    Mocha tastes like papers soaked in water. You cannot taste anything in it but paper and burnt plastic. They seem to have nice food and snacks easy to grab during lunch break. I do not recommend their drinks at all though.

    chicken avo wrap.
    Valerie M.

    So surprised. The food here is fantastic. The best wrap I've ever had. They toast them! Avocado, chicken and sprouts. We had dental appt for our son next door and knew about this spot only because my ex used to work near by and most of the office buildings near by know about this family-owned gem. They have sandwiches, wraps, acai bowls and smoothies. Oh, they also sell coffees and coffee drinks.

    Pastrami Sandwich
    Terrence S.

    Been here several times now and had several different sandwich choices. It's a small family run business, with a nice business owner. The prices are average ($9-11 per sandwich) and the sandwiches are not bad. Tbh, they all taste pretty similar, but my favorite so far has been the Santa Fe club which gives a variety of flavors within one sandwich. There's also soups, drinks, and breakfast options before 10am. Not much seating indoors, but there are tables with umbrellas right outside. Solid option if looking for a quick lunch.

    Great service, very nice and informative about their sandwiches when asked. Out of the three items we got, the ham fig was really something else. My brother enjoyed his TPB too

    Curry chicken plate
    Jason B.

    Support your local small business. This family run sandwich shop is a hidden get in the heart of UTC. Not just the sandwiches though, the real secret is the Tuesday curry chicken plate. A hearty serving of meat, fresh salad, rice, and plenty of delicious curry on top. Just the thought of it is making me hungry. Drop by and give it a try. Guarantee you'll want to go back for more

    Great little spot really enjoyed the staff the owner and even better with the food. Great cheesecake what a deal. I splurged for two slices.

    Place had flood recently and they kept the business open. It smelled terrible, it is all about making money, they don't care about hygiene.

    Coming back to send my love to my favorite sub place…read more I've sadly moved to a different part of town so Fatboy's is no longer a few blocks away. I still try to stop by every few months as this place holds a special place in my heart. A no frills spot. Solid and consistent. To the point but friendly customer service. Fantastic drink, chip and snack selection. Sandwiches are always bomb asf. The hot momma and BLT loaded up is my favorite. My husband still loves their Ruben (it is his favorite place to get it.) You get a small potato or macaroni salad on the side with a pickle (perfect crunch.) I personally think it's a great little add on. Their chili is also simple but delicious. I personally think their chili pairs perfectly with any of their sandwiches. It's not a heavy thick chili. Which is why I think it pairs so well. I won't lie it's a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. It's loaded up and good quality. I never feel gross or overly bloated after eating here. I will be coming back to Fatboy's until I move out of San Diego or die. lol. One of my favorite gems in SD. Always will be worth the drive or walk. Thank you for always delivering even years later.

I used to frequent Fatboy's because it was close and convenient for a long time, but I am rarely able to visit anymore... parking is a bigger challenge every day in North Park, and finding even a 15-minute spot takes way longer than the drive for me now (but the walk is too far to pick up a quick meal). Today I was down the street for something else so decided to order a sandwich. I was excited, then my jaw dropped when I saw the price increases. It's $18 for the North Park Club now, with no extras. I already had a hard time justifying $15 for a sandwich but I'm officially, 100% priced out now. I know it's not necessarily on the business owners; rent is exorbitant in NP, profit margins are small in the food service industry, and operating costs are high. Our city is eating itself alive, but thank you for the years of sandwiches!

We typically go to Iowa Farms since it's close to us and we're familiar with the location. We love getting the potato salad and bbq baked beans (prepackaged) sides there when we stop in, but if you're not early on the weekend, they usually run out. So we decided since we'd be in the Bay Park area, we'll check out the original location, Siesel's. Glad we did! I wanted to make a slow cooker brisket one weekend, so it was perfect. Siesel's is a bit larger than Iowa Farms and feels a bit more open. Same great cow awaiting outside the store. But they have a whole deli counter with all the sides plus more! They didn't have any ready made prepackaged bbq baked beans, it was better, made fresh daily and we were able to get as much as we wanted at the deli counter. They also have several different Siesel's signature potato salads and pasta salads that aren't offered prepackaged at Iowa farms, which I absolutely love! My favs are the Asiago pasta and deviled egg potato salad. We also decided to try their Tri-tip sandwich made to order at the deli and it was delicious! Fluffy bun piled high with Tri-tip covered in bbq sauce and have the option to add cheese and anything else. Love it! Staff is always very helpful. Parking lot can get full on the weekends, and they can run out of the pre-prepared meats in the front counter, but make sure to ask if there's any more in the back or they may be able to prepare some for you! We'll definitely be back! Until next time! :) Simply the best! Series: 17 2026: 34
