Ordered the Italian sandwich... 1 word EXCELLENT !!! Got the sandwich exactly how I like it. Service: everyone is nice and helpful Ambiance: fun atmosphere... you feel like you're sitting in your neighborhood bar getting a bite to eat. read more

Oh boy. Another FAIL... on MY part. I've been by this place a number of times and never went in - as it's always packed - and I'm an impatient Mo-Fo. So clearly, it's always packed because it's good, right? RIGHT! COME ON! I had the double Great Beef. I substituted cheddar for pepper jack, and it comes with lettuce, tomato, and mayo, on a soft and delicious onion roll. Phenomenal! That's all I'm gonna say. Go here! read more

This place is awesome for its green bay packers gear everywhere! The works are extremely nice, they genuinely look so happy to be there and they're so accommodating The food is cute. Lmfao. The sandwiches are good, they are just so simple. Super duper simple, and expensive. The quality is there, I just haven't found THE sandwich. The selection of beer is also so epic! That's what ties it all together. I'll be back till I found THE sandwhich read more

The food was awesome. Everything was made to order and was very fresh. There's a great drink selection, almost anything you could ever want, you can find it there. There was a neighborhood deli /bar atmosphere, a lot of people seemed to know each other. The World Cup was on the TV's (they have like 5) so that was fun also. I am really happy we went there and will be going back!! read more

This is a great place to get a delicious deli sandwich. The prices are a bit higher than other sandwich places, but you are getting a quality sandwich. I ordered the Little Italy with chips, drink, and a pickle. I love and good pickle that isn't a typical sour dill. The sandwich was amazing, the bread was so soft. Sandwich's are the same size, doubles are double the meat. This is a total Packers hangout, there is Packers swag everywhere. I could spend all day looking at everything. There's plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. There's a large bar with several beers on tap. Everyone is so friendly, they treat you like family. Its to bad they aren't open Sunday for Packers games. read more

Food, hard to say clearly? Hear me out. My baby had bacon avocado sandwich and I had Little Italy with three deviled eggs and a 17 oz Pliny draft. Sandwich with beer, full marks because beer was so potent and fresh. Sandwich was proper, I prefer a banh mi crisp bread type, not so here. It was toothsome and stand-up bread, hard to plainly describe. But next visit I want a pickled egg and a Chris sandwich. Order at counter, get plastic laminate cards, go to bar with taps, order and get beer. They call your card's name mine was Wari. Go square up get Sandos. Beer and sandwich sits very nice before noon on Saturday. But honestly Mattern Sausage pork chop sandwich is more better, as is Claro's Italian cuts. But this spot owns its own territory I am glad to call it a new bosom friend, World Cup on tvs. Get the draft Pliny if on offer. Attitude adjusted. With sublime refinement. read more

I tried the Turkey Club and it was Good , pretty decent size . I got 3 deviled eggs and MAN they were the worst I've ever had , Had to bite my sandwich a couple times to get the flavor out . Service was good , staff were friendly. Place was clean and was cold because they have a huge refrigerator full of beer, so bring a sweater . read more

This attractive joint was packed on a Friday afternoon which should tell you something. It told me a lot of people were playing hooky from work to enjoy the draft beers and excellent sandwiches available. Of course, I was only there myself on a Friday afternoon as a faithful unpaid restaurant reviewer. The Spicy sandwich is absolutely packed with hot pastrami and other meats. I got the double meat version and it's a squat sandwich but extremely fat. It honestly looks really small but it's a belly buster, trust me. Make sure and exercise your snake jaws beforehand. It has tons of flavor and is an outstanding sandwich. The Smoked Turkey and Gouda with bacon added was fresh and delicious. The Turkey and Avocado came on delicious squaw bread and was simple and nice. We also tried the potato salad, pasta salad, and artichoke hearts, but only the artichoke hearts were above average. The sides were fine but not essential. Don't forget about the incredible canned and bottled beers and soft drinks for sale along the far wall. Even better, unless the beverages are packaged, you can pull off a single can or bottle for purchase, just like you can at Trader Joe's (yes, really). Every store, and I mean, every store, should do this. This is top notch service and, presumably, smart business. Speaking of service, the counter fellow was extremely friendly and appreciative. We ordered takeout but the vibes here were great. If I had had the time, I would have gotten a sandwich and a draft beer or three and hung out for a couple of hours. They also have TVs for sports viewing. Put this place high on your list. read more

Very good food. Fresh ingredients all the way around. Excellent selection of beer and ales as well. They had a few TV's up on the wall and they seem to be Packers fans! Great vibe inside, but soooo hard to get to through the week during lunch rush hour. read more

Their sandwiches were good but definitely not worth it their sandwiches were too small.

Dropped by this spot on the way to the beach and it did not disappoint!! The menu is straight forward with what seems to be some specials and fan favorites. My sandwich was delicious and instead of getting a number you get a drink company card thing, which is fun. I didn't grab any of the drinks but there were a ton of options and you could mix and match. Everyone was so nice but the turn around time was a little longer than I expected for the food, but it was worth it, plus the pickle was a treat. Just a heads up, they are packers fans through and through, at least that's what I got from the decor! read more

Best deli I have encountered and I can't wait to come back to try all the sandwiches ! I like the casual and unassuming atmosphere from the establishment. Customers and staff were so great to hang out and talk to! Service was fun and trustworthy. Entering the delicatessen, you will find the sandwich and chips order counter on your left The beers on tap towards the back of the store. If this isn't fun already, don't forget the bottles and four pack beer selection in the refrigerated shelves! Mix of different brewed beer selection on tap. Snorkel Liips from Kern River. The best! Sandwich selection can get overwhelming but know that you can always come back to try the rest!! We ordered Turkey Avocado on Squaw bread. I love this sandwich. Bread was so good! We were fortunate to dine during afternoon Friday Trivia. We didn't partake formally but we played amongst ourselves and it was so much fun! Can't wait to come back. Dog friendly on the patio. read more

Parking is awful and sandwiches are good but bit pricey. Bit slow for Friday lunch hour. Bit confusing on the ordering process, prefer to pay before getting sandwich so I don't lose my seat. Great customer service! Turkey and Avocado sandwich was pretty damn tasty and the pickles were amazing! Brought home the Little Italy - Double and that was good and refreshing with the artichokes in there. Didn't know double means double meat, not a whole sandwich. Next time getting single since double was $23 for Little Italy. Two sandwiches was $45. read more

My BF brought home their sandwich to try. He got the Little Italy Sandwich and the Turkey Club that I forgot to take a picture of. I did like the little Italy sandwich more than the turkey club. The bread was light and the sandwich was very fresh. The service was a little slow, but they were very friendly. Definitely welcome back to try their other sandwiches. read more

Ordered a double turkey and avocado on squaw, it was so good, but sandwiches are a little pricey. Staff are amazingly nice. It's so busy at lunch that it can be hard to find seating and parking. I dislike the ordering process of paying when food is ready and not getting your drink until then. You can lose your seat when paying if both orders in your party are ready at the same time. Wait for food is long, so it would be nice to have a drink while waiting. read more

Really cool local spot -- part craft beer haven, part sandwich shop. The vibe is laid-back, and the staff is awesome. The gal who took my order was super helpful and genuinely friendly, which made the experience even better. I ordered the avocado bacon sandwich, and while it was tasty and fresh, the $17 price tag felt a bit steep for just a sandwich (no sides). Great spot to chill, grab a bite, and sip something cold. Would definitely come back -- just maybe hoping for a lunch special or combo next time! read more

This place is an amazing gem! Grew up here in orange county and worked at both St. Joes and CHOC for 8+ years and this place is "new" to me since I moved.

Delicious!!! The bread is so fresh. Generous meat. Lots of options. Loved both sandwiches I've tried so far. Looking forward to the next.

I come here weekly or twice a week! Great lunch spot in between work hours for sure. The AC is nice!! Honestly one of the best sandwich shops I have came actoss. My boyfriend and I love the craft beer selection and they have raspberry framboise! Omg soo good. I love the service as well, they are friendly staff. The ambiance is really nice vibes, it can be busy, but plenty of seats to go around! read more

It's Sandwich Saturday and I was craving an Italian sandwich super hard! Hollingshead popped up via Yelp and what's super crazy is I knew exactly where that was. I've seen it a lot being in my hometown, but I've only gone past it. This is my first time going inside and having their food! #mindblowing Of course -- out of curiosity -- I asked what their most popular sandwiches were. It was the Great Scott, which I plan to have next time! But back to the main event -- my delicious-ness photos of the Little Italy! It... hit... the... spot!!! It was so good! I wanted extra meat and cheese, thus making it a Double. The mild peppers with the artichokes was perfection! A masterful delicatessen moment for my taste buds! I'm a huge fan of mortadella. This sandwich had the perfect flavor pairing with the zest from the artichokes, pepper, and vinegar. Texture was good as well. The French roll served well with the meats, cheese, and vegetables. Something else bomb about this place is that it's a sports heavy, especially towards Cheeseheads (Green Bay Packers). You can watch the game here and get a beer! There are so many beers to select from. They even have soda pop for those non-drinkers. Hank's is one of the best soda pop companies. Yum! Going back to the Packers -- it is definitely decked out with a lot of green and yellow. It looks cool and has personality. There are Green Bay Packers memorabilia and merch hanging from all corners of the place. It makes sense since the original founders are from Wisconsin! A very cool and unique style the restaurant has is instead of calling out orders with numbers, like most places... they will give you a card of a beverage. Your que to get your order is when they call out your drink name! How different is that!? I do move supporting traditional mom-and-pops. This one was established in 1963! That is unbelievable! Again, I'm born and raised in this area and cannot believe it was my first time today. Better late than never, I guess! Besides, they have one of the best potato chips -- Zapp's Voodoo! The first best chip ever is the purple bag called Hawaiian Kettle Style Potato Chips in Sweet Maui Onion. Parking wise -- I can see that it may become an issue. The strip mall that it's in can get packed due to the number of businesses located there. Next time, I plan to come with my boyfriend. He will get soda pop and ill have a beer while trying the Great Scott! read more

I've been coming here for 10+ years & their service & quality of food hasn't changed. It's my fav deli spot by far. My first impression of the ambiance was interesting bc it felt like you're eating in a liquor store but I thought it was a brilliant idea to have a sports bar area where they served beer on tap & table seating. Hubby & I always sat at the bar to have our sandwiches with a mug of beer. I noticed the owner of the place is a packers fan & so there are packers gears hung up against the wall which was different & cool. It's definitely a different feel compared to other spots I've been to. As for the sandwiches, I usually ordered their albacore tuna salad or turkey & avocado. It sounds simple but so good. It's served on squaw bread which is soft & delicious. One thing I love about this place is that they don't stuff their sandwiches with extra meat or too much condiments like other places. It fits perfectly in your mouth. Hubby always got the pastrami & Swiss which is served on rye bread. Another good delicious choice. Asides from sandwiches, they also offer sides, chips, etc. I will continue to support their business. read more

1. The sandwich is simple and comforting! 2. The spot has fast-casual vibes with lots of Packer Football Decor! 3. The staff were friendly and timely with my order! 4. There are indoor and outdoor tables! 5. Parking lot is small, but there is street parking! Note: There are two gender-neutral bathrooms! Photo: Dr. Pepper and All American Sandwich read more

Charged me double sandwich price for single. 25 bucks! I like the atmosphere, but I got overcharged for an overpriced sandwich.

Honestly one of the best delis in OC. It's a Packers bar, so definitely a fun spot if you're a fan! They serve a ton of beer and DELICIOUS sandwiches. I've tried a few and honestly I don't think you can go wrong with any, even their sides are super good! The place can get packed sometimes so there can be a wait, but the service is typically fast. The only downside I'd say would be the price, it is a bit pricey (imo) for the sandwiches, but I do think you're paying for the quality! read more

For starters, we had a heck of a time finding this place. The address says it's on Main Street, but it's actually facing a side street. We almost went to another restaurant because we were so frustrated trying to find Hollingshead's. Then when we got our sandwiches, my husband found his sandwich wasn't warm and toasted, the way he likes it. The owner told us that he doesn't have a toaster, he steams his bread. Well yuck, that doesn't work. My husband's sandwich was barely warm and pasty-looking, and the pastrami sandwich my sis and I shared was soft and mushy, not at all appetizing. Even the deviled egg had hardly any flavor. Nope, we won't be going back. read more

Nice spot. Took a little longer than I expected, but worth the wait. Pricing is fair but a little expensive for the amount of meat on the sandwich I ordered. Definitely open to returning, but after the lunch rush for sure. read more

Expensive but delicious sandwiches! I ordered the Smoked Turkey Club ($15.49) and it was savory. Yes, it is very pricey, I know...buuuut it was so worth it. They do charge like .50 cents extra if you would like extra pickles or pepperoncini. I do believe they use fresh ingredients because the lettuce and the bacon had a nice crunch, not like other sandwich places where it's been sitting on the counter for days. They have a bar in the back with enough seats to have a beer or two with a friend. They have a HUGE selection of alcohol! It's kind of overwhelming but if you are the type of person who enjoys trying something new, then definitely come check out what they have in stock. Parking does suck, it's in a crazy busy shopping center. I have been in this shopping center at different times during the day and there isn't a "best time" to come lol. 4 stars because I haven't gotten a chance to eat inside and enjoy a cold beer lol. read more

Absolutely amazing experience and the yummiest food ever!!!! I am so glad I stumbled upon this gem! My mom and I are from out of town and needed a good lunch spot, I found this place on yelp and we decided to try it out. We got the beef & blue, oh my the flavors magically burst together in your mouth and the little Italy which had artichokes - and wow who would have thought that addition would truly make it drool worthy. We couldn't get enough and loved the deviled eggs as well. The atmosphere is so fun too. I highly recommend this place, get there fast and you're welcome. read more

Great place to go to especially if you're a packers fan. The service is friendly and weren't annoyed that I was ordering so many pickles. The place is very tamed it's not a regular bar that's dimly lit. In a way it kind of looks like a grocery store where you can buy chips, beer and sandwiches. My sandwich was delicious and the bread tasted like it was freshly baked. The pickles are exactly the same as the pickles from Disneyland, which I love. You can have a beer while you wait for your food as well. Ill be coming here more often. read more
