The bartender Olivia wanted to see my cat and told her manager Jessica. I was shocked because I thought they were going to kick me out since most places don't have animals unless you have a rescue animal tag.They welcomed Me and Siti with love besides having awesome sandwiches and drinks with the 420 vibe! Raven brought my sandwich out real quick with great customer service. This place rocks and I'll definitely come back with my cat.

A large venue with full bar and garage door style walls that open for that indoor/outdoor concept. Indoor as well as patio dining is available. They offer a wide variety of specialty subs that are DELISH! I have only had the "5.0" (all meats of pork) with everything on it plus honey mustard and their jalapeño cilantro humus added...AMAZING! Customer service is AMAZING, vibe is AMAZING, and food is AMAZING! I've had their subs to go and not gotten around to eat it until about 1 1/2 hours later, and the bread still wasn't soggy! THAT SPEAKS VOLUME to the quality of bread they use for their sandwiches! I was NOT A FAN of their Kool-Aid it definitely lacked sweetness! DEFINITELY a spot to hit if you are in La Mesa!

They had a wide variety of free refill drinks that were very good as well. The owner was the only person working when we were there around 6:00 on a Wednesday night. He was attentive, outgoing, accommodating and friendly. He made us feel like family. The restaurant and the bathroom was clean and neat. I liked the Al Capone era pictures on the walls. And the "Cheers" vibe with the set up and decor was nice as well. All in all I loved the experience eating there and will definitely be back and will tell others to check them out.

I ordered the Al Capone on a torta, and my boyfriend got the chicken club on wheat. Both sandwiches were pretty good, the torta was very soft and fluffy, maybe a little too much bread for me, but still very good. The chicken on the club was flavorful. Both the Mac salad and potato salad are basic, but solid, you get a little 2 oz container with your sandwich. I'll definitely be back to try something else on the menu in the future. My only gripe is that the parking is very limited, likely since it's located within the local apartment complex. We had to park down the road and walk over to get to the shop.

There was 2 people behind the counter and one other customer, one cleaning up and one asked if I was ready.

I didn't catch his name but the receipt said: server:Carlos. He is definitely an asset to this Company! Keep up the good work here and I'll definitely be back!

The parking was adequate and the eating area was large, well lit, and inviting. I also got to speak with the owner himself.

I hear the sandwiches were good, so maybe just stick to that. It is a deli after all. Service: normal, fine, no complaints. Ambiance: you can hear the kitchen fan, and then you also have music. The place was perfectly clean. Menu: there's a lot going on there. If you tend to get visually overwhelmed, maybe look up the menu before coming in. This is why I got a salad to begin with. Two stars because I didn't really get what I paid for, the chicken.

When you see the entire store front packed with City Workers enjoying their meals...IT'S A MUST TO STOP AND TRY THEIR FOOD! That speaks volume in itself! I just love "MOM AND POP" locations! I believe this shop is a mother and son ran operation and they are an amazing duo dishing out amazing subs for reasonable prices! Watch out other sandwich chains out there cause Grove Grinder IS WHERE IT'S AT!!!! They have been in business since 1972...NUFF SAID! I ordered the Ann Special with everything on it. They do not skimp on meat and the proportion of bread to meat to veggie ratio is spot on! A full size sandwich is enough to feed two people easily or one very hungry person. I did not try any of their side items or large selection of root beer drink options to choose from but, I will be back many more times to try all they offer! Thank you Grove Grinder for amazing eats and allowing me to snap all my photos of your small shop for my review! If in Lemon Grove, show some love to Grove Grinder and grab you one of their amazing affordable, delicious subs...YOUR WELCOME IN ADVANCE!

I went for the first time two weeks ago, where I had a turkey bacon, avocado sub as well as the potato salad. Despite getting half a sandwich, it was huge! I was able to take home half a sandwich and most of the salad for later. The inside is very dated but in the best way possible it feels like you're coming into a family owned business that's been around longer than most of us have been alive. I love sitting on the right hand side of the building where they have a couple tables and seeing all the vintage items they have out. I can't believe I've lived in lemon Grove more than half my life and I've never been here. But I will certainly be frequenting more often. :)

Cashiers were all nice and can even let you know what you might like. Place was clean and my drink was out as soon as I was done paying.

I wasn't expecting anything crazy, just a solid banh mi, and that's exactly what I got. Continuing…read moredown University Ave, I stopped by Lee's Sandwiches. It's in a big plaza so parking is never really an issue. It's a chain banh mi spot, but one thing I will say is they stay open later than most local banh mi places, so if you're coming home late and craving one, this is probably where you're going. The left side is a drink cooler with various drinks and grab and go desserts. There are menus on multiple screens, ads everywhere, and it's just very busy on the eyes. Then on the right side you have the drink station and seating. If I'm being honest, I would not sit inside unless I had to. There is a shared patio outside in the plaza though and if the weather is nice, I would 100% take my food out there instead. Most of the tables inside were kind of dirty with crumbs and the trash was full, so it just made the space feel a little unkept. I waited in line and the cashier was very sweet. I ordered a strawberry tea and asked if I could adjust the sweetness, but since the sweetness comes from the syrup it would also change the flavor, so I just kept it as is. I also got the #11 special combination banh mi and asked for extra cilantro because if you know, you know. They take your order, you sit, and they call it out. I waited maybe 10 minutes, drink came out first, sandwich right after. The strawberry tea surprised me. I really thought it was going to be super sweet but it was more like a 6 out of 10 on sugar. Once the ice melted a bit it got even better. It tasted fresh, fruity, not artificial, and there were actual strawberry pieces in there. I really liked it and would get it again. Now the sandwich. It was solid. Not mind blowing, not the best I've had, but it did exactly what I wanted it to do. The bread was fresh with a nice crunch but not too hard. There was a good amount of mayo and pate, the meats were flavorful, and everything just worked. The pickled carrots and daikon could've had more crunch, they were a little soft, but the flavor was there and helped balance everything out. They do add soy sauce and you can definitely taste it. I'm not the biggest fan of that so I'd probably ask for no soy sauce next time, but that's just me. Also when I ask for extra cilantro... I mean EXTRA, because I felt like what I got was just a normal amount. Overall, really solid. Good sandwich, really good tea, and a spot I can see myself coming back to especially since they're open later than most places. It might not be the best banh mi in the area, but it gets the job done when you need it.
