    Tuna sandwich with cheese, lettuce, tomato, red peppers. And a pickle
    Nishalina B.

    Very simplistic menu options. Tuna is just tuna in oil, which I liked. I enjoyed the simplicity of the sandwich and it's taste. Not many topping options; just dressings, cheese, lettuce, tomato, red peppers, and wax peppers. The pickle on the side was nice and firm, and sour! Several tables inside and outside. Customer service is friendly. They left the front door open which invited flies inside, unfortunately.

    Wow! Great fresh deli sandwiches. High quality ingredients. The meat is cut to order and the fuccacia bread is made fresh. I probably haven't said 'fresh' enough times. The staff is very friendly too.

    Small family owned restaurants. Service was super fast despite there being two large orders ahead of us which was great. Lots of options of drinks and chips. Fresh meats and cheeses that are cut in front of you. Potato salad and macaroni salad were really good. Definitely a good sandwich spot

    Great local sandwich shop! Called in my order which was great so my food was already ready for pick up. For two sandwich and two bags of chip I paid $25. They slice their meat fresh the soft roll is fresh and soft. This is a cash only place which I didn't know and don't carry cash on me so that was the only downside, so don't forget your cash they do have an atm located inside the store $3. Fee. Customer service was great. I got the #4 sandwich, that had pastrami and turkey the sandwhich was pretty thin and smaller portion but tasted good. Would come back to try the pasta. They have other deli sides like pasta salad and potato salad as well.

    I ordered a number 10 with an iced latte. The homemade focaccia bread is so good. I would come here just to order the bread and the nice man at the register. The coffee is also great. Highly recommend!

    Roach was found in my pasta.
    Jasmin M.

    I went with my family and found a roach in my food I'm not joking! If there's one roach then you know the place is infested. We also called the health department I was disgusted. When I called the place they didn't even care he just had an attitude like it's nothing new to them.

    Do they take phone orders? I hear the tiramisu is delicious but they are always out when I stop by.

    Finally decided to visit this Stockton staple and boy am I glad I did. Let's dive in…read more.. Ambiance - This is a corner market with Italian items and the big draw is their sandwich counter. You walk in, fill out a form with what type of sandwich you want, hand it to a person when you're called, and then wait for your name to be called. Service - The staff were friendly, so no complaints here. Food - The food is great! I ordered a combo sandwich with turkey, hot salami, and jalapeño/cayenne cheddar and all the fixins and it was delicious! The Dutch crunch roll was tasty and it was a hearty sandwich! Everything tasted great. Overall, I can see why this is a Stockton staple. For $11 you get a damn good sandwich that's very filling. I would definitely return.

    Honestly I'm so sad that I'm barely trying Genova for the first time since I am a Stockton native…read moreand my grandpa loved this place while I was growing up and I can see why. They really brought a fresh taste to Stockton and it sure needs a little Italian culture there lol. I have been to both New York and Italy so I have a lot to compare to and I really loved this place. Lots of fresh meat and the sandwiches are so good, the cannoli is also fresh and really good as well. Definitely going to go back again. Service was a little slow but in fairness they did have a long line, ambiance was very old Italian deli vibe. I wouldn't say Italy but I would say it's more leaving towards Brooklyn vibes.

    I'd been wanting to try this place for a while now, based on word of mouth. In order for the 2 of…read moreus to get maximum exposure to Fork It's quality, ordered 1 12" Cowboy with BBQ sauce on the side; 1 12" Clucking Bacon Ranch, 1 chocolate cream pie, 1 coconut cream pie and a single order of onion rings. My husband called in the order and I advised him to get there early as things have a tendency to sell out. 15 minutes later he arrived in the small strip mall off Don & Hammer, happy to find a disabled spot almost right in front. The area itself is a bit sketchy but okay during the abbreviated hours, mostly 11AM-4PM.. Closed Saturdays and most Sundays. The two big bags of wonderful smelling food cost $70, and I will describe and show photos of just what you will receive. A special note for the owner's son, Big D. The fact you noticed my guy was both elderly and disabled and offering help with the bags was beyond and above. He doesn't mention it but he's still a bit unsteady after hip surgery. My food rating is 4.5 but genuine kindness bumps it to a full 5! We started in splitting the chicken sandwich. I loved the fresh, lightly toasted bread and the fact this small business father and son team source locally. The roll was dressed with shredded lettuce and a couple ripe tomato slices. Two meaty slices of bacon added to the enjoyment, but what really knocked me out and made this such a fine value, 2 huge, (about the size of your palm and fingers), slices of breast with another half thrown in for good measure. The chicken benefitted from marinating then grilling just right. Missing in action? Any and all ranch dressing-I even looked for to-go containers but none to be found. Comparing notes with DH he said his bread was dripping with sauce to the point of being soggy...I guessed when the sandwich was upright on the drive home everything wet rushed to one side! Stuff happens. The size of these sandwiches is huge but we moved on to the Cowboy for dinner. Cut in two, I took the smaller side, closer to 5". I've deconstructed down to the point of separating out onions, mushroom and tri tip. We opted for Provolone for more of a cheesesteak vibe. Generous slabs of mild cheese helped hold the whole thing together. DH grilled tri tip and ribs for the Stockton Ports game for several years and knew what to look for. The consensus, fair amount of meat, cooked medium well, tender with good flavor. I specified BBQ sauce on the side, which was no problem. That way I could deconstruct my half Cowboy, could be a nurse thing! DH thought too many onions while I thought the ratio to meat was spot on. Sadly the mushrooms turned out to be 3/4ths of one button mushroom thinly sliced for my share. Both grilled onions and mushrooms add additional moisture and flavor. Adding the sauce, a molasses tomato blend with a small peppery kick made for a very enjoyable meal. The onion rings were about 1/2" thick and plentiful. Crispy on the outside while still being moist on the inside with sweet onion. The coconut pie was creamy with toasted coconut sprinkled over the whipped topping. The crust was of interest, buttery cookie instead of graham cracker or standard pie crust. Our chocolate cream pie was a chocolate lover's dream. A light mousse touch to the filling with heavier ganache brownie crust. We're still working on that one. So 4 meals, 2 happy campers and even our dogs give 4 paws up.

    1st time stopping in and OMG!!!! The service was great!…read moreWhen you walk in the door the smell of the Tri tip makes your mouth water! I had 'The Real Deal' ( Tri tip, grilled onions and cheese of choice), the garlic fries with Parmesan cheese and two desserts lol! The 'Brown Sugar Apple Cinnamon Cheesecake' and the 'Key Lime pie'! Once a month, they have pastrami sandwiches! Everything was delicious, will definitely be back to try more of the menu.
