High Street Deli

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!

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 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!

This sandwich shop is nothing short of amazing. The food is spectacular, the beverages, adult and kid friendly, are also superb! The service is excellent and the people are friendly too. The views are stunning and just an extra dose of beauty to make this event your next stop. This secluded area, just south of Morro Bay (10-15 mins) is located close to Los Osos CA. Try the Dutch Punch sandwich, you will not be disappointed. Ingredients are super fresh and the bread is to die for. Make this your next stop when you are on the Central coast of CA. Pro Tip: arrive after 4:20 and all sandwiches are 30% off, drinks are 50% starting at 4PM. Get in line as it will get longer as you hit close to 4:20. Shop closes at 5:30.

A must stop when traveling the 101! We travel often from Southern California to Northern California and always stop here for lunch in between. A great variety of sandwiches, fresh ingredients, friendly staff and awesome vibe. Always worth the wait, and you can walk around and enjoy the views of the water in-between. Sandwiches are also surprisingly good as leftovers for those who like to eat half there and save half for later.

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.

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.

Without a doubt, the best sandwich I’ve ever had. The bread, the meat, the veggies—everything! The line can be a bit long, but it’s absolutely worth the wait. If you can, definitely order ahead to skip the wait!

Ever have a sandwich so good it makes you look up home prices in the area? That's how good this place is.

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!

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

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

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)

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.

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!

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

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.

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!

This place is cute quaint and the food is amazing. Great selection of adult beverages. Date time or family time friendly. Enjoy a healthy lunch and you won't need dinner. Enjoy! 5 plus stars

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!!

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.

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!

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!

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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 !

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have been a fan of High Street Deli sine I went to college at Cal Poly, years ago. I got my husband hooked too.... Despite how expensive it has gotten. But today was it for me. We ordered 2 sandwiches a soup and fries. We got the special of the day, and a cutlet sandwich. We were told it would be 15-20 minutes, a normal wait for there. The fried chicken sandwich came out first at the 20 minute mark. I told my husband to eat so it didn't get cold. When he finished the first half of the sandwich I went in to see where the rest of the order was, an employee went and looked and said they were making it then. I go back to our table and wait. In the mean time 3 , yes I started watching and counting, tables got their entire order. My husband finished his sandwich, I wanted to cancel the rest of the order , but my husband went in to find out about it, he had them pack it to go. I've never been disappointed enough to write a review. You have lost a customer.

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.

Food is always good. Price isn't great but it's fair. Seating is sometimes limited. Service is nice but it's kinda slow.

I like their cold sandwiches, but their service is definitely lacking. I call to place a to go order and they said they don't take orders over the phone. I asked them their wait time for sandwiches, they said 25 minutes. I went in for my order and while waiting someone called in an order and they took it and there was no 25' wait, it was so slow you could actually find parking. I told them I was upset with that they didn't follow their policies of no phone orders and got a snarky response back. I drove out of my way to this location but next time I'll stick to the SLO location.

a really cute place, great food and service. my one complaint is the way they deliver the food. there's no good reason to have to listen for your name, if they're going to bring food to the tables they should give out numbers

This location has a great outdoor area for big families and furry friends. Friendly staff and delicious sandwiches!! We did a build your own Turkey with veggies that was phenomenal, and the Italian sub which was delicious as well! The DutchCrunch bread is a must! Excited to try the onion rings and burgers next time, they looked very fresh and tasty. All in all, a must visit.

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.

No pics cuz gobbled everything down to quickly x First off was greeted at the counter by the friendly staff - ordered the Dutch Punch sans bacon I know kinda sacrilege and although it was phenomenal as we got it I'm sure the bacon would have thrown it into my top sandwich category - we also shared the Cali Chopped salad which was plentiful and yum As we were eating outside the manager came by each table to check in with everyone and offer to bring anything else the table needed - I mean c'mon a sandwich shop with this level of service - definitely will be back next time we are in Los Osos x

Excellent sandwiches, brought our family and friends from out of town. Tasty flavor-Full get it a Stoney style is a great option. So many options and flavors to make it your own creation

First time here we ordered a West Coast Hoag but with smoked Gouda since I don't like Provolone and El Jefe Cuban. One is a warm panini French baguette while the other on a sesame seed roll and warmish. Both sandwiches were delicious and hefty in size. I also ordered a swirl soft serve but there's no photo evidence of my devouring it. Service at the counter was good but sandwiches took a while to get out and only after we inquired about them. Ambiance of the place reminded me of a surfer hanging spot for retired surfers turned potheads. Plenty of seating inside and out but I wished they had more outside heaters. Overall I recommend this joint and have plans to try more sandwiches.

Had to be the best sandwich I have ever had. Had the Dutch Punch. It was a long wait but it was worth it. Very friendly service good attitudes straight forward letting people know how long it would take to get your food. Could use another bathroom for the traffic it gets.

The service and food options are excellent here. Love the ice cream and fries in addition to daily dandos and burgers. Dutch punch bread is always solid. Lot of fun activities and play things for kids, plenty of seating, and a great gift shop
