West Coast Sourdough - Chico Notre Dame — Restaurant in Chico

I had been wanting to try this place for a while because of the high rating (4.8). I went on my lunch break today and did not think to order ahead because I work nearby. Ordered a hot pastrami with $2 of extra meat. $20.55 total after $2.51 tip. It took 34 minutes from the time printed on my receipt to the time I got the sandwich. I understand it's busy at lunch time, but that is a very long time to make a sando.

They should say on their website/menu that it may take over 30 minutes to get your food, so if you need to be anywhere soon, you will definitely have to order ahead of time if you want to make it to where you need to be on time. The guy who handed my sando to me was apologetic, which I appreciate, but it doesn't change the fact that I had to take an extra 15 minutes for my lunch break. Also, I ordered extra meat, but the standard amount of meat must be tiny because there is definitely not a lot of meat on this one. See photo.

A coupon for a free sando would get me back in the door, but as of now, I don't intend on going back. I can get a better hot pastrami at Chico Locker and Sausage or Spiteri's for a much lower price. The meat locker's pastrami is the best in town, and if you order extra meat at Spiteri's, you won't be disappointed in the...

Disclaimer: we waited in line for free sandwiches. However we paid for bacon/avocado and soup.

Daughter really enjoyed her turkey sandwich, absolutely loved the bread.

Wife loved the turkey pesto, said she’ll definitely return.

I got the turkey and added the bacon/avocado. The bread is fantastic. Nice crunch with that soft delicious inside. Turkey was juicy and tender. The avocado was fresh and flavorful. The bacon was a bit of a let down with the small amount and lack of flavor. Overall I did enjoy the sandwich but I may order something different and skip the bacon next time.

We also tried the broccoli and cheese soup which was nice and warm and cheesy. Some solid broccoli chunks too. Would order again if we come on a Saturday.

I also have to say everyone was nice and helpful and it was a Busy day considering it was the free sub day for the first 200 people. But Charanjot was so nice and caring. Always checking in on our during the wait. Brought us water and even cookies. She...

Decided to eat here after our first choice was closed for the weekend, and couldn't be happier. The people working were very friendly and extremely pleasant to talk with. The food is priced about average with every other place these days, and the quality of the food seemed above average, definitely better than a typical fast food/burger place for the price.

I got a French Dip and my wife got a grilled chicken pesto, both sandwiches were exactly what we were craving and we had zero complaints. The house sauce was great on the sandwiches and the sourdough was tasty and soft, with a great crust. Our kids got turkey and cheese, and because they love sourdough, opted to put their sandwiches on the bread instead of the wheat. The kids meals offered a good amount of food for the price and the real test is if a 3 and 5 year old finish their food - which they did. My 3 year old even told the staff they are the best cooks ever.

We'll definitely be back next...
