This was our first time coming here, but it will not our last. We stopped in, unexpectedly, on our way to the San Francisco Zoo. Our attention was grabbed by their enticing sandwich board. They have an amazing selection of sandwiches and hamburgers, all made fresh and with love. And, at a great price too!
