Love you guys but $17+ sandwiches is absurd. I know inflation has hit everybody hard but this kinda pricing is the cause of inflation. I will remove this rating once your prices come down to something more reasonable. Not to mention actually coming to your fine establishment.

The food is amazing, the owner is so thoughtful and helpful. The place is clean, and puts off a great vibe. Our new go-to spot!

The first and last place I eat when coming through Carlsbad. This is THE deli to get your sandwiches. Great beers too

This place is the real deal. Sandwiches are well-proportioned, taste great, and use great ingredients. Staff in particular are such a treat; always friendly and actually feel like real people rather than just some dude who works there. You can tell a lot of passion goes into this place. Last sandwich nearly brought me to tears from how good it was. I'm not kidding. Make sure to try the Philly cheesesteak and the cheeseburger sandwiches, you won't regret it.

It's soooo dank and the dude that runs the cash register is the coolest dude in the world, I think he owns it. Definitely gotta eat any sandwich from here!

The food was amazing. And the staff was super cool. Can't wait to go back. By far my favorite Greek salad I've had.

Hands down one of the best sandwich spots I ever had. My 1st visit I got the Greek sandwich OMG so much flavor and it was huge.. One sandwich can feed two people.. I went back the next day with my 12 year old son. He's never had deli sandwich outside our home. He was eager to try since I was raving about the food to everyone. He wanted to try the chicken bacon ranch. He ate the entire sandwich I'd say it's kid / teen approved. I got the GREEK salad and it did not disappoint. Huge portions lots of flavor and I love that the serving for salad dressing / condiments are perfect not stingy at all.. 10/10 strongly recommended- can't forget about the customer service it was AMAZING too ! The owner was so helpful, nice and had great suggestions on what we may like with both visits !

The bbq chicken sandwich was ok. Nothing to rave about. Actually made me feel sick. But the staff was 100% great and so was the inside. But with all the great reviews maybe I'll try it again and order something else

Stumbled upon the Hungry Bear Deli while on a Target run for some vacation essentials. Saw the excellent reviews and stopped in to pick up dinner for the family. The gentleman working the counter, perhaps even the owner was very helpful and personable. He helped us choose a variety of sandwiches and salads for us to share. The salad and sandwiches we got were okay. Nothing to rant and rave about, yet not terrible. The disappointment came in the lack of meat in the sandwiches. I expected more meat for a $11-$14 sandwich. The cheesesteak was underwhelming because we couldn't taste the steak. Would I return? If I was in the area, sure I would try them again. I would not make a special trip, out of my way, just to eat here again.

Always fresh, varied menu. We eat here regularly - love their generous meat portions in the sandwiches. I wish the kid's options were more appropriately sized.
Massive, delicious sandwiches and cookies. Good beer selection too. Staff has always been friendly.

One of the best if not the best tuna sandwich and melt in USA. The owner and staff are genuine and always welcoming.

Wow, what Service. The Timeless Deli Classic Rueben Sandwich. So delicious. I thoroughly enjoyed the decor as well as the Vibe of this deli. So inviting.

Expensive but at least it doesn't smell like nasty mop water *cough*JERSEYMIKES*cough*. They ask what you want on your sandwich instead of having default ingredients so it's easy to go overboard and get unnecessary stuff in your sandwich. Keep it simple and you'll be good. Love the beer selection and they always have cool music. The staff is super nice too.

This is the best deli I have been to for the first time in a super long time. I was in the area for a work trip, and wanted an easy dinner. Little did I know I would encounter the friendliest cashier and try the juiciest mushroom burger-sub ever! The atmosphere of this establishment is upbeat and inviting. I had such a wonderful experience after a long day, and it was just what I needed - smiles from all the staff, including the chefs. The food was so comforting and unique - I have truly never tried a better balanced sandwich. The portions are also HUGE, so it's definitely worth the price. If I'm near this area again, I would go out of my way to come back!!!
