BEST. CAESAR. SALAD. EVER!!! Seriously, though, I've had their sandwiches here and while I haven't been a big fan of them, I have enjoyed their salads more. My favorite has been a classic Caesar salad made with grilled chicken Their Caesar salad, in my opinion, is better than the one at Lure's or even Social Tap. Service is great and swift, in my opinion. I've been here more than 10 times (I work nearby). I've taken my 15 minute breaks to order and it won't even be 10 minutes before my order is ready (every order is different and takes their own time to make). If you eat inside, it doesn't look as welcoming and comfortable, but my understanding is that the place looks like that maybe because the food is cheaper than most places. If the food is sold at a really affordable price, then some of the money from those sales can't go to operational costs because there's not enough, then I can understand and respect that. I'd rather eat food sold at a not-so good looking place than spend over the average cost of food just to eat at a place that has a renovated dining area. All the workers have been really nice to me, so I do appreciate that. I'll be back again for another salad soon read more

Any time I see a Reuben sandwich on a menu, I'm in. That's exactly what I ordered, and it was... not bad. First off, the pastrami was super tender, had a good smoky edge to it, and was sliced thin enough to soak up the flavor from everything else going on. The Swiss cheese was melted all the way through, dripping over the sides, and the thousand island dressing brought it all together. The sauerkraut had just enough tang without being overpowering, and the bread was grilled nice and golden, held up well without getting soggy. For $13, they definitely could've been more generous with the meat and fillings. If they had just doubled everything, it could've been killer. But it still worked. The place itself isn't winning any awards for cleanliness or style, but for a quick one-time stop, I wasn't mad about it. If you're into Reubens, this one's worth a try. Just know it leans more toward decent than stacked. read more

DO NOT GET THE FACTORY SCRAMBLE... by far the worst meal i've ever endured. From the soggy spinach to the seasonless/overseasoned beef, not only does it hurt your tummy, but it tastes like dog water. p.s. Who drenches their taco in barbecue sauce??? read more

Its such a shame because they are in a prime location. I was starving for breakfast and there is usually no choice to go but McDonalds around here. Went in and ordered an egg sandwich with a coffee for almost 15 bucks and it was absolutely disgusting, threw that away and tried the coffee, which was burnt tasting, so I dumped it. I don't know how they can't figure out why they have no customers. read more

No frills eatery. I had a turkey bacon avocado sandwich, it was a good sandwich. Paid less than $12 for a sandwich and a bag of chips All the little signs made of cheap poster board are tacky. Tables aren't wiped often. Very dated interior, I mean pink ceiling tiles? read more

Not be out of menu items, not take 20 minutes to prepare a salad, have nicer music. Apparently under new ownership and needs improvement in a big way. read more

I ordered the Cesar salad and I was not impressed. I honestly don't know if I would come here again. The foods pricey. They charge you for refills. All in all just wasn't happy with this place. read more

My fiancé got the eggs, English muffin, bacon, and O'Brien potatoes. He said it was good. The main reason we gave it a three instead of a higher score is because of the lack of cleanliness. We had to go to several tables before we found one that was clean. Also, several. chairs are ripped. I think it's time to replace the chairs. I'm probably just nit-picking. I got the oatmeal which is good but I wouldn't recommend. It was advertised as having brown sugar and raisins. They had neither. So overall, the place worked in a pinch but we won't be running back anytime soon. read more

Like many that frequent this restaurant, I am a working professional with an office close by. Today I placed an order for pick up, and sent my (Hispanic) shop manager to pick up my order. I was horrified to learn that upon his arrival the staff initially refused to serve him my sandwich because of mistaken identity. Apparently, a DIFFERENT Hispanic man had been into this establishment and not provided payment for his order. The staff went so far as to pull up surveillance video, showing other members of staff while pointing at my employee and arguing over whether or not he was the same person. ALL WHILE MY EMPLOYEE WAS STANDING THERE - STILL TRYING TO RETRIEVE MY SANDWICH (Mediocre, by the way) Terrible and very bizarre way to treat people! Especially customers!! PS I saw the video, and other than it being a Hispanic man who shared same goatee- no resemblance. read more

The sandwich was served on stale bread not a bun, with pressed turkey loaf, with one strip of bacon. But the service was even worse. The cashier knew absolutely nothing. She came out three times to look at the menu board. I was charged for two sodas and the bathroom was absolutely filthy as well as the outdoor tables. The lights were not on in the dining room read more

I usually come here when I'm in a rush and don't want to break my bank account. They usually don't disappoint though. Plus they're not stingy with the amount they give too. I ordered: Breakfast burrito which usually comes with potato, eggs, cheese and choice of meat. I chose ham and added bacon as well causes I just like the extra crunch. It's served with some pico de gallo in a cup. I love there Tuna sandwich from here too with fries! read more

This was a week day after the lunch hour rush. Was getting my car worked on in Ventura and afterward I stopped in to order a Ruben with extra sauerkraut to go. I requested no Thousand Island dressing, add mustard instead. For the side I picked the homemade potato salad to eat while waiting for the sandwich and it was good. Lady at the front was nice but had to translate back to the guy at the grill. Another fellow comes in 10 minutes after me and orders a hot sandwich. A woman orders after him so we are all waiting and his comes out first then her order is handed over. I walk back over to the register and ask what's the deal? She starts asking the cooks and they produce a Ruben. She boxes it up and I move to the side for a look-see. It is a Ruben but no extra sauerkraut and with Thousand Island on the sandwich plus a side of mustard. I send it back and she has to explain to the cook what the order was and shows him the ticket she wrote. Another 5-7 minutes and she calls me up. I look at the sandwich she is boxing up and it has white bread instead of Rye. I look at the menu and point out that it lists a Reuben on toasted Rye bread. I've been there almost 20 minutes waiting a on To-Go sandwich. She turns around and starts yelling at the cooks in another language, so I walk out, get in my car and leave. Headed to Wienerschnitzel on Ventura Road for a Chicago Dog that was ready in 30 seconds. read more

This place is horrible. I wanted to try it out, but I was very disgusted when I got my food. I ordered the tri-tip sandwich and when I ate it, it felt like I was eating just a veggie sandwich. The flavor was unacceptable to my taste buds. And I quickly regretted my decision to give this place a try the place is dirty and you can tell that no effort is made to keep it nice and clean. The food looks fresh, but the looks are deceiving because the flavor is horrible. To anyone who wants to give this place a try I humbly advise you not to please trust me. Your pockets will thank me later. read more

I'm actually sitting here at the Sandwich Factory writing this review and kind of staring at what's on the plate trying to decide whether or not I should take a bite of this Reuben sandwich... I've driven by here at least 100 times, and at the moment I'm walking around waiting on My car to be finished at another establishment local to here... I've heard of the place more than once, and I certainly can't remember anything negative being said about it, and the fact is I'm STARVING... And now I've just gotten up to walk up to the counter and see if perhaps my ex-wife was back there in the kitchen... That could explain whatsitting here on the plate, but no, I don't see her... Alright, I took two bites the first one as a test and the second one just because maybe I wasn't ready for the flavor and texture... Wow... unfortunately it is nasty as it looks... i've been disappointed before in life but this isn't just disappointment this is very possibly the worst Reuben sandwich in existence on the planet... Heck I bet you couldn't find a nastier one in the entire universe. I can see now why the place isn't crowded in the middle of a very large semi industrial complex right at lunchtime. read more

We had never been here before. We had a scramble, an De Monterrey omelette, a lemonade and coffee for $25.00. The Monterrey omelette clearly states salsa is an ingredient, yet I was charged .75 more when I asked for the salsa. Service is service...no kindness shown. I see that more and more in Ventura with how servers treat customers. Food is served with plastic utensils, plastic containers with salsa, creamers, jams, straws, styrofoam to-go containers...not good for our environment. You order at the counter. It's easier to read the printed menu as opposed to the handwritten menu items scattered around the register and walls. Restrooms are clean. Food was not bad, but not remarkable either. Denny's is likely better in my honest opinion. Not many people there on a Tuesday for breakfast. It is a sandwich place, so maybe sandwich making is their forte. Hill Street Cafe and Arts Corner are about the same in price and both their menu items, food quality, and service are very remarkable. read more

Ordered Nachos and the chips were stale, had no flavor. Chicken sandwich was rubbery, could only eat half.

food is great here. Service was awesome. very friendly. never disappointing a few gnat problems but doors were open

Good sandwiches. Friendly staff. Call ahead if you are going during the busy lunch hour.

The "Sandwich Factory's "ownership should reconsider its branding. Should we feature sandwiches or Mexican cuisine? At least untill one is of quality. I ordered a Turkey sandwich even though I felt like walking out as soon as a walked through the doors . I could tell by the ambiance the sandwich would be less than satisfactory. I took two bites of my slimy and sloppy sandwich, asked for a to go box and gave it to an unhoused person. read more

I had always seen this restaurant in the Market St. area of Ventura and decided to stop by and give it a try. After checking out the menu, I decided on a chicken salad sandwich and also gave the Italian sub a try. The chicken salad sandwich was my least favorite of the two. The chicken was a little hard like it was part of a rotisserie that had been sitting there for a while, and the flavor was bland; 2/5 for that. The Italian sandwich was the better of the two, but still left a lot to desire; 3/5. The potato salad that came with them was fresh and tasty, but could've used a little more seasoning. I probably won't return, but glad I gave this spot a try either way. read more

I've never been here before, I just happened to be in the area and found it while I was looking for coffee. I ordered the chicken panini sandwich and a coffee and it was really good! The bread was somewhat falling apart but the flavor was great as and the macaroni salad that I chose as a side was also good. All in all, I spent $16.05 for a sandwich, side and coffee. Pretty good deal, I'll be back! read more

Could there have been a more horrendous eating experience at the Sandwich Factory? No! Yes my husband's pastrami was ok but my $12 3 rib meal wasn't fit for my dog! The top layer of each rib was hard, burnt & inedible. It now seems they were possibly aware it was overcooked but sold them anyway. I told them I wasn't going to review them but decided that wasn't fair to future diners. So, diners beware. PS, The accompanying beans with my meal were gross, almost old looking & blah. Question if they even bothered to use pinto beans which are usually traditional. Since my husband's sandwich was edible they get 2 stars. read more

Ive been tempted to try this place as I recently looked it up and had some good and bad reviews. Well the place is big alot of room for dining but very quiet. As I approach my order i waited within 8 min I received my order but once i opened it and grabbed a french fry it seemed as its been sitting and not as fresh was a bit warm and cold not freshly upon order. The amount of bacon was little and was hoping for a decent amount of items. Ill double think about this place if I decide to get a meal. read more

Place was not clean and the food didn't smell good and had no flavor. I won't be going back. The lady was nice though.

Tried it last week and been back four days straight trying something new each time!! For the price it's amazing. Had the burgers, breakfast burritos, sandwichs, and chili cheese fries. The chili cheese fries are like a whole meal so be careful. Burgers were my favorite out of what I tried and the menu is really big. Can't wait to go back. If you're looking for a good place to grab a bite and not sure what you want this will hit the spot! Especially if you're tired of eating all the same ol' same ol' fast food that's in Ventura. And be sure to try their "Thirsty" sauce it's freaking amazing! read more

I do not recommend. Stopped by to pick up lunch. Ordered and Turkey Swiss croissant and fries. When I arrived back to work to eat it was a disappointment. My sandwich had nothing to it. There were literally two slices of deli turkey, tomatoes were sliced too thick, the appearance of the Swiss cheese looked as if it had been sitting in moisture and the avocado that I paid extra for was missing. Fries were undercooked and VERY salty. They do charge for a side of ranch however the it tasted like sour cream soup (runny). I will not go back. read more

Our food today was ok but I was sitting with a view of the kitchen and noticed a cockroach crawling around. It didn't do much for my appetite. read more

Such an utter disappointment. I just left this place and got home to open my sandwich box. I walked in and the young blonde girl working the counter looks at me 5 times with zero acknowledgement that I'm ever there. Makes me wait qlmoat 5 minutes then finally takes my order. I paid $20 plus tip for 2 Italian sandwiches that were basically nothing but bread. Got a side of Mac salad that was on a broken container that spilled all over the bottom of the bag. My buddy that ate the other Mac salad let me have a bite. It was nothing but unflavored raw macaroni. Disgusting. If you like good food, don't eat here. If you like good service, don't eat here. If you don't like wasting money, don't eat here. Basically, don't eat here. read more

The Sandwich Factory - Italian sandwich?! What a joke!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Ventura, California

I ordered a half-turkey sandwich. It's a few dollars cheaper to order a half- instead of a whole sandwich, which was nice. When I asked the young girl about getting a half-, she got a bit pissy and said there were only certain sandwiches that could be halved. That's fine, but how could I tell which ones could be and which ones couldn't be? There wasn't anything on the menu board to tell which is which. When I challenged her and said, "Well which sandwiches CAN be halved?" she came back with "approving" me to get only a few certain ones. That was her exact word, "approving". Very odd. My sandwich was fine. The French Fries were very good. Their Ranch is basic. Pretty big place inside and lots of places to sit. Even had some outside seating. I'm not sure if I'll come back or not. Nothing stood out to me as any reason to bring my business here again. In total: Meh. read more
