High Street Deli

Great sandwiches, lived up to the hype. We ordered ahead online. Something about the flavors just tasted so good. Everyone in my group was thoroughly impressed, and we're not huge sandwich people!

High Street Deli – Los Osos Review After starting the day with a refreshing hike at Montana de Oro and soaking in the stunning coastal views, we decided to grab lunch at High Street Deli in Los Osos, just a quick 12-minute drive from the park. I’ve been to the original High Street Deli in San Luis Obispo before and had a great experience, so I was curious to see how the Los Osos location stacked up – and it did not disappoint. When we arrived, about 30 minutes after opening, there was already a line, which was a good sign that we were in for something special. One cool thing we discovered was that this location has exclusive menu items you won’t find at the SLO spot. Naturally, we had to give them a try. Here’s what we ordered: Big Parm (Los Osos Exclusive) Spring Cutlet (Los Osos exclusive) Deli Burger (Los Osos exclusive) Italian Sub Because it was busy, we had to wait a bit, so if you're in a rush, I’d recommend ordering ahead to skip the line. Once we got our food, though, it was absolutely worth the wait. If you don’t mind waiting be ready to wait up to 2hr plus. The Spring Cutlet was incredible – crispy, perfectly cooked chicken that left me wanting to come back just to explore more of the cutlet sandwich options. My cousin ordered the Deli Burger, another Los Osos-only item, and raved about how juicy and flavorful it was. We also did a little sandwich swap, and I got to try the Big Parm – another winner, packed with flavor and everything you’d want from a hearty, satisfying sando. By the end of the meal, we were all happy, full, and already talking about what we’ll try next time. If you’re ever in Los Osos or heading back from a day at Montana de Oro, I highly recommend making a stop at High Street Deli. Just be prepared for a bit of a wait – and trust me, it’s worth it!

This deserved my review about ten sandwiches ago but here goes! Both locations are great because the staff rock. You can order ahead online most times to beat the line on weekends (just so you know). I tried the Big Parm today, life changing!

Cal Poly alum here who always took advantage of the 420 deal 😂 After 4:20 pm, the sandwiches are discounted. The chipotle beef on Dutch crunch is my absolute go-to. I order it every time I’m in town. If you haven’t tried it, get it. The line moves fast.

Always always great! This is a staple of the community. Fantastic sandos, friendly service & loads of fun. Their happy hour is $8.50 sandos & half price beer. Mondays, 30% off all wine & its just 50 feet from the entrance to the Monday farmers market. Families enjoy this spot as there's a play space while adults enjoy beverages. Great Spot!

I'm hesitant to write a review because I love this place so much that I want to keep it quiet and sacred. They never fail with their food and customer service. Even my kids ask to come here, literally for the next meal, after we've just had a meal here. Try "Stoney Style" for an extra kick of rad deliciousness! Grandma Norma is a great sandwich to try for first-timers... but really, you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

I recently discovered a hidden gem that I can't recommend enough! This deli offers a peaceful atmosphere, complete with outdoor seating that’s perfect for soaking up some fresh air while enjoying your meal. The highlight for me was their "Bayweird Burger"—a masterpiece of flavors that truly lives up to its name. Juicy, perfectly cooked, and topped with creative ingredients that set it apart from any other burger I've had. Every bite was delicious and memorable. If you're looking for a tranquil spot to unwind with great food and a laid-back vibe, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Looking for a lunch spot after a walk in the Elfin Forest. Baywood is a little off the beaten path, but once you are here, you can quickly see the High Street deli is the place to be. Lunchtime on the weekend was busy, but we found a table. The menu had a lot of sandwich options or you can build your own. I ordered a turkey and avocado from the menu along with a large fries. The sandwich was huge so it is a good thing we ordered to share. The atmosphere was fun. The patio has a lot of fun signs and an old beetle van on the wall. Although they said 25-minute wait, it wasn't nearly that long. The fries were hand cut and very crispy. They also have a lot of beers on tap and a hefty wine selection.

Completely lived up to the hype. I've been to Los Osos many times but never managed to make it to High Street. Made it a point to go there this time. Arrived a little after 12:30 on a Saturday and the patio was buzzing and there was a line to order. Order was taken quickly and food came out without much of a wait. One reason I've been wanting to come here is because the patio looked so inviting. It truly was! Plenty of seating, little area for kids to play, lovely weather. There is also seating inside. I found a spot at the counter/bar type seating facing the street and it was so nice to people watch and see the bay. Food was brought to me and was seriously beyond my expectations. I ordered the Trees Baywood beef dip. It was a great ratio of bread to meat to toppings. Loved the grilled papers and onions, and even enjoyed the pickles when typically I don't! Got chips on the side but the sandwich was so filling I saved them for later. One staff member in particular was amazing. Wish I would have got her name but she greeted customers as she was running food out, offered help to anyone ordering and then came around to each table asking if they needed anything. She offered to refill my drink and since I was by myself I accepted so I didn't have to leave my food. When she returned I said thank you and she replied with 'thanks for letting me.' Superb customer service, I can't wait to go back and try other sandwiches!

We ordered the Dutch Punch, Turkey Pesto, and Mother Nature Veg. All three of us say ours was the best sandwich we've ever had. And the staff is super nice! Great gift shop to peruse while you wait for your sando! This'll be a stop every time I'm in town.

When in Los Osos or SLO, this is THE spot for sandwiches. The service is exceptional for a place like this. The staff is so friendly and will go out of their way to make you feel like you're in their own home. There's ample outdoor seating. If it's full, it won't be long before someone finishes and makes their table available. It's very dog and family friendly. They have a small shop inside with gift items and logo wearables. They also have a tiny wine shop with great curated local (& not) selections. The pricing is extremely reasonable. You can buy a bottle and enjoy it on the patio with your food or by itself. Don't miss this jewel!

First time trying the new location in Baywood Park. For starters there is a lot more seating and a completely different vibe at this location. There is more room both inside and outside with more of a deli feel with other items for purchase. Menu was different as well with more bbq/burger options. The fries were killer. Definitely recommend this location if in town. Wait isn't as bad which is a huge selling point!

This I tried the limited daily Saturday special, a chicken cutlet sandwich called the phony abalone. The chicken cutlet was marinated in clam juice, which I thought would give it a fishy odor, but the chicken was actually very moist and delicious. The onion rings or "Funyun" rings were also some of the best I've had, with a crunchy seasoned breading and sweet onion inside. The place gets quite busy on weekends, but the cashier also warned us that our sandwiches would take around an hour. While you wait, there is a cute gift shop with local goods and their own merch. The ordering style is very efficient, where you fill out a paper with your sandwich order and can even build your own.

I've been a fan of High Street Deli since I toured Cal Poly back in 2011. When my husband, daughter and I were camping in Los Osos a couple weeks ago, we were so surprised to see that they had expanded and opened one right in Baywood Park, so much closer to us at the time. We went on a Monday close to opening (11 a.m.) and ordered our favorite, two Dutch Punches and always stoney. We waited about 10 - 15 minutes for our sandwiches and then we were off to eat them by Morro Bay. The sandwiches held up so nicely and our daughter loved picking the sandwich fixings out of our sandwiches to eat. You can never go wrong with High Street Deli sandwiches! Go try them today!

This place never disappoints! It's always packed, so I recommend ordering ahead via their new app called "High St." Either way, this is my all time favorite sandwich place. I always order the Dutch Punch and add pepperoncini, but all of their sandwiches are amazing. The Los Osos location has an adorable little store that even stocks some amazing wines. The daily soup is always awesome. Don't visit the central coast without trying High Street Deli!

Came in really hungry after a 4.5 hour drive from up north. The staff took care of us immediately! We actually caught the last 15 minutes of Happy Hour.

This location is perfect for the beach crowd, right across from the water in the small downtown. The outdoor patios are filled with many tables, including in the front, side, and maybe back. It's got a large gift shop, including wine and branded paraphernalia. Good thing, because the wait is incredibly long to get your food. There's an artisan gift shop next door, that I recommend you visit while you are waiting for your food. I wish the wait time wasn't so consistently long. They turned off their order ahead online feature, because they are too busy, barely getting the in person orders out from a half hour to hour wait :( Is the food worth it? Absolutely delicious. It's no wonder we keep coming back for more. Our favorite is the Monday special Keep Tahoe Blue sando with turkey, blueberry spread and the works, and also the Funion (Onion Rings)

My husband and I stop by for lunch everytime we are in the area. Great food. Great customer service. Always clean.

High Street Deli - a true Central Coast staple! I absolutely love High Street Deli, their sandwiches are fresh, loaded, and delicious. I get the Dutch Punch but all their sandwiches are amazing. Pair it with one of the locally made beverage options (Shindig makes an amazing dry cider!). This location is honestly better than the one in SLO. It's less busy, the outdoor seating area is super cute, and has views of the water! Inside is a little gift shop selling cute locally made goods and lots of local wine. Staff here are super friendly!

The most life changing sandwich I've eaten. I love this location and that they offer more options compared to the SLO location. Definitely order a side of fries/onion rings and finish off with soft serve. The workers are extremely friendly and go above and beyond. There's a little bit of indoor seating and more outdoor seating in the front. The place is super cute and a great place for families with kids. They have great deals, as a Cal Poly/Cuesta student you can get any sandwich for $8.50 and after 4:20pm all sandwiches are $8.50! ig: @cravingswithcat

Food was amazing and the people are friendly! The shop was small but nice had that surf shop feel

This place is always caked. Real sandwiches with all the toppings and they don't skimp, a sandwich from times past not the current bread sandwiches served at most places. Reasonably priced, beer and wine available, close to a farmer's market on Mondays. If you want a real sandwich , this is the place. You may never be able to eat another sandwich anywhere else.

The Best Sandwiches with a Smile! We spent four days in Baywood-Los Osos. During that time we had sandwiches from High Street Deli three times. The staff is amazing! So friendly and available to answer any question, and get you anything you might need to make your experience even better. The sandwiches are made fresh and Well Worth any wait. The atmosphere is very relaxed coastal. Areas to entertain the children (an outdoor kitchen and an actual VW van to sit in) in the outdoor seating area that greets you apon arrival. Dogs are welcome and have their own menu item. Coastal breezes can really pick up, but, never fear, they have heaters waiting. HSD is Always an excellent idea!

I love Hi St but today I was a little disappointed. Customer service excellent as usual but the quantity of meat was lacking. Seems like portions are getting smaller. First time for disappoint. I'll try them again.

Never disappoints, always a super friendly staff, the sandwiches are the best on the central coast, the burgers are my kids absolute favourite

The best sandwiches in the county. Amazing staff, amazing location, great merch, good wine. Back in the day, they were a pricey sandwich, but you got what you paid for. And since then, they've kept their prices the same- and now they're one of the most affordable! Big props. Will be coming back again and again. Now stock some grab and go sandwiches like the SLO location, ha! Keep up the good work guys. For everyone reading this, if you haven't gone yet, this is your sign. Hop in the car- GO!

What a great place to bring friends when they visit Los Osos/Baywood Park. Especially those with kids. It's a veritable playground for them. Sometimes the line to order sandos looks rather long and daunting. But don't be put off. It moves quickly. My favorite is Doobie's Rueben (he created his own bun for this sandwich that doesn't break down under all that goodness!)

This place is great! The sandwiches are so good. The line gets really long but it is definitely worth the wait.

If it's 4:19, take a minute.....and then head over to High Street! New favorite sando spot acquired: - nice location - outdoor seating - killer friggen merch - beer - wine And the best sandwich I've had down here in SLO county. Also service is awesome, nice and outgoing.

Great service. Outside seating. Food is good besides it sometimes being a little too rich or overdone. They have a cool marijuana themed inside. They also have weird toys in the store. To clarify the inside is not cool because because of the marijuana, it's just cool.

How can you go wrong with a High St sammie? Answer: you can't! This place always hits the spot, and has a great play area for the kids. Sit by the fire pit, sip on a refreshing beer, snag a giant pickle, and score some goodies from the merch shop next door. Expect a little wait on the weekends, but the team moves fast and the food is always worth the wait. Cheers!

One of the best sandwich shops I've been to! I placed my order on a piece of paper and handed it to the cashier which made it go by faster. It was busy so it came out like 15 minutes later. This is one of the BEST sandwiches I've ever had. I had the special and it was a crispy chicken sandwich with veggies on it. The type of bread was something different than I ever had and I loved it. The owner or manager of the restaurant went up to our party twice asking how everything was going. Would so go back but unfortunately I live in Wisconsin.

The employees are always so nice and they're so accommodating for gluten free wraps! I almost always order the turkey wrap with their gluten free tortilla

I loved that there was so much more seating here than the SLO location. Everyone in town shows up for the 4:20 happy hour which lasts for one hour. The service was very good. They also have a bigger menu at this location which includes hamburgers, fries, and onion rings. They also have discounts on wine and beer. They have epoch wine on tap which I saw for the first time here. Epoch wine by the bottle is pretty expensive and the price per glass here is very reasonable.

If in doubt get a made in house Chicken Cutlet Sandwich! As a local talking to the locals here, it was a great friendly experience. The recommendations for the meal plus a local Pinot wine selection was spot on. The Monday 30% off for the wine was a nice bonus, and it happens every Monday during the Farmers Market next door. As opposed to the touristy/ Cal-Poly "Invested" other OG location, this is far better, and is open air to the nearby ocean. I had several chats with staff over future selections, plus future wine choices...which is great for a soon to be repeat loyal loco local. Now to the Sando. The Cutlet Norma Sando was sort of a fusion Brooklyn Italian Deli style meal. It had lots of complexity, was very savory, but it did not go overboard. I was skeptical, but I did love it. Since I prefer in house made food, and almost agnostic when it comes to generic Boarshead cold cuts, I was tempted to try their fresh made Roast Beef. Maybe the next time. I will also think about a DIY combo of cutlet plus beef on a Dutch Crunch....Why not, I say? Some of the musts that one must do here, is of course first go to the next door Farmers Market on Monday, get a drink of wine/beer or a 30% of local wine bottle, and then consider eating it across the way on the Baywood Pier if it is a nice day. Of course, sitting inside or outside on their patio is also quite pleasant. Their combo wine store and gift shop is really nice. Really nice in our wine region is really saying alot. The prices, especially with the 30% off, for our many local wines is really hard to beat. Some are really hard to find and do not have tasting rooms in use most of the year. Since these are locals, they do know the wines that they sell...this is not BevMo for sure. The service was absolutely fantastic and was the value. It is really impossible to find such a tasteful & tasty fine sandwich for such a good price in our area elsewhere. I actually live a few blocks away from a good Sandwich Deli in Shell Beach and this High Street place easily beats them out. The freshly made and hot cutlet is hard to beat... it was juicy, lean, not fatty nor oily, and went well with Prosciutto, Cheese, and the rest of the fixings. You really cannot go wrong here! Thanks High Street!

Man, i don't even know where to start. This place is the spot if you love sandwiches! Everything on the menu looks so amazing and if I could eat every single menu item, I would. The minute you walk in, you feel immediately welcomed by amazing staff. I've visited this spot twice during my visit. They have a small little gift shop with some cool trinkets and merch. They have a special if you buy a tee ($25+) you get your sandwich for $5 and if you go in at 4:20 you get half off on your sandwiches. What a deal! You can eat either inside or outside. The place is clean which is great. I would definitely recommend this place to visitors and I would 10/10 come back.

Waited over an hour for our food. Albeit we were told the wait would be that long. However several groups of people came in to the deli and ordered to go then ate at the tables. It's a bad policy that needs addressed and prolongs the wait for supposed (dine in) customers.

Superior sandos. The Dutch Punch is my all time fave. I love this location in particular bc they have ample of seating with the front patio and more parking. Also they have a shop. The best Dutch crunch bread! The sandos are filling and evenly proportioned. It's a hefty one so either share or keep the other half for later. Love the Stoney version bc they mix it up. They have set sandwiches or you can byo. Don't forget the chips ! Get a sando then head to the beach for a good day !

Best sandwiches I've had in a long time. So good I had to go back a week later. The Dutch Punch is amazing, and the Ruben was fantastic. The service is fun and helpful. Perfect spot for a beach day visit in Los Osos. Don't pass this up, but get there early it's popular!

Sandwiches are great. A solid assortment of vegan and vegetarian options with large sandwiches. The Los Osos location has an awesome play area for kids and super relaxed atmosphere, with a little shop inside that has cool toys and great wine. The manager is extremely attentive and friendly. Definitely a must try when in Baywood

High St. Deli has it all- Great customer service, menu galore and a brand new location that offers ample seating for friends with dogs! 4:20 pm the entire menu ( including suds) is 1/2 off! A++ Bring your friends and family out to High St. Deli and bring and empty stomach, get there early because it gets crowded.

A must visit if you are in Los Osos or San Luis Obispo. We arrived around happy hour which was a lovely surprise. Food was amazing and we really loved both sandwiches. The fries were awesome--seed oil free, as they are fried in animal fat. Staff was incredibly friendly and patient. The most of the seating is outside and is kid and dog friendly. Will definitely be back the next time we are in town!

love this place SO much--and it's dog friendly!! Even if they hated dogs (what kind of monsters...), they make what is probably the best sandwich I've ever had. Get the Dutch crunch bread, regardless of the sando. I hadn't realized onion rings were an option until I took my pups on the patio... I can't speak to the taste bc I haven't ordered them yet, but dang it if they don't look incredible! Great staff. Room for kids to play. Safe. Love it.

amazing sandwiches (I had the Dutch Punch), quick service, wonderful setting. Great place for lunch.

Food is good and this location is better than the SLO one. The lines are long and the sandwiches are messy. Highly recommend to order online 30+ mins prior to pickup. But overall the food is good and great atmosphere!

I came in on a weekday. Place was only about half full and there was no line to order. After ordering, I was told the kitchen was running 30 minutes behind. No mention of this before I ordered. When my food finally did come, the server ended up spilling half of it on the floor. I asked for a replacement and was told no problem. Another 15 minutes later, I went back up a second time to question where my replacement order was. They had no idea what I was talking about. Service here is really poor.

High Street Deli in Los Osos has the best sandwiches I've ever had and not just in SLO county. The prices are fair for the quality, flavors, freshness, and portions. I don't know one person that has eaten there and didn't rave about the place. They also have the most amazing onion rings. The vibe is wonderful and the location is beautiful and charming. I love their seating, especially outside. The staff is always happy, friendly, helpful, and attentive. This place is a gem and a special treat every time. Thank you for kicking a** HSD!

Excellent italian sub! I'll visit again. Also nice outdoor space and clean bathroom.

This is an amazing sandwich. Wish it was a main menu item currently it's just a Monday special. Great location to eat outside

Love that they opened this location and expanded the menu. High St Deli is a Cal Poly (and SLO) favorite, and it was great to re-discover this location coming back to SLO. Ordered the Grandma Norma (chicken cutlet sando, only available at this location) and was happy with it. Like all High St sandos, it lasted two meals for me. Next to try is the soft serve, El Jefe (their version of a Cuban), burger and fries (they also do onion rings special). Wish list: chocolate shell dip and cake cones for soft serve. Order ahead, always expect a wait, definitely go.

The Strauss soft serve ice cream is why I came here!! So good! The best burgers we have ever had too!

This place was GREAT! SO much to choose from. Went there with a friend on a Monday just before noon. Our timing was just right, as the place started to fill up not long after we got there. We both got sweet potato soup, the special of the day and one build your own & one Dutch Punch (pictured). We both had plenty to take home for later. YumYum!! I also got a potato salad to try. It was good, but I wasn't crazy about it. The portions are very generous. It was a fun place to check out with a crazy selection of wine to choose from. My plan is to go back many times & try all the different sandos until I settle on my FAV. Oh, friendly & helpful staff too! We sat outside in a little patch of sun, as it was a windy day. Cool looking succulents were nearby.

Today I was so excited to get your Daily Special... it was The Honey Bun. I got it to go so I didn't look at it until I got home. It had everything on it but the Roast Turkey :( kinda bummed since that's the main ingredient. Still giving 5 stars because it's one of my favorite places to go.

Normally a 5 star visit. This however was less than pleasant. A to go order placed online, they called me to inform me the substitute requested was $.50, but it was fine, and continued to lecture me on the charge and "now you know for next time". When I went to pick up my order, I gladly handed the over-friendly gentleman that helped me .75 cents to cover the sprouts. Got home to enjoy my sandwich, and the sliced pickles still had the stems.... not one but 2 full stems.

The best burger I've ever had. Build your own with Japanese milk bun, jalapeño havarti, chipotle mayo, dijon and shrettute, tomato, red onion. Outstanding!!

I am going to make a bold statement here; I think that the Baywood Park location of High Street exceeds the OG location. I said what I said! Everyone in SLO County knows that High Street is a superior sando spot. That is why no matter the time of day, you will find a significant wait time. Baywood Park took all the amazing aspects of the SLO location and multiplied them. Firstly, the location is amazing with ample street parking and a small parking lot. They have plenty of picnic tables outside and even a small children's area. The view from the outside lot is not terrible either with the bay on your left. Then they have the High Street promo store inside! They have so many adorable items in the store to explore while you wait for your order. The high street shirts are always adorably designed, but the specific Baywood ones are even better than the original. I have been eyeing the pink one with the bear eating a sando since they opened (if anyone needs a Christmas present for me ;)). The sandwiches are just as good as the original location. I am a huge fan of the dutch punch with jalapeños and chilies added. The only difference between this High Street and the other is less wait time, more seating, a promo store, and more parking. I try to go to this location as much as I can! 10/10 would recommend.

Baywood is a sleepy bayside town with one attraction, the High Street Deli. Perhaps the best thing about this High Street Deli location are the many great places you can take your sandwiches for a picnic that are close by. Baywood pier and Montana de Oro just to name a few. Of course you can always eat on their patio. Overall, while the Cafe on Bridge Street still has the best sandwiches on the central coast, the High Street Deli is giving them a run for their money. They have a wide variety of options and I've never been disappointed in what I've chosen. TIP - If you're on a strict time schedule it's better to order at the Deli than on their online app. Their app at both locations really spaces out the ordering times into the future. Staggering online orders doesn't kill their kitchen, but if you're grabbing something for a picnic the walk-up ordering wait time isn't too bad even during the lunch rush.
