great meat counter. The beef roast and hot sausage were great. the store is clean and the employees are friendly read more

An OG grocery store in the not-so glitzy town of Vallejo. The Food Basket is probably the last store that comes to mind when looking for specialty items, especially catered to southern-comfort cooking, although it should be the first. You would be surprised at everything this diamond-in-the-rough has to offer, from its own over-the-counter butcher shop to their deli, which makes the most incredible sandwiches. Their produce is not the greatest, but it is selective. They do offer items that may be harder to find at Safeway, and maybe a little cheaper. The employees are very kind and helpful towards their customers. When I cruise through the aisles, my imagination tends to run wild as I start to think about all the creative dishes I can make for the week. It's not your typical chain grocery store. It's more like a neighborhood market, but a tiny bit larger. Love this place! read more

Let me say I would have never tried this place if it wasn't for my brother in law. He said let's go get a sandwich. First let me start with Boars head...should be enough said but the roll was absolutely perfect. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is the service is lacking. Food 10 stars service -6 stars. read more

Have yall 4 stars because I actually like shopping here. But I just called to see if yall had sweet mango chutney, the young guy put me on hold and then forgot I was on hold and told me yall didn't have anything like that there. I literally was pulling up and came in a bought a jar of sweet mango chutney... I went looking for the guy to let him know and of course it's the 1st so yall was busy but every guy just smiled. Yall doing too much. You know yall had sweet mango chutney... anyway have a blessed Labor Day! read more

Food Basket - Chutney a whole section... lol - Delis Near Me - Vallejo, California

Sandwich was good and the staff were friendly. BUT: I won't be coming back. After parking in the spot right by the entrance, two people (probably homeless) came up to my car asking for money before I even got out. Within a few steps, two more women at a fold-out table tried to get me to sign up for a "free phone"--definitely felt like a sketchy sales scam. When I left, two different people approached me looking for cash. This was midday (1PM), and honestly, the parking lot felt uncomfortable and unsafe. I didn't feel good about leaving my car there, and the constant soliciting was a real distraction from what should've been a simple sandwich run. read more

Great neighborhood grocery store and deli! Staff are super friendly and helpful, they make bomb sandwiches at a great price. Small but good selection of fresh produce and unique items - like southern/New Orleans specialty ingredients and hard to find sodas. It's a hidden gem, check it out! read more

They make their sandwiches at the utmost highest quality. Everyone always says hi to you and is always super friendly. Sandwich is reasonably priced and always amazing.

Best sandwich spot in Vallejo. Every time it's perfect, great service and do not be fooled by it looking like a liquor store since it is next door. Best sandwiches hands down I have ever had. I am sad I retired and don't go to Vallejo as much. Love this place. read more

I hate to leave this review. I have been coming here for years for the sandwiches. Today was just not a good day. Usually the lines are long, today empty. My sandwich is darn near meatless, the little I got it burnt and unable to consume. To spend almost 20 bucks for a sandwich and chips , I would expect better quality than what I got today read more

This is absolutely a hidden gem. Great sandwiches they use the best quality of ingredients. When I'm in the mood for a sandwich this is my go to spot. They also have an outstanding meat market selection. You can find hog head cheese, neck bones, smoked turkey, links, pork chops, chicken wings are some of the options you'll find. You can find some seasonings you may need for Sunday dinner. You'll also find old school treats and nostalgic candy. The people are so friendly. Always so accommodating. read more

Love going here for a quick sandwich. They're delicious and service is great. Highly recommend for lunch

Typical grocery store with deli. Went in to grab sandwiches for the crew. They were ok sandwiches but a bit pricey at $12 for what's really just a plain turkey with cheese on roll. The meats were on the thin side. Staff were friendly enough. Store was clean but dimly lit and some of the shelves were bare. A good assortment of hot sauces if that's your thing. Drinks were cheaper than at your usual convenience store. All in all not a store I would avoid but not one that I would take time to go to either. I wish they'd up their sandwich game. read more

I had never had a bad sandwich from here before, until today. I have recommended The Food Basket to countless folks in the past but I won't again after this and honestly I won't be back. If the owner reads this I'd take a look at who worked your deli counter today. The order was placed online and the sandwich tags were filled out by hand by your staff. We ordered 2 turkey sandwiches. Both were on sourdough rolls despite my ordering dutch crunch for one. The bread was dry and hard, in a way that was not even "day old". There was very little meat (they must not weigh the meat?) and the pepper turkey was super dry as though it was sliced days ahead. The condiments were scare, I'll include pics. The lettuce was literally the stub you toss out and the red onion was forgotten despite it being checked off by them on the handwritten tag. I ended up remaking the sandwich at home on just one slice of bread. Honestly I'm just bummed out about this. read more

I just ordered a sandwich and didn't look or buy anything else. The sandwich was simple and delicious. Everything was fresh and the french roll was perfect and soft. It was prepared really fast I was so surprised. Nice people working there too. I will be back for another sandwich read more

Just ordered two sandwiches and added avocado to both I ordered the bread to be Dutch crunch. They gave me sourdough rolls. It's like they don't know what Dutch crunch is. It's even on the little slip that's with each sandwich... this is not the first time that it happened with a substitution or they just plain I didn't give a damn... $40 bucks for two sandwiches and they're both wrong. Not a good look...also just noticed they made them both the same one was supposed to be maple honey turkey and the other one was pastrami. I got two maple honey turkey sandwiches. This is just awful. The sandwiches are correct on the slips, but not the sandwiches themselves. Big disappointment. read more

The staff is very friendly, down to earth, and accommodating. All sandwiches and their ingredients are fresh and delicious. They have fresh produce & meat, and a butcher who will cut the meat to accommodate your needs. Their prices are competitive too. One of the best stores in Vallejo or anywhere else. If you want to patronize a family owned small business, this is the one. read more

Had a hankering for a pastrami sandwich on rye bread. Haven't been in the store in about a year. They have really cleaned up and organized the store better. If you are looking for ANYTHING CAJUN this is the place to go. Now, back to my sandwich. I do not like all the veggies on my pastrami. Yellow mustard and dill pickle slices, that's it. Sandwich was VERY good. I have to stop forgetting about this deli and store. Meat counter is new. Product looks really good. read more

Food Basket - Pastrami sandwich with just mustard and pickle. - Delis Near Me - Vallejo, California

I had great expectations, but I was sadly disappointed. I don't get the hype. I've had some delicious sandwiches in my lifetime and these sandwiches are mediocre, at best. I got a turkey with cheddar on a French roll. The bread did not taste fresh and I swear that had to be American cheese. I despise American cheese on sandwiches, I will let it ride on a burger ( preferably not ), but never a sandwich. Not impressed. What did make an impression, was their selection of specialty foods from Louisiana. All of the beignet mixes, chicory coffee, and gumbo seasonings I often bring back from NOLA as souvenirs, were all there. If you are looking for Camellia beans, Cafe du Monde coffee, Jambalaya seasoning, etc. this is the spot. read more

Food Basket is awesome! Great place to get a sandwich. They have a little order slip, so you check off everything you want. This means you get the exact sandwich you ordered. Smoked gouda or havarti are my go to cheeses. There is a great selection of New Orleans ingredients in this market. I also really like the meat counter. They ground their beef daily and it tastes that way. Customer service is friendly. read more

I ordered a veggie and it was very good! I loved the smoked cheese and chipotle sauce they added to the sandwich, it gave a nice bold flavor without adding any smoked meat or bacon. Would definitely recommend to give this place a try! read more

Great local market! I grew up just up the hill above Kaiser and I come back to this store whenever in town even since I've moved to Vacaville. read more

Friendly service and great quality sandwiches. A little pricy but the freshness and portions are worth it. The rest of the store offers a large variety of foods not often readily available at other markets. Our 'go to' market for hard to find items. read more

Food Basket is located right by Kaiser Vallejo in a parking lot next to a liquor store. There's plenty of parking but sometimes people can be found hanging outside the store. No worries, just say hello and keep it pushing! Food Basket is a cool little mini grocery store. They have the essentials: food, paper products, cleaning supplies and yes, items are slightly marked up as with any small grocer. My favorite thing about the store is the meat section. They have a variety of fresh meat that they will cut to your specifications. They offer meat packages and more! For someone like me that follows dietary laws of the Bible and avoids pork, they offer BEEF BACON! YES, I SAID IT! HARRIS RANCH BEEF BACON. Don't start heading over there to buy it, leave me some!!!!! Lol The staff are friendly, they just NEVER answer the phone. I'm an OG, I like to call to confirm my stuff is in stock before I go. Minor flaw but major at the same time. Pick up the phone yall!!!! read more

I will not recommend the salami at all. I got a cold sandwich there today and was extremely excited about it because I haven't been there in so long. Only to bite into the most stale salami sandwich ever. I will definitely not get this there ever again. I'm sure other sandwiches are good but this meat taste old. Very disappointed read more

Grey food I don't come here often because I don't live nearby for the sandwiches are always wonderful. Prices are good.

Overrated small sandwiches, over priced!!!! Can't mix meats unless paying an additional 4$. Expensive sandwich stingy with the meat. Just go to Safeway for half the price, fresher ingredients using same boars head meat. read more

The store looks a lot better than old owners,it's cleaner and much organized they have good selection of grocery and meat the deli looked very decent and clean! Sadly they don't have tuna which I think they should have it like every other sandwich shop. The service was great the clerks acknowledged me when I first entered and was very friendly. read more

Disappointed. When I returned to this store I was hoping to get some fresh vegetables. Instead as I approached the produce area, there was a terrible stench smell of fruits and veggies rotting. I looked over the vegetables and fruits they were expired. I asked the cashier if they had some fresh lettuce and he went I. The back and brought me one. Still it was brown. I don't think I will be retuning to this business. They need to oversee their produce section closely. So sad because I literally went there to support their local business. read more

Delightful people always very friendly and helpful Love their sandwiches and all the Cajun items you find there and the prices are reasonable read more

I come in here every now and then for their sandwiches. You can customize them however you please with a lot of options. The wait is NEVER long. & they're not greedy! My sandwich always comes out huge! Half for then, half for later! & it's always delicious! I believe it's family owned so it's nice to support a local business & the service is always pleasant. Thank you!!!!! read more

Definitely a hidden gem with a lot of cool good snacks that I wouldn't expect to find at a random grocery store. I came in to try out their sandwiches. When I walked in I was greeted by the cashier but the store was super dim. Only a few lights were on and it just looked so dead. I walked over to the sandwich department and wasn't greeted but just ignored. After a few minutes the guy asked if I wanted a sandwich and told me to grab a sheet and fill it out. The options looked promising. Sadly the sandwich was pretty whack. Not enough mayo, mustard (i specifically asked for extra), too much meat (overpowering), and the bread was soft (so the sandwich was soggy). Just a sad sad sandwich. Was pretty disappointed with my sandwich but all the good snacks were great read more
