    This is a cool little deli shop with a good sandwich. My first time here and i went with the turkey with everything on it (onion lettuce tomato cheese mayo mustard). The thing was pretty big as you can see in my pic compared to the pop and my hand. As for taste and freshness...it was spot on. Very good. No complaints here.

    If your near the Marina's and need a quick bite, stop in. Around back they have nice outdoor seating where you can view the marina and watch the bots go through.

    I don't suggest getting used to the gobs of filth flying around on the ceiling fans no matter how much you like their sandwiches.

    It looks like a barnyard back room in there but barns usually have unripped screens that work at keeping out disease carrying flies.

    But I digress.

    First, a club sandwich has ham in it.

    And, technically, is double decked and cut in diamond quarters, but we'll forget that as obviously too futuristic for the goals of this trench.

    I can see why people like the turkery and avocado sandwich passing as a club though.

    I like atmosphere as much as the next guy and I expect some flies and smells around a boat and fishing dock to add to the scene, but sticky tables and leftover rotten food on a littered deck is not my idea of fun in the San Diego sun.

    How these people are able to keep this city and port authority contract is beyond me.

    City coffers could be collecting lots more money if this place knew what they were doing.

    It looks like a backwoods outhouse in there and not the highly desirable and attractive tourist destination in the 8th largest market in the USA that it is.

    This is a true hidden gem.

    Amazing sandwiches, that are huge and reasonably priced.

    My wife loves the bread on the torpedoes, but every thing is fresh...

    Dont get me started on the breakfast burrito... love em.

    I love this place. The owners/proprietors are so adorable, and their deviled eggs are worth the occasional drive from LA! The tuna sandwich is good, and the egg salad sandwich is fantastic. And they're huge! The egg salad sandwich was enough for two of us. (Though we each did have five deviled eggs prior to diving into the sandwich.)
    If you go here for the deviled eggs, call first to confirm that they haven't sold out of them.
