    Turkey Avocado Sandwich
    Trini V.

    Ordered the turkey avocado and it was amazing as usual. I always enjoy LJ's Deli and the staff is so friendly! Their sandwiches are huge and fairly priced for what you get. Try the chicken salad and breakfast too, you won't be disappointed. The seating area is so cute too- it's indoor patio style with fresh plants and colorful decor that makes you feel happy.

    -Sub Hut Special
    Stacie M.

    So I was born and raised in Terra Linda. I have been a customer of this unique little deli in the industrial park for over 50 years. I live in Santa Rosa for 22 years now. I have many fond memories back in the day. I wanted to share this family business with everyone! The service was easy and fast. I went there today....so good and who says you can never go home again?! I love the mural added to the wall. The tables are original...chairs instead curved bench seating. Good change tho! This was like stepping back in time. The food here is fantastic. The bread was baked this morning. It originally opened in early 1970s as Subhut and home of the Subhut Special.

    That's $14 of turkey, bacon and avocado?! Very disappointing

    Had been here before on several occasions and sandwiches were great. Sounded good today so stopped in and got a turkey bacon avocado sandwich. Asked for no mustard but got it anyway. Not a big deal. But paying $14 for a sandwich that ended up being all bread and lettuce is not cool. I swear they looked at the receipt to see if I tipped before making the sandwich... and this is what I got

    Chicken salad
    Allie P.

    Well crafted sandwiches. Surprisingly I loved the chicken salad sandwich when I took a bite of my boyfriends. My sandwich was good but I wish they had honey mustard and sprouts. I definitely would recommend checking this place out!

    burnt sandwich

    received my sandwich burnt. It was an online order during lunch. everything else seemed to be ok

    Service was not great, it's a sandwich shop. I don't expect a greeting. Just quick service - that was missing. Sandwich was almost $15 and it felt...lacking. Sandwich is not great or good. It was mostly squished bread with lots of onions.

    *Chicken Bacon Jalapeno*

    I tried the Chicken Bacon Jalapeno and its by far my favorite sandwich to order. I normally get it to go and its still good when I arrive to my destination. The service is always great and fast. And driving to the deli is always easy to find and because I work by the YMCA its my go to!! The location is a cute little shop where you can also seat in and enjoy your food.

    -Philly Sandwich-

    Perfect ratio of meat to bread on this philly! LJ's never disappoints. Great food, awesome service, and lots of options!

    the BLAST! Bacon, lettuce, avocado, Swiss, tomato on soft sliced sourdough!
    Sophia O.

    I love that there was a lot of fresh lettuce, not just a measly leaf. Usually I would've preferred the bread toasted, but the soft bread held together the crunchy bacon & lettuce very well. It was perfect! Love the new look of the patio! Very inviting & comfortable!

    I was looking for local Thai food to find a new "go to" locally, and came across this Laos food…read morespot - named Laos. I felt compelled to stop in and try lunch. San Rafael 4th street has a lot to offer - and it's worth checking these spots out. The storefront is inviting and the inside of the restaurant is clean and well organized and appointed. The wine and beer list has few choices - and I would encourage a little more local variety to make it inviting to a wine lover like myself. I was efficiently approached by wait staff and felt welcomed I ordered Pad Woon Sen, which I've never before tried. The food came quickly - a beautiful dish of thin noodles and mushrooms with onions and celery adorned with steak. I finished my plate. Perfect lunch portion. Attentive service. The taste of quality ingredients and pride in their efforts. I will add this to my go-to spots in San Rafael!

It included ingredients I've not had before (always a thrill!) including fresh coriander herbs and green-striped skinned Thai eggplant. Also included were delicately-flavored julienned ginger, vermicelli noodles. I also chose grilled salmon. The ambiance was lovely. There were about a half dozen 1-foot spongy squares on the ceiling that usually serve as sound dampeners. I'd recommend a few more to help with the sound level. The light fixtures are lovely--see photos. The patrons are very friendly and will make pleasant comments. Service was pleasant and attentive.

    This review is for the cafe…read more Clearly breakfast at Comforts is not a secret. We went twice this past weekend and we were not the only ones waiting at the door at 8am. The SO is totally in love with the roast turkey and stuffing hash. Given the opportunity, I think he'd eat it every day. (He did have it both days this past weekend.) I was a bit disappointed in the buttermilk-cornmeal griddle cake that came with my Farmers Breakfast. The taste was fine but it was tough. Chewy is just not an adjective I ever want to apply to a pancake. However, they more than redeemed themselves with the BAT Scramble. I'll need to try a few more items on the menu, but that could easily be my "go to" breakfast. Portions were generous. I took my scone home since the scramble and potatoes were more than enough. The SO had great things to say about their chai. The space is bright and airy, and tables are not so close together as to feel like you're part of your neighbor's conversations. If there is any problem with this restaurant it is with the service. As far as we could tell, there was only one server working the entire space - both indoors and out. Although she was very personable and was doing a more than admirable job considering, it was just too much for one person. (Management, take note! She's great, but could do with some assistance.) Comforts has taken the spot of our favorite breakfast spot in Marin.
