Glad I scoped out the menu before hand otherwise I would have been staring for hours trying to figuring out which option pick. Opted for The Freak and a soft roll, all condiments and no subs, as is. The pastrami was juicy, the mustard and chipotle Gouda added a nice heat. The sandwich is also large enough to share but my husband was able to eat his on his own. I was not able able to handle that feat on my own let alone wrap my hand around half the sandwich. He ranked the sandwich as his best so far in the Bay Area area and didn't even leave time for me to take a photo of his sandwich before taking a bite. read more

High quality sandwich spot. One of the few spots where the price justifies the quality of ingredients. I e stopped by here before going to SFO and was not disappointed. Definitely recommend the Big Boy breakfast sandwich ! Friendly staff and fairly fast service. 5/5 read more

My son and I were headed down to Menlo Park from SF a d wanted to find a new sandwich spot to try out. Randomly picked The Boys' Deli 'cause by all indications it looked like a hard core sammy place . We were not disappointed. They claim to be the best sandwich restaurant in San Bruno, we would give them way higher props than that. Definitely a top 5 spot for SF Bay area. While we haven't tried them all yet, out of the 20 or so we have tried, this one made what we already agreed will be a lasting impression. Every sandwich looked great, tastefully considered and well accessorized Needless to say, if you find yourself anywhere near San Bruno or, like us, are looking for a pit stop between the city and the south bay, seriously consider putting this on your short list. Quick hat tip to the staff, they were alls super cool. read more

We ordered our food super fast Gio helped us with our questions she was supper awesome and really added to the experience. The food was hot and fresh everything we tried tasted amazing. Definitely gonna miss this place when we go back home. read more

Super Bowl 60 Edition: Sandwiches is part of the San Francisco DNA( not the night club in SOMA). It's long history from Molinari's to Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe's favorite deli Freddies . Growing up in the Mission I enjoyed the sandwiches at the Sandwich Place ( the real name). San Francisco influences has grown to Brooklyn to a places called Mission Sandwich Social (missionsandwich.com) Different people across San Francisco have their neighborhood sandwich deli fan favorites like cities have their favorite NFL teams. For an individual meal on Super Bowl day or anyday of the year there is nothing better than a customized deli sandwich. There is a place in Russian Hill which sells one the best sandwiches in San Francisco. On a Super Bowl week stroll in Russian Hill in San Francisco there is a deli which serves delicious sandwiches. The sandwiches have names such as the City Boy sandwich and the City Girl sandwich. They also have names such as the Bad Date and the Hangover. I decide to get the SanFranPsycho sandwich which had honey turkey and it was saucy. It was a bit cheesy and the bread was not flakey like some in SF. It was savory and tangy but good. I also decided to try The Freak. The Dutch Crunch bread for The Freak was fresh and the pastrami brisket was tasty. It was a bit saucy with the honey mustard and chipotle sauce but it all together came out great. You can also order a side of spaghetti and potato salad or pair it with some of the crunchy chips available. Another great sandwich place in San Francisco. Take a "stroll" on Polk street through San Francisco and get a sandwich called the "SanFranPsycho"which has Honey turkey, bacon, smoked gouda cheese on a "Dutch Crunch Roll " and add extra sauce with remoulade so you enjoy it during the "Super Bowl" Grab a sandwich that's "hearty"with deli meats , sauces and cheeses like cheddar, and "havarti" for the Super Bowl "Party"so you can see the winning team win the Super Bowl Trophy also known as the "Vince Lombardi" read more

Pretty good subs here. One of the greatest experiences I've ever had at a sandwich shop happened here. I ordered 5 sandwiches to go and got 2 of the orders wrong. Naturally, I thought by asking them to do the orders over again they would get annoyed and charge me extra. Nope! They smiled and said no problem, and even gave me one of the sandwiches for free since they already constructed it (they hadn't made the second one yet). It's been a while since I've been there but I'll be back soon! read more

Food: 4.0 | Service: 5.0 | Ambiance: 4.0 428 San Bruno Ave W Hours: M-Sun 9AM-4PM Family-owned THE BOYS' DELI was a new-to-me deli that I had been waiting to try for some time. I was in the neighborhood and nearly closing time, 4PM close, but glad I made it in time to order! It's Street parking only so it might get interesting at lunchtime. TBD uses premium Boars Head deli meats & cheeses, daily-delivered Boudin breads, to build their sandwiches. Standard adds are Mayo, Mustard, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Pickles, Pepperoncini, Jalapenos, Salt & Pepper, Oil & Vinegar. Cheese is extra, and their Sandwiches are usually Toasted. I usually take all the offered fixings, and opt not toast so it keeps longer if I end up having the rest for a second meal. If ravenous, then definitely toast! The very freshly made sandwich was nicely balanced, well put together with crisp veggies, condiments, on fresh bread. The people are friendly and will work with you to customize a sandwich if the TBD specials don't hit the spot for you. Great selection of chips and drink to pick from. Ordered: SPARTACUS on a sourdough roll w/Mortadella, Hot Capocollo, Salami, Provolone. Did all the fixings except mayo. Freshly made when ordered. This was a really good sandwich and would order again. Loved finding THE BOY'S DELI, with their original location in SF, nearby so I'll be back to eat my way through their sandwich menu. Especially some of their popular specials like SANFRANPSYCHO, SANDLOT, GODFATHER, HOT MESS, CHICKEN GARLC ASIAGO to start! See you there! read more

I was so excited to try this deli with my colleague and it ended in my stomach cramping and some other side effects. We both were really turned off by our sandwiches. I ordered the pastrami brisket, build yourself, toasted with everything except jalapeños, on a soft white roll. My colleague ordered the Hot Mess (meatball) on sourdough, toasted. They seem reasonably priced. This was to-go order, we ate at our desks at work. My friend's sandwich was not toasted and wet, huge red flag, he's ok. Mine was burnt black on the ends and had no taste outside of the mustard. The pastrami had no taste or flavor. Something just seemed off. A little over a hour later my stomach was cramping. I'm not trashing on this deli, but bring awareness, please wash hands and glove up when prepping foods. Please educate your employees. Also, chat with your purveyors about your meats or breads. If it doesn't look right, call them immediately and throw it out. Both of our sandwiches were cold, not hot and toasty. It was all very strange. I grew up making sandwiches at a very young age of 14 in a NY family deli and spent years in food service. This order was very off. For the owners, this was ordered today 12/1, if you want to have a discussion with staff that work around noon today. I see the great ratings from Yelpers. Maybe this was a bad day for staff and/or inventory, not sure. Pretty sure I'll stick to my usual sammie places in the future. My pic looks nice. I was very excited opening it prior to eating it. I rarely ever give a sad review but I think this necessary in this situation. read more

The Boys’ Deli - Pastrami (build your own) - Delis Near Me - San Bruno, California

An amazing sandwich great service lots of options couldn't say better things about it will return five stars

Greetings to all, today's review of the Freak sandwich and a thoughtful Salad. The service was on point and very good. The deli itself was modesty lit, with just the right amount of light . We had the Freak sandwich today which was a bit dry on one side and Happy on the other; this made for an uneven taste balance for us , besides this; the San was just ok. I just Love Georgetta or the Female worker that was working at the time, She made a Salad for me that was Outstanding, don't judge a book by its cover; this salad was on point. Today's visit is a 3.5 stars and can only get better; I will continue to come here and Try all things on the menu. read more

Ordered on DoorDash since it was a rainy day but I still wanted a sandwich I tried the godfather, one of the boys and San Franpsycho. We love turkey and salami so it was cool to have some variety on how it was made. Bread fresh and meat solid and ingredients tasty. I will definitely come order here again. read more

I ordered the pastrami and it was good. I think it needed a bit more sauce because the bread was dry.

I don't know if it's because I was super hungry but my sandwich was SO GOOD. Staff was super nice. Got some good recs after mentioning that it was my first time. Ordered the SanFranPsycho on soft bread, everything but jalapeño + toasted. It was so flavorful. I liked that it wasn't overwhelming. It was well portioned and not soggy. Parking in this area is really rough, but it'll be worth looking. Limited seating as well. Easier to order for take out. OVERALL: Good quality sandwich, on the pricier end but I think it was worth it. read more

Solid sandwiches. Decent crowd on a saturday at lunch. Lots of options or build your own.

We were in the area and decided to try out this sandwich shop based on the reviews. We arrived around 12:15pm and the place was packed. Definitely consider ordering over the phone as it took about 30 minutes to order and get our sandwiches in person. The chip and beverage selection is incredible. Many flavors I had never seen before. For sandwiches, we ordered the Lightweight Tipsy and the Spartacus. Unfortunately when we got home, we realized that we had received a Double Trouble instead of the Spartacus. Our receipt reflected our original order, so there must have been a mixup when bagging our order. Both were good, but we were both most looking forward to a sub with Italian flavors, so the random turkey sandwich was a bit of a letdown. We live about 25 minutes away and were starving so it wasn't worth going back to correct the order. Overall the bread was good, ingredients were fresh and the sandwich was stuffed with meat and toppings. If we had received our correct order, this would be a 5 star sandwich spot. Unfortunately waiting 30 minutes to ultimately receive the wrong sandwich wasn't an ideal experience. Note: This is a small shop. There are ~2 tables, so most likely you will want to take your food to go. read more

My husband brought home sandwiches from here three times in one week. They must order their Dutch crunch from a sorcerer because that bread is magical. Their sandwich combos are pretty amazing--did I mention we had their sandwiches three times in one week? We had to stop because we were getting addicted. We are looking forward to the next time we treat ourselves to a sandwich from The Boys Deli. read more

The Boys’ Deli - San FranPsycho - Delis Near Me - San Bruno, California

I've tried the Spitfire (buffalo chicken, bacon, habanero jack, and sriracha mayo) and Hangover (turkey, hot capocollo ham, avocado, habanero jack, and spicy mayo) on Dutch crunch. Both were good, but I couldn't really taste the buffalo in the Spitfire. I thought the Hangover was more flavorful and the avocado made for a good addition to the sandwich. Overall a solid sandwich spot with good portions. I like that all their signature sandwiches are the same price and not ingredient-dependent. With all the specialty sandwich spots out there, I wouldn't say this one stands out in any way, but the sandwiches were good and I'd get them again. read more

My friend and I were in the neighborhood and came across this Deli store in walking distance. So we decided to give it a try! It turned out that this became my top 3 sandwich places in the Bay Area! They have a wide selection of sandwiches on their menu and multiple options for bread. We had no idea what to try so simply picked the first 2 on the menu. I got the SanFranPsyco with sour dough bread. It was much better than I expected! The honey turkey was tender and juicy and balanced well with the Gouda cheese, pesto, and garlic spread. The sour dough bread was fresh and crispy. All sandwiches came with veggies but you also have the option to choose what you want to include / exclude. The portion was so large that I could only finish half of it. The shop was pretty small with only 3-4 seats next to the window. There is plenty street parking available near the shop, so parking shouldn't be a problem. read more

The Boys’ Deli - SanFranPsycho Sandwich - Delis Near Me - San Bruno, California

Very solid for a sandwich spot in Millbrae! It's a small shop with sandwiches toasted right to perfection. It's located in an area that's hard to find parking but it's not that bad if you can find something within the neighborhood. I ordered their SanFrancPyscho sandwich with Dutch Crunch. It had honey turkey, gouda, bacon, garlic spread, and remoulade. The sandwich was then toasted as well. That extra toasted-ness made the sandwich taste so good. I love dutch crunch in general but having it hot and crispy was delicious. The ingredients weren't anything spectacular, but it was a well constructed sandwich with good quality ingredients and I really enjoyed it. Definitely come give this place a shot if you're in the area! read more

The Boys’ Deli - SanFranPsycho Sandwich - Delis Near Me - San Bruno, California

Love this place. It is in the middle of nowhere and parking is limited but so worth it. The place was nice and the staff were so friendly and quick. The sandwich was delicious! I ordered the sandlot and I loved all the flavors! Everything was good- the bread (Dutch crunch) meat, and sauce was so good. It was a little messy because it was packed with goodness so just be prepared. They also added ingredients that we didn't ask for so maybe check your sandwich before leaving. I would definitely come back. read more

I've always wanted to try The Boys' Deli because I have heard good things about the sandwiches from their location on Polk Street, but their San Bruno location is way more convenient for me. This location isn't a full on grocery store, but they got a nice variety of chips and drinks. The service is pretty friendly and this is more of a grab and go type of shop since there's only a few seats inside. I ordered for myself the SanFranPsycho Sandwich with everything on it except for pickles. The sandwiches are $16 currently which is pretty standard for any sandwich shop typically. The SanFranPsycho comes with maple honey turkey, bacon, chipotle gouda cheese, pesto & garlic butter spread. I definitely regret getting everything on it because the mustard could overpower their tasty pesto & garlic butter spread, but that's just personal preference. To be honest I don't really taste much bacon in it. The sandwich was good, but the only downside was that the Dutch crunch bread was toasted too long and quite a bit of my sandwich turned out being burnt. The toppings were all good, but that was the only con of my experience. I also think it would be great to be asked if I want the bread to be toasted how they do it by default or have it lightly toasted and I'm sure some have preferences to not even have them toasted. All in all, this was more of a 3.5 star experience, but I think this has potential to be one of the better sandwich shops in San Bruno and I have to try out the rest of their menu. The customer service is great and the ingredients are good quality. Parking situation can be a bit tough on a busy day especially once Mazra re-opens. That's when it can start to get really difficult. Regardless, I recommend giving The Boy's Deli a try at least. read more

My favorite delicatessen ever. Every sandwich has a unique taste and kick to it. I'm here a few times a week and live an hour away. Never regret the drive there or back. My favorites are the SanFran Psycho and The Dirty South. Place has fantastic service and street parking all around. read more

I was initially very impressed with the variety of menu selections and took my time reviewing the options before deciding on the One of the Boys sandwich. I requested it cold, not toasted, on a sourdough roll with all toppings except jalapeños. Unfortunately, the experience did not meet expectations, which is why I rated it one star. The bottom portion of the roll had no condiments, the bread itself was stale, and there was no lettuce included. While I did eat the filling, the bread was so dry and unappealing that I could not finish it. Sourdough rolls are my favorite, and while I know they are meant to be hard, they should never be dry or stale. My concern is that serving the sandwich hot may be intended to disguise the use of day-old bread. Overall, I left very disappointed. read more

The sandwiches are delicious and the service was great. There's also a donut shop across the street, The Rolling Pin, you can visit while waiting for your sandwich. Parking can be a bit tricky though. read more

The guy on the register on March 1st, 2025 at 3:15 pm was taking the trash bags out of the trash can bare hands then proceeded to grab food with out washing his hands his hands first. When I asked could our food be redone because I seen what he did. He caught an attitude and told his coworkers she wants her food redone with telling them the reason. Then he gets rude after I cut his off and explained to his coworkers about his trifling behavior and they made him go wash his hands. SN: The food good as hell. 10/10 would recommend read more

Delicious sandwiches and prompt service. Whenever I'm in the area, it's a must have. Only downside is the price. $18 for a sandwich

tried the dirty south & CBR the dirty south was decent. not the most amazing sandwich, bread was a little too toasted. i don't think the pastrami was warmed up with the cheese because the pastrami was still cold. so it was ok at best. the CBR ( chicken bacon ranch) was decent as well. i'm not a huge fan of ranch on a sandwich so it was a little overwhelming plus with the mayo & mustard it felt too mushy. maybe i need to try a plain turkey sandwich to see if it's good. because you cannot mess up a turkey sandwich haha read more
