"This was ok I guess. the Philly Cheese Steak was lacking cheese. The sandwich was smashed into a huge amount of foil and perhaps sitting all day in a hot oven. The bun was crushed, but they did put a lot of meat in the foil package and was seasoned pretty well. If there was more cheese it wouldn't of been so dry."
"First, even though the item came in a plastic shell and was wrapped in foil paper, the sandwich itself was an absolute mess. The bread was so flattened, it had come apart at the bottom seam, leaving me to eat it in a tear-apart style. The fries were way better after a trip through the air fryer. The meat of the Philly was dry, except for the few good bites in the middle of the blob that the cheese and onions came together to form some good bites. "

Located at 920 Geary Street, this compact, no-frills grocery and liquor store offers a variety of freshly made sandwiches that have customers raving. The standout feature of Salem Grocery's sandwiches is the quality and balance of their ingredients.

Their dedication to quality and flavor ensures a delightful experience with every bit"
"I work at a nearby hospital and on the weekends our cafeteria is closed, so I treat myself to delivery. They have the best potato salad I've ever tasted. Their sandwiches are great.I like mine on the Dutch Crunch. I've had the Pastrami with extra cheese and black olives, and the Pesto Chicken. Both are do good and filling. Also they make my order and DoorDash gets it to me quickly. I will keep ordering from them in the future, ;)"

"A New York Classic Chopped Cheese is supposed to have Puerto Rican adobo seasoning on the meat, or at least some alternative seasoning—but this was just bland. Basically it's a well-done cheeseburger on a French roll with sweet peppers and extra mayo. It is a big sandwich with a ton of meat. And for a low (especially for SF) price (especially with the discount—which you don't get if you order from the actual restaurant, Flipper's, only with this fake listing; why?). But it's not what they advertise, and not what I was in the mood for. And I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a place called "Bodega Chopped Cheese" to be able to make a bodega chopped cheese, or at least a better approximation."
"Fries were over cooked, burnt and dried. Sandwich was soggy and no flavors."
