Hidden Gem Alert!! I was in the area recently and wanted to find a good local spot. The Saint Sandwich Shop came highly recommended on Yelp, and it did not disappoint. I love the restaurant's retro decor and feel. It even has an 80's-style arcade game. The employees were friendly and welcoming. They use ACME bread! I tried their Bird sandwich, which consisted of turkey, bacon, avocado, jack cheese, shredded lettuce, tomatoes, mayo on a rustic ACME sweet roll. I opted out of the mustard. Delicious with a generous amount of turkey! The bread was fresh, soft, with a crispy crust. Definitely one of the best sandwiches I've had in a while! We also tried the vegan Saint Francis sandwich on Udi's gluten-free bread, which was a standout and nice to see they had this option on the menu. It featured plant-based salami and prosciutto with vegan cheddar, a refreshing change from the typical "meat-free" options. Most sandwich shops simply remove the meat from a regular sandwich, so it was great to see a full-flavored vegan option with plant-based proteins. Parking is easy with two spots directly in front of the shop and several more across the street. It's a convenient and simple location to find. If you're in the area, be sure to give them a try...you won't be disappointed!
Wooweee. A little gem nearby me Friendly workers and such a cute little shop! They have outdoor seating and some tables inside with a higher bar seating along one of the walls. I got the Beast- the roast beef was tasty, veggies were tasty and bread was crunchy. very very filling! I also got the pasta salad- it was good with a little kick! Looks like there is a restroom in the back. Street parking and neighborhood parking so fret not.
I usually never write about sandwich shops, because they are just "eh", like okay and they fill my belly but nothing to write home about. But this one is worth every word, the flavors, the choices, they make a great sandwich and it was big so the second half ended up being dinner. I've discovered a gem of a sandwich spot and can't wait to stop by again, highly recommend it!
Oh, man! It was everything I hoped it would be! F-ing satisfying, super flavorful and a pile of fresh high quality ingredients. Please do yourself and everyone you love a favor and come here! Friendly and quick service, chill atmosphere and rocking music. I'll be back soon.
As an east coaster, it's hard to find a good hoagie (sub) on the west coast... The Saint Sandwhich Shop nails it for me. I got a build your own and the portions are big, flavors are fresh and delish and the rolls are dense. Ask for a side of pickles too Service can be slow but it's worth the wait. You can always order online and pick up too. Ambiance is casual and small so you may wait for a seat. Sando def holds up well to go!
THE SAINT!! YESS!! From the small home town mom and pop feel- to the local brews in the fridge and laid back feel of this place, The Saint fires on all cylinders at all times! The bread is amazing (pizza Bianca) and the cookies are so soft! I personally get the best, a beautiful blend of Black Forest ham, salami, pesto, mozzarella, tomato! Reminds me of my Italian grandmothers cooking! Dude I mean, LOOK at this thing! The employees are down to earth and have a knack for remembering faces. Check this place out- you won't be disappointed!
I'm vegan and have been coming to the Saint for the Saint Francis sandwich for years. I bring my friends regularly, and have almost always enjoyed my experience, tho today was an exception. I recently developed an allergy to onion and, unfortunately, onion is the only ingredient not listed to remove on the Saint Francis sandwich (on their website). I decided to call to place a pickup order so I could mention the allergy. The man who picked up the phone refused to take an order insisting that I must place my order online. I explained there wasn't the option to remove the ingredient and was worried since I had an allergy. He argued that I was mistaken, and I could edit the order online or order a "build your own sandwich" (without acknowledging the additional cost for such a thing). I mentioned the inaccessibility of such a system and that I truly wasn't seeing the option to remove ingredients. He spent longer arguing with me over the phone than it would have been to take my order over the phone. Eventually, I relented, and placed an online order stating in the "notes to seller" (the only way to edit an order in this case) no onion on the Saint Francis sandwich. There was onion on my sandwich. Maybe instead of believing they need to be right, they should just listen to the customer and try to accommodate.
Nut allergy friendly - I put a note on GrubHub and everything turned out fine. Review is for take-out via GrubHub, which estimated a 30 minute wait on a Sunday afternoon. It seemed accurate and my order was ready when I arrived. I ordered "The Bay" as it was highlighted as a popular option. It is exactly as described with turkey, roast beef, yellow cheddar, and vegetables in a sesame roll. The meat was sliced thin and it was a pretty hefty sandwich. I'd say it's more expensive than I would normally pay for a sandwich and as a deli the portions are interestingly right between "not enough" and "too much." I split the sandwich with a friend for lunch and I could've eaten more afterwards, but I don't think I could've finished another half of a sandwich. Maybe with some chips or a drink it would have been perfect. Anyway, don't be afraid of the price tag as the sandwich could easily be two portions!
Came for lunch and ordered their special and Saint Francis. The portions are huge and I could've just shared with the hubby. We also grabbed a chipotle pasta side it had a good kick. Will definitely come back to try other sandwiches. I'd recommend if you can eat it there or shortly after getting it because they do get soggy but still yummy sandwiches
My wife and I stopped the Saint Sandwich Shop by on a Thursday afternoon around noon to pick-up a sandwich to-go and the restaurant was empty except for somebody dining in and a Door-dasher waiting to pick-up an order. The menu here is pretty extensive in terms of specialty sandwiches but we ultimately opted to share The Saint -- salami, ham, provolone, lettuce, sweet peppers, banana peppers, pickled onions, hot pepper & olive spread, garlic aioli, all on a sesame roll. The sandwich is stacked! Make sure you grab a few napkins at the counter before heading off with your to-go order because the sandwiches are quite messy to eat. I wouldn't wait too long to eat the sandwich either, as the dressing can make the bread soggy pretty quickly. The sandwich itself is perfectly balanced with its ratio of meats, cheese, and sauces. Every bite feels like you're discovering something new. If you're looking for a light lunch, sharing a whole sandwich along with a side of potato salad or macaroni salad is more than enough. I am definitely stopping by again to try some of their other sandwiches.
Sandwich not as good as Farmer Joe's - see pic. Bread hurt my teeth. Worst of all the old male taking orders who seems to hate his life is just nasty. Takes orders with as little information as possible and just rude. Live in the neighborhood - never going back and telling everyone in my neighborhood not to as well. No reason for nasty when you are taking my and others money. Music on way too loud also. Yuck.
Just tried this place for the first time for lunch this afternoon. I love how unique their sandwiches are so when I was looking through their menu, the curry chicken sandwich immediately caught my eye. I ordered it to go and I have to say, it's everything I thought it would be. I wish the sandwich bread they used was a roll so it would be easier to eat but other than that little gripe, I would happily eat here again. They also have unique chips to choose from to pair with your sandwich! I was in and out with my order in less than 10 minutes. Definitely give this place a try if you're craving sandwiches!
It's a crime that I didn't take a picture of my sandwich today, but it was so good that I just went into dreamland and forgot about everything else. I got the chicken curry salad sandwich. The best chicken curry salad I have ever had hands-down and I've had a lot. I think they put watercress in it, but I'm not sure. Just the right amount of sweet and savory. Texture was delectable and so tasty on the Acme sweet roll. I should have just eaten half of it, but I could not stop. Can't wait to have it again and I will take pictures next time. read more

This is a great addition to this block which basically doesn't have much in terms of shops or food. Cool sandwich shop with cool people. They have a few sandwiches that they crank out. Hey, why change what you do well right? Got their Bird sandwich which is basically turkey with avocado and some fixings ans found it to be tasty. The smell of the sandwiches from outside is mouthwatering, by the way! read more

Definitely a solid deli! Would I venture to say their sandwiches are the best in the East Bay? Certainly not. Ok's Deli is far better by comparison (considering both taste and price). Regardless, The Saint Sandwich Shop can still dish out a damn solid sandwich. My boyfriend and I shared a build your own sandwich and their flagship Saint (their take on an Italian). The ingredients were all fresh, but I liked the BYO turkey sandwich I had as I thought the Saint was a tad too salty. That's just a personal preference as my boyfriend liked the Saint marginally more. A nice plus is that all sandwiches come with the acclaimed Bay Area favorite, Acme bread. Aside from the food, I can also appreciate the dive-bar-esque and quirky interior (heck, there's even a retro video game table for the diners to entertain themselves with before receiving their meal). read more

Good sandwich but super rude dude at the counter. I told him the website wasn't taking orders and he dismissed me. Yet, here is the photo from the website. (below) I'd rather take my business elsewhere than be treated rudely - lots of better options in Oakland! read more

The only thing Saint sandwich shop offered Today was Discrimination with a smile I arrived 20mins before closing the man originally said they were still taking orders although they closed in 5 mins HE KEPT saying it repeatedly it made it sooooooo uncomfortable for me to order he was Extremely sarcastic when I asked about mine items so badly I changed my mind as I walked to the car a tall Oliver skin gentleman walked in not only did he take his order made it but also kept the doors open past what he claimed to be their store hours and turned music on !! So Sad I wouldn't place a cultural difference on this instance, but I think it rings very loudly I was encouraged to come here I work with a large medical agency that has catered with them in the past im sure they'd love to hear from this feedback as well .,,, side note I spoke with the handsome olive man I asked if he ordered ahead he said no he shared their was no push back for him to order he ordered with a breeze stated he only informed him that they were out of one type of bread. I waited outside to see if he would help the man and so I could conclude this honest review I won't play the race card, but I will say that they are absolutely rude !!! Please don't patronize read more

I've passed this place a dozens times thinking it was a bar. While on my way into the Food Mill, I noticed that there were a lot of construction workers and PG&E having lunch at the Saint, this is the sure sign that the food is legit tasty and probably have hearty portions. It's a low key set up with a bit of an old school 80's feel to it. No tchotchkes or farm to table decorations, it's simple and to the point. They have a counter, a couple of tables and sandwiches. I ordered the Saint ( husband ) and the Beast (me). Both were delicious with the right amount of savory, meat to bread ratio, cold fresh lettuce and a nice zip of tasty for each Sando. Perfect sandwich chemistry. This little area on MacArthur is a "Dimond" in the rough and I now dub thee my triangle of good eats. WaWa Thai to my left, the Food Mill for all my baking needs and now the best sandwich spot. Eat here. Thanks to the PG&e crew for the heads up on the places to eat, you don't know it, but I'm watching what you guys eat. read more

Go eat these amazing sandwiches! They're huge and absolutely delicious. I just finished half of their Chipotle Cubano special and decided the very next thing I needed to do was give these guys 5 stars. Great local business that makes incredible food. Happy to support The Saint! read more

So glad this place popped up not long after I moved into the area. Having a good deli near by is a treat, and I'm a sucker for an Italian combo, which they do very well. Their weekly specials are usually on point, and service is always very friendly. If you dine in, you can even pair your sandwich with a local beer or glass of wine. I might even have to stop by today! read more

This sandwich shop has been on my list for a while. It's not common to see an Italian-style hoagie in the SF Bay Area, and even rarer one that's good. Their version is called The Saint. I ordered ahead online and really glad I did. Coming from the South Bay 40 min away plus having tried to order the Sat prior and they sold out, I secured a sandwich despite a line to the door and packed tables. Seems like they usually sell out before their closing hours so recommend going early. There's a sign to the left of the cashier for pick up. I patiently waited there and the cashier soon noticed and gave me my to-go order. Easy in and out. Taste test: I liked the combo of the peppers for the acid and softness of the bread (sesame nice touch). I did find myself wanting more spread or olive oil/vinegar mix. Glad there wasn't the latter because I was transporting the sandwich, but I personally like more jus. I think most people will love this sandwich as-is. Would like to go back and try a sandwich on the pizza bianca bread. read more
