    My all time favorite is the "world's healthiest salad" not because it is really healthy but because the hazelnuts, sultana raisins, beet, carrots tangerines are an unlikely but heavenly combination.

    Best sandwiches ever. Healthy or unhealthy... Your choice! Try their famous pork belly bahn mi or my favorites (drunkin goat on highway & modern tuna melt)!

    I got the pork belly banh mi per recommendations. My husband got the chefs recommendation: short rib French onion melt on a pretzel roll. Mine was good but I was jealous of his after one bite

    I love the pork belly bahn mi. The line can be intimidating especially at the lunch rush which is why I call my order in ahead and they usually have it ready in 15-20 minutes.

    Mendo's hiring manager(s) (all locations really) should be commended. These employees are the friendliest most professional food service folks in the business. 100% of them.

    vegan review: they have options but nothing amazingly delicious. do enjoy getting samples of the salad bar and that most are vegan. wish the soup or chili came w crackers or bread, really 😩

    I've tried (& liked) quite a few menu items, but the spicy lemongrass steak bahn mi is the best by far. l tend to remove a few hot peppers to lessen the kick, but this sandwich is perfection.

    There are a variety of amazing artisanal sandwiches. With an ever changing menu. They also have Boylan's soda for fountain drinks.

    The Sophisticated Chicken Salad (with extra chicken) is hands down the best salad I've ever had. So amazing! You won't be disappointed!

    Well it's official.. Came here three days in a row and it's incredible. No matter what sandwich you get, order is country club style aka a side of mustard pickle roumulade

    I dream of the Love sandwich. The line is usually out the door during lunch hour but moves pretty quick. I'm not even a soda person, but their fountain drinks are the bomb.

    Great sandwiches, but make sure you take into account their sides as they're not on the menu or offered when you first make your order.

    Worth crazy wait. Grab menu while in line. Someone will take your order then turn round the corner, pay and taste samples (curried couscous was amazing). Wait for your name to be called :). Enjoy!

    The soda is made from sugar cane. Bonus points. They are also very generous with the samples. Love the service and good food.

    The food is as good as everyone says. Go earlier in the day to avoid the rush. The later at night you go the fewer options there are.

    It may be slightly more expensive but it's worth it. The farm club is delish.real carved turkey. Whole wheat bread is awesome. Service is friendly& attentive. Try the natural / no corn syrup soda.

    amazing sandwiches! everything is delicious but the spicy steak banh mi (a seasonal sammie for spring) has a special place in my heart. comes with raw chili slices so it's not for the weak.

    As someone from Mendocino County, I had to try this place. So glad I did! The salad was fresh and had the right balance of ingredients - yummy! And, my soup was great, too.

    Great lunch spot, but I cannot understand why they encourage the staff to constantly yell while you eat. The food is great, but the yelling is obnoxious and gets really old, really fast

    the passion fruit ice tea is good, it's got a subtle flower taste to it and it's not sweet. they brew it fresh in house!

    Noon lunchers will create quite the wait. Try going here before 11:30am or after 1:30pm if you need to get in & out. Or order by phone for pick-up!

    The Pork Belly Bahn Mi is a must. They also have the only Boylans Cane Soda Fountain I've ever seen. Prepare for a crazy lunchtime wait.

    Reliably good sandwiches. They let you try samples of their sides as well if you're into that. Loud atmosphere. Unfortunately in the hustle and bustle, all the staff seems mismanaged and unorganized.

    Best bet to call ahead to order instead of waiting in line! Can't go wrong with any sandwich here. I like to ask for their recommendation of the day.

    Even though it may not be on the menu the "Three Little Pigs" is an amazing sandwich. Pulled pork, roasted pork, and bacon with avocado caramelized onions among other great ingredients

    No matter what sandwich you get, you can't go wrong. Don't forget the free samples because the salads and potato salads are devine.

    If you come here on a weekend, during lunchtime, expect to wait a very long time and deal with wildly inefficient workers and annoying customers. But the food is probably worth it!
