They need a current review here. Tried the breakfast burrito which was very plentiful and not all that small. Fresh, super hot, taters could have been a little more cooked, kind of raw. I did like it, but it needed "something" to add to it to give it a bit more "punch" and "flavor". A nice addition to the "plate" could have been a garnish or a small cup of fruit. It looked to naked and unappetizing on the oval white plate. A good deal though, I thought. Staff always super nice and don't let "all the special signs" dissuade you from giving Pete's a try. Not 1st time here, but 1st for a breakfast item. read more

Greeter isn't friendly, not has he ever been toward me. I've been to Pete's for years. I have ordered an egg salad sandwich on most visits. The salad portion is delicious- but not on bread that isn't really fresh. You know the end pieces of a loaf are often firmer than the interior slices. That's what should be used for all sandwiches. Price for this one item is $14.. & should be made on very fresh bread. TX read more

I had the breakfast burrito with chorizo. 4 stars because the service was great and the burrito was good. However it was small. It was about the size of a water bottle for $13. The inside of the deli was a classic look, with some nice art and large beverage cooler. read more

First stumbled upon this deli last year when working in the area. I checked it out but didn't eat there that day, but I made a mental note to revisit this place someday because in addition to the line of people wanting to order (a good sign)- that extensive and expansive menu was tempting. A year later, I'm back working in the area and two colleagues and I decided to grab a bite after we were done. I will say the menu can be a bit overwhelming. MENU: They offer breakfast up until 3 pm. SPECIALS: Daily specials are posted up at the grill station. There's lots of daily specials. SANDWICHES/SOUPS/SALADS: Cold and hot sandwiches. ADDITIONAL: Pastries and desserts available. Literally, the menu can be overwhelming so I would advise checking the menu before you come cause it took me 15 minutes to decide what I wanted. I landed on getting breakfast for brunch- the 2 eggs any way- I ordered eggs scrambled well with cheese (I don't do dairy usually but it is what it is- sliced cheese melted on top) and it came with red potatoes and I asked for them to add mushrooms. It was tasty indeed after some salt and pepper. Came with wheat bread (I opted out of a meat option cause I don't eat it) and the bread was nice and buttery and came with grape jelly. Good American classic fare! My friends each ordered a specialty sandwich which they devoured. If you are truly hungry and in the area- then you can't go wrong here. Food made to order and everything is fresh. You have options baby- you have options. read more

I stopped by this place to have lunch. It's a cute little shop in a pretty busy area. I ordered their reuben and I thought it was quite good. Maybe a bit salty for my taste, but that is my fault for picking a sandwich that's pretty much all meat, haha. I would definitely come back to try the other stuff on their menu. read more

Dropped by for a quick sandwich lunch around noon. Pretty quick service if you get in before the lunch rush as a school is nearby and kids come to get sandwiches and burgers here too Had the tuna melt with little expectations, turned out to be a pretty good tuna salad with finely chopped pickles and good acidity to cut thru the melty cheezy goodness. (you get a choice of cheese, cheddar or jack) Maybe 8 tables of 4 for seating inside. Lots to choose from their menu, and food comes out within 10 mins. read more

Pete's Deli & Cafe - Tuna melt, pretty good - Delis Near Me - San Francisco, California

Super nice staff. They are crowded. So come prepared to wait in line. I ordered the sub which came with turkey, pastrami, ham and cheese. The other one I was thinking of was the the club. Whis is turkey, ham. Bacon and cheese. But I thought I should try it out and then go from there to see which one i would like best. A 7inch sandwhich is $13 dollars and a 12 inch sub is $20. They also serve burgers. Soup, speciality plates etc. So I am sure when you come in everyone will find something to enjoy. They have clean tables and bright and windows that you can eat and enjoy a meal with a friend. They have a coffee section and a section for fountain drinks. They also have a section where you can get cold drinks. I do have to say I do enjoy that the sandwhichs are cut in half. So if you don't finish you don't have to worry about wrapping up the leftovers. Every sandwhich comes in a sweet roll. But I always opt for Dutch crunch. Overall, no complaints with the food read more

This hot pastrami sandwich was absolutely delicious. Not your ordinary hot pastrami, the way the chef hooked it up was amazing. Lettuce,tomato, avocado, and pepper Cheaneys! Nicely paired with French fries read more

Love the friendly staff and simple lunch place vibe. Coffee's always great. That said, I had one of the strangest bagels I have ever eaten in my long life. I ordered a sesame toasted with butter, and I got this weirdly gummy, flattened disk. I can forgive the "toasting" it on the griddle, as this is essentially a diner, but the gummy texture was as if the bagel was not fully baked. I don't know if it steams under whatever they flatten it with, but this place could use a toaster. Otherwise, the food is good here. read more

Great food. I had it once.every body in the bay serving food sucks. Come on now. Get up and serve Great food

Good coffee and good bagel. The guy who works there is nice. It's a great place for a quick no frills coffee with a friend.

I have no idea why I forgot to review this a YEAR AGO! Pete's is the BEST deli I've ever been to... like ever. There's so many choices of lunch, breakfast, salads, sandwiches, deli, drinks, allllll the things. The Italian is probably my favorite so far. The sandwiches are HUGE! One is good enough for two people unless you're tummy is loving Pete's food. Super small space and limited seating and has some weird business hours. Every. Single. Trip. To. San. Francisco. I. Stop. Here. Extra emphasis ;) Seriously, stop reading this & go to Pete's Deli! read more

$16.00 for a meat ball sub that would've left a six year old child hungry. Ridiculously overpriced for the tiny size and big price.

One of my favorite lunch spots to go to when I'm working. I love the friendly staff and variety of options on their menu. Their burgers / breakfast items are good but my absolute favorite thing to get is the Philly cheesesteak and fries. I will even go as far as saying the cheesesteak is way better than the beloved cheesesteak shop across the street. The only complaint I have about this place is it's super pricey for the food that they offer. If you're on a budget, beware. I usually only go here once or twice in a week as a way to treat myself. read more

Great atmosphere and service! Below average food with above average prices. $30+ for a sub-average cheese steak fries and a drink? read more

Great spot for a quick sandwich. They have a lot of selections on their menu, and it's all affordable prices. I got the 7" Hickory Turkey Sandwich on a cubano, and it was more than enough food. Came out quick and the food was great too. read more

Sad to say, the food here has gone downhill. Used to stop in for a breakfast sandwich regularly and it was always good. The burger I had the other day was just not good though. Looked and tasted like an old freezer burned bubba burger and the fries were nothing but crunchy grease. read more

Ordered takeout today... To start they gave excellent customer service. They verified my order and jts specifications to make sure they made just what I wanted. They had run out of tots and verified that fries were an ok replacement. The burger was utterly perfect and was more value for the money than I expected. Each patty being 1/3lbs. It was cooked as ordered and topped exactly as I had requested. The fries were perfect as well, hot and fresh with just the right seasoning. I will be buying from here again and often. read more

Ordered a couple Breakfast burritos for the team today. Service as per usual is prompt and courteous. Definitely a bit of history at this joint! Love the location.

Owner was courteous and nice. Best freakin Rueben I have had in my life. Had that New York feel. Some weird reviews are from some crazy people for sure. Great experience and well made food. Great Cafe ambiance. read more

Went here today for the first time and had a double cheeseburger based on another person's review that it was the best cheeseburger they ever had. I will say it was very good. Very much in the homemade style. Plenty of food for sure. The menu looks terrific. I would be happy to come back, they must do pretty good business being around all these medical facilities. read more

Best cheeseburger ever and this from someone who owned a restaurant and is a dedicated burger aficionado! Great execution of the classic all-american sandwich. I would even recommend this place to my grandfather who guided me to a life of burger appreciation and had very high standards for the classic Definitley coming back. read more

Had the turkey club sandwich on a roll here recently and while it didn't stand out compared to some of SF's many great sandwich spots, it's still pretty good and if you have to go to kaiser for something it's a very solid lunch option. read more

This is one of the very few places open during the shelter in place order. I've come in here before the shutdown and it was fine. Food is good. I've liked everything I've had so far (tuna melt, a couple of different veggie sandwiches, fries). The staff is friendly. They have fountain drinks, but they also have bottled/canned drinks in a refrigerator section. Tip: They accept cards with a minimum of $10, otherwise it is cash only for under $10. read more

Normally their food are very good But I had food poisoning last time with unknown reason Very bad vomiting and diarrhea for a whole day Went to see my doctor and got some medications to recover for two days I gave three stars because I really like their burgers but no more for me from now on The place is acceptable clean Acceptable services because no services actually will received, all self services deli. read more

I eat here often since I work in the medical building on the same block. Their soup of the day changes pretty frequently, but when they have it, their Chicken Tortilla Soup is the BEST I have ever had! It can be on the spicier side depending on the batch, but if you can handle it, I think it adds a lot of flavor. I suggest calling ahead in the morning to ask what kind of soup they have that day. If it's a Chicken Tortilla day, go for it! You will not be disapppointed! read more

Great food, loved the sandwhich, great service! Would come back again! Lots of choices for sandwiches!

Solid sandwiches and great classic deli vibes. The prices, however, do not match the food and ambiance expectations.

Very welcoming if just needing a bite to eat, while waiting for family member at UCSF. Good sandwiches, clean neighborhood deli.

Worst sandwich ever! If your vision of a "Hot Fresh Turkey Sandwich" is nice pieces of juicy white meat, then this is NOT the place for you. My sandwich was made with the dregs of whatever shredded dark meat was left at the bottom of the pan. And I got large chunks of rubbery skin, tons of fat, and some pieces of inedible cartilage too. See the picture... disgusting. Hoping I don't get sick. read more

The BEST Breakfast Sandwich, Lox and Bagel and Hash Browns (extra crispy requested). We are regulars for breakfast!

Too pricey for the quality and quantity given. The neighborhood could curtail their prices if they were not such gluttons and set examples by bringing their lunches from home. The front counter/cashier guy is a good person though and I think that weighs a lot. read more
