I went with the pepperoni + pastrami sandwich, and it hit every craving without weighing me down. Fresh, stacked right, and one of those sandwiches that makes you sit back and go, "Alright... this was the right call." The service sealed the deal. Super friendly, patient, and genuinely warm. They let me take my time ordering, didn't rush a thing, and even brought the sandwich out to me--small touches that make a place stand out. Great food. Great hospitality. And definitely the kind of spot I'd come back to anytime I need real fuel before hitting the trail.

When I walked in it took me back in time to when I was a little girl going into a market with my grandparents back in the 60's-70's. The owner, Bennett, was at the register. He was checking orders and confirming what we ordered. He knew many of his customers by name and knew their regular orders. The sandwiches were HUGE so I ordered 1/2 a sandwich and I only finished 1/3 of the 1/2 sandwich. My husband and son ordered full sandwiches and only finished half of theirs. We took the rest home. Great place. Great food. Friendly owner. Loved it. Highly recommend!!!

Fantastic! My friend…read morerecommended that we pick up sandwiches here before a Big Sur trip. I'm so glad she did - this place is great! If you'd like to order a sandwich, there is a picnic table outside with clipboards and order sheets. You can order off their very extensive menu of sandwiches, or create your own. There is a wide variety of bread, meat, and cheese options so everyone can find something they like. Be very cautious if you order a whole sandwich because saying they are huge is an understatement. When you are ready to order, you bring the sheet to the back left deli counter where they have their display and desserts. While we waited for our sandwiches, we took some time to look around the market. It is fantastic! The decor is lovely. The items they have in stock is also impressive. They have your basic items like chips and soda, but also a large international snack section. There are shelves of foreign chip flavors and drinks which is very neat. They also have a super wide variety of domestic products that you can't typically find everywhere. I was thoroughly impressed with all they have to offer. The sandwich itself was the cherry on the cake. It was the biggest sandwich I have ever seen. I was shocked at how thick and heavy it was. It was incredibly affordable too! It tasted delicious and very fresh. I will definitely be a repeat customer whenever I am in the area.

I'd seen the reviews/pictures, and was in the area, so I figured I'd give them a shot. The restaurant was super clean, staff extremely friendly, the offerings were vast but the sandwich was really a bummer. I ordered two different sandwiches and nearly everything was great but it just felt like they were missing something. The bread and ingredients were fresh but there was no seasoning to speak of. Both my and my wife's sandwiches had bread, meat, cheese but no onions, mayo, mustard or anything to bring it all together. The sandwiches stood on their own but it just tasted like the ingredients on bread, nothing else. AGAIN, all those components were great but it just didn't come together well at all. I'd still give this place another shot, maybe I mis-ordered, but both sandwiches just felt like they were missing "something".

I stopped by for a quick grab of some kimbop (Korean sushi that has things like pickled veggies), but somehow walked out with a bag of Asian chips, mochi, ice cream, drinks, candy, and SIX rolls of kimbop! Yes, SIX!!! I came for 4, but ended up buying extras because they cost only $2 each and were warm and freshly made. (The Asian in me can't resist a good deal!) The owner was the cashier, and he said they have been there for 40 years. What a great mom and pop store: huge variety, excellent prices, and they have fresh kimbop! There were so many people coming in and out while I was there. No exaggeration -- they all had kimbop in their hands!

They were kind enough to sneak a couple onto the grill for us, which was an amazing gesture. The hot dogs were absolutely delicious, served on a high-quality bun shipped directly from the East Coast (the same ones they use for their Philly cheesesteaks). It was a fantastic, flavorful surprise. As you can see from the photo, my wife thoroughly enjoyed diving right into that massive foot-long! The service was top-notch, the food was spectacular (such great quality and flavor), and they truly care about their customers. We will absolutely be returning and highly recommend this spot to anyone in the Seaside area! Thank so much, its really a pleasure to find a crew that love their trade !

Haiku: La Sala's Bi-Rite Market…read more Cute deli market Famous hearty sandwiches Friendly, family-run. --- On our road trip back home, I'm so glad we stopped by La Sala's for their famous tasty and hearty sandwiches. I've heard so much about this legendary, family-owned deli and market. I couldn't decide between a hot or cold sandwich, so I got both the Meatball Sandwich and the Roast Beef Sandwich on Dutch Crunch bread. These sandwiches were hefty and hit the spot. The meatballs were savory, and I loved that the bread soaked up the juices and tomato sauce. It was my first time trying The Dutch Crunch bread. The crispy, mottled outside and soft inside made for a fun textured sandwich. It didn't taste any different, but I thought the crackled crust was so unique. Service was friendly and efficient. She gave great recommendations for sandwiches. The market was handy to grab road trip snacks. I'd definitely come back when I'm in the area.

We finally got the chance to check it out. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. The Prunedale Market is located along side the highway 101 freeway in the small town of Prunedale. It just takes a few long right turns to get there. Parking is easy and accessible out in the front parking lot. From the front, the market does not look like a popular BBQ spot. It looks like a simple small market store to grab quick snacks and drinks. Once inside there is a BBQ and deli section to your right. A small dining area is to your left. The decor is old fashioned and quaint. The 2 gentlemen greet you with friendly hospitality. We ordered the Tri tip sandwich, half slab of ribs which includes 2 potatoes and a cup of corn chowder. The pit master/owner Martin, who use to work for Original Joe's, was kind enough to also include a quarter chicken leg, a sausage, and extra ribs. It was so much food for our party of 3. Everything was delicious and hearty. The Tri tip sandwich was scrumptious with the flaming Fritos adding a nice crunchy texture and kick with every bite. The ribs were juicy and smokey. Potatoes complemented very well with the rest of the meat and chicken. Corn chowder was so tasty and creamy. I did not know corn chowder was that good. Overall we enjoyed our experience at the Prunedale Market. The staff were super nice and accommodating. They even offered for our son to grab some free ice cream to go. We politely declined. The prices were very reasonable. All that food fed us for the next 2 days. Lol. We hope to be back when we are in the area with other friends and family.

So, as you're driving down the I-5 and looking for a place to get delicious sandwiches, this is the perfect spot! And, while you're there, stock up on wide variety of handcrafted sausages, brats, beef sticks, bacon, marinated meats, dry rubs and more! We brought an insulated bag with ice packs to put them in. We grabbed some for family we were visiting in Sacramento and stopped again on our way back home to stock up. We tried the Brisket and Ribeye sandwiches. The bread got soft fast, maybe a little too soft. They were both hot sandwiches so not sure if it was from a little too much bbq sauce, juices from the meat or how it's wrapped. The brisket and ribeye were tender and juicy. I liked the Ribeye a little more since it had mushrooms, bell peppers and onion. I would have liked the bread to be more toasty since we ate the sandwiches there. But, that's my preference; I love more texture in my food. Loved the variety of sausages, brats and beef sticks that we got. The bacon was a lot thinner than we're used to. We bought lots of their dry Wolfsen's seasoning since it's one of my bf's favorites! I loved that the beef sticks that weren't too oily and very tasty. I wish we had gotten more of them! The sausages were so flavorful!! We tried them in a variety of dishes.

I asked if he had any recommendations, and he suggested the tri tip. I hadn't even noticed it was one of the options, so I was actually glad he pointed it out! I told him to make it however he thought it would taste best since I'm not a picky eater, and he absolutely delivered. The tri tip sandwich was so good! It was packed with flavor, the meat was tender and delicious, and the bread was just right. It ended up being such a great choice, and I'm so glad I took his recommendation. The sandwiches were made quickly, and the customer service was outstanding. He was so attentive, acknowledging everyone who came up to the deli counter while keeping orders moving efficiently. You could tell they genuinely care about their customers. When we checked out, the cashier up front was just as friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Between the amazing service and the delicious sandwich, we'll definitely be back to try more of the deli menu. If you're in Carmel by the Sea, Bruno's is absolutely worth a stop!
