Great spot to stop by and grab a sandwich for the beach. They also have plenty of seating in front and the back patio area. Today they had a live music very chill vibes to relax and enjoy some good food. I got the chicken pesto sandwich. Fresh and filling. Street parking. I loved that they maximized the space and created a multiple businesses on the lot. Definitely coming back to check out the wine patio. read more

I unfortunately didn't love this place but perhaps I should try another order. I had the tri tip sandwich and it was quite dry and in need of a sauce of some sort like a side of salsa which is how I've normally had them. The yard had limited shade so was hard to enjoy sitting there on a hot midday afternoon. Will try another sandwich for pickup and see if that changes anything. FYI They are doing construction and it's right on a busy corner so parking is pretty tricky. read more

Just had the 2 x tri-tip tacos... Delicious!! So, good! Tri-tip was so tender, with a nice subtle smokey flavor, no grizzle pieces in either taco. The pineapple/jalapeño salsa was an amazing compliment to the tri-tip. 2 of them hit the spot but if I had ordered 3, I would have gotten into it. Ordered online on their web site, was ready in 15. Service at the order window, super friendly. Food order brought out by the chef, friendly, nice touch. The space is inviting and we'll decorated. read more

What a crazy cute spot! Great post beach sando shop. Parking is tough. I got the vegan legend and it was tasty- lots of sprouts pickles, spinach, onions and a curry-ish sauce. The bread is toasted and a bit crisp but I liked it. The best parts are the laid back vibe and the outdoor seating. In the front there are some spots but the back with there is a coffee vendor, cocktail seating and another little jewelry shop. Would also be great to meet up and chill with friends. If I lived close by, I'd be here a lot. read more

Wonderful establishment tucked behind on turquoise street (guys put up a street sign so people can find ur bizz bc howd i live here for 4 years and just now found this place). Greeted with compliments and genuine hellos. Said it felt like we were in someones living room and a staff member said "you are". Lots of sando options, got some recommendations from andrew working the regi. Landed on a tri tip sub and a ceasar wrap (i have a thing with ceasar wraps and had to try theirs but I would say try a sando on first go bc thats likely their forte. Will be back to try all of them. Also as we left we were told to have a good day and that they were proud of us; Which I think I needed more than a sub. read more

Great experience overall! The service was amazing, everyone was so friendly, and the live music outside paired with the cozy indoor seating made the whole place feel really welcoming. The only thing I'd skip is the Italian sandwich ("Forget About It"). It was overwhelmingly salty, sooo bread-heavy, and felt like it was mostly salami and prosciutto. A friend of mine ordered it too and had the exact same experience, so it didn't seem like a one-off. Usually hard to have a bad Italian. Everyone else loved their sandwiches, so I'd definitely come back--I'd just recommend ordering something other than the Italian. read more

This is an appreciation review! Colby and the his staff at Starvin Marvin's stayed open for my 40th Stranger Things / 80's Birthday Party! I cannot thank him enough for doing that for me! The food was AMAZING! ...I was too much into the celebration that I did not snap any photos of the delicious food. If you are looking for different types of tasty flatbreads, sandwiches, tacos and my favorite of the night, Tri Tip Nachos...this place is where you need to go! It's a cool spot to hang out, watch the game and enjoy delicious food. I have to go back and snap a photo of the yummy food they have because it deserves another visit! read more

Got takeout here and took it to the cliffs for sunset, 10/10 recommend doing that. The sandwich was really good with crispy melted cheese. Cesar wrap was pretty good, would get again. The staff here were over the top kind and so engaging. Gave us free chips and waters. So sweet. Def worth a stop here. The shop itself is super cool and looks like you're in a surf shack living room. Really cool and unique vibe. read more

Colby and his team did the catering for my baby shower and I couldn't be more impressed! This isn't another "fluff" review, it honestly was a fantastic experience. We used The Oasis for our 60-ish person baby shower and had no complaints. The food was phenomenal.... Not just your average food for a baby shower. The wait staff was overly friendly and super attentive. They kept rolling out the pizzas and sandwiches non stop! If you're reading this let me answer some questions. Yes use Colby for catering. Yes the drinks are aesthetic and delicious. Yes, Colby will adopt your vibe and apply it to the decor and food perfectly. Yes, book it! Overall, I'd recommend Colby and his team for any event. The level of communication and attentiveness was unmatched. 10/10 would recommend! read more

I ordered the Vegan Legend and was extremely disappointed. For the price, you're almost better off getting a veggie sandwich from Sprouts--it's bigger, costs less than half, and comes packed with more toppings. Honestly you're better going anywhere else. Since I mostly order veggie sandwiches, I expect something filling and loaded with vegetables, but this felt more like a school lunch. I expect a meat packed sandwich to be $17 but not a sandwich with 4 spare vegetables lol. I'm sure their other sandwiches are great, but I definitely wouldn't recommend the Vegan Legend. It's just too pricey for what you get. read more

This place has a fun vibe and it's cool that it's connected to the wine bar in the back. The people who work there were also very friendly so I hate to say this but the food however was not good. We tried two sandwiches, the prosciutto one and the tuna one. The prosciutto was pot quality and seemed like it may had gone bad? It tasted kind of sour. Neither of us finished our sandwiches and my husband never leaves food behind! read more

Amazing shop. Colby and the guys are fantastic. A super cool communal tea garden , wine bar and coffee shop in the patio all intertwined to make an amazing spot to spend your afternoon. The service, the ambiance, the hospitality, and the QUALITY of ingredients is next level. Not only is the food quality sustenance, but the love here is supreme. Thanks Marv! read more

Starvin' Marvin's is a new sandwich shop operating out of a converted residence in the North PB neighborhood. The marker on its Yelp listing is not accurate as the business is about a block south near the corner of La Jolla Blvd and Wrelton Dr. The best bet is to find a curbside spot on the boulevard and walk over. The enclosed front patio had a few high top tables if you wanted to dine al fresco. There was definitely a surfer vibe to the place. Six sandwiches, seven flatbreads, and two salads made up the menu from Chef Colby. The first listed sandwich (Marv's Tubular Tri Tip) was my choice. A crisped French roll was filled with roasted tri-tip, melted pepper jack cheese, and horseradish topped with arugula, onion, and balsamic vinaigrette. The meat was almost completely covered by the arugula. I wouldn't have guessed the cut was tri-tip because it looked and tasted more like braised beef pulled into shreds. The flavor combination was sharp with the peppery nature of arugula and the pungency of the horseradish. The sandwiches ranged in price from $15 to $19 while the flatbreads were similar between $16 and $19. I believe there was a discount offered on Wednesdays for the flatbreads. For the quality and price of my sandwich, I gave a four star rating for my experience at Starvin' Marvin's. read more

This place exceeded by expectations with amazing food and company. The food couldn't be better. There is so much to do while waiting for your food. They have all the games to keep you and your kids busy , a great view with options to soak up the Sun or sit in the shade. You can also grab a coffee, and shop in the backyard and the Oasis. The flatbread was toasted to perfection and the sandwiches you wont stop talking about. I can taste the high quality ingredients. Everything is made with love and you feel that right when you walk in. The place feels safe and I loose track of time when Im here. I love how they rotate the menu with new things to try monthly. Perfect place to hang out. Kid & Dog friendly!! Cant wait to go again! read more

It's a cute spot but we ordered and after 20 minutes they said it would be another 30 minutes. But they hustled to get the 2 year old's grilled cheese, then one sandwich came out, then the flat bread, then after everyone had finished my tuna melt came . Just asked for a to go box. Place wasn't crowded so it's hard to understand why it takes 45 minutes to make sandwiches? Food was good though. No water - had to pay 2$ for a bottle. read more

I've been wanting to try this place for a while now and I was back in the area so I decided to stop by. They were super friendly and accommodating (I went before they closed and was being indecisive between a hot or cold sandwich) and the space really did feel like a friend's house. I brought my sandwich to tourmaline since it's a 5 minute walk away and ngl it was audibly good. I'm glad I went with the warm sammie but i'll definitely come back to try the cold ones too. read more

Absolutely delicious and healthy sandwiches and a very friendly, laid back place. Would recommend to everyone.

I'll start off by saying I never write reviews. That being said, I felt I needed to give this place the credit it deserves. There are so many average sandwich shops in San Diego. Basic club using basic ingredients, so on and so forth. This place looks at each of their sandwiches and just takes everything up a notch. The bread is better, the sauces are unique, and the care was evident. After our first sandwiches my wife and I have vowed to go down the list until we've tried every one. read more

Starvin' Marvin's - Far out sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - San Diego, California

We got super lucky where we were fortunate enough to visit them on their last working day before they jet off on their holiday break. The 2 guys working at the shop were super friendly and we got to chatting about how they'll be back in Jan so check in on their socials to confirm when they'll be open again! I tried the tri tip tubular and the first thing I noticed was how MASSIVE the sandwiches were. It's a proper footlong with generous portions of their tri tip. I liked the arugula and Marvs horseradish which helped brighten the sandwich. This is definitely a must try if you like tri tip and big portions. They were already soldout of some sandwiches by mid-afternoon so I recommend if you have something specific you want to try, call ahead or get there earlier. Another thing to note is that they make the sandwiches fresh to order once you're there in-person and not ahead the way it was intended so don't come here if you're looking for something too quick. They definitely put a lot of love into the sandwich making! The shop is inside a house tucked inside a cute shared, outdoor patio space where you can also pair your sandwich with coffee or wine, and shop for clothes and jewelry all in the same space. Parking can be challenging but well worth the visit. read more
