Awasome friendly and helpful service! I found myself starving and stuck in down town and am on a postop liquid based restricted diet. The guy at the counter(east coast possible owner) was right on it and hooked me with an amazing creamy pinto bean soup. Great atmosphere. Simple and chill. Very east coast vibe. Love it.

Incredibly delicious and plentiful. Great prices. Fast and friendly family shop. And so much variety! Not just sandwiches! Soups, salads, snacks, drinks and smoothies. Get in there already and leave a tip ?
Sandwich was great! Busy little deli. Too many homeless

What an amazing experience. I was in a hurry on my way to catch the train at Santa Fe Station and needed something for my 8 hour ride. I found this sweet little deli and thought I'd give it a try. What a wonderful find. The gentleman behind the counter was so kind and helpful with my request to have a vegetarian option. He gave me great advice and suggested #17 on rye and mustard and it was perfect! Best part was that he chatted me up and laughed with me. Made me feel welcome and special. Eating my yummy sandwich now in my seat on the train . Thank you B.B Deli for keeping me from starving while traveling.

By far the best sandwich spot in SD!! Super lovely and friendly owner. This is my absolute favorite place to come and have lunch with friends. Good environment and even better food. I order the chicken pesto sandwich and it never disappoints! The sandwich fills me up and I usually still have more for later! Highly recommend this spot!

One of the most refreshing deli places I've ever had!BB's Deli was nothing short of astounding. From the moment I put a foot in the door I was greeted by the most wonderful owners I've ever met. The shop as well felt very comforting having the interests of the owners scattered around everywhere. Whilst waiting for the food, it was entertaining to look around to see all the things you can find. I took a gamble in ordering the 5th avenue sandwich as it contained mustard, and I hate mustard. However, the sandwich was so perfectly balanced with flavors that for the first time I actually loved the mustard. The prices these days on sandwiches are greatly exaggerated but at BBs Deli I considered each one of them to be at an actual fair price. If you have the time and are around, I highly recommend you get a bite at this deli. You won't be disappointed.
This deli is so delicious! Whoa! I meant the food is! The deli is perfectly set in between great businesses, and has a lively seen all around. The food!?! No one can make a sandwich like BB’s! 20 years I’ve been grabbing lunch & breakfast there. The employees are kind, and fast, and still pay attention to each detail of my sandwich! The owner has a fun spirit about him as well. Make sure to try it out, only if you are okay with having “your go to spot” from now on.

Little mom and pop hole in the wall sandwich shop. Average price of their delicious sandwiches around $10. Gets very busy at lunch time, but quick service. Friendly staff

This place will definitely become a regular deli for me, there’s just way too many things on the menu I want to try. Everyone here is incredibly amicable and makes your experience feel like home. The food is just so amazingly delicious, I would never get tired of it.

One of the best sandwiches in downtown San Diego. There are so many options to choose from so if you’re stuck between them all the New Yorker and the West Cost are the sandwiches to try. Please stop by if you are in downtown!!
Good experience.
