    not good. abc wrap. cheap ingredients. cheese didn't help with the flavor, really nice customer service though.

    S3. Bomb Sandwich
    Tim B.

    Unique Sandwiches is great. It's a good to place to go if you work nearby. Their sandwiches all taste very high quality. My favorite one to get is the bomb, I love the cream cheese and bacon in it. They also have other interesting options depending on the daily special. The workers are always very friendly and it's usually pretty quick. The inside is nice too.

    So much meat delicious!!!

    Second review this time it's a bust! I tried a BLT and ordered it with extra mayo and guess what I got more mustard in it. The bacon was overcooked and hard. I paid 12.00 for mostly bread and lettuce. I even asked for extra pickle and got nothing. I had to go back and got handed a tiny slice of pickle spear. My last sandwich was so good I don't know what happened here, but I won't be ordering another BLT.

    excellent!

    Service was excellent and quick too! Nice place to relax/wait while getting your car fixed (@Tae Automotive) and at the same time a great place to get sandwiches. I decided to dine outside and it was nice that one of the employees came out to check if I needed anything else. Their sandwiches are simple and very delicious! Kinda the home comfort feel. I had the "unique special" sandwich on rye bread.

    Egg Salad sandwich.  So good!!
    Theresa N.

    Great sandwiches at decent prices. I think they are family-owned too. They also have daily specials and have a good variety on their menu. Four stars because their egg salad sandwiches are supposed to have bacon in them, but as of late it seems that is no longer the case. However, their menu description and price still reflects that.

    hair in S6. Club Sandwich ‍
    Arianna A.

    not from around the area but my partner and I were hungry so we ordered online to pick up. not only are these sandwiches expensive but my partner's sandwich had a hair in it! we didn't notice until we got home to eat so nothing left to do except to come and leave a review. very disappointed to have spent over $20 just for it to not be edible.

    Chicken Caesar Wrap
    Heihachiro K.

    Mediocre deli, but it was worth a try! The staff was all Asian (like me), and I'm guessing they were family owned. They just have your typical American deli sandwiches. Nothing unique here! Lol Chicken Caesar Wrap - Exactly what it sounds like. It was fresh and crisp and hit the spot. Tuna Sandy on Rye - Not bad, tuna was made that day. Fresh. *Good parking *Reasonably priced

    Here for the first time & I ordered the double club. My toast was burnt :(
    Maryrose M.

    My double club had burnt toast & ended up being too crunchy. It just crumbled as I picked it up :(

    Coming back to send my love to my favorite sub place…read more I've sadly moved to a different part of town so Fatboy's is no longer a few blocks away. I still try to stop by every few months as this place holds a special place in my heart. A no frills spot. Solid and consistent. To the point but friendly customer service. Fantastic drink, chip and snack selection. Sandwiches are always bomb asf. The hot momma and BLT loaded up is my favorite. My husband still loves their Ruben (it is his favorite place to get it.) You get a small potato or macaroni salad on the side with a pickle (perfect crunch.) I personally think it's a great little add on. Their chili is also simple but delicious. I personally think their chili pairs perfectly with any of their sandwiches. It's not a heavy thick chili. Which is why I think it pairs so well. I won't lie it's a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. It's loaded up and good quality. I never feel gross or overly bloated after eating here. I will be coming back to Fatboy's until I move out of San Diego or die. lol. One of my favorite gems in SD. Always will be worth the drive or walk. Thank you for always delivering even years later.

    Street parking only, some metered some free w/2 hour limit. Walk in and order at the deli counter…read more Pay at the register and pick up next to the register. They have signs that say 'order' and 'pick up'. Each sandwich comes with a pickle and either Mac salad or potato salad. This is a grab and go place, small exterior seating. Was quoted 15 mins but it was done in about 5. Lots of interesting chip and drink flavors sold here. Tried: North Park Club on sourdough $15.99 - the sourdough was amazing. Get it toasted! Brought the sandwich home and it was still good and not soggy. Pickle spear was good. Can't rate the potato salad cus I'm not really a fan but it was a little crunchy. This is a must try. Avoid other deli's in north park area. This one was less expensive and tasted better! I'll be back.

    Captain's Log, Stardate 21509.7…read more This past Friday I set my course for Did Z Akins in La Mesa -- a roadside star on I‑8 that my crew and I had passed a thousand times but never boarded. At long last we beamed down, and the experience surpassed every expectation. From the moment we entered, the atmosphere felt like coming home to a welcoming starbase. The staff treated us with genuine warmth and patience as we navigated a menu full of storied classics. Their attentive service turned a simple meal into a memorable mission. My first officer aka wife enjoyed a superbly composed salad, and chose the Turkey Club -- both delivered with thoughtful care. I began with the biscuits and gravy, a traditional hit that tasted like comforting shore leave. But the true highlight was the patty melt: perfectly seared, with lush caramelized onions and melted cheese that achieved harmony at warp speed. It was, without hyperbole, the best patty melt I've encountered in this quadrant. Each bite was a cascade of flavor that felt like discovering a thriving new world. This kitchen knows how to respect ingredients and execute classics flawlessly. No extra condiments were necessary -- the craftsmanship spoke for itself. DZ Akins is now a plotted course for every future convoy through I‑8. Highly recommended for anyone seeking honest, stellar diner fare and service that treats you like family among the stars. Captain 619, stay salty my friends!

    This place is one of the top 5 best sandwich shops in San Diego hands down. They also serve salads,…read moresoups, and some awesome sides. I heard they're going to start serving beer and wine soon as well! *Best 1st-timer options*: The Keeper (if you like it spicy) or the L.G.B.T. My favorite hot sandwiches are the Cali Cubano, B3, and The Keeper, while my favorite cold sandwiches are the Avocado Highway, L.G.B.T. (lettuce, gouda, bacon, tomato), and Caprese. My favorite salads are the Grapevine and Duck Cranberry. For sides I recommend the potato salad and tomato basil bisque. The aioli they use is to die for -- can't hurt to get a side of it with any sandwich! The restaurant is situated on the corner of Park Blvd. and Polk Ave. (more generally, it's on the strip of Park Blvd. between University Ave. and El Cajon Blvd.). There is usually a good amount of parking on Park Blvd. and Polk Ave., which is nice. The space has a simple-yet-tasteful modern design and interior, is always clean, with friendly and helpful staff. Great for lunch hour or a weekend date. Update: Came back today with my friend and we ordered the B3 and the Turkey & Cheddar Mousse sandwiches, plus sides of potato salad and cucumber salad, and a double chocolate cookie with pistachio and sea salt. Everything was really good, but the Turkey & Cheddar Mousse sandwich was the star of the show. The cookie was great too. We both agreed the potato salad could use some salt, but besides that it was a solid meal all around.

    Big Front Door has quickly become a new favorite for sandwiches, and visiting two days in a row…read moremade that very clear. On the first visit, Zack provided exceptional care and attention while helping navigate food allergies. Zack took the time to carefully check ingredients, double-check preparations, and personally come back out to verify everything to ensure safety. That level of care made the experience feel genuinely welcoming and stress-free. The chicken sandwich was fresh, satisfying, and thoughtfully balanced. Juicy chicken, ripe tomatoes, creamy avocado, and a bright splash of oil and vinegar came together beautifully on Big Front Door's roll, which had a great texture and held everything together well. The flavors were clean and vibrant. A little extra salt would have pushed it over the top for a salt-lover, but that came down to personal preference rather than any shortcoming. A dining companion ordered the avocado sandwich and could not stop raving about it, praising both the flavor and the freshness. The outdoor seating area deserves special mention. The shaded space was perfect as I do have sun allergies, especially for anyone who prefers relief from direct sun. The care taken in food preparation added an extra layer of comfort and trust. The second visit somehow raised the bar even higher. Micah went above and beyond to accommodate physical ability needs with patience, attentiveness, and genuine kindness. That effort did not go unnoticed and made the experience feel deeply respectful and inclusive. The roasted chicken sandwich ordered on the second visit was phenomenal. The roasted chicken was tender, savory, and full of depth, elevating the sandwich even further. Adding a bit of extra salt brought all the ingredients into perfect harmony, making every bite more satisfying than the last. This sandwich has officially earned a spot as a new favorite sandwich. Big Front Door was amazing not just for delicious, thoughtfully prepared food, but for the people who work there. Zack and Micah created an environment where care, kindness, and respect were clearly prioritized. No moment felt rushed, dismissive, or uncomfortable. At no point did anyone make the experience feel like a burden or inconvenience. A sincere thank-you also goes to the team members who prepared the food. Even without knowing names, the care taken to keep guests safer while serving delicious nourishment was evident and deeply appreciated. Big Front Door comes highly recommended for the flavorful sandwiches, the shaded outdoor space, the welcoming atmosphere, outstanding customer service, and the genuine kindness shown at every action.

    I have been coming here forever. It is not cheap but the quality of everything here is fantastic…read more This is a real butcher shop. There aren't many left in San Diego. Other than its sister store, Iowa Meat Farms, Tip Top Meats in Carlsbad (yes, they have returned), and the Wise Ox, also in Carlsbad, there are hardly any real butcher shops around. But these guys know what they are doing. Try their burgers and meatloaf. They are easy to cook at home. Try their steaks. You can get a legitimately excellent steak here for a fraction of what you would pay at a steakhouse and it will be BETTER than the steakhouse version. Make sure you ask the counter guys to season it for you before they wrap it up. Try their freshly-made sandwiches. Make sure you try their beans behind the deli counter. Their pimento dip in the refrigerated area is legendary and more addictive than crack (or so I have read). They have interesting sodas, craft beers, different mustards, El Indio chips, fresh breads, and a small but very well-curated wine selection. Is there anything they do not do well here? "No," is the answer to that question. They do everything well here. They have their own parking lot but it fills up quickly. There is not much other parking in the area. In the past, I have walked several blocks away in the residential neighborhood to get to the store when there is no parking available. And it was worth it.
