    Pastrami chili cheese with grilled onions and tomatoes
    Don M.

    I came back for the Pastrami chili cheese Sandwich..made it a meal got fries and soda. They cook to your wishes , food was very good, Customer service very nice and restaurant was very clean.

    Inside the pastrami sandwich with everything. Large is 2 halves. I couldn't finish it and am saving it for later!

    It doesn't look like much from the outside, but their sandwiches and donuts are amazing. Pastrami and vegetarian are recommends for sandwiches. The cake donuts seem small but are perfectly soft and fluffy inside...and I ordered one at 11:30am. Just let them make your sandwich and you don't need to add anything else (take it from the Sauce Queen). Their customer service teeters from really nice to kinda pushy, but the food is fast and way better than Subway ever was. Cash preferred.

    From time to time I'll get a bagel with cream cheese on both sides w/ an orange juice... But donuts are always on point!

    Frankie's Donuts and Deli in San Bernardino Has THE BEST DONUTS! End of story no question. Now, being that he's in downtown San Bernardino, there's a lot of unique people who come through, Frank's awesome! Try a donut get a cup of coffee and see for yourself... Also they sell bagels grinders burgers ice cream and have nice drink selection, its cash only but to be real they have great food! -Eric

    This little shop has the best breakfast croissants sandwiches. Clean fast place in and out. Service…read morecan be a hit and miss. However they always try their best. The language barrier can make it seem like they come off rude. However once they understand your need they are very polite and friendly.

    First off, this place is small and jam-packed with random stuff, almost like a liquor store…read more Instead of trying to make money by selling a little bit of everything, they should focus on what people actually came for: the donuts. The staff was rude both times we visited. They were very short with us and honestly didn't seem very knowledgeable about their own products. I asked about a donut I had bought the day before, and they told me they don't even make that donut. Like... what the hell? I literally bought it here yesterday. To make matters worse, they acted like I was an inconvenience for simply being a customer. I know I interrupted whatever show they were watching on their phone, but this is a business. I can't exactly hop behind the counter and serve myself. Although, if I could, I probably would. My customer service is damn good. I'd bet half the people who complained about the rude service wouldn't even care if I handed them the same crappy donuts, because at least I'd treat them like customers instead of an interruption. Now for the food... I've purchased donuts here twice, and both visits were disappointing. Each time, about half the donuts didn't taste fresh. Some were soft, fluffy, and exactly what you'd expect from a good donut. Others were dry, brittle, and tasted like they'd been sitting there for way too long. I even bought the exact same type of donut and compared them side by side. The difference was obvious. One was fresh and one definitely wasn't. I mean, it's a donut. It's pretty hard to ruin one, but somehow this place managed to pull it off. Their donuts are barely palatable. Even worse, they all look different but somehow taste exactly the same. There's almost no flavor in the donut itself, just a heavy coat of sugary glaze trying to do all the work. I felt like I needed a chaser of Listerine after eating these horrible donuts. Overall, this joint sucks. It probably survives because it's the closest donut shop in the neighborhood, not because it's the best. Or maybe some of the regulars have never had a truly fresh donut and wouldn't know a good one if it slapped them in the face. Either way, this place has zero consistency. They don't seem to throw out the day-old donuts. They just keep selling them. Save your money and drive a little farther for a donut that's actually fresh. Trust me, the extra few minutes are worth it.
