I visited Oink & Oscar with some coworkers recently for a team lunch. Some of us are local and some were visiting, but it was everyone's first time at O&O. Fortunately, there wasn't a conference or large event happening at Moscone Center, so it was pretty quiet when we arrived - no line to order and just a few people waiting for their food. I was relieved to see how easy they made the ordering process. With all the sandwich customizations available, they keep it simple by having you fill out a paper order sheet yourself. I decided to keep things straightforward and ordered the first sandwich on their Favorites menu: Oscar's Wild. It was really tasty, and the portion was generous - definitely shareable, especially if you add chips or a different side. For non-meat eaters, there are also vegetarian and vegan options, which is a plus. Since it was such a nice day, we took our sandwiches to-go and ate at Yerba Buena Gardens nearby. (There are also some outdoor picnic tables available in Yerba Buena Lane if you prefer to stay.) Overall, it was an enjoyable experience, and I'd definitely come back. read more

Upon entering and perusing through the menu, I could have ordered pretty much anything off of it, as it all looked good. Ordered the 1962 and was very pleased at the heft of the sandwich and it delivered, taste wise. They also have a nice assortment of craft beverages and chips to choose from. My only gripe is that they don't provide a cup of water on request and you're forced to buy a drink if you're eating in. For what I consider a premium sandwich around $20, it would be nice if they had a water station or provided tap. read more

Absolutely Incredible ‼ I ended up taking a quick lunch and walking around and most of the places were jampacked on the main road and this is somewhat opposite where target is on the one street there's a little walkway going up in. I decided to take a look as all of the picnic benches outside were filled so they must be doing something right. I got the three little pigs sandwich and it is filled with meat and full of flavor and the roll was toasted to perfection. They have so many sandwich options and all of their meats are made in house along with all of their different spreads and coleslaw and so forth. The staff is working very hard because they're busy of course but they are very helpful if you have any questions. The inside is very clean and well presented and well decorated. It was really unique to have a whole case of all different kinds of sodas and other drink drinks and then they have a long wall with all different kinds of chips and snacks to accompany your sandwich. What a hidden gem ! I do highly recommend stopping here for a sandwich without a doubt ! read more

I was craving a sandwich and saw this spot pop up in SoMA so I knew I had to stop by. They have a selection of signature sandwiches or you can build your own as well. I opted for the Three Little Pigs with their housemade roast pork, porkstrami, bacon, smoked gouda, sweet bacon jam, and pickled jalapeños. For the sandwiches you can choose to get it hot with coleslaw or cold with arugula, tomato and vinaigrette. Loved loved this sandwich - the variety of pork cuts added a ton of flavor and textures and the roast pork especially was delicious. The pickles, red onions and gouda cheese added a nice crunch and spice to the sandwich and it 100% satisfied my deli sandwich craving. The portion is large as well and I end up sharing the sandwich with a friend since I was full after eating half. The store is super cute and has a old school vintage vibe inside. There's a variety of sodas, snacks, and sweets to grab with your sandwich and this spot definitely feels like a hidden gem in the touristy downtown area! As a bonus they give out a raffle ticket with every sandwich and they draw a winner every Monday for a complimentary sandwich! read more

I found this place on DoorDash and decided to give it a try because of the high ratings. From what I can tell, they specialize in porkstrami, which is their house take on pastrami made with smoked pork butt instead of brisket. It seems like most of their sandwiches feature it in some way. I ordered the 1962 on Dutch crunch, and it was really good. What stood out to me was how well the sandwich was constructed since everything stayed together neatly, which isn't always the case with stacked sandwiches like this. The Dutch crunch bread had the perfect crisp and didn't get soggy, even with all the fillings. I'd definitely order this again. A fun extra touch is that the sandwich comes with a wet napkin and a raffle ticket. They're supposed to raffle off a free sandwich every Monday and post the winning number on their Instagram story. I haven't personally seen any winners announced yet, so I'm not sure how regularly they're doing it, but it's still a cool idea. Overall, a delicious sandwich spot with a unique twist on pastrami. I'd definitely order from here again. read more

Oink & Oscar - 1962 - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

Hands down one of my favorite restaurants to visit near the matreon! Their sandwich options are very customizable and there is a preserved feeling from the atmosphere. The hot pastrami options and Dutch crunch are my go to. The hot sandwiches are amazing. They're packed well and they include a raffle ticket for their weekly raffle! Oink & Oscar also sells hard to find candy and sodas. There are stand up tables inside and proper bench tables outside. Pricing is expected, or about $15-$20 per sandwich depending on the build. read more

Wow. I read about this place and saw some reviews, but they do not give this justice. I was very impressed. I mean VERY impressed with the food. This was one of few places that I wanted to verbally thank the person who prepared it for being so delicious. I asked the staff what they recommended and I went with their top two choices. Their staff was wonderful and very helpful. I ordered the "hot" version of the Three Little Pigs and the "cold" version of the Anglin Stack. "Hot" sandwiches come on a Dutch crunch roll and creamy cole slaw. "Cold" sandwiches come on soft sourdough roll with fresh arugula, red onion, tomatoes, and a splash of vinaigrette. You can also request it to be "stacked lighter" where they gut out the bread and add more arugula, but I went for the regular options. The hot Three Little Pigs is their house-made Roast Pork and Porkstrami, bacon, smoked gouda, sweet bacon jam and pickled jalapenos. Don't forget that "hot" added coleslaw to it as well. This sandwich was phenomenal. This sandwich is like a 1A/1B battle with Deli Board for me. When I ate it, I literally wanted to express how much I loved it to the sandwich maker. This sandwich received an A++ grade for my standards. The cold Anglin Stack was great as well. House-made Porkstrami, Salami, and Cappy Ham with provolone, "Oscar sauce", and sweet pepper relish. "Cold" also added arugula, onions, and tomatoes to it as well. This sandwich was flavorful in so many ways. Very fresh and light for a deli sandwich while being super filling. The sandwich was also a great portion size. My only thing was that the sandwich may have been just a bit too tangy with everything going on it in. Could have been the vinaigrette. It was still a Grade A sandwich. If you in the city and want a fantastic sandwich, I recommend this place. It is located across the street from the Metreon so I chose to park in that parking structure and walk across. read more

Really cool sandwich shop that has a unique way that you place an order with old school paper and pencil. The service was quick - I was in town traveling for work so we came for a quick lunch. I had a choose your own sandwich option with the braised pork, onions, olive relish and come back sauce on a Dutch crunch roll. EPIC! The pork was so tender and flavorful. The olive relish - I could eat that all day long. Needless to say - it is a must try! They do get pretty busy depending on time of day. But definitely recommend trying it out. read more

The food is amazing and generously served. The crew is very nice. The only issue was that they do a lot of talking with each other and it kinda slows things down . I waited for a while for a sandwich. Theres 4 of them so they should be able to make the sandwich faster. There is outside sitting and that is so nice specially on a beautiful day like today. read more

I can hear Meghan Trainor sing the commercial now... "Because you know I'm all about that pork 'Bout that pork, no brisket I'm all about that pork 'Bout that pork, no brisket I'm all about that pork." How could I avoid a sandwich shop that makes pork its protein specialty? I heard about the "porkstrami" where they switch out brisket for smoked pork butt. After reviewing the menu of signature sandwiches on the green board (Photo 7), I decided to take the more conservative route of the order form with the retro golf pencil. I decided to bypass the porkstrami in favor of their braised pork and chose my favorite, Dutch Crunch, as my vessel of choice. Then I checked off sharp provolone, the house mayo, olive relish, the lettuce mix, tomatoes, and red onion (Photo 9). Yes, I kept it relatively conservative since it was my first visit. However, I was surprised how hefty and stacked it was. It was also pretty satisfying with the razor-thin slices of braised pork quite tender. I sat at one of their terrace picnic tables and could only devour half of it. The rest of it came home with me because you know I'm all about that pork. FOOD - 4 stars...sliced pork worked for me, especially on Dutch Crunch AMBIANCE - 4 stars...nice space, most of the seating is outside SERVICE - 4 stars...pretty efficient crew TOTAL - 4 stars...need to try the porkstrami next time RELATED - Exploring western SoMa?

Tldr: Great sandwiches, very filling and saucy. Good as a pitstop between visiting city attractions. Their sandwiches are amazing! Very indulgent and filling. Every time I grab a sandwich, I eat half for lunch and the other half for dinner. I definitely prefer their hot sandwiches for the dutch crunch (and it keeps better in the fridge) and heavy sauces. However, their cold sandwiches are also good if you want something less messy with a simpler flavor profile. I have come here several times, and the service is always great! The staff are so sweet and the sandwiches are made pretty quickly. The location itself is also nice. It's located between a bunch of city attractions (AMC, Moscone, and MOMA). Fortunately, it's tucked away in a quiet alley making it comfortable to eat outside in the fresh air. I think they mostly have outdoor seating. read more

I need to try it again. After reading reviews and perusing the menu I was excited and expecting greatness, but my Salvatore was just okay. The bread had a nice consistency and the sandwich was a good temperature but the slaw and meat combo kind of lacked flavor aside from a little spice. I probably need to find something on their menu that better suits me and I will eventually get around to giving Oink & Oscar another try. Oh, I don't have a clue what to do what the ticket that was wrapped with my sandwich. Nothing was said about it, was just in there. read more

It feels like this place has been in the process of opening forever, so glad I could finally give it a try. Lots of sandwich options, but it seems like the stars are the in-house made pork products. Delicious, though definitely not a place for pig haters. Windy City Dip (Hot & Sweet): I'm a big of French dips, so immediately gravitated to the option with au jus. When they called out my name and handed me my sandwich, I was like "where's the au jus?" Apparently they dip the whole friggin' sandwich in the au jus and give you a soggy mess. I was super apprehensive, but decided to dive in. It was actually delicious. Totally wasteful for napkins, but worth it. Like the bread was penetrated with more au jus than if I did a quick on-demand dip before each bite. The thin slices of house made roast pork were good too. And the pickled veggies, with a little kick, were perfect to offset all that richness. Rubenesque: Had to try the house made porkstrami. It was presented a Dutch crunch with pickles, pickled cabbage and a bunch of cheese. The pickled cabbage kinda dominated the flavor profile. The porkstrami didn't seem as potent as regular pastrami. It was good for sure, but I just didn't get the same spices from it. Maybe the cabbage was obscuring the flavor? read more

Simply delicious! Best Italian sub I've had in the area. Spotted this place while looking for good eats, and was very impressed. Place is easy to miss, and has such a simple sandwich shop vibe-- def worth the visit. Solid selection of pork based sub sandwiches, hot or cold, or build your own. At $17 a sub, it's a little pricy, but sandwiches are big, loaded with meat and veggies, and have such a strong quality flavor. My go to sub is always a classic Italian, and the pigsty here was very impressive! Really healthy cut of deli meat, with strong flavor, and big enough to fill me up! I wanted a softer bread so I opted for French over Dutch crunch. The menu was a little tricky to understand so I asked the guy at the counter-- very polite and friendly and answered all my questions. Popular hot sandwich is the three little pigs. It's also very good! And you can add cheese! Order came out in reasonable time.. don't have stop watch going, but would guess 5-7min? So not super fast, not slow. But def with the wait. Large selection of bottled sodas and other beverages. Standing area to eat in restaurant or some large benches outside. Napkins wrapped in the sandwich. And they enter you in a raffle to win a free sandwich with every order. Great place for a quick and delicious lunch! Recommended. read more

Hearty sandwich with lots of flavor. You can't go wrong here. You may even have enough leftover to take home for later.

One taste, I am hooked. Got the 1962, thick, taste, perfect balance, and big enough to share. Located along an outdoor walkway there is no inside seating but there are communal tables outside. The staff was fast and only waited a few minutes for them to freshly prepare. They have a selection of different sodas and unique retro candy. $16.59 for the sandwich is a steal especially if you share. read more

OMG! I wish I could give this place 6 stars. This place is amazing! The menu is so different than any other sandwich shop. It took me a couple minutes to review the menu but ultimately selected the "Pig Sty" and it was incredible. It might be the best sandwich I've had in years. The size and weight of the sandwich was impressive. The dutch crunch bread was slightly crunchy but not too crunchy. The meat was piled on and the balance between meat and toppings was perfect. I even like the little moist towelette that came in the sandwich bag to clean your hands when you're done eating. I can't wait to go back! read more

Oink & Oscar is a premium sandwich shop located along Yerba Buena Lane. It's really nice that they opened here, as the other restaurants in the lane are fancier sit-down spots. That said, I wouldn't call Oink & Oscar a cheap bite either, though you do get what you pay for. As the name suggests, the sandwich shop dishes out pork-based sandwiches. There are also options for vegans and vegetarians, but most of the menu revolves around the pig. I opted for the Rubenesque as I had been craving a Reuben for some time. It was full of flavorful and delicate meat, and the portion was substantial. The Dutch crunch bread was crispy without being hard. Some other reviewers suggested that the sauerkraut overpowers the flavor of the meat. I tend to agree; the second half of my sandwich had less of it, and I enjoyed it much more. This is a simple fix if you feel the same. My total bill after tax and tip for just the sandwich was $22.72. That's not a cheap price, but the sandwich was fairly large and the ingredients were premium. And the fact that I would return again to try another sandwich says volumes already. Ultimately, I recommend Oink & Oscar, though I would warn you to check their hours before visiting as they are somewhat limited. read more

Oink & Oscar - Rubenesque sandwich: Porkstrami, Swiss and Smoked Gouda; sauerkraut, crinkle cut pickles, comeback sauce - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've only been here once but as a sandwich lover I remember seeing that the Chronicle had listed O&O in their top sandwich list so as I was nearby I had to drop by and check them out as I hadn't been there before. Now I have sandwiches at least once per week and often more. My current rotation includes Salty's, Deliboard and Rhea's as well as Ted's so you have an idea of what I like (I live at the edge of the Mission). Wow, the Three Little Pigs ($16.95) - Braised Pork, Porkstrami, bacon and smoked Gouda, with sweet bacon jam and pickled jalapeños - was terrific! I got it on Dutch Crunch and while it was a little messy, the flavors and ingredients were top notch! I think it's the first time I had Porkstrami and i love it! The space itself is clean and there's nice seating outside as well as some stand up spots to eat at inside if you want that. Definitely wanna come back and try some of the other sandos but will probably just get the Three Little Pigs again read more

This might honestly be on of the best sandwiches I've had, maybe ever. Did the build your own and added extra pork, and oh my goodness this thing weighed more than a baby - can easily fill two people.

Staff is super nice, place is clean, highly highly recommend this new spot in Yerba Buena! read more

Oink & Oscar - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

I've only had one sandwich from Oink & Oscar so far, but I will definitely be back. This may be the best new sandwich shop in downtown sf. The only comparison in the area is Deli Board, in terms of quality and portion. O&O: $17. Porkstrami. You can order ahead online or by phone. Location is close to Powell BART (about a block) on Yerba Buena Lane next to Feng Cha on Mission St. Deli Board: $22-24. Pastrami, corned beef. Maybe that's why it's more expensive? No ordering ahead. You have to get in the queue, so it can take a while. Location is on Folsom, 3 blocks from Market St/Civic Center BART. Both are large portions--I eat half for lunch and save the other half for an early dinner. O&O's three little pigs was really good. A little sweet with the bacon jam, a little hot with the pickled jalapeños. read more

Oink & Oscar - Three Little Pigs sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

Walked all the way over to get a sandwich, only to find the place closed at just after 2. Closing time is supposedly 2:30 (according to Yelp & Google, even though their own website says 3), but I guess that's fluid? No idea, because I couldn't get anyone to come to the door to actually speak to me. Three employees standing around inside, all I could get was the universal sign for "we're closed, go away". I wouldn't have wasted my time and effort hustling to get here had I known I'd be turned away almost 30 mins before the advertised closing time. I hate to walk into a place 10-15 mins before closing, but I figured 30 mins was reasonable. With the food industry being so harsh, and places closing all the time, you'd think a business would be eager to make the potential customers happy. I'm sure the sandwiches are great, but I don't think I'd return to even attempt giving them my money again. Too many options in the city that actually want, and would appreciate, my business. read more

Wow, was this ever a fantastic place and sandwich. Can't believe I ate the whole thing!

We LOVED Oink & Oscar! We're visiting from Arizona and just loved this new restaurant. The decor is clean and adorable. We could decide between so many delicious meet sandwiches. We opted for the Three Little Pigs with homemade bacon jam. OMG! To-die-for! We're staying next door at the Four Seasons and will definitely be back before we leave town. The service was excellent! We met the owner who took time to help us decide from so many delicious choices! Such a great experience as part of our San Francisco experience. read more

Solid sandwiches! Cold and hot options, great theme, and much needed pick me up for that location.

A really good start but missing a few final touches. First, I love the ease of ordering and the enthusiasm of the staff and positivity. The place runs like a well oiled ship, and I was delighted to see old school vintage candy that I used to get at the barrel candy store decades ago - and at a reasonable price! The Rubenesque is listed as a signature hit sandwich, and I like to try signature dishes first since that's a restaurant's best foot forward. Full disclosure, I used to live in NYC so I'm super picky about big sandwiches, and I love a sloppy joe from New Jersey. The Rubenesque was a little underwhelming, honestly. I prefer a creamy sweet cole slaw on my sandwiches, but this was more of a pickled cabbage situation and the brine soaked through the Dutch crunch bread, eliminating the crunch and overpowering the flavor the meat. I took some of the cabbage/cole slaw off and ate it that way and found it more satisfying, but I still wanted a bit more of a satisfying crunch as a Dutch crunch-head myself. The orange soda was this brand I've only seen in the south in Texas when I was out there for a conference. And the candy was a nice little dessert. All in all, a good start and I look forward to updating my o review with my next order - I think I will try a custom sandwich next time instead of one of their signatures. read more

Oink & Oscar - Three Little Pigs with roasted turkey substitute. - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

Although I'm not into sandwiches, I had to try Oink and Oscar since they seem like nice local people that home makes their own meats and pickled toppings & have daily fresh bread. I was also skeptical of paying $23 for a sandwich. I ordered 2 sandwiches because 1 usually isn't enough, (I eat a lot). Their sandwiches are HUGE!. When they handed me the bag, the bag dipped because I didn't think it would be that heavy. The staff behind the counter gave me incredulous looks like, "You're not eating BOTH of those right?" Yes I am and I'm not ashamed. Thinking back, it's probably not a good idea to eat 2 of these sandwiches the same day. Their Windy City sandwich was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in my life. And it was Huge! And it was like 50% meat! I ordered the "dry" version so I could make it back to the office without a soaking paper bag, (I'm sure they make sure that doesn't happen-but just in case), knowing that they dip the meat in jus anyway in the "dry" version. The bread had a crunch but wasn't so hard that it would rip the roof of my mouth when biting into the sandwich, (like most places). The meat was tender and the mix of spicy Giardiniera and pickled sweet pepper topping I chose put the sandwich over the top. My tolerance for spicy is medium and although the Giardiniera made me sweat a little, it was perfectly spicy. I only regret not paying $2 for their special melted cheese. So I was disappointed when I ate the Salvatore for dinner. This sandwich was just as huge and I was intrigued when I thought I smelled fresh garlic taking it out of the bag. This sandwich was just too bitter and salty, so much so that I couldn't enjoy anything else. Since I really like Oink and Oscar and I think this sandwich is a good concept, I'm offering some advice to the Owners: -Use 25% less salt on the porkstrami. I know pastrami is kind of salty, but we can still get the pastrami likeness with the reduced salt. Also, have the porkstrami be prepared with a spice, (I know this isn't supposed to be corned beef, but preparing the porkstrami where a spice taste is noticeable would make it unique). -Replace the coleslaw/pickled cabbage with pickled sweet pepper or give the customer an option of a Giardiniera or sweet pepper or mix, like with the Windy City, (and the option would make the sandwich seem more Italian). The red cabbage in the coleslaw adds to the bitterness. -If there is fresh garlic somewhere in the sandwich, please reduce or remove, I'm not sure there is but something is making the sandwich really bitter. Maybe it's the olive spread? -I couldn't detect any mortadella, provolone or sesame, so maybe some more of these. I am definitely coming back and for many times over, the place is perfect, the staff is super friendly and I'd really like this place to thrive. read more
