    Chili
    Laurie S.

    Just when I was trying to stop being so liberal with my 5 star reviews we stop in on this place... boars head meats and cheeses (the best!!) you can choose from a huge menu of sandwiches or have it custom made. They have 9 different beers on tap, wine, about 25 different hot sauces. The service was very friendly and fast, the sandwich was delicious with the perfect amount of everything. My husband enjoyed the chili which came with bread.

    They have lots of chip options! Pricey but convenient.

    Found this place on Yelp and decided to give it a try on our way to the beach. It's a small local place, and the food was great. It wasn't cheap but I think it was worth it. I suggest getting your food to go and eating down the street at the beach if the weather is decent. The view from the actual deli is a small parking lot, street, and not a great scene across the street. Service was excellent. My daughter and I shared one sandwich because it was large. My son ordered the large chili and almost finished it.

    The sandwiches here are great portioned, taste good with fresh ingredients, and the service is friendly! I got a ham and cheese sandwich and it was the best ham and cheese sandwich I ever had from a shop! You can order from the ordering machine and they will bring the food out. Most people order ahead of time and then come pick it up it seems. That is the smart way to do it. The place has a few seats inside and the outside area has a few more. It's a small shop, but busy!

    Good sandwiches at good prices. We arrived at 10:55 AM & they already had people waiting outside - they looked like locals who knew the shop opens at 11 AM. Friendly & quick service. I enjoyed my caprese sandwich as it had plenty of tomatoes, arugula, basil & balsamic dressing. It maybhave had pesto on it too as the sandwish was very fragrant when I bit into it. Hubby got italian trio & enjoyed it thoroughly. He said it was one of the best italian sandwiches he's had. When we are in the neighborhood in the future, we will definitely stop by again.

    There are not a lot of independent sub sandwich spots in the Five Cities but we've found our place! Dune Side Deli in Oceano made us two incredible sandwiches with fresh bread, ample meat, and customized them to our particular tastes. My turkey was not the pressed meat you get at some places. It was "real" flavorful turkey. They will mix the veggies in with your tuna or separate (onions, celery, peppers). The staff was friendly and helpful and gave us suggestions for substitutes. There are tables to sit and enjoy your meal but it is just blocks from the beach so that's where we went to enjoy our sandwiches. We will return here many times I'm sure!

    Delicious build your own sandwich made with Boars Head brand meat and fresh baked bread Ordered online for pick up - was fresh and ready upon arrival (skip the line for pick up only) Highly recommend if you love sandwiches Line was out of the door so be ready to wait if you don't order ahead.. worth the wait!

    Pay at the counter

    Wow, I mean wow. This was my first time here and I absolutely loved it. I came in was greeted immediately, and when I told him it was my first time in the gentleman behind the counter, took the time to show me the menu and what they offered. It was amazing. I decided to choose a build your own sandwich. You grab a slip off the counter and fill it out. They have one slip for a traditional, build your own, and another one if you want a veggie option to build your own I chose the regular and I ended up getting a turkey sandwich. I grabbed a bag of chips and a drink and paid right at the counter. I went and sat down at a table and waited for my order. As I was there, I noticed that the establishment itself was very clean and well organized. They do have a bathroom, but you need to ask the employees for the code to use it. I also noticed that this place is very popular for pick up orders. There were so many people coming in and picking up orders to go. In a very short amount of time, my sandwich was ready. I picked it up and my goodness for the price. It is great value. All the ingredients were fresh and my sandwich tasted delicious. They have a great variety of chips and drink offerings from your traditional chips all the way to some brands you might not normally see. I highly recommend this place whether you're just calling an order and picking up before you head off to the beach or if you're coming to dine in. There's limited seating inside, but they also have some patio seating outside as well which is also limited.

    Found this place while craving a fresh sandwich! Really good and fresh ingredients and the price is actually reasonable, as far as sandos go. Friendly staff and quick service, definitely stop by if you're in the area and craving a really good and filling sandwich

    It's amazing there isn't a line all the way out to the parking lot for this place. Excellent choice of deli sandwiches and burgers. They even have vegetarian options and meat options with separate menus for sandwiches. Have a great selection of chips. They have some great desserts and they serve beer. What's not to like?! It's very clean and well organized and priced well.

    If you're looking for a sandwich that feels like pure happiness between two slices of bread, this deli is the spot. I ordered the Turkey Club, and it was everything you dream a sandwich should be. The bread was toasted perfectly--just the right crunch without being too hard. The turkey was stacked high, juicy, and flavorful, paired with fresh, crisp lettuce and thick slices of tomato that tasted like they came straight from the garden. The sharp cheddar added the perfect bite, and the creamy avocado spread tied it all together in the best way possible. Every ingredient tasted fresh, and you can tell they take pride in quality here. What really stood out was the balance--nothing overpowered the other. Each bite was hearty but still light enough that I didn't feel weighed down. It was the perfect beach lunch: refreshing, satisfying, and packed with flavor. Highly recommend this deli if you want a sandwich that actually lives up to the hype. I'll definitely be back to try more from their menu!

    Turkey club (AMAZING)
    Jaz M.

    This is the best sandwich i have had in all of California. I was just blown away by the quality and taste of this deli. Absulotely superior. Did a order pick up and got the Turkey Club and the sandwich cost $14 bucks. When I arrived it was ready to go which is awesome. For the price and portion that you get, so worth it. This sandwich was huge! Easily can be split between two people. The sandwich was honest just too notch. Turkey was shaved thin and tasted great. 10/10 sandwich. If your in the area, make sure to check them out. Thanks Dune Side Deli for the lunch! I already can't wait co come back again, till next time.

    Turkey club, on toasted sourdough with spicy aioli and no tomato.

    Tried the turkey club on toasted sourdough with spicy aioli and it was the perfect sandwich to take to the beach.

    With Ember being on the Michelin guide as a recommended restaurant, I went in with high…read moreexpectations. And boy did they deliver. Rarely do I walk away from a dining experience where the quality of service and quality of food fight to outshine one another, but this was one of those spots. Our server, a German gentleman, was the consummate professional- always friendly, never overstepping, and added such a warm dimension to our meal. The fried green tomatoes and the white beet appetizers were standouts. I especially loved the vinegary dressing on the greens of the beet dish. For mains, we got the leek olive potato pizza, the ribeye, and the wood fire poached halibut. The avocado chimichurri that accompanied the ribeye was the perfect balance, and the sautéed greens under the fish were savory with the right amount of bite. I also liked their selection of mocktails; the pink pony club was a particular standout. All this for $200 was a better price tag than I was expecting, but most importantly, it got the stamp of approval from my notoriously picky grandmother and uncle. This spot is worth the drive.

    Wow.....excellent food and great service. The servers work together as a team and were spot on…read more Michael was our primary and he is polite, friendly and on the ball. Great job. Started with a Butterleaf Wedge which is unique and tasty. Great buttermilk dressing. Really enjoyed it. My grandson had the 50 Layer Lasagna. He loved it. My wife had the La Rustichella Garganelli. Very nice pasta dish but a tad on the drier side. She liked it. I had the Pollo Al Mattone which is a half chicken cooked under a brick. Moist with an unbelievable flavor. The polenta slice was absolutely fantastic. The atmosphere is very pleasant. Wood fire smell, clean bathrooms, etc.
