    Chicken Cesar wrap added avocado
    Ada H.

    Stumbled upon this establishment on Yelp and had to try this spot because of the glowing reviews. It's an interesting set up located in the back of a wine store but the person taking the orders was very nice and I was sad to hear that their special was a Dungeness crab sandwich since I have already preordered their chicken Cesar wrap on their website. Wished they had specials available for preorder. The chicken Cesar wrap was delicious with each lettuce evenly coated with sauce. The only gripe I would have is that there wasn't that much chicken and the price was a bit steep for a chicken Cesar wrap. I honestly could've made this at home. Kind of regret not trying their sandwiches but definitely will be back for it.

    The Montana
    Gerard Y.

    I went to The Hornet in person and ordered The Montana. The sandwich was hella hearty with meat on a sourdough roll. The menu seems to change every once in awhile so I'll be back to check out the other options. There's 2 tables outside if you want to eat the sandwich right there. It's nice that this place is located in a bottle shop, London Market, so you have the option of getting a nice craft beer to go with the sandwich too.

    Spicy Carlo
    Jared D.

    Amazing sandwich. They are currently in the back of a wine shop. Great wine and beer selection, but that's beside the point. They have some great sandwiches. The service is friendly and great and guiding. Grab and go place, nowhere to eat but who cares. Nice shop that is clean. I got the Spicy Carlo and it was fantastic. The meat was shaved, veggies fresh, focaccia spongy with great bite. Everything was in great proportion. High quality ingredients for a high quality sandwich. Would love to eat all of their everything.

    Tri tip steak sando
    Ryan B.

    Preordered the tri tip sando for pickup. The sandwich counter is conveniently located in the back of London Market. It was ready early, nicely packaged and I was thanked. The sando seemed to be toasted in a panini press, the steak was sliced to perfection and everything had proper proportions including the red pepper and chimichurri sauce. A+ and I will return to try the crab sando

    French dip
    Michael R.

    The hornet is actually located inside London market liquor store. Service was pretty fast by the time I finished my lap around the store looking at all the cool wine and whiskey my sando was ready. they recommended the French dip and it was sooooo good! Can't wait to try all the other sandos they have.

    Spicy Pops w/ rotisserie chicken. Delicious!

    Excellent sandwich! Spicy Pops. Rotisserie chicken was tender (not at all dry), perfect combination of ingredients with great flavor, great bread. Fresh ingredients. Expect to wait (mine was 20 mins) but SO worth it. Or order online. Very friendly service. A couple small tables outside.

    Cesar wrap

    New spot with some phenomenal sandwiches! I have been back once a week since my first trip. Personal favorite is the Cesar wrap, I personally like to add a bit of crispy bacon for the added texture. Seriously don't sleep on the Cesar, BEST IN SF! Also, the portions are HUGE! Can't go wrong at this joint. Grab a Sammie, grab a beer, wine, bottle. Whatever tickles your pickle (no pun intended).

    The Hornet is hands down one of the best sandwich spots in Pacific Heights. Fresh ingredients, generous portions, and specials for everyone. The flavors are on point, and you can tell they put real care into every sandwich. Definitely my new go-to in the neighborhood!

    "Spicy Carlo" sandwich

    A local favorite! Cool little sandwich shop nested in The London Market. High quality ingredients, great portion size and a really nice staff. I got the "Spicy Carlo" with fresh Acme bread and Molinari meats. The menu rotates weekly - this week they also had the "Crabby Patty" and the "Chicken Caesar Wrap".

    Was a fan until they discontinued the 7-11 grab and go egg sandwich. Sad to see something affordable and easy leave the menu.

    This is probably the only place where the sandwiches don't taste like the store's essence…read more I mean, don't get me wrong, a store's essence from any given deli/liquor store definitely adds unique character to the sandwich and sometimes I want that in a sandwich. But when you want a sandwich that only tastes like its ingredients, Irving Subs is the spot. Their Dutch crunch is famous for being fresh and actually crunchy. Their lettuce is shredded but fresh and crispy. The salt content is just enough to bring out the flavors. And the overall composition of their sandwiches are very well proportioned. You're not getting skimped, but you're also not biting into a mouthful of a packet of deli meat. They definitely know what they are doing. Service is good and ambiance is a small humble shop on the corner of 12th Ave.

Double pastrami, horseradish, havarti, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, and pepperoncini. A lot going on, and it all came together. The horseradish and havarti gave it enough personality to stand apart from a standard pastrami sandwich, and the garlicky mayo tied everything together. The one casualty of DoorDash was sogginess by the time it arrived. That's not a knock on the sandwich, it's just the reality of ordering something like this for delivery. At $14.50 it's a hearty sandwich at a fair price. I'd recommend it, but eat in.

    I came here for the first time a few months ago closer to when it first opened not expecting much…read moreand was very pleasantly surprised by how delicious and juicy the sandwiches are. This is a cute corner shop in sunny Mission, and it's very clean and organized inside. I was the only person there when I went early Saturday morning (although I imagine it might be busier now) and I ordered the lady Gianna, which took around 10 minutes to make. The result was a delicious juicy eggplant Parm like sandwich with a nice kick as well. The fresh basil really came through. The Portobello sandwich was also a standout. Overall, the focaccia bread has a perfect fluffiness and crunch on outside and the ingredients feel fresh. Would love to come back and keep supporting this little shop!

Most of us got the "Call Me Serge" which included roasted turkey, bacon, cheddar + Gouda, arugula, and a Calabrian chili orange jam, rosemary ranch, and creamy avocado-lime vinaigrette spread. It was warm and delicious! I think I would've left the arugula off next time as it tasted strong with the jam (but that's me with a sensitivity to arugula). I will definitely return to try something different to bring to my next Dolores picnic!
