Phil's Snack Shack & Deli

Pretty good overall for a quick bite. Friendly service, my Denver omelet was very good. We found this place looking for a quick lunch during 75miles bike ride from Los Gatos to Monterey and it didn’t disappoint. Likely not famous for its coffee or upscale atmosphere, but it’s fast, not expensive and good food, so 5 stars. Ah, one more thing, “cat shack” was cute but no cats sadly.

Swung by here to break up a 4 hour drive between SLO and SF, this was a perfect halfway spot to stop and get a bite to eat and enjoy the scenery and park across the street. Friendly staff greeted us when we walked in. The menu has plenty of options, so we ordered a few items. We ordered a calamari sandwich, jalapeno burger, fries, and fried zucchini. The outdoor seating area next to the lagoon is great, really pretty and calming to relax at after being on the road for 2 hours. Dog friendly too, so that was a big plus. The food came out pretty quickly. Good size on all of the food, more than enough to eat for the two of us and our toddler. My calamari sandwich was delicious, perfectly fried and not greasy. The sourdough bread was a really nice choice to balance out all of calamari, tartar s

It’s still in business and the calamari sandwiches still amazing. The whole Phils vibe has lost its luster once they moved the main restaurant into town away from the ocean. At least we can still grab a lunch at the snack shack. They took away the blue room so make sure to wash hands before going.

My husband & I stopped by here for lunch... after reading the reviews, we thought we'd give it a chance and so happy we did!! My husband ordered a double cheeseburger and I ordered the calamari sandwich with a cup of clam chowder and it was soooo GOOD!! My soup had big chunks of clam, steamy hot and very tasty. My sandwich was perfectly topped with pickles, onions, tomatos and a yummy sauce... the calamari steak was cooked just right. His cheeseburger was good and also cooked perfectly. We were both in foody heaven... mmmmm. Portions are pretty big and it's very affordable! There was no wait and we recieved our order in about 10-15 minutes. The lady who took our order was very friendly & nice. We sat outside at the picnic tables in the back and enjoyed the beautiful view of the water, wild

Small & classic deli menu, plus a hearty clam chowder & a few sweet treats, all for a very reasonable price. Seating inside & outside, beside the canal. In a tiny town of limited options, this is a very good one!
