    Pretty unassuming, tucked away into a back alley. As soon as you turn the corner though - the fresh bakery smell wafts through the air. Pulled pork sandwich is perfect, light & tangy.

    Strawberry lemonade is trending this week and right at the top of our list for the best in the city is this popular sandwich shop. Quench your thirst as the weather starts to heat up in the Bay Area. Read more

    Got the pulled pork sandwich for 11$, it was REALLY good. Went around 12:20ish there was a line, but mine came quick (before the group that all ordered the short rib sandwich).

    The short rib sandwich is awesome. It's almost like a Barbacoa. Delicious.

    Food is good. I come here frequently. Enacted 10 minimum on cards recently. Would have been nice to know ahead of time. Kinda leaves a bad taste in the mouth on an otherwise great place.

    Sibling restaurant to The Sentinel. Different but just-as-good selection of sandwiches and just-as-friendly staff.

    Really good and mostly healthy lunches to go. Show up early as they typically sell out.

    Everything here is great. Really. Even if it has cilantro (which I usually despise), like the curried cauliflower sandwich.

    If they're doing the cornbread with chorizo gravy, get it! It's unreal.

    Just ridiculously good sandwiches, on bread that is surely crafted by angels.

    Write your order down for them. Worst service ever. Had to ask my order four times and they got the other three orders for customers in line wrong as well. Hard to believe this is owned by Sentinel
