Sweet & Savory Gourmet

Not only did Mike the owner, bail me out of a caterer who cancelled at very last minute, he did an outstanding job! He is my new caterer for sure, and everyone at my event will be using him for their catering needs, too! Thanks to Mike for his great integrity and skills!

The tri tip sandwich is awesome. I’d suggest to pay extra and order it with extra meat. Each sandwich comes with a complimentary cookie. This isn’t Subway. This isn’t a deli counter at a liquor store. This is fresh, high quality ingredients, made with tender loving care. I don’t frequent Sweet and Savory as much as I’d like. I’ll hit the parking lot, change my mind, and go next door to Maritza’s. But, even if I haven’t been around for awhile, Mike always remembers me and my order. That’s pretty impressive considering all the business he does (most of which I presume is catering). Great service, great food, plenty of parking. Sweet and Savory isn’t cheap. But you get what you pay for. Thanks Mike, for consistently being on top of the sandwich game.

Mike is that man, this place is fire. Sandwiches are the best in San Diego. I’d recommend it to anyone looking for some bomb food.

I’ve known the owner for about 8 years now. I frequently use caters for my business. This place is my favorite. I am not even a sandwich person, but Mike’s sandwiches are simply gourmet and taste amazingly good. I like the quality and freshness of the food, as well as the reliability of the delivery service

Talk about hidden gems. this place is killer! Nestled in a quiet part of Clairemont this place is the perfecto quick stop when u want a delicious sandwich… the ingredients you can tell are so fresh and the guys are so classic and into their food art! They even cook fresh take home dinners every day! Come on that’s some good ol fashion neighborly love! Tri tip is the specialty but trust me everything is good

This place is a total hidden gem. The sandwiches are unbelievably tasty and very reasonably priced. My absolute favorite is The Club although every sandwich I’ve had from them has been really good. They have take out dinners that are really good and very convenient if you are in a hurry and want something a lot better than fast food. You should call in advance though since they do sell out of certain items.
Lastly, the owner Mike is awesome. He has been at this location for a while and all of the locals in this area definitely appreciate his friendliness and his food. Super great guy all around.

This place never disappoints! If you like subway and how minimal it is then move along this place isn’t for you. This place boasts gourmet fine ingredients along with thinking outside the box. Mike truly understands what makes a quality product whether it be his sandwiches or his take home «heat n’ eat» dinners. He’s also catered a few events for me in the past and its always a hit.
I highly recommend him whether you just want an easy dinner/​sandwich or if you need catering, Mike is your guy. My favorite is the tri tip sandwich.

These are amazing sandwiches and Mike is super nice. Really fair prices for a quality product. Quick service for freshly made take out. My husband and I shared the club and the tritip. We loved both. Such good bacon!

First time trying the place. I live in the neighborhood and pass by often. It’s hard to notice it’s even there but I tried the tri tip sandwich and was very impressed. Great flavor perfectly roasted meat crusty bread, overall just a well done simple and delicious sandwich. Will be back soon.

I always make a point of coming here when I visit San Diego. This place is a little out of the way, hole in the wall kinda place but you will NOT find better sandwiches anywhere else. My fave by far is the tri tip, but they’re all fantastic. The tri tip comes on ciabatta with tomatoes, cheese, mayo etc, and if you pick up some beer next door… A perfect meal!
Last time I was here I got a small sample of the Caesar salad and seriously, I could drink the dressing.
They also do dinners every night now, their menu changes weekly.
This is not a sit down place… Just fyi. It’s catering and food to go — not that Mike isn’t friendly! Great local business. Will always support these guys.

Great sandwiches, great salads, great everything! The heat & eat meals are the perfect size and delicious. We live real close, so it’s a life saver when we have nothing ready for dinner.

My favorite «deli» in SD so far — not sure if you can call this a deli as he doesn’t use deli meats, but sliced roast turkey, tri-​tip, and chicken breast. The owner is a caterer, but runs this deli on weekdays. Sandwiches are all made to order and have fresh, gourmet ingredients. Everything is made in-​house and sides/​soups vary day to day. Haven’t had anything I — or husband, parents or friends — didn’t like. The Mac & cheese side was heavenly (wish he made it regularly), minestrone soup was flavorful, cookies are fresh & tasty, and all the sandwiches I’ve tried were unique and amazing. Mmm mmm mmm!

Had a Unilocal deal for BOGO free essentially and decided to try it out. We got a tri tip and a turkey brie, which both were delicious. Would definitely recommend the tri tip, the brie could be a little intense if you don’t love brie. Love that they came with soft chocolate chip cookies!
Affordable prices and delicious sandwiches. Will definitely be coming back!

Hell yes!
Sweet and Savory Gourmet was awesome for our catering needs! Mike was so accommodating and flexible with our last minute coordination. He obviously works hard to please his customers, and gets the job done well!
The food was for sure a hit at our party. A great variety of apps & finger foods did the trick for our guests! If you want efficient business with a local vibe, Sweet & Savory Gourmet is my recommendation!

For fans of hidden, hole– in– the– wall type joints, this is for you.
It doesn’t look like much and you can’t even sit down.
Heck you can hardly stand at the counter, there is so little room!
The guy who made my sandwich was like a few days new, so I was concerned that my sandwich might not be so great, but it was! :)
He filled it up, just like the pictures on Unilocal show.
He was courteous and the ingredients were great.
I had the Turkey Brie sandwich… the bread was delicious, crusty and savory at the same time… the turkey was plump and juicy, the brie was plenteous and the cranberry mayo was flavorful… BUT they should add some straight up cranberry to oomph up the cranberry flavor.
All in all, I’d like to go back and try another flavor sandwich. I liked it well enough :)
TIP: It’s not easy to find, it feels like you are driving to nowhere, in the middle of a neighborhood.

This establishment is at such an odd location. It’s pretty much in a very low key plaza in the middle of a neighborhood somewhere is Clairemont. I work about a block away and was in search of something healthy to eat for lunch and stumbled upon this place on Unilocal.I checked out the menu and everything just sounded delicious.
I called in and placed an order for the portobello sandwich and a tri tip sandwich. When I came to pick it up– the owner said he actually was out of portobello. In my mind I was like ‘noooooo!!!’, but it wasn’t it a big deal lol. Instead he actually made a special vege sandwich for me and it was quite fancy– roasted bell peppers, quinoa spread, cucumbers, etc. It was good! And he felt so bad about the portobello situation that the vege sandwich was on the house. So nice! Anyway– I saved the tri tip sandwich for later in the evening during my class and it was damn good. Good cut of meat, great fresh ingredients. Love it. I’ll definitely become a weekly regular here. Great place!

This sandwich shop is not the most convenient to visit. It sits between Clairemont Drive to the west and Genesee to east smack dab in a residential neighborhood. Through slow feeder streets at a listed 25 mph, you’ll get there eventually. Within a strip-​mall with little curb appeal and an awkward parking lot it sits. If: you’ve got time/​a long lunch, want to get away from the main drag, want a craft beer (from KnB) paired with your meal and especially crave a tasty sandwich and a cookie this place gets a thumbs up.

What is and isn’t sweet and savory about Sweet and Savory.
Sweet: You get a free and fresh AND NUT FREE chocolate chip cookie with every order. YAY… I got to live to write about this place!
Not Sweet: It’s only open from 12 to 4 Monday through Friday.
Savory: Turkey Brie Sandwich. I don’t know if crack was actually one of the ingredients… but I do now live in a crack den and go by the alias «Bottom Boy» after eating this sandwich today. What does that mean? I don’t know. I’m high on turkey brie crack right now… ask me later.
Not Savory: Potato salad was ehhhhhh. The potatoes were kind of hard… and I like my potatoes how I like my 50-​year-​old men… a little soft in the middle.
Sweet: Two semi-​homoerotic references in one Unilocal.
Not Sweet: Location is hard to find (read: far from my crack den). But seriously, if you aren’t from Clairemont/​Bay Park, you’ll never find it. I promise. Don’t even try. OK… OK…Try to find it. I dare you (but you won’t be able to).
Savory: The lady that helped me had really cool eyes… kind of like a White Walker from Game of Thrones:
Not Savory: Clearly more of a catering place… there isn’t much «décor» to speak of… unless you count the empty kegs from the liquor store from next door.
Sweet and Savory: I am DEFINITELY going back… if I can find it again.

you know those hidden spots you keep trying to hit up but theyre never open? THIS is one of those places. and yes, curiosity killed the cat. tucked away in the middle of the mount streets in the most unlikely strip mall of my hood, we had been ever-​so-​curious to try a sandwich. employees at Keg N Bottle next store kept raving about them.
well, with hours listed till 4 pm, a weekday visit wasnt gonna happen. for some reason we thought they were open on saturday at least, and dropped by last weekend. but oops, not open on the weekend at all. the friendly owner happened to be there, but only to load supplies for catering (which we learned is a majority of their business).
SAD FACE.
i must have actually had quite the sad face because he said, ‘ya know what… ill whip you guys up some sandwiches, what would you like?’ wow nice! the pulled pork was the last special of the day on the board (which sounded delicious) but given the kitchen was closed he made a special off the menu cold southwestern sliced pork sandwich on ciabatta. and yes, it was good! gosh im a sucker for ciabatta bread… so delicious, especially when super fresh as this was.
definitely worth supporting small local business like this… and consider for your catering needs! there used to be a sit down location in PB but he shut it to focus on that.

I was told by a friend to check this place out because I had no idea they were here and I’ve stopped in this mall only a handful of times. I was skeptical because of the look and curious 11 review ratio between QMH’s versus photo avatar profiles. The entire strip mall is unassuming and outdated in appearance, but don’t let the exterior storefront fool you
The Club sandwich I just had was great! Thick, hand carved turkey, not deli thin sliced, along with fresh greens, juicy tomatoes, smoky Gouda cheese, and crisp bacon, served on a fresh ciabatta roll spread with their guacamole mayonnaise. No sides needed. This sammy was yummy and very satisfying
They’re only open here M-​F 12pm-​4pm. The storefront is pretty ghetto looking, but they recently added a newer sign for obvious reasons. There’s a small table outside, but just call ahead and take your food to-​go. The guy that made my sandwich was pretty cool and said that they did a lot of the prepwork for their catering business
They don’t carry the full menu from the PB location, just sandwiches
and salads
Rediculously Tasty? Yes, it is and I’ll return again to try something else delicious.
