A hole in the wall Mom and Pop shop with prices you would expect for Point Loma. It is in no way, shape, or form an actual deli. It's a sandwich shop. We had whatever they would probably call an Italian. It was made up well, put the bread wasn't as good as I expected. A little slow to be made, but five stars for service because of the fine young men up front. I wanted to give it 5 stars but it just didn't quite add up. It feels like a small business where the owners extracting too much cash.

Great service, Superb Sandwiches and awesome vibes! Been coming here since I moved and worked in point loma in 2013! This is my go to Sandwich spot on san diego. Just the tip, and the OB Longhorn are awesome, must try! However, for me im a str8 sucker for the Rockslides, lol...its not too filling. From the fresh ingredients and fresh bread, its simple and PERFECT for me!. Highly recommended shop!

This is a locals only eatery. Amazing vibes and make you feel like you just stepped onto the North Shore of Hawaii. They are totally sold out to serving the local community, and helping anywhere they can!!! Awesome place come get a very unique experience of So Cal. Living!!!

Not sure what kind of fairy dust they sprinkle on their sandwiches here, but wow! That was one truly delicious sandwich! I got the #1 USS Nimitz sandwich, and it was amazing. Honestly I almost skipped this place because the photos of their food on Google didn’t look all that appealing to me for some reason. But it was the only deli around and I was hungy. I am so glad I gave it a chance. Not cheap for a sandwich but I will be back!

Cool place with a great surfer vibe! Places like this in my opinion define San Diego and the surf culture. I got the sandwich "just the tip" and it was good, not great or fantastic but it was good. I would get it again. The decor was awesome and it just made the place that much more cool. My friends and I enjoyed looking around and we all had something different which made it more interesting to check out the different dishes. I would recommend this place for sure.
