this spot is soo GOOD!! I order the cheesesteak with peppers, which is consistently delicious with everything (sweet, hot, & jalapeño) i've actually dreamt about this sandwich in between visits. on top of the incredible food, evan's has a great selection of delicious beers! I had the west coast IPA, which honestly holds its own with some of my favorite SD breweries. evan's is exactly the kind of local business that you'd want to support! come in & find evan himself working the counter. he's friendly, cares about his customers, and has great recommendations. cannot recommend this place enough!! read more

Evan’s Deli & Brew - Pepper Steak - Delis Near Me - San Diego, California

Definitely going to be my go to sandwich shop in San Diego now. Cant believe I haven't been here before honestly. Solid sandwich ingredients. Fair prices. Chops veggies exactly how I like, nice and thin. Nothing I hate more than bulky veggies in my sandwich. Great selection of chips and beverages. Also has some appetizers like fries, onion rings, mozzarella sticks. Happy hour on drinks everyday. Plenty of indoor and some outdoor seating. Plenty of parking as well. Has a tv in shop to watch sports. Cant wait to go back and try more sandwiches. read more

They have really good solid sandwiches. We tried the turkey avocado and the Philly cheesesteak and they were both delicious. The meat and roll bread on both were really good. If you are normally a big eater or come hungry ask for the large, because the regular size is a smaller sandwich than normal. The service was very friendly, I felt like the man was welcoming me to his home and informed me about their best sellers without even asking. He was great! There's plenty of seating and parking at the restaurant too! read more

Hidden gem. Well worth it given how good the food is. Got the Philly cheesesteak with Maui Onion chips. Soft bread with tender meat. Fast, friendly service. Comfortable no-frills seating works well. Great lunch spot read more

Evan’s Deli & Brew - The Philly with Maui Onion chips - Delis Near Me - San Diego, California

It has been four years in the making. I remember when Evan first roughly opened, and his food is still phenomenal to this day not to mention his memory is impeccable. He always makes you feel like you're walking into your living room, family, friends, and the best food on the table. The original pastrami for the win and always the meatball sub. read more

This is truly a neighborhood deli! I was brought here by my friend who lives around the corner who says this is their to go place when they want a quick sandwich. After experiencing my sandwich I understand: you get good value and quality here! Plus the staff really care about their end product. I ended up getting the meatball sandwich and it was great! It had the perfect amount of sauce, cheese and meat ratio. Plus on the perfect roll. I was very satisfied. My friend got a tuna sandwich and it was a good looking sandwich as well! As for seating: out front there are a couple of tables on the sidewalk. Inside you can find more tables that are in a spacious area. It seems like most people take their food to go. When I'm in the area and in the mood for a sandwich, I would definitely come back! read more

That's the best Philly I've had in San Diego in a while. After fishing we came to Evan deli for the first time. Me and my buddies were hungry from being on the boat all day. We shared the Philly and it was amazing ! We shared the Philly fries and we all loved them. They also had a chicken Philly with cheese Wiz my buddies shared and they loved it. I love pastrami so I had half of a pastrami bombi sandwich. My other buddies had the chicken Cesar wrap and it was their favorite item. The owner was the cashier and he was telling us the meat, snacks, and craft sodas all come from Philly. You have to try the orange cream soda when you come. Delicious !! They also have craft beers inside. Definitely coming back! The restaurant was clean and staff was friendly. read more

First time here, we saw it on our way back from a bbq place that was full. The Whiz Steak and Italian were really good. The toast on the Whiz Steak made it really stand out and threw me back to Philly. The Amoroso bread they used for both the Italian and Whiz Steak is a definite must. I wish I could've had it with a beer but overall it was a good experience. The owner was nice and served us quickly and politely. The ambience was perfect for the type of food served. Definitely will be going back. read more

Really enjoyed Evan's deli and brew. We ordered two sandwiches, both recommended by Evan as the favorite sandwiches, the pastrami bombie and the Philly. Both sandwiches were perfect sizes but there's plenty of options to get a 12 inch sandwich and customize bread choice. read more

Delicious Philly cheesesteak. Got mine with cherry peppers. Next time I'll try jalapeños. Awesome service. I will definitely be back.

Food, service and food. Came in here with no expectations. Boyfriend wanted a philly. They recommended the Philly and a Pastrami Bombie. It was delicious, rye bread perfectly toasted. Just the right amount of coleslaw, that did NOT make it soggy. Great root beer choices and fries and onion rings were delicious. A great mom and pop modest restaurant. I recommend. read more

Evan's Deli is one of the sandwich shops in our neighborhood. My husband and I stop by to pick up a sandwich from time to time. It is one of our go-to lunch spots. We always get sandwiches to go, and have never eaten in. Usually it is when we are on our way home from running errands. The sandwiches are good quality. The guy who works behind the counter, I imagine Evan, is really nice. They do happy hours with beer and wine, though I haven't partaken, as I'm usually grabbing sandwiches to go, but it's cool that they do that. They do a variety of cheesesteak sandwiches that my husband enjoys. My favorite is the tuna melt. They do a great job. I will say that I once chose the spinach wrap and did not care for it. The last time we were there, Evan said the tuna melt wasn't up to his standards and remade it for me. I like that attitude. That said, it is a solid sandwich shop. Hubby recommends the cheesesteak and I recommend the tuna melt. If you are in the area, it is a great choice. read more

Hands DOWN one of the best cheesesteaks i've ever had. We love Evan's! It's a very deli vibe inside with a ton of sandwiches made fresh, chips, and drinks. The owners are so kind and lovely. Pro tip, if you want to order for pickup skip door dash and call ahead. We've also tried their chicken bacon ranch which is delicious but if you like cheesesteaks, do that with the sweet peppers. Immaculate! read more

Tried for the first time - place was great. Got the club and wife got the cheese steak. She's from Philly and really loved it. Club was missing its bacon but still was delicious. Will definitely be back read more

Been living in Point Loma for idk how long now but I was here when it was gaglione brothers, San Diego's "best" cheesesteak, and I can tell you now that Evan's outdoes them 10/10 and they came out with there own line of beers! The mother and father of Evan are so sweet and Evan can make pretty much anything you want and is happy to do so, there's passion and professionalism behind this mom & pop..... & son shop and it shows, plus they have sports playing! Definitely recommend read more

Saw this place right off the 8 and mission bay and decided to stop by... WOW! Evan made my wife and I the two best phillys we've ever had--and we've had a lot. The Ingredients were all super high quality and the bread was light and flaky after being perfectly toasted. They also have really good beers on tap and a ton of non-high fructose corn syrup drinks! Thanks, Evan! We'll be back. Couldn't stay away if we tried. Also, my wife is a pretty picky eater and devoured her entire Philly in just a few minutes lol read more

A small shop in an even smaller strip mall on a busy street. I would call this place a hidden gem. The staff makes it feel like a mom & pop shop, and very hospitable. I had "The Steak" which is a plain cheesesteak and I have to say that it was one of the best and freshest tasting cheesesteaks I've had in San Diego. Great price too for the quality and quantity. I highly recommend a visit to this deli. read more

Evan has us sold! Stopped by after the Kobey's Swap Meet, only 5 minutes away. We tried the Pastrami Bombie and a cheese steak. Both sandwiches were super good, filling, and served fresh. We opted for the garlic cheese fries and potato salad for sides; the fries could've had more garlic flavor, but I enjoyed the potato salad. Evan's customer service made a lasting impression. Great conversation. Will be back! read more

Ordered 2 chicken Ceasar wraps. This was a to go order and we didn't realize their error until arriving at work. Asked for a refund or partial refund and the dude on the phone denied that request and was very mad when I gave pushback. It got to the point where he was screaming over the phone. It had to be a spectacle to see in store. read more

I came in for the first time last night craving a proper Philly cheesesteak. The owner, Evan, took my order and answered a few questions, steering me toward The Philly based on my responses. Then he went to work. Not long after, the food was ready and wrapped for me to take home. Evan handed me the bag with a smile and said, "This'll be the best cheesesteak you've ever had. Trust me." Given the smells coming out of that kitchen, I had high hopes. But the best I'd ever had? It's clearly a gamble bringing a hot sandwich home, and it's unfair to judge one if you're not eating it right away, as it's meant to be served. Admitted. Door to couch in front of the TV: 15 minutes. I opened the aluminum-foil-wrapped sandwich and it was still PIPING hot--steam and all. And those smells... ----- This was, without question, the best Philly cheesesteak I've ever had. I took my time as I began. I savored every bite. The Amoroso bread was perfectly soft, the meat tender and seasoned to absolute perfection, the cheese melted and distributed with care, and the proportion of mushroom, onion, and hot peppers was just right... And when the bites were gone, I felt a replete satisfaction as I settled back into the couch--the sort of satisfaction that follows a long-awaited reunion with a close friend you haven't seen in far too long. The kind that comes from a meal that reminds you what you were craving in the first place and delivers exactly what it promises. No joke--I called a series of friends immediately after I finished the sandwich because I... I just had to talk to someone about it. Evan and his crew are doing a beautiful thing here. I'll be back, and I'll be bringing people with me. read more

INCREDIBLE bread, fantastic options, and great service. What more could you want? Delis are a dime a dozen, but when you find a star, cherish it. This place is a true star. Oh and they have proper east coast Tastykakes, not that gummy trash they slap the label on out west. The good stuff. Eat here. You will thank yourself for it. PS: Oh and we ordered the large size so we could take half to go so we ordered it all to go but he served half fresh in baskets and packed up the other half of the sandwiches for us for later and labeled them. We didn't ask, he just did it based on overhearing our conversation at the front counter. Absolutely amazing customer service doing that. read more
