Fabulous sandwiches and great employees! Love these sandwiches and the bread is amazing.

One word: meh Coleslaw was sparse and bland. Bread was good, pastrami was portioned well but really not that flavorful. So to repeat myself: meh. Great value on Upside. I'd eat here again just for the Upside value 5 read more

San Francisco Sourdough Eatery - Pastrami with coleslaw - Sandwiches Near Me - Rathdrum, Idaho

Worst workers/ managers I've ever seen so sad to see a great business go down hill!Used to be a great spot to grab a fast awesome sandwich now days there's no quality and straight disrespectful workers! read more

Worst service!' Worst salad!! A bunch of kids working handling money and food with no gloves!!!

Well went back and still the slowest service around. I watched 24 cars in the McDonald's drive through next door get their food before I did. Subway, Jimmy John's, etc. are similar establishments and they are so much faster than this place. The SF Sourdough on Lancaster is way faster too. (only one in drive thru and my wife went in the go to the bathroom and there wasn't anyone on line inside.) read more

Very poor customer service. Talking to one another while we were ordering, did not have a lot of the ingredients for a popular sandwich. When I asked for a bread bowl with the soup, I was given styrofoam bowl with room-temp soup and cold bread. My boyfriend asked for light lettuce and pepper jack cheese, was given lettuce and Swiss cheese. Super displeased. While we were eating, we could hear them in the back talking loudly and swearing to one another. Not that I mind conversation, it was just very vulgar language for a customer service setting. read more

San Francisco Sourdough Eatery - Sandwiches Near Me - Rathdrum, Idaho

This is a tough one. The sandwiches were tasty. I had a Sourdough Club. But the place itself was a mess. We walked in and there was some problem and they couldn't do orders from the front cashier position, so the guy asked us to get in the drive-thru line. Weird, but ok. Life happens. But that line took... forever. Nearly 30 minutes later we finally got up to order and it took them nearly ten minutes to make two sandwiches. We took them home only to see they had messed up my wife's half of the order. When combined with other reviews, I'll pass. I hit up the one at 95 and Lancaster and they hustle. I've never waited more than 10 minutes in line, plus inside is really nice and clean. Huge difference between this one and the Highway 41 version. Skip the 41 location and stop at the 95/Lancaster spot. read more

Food is hit or miss , but the service is always awful . I showed up 45 minutes before close and they had already shut the kitchen down and informed us that there's was no soup and we could pick from pastrami or corned beef . Frustrating that this location is always ran by irresponsible uncaring teenagers . I'm just too desperate for a decent sandwich when I'm in this area read more

Had the #12 tuna. Description claimed it would be "piled high" However, it was a very thin layer of tuna [delicious, mind you] with two tomatoes and a scarce amount of onions. Cant charge over 9 dollars for JUST A sandwich [no drink no chips] and expect to get good reviews or repeat customers.Especially when you're located that close to a McDonald's. Gotta play ya cards better. And San Francisco is a dog shit city read more

We went to the Rathdrum location tonight and although there were only 2 girls working, juggling the walk-in, drive thru and online orders, they both remained professional and friendly even though you could tell they were busy. Great job to those girls! We need more kids like them. read more

we got our food to go and once we got our order our rueben sandwiches there was hardly any meat, no sauerkraut, and it was not even warmed. we also found a couple hairs in our sandwiches as well. we were here last week and the food was perfectly fine. i'm not sure if they switched the people, but who ever made the sandwiches did a very lousy job. we sat down and none of the tables were clean. we had to wipe down a couple tables for our big group as well. this was definitely not a great experience. read more

San Francisco Sourdough Eatery - Sandwiches Near Me - Rathdrum, Idaho

Worst sandwich I've ever had!! I ordered a blt, they told my husband when he picked it up, they were out of some stuff and when he got home I had a bacon sandwich with a couple red onions slices??? Absolutely ridiculous, now I remember why I never go there. read more

I ordered two sandwichesv thru door dash pick up. It told me 20 minutes. Then it went up to 37. I waited 35 and no update on the tracker, so I drove over. I asked about my sandwiches because it had been nearly an hour, and he said well, there's other people in the world. This was not acceptable and was very rude. This is not the first bad experience here but it WILL be the last: not only the service but after having almost an hour to make a sandwich you'd think they could get it right; the "hot pastrami with coleslaw" ended up unheated and a few strings of lettuce instead of coleslaw. It was awful. Tried to post 4 times a review (nope, wouldn't go thru) tried the Contact Us link on their website (also four times) and got the same error. No luck finding a corporate office phone number but I'm sure going to keep looking because I am really angry about this. read more

Great service great sandwiches friendly employees made fresh to order better the subway and Jimmy John's whenever I want a sandwich I go here read more

Had the soup and sandwich Friday. Great bread. Real sourdough. Compared to The Local Deli up the road, bread does make a difference. Not too hot on soup (loaded potato) which had too much cheese (personal preference). Sandwich however full of flavor, mostly due to bread. Real sourdough taste. Hands down winner against The Local Deli bread. If I want fresh deli sandwich in future, it will be here. read more

I've lived in Rathdrum my whole life so when this place was put in it was a hot spot, sandwiches were amazing, good amount of meat, always had a long wait, but so worth it. They had such good sandwiches on our birthdays our mom would take us any place we wanted for lunch and we would always choose here. Now......it's a joke. I wasn't going to write a review, but today was the last nail for me especially with what my sister told me that happened to her last week. Went through the drive through, long wait as always, don't mind. Order a #20 w/ tomato, lettuce, cheese, mustard, and mayo. Make it a combo w/ Pepsi lite ice, and there loaded baked potato soup. Dad gets an Italian w/ the works no combo. Gal was nice, hands us our bag, and then hands me the drink (covered w/ Pepsi on the outside and so full it's coming out the top and drips on my shirt.) Get home, hungry as every and ready to eat, dad opens his sandwiches and I ask him "are you sure that's a large?" because it was so small in size. Dad takes a bite and starts commenting on how it doesn't taste right and how the bread is "black" , pull the sandwich apart, and there is sooooooooo much balsamic on it that the bread is LITERALLY BLACK and the dough is soggy! It's south dough. That's tough bread! How much fricken balsamic did you put on there to make it soggy??!?! I start w/ my soup. Open it up and it's basically water. Watered down cream w/ potato chunks that's it. It's cold. Like cold, and I live less then a minute from this place so it didn't get cold on the drive. I take a bite....barf. Nasty. And the smell was worse. It was so sore smelling On to the sandwich. Can you say sauce?? THE WHOLE THING WAS FRICKEN MAYO AND MUSTARD. NOT JOKING. Slice of turkey, slice of salami, 1 tomato slice(for the whole "full") thin slice of cheese, and lettuce. There is so much dressing my sandwich wouldn't even stay together! I had to use a napkin and wipe it off! Literally so much. I should have just ordered bread w/ dressing because that's basically what I got. All in all a waste of $18. I will not go back. This place is a joke. *****What happened to my sister last week******* Goes in orders sandwiches w/ friend, leaves, opens sandwiches in car and notices it's not what they order. They take them back in and tell the girl at the register they gave them the wrong order. This is what she does, Grabs bag, unwrapped the sandwiches, RE WRAPS them right in front of my sister, her friend, and another customer, and yells out the other customers order. The other customer was not happy to say the least and asked for her money back, the girl says sorry I'll make you another sandwiches, the lady was so upset she said no and got her money back a left. Were was my sisters sandwich? Randomly sitting in the back. If I were any of you reading this review looking for a good sandwich shop to eat, don't waste your time here, 2 seconds down the road is Local Deli were bigger, better sandwiches are made for the same price, or if you don't mind driving go to the Lancaster San Fran. Different owners, BETTER sandwiches and your shirt won't be covered in Pepsi when you leave. read more

Hmmm hardly any meat and it was too thickly sliced for my liking. The side salad was great minus the rotten pieces of lettuce in it. The tea dispenser may have been overdue for a cleaning it tasted sour. We will not return. read more

Great crunchy chewy bread. Just the way I like it. I had a club and my wife had a Ruben. Mine was really good, but the meat was a little sparse on the Ruben. We'd probably eat here again. read more

The young man with kinda long brown hair that's working there today is so friendly and efficient! Very kind and my food is perfect. He's the best you guys have had in forever! Thanks for being good at your job. read more

Food was good. Pretty sure dude who is the manager just has a lackluster attitude and goes out of his way to act like an arse. However the food was good. read more

This location is not good. I've eaten at the Lancaster store and CDA location and they are good but the food quality at this Rathdrum location sucks! Veggies are not fresh, meatballs were dried up, and bread was over heated too dry read more

Food is good. However I stopped in for a quick bite to eat and didn't get my sandwich for 45 minutes.

It took an hour from the time I stood in line, until the time I got our food. I ordered to go, took the bag and drove 5 miles home. When I got home, my Italian sandwich had NO MEAT. It was literally some sauce, a few lettuce shreads and one slice of tomato. Will not be going back. read more

A great sandwich, I love Sourdough bread and this will make you wanting more. There are several of these in North Idaho and all of them have met my expectations. The signature sandwiches are great and if you go to one with Breakfast it is the bomb, great flavor with egg and ham. read more

San Francisco Sourdough Eatery - Inside the 76 Convenience Store - Sandwiches Near Me - Rathdrum, Idaho

Nice atmosphere to the side of a gas station mini-market, fast food style. I went to the Rathdrum location for this small Pacific Northwest restaurant chain yesterday after church. This is not the first time I've stopped at a San Francisco Sourdough Eatery. I return mainly for the bread and soup. Each time I ordered broccoli-cheddar soup which comes with a bit of warm bread. Delicious! I've also ordered sandwiches. The main attraction is the bread. I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and the delicious San Francisco sourdough french bread was part of our special Saturday evening meals. Ever since then I've searched for that unique sourdough french bread flavor and been utterly disappointed many, many times. However this chain of restaurants differs in that it was started by a member of the family that provided San Francisco with the best french bread ever. He used his family's recipe to gift the Coeur d'Alene area with this amazing sourdough, and the popularity of his restaurants spread... there are now many locations. I learned that from one of the restaurant cooks. I wish the restaurants were more upscale and less fast-foodish - that's my only complaint. Some nice cuisine alongside this bread would be great. Fortunately I can buy the bread to take home, where I can feast on it for days. The price is reasonable. read more

Fresh bread and great sandwiches! Friendly staff and Always good service. The drive through moves pretty fast.

They are making a sandwich not hard they tell me all the time 20-30 minute wait and it only takes ten min for them to make it they just don't want to work they try to turn you away by saying that read more

Love this place. Was there on Saturday Sept 21st about 5pm, 3 people ahead of us, Young lady who waited on us and made our sandwiches was very pleasant, even tho she was working all alone and had make6 . This place needs two workers. read more

Omg...this place has the BEST sub Sammie's EVER! My husband and I are sandwich freaks and when we moved to Rathdrum two months ago we found this place and it is awesome! Great food, bread and service. The guys behind the counter making your Sammie are not only kind and professional...they flat out know what they are doing! I had the #4 sourdough Sammie which had ham, turkey and roast beef in addition to Swiss cheese, mayo, Dijon mustard, lettuce, tomato onion and came with a dill pickle. You can order your sub any way you want it and in three sizes but "Loaded" is always my choice. They even have a drive through and homemade chocolate chip cookies. Oh, you can even get a loaf of their fabulous sourdough bread either baked or unbaked to take home. I'm telling you folks...you have to check out this place. They even serve breakfast subs. Considering that Rathdrum is a small city, we are lucky to have them here. read more

They had a bit of a consistency issues a couple years back. Now, awesome every time I stop in! Bread is always fresh and delicious, meat is always fresh l, produce always crisp and fresh. Staff and owner very pleasant and welcoming. Great place to stop for great food! read more

Eh. The sandwiches were ok. Enough to fill you up but nothing to write home about. The soups never seem to be a normal mainstream choice so that's been pretty disappointing. It's my second time in and I probably won't be back for a while. read more

A solid breakfast sandwich with egg and bacon. It was cooked well with fresh sourdough. The bread overtook the sandwich a bit, however.

Soooo good, they have the best sandwiches, breakfast and lunch. We come up to Spirit Lake every summer to visit family and always stop here two or three times. I forgot the guy's name there but he's very friendly and makes great sandwiches. read more

We have been coming here since they opened and then we moved away, but always have to come here whenever we come back to visit. It did not disappoint! We love these sandwiches! On warm sourdough bread...doesn't get any better than that! I recommend that you eat it there so that the bread is still warm. Yummmmmm!!! read more

yep still sitting in the drive through after 20 minutes. one of our friends went inside to look. absolutely no other customers. we got ONE sandwich. multiple workers have come and seen us and not said anything to us. Absolutely horrendous. don't waste your time. I just went inside. Got the wrong size. not going to go back and waste even more time or money on this place. RIDICULOUS :) read more

Awesome sandwiches. Eat here all the time. They have really good olives also, not the cheap ones like others use.
