| - The sandwiches were pretty impressive on the first visit to this cute beach themed place. The pig kahuna that my husband ordered had bbq pork that was sweetened and topped with chunks of juicy pineapple. My "small" sized sandwich, if you want to call it that had pastrami, bacon and cream cheese which was stacked pretty high. All the sandwich combos sounded great and tasted really good. There is no table service. You order and pay at the counter and your food is brought out to you.
The staff was friendly and helpful, met and chatted with the owner who was really enthusiastic and come to find out he also grew up in the Bay Area. But subsequent visits here were a tad disappointing. I met up with a friend of mine for lunch few days later. I ordered a different sandwich, Haole Pizza and my friend had the Santa Cruz. I don't know mine tasted too salty, maybe it was because it was the meats weren't the best quality. But even the presentation was a bit sloppy, like it was just thrown together and same went for my friends sandwich, it was just thrown together, unlike how mine looked originally. It also took awhile for the sandwiches to be done because there were 3 orders ahead of us first and only 2 ladies working the counter. Maybe because it was different staff?? So this visit wasn't quite as impressive as the first. And I was disappointed because I dragged my friend here, when we would've gone somewhere else that day.
I came back couple weeks later again for lunch and ordered one of the sandwiches we had in the first place, the Pig Kahuna and this time around I had the Surfin Cow. Now that was pretty good, the lean roast beef stacked high, but Mr. B's sandwich, the Pig Kahuna wasn't as impressive this time around. It was drowned more in sauce and just had a few pineapple chunks that dotted his sandwich. It tasted just way too salty as well because of all the sauce. He was fine with it, but I just have a thing for when there is lack of consistency when your food is prepared. So I havent been really motivated to come back as of late. Sorry.
