I got a turkey, avocado, lettuce, bacon, pickle and cheese sandwich on some wheat bread, and oh my goodness. Satisfied my craving right away. I also had so many changes and the gal taking my order was awesome with every single one, props to her. The outside seating was also so so nice and the vibes were great. I would definitely come again. I will dream about that sandwich.

I was hungry and one sandwich was just a lot right to feel full. Be aware for first timers the process to get your food is a bit confusing. You'll head into the back right hand side of the store to place your order verbally with a staff member. Then, get in line at the regular register to pay. No one told me what to do after that, so I spent a long time waiting in front of the staff member I had placed my order with. This was wrong. You're actually supposed to stand in the area between the register and the liquor section and they'll call your name there. Hopefully this will save anyone reading this the same confusion I had :)

We first tried the "Ideal Bar & Grill" , but the gal said we couldn't sit outside. So we walked across the street to "The Picnic Basket", best pivot ever. The girls working there were sweet, on there toes and offered excellent service. The place isn't fancy, and the outdoor seating is metal tables and seating, but you can see the ocean, and enjoy the salt air. We were so surprised how good the food was! I'm so glad we ended up here. Sara makes the best food, I went back in after finishing our breakfast to tell her how perfectly she prepared our food. Don't judge a book by it's cover!

Light reggae music was playing in the background during our visit. We enjoyed two of their speciality sandwiches off their extensive menu - we ordered the Surfin' Pig and the Santa Cruz sub sandwiches. The Surfin' Pig has ham, avocado, bacon & cream cheese, with provolone cheese added when ordered as a hot sandwich. One can order with "all the fixings" or one can have the sandwich custom prepared as one wishes. Their Santa Cruz sub comes with pastrami, avocado, bacon & cream cheese, with provolone cheese added when ordered hot. Again, one can customize the toppings as one wishes. The bread was spongy and extremely fresh, as were all the ingredients on our well-assembled gourmet sandwiches which were packed with ingredients. I heard a staff member tell another customer Beach Hut freshly prepares all ingredients daily. They offer more than sandwiches: soups, salads and other specialty dishes of the day. In addition to a large variety of canned or fountain beverages, beer and wine are available.

Indoor and outdoor seating available. * BTO sandwich - Choice of protein, cheese, bread, and standard condiments and fixings. We ordered grilled chicken, Swiss cheese on toasted sourdough with a garlic Mayo and tomato and lettuce. (They threw in slices red onions even though we said no onions.) Chicken chunks were nicely grilled and tasty. Would have liked a more noticeable toast on the sourdough. * Reuben - Generous portion of pastrami, melty Swiss, sauerkraut on a rye bun. Good flavor and filling was nice and hot, but again would have liked a more noticeable toast on the rye bread and it would have made it nearly perfect. Service was friendly, but our order took a while as they had a late lunch crowd and apparently they only have one grill so hot sando orders can back up and make things slow. Overall good food and value.

By the time my food got here, it was nearly 20 minutes later than the original delivery time. I was SO pleasantly surprised by the way they wrapped the sandwich and the au jus. The sandwich was wrapped in a couple layers of paper and foil and the au jus was first wrapped in plastic food wrap in case of a leak and then wrapped in foil to keep the heat in. Both the sandwich and au jus were nice and warm and the sandwich was absolutely amazing. Great job guys, I was expecting a problem and ended up having an awesome lunch.
