Hole in the Wall

Picked up sandwiches for my girlfriend and I and both were super good. The service was great, but I’d recommend going when you’re not in a rush. Everything is made to order and it’s a popular spot so it can take a little bit to get your order in.

Amazing subs!/sandwich! Cold (or hot). Business running since the 1980’s! A real gem.

These sandwiches are just delicious, servings are generous, choices provided fit just about any preferred bite, and a fair price for what you get. Their standard sandwich covers my lunch for 2 days, easy!

Ordered a tuna sandwich. They have crab sandwich specials on fridays. It was quick, tasty. My only complaint was how the cashier was collecting money, picking the bread, making the sandwich without gloves or washing her hands. I mean I didn't die or got sick. I just think it would be nicer if they took better care of my food.

Been coming here for years. Best sandwiches and the best staff. Highly recommended. Don’t miss this Humboldt landmark. I used to be a vegetarian until I came across this amazing-highest quality store.....I must admit that it was worth it but I only do it there. Their crab sandwich on Fridays is out of this galaxy

Hard to believe a sandwich could be so great but it really is. Some fresh local bread makes them that much better. They're consistent. Lots of chip and drink options, even some beers! Outdoor seating but everything is takeout as it's always been.

Great sandwiches. A little slow, but totally worth it.

This place was busy when we arrived but the staff was great and worked through the line well. Our sandwiches were huge and tasted amazing they were so fresh! Great selection of drinks and chips. 10/10 can’t wait to go back!!

We got there right before closing tonight. The employees were gracious enough to still make our sandwiches. We thoroughly enjoyed the sandwiches down on the beach while we watched the sunset. Best meal of our trip so far.

I am in love. They are true sandwich artists here. My favorite is the roast beef, but there is a wide, delicious variety of meats. Go get some!

Hole in the Wall makes subs the exact way I like them. Thinly shredded lettuce and thinly sliced onion and tomato with salt, pepper, oil, and vinegar give such a crunchy, fresh texture and offset the heavier meat and bread to create the ultimate sub. I absolutely ADORE this place and could easily eat there every day for the rest of my life if i could afford it.

Have been going to Hole in the Wall for decades. We live in a different area now but make a point to always grab sandwiches when we're on the coast. Always fresh ingredients, always the best sandwiches! Great employees and service too. Definitely recommend!

The sandwiches were awesome. My mom used to take me after school. Love it!

Omg I seriously don't know how I'm going to be able to survive living in southern California without this place in my life regularly. They have such an amazing selection of meats cheeses and combinations you can have anything. The bread (had mine on a sourdough roll) was so soft and delicious. If you're in the area I totally recommend trying it out. They have tables outside for seating, no bathroom :(, huge selection of drinks and chips as well. You can call in to pick up your order or order there. P.S. I had the hot turkey sandwich on sourdough roll.

I absolutely love taking the meatball sandwich home and popping it in my oven for 10 minutes, cheese gooey goodness!!

One of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had!! The only thing I don’t like is the fact I’m too full because I couldn’t stop eating it. Must try!

Incredibly good food. A Humboldt classic. The pastrami Reuben was unbelievably good.

We stopped here on our way to Oregon and it did not disappoint! Instant service, friendly staff, and very high quality ingredients. We ordered their crab sandwich and it was so fresh and filling, they kept us filled all day long! I was super impressed with every aspect of this restaurant. I would definitely recommend if you are craving a sandwich.

A staple of arcata. Been eating at home in the wall since I can remember. Great service, mellow atmosphere, best sandwich in arcata.

Delicious sandwiches with a lot of variety and a friendly, helpful staff. I wish we lived nearby so we could enjoy it more often.

Ordered two Cobb sandwiches. Little pricey $11.95 for an 8 inch, very tasty, made to my liking, basic condiments. So the only issue sandwich makers washed hands in front of us, but my concern they were not wearing gloves! Only okay at the moment due to view of handwashing..

The sandwich was tasty, nothing special. Got the largest size and it was ok. By no means large. For the owner's reply, I wasn't saying so much as the length. There could've been more on the inside. I do think 3 stars isn't fair, I apologize for that.

Have always loved this place. Sandwich was so delicious. I had a Cordon Blue, with chicken, ham & swiss. My only complaint would be the mayo tasted a little on the warm side. I like my mayo cold. Otherwise perfect.

I’m on a Torta mission! I was turned on to the fact that Hole In The Wall has one on the menu. Today made 31 Tortas from 31 different locations just in Humboldt County. This Torta was very delicious. The cilantro really set it off and the jalapeños were actually spicy! The Brio French roll was a fresh change from the typical Telera roll on most Tortas.

I am sad that I found this right as I am about to move from the area. The sandwiches are huge and the contents are delicious. There are suggested sandwiches and you can build your own. I am happy they have pastrami!

Has been a good sando stop for us. ABSOLUTELY worth the price! Its 2 meals per sando with fresh ingredients for less than $20. Solving the fresh bread challenge for a sando shop would elevate thier craft. Service is fast and responsive.

Sandwich was really good however, I was thrown off by no gloves and the wet rag on the counter that kept wiping off the sandwich station. Coming from a cottage baker myself I know the laws of food handlers and this is how bacteria is created. I wanted a hot sandwich which it was hot but only the meat. I was expecting the entire sandwich. Besides that the sandwich was good. Just wish it was a little more sanitary.

This is a great spot and is easily in my top 3 favorite restaurants in town. The only reason I opt not to give them a full 5 stars is because they don't offer half size sandwiches. I would honestly eat here WAY more often, if I could order half a sandwich. Hole In The Wall, I love you, your team is great, the food is great, the selections is great, the location is great, but please please please consider offering smaller sandwich sizes.

I've had a few different sandwiches here and fail to see the hype. I guess they are larger than average sandwiches however it tastes the same to me as a sandwich from Wildberries or Co-op. On my most recent visit the person making my sandwich was sniffling a lot and looked very pale which was very alarming, I was close to just leaving without a sandwich. Anyways I was not asked if I wanted oil and vinegar, I had to ask for it. Then I received my bag and got no napkins so I had to ask for that too. I would like to clarify that I was given a bag without asking however was not given napkins and not asked.

I haven’t seen any other reviews about this, so it only feels right to speak my truth. Please don’t get the Dutch crunch bread — it was so sad and crumbly. Any of the other bread options must be better than that one.

cool little spot. sandwiches were alright but rather pricey for what you get.

Decent sandwich but absurdly overpriced. What kind of sandwich shop charges 1.50 extra for cheese? Not to mention no one informs you the cheese is extra, no itemized receipt so they really try to sweep it under the rug like you won’t notice. Only discovered after doing the math on local taxes after racking my brain as to how a 12.75 sandwich comes out to 15.41. For that price I expect a side and a drink to come with it.

to be honest i don't think they are worth the price, they are massive and crazy and pretty good but 20$ is kinda a lot for a sandwich that isnt quite as good as a 10$ boars head sandwich. but if your willing to spend a decent amount on a sandwich its not too bad to check this place out

For the price I expect better. So the food was decent my dad got a roast beef, great. However I order the Rueben, my mistake. The ingredients were good the execution was not. The meat is microwaved and the sauerkraut was placed directly on to unheated bread creating a mushy mess. The gal making it even noticed asking another person and they said “whatever.” My sandwich literally fell apart even when wrapped in paper.

20 mins to make a sandwich is crazy, especially with a long ass line lmao. They growing the avocados back there or just taking a blinker??😂

I get a sandwich from hole in the wall about once a week. This week I ordered a Italian combo on Brio French it ended up being on Dutch crunch I ordered mayo on both sides and got it on only one side and I asked for super light lettuce and lettuce made up 1/3 of the sandwich. SMH I'm done with this place for a while

Their only vegan option is a PB&J, and vegetarian options are just as scarce. The local tofu shop closed down and instead of switching to a new supplier they have instead opted to cut their plant-based menu items almost entirely. I’m rating them 1 star not out of malice but because 1 star ratings are more visible, and I want other folks who might be looking at outdated reviews and menus to know that they are no longer vegan or vegetarian friendly.

Atmosphere and service are OK but I don’t know what happened. I called in a sandwich. I’ve ate here many times. The last few times I have gotten severe stomach issues after eating their sandwiches after calling it in. Maybe I should be there when they’re making their sandwiches. The girl who answered the phone did not seem happy to be working. I get they’re busy. This is my last time going to this business. My stomach is horribly sore. Don’t wanna go in details, but I think I might have food poisoning. This place has definitely gone downhill. I don’t know if it’s the people they’re hiring that are not washing our properly handling the food but this is the second time I’ve had stomach issue so no more.

I ordered a cordon bleu sandwich from here and I was really looking forward to eating it and the chicken was rock hard I have to throw the chicken away and let me tell you that was what I was most excited about. I called them with my feed back and I was told that they will let whom ever know that made the sandwiches and they would let the owner know, there was no option to make it right for my experience. Also my co workers all got sandwiches from there today too and all three of their sandwiches were wrong. Very disappointing, unfortunately I will be ordering my sandwiches from the eureka hole in the wall from now on and it’s definitely worth the drive.

They don’t wear gloves. I went in looking for a nice lunch, and was greeted by a kind woman at the register. She had just finished handling the payment of the customer in front of me. She took my order and rushed to the other end of the counter and proceeded to manhandle the sandwich with her bare hands. I couldn’t help but be grossed out as she proceeded to stuff the bread of the fillings with her greasy, dirt filled nails. I asked if they ever wear gloves, she just said no. I couldn’t help but think, that’s nasty… nasty regardless, but in a pandemic!?!! Even more so! I felt uncomfortable knowing I no longer wanted to eat this, but payed for the sandwich. It was unfortunate because that was super expensive for a sandwich shop to begin with, but especially because I felt that the sandwich wasn’t even sanitary enough to eat. I asked around if anyone wanted it, they didn’t. I threw it away, and will never go there again.

I ordered a club sandwich and since I didn’t want ham and waste it I asked for it to be left off they turned around in arcata and changed me $2 extra for not getting the ham. Then I came back to my clients house to eat and there was not one but two strands of hair in half I was eating. So disappointed spent $19.00 and had to throw it out due to workers hair In my food. The lady who waited on me was rude and gave me the poor excuse that since I didn’t want a ham it was no longer a club. SMH worst yet after that to find hair in my food. I’ll be going to the eureka one from now on.
