Quite possibly the best sandwich I've ever had and it was gluten free! From the moment I walked in, Juan welcomed me with a smile, recommended his favorite sandwich, and made sure my sammy/gluten-free bread came out perfectly. You can tell he genuinely cares about every sandwich he makes. What stood out most was Juan. He had me smiling and giggling the whole time I was there. The shop is in a busy part of the city(16th and mission), so all kinds of people come through. During my visit, a troubled man kept coming in and out, and I was genuinely impressed by how kind, patient, and respectful Juan was with him. It says a lot about the kind of person he is. He truly loves his community and it shows. I took my sandwich to the park, and after the first few bites I honestly wanted to walk back just to tell Juan how good it was. Like my mouth is still watering. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town. If you live nearby, you're lucky to have this place. read more

I came in on Thursday for a veggie sandwich and soup of the day, and left feeling known and fully at home. Best sandwich of my life, and as a professional dancer, that one sandwich was enough fuel for a full 6hr dance show day. I wasn't able to hit them up on Friday, and I had WAY less energy for my dance show. Their fresh bread, everything homemade, really makes the difference. I'll be going back every time I'm in the Mission. Best sandwich spot in the hood. read more

I don't even know where to start. Our group was in the area and none of us had eaten all day, we picked this place on a whim because it was close by and it did not disappoint. I think I genuinely had the best sandwich I've ever had in my life. The owner of the shop is the kindest and most entertaining person ever, he just wants you to have what your heart desires in a sandwich. The vibes were so warm and you can see the community and care he has built with all his regulars coming in. All of us left in high spirits and full tummies. Here's some photos of the chicken parm and a Philly chicken cheese steak. Don't miss out on this gem (or the pastrami, we tried it after we ordered and it was so good we all wished we had gotten it)! read more

Every time I've been to this place, it's been delicious & consistent. I never caught the owner's name but he's very generous with the community on Mission & makes you feel like you're at his house. He even opened up 30 minutes earlier than usual for me & my friends because he forgot to change the hours on here. I always get the Chorizo egg and cheese with lettuce, tomatoes, and banana peppers and it's always great. read more

There are so many sandwich places in San Francisco. Sandwich places are everywhere from the corner stores to delicatessens . There is one sandwich place which is the real sandwich place for decades in the San Francisco and is still open M-F ( Monday- Friday). The Sandwich Place on 16th street and Mission street has been a neighborhood favorite for decades from elementary to adulthood. The Sandwich Place ( not to be confused with the Sandwich Store) has been serving some good sandwiches from breakfast to lunch and has vegetarian options . I like going here for the lunch menu which is usually a hot pastrami sandwich and a delicious cold tuna sandwich. I got the savory Pastrami sandwich and it is still consistent to what I had over the years. The bread is soft and the warm pastrami is tender and tasty with melted provolone cheese and veggies for the crunch. There is limited seating outside which you can people watch and see some interesting things happening on Mission street. Come here for the sandwiches like the pastrami, tuna, and roast beef Go to the real Sandwich Place in San Francisco on Mission street and 16th read more

I won't be coming here any longer. It doesn't matter to me how good the food is. I'm not tolerating rude & egotistical behavior just for asking for a substitute for dairy. It's disappointing because I was excited to bring my partner here but the owner ruined our experience. I've been here about 3 times and the last time was an odd one. The first 2 times I came in alone, the owner was nice, a pretty loud person for it being like 8am but not that big of a deal. The last time, which was months ago but I vividly remember, I went in with my partner and we got different treatment. The owner was rude and condescending, especially to my partner who's a male. My partner tried to order a coffee and asked if they had some oatmilk cuz he doesn't drink dairy and he responded with "oatmilk? this isn't Starbucks. You can go to Starbucks for that". It was so rude and uncalled for. It's 2024, many people don't drink dairy, I don't either. All he could've said was "sorry no" but instead he chose to behave immaturely and treat us like we were stupid. Very poor customer service and rude business. Beware to not ask for a dairy substitute, or you'll be treated like you're stupid. read more

Now THAT, folks, is a good sammich. I went today following the Yelp reviews. I stood in a small line and instantly became amused at the guy behind the counter's bantering with customers (must be Juan?). When it was my turn I ordered a turkey and roast beef with everything. Glad he reminded me about jalapenos, which are mandatory in a good sammy. I went outside to the very limited seating on a warm December day and engulfed one of the better sandwiches I have ever had. Not sure why as I have had more than a few, but it is toasted perfectly, oozing with just the right amount of sauces and cheese and was just perfection. I am happy I found such a local favorite spot that seems to have been there forever and I will be returning for lunchtime sandos very often. read more

Juan is the goat. My friends and I arrived an hour early not knowing he opens later on Saturday and he still let us inside to order. Portion sizes and taste definitely justify the price making it affordable. Good food, good portions, good humor. What more do you need. Even with a mask you know he's smiling with his eyes! read more

In search of a breakfast near where we were staying, I stumbled across this gem. The neighborhood is not the best, BUT this sandwich was made with love. The owner was such a nice guy. When we came in he was giving sandwiches to a couple of homeless guys; people like that are rare these days. I don't know if I'll ever be back, but I would support this business every day if I could. read more

Hidden gem on 16th n Mission. This man really puts all of his love and effort into his craft. What makes this place stand out from the other sandwich shops: He makes his own sourdough, prices are very reasonable, special sauces and condiments are made in house, theres only one guy running the joint putting together the sandwhiches up front and one person in the kitchen area cooking the ingredients as orders are being put in, its been there for over 45 years! Hes got a great personality and an awesome staff! read more

What a gem of a place!!!! Downloaded the Yelp app just to leave a review! The owner is so so friendly!!! Great customer service and interaction! The pastrami sandwich we had was truly top notch! We just told him to make it the way he would eat it and it didn't disappoint at all!!! The bread was super fresh and baked to perfection. All of the ingredients were fresh and the pastrami was juicy and tender. We will definitely go back to this place next time we want a great sammy! Don't sleep on this place! Other restaurant owners should strive to produce a customer experience like this! read more

I came here on the way to Dolores Park. It's right next to the 16th Street BART Station! I didn't look at the menu beforehand, but I ordered the regular avocado and bacon sandwich. The man making my sandwich was very friendly, and he packed the sandwich with veggies, sauce and bacon. The bacon is thick and crispy at the same time and provided so much flavor. Would definitely recommend for anyone in the area! read more

I love this place, not only are the sandwhiches incredible (made in house, everything from spreads, to the bread!) this man is not only passionate about serving his customers, but hes a man of the community and carrying on his family's legacy of operating this business for 45 + years! A ma & pop shop in sf let alone the Mission is a rare thing to come by these days! Its small, but its the best dang to go sandwhich shop you'll ever visit. It'll leave you with a warm memory of how this guy was personable and you'll thank yourself later for going to 16th n mission just to try his sandwhiches! My go to are the breakfast ones and the hot dogs! Doesnt miss a beat! read more

Huge and delicious sandwiches! The owner Juan is a bundle of wisecracking energy - such a fun guy and you can tell that lots of folks are regulars. The Sandwich Place now joins Roxy Food Center and Deli Board on my list of best sandwiches in SF. Be warned that there is little seating and zero atmosphere. Grab your sandi and head to Delores Park like we did! read more

Oh my thou-shall-not-use-thy-Lord's-name-in-vain!!! I was so impressed with the sandwiches and service that I had to leave a review as soon as I finished scarfing down my lunch. 1) Sandwiches: We ordered the Sophie's Delight (veggie sandwich with portobello mushrooms, roasted bell pepper, cheese, tomatoes, red onion, fresh basil and sun dried tomato Mayo. My vegetarian boyfriend was like Mmmmm after the first bite, he insisted for me to take a bite to try it too. I had The Deluxe which is a Turkey sandwich with cheese, avocado, tomato, lettuce and CRISPY bacon. I was very happy with mine and the ingredients were portioned very well and balanced. Everything tasted so fresh! I loved that the bread pulls apart when I bite into it. 2) Service: I called in the order and the gentleman who answered the phone was enthusiastic, quick and efficient. When I arrived, he saw me hop out of my double parked car (boyfriend was driving). He assumed correctly who I was and got my order ready before I even made it to the counter. He said he noticed I'm double parked and will quickly get me sorted so that I don't get a ticket. Quick and efficient...if you know me, you know I appreciate efficiency!! He (wish I got his name) was thoughtful and friendly. As soon as I got back into the car, my boyfriend said "whoa that was quick!" This was my first visit to The Sandwich Place. It's a lot better than the overpriced $16 bougie sandwiches we bought nearby last weekend. Bougie doesn't always mean better!! We are already talking about this being our go-to sandwich spot in that area. Will be back FOR SURE! read more

I ordered pastrami; they gave me hot pastrami, and the sauce inside the sandwich was oversoaking the bread until every bite started to taste like hot mayo. Yuck, I may be traumatized after eating here or any pastrami sandwich in general since it is not one of my favorite sandwiches to begin with; in all fairness, they probably do make good sandwiches, just not this one, not for me anyway. The service was almost below decent; I can tell they get tired quickly working here; this is why people should invest in massages to relax their bodies before putting your repuation on the line. The ambiance is massive city vibes with people endlessly walking in and out for a filthy street sandwich. read more
