This is a solid sandwich shop. I've only ordered delivery from here and the ingredients were super fresh. I was impressed by the quality of the bread. I got the buffalo chicken sandwich with a number of toppings and it was delicious. The delivery/service was fast. Not sure about the ambience because I haven't been in person yet. Will definitely order sandwiches from here again! read more

Salem Grocery - Buffalo Chicken - Grocery Near Me - San Francisco, California

So good had to leave a review. Got the Geary special hot and it was delish (added chipotle mayo, pickles, onions, Dijon mustard) Sourdough bread super good/fresh too, on the softer side but love it. One of the better sando's I've had in the city (I'm a big Deli Board fan but Salem is up there!) read more

Here's a piece of advice I can pass along to my fellow Yelpers: Trust your local bartender when you're on the lookout for a good sandwich. After all, they talk to all the regulars who really know the neighborhood. Chris at Lush Lounge told me he always gets a satisfying sandwich at this urban workaday market on Geary where the 19 MUNI bus lets off. Although that's not a selling point to me, I decided one day to take action on Chris' recommendation The market itself is clean and well kept, but I was focused on the front deli counter where I ordered the $11.99 Pastrami and Provolone on a sourdough roll with the works (lettuce, tomato, olives, red onion, peperoncini, oil & vinegar) (Photo 6). It was assembled in less than two minutes, and when I brought it home, it truly satisfied with a generous serving of Boar's Head pastrami. Thanks for the tip, Chris. Listen to your own bartender. FOOD - 4 stars...definitely a superior sandwich from a market AMBIANCE - 3 stars...clean inside but it is the Tenderloin SERVICE - 4 stars...very efficient TOTAL - 4 stars...I'd come back for another RELATED - Exploring the Tenderloin?

I'd call this store the all around store because they basically have everything you need just like the big groceries store has only with obviously less product and space. From cleaning supplies to food items,deli on hand,liquor,soda. You name it most likely the have it 5 star helpful staff. Hours of operation 7 AM UNTIL 2 AM read more

10/10 highly recommend their sandwiches. One of my favorite shops in SF. It's a hidden gem. When it comes their their customer service, they are great! V professional and v kind. I've called to ensure there wasn't a certain item on it and they always pick up and make sure my order is correct. read more

Food, sandwiches are amazing especially turkey. Tried the tuna as well, but my go too would have to be turkey

the man making the sandwiches is not friendly and seems to really dislike his job. also when the owner isn't there they close the deli early, it's supposed to close at 12 AM read more

Been ordering sandwiches from this place for while now and they never disappoint! The buffalo chicken is my favorite but also the TL club and teriyaki are fantastic as well. Always prompt and made well. Grab extra napkins for the buffalo chicken, messy in all the right way. Cannot recommend these sandwiches enough! read more

I recently tried Salem Market's sandwiches for the first time and was thoroughly impressed. The balance of ingredients is spot on, and the sourdough roll they use is just perfect - crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. It's easily one of the best sandwiches I've had in San Francisco, and I've been to quite a few delis around here. Definitely going back for more and would recommend anyone in the area to give it a try! Price was competitive also. read more

Grabbed a sandwich last night and immediately came back the next morning after discovering this gem in my neighborhood. These sandwiches were so good, the honey mustard they have behind the counter was the staple of my ham sandwich on a French bread. Safe to say a close friend of mine and I have found where to get sandwiches from here in the city, that are affordable. 10/10 recommend! read more

We shared a hot pastrami, jack cheese with everything on a Dutch crunch roll. Fresh ingredients and delicious! Neither one of us would have been able to finish a whole sandwich. Glad we split. The price is oh, so right. $10! Not sure you can get this deal anywhere else in the City. read more

One stop convenience shop with a steaming pot of coffee in the front to welcome you in. Their shelves are well-stocked, which is hard for other stores to offer during the current shelter-in-place crisis. I even saw that they offer breakfast sandwiches made-to-order at the counter! My five star appreciation especially goes out to the workers here who really helped me out with a different type of need. Right outside is the muni stop 38, and I was waiting there but was approached multiple times by a deranged man. The staff made me feel safe (and even made me laugh with their friendliness and sense of humor) and were able to chase him away. Thank you if you are reading this!! read more

Best sandwiches, good people, and the store has everything one could need at good prices. I love their hot pastrami I reccomend it!

Ordered a sandwich on DoorDash! I was pleasantly surprised. Great sourdough bread and a good amount of meat. Very good size at a good price. Would highly recommend. read more

These sandwiches had me rethinking me being vegan I come back dam near every day I'm only leaving a review cause they really good service with a sandwich read more

I find myself popping into this store around the corner from a place I work. I get drinks like Arizona teas and Parrot coconut water lol. I got a ice cream sandwich once..and then today I got a slice of pizza that they heated..They don't make the pizza lol. I have no idea where it's from, but it was $2.50 and that's better than lame overpriced pizza from Irving Pizza. Omg this spot is so funny. Try to interact with the guys who work there. read more

great neighborhood spot for quick pickup items, booze, and amazing sandwiches! ronny, nick and the entire staff have made me feel very welcomed in the neighborhood since relocating to San Francisco 3yrs ago. since that time, a lot of great enhancements have been made to store that have definitely improved the quality of life for those in the neighborhood. they now offer a great variety of fresh produce and even installed an entirely new deli counter! the new menu and deli counter service are what solidified the 5 star review from me - moving from nyc, bodega quality deli counters are what i have missed the most. providing a full sandwich menu, a variety of choices to create your own, and the massive sandwich portions - they definitely brought some of the nyc convenience to san francisco. the neighborhood can definitely get a bit rough but, if you find yourself in the neighborhood and need to quickly pickup something up or grab a sandwich - definitely stop by Salem. read more

Salem Grocery never dissapoints! Their breakfast sandwiches always make my day. They're so fresh, cheesy, buttery, flavorfull, and neatly assembled!! I love getting egg, bacon, cheese, tomatoe, on a croisant or bagel. Delicious!! Super friendly staff as well. Thank you!!! read more

Thank god they are open late or my cat would have been pissed off and hungry. I cannot believe they have such a large selection of cat food in such a little convenience store. They even have "less active" formula, which is good, because, let me tell you, Autumn does not need any extra calories. Oh, they have lots of other stuff too, and the owner even spotted me five cents instead of giving me .95 back on my dollar! Plus, the homeless dude lingering out front left me alone on the way in and escorted me to my car on the way out. Okay, fine, he was really asking for money, but I like to believe he wanted to see me get home safely to feed my kitty. read more

Place is fukkin' gangster. Enough said. My favorite thing about moving to the TL was the 2 for 1 cig deals. Who knew? Also, dude who works there is a cool neighborhood booze baller. Did anyone else see the picture of homeboy who used to work there in Vice (or maybe Juxtapose?) a few years ago? RIP my friend.... Oh, the tortilla chips with the yellow/red label there are delicious too. read more

As someone who shops this store often and is a fan of their Boar's Head sandwiches for lunch, I was highly disappointed when I stopped in last week for a bacon egg and cheese breakfast croissant and returned home only to find 2 pieces of bacon on my sandwich. Either they played me by not giving me the normal amount or they are seriously ripping off their customers. Several of the other local eateries give ample amounts of meat on their sandwiches. Not to mention, I had to wait at least 10 minutes for something that was less than adequate. Come on, you guys can do better than that! read more

I went there to get some coffee and I look on the side of my eyes I seen a deli section I looked at the menu and I ordered a breakfast egg sausage and cheese That was the tastiest and the freshest it can get And then I was shocked when I knew it's only five dollars I recommend it to everyone read more

Once upon a time i thought this was a cool store, until one morning I went in there and bought some coffee and the guy that was working at the time apparently had a major problem with the fact that I took from the coffee that was just on the last 3 drops of finishing up and I didn't take from the one that was already standing there. First of all, isn't it the customers choice at a reasonable time to decide if they want the fresher coffee or the coffee that has been sitting there for who knows how long. I guess some other guy had made their way to the coffee maker and when the "Gentleman" who was working in the store at the time walked over to the coffee maker, apparently he didn't like that there were a few drops of coffee that he needed to wipe up and immediately started to reprimand the gentleman that was standing in front of the coffee maker. I politely took responsibility by chiming in to let the guy working at the store know that I was the one that most likely had made the little mess and that I was sorry. He didn't say that's ok, maybe just take from the other one next time or anything remotely polite. He admonished me rudely and told me to take from the other one next time in a very firm manner. I took offense to this and started to try to "reason" with him by explaining why I had taken from the other one and he continued to be rude. I knew that he was not the regular person that I was used to seeing there in the store so I decided to wait for a bit and when I saw that the gentleman that usually works in the store was returning I tried returning to the store to discuss this incident with the person that I was familiar with. The other person who had originally been rude to me started telling me to leave his store, even though I know it is not his store. He then walks towards me to try to intimidate me into leaving the store and when that didn't work he took the coffee that I had in my hands and swatted it out of my hands sending the coffee flying everywhere. At the time there was some other guy in the store that then saw this who chimed in asking me if I wanted to call the police. I didn't really want to call the police and take up tons of time at this point. I stepped out of the store and the guy that had started the problems with me walked out of the store too. He first spit into the face of the one guy that was offering to help me by calling the cops and then he was calling me a Stupid White Bitch. Before I knew it, he spit in my face. If I wasn't dehydrated I could have spit back in his face but at the time I was dehydrated. I found out later that he is family of the owner of the store and that he has caused problems with others in the past. I have reason to find myself in that neighborhood on a regular basis and it so happens that sometimes our paths cross because we both frequent a certain business in the area...so it is difficult to see him and not say something and also know that I missed my chance to call the cops on this guy and get any satisfaction that I may have been able to get.... I don't understand why just because someone is the relative of a person that owns a business that person should be allowed to work in that business no matter how he treats customers that he deems it ok to fuck with. I know if I had a job and I acted that way to someone, I would be out of a job quick... Here I can't even get a job and this guy who is spitting into peoples faces left and right has a cushy job compliments of the family... read more
