sandy's is a different type of sandwich restaurant than your average sandwich shop. the muffulettas are packed with flavor and texture and i highly recommend trying. the service is incredibly friendly and there are some limited seating options inside the restaurant. ambiance is very chill and casual. i would definitely come back to try other muffulettas and the chocolate chip cookies!
A very solid and unique sandwhich. Quality meats and nice cheese. The olive mixture is what really packs the flavor punch here and makes the sandwich unique. It's salty and rich which really flavors the whole sandwhich. If anything, it leans salty but it wasn't too much given the bread. The bread was very crisp, bordering too much as some bites scratched the roof of my mouth.
This is the highest rated sandwich shop on Google Maps AND Too Good To Go in SF (4.9 rating on both platforms) Thanks to the owner for waiting for me 10 minutes after closing today, so I can pick up my TGTG order. Sandwiches are delicious and it's the best $7+ tax (TGTG price) I've spent so far this year on any food.
Stopped by here on a whim on a Sunday afternoon. The guy at the register was super nice and chatty, and the team got us our sandwhiches quick (they are made ahead of time, good for muffulettas to let all the juices soak in). We were lucky and got a seat inside from the few available. The sandwhiches were umami, zesty, and buttery! My partner's and my favorite was the roasted mushroom muffuletta. However, for 1/8 a slice they are pretty pricey for how little they are filled. In addition, none of the team was wearing gloves when handling ready to eat items, which is a food safety hazard.
I enjoyed muffuletta and being it to be my first, I thought it was delicious and made differently from the usual sandwich. I like its crusty texture. I had the mushroom and my husband had the mushroom and ham. Located smack on the hip street of Haight-Ashbury, a nice spot for people watching. Prices of the muffuletta are high though so that's a drawback.
One of the BEST sandwiches I've had in a long time. They sell the sandwiches by an 1/8, a 1/4, or a whole. The prices are higher than I'd like to pay for a sandwich. I ordered an eighth of the Muffuletta and it was $14.50! An entire sandwich is $98! Anywho, the sandwich itself was superb! So many flavors married together for the perfect combination! The Muffuletta has Italian mortadella (without pistachios), prosciutto, salami, provolone, spicy olive spread and Duke's mayo. The bread was thin yet flavorful and crispy! Service was great as we ordered online and was ready by the time we got there. (I can't tell you much about the ambience as I wasn't the one to go inside to pick up the food.) I may not go to the city often, but when I do, I might just have to fork up the $14.50 for another eighth of that sandwich!
My wife and I came here to try a Muffaletta. It's the only thing they make and they do it well. I got the classic; she got the mushroom Muffaletta. They were more generous with the mushrooms on her sandwich than they were the cold cuts on mine. Both sandwiches tasted very good and we devoured them quickly. The bread was lightly toasted, the ingredients were fresh and high quality. The service was very good: the son of the owner served us and he was super friendly. The ambiance of this small restaurant was pleasant: my wife and I sat by the window and watched the pedestrians walk by. Perhaps the only downside: the sandwiches are somewhat on the pricey side....but, outside of New Orleans it's the only place I've seen so far that sells them.
Fast & friendly warm service!! They're so awesome here, and I overheard one do the customers say they drove into the city just for this sandwich. Nice that they have a mushroom veggie option, and also hot ham! Inside is a bit small but there are around 4-5 smaller tables and then a counter with 4-5 chairs! Cute place and lively!
We came here for lunch on a weekend. Didn't have to wait long, but it was also pouring rain out. Small shop, but has a decent amount of seating. We got the hot ham sandy and the pickled egg sandy; honestly regret not actually getting of the muffuletta sandwiches. The hot ham sandy was really good. The bread was nicely toasted but still soft inside, and the hot ham and provolone worked well together to provide a huge flavor bomb. Some pickled red onions to balance, and the apple butter added just a touch of sweetness, not overwhelming at all. Really amazing sandwich. The pickled egg sandy was a bit interesting. You REALLY have to love pickled to enjoy this; the egg is strongly pickled, the potato chips are sour, even the bread is a sourdough. It's pretty overwhelming, so beware. The portions are also pretty small at a pretty steep price; I was barely full after my one sandwich. Overall, definitely worth a stop!
