    Everything is amazing—food, staff, ambiance. The garlic french roll is perfectly soft (like ciabatta) but doesn’t fall apart at all. Love the pepperoncini blend (it’s genius)! Portions are massive.Go!

    The big, honking sandwiches at this five-year-old spot in SoMa come with the East Coast lineage of owner Adam Mesnick. You'll find a slew the original creations and end up saving half for later. Read more

    The Fatty Matty is great! Bread is warm and soft, but crispy on the edges. Ratio of fillings is just right. Combination of ingredients is unique. And the pickles are perfectly crisp and tart.

    Ruby Claire was pretty great. Corned beef, Romanian pastrami, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and 1000 Island served on a warm French roll. I'm full but the fat kid inside me wants another.

    one of the best sandwich in SF! their dutch cruch & french rolls are really good. Boca, Kevin(with chicken salad), gold-n-berge-n-stein♡but with the tomato bisque from soup company, zeke is perfect!

    The Mezman (romanian pastrami, deviled egg salad, muenster cheese, garlic dutch crunch, etc.) is maybe the best pastrami sandwich I've ever had. Also, you read that right: pastrami and egg salad.

    for vegetarians, the egg salad, falafel, or a cheese/avocado sandwich are all great options. board sauce and stadium mustard are 👍🏽

    The Mezman sandwich was pretty damn good (pastrami, deviled egg salad, muenster, cherry peppers, pickles, Board sauce, and on that amazing garlic dutch crunch bread), but sammies are hella expensive.

    Best sandos in SF but you will pay out the wazoo for the pleasure. The hot sauces are also bomb!

    Haven't had a bad sandwich yet, but pay attention to the specials—they're often made with ingredients not found on any other item, and are truly "special."

    Be prepared to wait a bit. Incredible pastrami, also a fan of the Tenenbaum on Dutch Crunch. Board sauce is phenomenal with their house fries.

    Don't forget, you can always mix-and-match meats (e.g. brisket + pastrami, or brisket + pastrami + salami). They'll proportion the sandwich correctly so it's just the right amount of overwhelming.

    Don't fret about deciding amongst the huge selection. Make sure yours has pastrami + brisket + pepperoncini spread + some sort of cheese. You can't go wrong. If they have the JT, you have to get it.

    Everything is delicious but what's special about Deli Board are the Romanian pastrami and corned beef from Cleveland. Get a sando with either -- or both! -- and you'll be richly rewarded.

    I had the pastrami sandwich. Very good. Sad that they don't have rye bread though for it. It would have been perfect.

    This SoMa deli doesn’t pull any punches when it comes to heaping finely-crafted meats onto its pillow rolls. The menu changes daily, but it always includes Romanian pastrami. Read more

    You're going to question why you're paying $15+ for a sandwich, but no matter what you choose, it's money well spent. The Kuip and the Ron are my current favorites, but menu changes frequently.

    Sandwiches filled to the max with meaty goodness. The Fatty Matty with albacore tuna salad, felafel and other goodies is very tasty. Their XXX Buffalo Sauce is no joke spice wise.

    Wow. It was fast and I haven't had such an incredible sandwich in a long while. Try the Mezman -- the hot pastrami was perfect, and not too greasy! #drool

    The Mezman is the perfect sandwich. It has everything I would want on a sandwich: pastrami, deviled egg salad, muenster, jalepenos, pickles and board sauce on hot-toasted garlic dutch crunch (!)

    The legendary place with extremely delicious sandwiches. Be ready to wait for them for about 20 minutes, but they worth it.

    the bread has the perfect combo of soft and crunchy and the fillings are good but $16-18 is flat out too much for a sandwich

    So happy to have a quality sandwich shop in the neighborhood. This place is excellent. Service is very friendly too. They play tunes on vinyl too which is such a cool idea.

    I went with the Leroy Brown and it was one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had in my life. Worth every penny.

    Perfect lunchtime spot for a jury duty recess. Try the smoked salmon salad with dill dressing... Despite the name, I have no regrets!

    Deli Board does man sandwiches and two meal salads. You really can't go wrong here and ALWAYS check the daily specials board.

    Ron sandwich is my kind of thing with the cheddar and roast beef. Eat half for lunch, and save the rest for a snack!

    The $$$ is the best sandwich I've ever had. Hands down. Though you really can't go wrong with any sandwich on this menu.

    What a solid sandwich??? Try something from the board itself. You can build your own, but the specials are super good when you can't make your mind!!!

    They call their own sandwiches "intimidating" and their sauces "in-your-face," but really what it's all about here is the quality of the meat, especially the pastrami. Read more

    If you arrive at noon, you won't wait in line. If you arrive at 12:30pm, the line could be out the door. Yes, even on a Monday.

    Not all items on the board last forever. Try as many as you can because they're all good. Mind the daily specials as well.

    Killer pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, get there before noon to avoid the rush. Don't forget the pickle!

    you'd think that putting falafel on a tuna melt would be crazy. and you'd be right - this is the Fatty Matty and it's crazy delicious.

    This place is going to be acquired by Google purely for its prowess engineering the structural integrity of meat to bread. Get the $$$$ if you want to get serious.

    Honestly great sandwiches! A bit pricy, average is $15. But you should split it with your friend cause a sandwich will be huge.

    Make your own BLT. It's okay that they dont have tomatoes. Avocado, sprouts, pickled onion, pepperocini and board sauce and you are a happy, happy camper.

    If you're here with someone from Pinterest, ask them to take your sandwiches back to the office and eat on the roof.
