I ordered a couple sandwiches through Doordash tonight: Gene's Atomic Sub (Large) and Roast Beef…read more(Large) based on the rave reviews on Yelp. The subs were tasty but... the amount of meat on the sandwiches were only a few thin slices. The meat and veggie portions were very uneven. It was more veggies than meat, which tasted more like a veggie sandwich sub. I could not even taste the meats in the sub sadly. I've been a customer of Submarine Center at West Portal for years and there is no comparison with their subs. It was definitely not worth $17 for a Gene's sub.

Went in to buy a Celsius. It came out to little more than $3, so I decided to just buy another and…read moreuse their 2/$4 deal that they have so clearly advertised. I was rung up and the total was $6 and some change. Told the cashier that it was 2/$4, so he re-rung me and it was 4.99. I just assume sf taxes are a dollar but I didn't ask. Just checked my statements and I was charged 6.52. Listen, I don't care about getting a 1.50 back, but that's pretty slimy! You charged me 4.99 to my face and then changed it later? That's bad business. It was a 1.50, and now you have a bad review--not because of the price, but because of the practices. There are a lot of other gas stations that won't charge you more like that. Crossing you off the list.

SeaBee Liquors Merchant Spotlight Lessons in reliability…read moreduring a Pandemic, and beyond.. On one's way to the beach, there's a block on Taraval & 40th ave, that's called appropriately, The Beachside Taraval. Walgreens is on one corner, and across the street, is SeaBee Liquors; and they have much more than just an excellent stock of liquor, which I have taken full advantage of during the Pandemic. Raj and his family, who own the Sunset Mom & Pop Taraval street store, have provided a real staple for nearby neighbors, especially during the Pandemic. Raj, the store manager, worked hard to keep the essentials stocked for when Walgreens would run out. For the elderly lady who can't wait to get in and eat that one piece of specialty chocolate, SeaBee has the box right up front; each piece of a glorious Ghirardelli square at 49.¢. Miss Maniqua savors the fresh gold penny she receives every morning she comes in. What people in the Beachside Taraval district have come to enjoy is the customization of their shopping experience. SeaBee pays attention to what customers like and need, and adjusts the shop's inventory accordingly. One customer, Peter, who's always out on the bench next door, at The Far Out Gallery, asked for a very special type of Salt & Vinegar Lays potato chips. Now SeaBee has it in stock perennially. Manish, who works at the SeaBee Market, told me that the main purpose of their store is for the customer to get what they need, but also they come here for the experience of buying their favorite things reliably. 'The market adds value to the regular customer's day', Manish says. And certainly during the Pandemic, it was a safe haven to come and get supplies. Neighbors who currently stop for a visit, might find 'the Seabiscuit Market experience', a pleasant mixture of necessities and simple pleasures for all those who enter.

I LOVE THEMED BUSINESSES…read more This can be restaurants, cafe's, shops, and even liquor deli shops too. When I was looking on Yelp to check into the SF Zoo, I saw that George's Zoo Liquor Deli popped up too. Thank you based algorithm. I knew it was only going to get better after I saw the hand painted mural of the owner juggling all of his sandwiches. We were welcomed immediately and they had a playlist of reggae version pop cover songs which was really fun and set the seaside mood. I love the art that they have on the menu of the animals and the touches of personality throughout the shop (I DESPISE corpo minimalism aesthetics), such as the plushies, the photo of the owner, photo of Bill Clinton, and much more. They also have several of their own wines, surfboard wax, and coffee beans/grounded coffee for purchase. Decent selection of everything you can find in a liquor shop and they have a community wall as well. Sandwiches are crafted in house and heated for you and you can see all of the breads that they use there. I got a heated up corn dog (not bad!). We enjoyed our cold sandwich (we were going to take it to go enjoy before a concert at the Fillmore), which was the Zoo that came with ham, salami, turkey and our choice of cheese. All sandwiches come with mayo, mustard, lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles and sprouts. I'm not the biggest fan of sprouts, but this was alright. Decently sized sandwich, not massive, but enough to share to tide you over. Definitely going to be a stop whenever we visit the SF Zoo.

Great sandwiches! The BLT could use more bacon though…read more Nice little store across the street from the SF zoo. Friendly people as well.

Unfortunately, our dreams did not come true and we did not win. But while here, we did decide to buy some scratchers. Luckily, those hit and covered some of our powerball losses. They have a decent variety of scratchers as well. Random store on the corner of 19th and Noriega. Good for scratchers. Just not my dreams of being an almost billionaire. There is the next powerball drawing tho!

For the most part, seems like a to go spot because the other half of the place is a pretty hefty Italian market. Everything looks honestly exactly how an Italian market would look lol. I will say that the pricing is a bit high but I think that's just because cost of living is going up and this place despite it being a chain, is a local chain that directly supports the local community. I like the pizza. And yet to try the pasta. I'd give this spot a try for its pizza to go and this spot is more of a market for home cooking and also has a nice kitchen for to go food. I'm just a sucker for overpriced authentic Italian markets, so I just give it 4 stars. But you might be able to find some better priced spots maybe in like Inner Richmond?

First, sort these reviews by date. Nothing new is good. I pretty much never write negative reviews…read more I take feedback to managers or owners. But this place has gotten so bad over the past couple of years, it's time. The people who staff this store couldn't care less about customers. They ignore you when you go in, they (sometimes) blast music really loud so you can't hear what they say IF they talk to you. The things they stock have dwindled to almost nothing but snacks and drinks. Instead of shelving they now have cardboard box "shelves" for things in one part of the store. The last time I was there I put something on the counter and was waiting to be helped and the person just kept stocking the shelf. He was the ONLY person working, looked at me when I came in but didn't say anything, and then turned his back and kept fussing with boxes. I could have taken something and walked right out the door. Not that I ever would do that but it's THAT unhelpful. Then when he finally slowly sauntered over he pointed to a different spot on the counter for check out. 3 feet away. Just go behind the counter and grab the item and move it where you can check it out. I walked out. I "get" that it's hard to find good retail help but the key word is SERVICE. I have never heard anyone say thank you after a purchase, a hello when one comes in. At best one gets a shrug. I was looking for a specific beverage for cooking once and I got a point from the counter. Another time I needed ice and I asked them to help grab them out of the freezer (I needed multiple) and it was as if I asked them to stand on their head. I have lived in the n'hood for more than 10 years and used to go here to pick up a beverage here or there and always threw in other things. Now I go to anywhere else. I tried again today and was reminded just how OUT of TOUCH this place is with what it means to have basic manners and the simplest customer service. The owners need to do a better job of learning about how to run a retail store or sell it to someone who does. There's a perfectly good convenience store a few blocks west and Gus's has plenty of beer and wine. Stay away from this place until they do better. How will you know? If you walk in and they don't look at you or say hello and stay on their phone just turn around and walk out. If they are trying, then see how it goes and come back to Yelp and share it's better. I wish it would be! I miss the former owners and people who used to work there who at least acted like they gave a #!@&. I'd give this zero stars for multiple visits over more than 2 years.
