    6 of us shared 3 sandwiches!
    Donna L.

    My first time here. Very convenient to our house. We preordered and the 6 of us sat in their restaurant after Picking up. Ordered a hot pastrami with everything on it. It had a little Spice. Great sandwich to share on Dutch crunch. Sandwich was comparable to Freddie's sandwich in north beach but smaller than Little Luca's. Make sure you Check in on Yelp For free small bag of chips!

    Tasty delectable toasted sandwiches made fresh to order at this great little sandwich shop. Friendly, enthusiastic service from the folks here every time! Located on Taraval Street in the Outer Sunset, one will find not just one, not two, but three different sandwich shops within a few blocks of each other. All are good and great at their own specialties, but I find myself returning to Grubbin' over and over again. Order by just calling them up on the phone, and walk or drive or catch the L-Taraval train/bus that stops right across the street from their front door. Skip those delivery apps that rip off small businesses like these.. I come here for my favorite sandwich that I save for special occasions - no, not for big events like birthdays or big anniversaries, but for those days when you either want to celebrate a bit or need a special treat after a long week.. Typical sandwich shop storefront vibe, with a couple of casual sit down tables and chairs inside, but most folks grab 'n go, as you would expect. My favorite here is the "Sweet Mouth Waterin'" Sandwich. Served on a crunchy yet soft on the inside Dutch Crunch Roll, the SMW is Grubbin's rendition of a non-spicy fried chicken sandwich with thick chunks of chicken breast meat dipped in batter and deep fried, accompanied with honey mustard and the standard sides (that come with all of their sandwiches of lettuce, tomato, onions, and their trademark "grub sauce" which I think is a little like "Thousand Island Dressing" perhaps.. put that all together and you've got a filling meal even before you get to your potato chips. Of course there are plenty of other meaty sandwich choices and all-veggie ones if that is more your speed. Tater tots too!! Also, the usual selection of Frito Lays chips are here, but their best chips are the Tim's Cascade Chips from the PNW.. Tim's Honey BBQ is awesome! Pro Tip: If you decide to become a regular here like me, be sure to get a rewards card that gets stamped for every sandwich you order from here. Once you have ten stamps, you get a sandwich of your choice totally for free - and gladly too!! A nice perk, and super when you are the one who orders up food for your friends/coworkers.. You'll get that free sandwich in no time! Proud to be a regular here! =). They still don't know me, but they are happy to fill my orders!

    Was an amazing sandwich that I have for while. We will definitely come back for this beautiful place. Good service

    Grubbin sandwich $12

    High 3 low 4. Guys were chill so overall a 4. I came on a weekday right when they opened Ordered the grubbin on Dutch but they ran out of bacon. MINUS 1 here. How can you not have bacon one of the more important ingredients in a sandwich? Taste - good, the aioli sauce makes the sandwich good or elsethe meats are a bit dry and no bacon (SMH)!! The Dutch sandwich has a slight hint of sweetness which was fine. Good price point for a filling sandwich

    Sweet Mouth Waterin' Sandwich
    Tina K.

    Solid sandwich spot. Lots of metered parking. Inside, small spot without a lot of appeal. The service was fine. However, the real star here is the sandwich. Fresh bread, toppings of choice, and their special sauce. I had the Sweet Mouth Waterin Sandwich- which was amazing! Big juicy chicken tender surrounded by veggies, sauce, and French bread. We got our sandwiches and walked directly across the street to the park. Look forward to going back and trying more next time!

    Grubbin' It Sandwich
    Ray C.

    Beau and I were craving for some Pastrami sandwiches midweek and decided to do a quick takeout Doordash order from Grubbin' nearby. We've tried other local sandwich spots for their Pastrami sandwiches so it was natural for us to compare the quality. For the responsiveness they are to taking, processing and delivering our order, Grubbin' gets a 5/5. For the quality, it was more of a 3/5. Droolin' (Pastrami) Sandwich - 3/5 Using a super crispy Dutch Crunch roll, there's plenty of pastrami, provolone, and lettuce in this sandwich. It is a bit smaller than typical sandwich portions would be, I'd wish they have quantity options (ie: 6 oz or 12 oz). Great concept of Dutch Crunch with pastrami which still left us really full at the end but honestly the crunch roll was baked too crispy and hard. It wasn't a crispy smooth bite. The dressing to lettuce ratio was the perfect amount though. Chicken Tenders & Fries - 3/5 The fries were super nice and crispy which we liked. I think it had a little too much salt though. By the time we received the order, the saltiness had settled on the fries and the crispiness had made the fries feel overdried. The chicken tenders were fried perfectly. I just wish they came in a bigger portion. I'd often order chicken tenders from other locations paying about the same price and the portions were much more generous. For the price and convenience, Grubbin' isn't too bad of a spot to grab -and -go. However, there's definitely better pastrami sandwiches out there if you're willing to ay for an extra $1 -2.

    Naked Wings, tater tots, Kickin and Droolin
    Jerry W.

    Staff is friendly and helpful. The guy who took my order, Tony I think is his name, was informative, friendly and courteous. The entire staff was quick and efficient. I wanted naked wings so I can taste the batter and chicken. The wings were juicy and crispy... great combination... will order again. Tater tots were hot and crispy. Cooked perfectly My son ordered the Kickin. Roast beef, bacon with pepper jack and wasabi spread. He said it was awesome.. the sauce was "kicking it"... his words not mine. I got the Droolin. Salami, pastrami and pepperjack with spicy aioli. I just have to say it was really really good. My only complaint was it was messy... the Grubbin sauce just made it finger licking good... literally and figuratively.

    Meltin' Sandwich
    Nhi L.

    I usually do not go out of my way to buy sandwiches but this place changed the game for me! It's a small shop so you have to do take out. The Meltin sandwich was flavorful and the perfect kick of spicy Crunchin Sandwich is vegetarian but it's so refreshing and good! The cucumbers add a nice crunch to it. Im usually a meat girl but was very impressed with this. Both sandwiches I got on a French roll (:

    Chicken sandwich
    Juan V.

    I was exploring some new sandwiches and I ran into this delicious sandwich place. I really enjoyed the chicken sandwich and it was very tasty. I will have to try their other sandwiches in the future.

    Juicin' Sandwich
    Olivia F.

    I LOVE a good sandwich and Grubbin' most definitely does not disappoint. Their grubbin' sauce is garlicy and delicious. The Dutch crunch was a blast from the past of my childhood and the warmness of my sandwich is already making me debate when I can eat this again.

The sandwiches are creative and well balanced. There is always a harmonious balance of ingredients. The Ms. Spicy is wonderful, as the Tajin spice is unique and adds to the flavor. Alma's Hot and Spicy was also a winner, as was the Giants. Kudos for having simple sandwiches with the option to make as weird and customizable as is reasonable! I have only ever gotten delivery because it is far away, but I am very happy with the accuracy of the orders and artistry in each sandwich. Thank you!

Friendly staff and highly recommend to order online as it can get busy on a weekend afternoon. Pictured: the Masonic -- a grilled chicken breast sandwich with their signature house garlicky mayo and the usual sandwich toppings. There are many ways to customize as you please. The sandwich was extremely fresh and flavorful but the star was the Dutch crunch bread. Definitely one of the best I've tried and just elevated the sandwich as a whole. 10/10 might have to grab two next time I'm in the city!
