I heard they're going to start serving beer and wine soon as well! *Best 1st-timer options*: The Keeper (if you like it spicy) or the L.G.B.T. My favorite hot sandwiches are the Cali Cubano, B3, and The Keeper, while my favorite cold sandwiches are the Avocado Highway, L.G.B.T. (lettuce, gouda, bacon, tomato), and Caprese. My favorite salads are the Grapevine and Duck Cranberry. For sides I recommend the potato salad and tomato basil bisque. The aioli they use is to die for -- can't hurt to get a side of it with any sandwich! The restaurant is situated on the corner of Park Blvd. and Polk Ave. (more generally, it's on the strip of Park Blvd. between University Ave. and El Cajon Blvd.). There is usually a good amount of parking on Park Blvd. and Polk Ave., which is nice. The space has a simple-yet-tasteful modern design and interior, is always clean, with friendly and helpful staff. Great for lunch hour or a weekend date. Update: Came back today with my friend and we ordered the B3 and the Turkey & Cheddar Mousse sandwiches, plus sides of potato salad and cucumber salad, and a double chocolate cookie with pistachio and sea salt. Everything was really good, but the Turkey & Cheddar Mousse sandwich was the star of the show. The cookie was great too. We both agreed the potato salad could use some salt, but besides that it was a solid meal all around.

Big Front Door has quickly become a new favorite for sandwiches, and visiting two days in a row…read moremade that very clear. On the first visit, Zack provided exceptional care and attention while helping navigate food allergies. Zack took the time to carefully check ingredients, double-check preparations, and personally come back out to verify everything to ensure safety. That level of care made the experience feel genuinely welcoming and stress-free. The chicken sandwich was fresh, satisfying, and thoughtfully balanced. Juicy chicken, ripe tomatoes, creamy avocado, and a bright splash of oil and vinegar came together beautifully on Big Front Door's roll, which had a great texture and held everything together well. The flavors were clean and vibrant. A little extra salt would have pushed it over the top for a salt-lover, but that came down to personal preference rather than any shortcoming. A dining companion ordered the avocado sandwich and could not stop raving about it, praising both the flavor and the freshness. The outdoor seating area deserves special mention. The shaded space was perfect as I do have sun allergies, especially for anyone who prefers relief from direct sun. The care taken in food preparation added an extra layer of comfort and trust. The second visit somehow raised the bar even higher. Micah went above and beyond to accommodate physical ability needs with patience, attentiveness, and genuine kindness. That effort did not go unnoticed and made the experience feel deeply respectful and inclusive. The roasted chicken sandwich ordered on the second visit was phenomenal. The roasted chicken was tender, savory, and full of depth, elevating the sandwich even further. Adding a bit of extra salt brought all the ingredients into perfect harmony, making every bite more satisfying than the last. This sandwich has officially earned a spot as a new favorite sandwich. Big Front Door was amazing not just for delicious, thoughtfully prepared food, but for the people who work there. Zack and Micah created an environment where care, kindness, and respect were clearly prioritized. No moment felt rushed, dismissive, or uncomfortable. At no point did anyone make the experience feel like a burden or inconvenience. A sincere thank-you also goes to the team members who prepared the food. Even without knowing names, the care taken to keep guests safer while serving delicious nourishment was evident and deeply appreciated. Big Front Door comes highly recommended for the flavorful sandwiches, the shaded outdoor space, the welcoming atmosphere, outstanding customer service, and the genuine kindness shown at every action.

I hate to leave a bad review for Swami's because I would frequent the Swami's in Oceanside when I…read morelived there, but my experience here was abysmal! Truly terrible! I use a 3-strike rule when I go out because having worked in food service I understand stuff happens, but this was not just a one-off. Firstly, the man that took our order was rude, there wasn't anyone behind us waiting to order and the cashier spoke SO fast and cut me off multiple times. I felt rushed but whatever. I ordered the stuffed French toast and added bacon, eggs, and hash-browns with a latte, my fiance got the chicken fried steak with scrambled eggs and black coffee. The latte was really good, and the hot coffee was great according to my fiancé. We waited close to 45 minutes for our food, they were busy obviously, as it was a Sunday morning, but we watched a few other couples get their food before ours. We got everything we ordered except my eggs and bacon, which the food runner said would be "right out". While I waited I ate half of my hashbrowns, which were lukewarm, I wanted to eat my eggs with the hashbrowns so I waited. I ended up waiting 10 minutes before I got up to ask an employee to check on my food, as I received only half of what I ordered and had been waiting so long. He went back and brought my eggs and bacon, but go figure, the food wasn't hot! None of what I ordered was hot, so clearly the food had been sitting. You would think after waiting so long for your food it would've been fresh. Lastly, there were pieces of egg shell sprinkled across my stuffed French toast. How does that even happen unless they were cracking eggs near my food or had egg shells allover their hands. The stuffed French toast was good after I picked out all of the egg shells, and I couldn't finish all of it, so I asked an employee who was restocking glasses where I could get a to-go box. He told me to ask the cashier 6 feet away, and that the boxes are behind him, but the cashier had a line to the door so obviously I didn't want to bother him. I ended waiting until the guy was restocking glasses directly in front of the to-go boxes and he got me one. All in all, terrible customer service, lukewarm food, long wait, and very much not worth the $75, and I wish we could take our tip back, that you pay BEFORE receiving any service.

I opted for the rice bowl. The katsu itself was fresh and perfectly cooked and I loved the sauce! I love seasoned cucumbers so those were great as well. I love kimchi but I'm not a huge fan of kale so I do with it were cabbage. The slaw also wasn't my favorite on the rice bowl, but it was a great touch on the sandwich!

I went with a godfather sandwich and the first thing I noticed is that the sandwich is absolutely stuffed. They are not shy about putting meat in here which I appreciate as sometimes sandwich spots give a less than desirable amount. I was also surprised at how good the Dutch crunch I chose tasted (it had a slight chew but was also fluffy at the same time). It definitely wasn't the cheapest sandwich (after tax it was around 19 bucks) but based on the ingredients and amount of meat I'd say it's fair value!
