The Deli King

Just picked up my first ever Deli Man sandwich- not sure how it took this long! It was perfect- the Charlie’s Hustle-fresh ingredients and delicious combo! Can’t wait to come back and try the breakfast sandwich!

Deli Man is the best sandwich shop in the world, bar none. Great selection and customization, and very generous portions.

When your establishment is named Deli Man, you better excel at deli items. This little shop did not disappoint. Amazing sandwiches, amazing salads, and welcoming staff. The ambiance is corner store vibe, but the personalized quick service and decent pricing make it a must-visit. I look forward to returning when tri tip and other grill items return or sooner!

Had a great turkey sandwich today. The roll was perfect and delicious. The grilled chicken thigh was so delicious! I'll be back.

Let me agree with the multitude of other high praise reviews and personally recommend this location and our man of the hour Charlie! 5-Star service, delicious food in a funky little joint. This is what I call a neighborhood "Pocket-Deli." This ain't no national chain stale bread and meat joint. Charlie rolls with "Boars Head" meats!! Fresh bread and toppin's. We had driven down from Reno to "City College" for a basketball tournament. We needed more than some snack shack hot dog from their concession stand. But where to go so I don't miss the competition in the gym and will I have to worry about the family getting sick? Let me tell you Siri gave me several options and "Deli-Man" seemed to fit the bill. Not only Deli-Man is only 5 min close to the college, the place is well stocked and ready to serve. It turns out this joint is the locals sweet spot and during the week, many city college students pick Deli Man for a hearty meal at a "decent" price. I say decent because there ain't no free lunch in the big city! Let me tell you the one sandwich was able to get us through lunch and was super tasty! No joke and kidding aside, Charlie has a great place, with a funky-cool vibe. Don't expect a high end sit down place. This is a "grab-it quick and get back to it" kind of place. One big thing for us is how clean a restaurant is. Food sickness sucks, and even more when you're on the road. No worries at Deli Man! Charlie runs a tight and tidy ship! My wife would approve of how squeaky clean the bathroom and the food prep area was kept! And before you start thinking I got paid for this glowing endorsement and he's my family. Stuff it, I'd never met Charlie before and this was a random first time visit. Again, there is a well earned reason Charlie is a local favorite. Next time we're in town and remotely close to this part of San Francisco we are stopping for a first class lunch at Deli Man. You would do well making the same choice!

Hard to find a good man, but Deli Man is my guy. They barbecue right on the sidewalk Mom/Wed/Fri and I wouldnt have it any other way. Good sandwiches too. The Mac n cheese is basic, but it's good and they gave me way more than I expected. Friendly guys working. If I lived around here I'd come once a week at least. Solid prices.

I love this place! The subs here are some of the best I have ever had, and the staff is always very friendly and comforting. I went to order a sub and while I was waiting, a seemingly homeless man came up to the deli and asked for some food. Instead of being dismissive or aggressive, the owner handed the man a box of food and I found that to be a very sweet act. I will definitely be going back to this deli!

Best BBQ I’ve had in the city, sweet store inside with cool snacks, desserts ( I got fresh made banana pudding), and bevs too. Really nice guys working there as well. Highly recommend getting a bbq plate (they usually do three meats a day, as all good BBQs do they will run out of brisket eventually so try to get there earlier than later), great sides too like Mac and cheese, potato salads, etc.

Such a convenient little deli around where I live. Walked in and ordered 4 different kinds of sandwiches to eat with my family. The guy working was friendly and attentive to us and those coming in. He was working alone and was pretty fast and accurate. Didn’t even take a picture of the sandwiches because they didn’t last long. So good and worth the price for the value of food you get!

Highly highly recommend. First thing I ate in San Francisco and it’s already hard to see how any sandwich will be better. I got the Garden of Eatin. Us veggies are taken care of well here!!

Absolutely love this! My number one sandwich place to go here in San Francisco.

The sandwiches here are delicious and the portions are big!

Mmm mmm mmm. These fellas use whatever they've had on the BBQ that day for their sandwiches, and it is GLORIOUS. I could get a sandwich anywhere else for the same price and get mediocre meat that was sliced a week ago and cooked a week before that, but here, this man looked me in the eye and asked if I want the teriyaki chicken he just cooked, pulling it up in his tongs as he said it. The chicken was still dripping juice! Then he cut up a whole piece for me, no mishmash of whatever's left in the factory, he cut me up a recognizable, beautifully charred, bone-in chicken thigh and put it on my sandwich. The service is prompt as possible and always friendly, the order is accurate, and the food is DELICIOUS. They even try to get me through the line ASAP when I show up at the same time as the wave from the local school. I will absolutely wade through a horde of 12-year-olds for a sandwich like this, and you should too.

Some people may say that the Deli Man has the best sandwiches in San Francisco. However, this is not entirely accurate, for the Deli Man in fact has the best sandwiches in all of California. Good food, good vibes, good man!

Stopped by Deli Man on a Sunday to grab some sandwiches and noticed they were grilling some tasty-looking chicken outside. We obviously had to add some pieces to the order and I’m so glad we did because it was mind-blowingly delicious! Crispy skin, tender meat, and perfect seasoning. The turkey pesto sando was great too and the guys working there are so nice. We’ll definitely be back.

Rolled the dice and today Deli Man was the winner. I’m not mad at the choice it was a hefty sandwhich made well. Service was awesome, I walked in scatter brained and my guy was patient and helpful. I wanted to try the tri tip but unfortunately is unavailable at the moment but will hopefully return soon(get well buddy). So after a long hard look at the menu with a little bit of disappointment I decided to get a Turkey Bacon and Avacado with everything on it on a soft roll and a side of banana pudding. The sandwhich was good size loaded with turkey and bacon. The way it was put together was a perfect stack. 8/10 The Banana Pudding was also a hit, not to sweet and a pretty big serving. 8.5/10

Ordered a Charlie Hustle and a Contractor. The bread on the Charlie Hustle was stale, which was a huge disappointment. The bread for the Contractor was much better but the sandwich needed mustard of something with additional acidity to help it all come together.
