Sandwich Man — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I've had better. Really disappointing.

I'd been meaning to try out this place for a while, as I like small one-off restaurants. Walking in, it is spartan. no real decor to speak of. The space is inhabited with vinyl and metal chairs, and scuffed, laminated press-board tables. The wall behind the counter and the glass in front is garishly plastered with images of sandwiches. While I don't mind a couple here and there, this was more like food meets comic book.

Prices were a bit high as others have noted. In hind sight, I'd have to say the prices were quite high considering the quality of the food. The average price seems to be around $7-$8 depending on the sandwich. Fries or onion rings are another $2.50 approximately, and add a couple more for drinks.

My friend's Club looked to be the better choice of what we ordered. However, the turkey looked pressed rather than fresh. The sandwich seemed small too. My Reuben was pretty awful. The sauerkraut was limp (if that's the word to use) and seemed old. The corned beef was tasteless and dry. Parched. The potato salad that came with the sandwich was a plain affair with no celery or any other additions. Simply mayo and potatoes.

I can't say the place was dirty, but I can't say it was exuding cleanliness either. The lack of decor and drab walls and floor only added to the depressive atmosphere. It was institutional in quality. I noticed by the register, menus that said "We're Back." Personally, I won't be. My guess is that whatever put them out for a while, will do so again. There isn't anything that I can see to make...

Sandwich Man has been a beloved part of the San Fernando Valley since 1977, and it’s easy to see why. This charming, deli-style restaurant offers a warm, nostalgic feel along with a menu full of comforting favorites sandwiches, salads, omelets, french toast, and more.

I visited for the very first time and was pleasantly surprised to find a cozy indoor dining area, which turned out to be the perfect spot to catch up with a friend. I ordered the Mile High Pastrami sandwich, and I loved that you can choose your bread. I went with sourdough, but the staff mentioned that most people prefer it on rye. The sandwich comes with a choice of potato salad or coleslaw—I chose the coleslaw, and it was absolutely delicious. To my delight, it also came with a pickle, which, in my opinion, makes every meal better.

My friend ordered the Italian Club sandwich, which looked just as amazing, and added a side of chips to round it out. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming, patiently walking us through the menu and offering helpful suggestions. Their kindness and attention made the experience even more enjoyable. Will definitely...

This place was on my list of "must visit" places. So I was driving by and decided to give it a try. Small restaurant, very clean, with photos of the menu. That turned me off right away but I decided to stay - maybe the food would be great? I went with Philly cheesesteak - I tried it a lot of different places and I know the good one taste. The order was ready in few mins. Decent size, good looking and presentation was great. The sandwich was very bland. Not tasty at all. This is the one your dad would do not knowing how. The coleslaw was good - fresh, and moderately sweet. When I finished the first half of the sandwich the second got soaked. The temperature inside was 80 degrees according to the AC controller and it felt rather uncomfortable on a hot day. And they charge me $19 for a medium size bland sandwich and medium size decent coleslaw. Its not tasty and overpriced. 3 stars would be the best score for this place but the price was brutal so 2 stars and I am...
