Been coming here for 15+ years, haven't been for quite sometime but unfortunately I will not return. Price is crazy, I understand if the quality of product is the best but a lot of it came from Costco. I ordered the tutors special large on a French roll. I got two smaller hot dog buns essentially to make a large. The meat quality is mediocre. The service was fine, not good nor bad. In short I would not recommend this place. They use sub par bread for a sandwich shop, they even use wonder bread. Price is expensive for chips or drinks.

Just recently discovered this place after a walk at monarch beach. I love a good sandwich and much prefer a local deli than a big chain sandwich shop. We got the Italian (I forget the name of the actual sandwich) and it was so good. I would have preferred a little less dough in the bread but overall I will definitely come back. The Italian dressing is homemade and it's so good and flavorful. They put some sort of Italian spices or herbs in the oil dressing. Parking lot is a bit small but there is usually space if you're there during off peak times.

I'm bummed to write this but am doing so in hopes that my beloved sandwich shop will return. I've been going to tutor and Spunkys for the last 20 years and when I worked in the area ate there 3-5 days a week. I haven't been more recently but decided to float in while in Dana Point to support small business. Wow how times have changed. I am happy to pay a little more provided the food is good quality. Unfortunately the bag is worth more than the sandwich. More than $18 for a half of sandwich and cup of soup when the sandwich was terrible is absurd. When the old owner had it, the line used to be out the door at 12:00, it was now a shell of what it once was. Microwaved dry bacon, very little turkey and soggy bread do not make a good sandwich. Sad that a place I used to love and refer people to is now a place I will never return. Side note, the staff is still great. Just not the quality of the sandwiches.

Looking for a good sandwich in the Dana Point area and this came highly suggested. The restaurant was clean and the service was friendly. Don't get me wrong this is an average sandwich shop with not a whole lot more to say. The menu is kind of plain with not a whole lot different from most sandwich shops. The sandwiches we received were good but nothing to write home about. I would eat here again but knowing what I know I would look for a different sandwich shop before just coming back here. I am not saying that it wasn't good there just wasn't anything special to mention.

It's an okay sandwich. I should have gotten my bread toasted maybe if I return that's how I'll order it. A lot of bread nothing special just an average sandwich

This is one of those places where I could care less what the price is. The ingredients they use are just impeccable. I'm in awe honestly. Fabulous sandwich! I will for sure be back, thank you so much for existing!

The sandwich was just OK (very average ingredients) but the negative was the bread was not toasted (I had a hot sandwich) and it was falling apart when I bit into it. For a $16 sandwich I expected more gourmet ingredients, for example when we go to Ike's there's a lot more unique flavors and ingredients that makes the sandwich stand out from average deli sandwiches. This was comparable to grocery store deli sandwiches (Ralph's and Pavilions). Again, it wasn't a bad sandwich but it wasn't so good that would make me want to go back.

Just had the most amazing sandwich (Teresa's Touch) on squaw bread. These guys know how to make a sandwich! Bursting with ingredients and flavor. So good. Efficient, nice people, airy and open seating area. So good.

Spent $50 on 3 sandwiches. Got home, one was wrong with mustard all over it. At $17 I was not going to throw it away, so I called the store and they didn't believe me. I asked for a new one and they told me to bring the old one in for proof. Ok. Drove 10 minutes back to their store where they gave me a dirty look, never apologized, and shoved a subpar new sandwich with old, brown avocado at me. WAY too expensive for a below average sandwich with incredibly rude staff.
