Best sandwiches in Oceanside. The vibe is unmatched and great service. Definitely coming here again and again.

I came here on a weekend afternoon so The Cool Spot (where this food connex is located) was pretty busy. Even so, realize this has some bearing on my review. I chose The Headless Chicken and my friend got The Jive Turkey (they were out of bacon so she substituted with avocado). I thought my sandwich was amazing! The portion was large and the combo of pesto, tomatoes, and chicken was perfect. My friend's sandwich was huge! I wish I had taken a photo of it before she quickly ate half but it looks great too, I'll probably get that one next time. My 4-star review comes from a couple things. It took longer that I would have expected to get our food. It was the weekend, but this appeared to be a one-man operation and no one was ahead of us. I think we waited about 10 minutes. Also, it was an expensive lunch but the ambiance was great and food was great so I felt it was worth it. For two sandwiches and two cans of soda without tip it came to $33.25. For me, that is something I have to consider. Overall, I really liked this place, and we had no major issues with the service.

The guy working was so rude the food wasn't right not like the first time I came and when I said this is not what I ordered he just shrugged his shoulders said if I didn't want it to go to one of the other vendors I asked him for his name and he said why and didn't have to give it to me he was a Hispanic male I won't be ordering anything while he is there I usually bring my family and we spend a lot of money to be treated poorly

what 17 dollars gets you at sidelines btw absolutely a robbery
Stood at the counter for over 5 min and was a very anti fun experience. The cook looked annoyed to actually do work. Over priced Costco bread sandwiches.
