrial tasting for me but better than other grocery cakes like Safeway, which taste like plastic to me, so many additives and stabilizers. Cake part had a light chocolate taste, but maybe it was supposed to be more coffee-like? I couldn't taste any coffee except for this super hard and sweet candy on top used for garnish. Indeed that candy offered a 'crunch' element but in a very cloying and awkward way. Sure it was nice and glossy and even resembled shiny coarse stone like obsidian. But to take a bite that big of hard candy to go along a delicate cake was just too extreme for me. I think if that candy were in smaller chunks, more like a crumb texture, it would disperse more sending coffee flavor more evenly and not risk breaking a tooth on that hard sweet candy. I had higher hopes for this. Gawked at their butchers counter and it was pretty darn impressive, Pretty high quality stuff but also insanely expensive. Steaks start at $20 per pound and easily rises double to triple from there. But they got some serious cut steaks here, like 2-3 inch thick cuts and they even have a couple versions of wagyu steaks. Nothing is prewrapped, everything has to go through a clerk. Produce section just meh and regular. Well kept but Safeway may have a more extensive produce section. Dry goods definitely Whole Foods level. They seem to have a guy out front bbqing meats like sausages and tri-tip, like 7 days a week, which is impressive. I got there around 11 am and the employee was just setting up. Otherwise I may have tried something. Cool store, that if this were in my town, I'd be a reg. Since I was just a passing traveler, just call me impressed.

Coming to Podesto's Market is a treat for me. I get to indulge in treats that very from cookies to…read moreslices of cake, pies, and even hand pies, which I believe the hand pies are made in house. It has taken me some time, but I think I'm able to tell what items are made here at the store compared to items prepared elsewhere and sold here. The items that they have brought in are very good quality and taste great, I just prefer to have items that are made in-house, it satisfies my taste buds. Today I purchased "Podesto's Own" cookies. These are cookies they make in house. Today the flavours I purchased was lemon, malted white chocolate and a peppermint shortbread cookie. The price is $19.99/pound for these cookies and I bought roughly 4 to 6 of each of those flavours I mentioned, so I spent $11.51 total, but like I said, I get to indulge when I come to this store and it's no surprise to me when I get to the register. Some times I even surprise myself because I over estimate the prices which makes me happy to feel like I saved a little Today I also purchased three different kinds of cheeses that I was able to find in very small sizes. Literally, I think I paid $1.76 for the smallest one and I paid $3.12 for the bigger one. These are name brands that are expensive. (For my price range anyways) However these are cheeses that I would like to know what they taste like but I don't want to buy the full amount because what if I don't like it, they're too expensive for me to buy and then have to throw away so I'm excited to try the cheeses that I bought today. The last thing that I bought today was a green onion dip mix that I can only find at this store. I used to be able to find it at another store that is close by but for some reason, they stopped selling the green onion flavour and only sell the French onion, which I haven't even tried. I just know that the green onion is amazing and it doesn't matter what brand I try nothing compares to this one so I come to Podesto's to get this dip because thankfully they have carried it for years. It was really busy today, especially in the bakery and deli area, however, the people working today in that area were very friendly and tried to get to everyone as soon as possible. Once I got to the cashier everything went smooth. The long lines were gone and I got out of there without spending more than $40 today which is great. Oh, I forgot about something. I came across a fruit preserve that I did not think would be available at any store because I've only been able to find this online but it tastes amazing and it's low in sugar, which is what I'm always looking for as well. (Let's pretend like I didn't buy all those cookies today please...) Anyways, it's Fior di frutta, wild blueberries. I'm very excited for this. Now I know where to purchase this. I hope you have a successful shopping trip as I have today at Podesto's. There's so much to stumble upon and excite your taste buds!

Prices are great and you can pick up some snacks and sides inside the Mudville Market.

I came in one morning, craving some authentic Mexican chicken salad. I seen they had some here. Upon walking in, it's a small shop. They have hot food to go! Already made chicken salad, ceviche, salsas. Mexican chips, chiccharones, they carry eggs, hot links, and so much more. I got my chicken salad and chips and paid. When I was walking out I seen they had freshly made paletas. The old man who worked the register and checked me out I can only assume is the owner. Offered me one for free at no charge! I said are you sure, he said yes. That was extremely sweet of him. Now what Walmart or Safeway is going to let you take a free homemade ice cream or cookie or just an item you seen on the way out for free. Nowhere! They have sandwiches to go! I can't wait to go in and try one soon. Please support this business and man by all means!!

This is with dash pass. The restaurant missed this order completely and didn't even give us our fries we added a combo to this sandwich which was sourdough bread and was cut in two no photo taken. Where my old photo had 4 sandwiches could be choice or bread. However to say the least paying almost $40 for a sandwich seems crazy only for them to forget our fries. We called the restaurant and they didn't resend our fries since door dash said no at least they tried. In the restaurant this is $11.99 and $4.99 for a combo of that is still not even half the price we paid how is that even fair. Will never order from here.

It's an easy stop off the freeway, and the moment we walked in, Drew (the owner) greeted us with a warm welcome and friendly conversation. He shared that they grind their burgers fresh daily and source their bread from the local Genova bakery. We tried their popular tri-tip sandwich--an absolute no-brainer--and the turkey club on sourdough, both of which were excellent. The double-fried steak fries were also a standout--crispy and perfectly seasoned. If you're passing through or in the area, definitely give this local deli a try--and don't forget to say hi to Drew! He makes the experience even better.

We came in starving and picked it based on reviews and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Walking in, it's a small hole-in-the-wall with a ton of character. There's a lot to look at plants, sauces, mustards, desserts, and pastries it just feels like a place that cares about what they're doing. The staff were also incredibly friendly. They offer a build-your-own menu, plus a list of favorites on the back. I went with "The Bobby" (no tomatoes), and it was outstanding. Easily one of the best sandwiches I've had something I'd go back for regularly without hesitation. My dad has Celiac disease, so he ordered gluten-free. Anyone familiar with gluten-free bread knows it can sometimes fall apart, but that's not on this place and more importantly, he couldn't stop talking about how good his sandwich was. That says a lot. This place absolutely deserves five stars. Great people, great atmosphere, and seriously good sandwiches. We'll definitely be back.

Looks like they had some pasta salads and desserts I would have loved to tried. Called ahead so pick up was quick and easy. $18 for a smaller sandwich kind of hurt, but the side quest joy made it worth it. From what I saw, no seating, just a counter for pick up. Enjoy!
