What else can I say. South coast deli is always good. Delicuous huge made to order sandwiches and salads at a great price. I love that their special during the sandwich week is the same size as their regular sandwiches. Some places only give you half size, which isn't a discount or special at all. read more

South Coast Deli-Goleta - The summer abroad: roast pork loin, kale, artichoke, roasted red pepper, onion, pecorino, and garlic dressing. $9 during sandwich week. - Delis Near Me - Goleta, California

Okay take two...adding a bit to my review specifically for Goleta, tiny but mighty location and a must stop for us. Enjoyed the Romaine & Gorgonzola salad from Patterson with the hubs at our Gaviota Beach camp. Staff were super kind since we popped in just before closing *previously posted to the San Roque local* Oh my gosh! Have been to two locations (Santa Barbara and Goleta) in the past few months while traveling to the Central Coast and this is now much stop for us! Love love love that they offer gluten-free bread for the sandwiches. The sandwiches and salads are super sized...big enough to share. read more

Love their south coast veggie sandwich. Their vegan eggplant sandwich was alright - too heavy and oily read more

South Coast Deli-Goleta - Chicken Caesar Sammie - Delis Near Me - Goleta, California

Incredible breakfast and lunch sandwiches at reasonable prices! My go-to breakfast item is their steak & eggs sandwich. Very generous portions of tri-tip, eggs cooked your way, and their delicious chipotle mayo. They also add their own salsa on the side that helps freshen up the sandwich my adding different fresh flavors. My go-to lunch sandwich is their chicken chipotle club. Great portions of bacon, chicken, ham, and veggies paired with their chipotle mayo. Service is always super nice and makes it easy to order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place with great people![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

They do not play around with the portions here. Everything is huge and shareable - the salad was enough for the whole family. Love the hearts of palm added to the salad. The sandwich was delicious - heavy on the veggies. I like their homemade mayo sauces, really great! Recommend here coming for lunch, fast service as well. read more

Great reliable sandwich staple for the Santa Barbara area. Big portions and quality ingredients. They don't skimp on ingredients and everything is fresh. Order for take out or eat there, but I recommend ordering online to beat the line especially for a weekday lunch rush. I've had a lot of sandwiches over the years included the Marin, Chicken and Pesto, Meatball Sandwich, Roastbeef Hottie, and Caprese but I think the stand out is the When In Rome. Succulent chicken with pesto, fresh arugula, and lemon mayo on an italian roll. The lemon is really what makes it. This will be my new go-to. They also have great breakfast sandwiches. The eggs are really fluffy and delicious. I enjoy the Dar's Breakfast Sammie and the Steak & Eggs. The tri tip could definitely be more tender but it's decent quality for a sandwich place. My only disappointment is that they no longer have a deli counter. I loved their pasta salads, especially the one will shrimp. I wish it would return. read more

I ate at South Coast deli while working in the area. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance is very casual[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], employees were very friendly and assisted me in choosing the buffalo chicken Sammie, it was so flavorful I returned multiple days while in the area. read more

If you're looking for a variety of quality sandwiches and salads look no further than South Coast Deli. With multiple locations in the Santa Barbara and Goleta area, you have many options as far as locations go. The closest one to me is the one on Patterson in Goleta. The staff is always friendly and the orders come out quick. Personally, I usually get the turkey with bacon or the Cajun turkey but have ventured out of my regulars. Every sandwich and salad I've ever had from any location has always hit the spot and is consistently made the same. I'd recommend trying a couple that look like they'd be something you would enjoy but you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. The locations all have Axxess card deals so that's something to remember before going in because the WiFi, at least at the Patterson location, isn't always great. Just open up the app before you go inside. That being said South Coast Deli is a classic Santa Barbara sandwich shop and fan favorite of the loca read more

South Coast Deli is a gem tucked away in a little strip shopping center! We really enjoyed all three of our sandwiches. The portion sizes were (very) generous and the ingredients were high quality - we appreciated that they had a gluten-free bread option that held together The food came out very quickly despite being fairly busy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We ate outside but there was plenty of seating inside as well.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everyone was very friendly. We would definitely go back! read more

South Coast Deli never disappoints. I've tried several of their sandwiches, and each one has a unique flavor profile that hits the spot no matter what you're craving. Most recently, I had the Chicken Chipotle Club, and it was on point. The chicken slices were tender and juicy. The chipotle sauce had just the right kick without being too much, and the fresh, crisp lettuce balanced it out nicely. The bread did its job - held the sandwich together without falling apart, which I appreciated given how packed it was. These sandwiches are perfect for a picnic at a local winery or a quick work lunch - always fresh, filling, and full of flavor. Whether I'm in the mood for something hearty, spicy, or light, South Coast Deli always comes through. read more

OMG - Tri-Tip AS IS! Light chipots mayo. Bread is HOF level. Meat could be is smaller pieces for better tear-ability - only crack. Will recommend to anyone driving through- easy off 101 fwy. Couldn't take a picture because it was gone in 2 minutes. Delicious. read more

New vegan chicken is killer. On the vegan Nom Nom (Bahn Mi). It is So Good. Super fast. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options.

I get why people call this the best sandwich/salad store in town! I just moved to Goleta, and so I was looking for small businesses to try and support as I get to know the area. This was in between some thrift stores I was trying to check out, so I decided to stop for lunch. [[HIGHLIGHT]]As many other reviewers have noted, it is a very busy spot and the parking spaces right in front are mostly only for 20-minutes, so keep that in mind.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's a line for people who need to order and those who have already ordered online/otp for pick up. I ordered the Chicken & Pesto. It came out about ~5 minutes after I ordered it. It was warm, a great size, and filling. I will be back! read more

Best salads I've ever had from a restaurant came from this place. They load you UP and aren't shy with the protein. They care about my gainz. Customer service is subpar tho read more

The short young man is so rude and nasty. This used to be my favorite location. Shout out to Paris she is the best and always so polite.

Great sandwich spot! Recommend 10/10. Service was amazing as they helped us with personal selection that were on menu.

I ordered my food through DoorDash. It was fast convenient. Especially since I was busy and didn't want to leave work to pick it up. Ordering process was simple and easy for anyone. No for what matters. The food was delicious. I wasn't sure if I could finish my Sammy. I posted a 16.9oz water bottle for size reference. My new favorite sandwich spot for sure. Definitely coming back to try out the rest. lol read more

First time here today. I ordered the Italian 3 way. The sandwich was huge, but it was lacking flavor. The bread was the worst part. BEWARE! It will shred your gums and the roof of your mouth. Not sure why there's a third piece of bread in the middle of the sandwich either. Like a Big Mac. $20 for the sandwich and a small bag of chips. Not impressed. Staff was really nice though. read more

I recently stopped by to pick up lunch while in the area. The Deli is located in a small strip mall across from Goleta Hospital. The menu is varied with meat & vegan/vegetarian choices. They even let you know if any allergen ingredients (i.e., dairy, gluten, etc) are included in your item. Their drink choices are different than the usual choices but good. If you think you'll pick up a sandwich to eat while on the road - don't. The sandwiches are generously portioned & messy (in a good way). I throughly enjoyed my South Coast turkey. The servers were friendly & my order was ready quickly. read more

Hands down the best sandwiches in town. The place is always busy, but I don't mind waiting because their sandwiches are top-notch.

Woooh, their sandwiches are huge! We got a single Italian turkey sandwich. It was way more than enough for the 2 of us. Good tasting too with lots of fillings. Good basil mayo dressing. Giving a 4 instead of a 5 because we didn't get the cookies we'd ordered, to go. read more

SALADS ARE WORKS OF DELICIOUS ART! The deli is known for superb sandwiches, but truly their shining and equally craveable accolade are their gorgeous, fresh, dynamic and delicious salads! -They are huge, layered with super fresh ingredients and always a feast for both the eyes and palate. My favorites?....the kale salad and the BBQ chicken salad. Truly, they give you enough for two separate meals. Also, they are kind enough to include an extra large (and extra) side of salad dressing upon request. The kale salad includes toasted pine nuts, heart of palm, and sun dried tomato in a light garlic vinaigrette. Delish! They are great about getting orders to-go ready expediently. Parking is out front and is a bit hard to grab during rush hours. The employees are kind, fun and hard-working. Never disappoints! read more

Excellent food. Staff are always working hard to get your orders out fast as lines can be long. But worth it no matter what. Gobble gobble is my fav read more

Both were excellent. The bread was Fluffy on the inside and crunchy on the outside, very good quality 10/10. The Marin had a really good base for greens and a great creamy mayo that I'd imagine is house made and it really made the sandwich in my opinion. The BBQ Chicken had a little more sauce than needed but still was very very good with the combination of bacon, lettuce, and avocado. My girlfriend rarely eats more than half and she devoured almost the whole sandwich! "I'm mad that I'm full cause I want to keep eating" was her comment. Decent price for the amount of food you get. I definitely could break this up for two lunch days depending upon how hungry you are and how much you eat. Overall I'm really happy we chose this place. The gals upfront are nice. read more

they automatically add a tip whether you're online or at their counter. That's not how tipping works. They're stealing

Been coming here since I first started UCSB 3 years ago. South Coast Deli remains the number one lunch option because of the plethora of menu options, the incredibly generous portions, and the shockingly low prices. I typically come around 12pm on weekends, and it is very busy. However, the line moves fast - you just have to decide from the vast options of sandwiches and salads from the menu! Food comes out quickly as well. The ambiance is lively and friendly. No complaints here! My tried and trues are: Salads: Mexican Chicken Caesar, Caesar with chicken, and Fowl Play. The portions are so large - I always take home a portion to go! Sandwiches: - Chipotle Chicken Club: a triple decker sandwich overflowing with different deli meats! half the sandwich is plenty to fill you up for hours - When in Rome: Basil pesto, lemon mayo, an overwhelming amount of soft, juicy chicken on an italian roll... this is the way to go everyone! While I look forward to graduating, I am not exaggerating when I say that the thing I will miss most about Santa Barbara is South Coast Deli! read more
