This restaurant is located at Southcoast plaza next to Macy's. Super cute and quaint restaurant, very clean, and friendly staff. My friend and I tried nearly everything on the Happy Hour menu. They were all delcious but the classic grilled cheese with tomato soup was soooo comforting. Also had the lavender blueberry drink which was great. Overall a really great place to grab lunch. Will come by again! read more

I'm thankful for trying this place during happy hour because the food here was delicious and the service was great. We have decided to buy some items on the happy hour menu and wow they are tasty. I would 100% recommend the korean chicken tenders due to the seasoning/sauce. I would also recommend the pineapple ginger tonic because its so refreshing and gives that zing taste in a good way. I prefer the burger over the chicken sandwich but I got to say, they both are the type to drop sauce every bite if you like them that way. Overall, I enjoy the vibe and food from this place. 5/5 stars I would come again. single single and rosemary fries 3.5/5 pineapple ginger tontic 4/5 korean chicken tenders 4.5/5 spicy crispy crunchy chicken 3/5 read more

Loved this spot since it opened in South Coast Plaza. Not sure if I caught them on a bad day but seems like they've watered down some of their menu items. The Meddock Melee sandwich used to come on this great artisan squaw bread that resembled a square ciabatta bread. It had great bite and crispy corners that added texture. Now it comes on a much flimsier roll similar to the 'Cheesecake Factory' brown bread they sell in the grocery aisle. Sliced turkey also feels like a lower quality cut. It used to have texture and now it tastes like thin sliced /water infused prepackaged grocery turkey. Rosemary fries used to be slightly thicker, super crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Now they're a lower quality shoe string fry that's on the dry side. Maybe they're between suppliers? But if these are cost cutting measures, the difference is very much palpable. read more

Sessions West Coast Deli - Meddock Melee and Rosemary fries - Sandwiches Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I stopped by Sessions West Coast Deli inside Macy's at South Coast Plaza during a recent shopping trip in Costa Mesa, and it quickly became my new go-to spot in the mall. Has that perfect laid-back California surf vibe without feeling stuffy. It's ideal for a quick lunch or even a happy hour wind-down while you're at the Plaza. The service was fast, friendly, and efficient -- exactly what you want when you're on a shopping schedule. Staff were helpful with menu recommendations, and everything came out fresh and hot. I loved that they handle the busy crowd smoothly with good counter service and dine-in options. read more

Delicious, fresh, quick service, fun atmosphere. Sessions is a great spot to stop in for lunch - we tried their fries and tuna melt and were blown away with the quality and freshness/flavor. Sign up for their text messages and receive $10 off your first order! read more

If you're shopping at South Coast Plaza, Sessions West Coast Deli is a great spot to stop for a meal. You can enter through Macy's or from the outside, which makes it convenient either way. Based on what other reviews mention, it's not necessarily a quick stop, but it's a good meal that's worth the time. (I usually order ahead, and the wait time tends to be around 15 minutes). My favorites are the Meddock Melee, the Spicy Crispy Chicken, and the Thai Chop Salad. Definitely a solid option when you need a break from shopping. read more

The food is amazing!! And Wes is impressive- he's very bright and cheery and connects well with the customers!

Good quick lunch spot in south coast that won't break the bank. Meatball sub came with dipping sauce and half salad/sandwich and soup combo was pretty generous. About $50 fo two people. Casual vibe. Full bar. Some TVs. Indoor an outdoor seating. Order at counter and they bring out your food. Cute and modern vibes. Wished they had more soup offerings beyond tomato and broccoli cheddar read more

Sessions West Coast Deli - Lunch for two under 50 - Sandwiches Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

We were at the mall yesterday so stopped by Sessions West Coast Deli for a quick bite. I got my favorite dish: Thai chicken salad. They changed the recipe a bit and do the roast chicken now instead of grilled chicken for the salad. It was still good. I like it that Sessions use the nice and better mixed greens instead of just the plain lettuce. Hubby had the burger and he liked it. Stepped out for a few minutes while waiting for the kitchen to prepare our foods. When I saw my salad on the table and came back in, his burger was gone! Yes, it disappeared in no time. :) read more

Ordered takeout so cannot comment on service or ambience. This was my first time trying Sessions and I enjoyed my sandwich. The Greatfella ($15) was extremely good and packed with ham with a juicy vinaigrette. I also got the seasonal Nana's chicken noodle ($6) -- the presentation alone makes it worth it. The radish was a nice touch and complimented the chicken flavor of the soup. Overall, I would order again if I was in the mood for a sandwich. read more

Today we stopped off at Sessions West Coast Deli for a late lunch or early dinner. They have a select number of sandwiches and burgers. We had French fries, a cheese burger with avocado on brioche, and a margarita flatbread pizza. The poblano soup was also delicious. It reminded me of a tortilla soup. They had limited seating and bottled/canned drinks. It was quick and reasonably priced. It was located just outside of the Southcoast plaza. The service was helpful and not overly friendly. It had a kind of a modern vibe to it for a fast food place. read more

I love Sessions ! The meddock melee always hits the spot, they add herbs to their fries and it's delicious. They bring your food out directly to you and it's a very causal setting It's cute for if you're feeling a sandwich that feels fresh and located in south coast and very convenient. You can get your steps in or shop after ! read more

*Chicken plobano soup discontinued* The dine-in experience has been remarkable each visit. I love the music and the atmosphere. However, service has fluctuated due to recent hiring. I love the ladies who work in the morning who have been here since the start! All my concerns have been addressed to management, who has performed admirably during this holiday season. Overall, the business is thriving. $6 for small tomato soup as a snack, worth it!! This spot is a go to, stop by bring your family and friends! The owner's occasional presence is a testament to the establishment's success, thank you for the reply Happy holidays I will be stopping by Irvine location! read more

Pretty convenient location. Similar in menu to other locales but maybe a bit cooler a vibe rather than an afternoon sandwich shop. Enjoyed their tuna melt, which is seemingly a staple at any of the branches you go to but maybe not quite as toasty or flavorful as the other locales. Also grabbed the flatbread special which was a lot of empty flatbread and not the most interesting combination of flavors, so wouldn't have gotten that again. Sitting at the bar waiting for the food was a nice experience, staff was friendly. read more

Reviews didn't disappoint! Had a lovely Mother's Day lunch outside with great food and service. My husband and I shared the Perfect Burger, rosemary fries and the wedge legend salad. The burger was delicious as were the fries. This restaurant offers a variety of signature sauces to fit with the different food selections. My daughter and her husband had the Greatfella, which as also super tasty and the bread was perfectly toasted. The service was also EXCELLENT. We were attended to frequently and got help with food selections. We were visiting from San Diego and I would absolutely come back again if near one of the Sessions West Coast Delis. read more

Honestly pretty unassuming place but the food is bomb!! We wanted something light and this is the place for that. They have really tasty sandwiches and their fries are nice and crispy. They were a bit busy, but it was lunch time. Will definitely get back to try more sandwiches. read more

Was in town for a work trip and my friend ordered us food from here. She picked it up for us so I didn't get to see the store or anything, but dang this place has some delicious sandwiches. I ordered the Yogi sandwich and I really really liked it! The basil pesto sauce was delish with it. I do wish the chicken was a little more tender, but it was still pretty good! The sandwich by itself was almost $15, which to me is a little wild for a sandwich, but I get it. Definitely wish this place existed in Vegas because it was *chefs kiss*. read more

Got the Tuna Melt - had high hopes based on the pictures and description. It was ok - but definitely was not worth $19. It had a sugary sweet taste to it and I wasn't a fan / wouldn't order it again. Bread and the cheese on the sandwich were delicious and the vibe /decor in the restaurant was awesome. I'd try one of their spicy sandwiches if I go back. read more

Sessions West Coast Deli - Big Tuna Melt - Sandwiches Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

We came here based off of all the good reviews and also it is less than 5 minutes from our home. This place is very clean and has a nice aesthetic This is a counter style restaurant where you pay and tip before getting any service or getting to see the food, which makes sense for a place that's super busy -- however there was quite literally zero people in the place at dinner time (7pm) Counter person was also the bartender : they were pretty apathetic, but answered our questions politely. I got the spicy chicken sandwich : the bread was stale and dry, I left more than half of the bread on the plate. The chicken was really flat and over cooked, but it did have a lovely flavor. The slaw was decent. NOT spicy in any way shape or form -- 4/10 My husband got the bacon western cheeseburger : again the bread was stale and dry. The beef was flattened, dry and way over cooked, there was barely any bbq sauce or honestly any flavor at all. -- 4/10 None of their sandwiches or burgers come with a side We ordered a Large Fry to share: large Rosemary French Fries. These were decently tasty and had a really nice crunch/flavor. Fries were not served with any kind of dipping sauce read more

We have been to many of their locations and they are excellent. This is definitely bigger and has more on the retail side. Great place to watch a game and eat good food. Tried the rocky balboa pizza. It was good but it's too sweet. Needs more protein. The kids had a burger and grilled cheese and they were both excellent. Always get the fries. Service was good read more

The sandwiches here are next level and so is the service. Wes, who was one of the managers onsite today, so clearly has a passion for what he does. Great people are always such a big part of the experience! read more

When this business pays the employees more, I will give them five stars. I wish we could great employees because I would've given them five stars, but the place of business I would have four stars. The sandwiches are pretty good and the food quality is pretty consistent they also have vegetarian options Quite a few actually. read more

Sessions West Coast Deli - Tuna melt and fries - Sandwiches Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Decided to try Sessions on a Friday night. Pulled up around 8:15 p.m. (they close at 9) and had to ask if they were even open no one greeted us, and the place was completely dead, which should've been my first red flag. Eventually, someone took our order at the counter. I got the Single Single (quarter-pound patty with American cheese, caramelized onions, dill pickle on a potato bun), a large fries, and a beer beach snack. My wife ordered a tuna melt and a beer. The total came to just over $50, mostly because they automatically suggest a 20% tip which feels ridiculous when you're ordering at a counter and your food comes in to-go containers you have to throw out yourself. That's not table service. As for the food... the burger was disappointing. Tasted like they dumped too much garlic powder on it. I was expecting a simple, classic American burger, but it just wasn't good. They come off like a wannabe Shake Shack, but without the flavor or quality. The only reason I'm giving two stars instead of one is because they had the Dodger game on. For $50, I expected a much better meal. Next time, I'll stick with In-N-Out, The Habit, or Islands they do burgers right IMO. read more

They have very delicious food my favorite is the Gringo Burrito!! The employee Hennessy was very Polite, helpful, and friendly. read more

So this is my second week coming to this location. I do physical therapy close by and wanted to reward myself with a delicious salad. The first salad I got was the crab-apple salad which I got to go and noticed it was missing the cheese. The salad did not taste the same without it but ok not a big deal. Today I went and decided I would buy two salads to go (one to eat once home and second one later) . I don't live locally so after my 45 min commute home, I sat down opened the bag and to my extreme extreme disappointment I was given two salads with no dressings. Heart broken i am left with zero dressing and none at home to make do . I am very disappointed yet again . I called and the lady was super nice but I'm still let down after my second visit ....'moral is open the stapled to go bag and physically check that all items and ingredients are included before you leave .... read more

Sessions West Coast Deli - My receipt - Sandwiches Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

My son and I were craving a good burger and this place popped up on Yelp. It was a little pricey but the food was good. Problem was when I discovered the place got shut down later the same day for a rodent infestation. We can never go back here knowing they let it get that bad, and that rodents could have been interacting with our food! read more

I ordered the Meddock Melee; it was delicious! I ordered over the phone. That was easy and convenient since I had a limited amount of time. The staff was very friendly when I arrived. A new employee was being trained; I was impressed with how the experienced employee was explaining everything step by step. read more

Finally made it here. Had a seasonal special, the Tokyo Toast which was a sandwich with eggplant and it's really good! They also have a $5 bucket of beer and I grabbed one from it and it was solid. Fries were recommended and I had them, they're super crunchy. Not a lot of flavor, so had them with a lot of ketchup but they are super crunchy. read more

Food is good but the service!!!. Took 30 min to get a grilled cheese sandwich.... Really!!! The manager does not care less... she's just full of excuses!!! read more

Stopped since in the area. Best decision! Outside the mall so easy walk from parking lot, with trendy interior. Order at counter and they bring your food. Can I say I had the best sandwich, the meddock melle, with so much flavor and not your typical toppings on toasted squaw. Simply amazing, so now I need to bring the family and try the other items, but I'm hooked! read more

Sessions West Coast Deli - Meddock Melle - Sandwiches Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

This place is pretty disappointing and not worth it, I work nearby and have come here on separate occasions to try different menu items, and was not pleased each time. First time I got the "single" burger which comes with no side or drink by the way, and was about 11 bucks. Bun was stale, patty EXTREMELY overcooked, and the cheese was simply what seemed like a slice of cheese from a package, on top of the patty, barely melted. You are better of going to in in out, where you get much better value and quality. On other occasions I got one of the sandwiches, which was pretty decent, but nothing to write home about. You are much better off going to board and brew, which crushes the sandwiches here and is right down the road in Costa mesa. Only redeemable thing was the service, the person who took my order was very nice and helpful, as was the rest of the staff. Bummer because this is a great central location for people working nearby.If i had to guess, Ownership/management is lacking at Sessions. read more

Not vegan friendly. Little to no options without modifications and sacrifices. Get with the times

This deli is so good! I personally really love their trio combo. It comes with a soup, salad and a sandwich of your choice. For about $18 bucks or so.. If you'd like, you can switch out your salad for some rosemary chips or upgrade for $0.60 to French fries! And let me tell you. The CRISP of those fries! The soup has croutons and cheese on top. Delicious. This is a good place for lunch time. The employees have been friendly all 3 times I have been there. They have outside and inside seating. If you keep walking inside the deli, you can see they have a lot more indoor seating. And since it's winter, that's perfect. They don't have hot drinks. But they do have some local fizzy drinks, and regular soda cans; water etc. read more

I love a great sandwich. This place has some great sandwiches. I get the Big Tuna Melt, it is delicious and has a very healthy serving of tuna. I can never finish the whole sandwich. This last visit Spencer got The Meddock Melee, also a huge, delicious sandwich. Cooper had the Morning Zephyr breakfast sandwich, very tasty but not a huge sandwich like the others. Make sure to get the fries with rosemary, so good that you don't need ketchup. The service is fantastic. You order at the counter first and they give you a number for the table. Your food will be out promptly. The restaurant and bathrooms are clean and well kept. A great place to get lunch while at the mall. read more
