    Was getting my car serviced and I walked over and got the Baja turkey and initially wasn't impressed by the presentation . However, if there's a place that can make a good sandwich it is Surf And Sub Deli l and I'll for sure come back! The lady at the front counter was so nice too.Prices were good

    Delicious food, great service, and staff were helpful with recommendations! Excited to try other menu items next visit :)

    $7 for a breakfast croissant chock full of real egg, bacon, cheese, avocado, and a lil slather of mayo that tastes even better than it looks? What a dream!That was including the $1.50 charge for avocado too! Officially, breakfast ends at 11, however the lady helping me was kind enough to still make the croissant for me when I came in at 11:30ish which I really appreciated. Polite, quick service, delicious, freshly made vittles in a clean, quiet space plus at a steal of a price... all of the above makes Surf n Sub a great go-to option for sandwiches in the area and tasty food in general when you don't want to brave a line or crazy parking.

    My foodja order that wasn't even close

    This deli is on our lunch list for Foodja delivery at work. The first time I chose a salad and it really wasn't very good. Today, I thought maybe the good Yelp reviews are based on sandwiches. My order clearly stated add onions, lettuce, mustard, tomatoes, and extra meat on ciabatta bread. What I got has no tomatoes, onions, questionable extra meat (additional $3) and wasn't on ciabbata. How can a $17 6" sandwich go so wrong?

    This lil shop is located in the industrial part of Kearny Mesa in San Diego and came here based upon my other yelpers' reviews. I can tell you for the sandwiches, we were not disappointed. I viewed the menu online prior to making my entrance through the door. This shop has a small parking lot shared with others in the complex, as well as street parking - but like everywhere first come first served. It seems like a lot of locals ventured here and pre-order their food. I noticed a soup special menu upon entering the door. I ordered the tomato basil for my SO, however and unfortunately he did not quite like it much. I didn't think it was too bad, wasn't great but okay. He was hoping to dip his sandwich in the soup. Otherwise our sandwiches were fully stocked with avocado and chicken and did I mention delicious? the bread comes from the California Baking Company and their bread is super delicious! I even went the healthier route and ordered a wheat - it was the best wheat I have tasted in a long time. Accordingly, the sandwiches are about $10+- depending on what you order. They have bottled beverages in the cold cases and offer some cold salads (potato salad etc.) in half pint containers. We will definitely be back to try other sandwiches as it was all made fresh and super delicious! Staff was friendly and efficient with the amount of orders for the time I came and the foot traffic in-and-out.

    Amazing/ great sandwiches freshly made to order. Service was kind and the place is quiet and comfortable

    Baja turkey on squaw bread
    Vanessa G.

    Searched through my Yelp for a good deli to try on my lunch. Happy to say I found an amazing one today. This sandwich was crisp and not one speck of dryness. Their Chipotle mayo was impressive it had the perfect hint of spice. I tried the Baja turkey on squaw bread toasted with extra spears of pickle. Todays lunch was a hit I'm coming back tomorrow morning to try a breakfast croissant

    Books & Records Delivers Live Jazz, Standout Cocktails, and Exceptional Happy Hour Bites…read moreAs a fan of Common Stock, expectations were high for its Bankers Hill sister spot, Books & Records--and it easily delivered. The moment you step inside, the bi-level space makes a striking impression with its mid-century accents, exposed brick, and warm, moody lighting. It manages to balance a lively, energetic atmosphere with an effortless chicness that feels tailored for a memorable night out. The happy hour here is an absolute standout, featuring an expansive array of creative food options and crafted drinks. The menu brings an inventive Asian fusion twist to bar bites, offering flavor-forward small plates that pair seamlessly with the beverage program. The drinks deserve equal applause: the craft cocktails are meticulously balanced, and the signature ube-inspired cocktails are as vibrant and distinct as they are delicious. Adding to the venue's overall charm is the live music program. Catching live jazz, soul, and blues sets elevates the entire experience from a simple dinner run into a full sensory event. The music creates a vibrant, soulful backdrop without overpowering table conversation, striking just the right rhythm for intimate catch-ups or energetic group gatherings. Whether you are dropping in for a quick drink, indulging in a multi-dish happy hour spread, or lingering late for the live tunes and exceptional cocktails, Books & Records captures everything that makes CS Hospitality's concepts so special. It is a stylish, fun, and flavorful addition to San Diego's dining scene.

I like the different variety of table seating to the different rooms of where you can dine. It was inviting and very spacious. Everyone that we encountered was super friendly and outgoing. It was very great hospitality. Our waiter was very helpful and check in on us quite often. The service was Superb. Now the food, we went on a Wednesday which they have Happy Hour all day. We ordered The Record Room Burger which came with Fries. This was very tasty. The fries were excellent. I tried one of my friend's dishes which was the Lamb Meatballs and that was amazing. Sadly, the B&R Mac n Cheese did not do it for me. It was missing seasoning and the flakes tasted stale. The staff did give us salt & pepper to jazz it up which did help. Regardless of the mac n cheese, I really enjoyed this place. The red wine was perfection. Overall it was a great experience and I gotta go back to check out other food items.

It's got the decor, chairs, and art to match. Jessica was our server and she was amazing! She gave us lots of suggestions on what to try and what is on the menu since it was my first time here. She recommended the bloody Mary flight so did grab that to try! We also ordered the biscuits and gravy to share and orange juice. The portions are so large! So I am glad we decided to share the biscuits and gravy but let me run down each thing. Bloody Mary Flight: Honestly every single one was amazing. My favorite was definitely the pickle Mary! Everything tasted so delicious and was garnished beautifully. Well worth the 22 dollars. Biscuits and Gravy: Absolute perfection of comfort food. The biscuits were so fluffy and well seasoned. The gravy was also soooo good, just like my mom makes. The sausage in it was also cooked so well and juicy. I've never tried mashed potatoes with the biscuits and gravy but it worked very well! Orange Juice: Not a fan really, not pulpy enough and I wasn't a fan of the flavor. Overall this is definitely a must visit! I will definitely be back.

THE BACON AND SAUSAGE! The sausage links were sooooooo good. The bacon was thick and absolutely delicious. Our five-year-old got the strawberry patch waffle and that was super tasty! My husband's apple pancake was yummy. It's enough for two (or even three people)! Overall, this was a great breakfast restaurant and perfect for families. I'd come back!
