Beach Hut Deli — Restaurant in Santa Cruz

I went to Beach Hut yesterday on 10/07/2023. I wanted to like this place because my friends said that the Sandwiches were amazing...but my very first order was TERRIBLE. I live across town from this place so it takes 10-15 to get there...... so 3 of us placed our orders at the same time 5:58pm. Got a text acknowledgement from toast and then on the Web site the order tracker said it would be ready at 6:18pm. 1st person, a salad and a sandwich, 2nd person two sandwiches and a nacho, 3rd person 2 sandwich. When we got there a few min. Before the estimated ready time, nothing was done yet, so we went next door to the liquor store bought a lot of cold drinks and headed back over. 1st person was done when we got back so us other 2, we waited. At 6:35pm number 2 was ready.(He had Nachos) At 6:45 I asked about my order and the Sandwich maker said they were busy. At 6:53 they called my name and I got a text from toast right after and for the inconvenience he said I could have a bag of chips. I was upset but willing to let it ride. We get back to the house....person number 1 was done correctly, Person number 2..Nachos were soggy due to the long wait and his Daughters Ham sandwich which was supposed to be ham, lettuce and Avo had ONLY Ham and mayo. Person number 3 (me) I ordered the sandwich with jalapeno as well as with the veggies that were described in the app. I got no Jalapenos or the Italian peppers. 2nd Sandwich had no pickles. Seem like small problems but... If we have to wait almost a full hour for Sandwiches, we should have got our order correctly. We have many sandwich places to go to, but we chose the Beach Hut. I understand that sometimes things happen but It was just very frustrating and very time consuming. Maybe the "when it will be ready" needs to be adjusted or an extra person helping or ??? I saw other people in the back but none made it to the front end except one girl. The Sandwich I had was really good, I just didn't have what I asked for AND I waited a little shy of 1 hour. Not sure I...

I was in Santa Cruz about 2 months ago on a business trip and I stayed at the Hotel Paradox. I asked if they could recommend a place nearby where I could get a bite to eat and have a beer or two and they recommended Beach Hut Deli which is located a block's walk from the hotel. Being that I was in Santa Cruz I decided to get the signature sandwich The Santa Cruz and it was amazing. I also was able to try a couple of local Santa Cruz beers and they were great as well. Needless to say the sandwich and beers I had were great but what is also worth mentioning is the staff and their customers are very friendly too. I sat at the bar in between a fisherman and a Silicon Valley lawyer and they welcomed me right into the conversation they were having and I felt like I knew both for many years. Thank you Beach Hut Deli and Santa Cruz for making a guy from out of town feel welcomed. I'll certainly see you all again when I'm back in...

I can’t say enough good things about Beach Hut Deli! If you’re looking for a relaxed, beachy vibe paired with amazing sandwiches, this is the place. The atmosphere is fun and laid-back, with a cool coastal theme.

The star of the show for me was the Cali Cheese Steak. It’s seriously one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. The meat was tender, the cheese perfectly melted, and the pepperoncini’s were flavorful. They really nail the balance of flavors in every bite. The unique combinations on their menu are incredible, and there’s something for everyone.

And don’t skip dessert! The chocolate chip cookie was deliciously soft and warm, with gooey chocolate chunks in every bite. It had that perfect balance of chewy and crispy edges, making it impossible to resist.

The staff was super friendly, and the service was quick.I absolutely recommend checking out Beach Hut Deli if you’re craving an unforgettable...
