    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.

    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.

    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!

    Food for the price was great, I'd definitely come back and the staff were friendly. A welcoming albeit small eating interior and exterior. Definitely beats out a lot of the eating places closer to the ocean strip!

    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!

    The sandwiches here were perfect. I got the pastrami Reuben. The sand which had plenty of sauce and every bite was just so enjoyable. 100/10 experience for sure. The people who were working were very attentive and made sure we got the help we needed. We went on a warm day, thankfully there was AC inside.

    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!

    We discovered HolyBelly while visiting Pismo and absolutely loved it. The huevos rancheros were out…read moreof this world. I've had them at plenty of places, and these were honestly some of the best I've ever had. The beans, pico de gallo and chorizo sauce were so good together. I ordered mine with soft corn tortillas instead of crispy ones and scrambled eggs, which I definitely preferred. My husband and I also shared the tiramisu French toast, which was delicious and a HUGE portion, so come hungry! The kids' menu is very generous, maybe even a little too generous if your kids have smaller appetites. My 11-year-old got the $12 pancake meal with eggs and sausage but could really only finish the pancake. We took the eggs and sausage back to the hotel, but honestly they'll probably end up getting thrown out. For my 5-year-old, we just ordered a pancake by itself for about $4, and he only ate about a quarter of that. So if your kids don't eat a lot, I'd definitely recommend ordering the $4 pancake by itself instead of the full kids' breakfast. In hindsight, I would've done that for both of mine. Overall, the food was excellent and the portions were very generous. We'd absolutely come back the next time we're in the area. Highly recommend!

    There's a lot better breakfast, places in town, like pennies or honeymoon Café…read more I got eggs, Benedict with bacon instead of Canadian bacon. The English muffin is all doughy and not toasted. I shouldn't have to ask them to toast an English muffin. That's just common sense. The eggs were very runny and the bacon was mostly fat and not crispy and it was too salty to eat. The hollandaise sauce is very salty as well and to much on top. They are not flexible or accommodating to a customer's requests. They also charge a 3% fee for using a credit card. No thanks. (That's one way to lose business.) The lights are very low and strange. You have to adjust your eyes. Way too dark in there. Parking is not easy. We won't be back.

    We came here for dinner with a last-minute reservation on a Thursday night while staying in Pismo…read moreBeach. We brought our dog with us, as they had both an indoor and outdoor seating area. The restaurant is located right next to the train station, and they had a dedicated carpark, but it also seemed like street parking was readily available nearby as well. The outdoor dining area was pleasant and had heaters available. Once we arrived, we were seated promptly and brought menus and water. They also kindly brought water for our dog, even without us asking them for it. We shared two appetizers, including the ceviche and tostada. Both were excellent, fresh and full of flavor. For mains, I got the misoyaki butterfish, while my husband had the bouillabaisse. I was jealous that he decided to order this because I don't like ordering the same main as someone else I'm dining with, but the jealousy dissipated once I got the butterfish. It was coated in a sweet teriyaki sauce which it paired wonderfully with, and the texture was pleasant and soft. It was served atop a bed of wild rice and greens. The bouillabaisse was also superb. It's hard to imagine that their other main dishes are better than these two, though I'm sure they're also great. We couldn't go past the lime and coconut creme brulee for dessert. Both of us couldn't get enough of this. Our waitress was very nice and efficient. We had everything we needed and never needed to flag her down for anything. Someone else, perhaps the owner, came out and asked us how our meal was while we were eating which was a nice touch. I'd recommend this as a must-visit if you're in the Pismo Beach area.
