Not a good experience. I had such high hopes and I really wanted to like this place but it wasn't good. The price is $20 for a large sandwich which is expensive even by San Francisco standards. The wait to get the sandwich was way too long. They messed up one of my co-workers orders. They corrected the mistake but that took even more time. I ordered the Angry Chicken and the grilled chicken had way too much char and the burnt flavor dominated the whole sandwich. I can't think of a single thing that I liked about this place. Management needs to re-evaluate things if they want to stay in business. read more

I ordered from this spot through Postmates and was impressed that my food arrived in under 30 minutes. I tried both the Monkey Business and the Monkey's Uncle subs, and they were both loaded and flavorful. Personally, I liked the Monkey's Uncle a little more, but honestly you can't go wrong with either. A nice perk is that when you order the Monkey Business on Postmates, it comes with a buy-one-get-one-free deal! Definitely a great value add. The only downside, and the reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5, is the pricing. At around $20 for a medium-sized sub, it feels a bit steep for what you get. If the portions were a little larger, the price would feel more justified. Overall, tasty subs and fast delivery. I'd order again, but I do think the portion-to-price ratio could be improved. read more

So like when did subs start costing $21.67? It's not like this is some fancy carvery where they smoke pastrami in-house and slice large chunks to order. It's just your typical offering of deli meats and cheeses and along with some chicken (grilled or breaded). Tastes alright, about what you'd expect in a sub, but seems a bit overpriced. King Louie on Sweet: I asked for a recommendation of what's popular and was steered in this direction. It seemed to be cordon bleu inspired with breaded chicken, ham and swiss cheese. Though the breaded chicken was kinda weird, seemed like diced chicken tenders that occasionally had some gristle... whole cutlets would have been better. While it looked big, it actually didn't seem overly meaty, with the lettuce giving it a lot of the height. It was decent, but not anything I'd insist all my colleagues try. Italian Jungle on Sourdough: The Italian is usually my go to by default since I like the variety of meats and it's more exciting than the typical turkey, ham and roast beef cold cuts. This one was $19.95 and not $21.67; I suspect they didn't charge tax since it wasn't toasted. The meat and veggie combo was nice with mortadella (bougie bologna), prosciutto (bougie ham) and some other nice Italian meats. It actually felt more substantive than the King Louie, since those Italian meats with the provolone are richer than chicken tender bits. Main complaint though is that it was too bready. It was indeed a nice sourdough, but very thick and very chewy. I kinda felt like a chipmunk with filled cheeks just chewing and chewing and chewing. Brass Monkey on Wheat: This one was $21.67. It's a weird name for a pretty basic meatball sub. It was a tad dry. I totally get that you don't want the other extreme of so much sauce that the bread gets soggy and falls apart, but I feel there was a lot of latitude here to add more sauce than just the light spread. The meatballs were alright, the squishy kind, not the homemade crumbly kind. Had provolone by default, but might have been better with stringy mozzarella. Also, the wheat tasted weirdly a little sweet. read more

I happen to walk in because they put a sign out on the sidewalk and I'm always looking for new places to eat since I work down the street. Everything was fine. My order took a little long and it didn't seem crowded at all, but they did offer me free chips or a drink to compensate. Sandwich was delicious and I did enjoy it and I'm happy to have a place nearby to go to for lunch. read more

Found a sandwich shop within steps from my workplace. Their Mango Sweets Tea is delicious. Decent sandwiches and fairly priced. Falls in the Togos class of sandwich shops. Got an Angry Chicken on Dutch Crunch Roll. My only complaint is roll had no crunch and the combo price is set slightly above other sandwich shops. Staff is actively busy even when the crowds are slow which shows me they care about the business. If I find myself not in the mood for a sandwich, I will definitely swing by to buy a Mango Sweet Tea. read more

Sandwich Monkey - Angry Chicken on Dutch Crunch - Sandwiches Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came here on a whim after having an appointment nearby. There's a *huge* range of options for everyone, including vegetarian and vegan. I picked out the Goodall (hold the pepperocinis) on a dutch crunch bun. Service was quick and my sandwich was brought out to me. There's lots of seating both inside and outside, and it's a pretty nice area. Wasn't too busy even though it was around lunch time. My sandwich was absolutely delicious, albeit very messy! Fortunately there's napkins at all the tables and I didn't have to keep getting up to grab more. Price is pretty good for the amount of food, and I left feeling well-fed and happy with the quality of sandwich. I'm not in this area often but whenever I am, I'm going to try to stop in here for lunch! read more

Good sized sandwich for the price point. Not sure if I'd pay $21 for a large sized. Service was very good! Gave solid recommendations and greeted as soon as I entered. Would for sure go back. Got the Italian jungle sandwich. Would get again as well but probably won't since there are so many solid looking options. read more

Fresh, fast, and full of flavor--Sandwich Monkey is my new go-to sandwich spot in San Francisco! Tucked into a clean and modern space, this place is all about quality ingredients, affordable prices, and plenty of options. The sandwich I had was stacked with fresh veggies, tender meat, and nestled in soft, hearty oat wheat bread--just one of several tasty bread choices they offer. What really impressed me was the attention to freshness. Every bite tasted crisp and clean, like it was made just for me (because it was!). The menu is straightforward but full of flavor combinations that will please any kind of sandwich lover. Plus, the drink and snack selection rounds out a perfect quick lunch. The vibe inside is casual and welcoming, with plenty of room to dine in or grab and go. The staff was friendly, efficient, and clearly takes pride in what they do. Bonus points for how tidy and well-organized everything is--from the prep counter to the seating area. If you're in SF and need a reliable, delicious, and budget-friendly sandwich spot, Sandwich Monkey is the move. Will definitely be back! read more

Under staffed, expensive and somewhat clean. Got the veggie sandwich, it was decent but I'd only go again if nothing around was open. If possible order your sandwich ahead of time to beat the crowd gets crazy busy around 12pm read more

Good sandwich spot in downtown SF. A bit pricey for just a sandwich but what do you expect from another lunch only spot downtown. Service is great and plenty of seating inside. read more

I'm telling you there's something about stumbling upon a place that's is just magical. I don't know if it's because the staff here was so effing friendly, from the recommendation as to what to order, to even suggesting I get extra veggies on this particular sandwich (which happened to be the number five if I remember correctly) the tuna melt. But that I took it to go and ate it at home (since I had to wait seeing that I had just been to the dentist! I think it's like swimming you gotta wait an hour or something??) Anyway, the sandwich was fantastic and I love the name of this place. note to owners- your staff is fantastic. Whoever you have working on Tuesday, October 29 at around 2 o'clock, 230 keep them they are assets! read more

Omg! Same owners as Penelope's which is delicious! I would have gave them a 5 but they messed up a bit on my sandwich. It's similar to Mr.Pickles if you've ever had that. Great place and the workers are incredibly nice and even with a line super friendly and helpful in suggesting menu items. read more

Best sandwich I've had in a really long time! Cool vibe. Building not gonna blow you away. Great sandwiches though.

Great sandwich. Best sourdough roll. And not because they offered free food for the training day. Nice people great sandwiches!

Good Service and Clean establishment, but you guys gotta put more meat. There was only one or two thin slices on the number 7 with a HUGE helping of bread. Just kinda felt like I was mostly eating dry bread :( read more
