Salty's

I get a sandwich here *every* time I visit my ophthalmologist across the street at the Eye Institute - it's a treat to look forward to. Sandwiches are inventive, delicious, big. I always have enough left over for dinner, but I get an extra sandwich to bring home to my partner anyway so I don't have to share. (Well, also so I can sample two different sandwiches.)You can concoct your own sandwich or sub but why bother? Shadi's creations beat mine. I just got their "Glorious Bastard".The main guy there -Shadi -is *super* nice and helpful too! Oh, and they have an unusual brand of potato chips that's killer: Zapp's.They're only open for lunch. Street, metered parking is usually easy.

I've had Salty's bookmarked on Google Maps but haven't made the time to go or wasn't in the mood for a sandwich when I was in the neighborhood until recently. Owner is very friendly. Pretty busy around 2pm on a Friday afternoon.I was admiring their fun and extensive sandwich menu, particularly the Glorious Bastard. However, my eyes (and wallet) were especially drawn to the Breakfast Sandwich. At $6.50, it's a steal and a darn good sandwich. The bread was delicious and it was a great complement to the egg, sauce, and cheese. Will be back just for this. They have books inside, some cute artwork, and a few tables. Lots of grab-and-go-options.

Date: Tuesday, November 7th, 2023What: Lunch DeliveryParty of: 2Time Ordered: around 1:45pmTime Delivered: around 2:30pmHow: DoorDash (DD)Delivered To: Outer Richmond*Glorious Bastard: Turkey, Bacon, Avocado, Pepper Jack, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickled Onions & Garlic Mayo on Dutch Crunch ($15.95)*Pastrami Papi: Hot Pastrami, Swiss Cheese, Pepperoncini, Dijon Mustard & Garlic Mayo on sliced Rye ($14.95)*Ricky Ricardo: Cubano Sandwich with Ham, Smoked Pork, Swiss Cheese, Pickles, Jalapenos, and a Garlic Mustard sauce ($14.95)The hubby wanted sandwiches and picked Salty's. I'm a turkey and pepperjack kind of girl, so I picked the glorious bastard. The filling was good and ample. I do wish we could swap out the bread or make notes on DD. I'm definitely not a sweet and salty kind of person. so the bread was not my thing. I don't eat much bread anyways, but it would have been nice to be able to modify that at least. The hubby got the other two and seemed to enjoy them. He does love his reubens and and this seemed to fit the bill. Solid place for sandwiches. Just wish I could choose my own bread.

The people who work here are SO NICE and friendly. Would come back just to bask in the good energy. I ordered the habibi with half chicken and half cauliflower and it was solid!

Heard good things about this place from some colleagues. I believe this used to be where Philz was on Van Ness. Nice place to grab some sandwiches, salads and coffee. Big portions. I personally found their sandwiches a bit "salty " (ha ha) but still pretty tasty. Nice ambiance on this stretch of Van Ness.

Really nice little sandwich shop oasis in a busy but tougher neighborhood. The ingredients were high quality and super fresh. It reminds me of the early days of Ike's when they had their small shop in the Castro. The guy running the show here seems on his game and everything is well organized for in person or pickup. Espresso drinks and coffee available too! Easily walkable from CPMC Hospital as well.

Great Place, amazing food and service! Highly recommend the terrapin girl! I was really touched by the attention they gave to my pup!

This is a great sandwich shop with really tasty options. I used to work in a deli so the one food I know really well is a sandwich.They are pretty quick with the service here and it's very fast if you order ahead. I recommend the #2 pesto and provolone sandwich.I can't wait to work my way through this menu! You should check it out if you get the chance

Service was incredible. A nice homey environment and kind workers. I got the glorious bastard and it was one of the best sandwiches i've ever had! Highly recommend

$20 for a sandwich?!! Prices are outrageous here however the service was courteous. It wasn't particularly remarkable; the sandwich was salty, just like its name... I've had better elsewhere.
