I work nearby and was craving a deli sandwich so I decided to give this place a try. Unfortunately the bread was dry and it didn't have a lot of meat but it did have some extra protein that wasn't requested (see photo). Idk what kind of bug it was, definitely not a fly bc it didn't have wings. It was alive and crawling around when I picked up this half of the sandwich. read more

Grapes & Hops Deli - Delis Near Me - San Diego, California

I have eaten here about 6 times and have tried multiple items across their menu. The steak and chicken plates are over a pound of food, pairing that with a large Gatorade comes out to 12.57$ of homemade quality food in the best way possible. The staff are very friendly and really give a vibe that makes it easy to come back as they treat you like a friend. I am very happy to return here any time, from their breakfast sandwich to lunch options this place manages to be delicious, affordable, and they love returning costumers. I can't speak on their alcohol options other than there are more options than I can count. Call ahead if you mind waiting 10 mins but if you don't mind then you can just walk right in and have a seat outside while your food is prepared. Anyone looking for a quick and filling meal needs to stop here read more

Good ass sandwich, would definitely come back again. Cool staff and a good drink selection.

Best deli EVER. Wow. I had the best sandwich of my life. I ordered the San Diego native sandwich on multigrain bread. I don't know what else to say but just go. Service was above and beyond. The man at the counter was incredibly kind and was so attentive to us even though they don't have waitstaff. They care about their customers and are nice people. Inside was definitely cramped, but it's because they have so many delicious food items to order! read more

Ordered through the yelp app which goes through grubhub. We ordered and paid through the app then walked down to them. Its part deli and part liquor store. They have A good selection of chips to go with the sandwiches and also a small drink section. It was pretty good but I asked for no pepperoncinis and they still put them on :( luckily I could pick them off. Overall it was great and I will probably be back. read more

Grapes & Hops Deli - Joey's Classic Italian Sandwich without the dressing and bell peppers - Delis Near Me - San Diego, California

Wow...I've never been so disappointed in a meal. I ordered the Honey Bee Sandwich, which is so raved about on yelp. It was horribly dry and the most simple, boring sandwich. And way overpriced for such a tiny simple thing. And to top it off, I got horrible food poisoning from the sandwich, so that was fun. read more

You put any sandwich on a pretzel roll and I'm happy.. you put an Italian sandwich on a pretzel roll and I'm guaranteed a happy customer. Let me tell you why this Italian was good- it was packed full of meat!! So much curated protein! they use provolone cheese so it's a subtle flavor. The sandwich comes with peppercinis and raw bell pepper (no tomato!). The dressing is oil based with a mix of herbs. All the flavors compliment so well! A great Italian sandwich overall. I ate the sandwich 6 hours ago and I am still stuffed! There is outdoor seating. A variety of retro sodas ( Jones soda!), beer, and hard liquids available for purchase. You can get a punch card so your 8th sandwich will be free. If you get the pretzel bun- just be aware that the bread must be toasted for health purposes. They do this for you automatically. Will be back for sure! read more

SOLID! The proprietor was calm and courteous and recommended stuff respectfully. Deliciousness in the number 19! He even cracked open a 15 pound ice bag just to give me a cup of ice I asked for ! Wow! Excellent service and hospitality-- SUPER YUM food! I'll be back !! read more

Came here after hearing some quite positive reviews, and wasn't disappointed. This place is STOCKED with any kind of alcohol you can think of, and the deli does a good job of making a sandwich. I ordered a classic Italian on a French roll, and also had the pleasure of trying the same sandwich on a pretzel roll. If I had to do it again, I would avoid the French roll, it was a little light and thin, and compared with the pretzel roll was severely lacking in flavor. The sandwich itself was filled with flavor, and stacked with all the classic italian meats, tasty cheese and veggies...the only thing I was was missing was some tomato! About $10 for a sandwich, so its a little on the pricey side, but it does have a good portion of meat, so all in all not a bad deal! read more

Grapes & Hops Deli - a hand holding a sandwich - Delis Near Me - San Diego, California

The turkey is super fresh, there's just enough cranberry to give it a little sweetness, toasted gave it a nice crunch. The avocado was fresh. The sourdough bread was delicious. It all melded together nicely for a consistently delicious bite, all the way through the entire sandwich eating experience. It was cut hamburger style rather than diagonal, which was also a nice change-up. It paired nicely with the adaptogen Yerba mate that I also purchased. It also came very nicely wrapped which provided ample protection between my sandwich and the table once I unwrapped it to eat. Finally, I'd like to mention the incredible customer service and the fact that I really love the guys working there. It was a delightful experience. read more

The menu here is different from what you see in the photos but however their deli sandwiches are still quite delicious

I don't think this is necessarily the best local deli in SD, but I do think it's the best deli IN a liquor store. So if it were to compare to regular stand alone delis it's good, not the best as yelp rated it the #1 local spot. I had no issues with the sandwich. They used high quality meats and ingredients and assorted bread which gave it an extra touch. I got the Joeys Classic Italian sandwich. They pack on 3 different meats of which they use boars head. The meat slices were thick and plentiful. I got my toasted and that was a mistake. It just got too oily and soaked in the bread. Next time I'll try it not toasted. I got jalapeño bread and it had a good kick to it. Overall, I wouldn't say the best deli but it's pretty high up. I know other deli that uses their own meat and it's also very good, I still think Nosh is the top in downtown for lunch. But G&H is a good lunch spot, the Italian will cost you about $10. Make sure to check your sandwich as they gave my friend the wrong one. read more

As others have described, Grapes and Hops looks like a liquor store but operates as a well-functioning deli. I grabbed a sandwich here after I was at an event in the East Village. Like any valued local deli, it's sweet that a number of the sandwiches are named in accordance with the location and patronage. I got the Market Street Select (Sausalito Turkey Breast, 3 Pepper Jack Cheese, Leaf Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, Mayo) on Rosemary Parmesan Bread. Ordering was seamless and the sandwich came out quick. I enjoyed it on the patio, which is a good place to observe foot and vehicular traffic pass by. The only minor thing I would have liked is for the bread to be slightly toasted. All in all, Grapes and Hops has solid sandwiches with the right amount of ingredients and great customer service by the staff. There's even a loyalty program that's different than other typical sandwich spots: I believe you only need 6 purchases to get a reward! read more

I wanted to get a sandwich to eat later on in the evening as I knew I would get the late night munchies. So as I was on my way back to my hotel from wandering around, I stopped into this deli/alcohol store based on the yelp reviews. At first I thought I had read wrong - I saw bottles and bottles of alcohol...but no food. But tucked in the back is where they have a small deli counter. You can order your sandwich at the register. It takes a few minutes to make it and you are on your way (it comes with a pickle)! I ordered the Boardwalk - chipotle chicken breast, red peppers, provolone, avocado, spicy mustard, lettuce, tomato. You can choose what kind of bread you want - i decided to be healthy and chose whole wheat. It was delicious! Perfect for a quick late night snack - and they certainly don't skimp on the meat. For $9, a little pricey, but worth it. Don't let this place fool you - come in and get your sammie here! The staff (owners?) are really friendly and they seem to know a lot of the regulars that come by - talking to them, know their names..etc. A true friendly neighbourhood deli! read more

I love this little spot! The owner is so nice and always gives my dog a piece of bacon when we come in! They will special order things if you request which is always appreciated. The sandwiches are also amazing!! Highly recommend! read more

What a neat find! I work around the corner from this 'deli' and have walked past it more times than I can remember, but had never noticed it before. The reason for this is because it is located inside of a liquor store (strange I know). A few of my co-workers somehow discovered it and raved about it for days. Slowly people around the office began to try it and had nothing but glowing reviews as well so I finally became so curious I had to try it. I looked at the menu before hand so knew exactly what I wanted, but keep in mind that they have an enormous amount of options and the online menu does not list it all. I decided on the Boardwalk sandwich; Chipotle chicken breast, picante provolone, red bell pepper, fresh avocado, mayo, spicy deli mustard, tomato and fresh green lettuce. I opted out of the mustard because that is just awful..... The highlight for me was the plethora of bread options. They provide an entire page worth of options ranging from different fresh breads to wraps. I decided on the jalapeno and cheddar bread which went GREAT with the already spicy chipotle chicken breast. The service was not incredibly fast, but still not too bad for lunch hour. The bread was so fluffy and fresh while the meat was not only plentiful, but juicy as well. It is not too often that a simple sandwich impresses me like this, but I just loved it. I will absolutely be back. The fact that the owner was extremely nice and inviting is a big plus as well! read more
