I had an incredible first experience at this restaurant! The sandwiches were fresh, delicious, and very affordable—definitely a home run! They also offer some really tasty vegetarian options. Plus, I found parking conveniently close by. Highly recommend!

We stumbled upon this gem and we’re very glad we did. I had the Roma and we also got a chicken pesto and a veggie. All three were delicious and generous portions. We took half home and they were almost as good the second time around. If you’re in the area and you like sandwiches, give this place a try.

TLDR: honestly sandwiches here are a bit underwhelmingI got a pastrami sandwich from Lou’s and it came out quickly. The sandwich itself seemed very light on meat, compared to other sandwiches I’ve had in the past. The bread wasn’t very toasted so I didn’t get that delicious bite of fresh toasted bread. For almost $15, I expect a bit more meat and a tastier sandwich View menu

I love their sandwiches, so good and quality meat brought by (Boar's Head) which I work for. The customer service is very good and quick to make your food. Fast and simple service and dine in is good love the songs and tv channels they have. Atmosphere is good and seats are comfy. I highly recommend the the buffalo chicken sandwich if you like spicy like me. Love this place I come here every time I'm in the city. They always welcome me with love. Thank you ??

For my first order, I tried the Crab Melt, which was quite good. I would have loved a little more crab salad, but perhaps that’s just my craving for more! The jalapeño spread elevates the sandwich to a level that other places haven’t matched. Next time, I’m excited to try either the breakfast sandwich or the Risky Business. If you haven’t yet been to Lou’s, I highly recommend checking it out! As for parking, there’s street parking available. There is some construction happening on the Taraval tracks (as of January 25, 2024), but I found it easy to find a spot. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible and has plenty of space and tables available, including a reserved one.

"Earlier this year Salty 's was featured in one of the top 100 places to eat in the Bay Area in 2022, and after trying it a couple times, it 's easy to see why. Quality and flavor, great customer service, it checks all those boxes. I occasionally visit the 24 hour fitness on Van Ness, and Salty 's happens to be just few short blocks away which makes it perfect when I 'm looking for a post-workout sandwich. And for those that know me, I love me my sandwiches. On my latest visit, I decided to go with the 'Glorious B sandwich, which come with turkey, bacon, avocado, pepper jack, veggies, and garlic mayo. The blend of flavors and high quality of the turkey is no wonder it 's at the very top of the menu list. It 's one of those sandwiches, that you can bring to park and not need a ton of napkins to get through. It was well put together, with the ratio of all the ingredients matching well. Nothing overpowering, just sandwich perfection. The size of the sandwich I thought was the perfect size for my appetite. As I 've gotten older I can 't put down as much food as I used to, and after one-half I knew I could 've stopped eating, be content, saved the rest for later. But of course I ate the whole thing and nothing sounds better than taking a quick power nap right after. I love that their menu has so many different sandwich combinations, so definitely take time to check their menu before calling-in/walking-in to order because it 'll definitely save you some time. On my latest visit, I was in and out in 10 minutes. Definitely towards the top of my list of sandwiches in this part of town!"
