    Deli Board

    SoMa

    Try the 49er: one diner named it their favorite among three sandwiches, and another included it among their favorites.

    1. Best sandos are at the Deli board

    2. -a big sandwich- Saigon sandwich, deli board, Lous, oink and Oscar, dolores deluxe or Rheas

    3. Deli Board on Folsom street. Huge pastrami brisket sandwiches are amazing, have long lines though don’t show up past 1p. If I were you, I’d go early when they open at 11a. Close Mondays. to-o go only. Average cost of a sandwich is $22

    Worth knowing

    • Multiple commenters raised availability concerns; one reported "Looking for a good sandwich that delivers since deli board doesn’t!" (branch unspecified).
    • Multiple commenters raised price and value concerns; one reported "I totally wanted to not like it because it was $24." (branch unspecified).

    Saigon Sandwich

    Tenderloin

    Try the classic pâté bánh mì, recommended as a lunch order.

    1. Tofu Banh mi at saigon sandwich in the tl

    2. I think bahn mi from Saigon Sandwich would hold up pretty well overnight and wouldn’t be that messy to eat on a bus

    3. Saigon Sandwich's tofu is so, so tasty, but I'm not sure the sandwich is vegetarian.

    Worth knowing

    • Multiple commenters raised the setting concerns; one reported "it's not a neighborhood you want to hang out in." (branch unspecified).
  3. 3

    Devil's Teeth Bakery

    Try the breakfast biscuit sandwich; it draws repeated recommendations, though one reviewer found it dry.

    1. Devil's Teeth is pretty bangin for breaky sammy

    2. Breakfast sandwich on a biscuit, BLT is pretty incredible + all the pastries 🙂 then can walk over and eat on ocean beach.

    3. then, you can keep hiking and walking around if you dig that, or go back to your car and drive to either devil’s teeth (breakfast sandwiches) or the laundromat (bagels)— they’re right next to each other so you can decide while you’re there based on vibes.

    Worth knowing

    • Multiple commenters raised texture concerns; one reported "My biggest gripe about the Devil's Teeth sandwich is that its dry." (branch unspecified).
    • Multiple commenters raised price and value concerns; one reported "that is way too much for that sandwich" (source scope: Embarcadero One or out near Ocean Beach).

    Molinari Deli

    North Beach

    Try the hot eggplant Parmesan sandwich on Dutch crunch with fresh mozzarella and basil; one diner praised its crisp breading and texture.

    1. I'd also suggest taking their Molinari sandwich to Vesuvio (they 100% allow food to be brought in, I used to work there) and enjoy your sandwich with a couple of pints.

      I would second Molinari over Freddie's … I'd also suggest taking their Molinari sandwich to Vesuvio (they 100% allow food to be brought in, I used to work there) and enjoy your sandwich with a couple of pints.

    2. You got the two best sandwiches at Molinari IMO, followed by the chicken parm.

    3. If you want classic deli sandwich, Molinari's or Luca's.

  5. 5

    Palm City

    Outer Sunset

    Try the roast beef or roast pork hoagie; one recommendation singles out both.

    1. I chose palm city and got the shrimp salad hoagie, it was fantastic!

    2. Other options are the overpriced subs from Palm City (pretty good, but spendy).

    3. Palm City!

    Sandy’s

    Upper Haight

    At the Haight location, try the mushroom muffuletta; one reviewer specifically praised the roasted-mushroom version.

    1. Sandy's for muffalettas

    2. Sandy’s in the Upper Haight specializes in muffulettas, and is excellent. They also do a roasted mushroom version that’s great, along with everything else I’ve tried on their (small) menu.

    3. If you are in the Haight area, go to Sandy’s for New Orleans style muffulettas.

  7. 7

    Lou’s

    At the 25th and Taraval location, the Tuna Melt and Kickin’ Roast Beef are recommended options.

    1. lou's sandwich for lunch

    3. Grab some sandwiches from Lou's for lunch and enjoy!
