I ordered a tri tip sando I was surprised
It was $20.50.. Dry and over cooked/microwaved, the tri tip tasted like it it was marinated in Taco Bell sauce. The bread was soggy. I usually devour all foods and never complain. In fact this is the first negative review I’ve left anywhere since 2013.
I will be going to IP market in Inverness instead of this place when I’m craving a sando. Trust me when I say this go anywhere but this place.
We live in Novato and drive past this place frequently on our way to Point Reyes. It looks cool from the outside so we stopped in last week for lunch. Big mistake. The guy at the counter was extremely rude, acting like it was an imposition that we were in the restaurant and he had to take our order. The crab cake sandwiches were overpriced and terrible. The "crab" cakes were mostly bread and soggy. Oh and they don't have a bathroom for you to use. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!
Like most other reviewers, I had a similar opinion. Sandwiches are way overpriced for what you get. $40 for 2 sandwiches when they are using store bought bread and cold cuts is very poor value. Also, we were the only ones there, and it still took quite a while to make 2 sandwiches. Bare, depressing shelves and refrigerators, most items on the shelves were simply bulk boxed items from Costco. The sandwiches weren't bad, but it's a very bad value and not anything you couldn't make at home. I can't recommend this deli unless there's nowhere else to go, or long lines elsewhere.
$16 for a sandwich that looks like it would be served at a school lunch. Bare minimum ingredients (a single piece of lettuce on a veggie sandwich) and store sliced bread. We asked for ours to be put on a roll and the cashier told us they were out of rolls. However he let a family that ordered after us get all of theirs on rolls?
No bathrooms, no trash cans inside, tables are greasy and dirty, drinks and chips are nearly an extra $10. This place makes Subway look like a luxury establishment.
This place was the least busiest when we wanted to eat. Just a simple place that was clean with a large room, that would accommodate a lot of people, just not many tables. They weren’t serving Mexican food that day, I was disappointed. Although the crab cake sandwich was delicious and I would have missed out. They were also awesome enough to make my wife a salad, that was not on the menu, she doesn’t eat bread. Also they have the best selection of HARBIO gummies I have ever seen. HARBIO was Michael Jackson’s favorite candy. Go here first when in town. You won’t regret it. You are in for a whale of good service here.
The sandwiches were tasty but small and expensive. The lack of a bathroom for a sit down restaurant that charges $40 for 2 sandwiches is ridicules even for a tourist town.
Nice employees, and good sandwiches. A bit overpriced in my opinion, but still enjoyable.
Slow on the service and I did not think the price was fair for the quality and size of my sandwich. Good drink options, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic.
