Upper Crust Deli & Grill

was Upper Crust was too upper crust for the hood?
will reopen as jj fish and chicken.

This deli blows*EVERY*and *ANY* Financial District sandwich shop away — and I seriously mean it! It makes all sandwich shops look pitiful… size, taste, affordability and quality.
Came here for the Sunday Streets SF event yesterday and on a whim decided to try it out. I remember a gal on the 19 Polk going home from work one night was needing a telephone number to order a sandwich from this place and she said it was best sandwich shop you will find here in San Francisco.
I ordered the oven roasted chicken sandwich (I know it sounds plain but a triathlete has to get his carbs you know) and when I sat down to eat it I could not believe the big portion, tastiness and freshness of the sandwich. Prices are on par for about what you would pay for a sandwich in downtown FiDi too.
I will be back, I am sold on this place!

I had the bridge: turkey, ham, and roast beef on a sourdough baguette. It was enormous! The thing is not quite as big as a footlong, but it may as well be. It’s a bit greasy, but definitely tasty. My companion had a plain tuna sandwich on wheat … I don’t think she had any strong opinions on it. It’s a good place for a great big sandwich at a pretty cheap price. $ 13.60 for two sandwiches and a soda. Not bad at all. I’m in no rush to go back, but it was nice to try.

The debate between four and five stars ended in favor of five as soon as I realized my BBQ chicken sandwich on a wheat roll didn’t make it two Muni stops before being devoured. Yes I was hungry. But yes it was that good.
Friendly, reasonably priced, extensive sandwich menu, and plenty of BBQ sauce. I really don’t know how much better it can get.

My favorite corner store sandwich shop in Bayview is now carrying fresh produce. How excellent is that?

I’ve been meaning to review this place for a while.
Upper Crust is a laid-​back, no frills sandwich place where you can pick up a couple hot links and banana pudding quickly. The fries (which I really like. & i’m a crispy fry fan) can only be described as hearty and creamy. Try the 49er burger. you’ll be hooked.
Blunt wraps are at the counter.

So, I was around the way way and I said «me so hungry!»
I wanted a samich and I dragged my GodDaddy up the street to Golden Eagle, and — it was gone.
Apparently, the phoenix has risen, this time in the form of Upper Crust! Since my sammy dreams were still alive, I decided to give it a go.
First — shout out to RAY. I think it was Ray… he was at the counter and seems like a good person deserving of a good Unilocal.
Anyway, the interior is clean and has a classic deli vibe. Drink cases stocked, good chip variety, menu board on the back wall, visually everything was winning.
But taste — the last frontier — the real challenge!
I ordered the Caesar Pastrami. So, the caesar pastrami is basically is like a hot pastrami except it features a garlic spread. Interesting right?
To me, it tasted like the best hot pastrami ever on buttery garrrrrrrrlic bread. The sandwich is a-​a-​awesome! Believe!
The meat was not skimpy, the bread was not stale. The service was good, nobody rolled their eyes at my «can i have», «can you put»…
I’m indecisive and annoying when it comes to making a decision, but after that one sandwich, I know that I can order anything here and it will be worth it.

My BF’s workshop is around here. I know, I know, not the best neighborhood in the world. Prolly wouldn’t want to drive around here in a top down convertible Mercedes SLR, bumpin’ my Paris Hilton Sing-​a-​Long. Which is why I don’t do any of that.
I take the train. The T line is just fine.
This is place is so clean. Sparse almost but since cleanliness is next to godliness, I’m all for really really clean.
We ordered two Philly Cheesesteaks. They turned out to the be the size of my calves and it was so good. Imagine, driving along the California prairie (i.e. on the way to Bakersfield), towing a 2K lb trailer full of moto GP gear head stuff, little pot-​bellied me rubbing the satisfaction in my stomach after downing half of the sandwich.
Those were the days. Now I’m on a stupid diet where I have to say no to anything that tastes too creamy to be true.
What can I say? I’m concerned about my cholesterol.
But I remember the good old days when this place grilled up some lip-​smacking hot sandwiches and fantastic french fries.

So Saturday morning I was on my way to a friends house to walk her dogs while she was out of town. To get to my home girls house I have to cross through the hood; not the rap hood the Hood Hood. Single moms bust they ass to keep food on the table hood, bad ass kids running around causing mayhem hood and dude wearing thier pants around thier knees hood.
But let me tell you about this philly cheese I had at the Upper Crust in the hood. Now I been to Philly and had a real Philly Cheese and think Upper Crust is on point with thier version of the Philly Classic. I almost past on but DJ Khaled little brother recommend the Philly Cheese so I had and I liked it. Ok that not DJ Khaled litte brother but I can’t remember his name.
I’m going to go back and try a few other things on the menu like the Turkey Burger. I also like that I can call my order in pick it up and I think the fries are fresh cut .
I think I might slide a little cheap date threw this spot in the Upper Crust of the hood.

Upper Crust is one of the latest additions to the newly reinvigorating Bayview neighborhood. The Gheith family runs it, and they are friendly and accommodating. The food is decent – plenty of sandwich selections, including vegetarian options. And they serve up generous portions of French fries, both steak and curly varieties. The prices are very reasonable too.
The décor isn’t the greatest — fluorescent lighting and basic cafeteria furniture — but hopefully that will improve as the store gets more established.

Feels like a relic of like 30 years ago. They made a solid pair of sandwiches, but it felt like they were really struggling for business, and therefore were out of a lot of ingredients, couldn’t make some things. Staff was friendly but a bit odd — one guy at the register, one in the kitchen. They also felt $ 1 – 3 more than expensive than they should be, although still totally affordable.
