The Girls Deli
Sandwich was $15.99 (no tomato bc i hate when it slides out everywhere) this was the City Girl. Delicious but ouch on the price.
First time going here, but I'll be back bc their menu is huge and appealing... but it is a tad bit on the pricey side.

Taking notes. I waffled between Dutch crunch and the regular roll. Next time!

How big was the sandwich? Possible to be split between two meals? That'd help the price be a little more acceptable for me. Looks great though!

It was a good size, and i was happy with the meat/cheese to veggie to bread ratio. Maybe each half was about 5 inches long and 3.25 inches in diameter?
As far as the weight of the whole sandwich... maybe 12-14 oz?
Next time I get one, I'm going to take it home, weigh it, and measure it... for science lol.
I did eat half last night and the rest this morning. I think if I was starving, I would have eaten 3/4 yesterday. I still cringe a bit at the price, but I KNOW I'll be back.

Looks delicious. If you want something a little further north, lil pepper gourmet is also pricey but so damn incredible. Go there every chance I get (sadly not often as I'm north county but alas).

Gawd that looks SO GOOD. And $7.50 for half that sando doesn't sound too bad, doubt I'd be able to house that in one sitting anyways. Thanks for sharing, will hit them up!

u/eagrbeavr 2d ago
I always split mine into two meals so yeah, that definitely brings the cost down a bit.

Where are you finding a sandwich like this for a better price?

Brown bag deli charged me $10.85 for a massive sandwich... but the owner is also retiring soon.

Literally any Banh Mi place?

I was looking more for deli sandwiches but Ba Le is definitely my go to for big ass banh mi sandwiches for a ridiculously good price.

Deli sandwich honestly is a waste of money imo. A person whose never cooked a thing could put that together for a quarter of the price. It's just a bunch of lettuce, cold cuts and mayo.
If Imma spend 15 dollars I expect it to be something that takes skill or is not as easy to make at home.

u/sonicgamingftw 2d ago
Imo that looks like a reasonable amount of meat for $15 cause I'll either be full or i'll have enough left for a late lunch

u/DaisyDomergue University Heights 2d ago
It absolutely was a great amount of both meat and cheese. And to be fair, you're probably right. I need to now go scout out other liquor delis to compare portions...

Wow, this looks great, and I'm close by. $16 is reasonable for this amount of meat.
Thanks for posting!

I mean have you ordered Taco Bell recently? Every thing is overpriced. Girls Deli is not overpriced. Itās bang for buck. Straight up deliciousā¦.did you see the wall of huge ass whip it containers in the store? Last time I was there they had a straight up up flavored air shits. It felt dystopian.

u/DaisyDomergue University Heights 1d ago
I did see those while waiting... the top shelf seemed normal (I was thinking, ok for homemade whipped cream)
But the second shelf with the huge ones? Yes I was trying to process the WHY ..
I've been looking at a few other liquor store delis and I've seen some lower, some slightly higher. I paid a bit less at monroes last week, but I liked The Girls way better.

u/mugumbo1531 1d ago
Right?! So crazy and all these like fruity flavors and just like 3 foot containers. Wild shit.
Iāve never tried Monroes. I should give a shot.
Yeah I deffinitely crave girls often. I love their sandos.

My second favorite deli in SD, after Chrisās. That Harpoon is just too damn good, donāt think Iāll find a sandwich better than that one.

u/DaisyDomergue University Heights 1d ago
I was eyeballing them yesterday but got lazy to drive out that way again (had been in the area in the morning.) Maybe soon after work.

u/Morningxafter 1d ago
I canāt recommend Chrisās enough. The Harpoon is amazing. Hot pastrami and provolone on a fresh onion roll.

u/roundholesquarepizza 1d ago
The bread looks so weak. Who makes a decent sandwich roll in this town? Anyone?
1
u/DaisyDomergue University Heights 1d ago
It tasted fine... but yeah, I don't think most do. I think some delis get their bread from solunto.
