Amazing Deli Sandwiches

By DMYLiverpool |

Popped by and picked up a sandwich and was overwhelmed with choice . Opted for the cowboy melt with everything . It was beyond delicious ! Fresh , hot and really tasty and really competitively priced . Would definitely go again

Easy take-out sandwiches

By TXnatives |

It looks like a popular local spot because in the 15 minutes I was there waiting for my sandwich I noticed 3 different groups of people eating and ordering sandwiches. They use boars head brand to make their sandwiches and they have a nice variety of options. The sandwich was good and toasted to melt the cheese which really made the sandwich even better.

Awsome sandwiches!

By Kate D |

One of my favorite stops in san fransisco! Great veriety and selection of difrent sanwiches, salads and wraps.

The best sandwich ever!

By Nan M |

I had the Napa. It's a turkey sandwich on sourdough with melted brie and some sort of sauce that should be patented. Every sandwich there looked amazing. Definitely just a deli although it was a beautiful day to eat outside. Don't expect tableservice but you won't be disappointed.

Good Takeout Option

By Mark P |

We picked up sandwiches and salads at Bite. They were very good, service was fast, and prices were reasonable.

Awesome Sandwiches

By Walter P |

Great little spot for sandwiches. Delicious ingredients. Wanted something lighter for a relaxing night in. Not sure it was light (sandwich was huge).

GREAT Food & We Want More!

By StephiPoo |

We loved this sandwich shop that has fresh ingredients, lots of options, friendly staff who are helpful in your decision making. My teenage son ate there 3x on a 5 day trip last year. We are from Texas, and still talk about how good Bite was. In fact, we are going back to San Francisco this summer and he is planning to eat there everyday, if he can, becuase he loves it so much!

Hole in the wall with great sandwiches

By Jim M |

Can't dine here, but can pop in for a great sandwich to take on the go. Big selection. All made to order while you watch and wait. Very tasty.

Delicious sandwiches

By Ruth M |

This place has a huge selection of sandwiches. The food is delicious and there is a great selection for carnivores. They all seem to come with cheese, except for the veggy options and and the non-meat options are limited. Having said that you can put together your own combination. I chose a Kookooroo because it was rotisserie chicken, with a range of other stuff including feta cheese and I could see the chicken being cooked on the premises and the smell was great. I wasn't disappointed. Good price and a great sandwich. They also do salads but I think if you're coming here the sandwiches are the draw. Highly recommended.

Huge menu and great food

By Andrew S |

They have a lot on their menu, no where to sit, but great to-go sandwiches, salads, etc. Everything looked great and the sandwich I got was very good!

Amazing sandwiches

By Tracy L |

Amazing sandwiches which lots of choices of fillings and types of bread. Sandwiches are made to order so well worth the 5 minute wait.

Great little sandwich shop

By Fritz |

In the heart of the Tenderloin sits a great little sand which counter with outdoor setting. a great place to get a sandwich or salad.

Great little sandwich shop

By Creston K |

I'm torn between giving it a 4 and a 5, but opted for a 4 because of the long wait and there's really no where to sit. But it would work great to grab a sandwich and head home or back to the hotel. That is, if it's not too busy. The think I liked the most was the wide variety of unique sandwiches on the menu. I only went once, but it'd be fun if I lived in the neighborhood to try a bunch of the sandwiches.

Very good

By Daveyyc |

Stayed at hotel vertigo next door - had a craving at night so had the chicken Gouda - OMG! Amazing ! Awesome sandwich !! Gotta try this place !

Yummmy

By krbsmile |

I ate here twice during my 7 day stay, soo yummy. I thought it was very cute that they give you a little sucker with your order. I could not say enough great things about this place.

Really Good Sandwich

By Madelyn T |

This place was close to where I was staying and the front desk recommended it to me for lunch. More of a take out place with just 2 or 3 small tables outside. They had a good selection of sandwiches at a good price. I enjoyed mine. The chicken smelt delicious I would get one of those sandwiches if I returned.

Great little deli.

By eugene_o |

They have delicious sandwiches, salads, roast chicken, etc. I live near by and often buy sandwich meats from them. The two star review from April was likely intended for another business, since they do not serve breakfast. They only do take-out.

OMG

By Gonzalo B |

These chicken sandwiches... too good to be true! Maybe would ask for a bit less "sauce", so there are no suprises for weight watchers.

Good food and fair price

By 漢銘 吳 |

Whole roasted chicken is good and cheap. The restaurant is small so it is good to take food home.

When you get burned out with the big meals...

By urple2 |

This was a great,little place walking distance to our hotel. They make great,fresh sandwiches and the service is very good.

Fantastic!

By Laura W |

Fantastic!!! A great sandwich! We stayed four days in SF and visited Bite twice! I can only recommend it to anyone! 👍❤️

Yum!

By greensusana16 |

Bite was delicious! I had the famous Gouda Good and tried one of their big chocolate chip cookies. The sandwich was tasty and full of flavor. They are huge so you could split with another person or take to eat it later (which I did). I honestly REALLY liked the cookie better, probably because I have a sweet tooth. It was soft and I liked that it had big pieces of chocolate. I definitely felt like a local eating outside so I recommend eating there. Only tip: Beware of the wind lol it might take your napkins.

The most delicious sandwiches ever!

By rojer63 |

We bought sandwiches here, as we arrived late at our hotel, and were tired. They really are amazing!

Good stuff!

By Nutria2008 |

I had "The Gotti," a substantial sandwich unlike anything at chain stores. This is an independent business, which I like to patronize. Fresh bread, deelishus fixings, and very attentive and friendly service. Five out of five, for the Bite!

One of the best sandwiches!

By Courtney W |

We read reviews that said "Best sandwich ever" and kind of giggled at them thinking they were a long stretch, but they really have the best sandwich ever. We were in San Francisco for 6 nights and ate her 3 different times. They make the sandwiches fresh and they aren't super duper expensive. We will definitely be back when we're in the area again!

The best sandwich I have ever had

By Arti C |

This was literally the best sandwich place I have ever been to. It doesn't look like much on the outside, very little seating to enjoy your sandwich but it's worth standing if you have to!

Great Takeaway Sandwiches

By Chris H |

This place has very limited outdoor seating, but we ordered and ran so it was fine. The sandwiches are amazing with so many choices to choose from. Definately recommend for a lunch or dinner on the go!

Seemed promising

By kse1 |

I made the decision to take my friend to Bite because we were both ravenously hungry and hungover. The sandwiches looked promising in photos I saw while reading reviews on my phone. So, we stumbled down Sutter, and after looking around under some scaffolding, found Bite. The sandwich shop is really small with no real seating area, but it didn't matter because we were taking the food to go. The service was a little dry, but its a deli. What did I expect? We ordered the Cowboy melt and the Firecracker. Prices were reasonable, and I want to say it came out to about $20 with drinks. We left and walked for a while to find somewhere to sit down, enjoy the view, and eat our sandwiches. I liked the Cowboy, although it needs some acidity to cut through the sweetness of the BBQ sauce. The real problem came when my friend was a little ways into his sandwich. It was hair. Not one hair, but two long black hairs in his sandwich. When you're already hungover from a long night of partying, and all you want to do is eat a big, tasty sandwich, the last thing you want is some hair inside. Neither of us have long hair, so I'm assuming it came from the shop. I asked if he wanted to walk back and tell them, but neither of us really felt like it. By this point, I was almost done, and we decided to call it a day. From the reviews at Bite, I feel like this isn't a common thing. It sure ruined our meal though. On any other day, when I was feeling a little better, I probably would've just walked back, showed them what was inside the sandwich, and asked them to fix it. Instead, I decided to put it behind me, take a nap, and probably not go back to Bite again.

Great Sandwich

By Erik |

Went here after reading some reviews online. It's a small cosy place, a few seats available outside, but more of a takeaway place I'd say. Good variety of sandwiches. I tried the gobbler, it was delicious! Good bread and fresh stuff in between. Recommend.

Best Sandwich EVER!

By Dawn J |

This little hole in the wall place has rotisserie chickens cooking all day and then uses them in a wide variety of creative sandwiches! I go back every time I am in San Francisco!!!

Awesome Sandwiches

By Sherpa07060024288 |

We were in SF for a calm, relaxing girls trip. After a long day sightseeing, we wanted a sandwich to eat in our hotel room. We looked online and found Bite had good reviews. I ate the turkey, bacon, avocado, blue cheese Gobbler sandwich and my sister ate the avocado, hummus, veggies Vegetarian Bite sandwich. Wow Wow Wow! They were delicious! The order was placed and served quickly. The staff was polite and professional. We can not wait to return.

Amazing sandwich shop

By stempster |

Hole in the wall that features real rotisserie chicken as the heart of many of its sandwiches. The Gouda Good is awesome. A huge surprise that this tiny place that is off the beaten path and is only open for carryout lunch orders can be this good.

Great sandwiches - but take-out only.

By Escarcha |

Bite kind of caught us off guard. It is basically a store front without any seating, so all orders are take-out. The two young men working there the night we stopped were talkative and entertaining. My wife and ordered two sandwiches ( the Gouda Good and the Moche Moche). Both are rotisserie chicken based with gouda cheese and pepperhouse sauce on the first, and teriyaki flavor and a tangy white sauce on the second. Bagged up, the two sandwiches weighted about 3 pounds. I should warn you to be careful eating the sandwiches because I had to squeeze the sandwiches to get a good bite and the sauces are a little runny. Value was good. In fact my wife and I could have split a sandwich and felt like we had a good meal.

Good spot for a sandwich

By Mark Z |

My wife and I decided to stop here since it was down the road from our hotel. Its a pretty small space with a little outside eating area. I ordered a peppered turkey sandwich on rye bread and why wife ordered a turkey sandwich on wheat bread. My sandwich, by far, was the best out of the two. The rye bread was fresh and the peppered turkey was really good. My wife's sandwich was Ok. The wheat bread was a little tough and not to flavorful, but it was not an awful sandwich. Overall we spent about $25 on two sandwiches, two drinks and a bag of chips. Not real cheap but cheaper than eating out at a restaurant. I'd recommend eating here if your in the mood for a solid sandwich and a not so pricey lunch option. I'll be stopping by this sandwich spot again on my next visit.

Very Tasty Sandwich Shop

By 89kenny |

My family and I recently had lunch here and it was a great sandwich shop. It's really small and a little cramped inside, but the food is tasty. They have a large selection of sandwiches and most are between $8.00 to $11.00. They also have a lot of salads to choose from. We would certainly eat here again.

Tasty sandwiches

By Raik P |

We just had landed and come into the city. We were tired and hungry. And then we already smelled the good food on the street. The place was crowded and there was a reason: a huge choice of wraps, salads & sandwiches. All freshly made. We had a Kookooroo and a NY at our first visit. Delicious! So it was no surprise that we came back 2 nights later to try the Turkey Club and the Branding Iron. Again just great. A good place for good sandwiches.

Great sandwich shop!

By Anne S |

I got an awesome sandwich here during my stay at a nearby hotel. They had lots of great options, many healthy choices and very reasonably priced.

Good quality subs

By RacJac123 |

I stopped in here late one night, by a recommendation from the hotel I was staying at. The quality of food is high and the staff very friendly. They have a nice selection of sandwiches, warm or cold, using Boars Head meat. They also have salads. From the outside it doesn't look like much, but make sure to stop in if you're craving a good quality sub. I'd definitely go hear again.

Delicious sandwiches

By Ruth M |

This place has a huge selection of sandwiches. The food is delicious and there is a great selection for carnivores. They all seem to come with cheese and the non-meat options are limited. Having said that you can put together your own.

Not good...

By Chuck S |

The service was just ok and the food was worse. Hard to mess up breakfast but they managed to do it. :-(

One of my favourite places in America

By Neill C |

Visited here whilst staying in Hotel Vertigo on honeymoon. Would grab a fantastic sub after a day of sightseeing and then trying out SF's bars. A great little place.

Follow the crowd

By Lindel H |

This small eatery was a few doors away from our hotel. After seeing queues constantly there we were interested to see why. I ordered a build your own vegetarian sandwich which was larger than life , fresh and delicious. Definitely worth a visit.

Great Sandwiches!

By Phil M |

Bite is a few doors down from my hotel during a recent stay, so I ate here a few times. Their sandwiches are excellent and they use quality ingredients. You can make your own, or select from a wide variety of options. I would recommend this place to anyone, you won't be disappointed!

My First Choice If I Ever Need a Place to Eat!

By Dimitri D |

I love this place. I live in a college dorm right around the corner from Bite. And let me tell you, whenever me and my friends are hungry and don't want to cook or spend a lot of money, we go here. The sandwiches are always excellent. And for my friend who can't have certain things, she can make a custom sandwich that she loves. This place is highly recommended, the people are always super nice and I've never had a bad experience here, with either the food or service.

Quick and tasty meal

By Rhiannon L |

We decided to pop into this place to grab some sandwiches to take back to our hotel for dinner, after a long day of sightseeing. We ordered a 'Branding Iron' which was roast beef, and also a barbeque chicken sandwich which I have forgotten the name of. Both were lovely and packed with fresh ingredients. The portions were huge and we probably could have got away with sharing one. We also picked up some crisps and Coke and I think it came to $25 in total. There are loads and loads of sandwiches to choose from, plus wraps and pasta salads too. The shop is very small with just a couple of stools to perch on, so you would probably want to get your food and eat somewhere outside.

You get pulled in from the smells outside!

By Grace A |

We discovered this place walking to our hotel when we first arrived to the city. We smelled the rotisserie chicken before we even got to the door of the little deli! We knew we had to stop by eventually, and lucky for us, our hotel was just a few buildings over! The meatball sub (called Vinny's Bag of Donuts) and their roast beef sandwiches were delicious! The staff is pretty awesome and I love the fact that they're open until 2am! I'm upset that I won't be able to eat another Bite sandwich until I find myself in SF again.

great sandwiches

By twienand78 |

I made the mistake of renting my apartment directly across the street from Bite. Very small cozy place, not seating or counter space to eat your sandwich but thats okay I just have to walk home across the street! I have had the New York New York, Vinny's Bag of Doughnuts, and the Gouda Good, all have been amazing! The coolest thing about this menu is they offer a build your own sandwich! Great joint that is open late night and pretty reasonable for what you get!

Delish!

By Dell R |

Popped in for lunch to take back to hotel. This a carry out place, although there were a couple of tables outside. Wraps, sandwiches, salads. They do their own rotisserie chicken there so the chicken is nicely herbed, tender and juicy. Plenty of ingredients in a regular size wrap which some might consider large. Vegetarian options on menu. Price around $8 on average, which is the going rate these days. 4 of us had no complaints and would definitely go back.

Big sandwich

By Bob D |

Little hole-in-the-wall sandwich shop just a few doors down from the hotel where I stayed. Needed an early supper and their huge sandwich provided everything I needed. I had turkey, and with all the toppings/condiments I got with it, I think the sandwich was at least 3-4 inches tall. I got a container of cole slaw with the sandwich, and while the slaw was not as good as the sandwich, it was still tasty. Price was reasonable, especially in San Francisco. Location near my hotel made it even more convenient. On-line reviews I read were mixed, but everything was fine for me. Would go back again.

An absolutely awesome sandwich in San Francisco.

By Roberts69 |

Whilst in San Francisco I wanted a sandwich and luckily I picked a sandwich shop (Bite) that made me one of the most awesome tasting sandwiches I have eaten in a long time. I had the 'Day After Thanksgiving' sandwich, a Turkey and Cranberry Sauce special on a French Roll and it was just delicious. Generously filled, perfectly toasted and full of flavours. Service was friendly and the owner was a very pleasant guy too. Thanks for a great sandwich.

Excellent Subs... Helpful Staff

By Phylly M |

Touring the Western USA..and this sub and sandwich shop was near our hotel. We stopped last night and purchased two subs returned tonight and purchased again. The subs are very tasty. The meat is good and they are toasted. Each had a unique name... Two subs we tried were Cowboy...and Moshe Moshe..we also had a turkey The owner was present when we were there. Subs are presented well. We really enjoyed these sandwiches.

BEST SANDWICH I HAVE EVER HAD!

By DaisyDot24 |

This place is near where I live and I stumbled in one afternoon looking for a quick sandwich. This was an out of this world sandwich, I have been wanting to go back everyday since. This will now be a regular lunch spot for sure, any negative reviews are bologna (no pun attended).

Good late night fare

By Douglas B |

1/2 chicken combo was good per my wife. I had the Kookooroo which was tasty, but a bit dry. Good service and fair price. price.price.TTake out

Good sandwiches!

By Sue W |

The sandwiches were delicious. The bread was fresh, chicken prepared on premises (you can see the rotisserie loaded up with chickens), fresh veggies. The Cowboy Melt and the Pulled Pork were yummy.

Excellent sandwiches!

By AGMGBG |

We didn't know what to eat for dinner and decided on sandiwiches. Hubby ordered and picked-up food - black forest ham on sourdough and build-your-own-turkey. They were delicious! They also have specialty sandwiches. Visit them when you're in the area!

Fabulous!!

By Mbeene |

We kept seeing the locals walking down the sidewalk with a white sandwich bag so, we knew something must be really good around the block. We walked several blocks until we asked a local where the sandwiches were coming from and got pointed in the right direction. We ordered the kitchen sink which had 7 meats and was no joke about 4 to 5 inches wide and 7 or 8 inches long. Tons of delicious meats and cheese heated with a pepper sauce and veggies! Out of this world tasty and filling. Best sandwich we ever had! This is a hidden gem where the locals go!

Great place

By Taz68Harrow |

Went here based on reviews and do not open until 11:00 so be mindful. Had a flour tortilla wrap and was lovely. Tortillas made on site. Staff friendly

Food was ok, delivery service needs work.

By BizTravlr801 |

I was in town for work and wanted to have a quiet dinner in my hotel. I used Eat24 (which I have used many times before) to find a local restaurant that would that would deliver to my hotel. I thought them menu looked good, so I ordered a create your own sandwich, macaroni salad and a Coke. There is a section for 'notes' when you create your own sandwich and I asked for Mayo on the side. There was also a screen to request 'other' stuff. I requested salt, pepper, napkins, paper plates and utensils. These were all check boxes - I was selecting items from their lists. When the delivery came, they guy handed me the bag and turned and left before I could even check it. I went up to my room find a sandwich, napkins, coke and macaroni salad. No mayo, salt, pepper, plate or utensils! Did I mention I got macaroni salad? The macaroni salad was mediocre, at best, nothing exciting. The sandwich was good, but could have used some mayo. Overall, the meal was ok, but the service was definitely lacking.

Just arrived in SF

By Gregory W |

We just got to our hotel and were starving having arrived from the East Coast. Front Desk recommended the burger place across the street. Wow! Very delicious, cool specialties, and affordable. We were given some complimentary onion rings to boot. The "bomb" could not be finished by my son.

A Standout

By CJ G |

In a city that is mostly devoid of great sandwiches, Bite is a standout. The tiny shop is easy to miss, but for those that persevere it's well worth the walk from Union Square. The New York New York sandwich with pastrami, bacon, and Swiss cheese on sourdough was perfect. The meat was cooked to the right level of doneness, the toppings were delicious without being so voluminous as to squirt out the sides of the sandwich, and the bread was toasted so that it was crunchy, but not burned. The Rotisserie chicken sandwich was tender and tasty. Stacked almost a mile high, the seven meat layered was large enough to be easily shared by two. Great sandwiches on toasty fresh bread with straight-from-the-market ingredient at a fair price and a lolly pop for dessert. How great is that?!

Worth it!

By mha323 |

I stayed at the hotel next door and this place was by far the highlight of my stay! Tiny place but BIG flavor. Check them out!

Deli gem in lower Nob Hill

By JuWo888 |

The Bite was recommended to us during our recent visit to SF. It was close to our hotel and is a great place to get sandwiches and salads. They use high quality meats (Boar's Head) and fresh breads for the sandwiches and also offer rotisserie chicken on salads and in their sandwiches. They have a variety of sandwiches with inventive combinations. Definitely worth it.

A regular stop

By su432 |

I visit San Francisco twice a year, and always visit Bite for the best sandwiches I've ever had. Their "Day After Thanksgiving" sandwich is amazing! This establishment is tiny, but the tables outside are perfect for people watching.

Out of this world

By Caroline A |

We stumbled across this place by accident as our hotel was a couple of doors away. Wow! The sandwiches are amazing and they have so much choice. We were only in San Francisco for 3 nights but ended up coming here a couple of times. Would definately recommend a visit.
