On my way out of city and kids wanted some sandwiches. Stopped by on a holiday. Parking in front on street. Super clean inside. Sandwich maker was nice, efficient, attentive. Good selection of drinks and snacks. Cashier very nice. Good menu including breakfast and daily specials.

I never have high expectations for a deli to have good vegan sammies but holy hell! Best vegan sub I’ve ever even dreamt of.

Classic deli with quality ingredients and lots of options. They roast their own turkey, and probably do a bunch of other stuff to raise the bar. This is a great spot for lunch or breakfast. Ladies behind the counter are all top notch.

One of the best sandwich spots in the city, they open as early as 7am and their sandwiches never MISS! Service is great the ladies behind the counter always have a smile and have great attitudes when you order your sandwich. I always get the Italian combo or the pastrami sandwich and it’s always bomb. Pro tip: ask to get your sandwich toasted!

When you enter this place, it seems like a usual liquor/gas station store. But don’t get me wrong, the sandwiches are great! I had Pastrami which was great. To be fair, Katz in Mew York was much better, but more expensive and more busy, so mild your expectations. This was a great quality and price for SF. I will update this comment if I ever run into a better one in the west coast. The only thing I wish was better about this place is that I wish there was a table to sit on and eat my delicious sandwich after walking hungry to the spot and waiting for the food. I personally walked for 5 minutes to a nearby bench in 55 S. Van Ness Avenue. You may find a better place on your own.

I love the sandwiches here and a wide variety. The premade sandwiches are a time saver too if you do not want to stand in line or forget to pre-order. The cookies and desserts at the front are good too.

I love getting sandwiches from Ted’s. They have a great variety of options. I often use GrubHub or DoorDash to order pickup from here. My morning go-to is the BLT with egg and cheese, but everything is good.

This is a place I will forever be a returning customer! Teds market has exceptional customer service to all walks of life! Tasha made me the best sandwich! I can be a bit fussy when it comes to my sandwiches but she just rolled with me and did it with a smile! It has a very “cheers” type feel where everyone knows your name and they’re always glad you came! Way to go Teds! I will see you soon! 😍

Absolutely fantastic sandwiches! Huge selection of breads, meats, cheeses etc and they have a vegan salami which is delicious! Plus they offer a vegan mayo for no additional charge. It can be a little overwhelming, just take your time - the board tells you everything. If you go at lunch on a weekday expect a line but the workers are super nice and fast. And of course there's not anywhere to sit inside - this is a deli! Just take your sandwich and be happy Highly recommend if you're in the area.

Was looking for a place to start the day with an Irish Coffee. I can across Ted's. The staff was friendly and after looking at the menu, I couldn't resist to order. I got the spicy omelette and it was amazing. After my Irish coffee I needed some orange juice with my breakfast so I ordered a mimosa followed by some water and a Bloody Mary. The ambience was nice place to go very casual. Prices were fair cost me 100 bucks with a tip and took a sandwich back to the room for my wife. I would definitely check this place out.

For a bodega sandwich, Ted's is killer in a pinch. If you'd have asked me to write a review 5 years ago it would for certainly be 5 stars. The change in ownership has impacted the quality of the food. The chicken tortilla soup and pozole are still divine. The sandwiches however have become mid tier considering the mad house lunch rush line you will wait in. There's not much food options nearby, so you take what you can get.

13.00 for a cold Roast Beef on a roll. They say it's cooked in house but was totally brown in color with no sign of even medium rare (pink) like the shops that are known for roast beef execute. The amount of meat is already weighed and prepackaged and not sliced in front of you. I can't believe people praise this place, they must have never been to NYC, Jersey, or Philly for a real hero. 1 Star Tops

I found my favorite spot for vegan sandwiches! I had the vegan salami on a soft roll. It was perfect! Came back the next day and brought my friend because it was so good, friendly service and chill vibes

You would never expect good sandwiches and service from a deli inside a liquor store but the sandwiches and service is awesome here. I will recommend this place if your short on time and want a great sandwich and a affordable price.

A quiet area of SOMA with some legit sandwiches. I stopped here to pick up a sandwich on my way to the airport. They are GIGANTIC! It really hit the spot for a turkey sandwich with everything on it on a sourdough roll. An added plus is that it's inside a little market with a nice selection of groceries. Like upscale items and brands :)

Ted sandwiches never disappoint! My go to is the Ted club on Dutch bread, they are very generous with the meat and bacon ! The staff is great as well. Try to get there before the lunch rush at 12

Tasha and team make me feel and everyone feel welcomed when they walk through the door. It's definitely not going to be a bad day when I start the morning at Ted's. Their Ted's McMuffin is my fav and their selection of snacks as well as cold to go items always makes the work day bearable. I love to see their interactions with customers because you can tell they truly care about their work. Check them out when you want a good sandwich and friendly conversation.

I have been to this deli twice now. I work down the street from here and can easily walk there which is very convenient.. definitely helps that their sandwiches are delicious!!! They are HUGE and they give you so much meat. So pleased by their services. The guy at the counter taking orders is so nice and pleasant. We did not even speak much but its the little things. I for sure will be coming back here and ordering. I also like the fact that I can order online and go pick it up. I got their roasted pork sandwiches both times I went (its a special sandwich they only have once a week, I believe) SOOOO GOOD!!! They also have pre made sandwiches if you don't want to wait which is nice. It is a convenient store inside so you can get other snacks and drinks. I recommend this place and looking forward to trying more of their menu.

I love everything about Ted's, wow. It has that amazing city vibes at lunch time thing going on. Almost everyone is a regular, the staff keep things moving but will also remember you and talk to you. Also, it's a market so it has tons of other stuff as well. I usually get the egg salad on rye and it's delish.

While working in an new area, I like to ask people I work with where they like to go for lunch. Gives me an idea of what type of food they like and where the best places are. After a overwhelming response of Ted's for Sandwiches, I had to check them out. I love sandwiches, but unsure that would be my first suggestion - so I had to try Ted's. I arrived early to avoid lines, but found a long line wrapping around the back of the store when I arrived. No problem, must be good right? I ordered a roasted turkey sandwich on dutch crunch with everything on it, including jalapenos. The turkey wasn't processed turkey but sliced turkey breast and the bread was soft but also crunchy. This is such my old school favorite and it did not disappoint. The sandwiches are huge, but I had to eat the whole damn thing - because it was so good. So, yeah - my coworkers were right - this place is really good and has much more to offer than sandwiches.

Teds is great. Huge sandwiches that taste fresh! Great staff. It's rare you still get this local feel in a place that is this great. Also the BLT Egg and Cheese is pure gold

I know the place changed ownership. It was a little rocky at the beginning, but the sandwiches are the same. Some complain that the prices aren't the same. Those ppl sound like my 93 year old mom who talks about prices 50 years ago. Yes, prices up a tad but everywhere is the same. If they sold items from prices from 5 years ago, they'd be out of business. Ordered the sandwich, exactly how I requested. And I saw Taco Tuesday, but I'd stick to my taco places, sandwiches would be Ted's.

My husband was on his way down to Ted's but his co-worker said they were closed permanently... So I went through the yelp reviews and came across a review that had been left 13days ago. This guy was complaining about how he was not able to get a sandwich because they had just closed. Anyway, the owner of Ted's replied to the man and said they were closed for a 2 week holiday and that they also Retired!.. so it looks like they are closed for good. I'm so glad I was able to try their delicious sandwiches

Quality sandwiches! Love ordering a grilled rosemary chicken sandwich with no cheese on sliced sourdough with the secret vegan avocado sauce, lettuce, pepperoncinis, pickles mustard and Mayo! Delicious!

Local hotspot for takeout sandwiches - always a line but it moves along. The sandwiches are big and loaded with meat. Bread is fresh, nothing special, but all kinds. I've also had the felafel and dolmas from there and they are decent. Staff is lovely and good humored.

If I was just looking around this neighborhood I would never have imagined stopping in this place for a sammie. Scrolling thru the myriad of options for a sandwich shop today, this place popped up and was in the travel path for the afternoon. Ordered on line and picked up as we were scooting around town. SO GOOD! I was amazed at how fresh everything was. Staff was super friendly and no issues with parking. BONUS! It's a little market to pick up any little items you may need as well. I will order from here again!

Ted's is the best! Best place to get quick and fresh deli SF-style sandwiches - for vegetarian options, I love the Kaiya's Sandwich or vegan salami. They've got tons of different types of hot and cold sandwiches, a huge variety of snacks, sodas and soft drinks, plus assorted groceries, and are really affordable. The sandwich-makers behind the counter are super fast and organized. But what makes me love Ted's the most is the kindness and sense of community around the place. Everyone (especially pre-pandemic, when offices were more open and the lines were really long) goes their for lunch: techies, homeless people, disabled people from the nearby center, workmen, fireman, city employees, you name it. Ted's Deli & Market holds down their corner of SoMa with love and mutual respect to everyone who walks in. In that way, Ted's is more than just a great deli, it's an important place of human interaction and community in the South of Market neighborhood.

Rosemary Garlic Chicken on Dutch Crunch was soooo delicious! Great local spot to grab a solid sandwich. Noticed the store has received an acknowledgment from the SF Mental Health Board for the community building the shops presence brings to the area. Totally makes sense because all of the employees have lovely energy.

The vibes are chill. The staff are very kind. I ordered a pesto chicken panini & it was made on sourdough :/ which apparently is panini though I was expecting a different type of bread. The chicken inside was not super flavorful & bc it was in big chunks was pretty noticeable. There were some really good pockets of cheese & pesto w just the right amount of chicken, but overall it was nothing special. I regret not grabbing a cube of house made carrot cake though because THAT, looked amazing :D

Ted turkey salad was a lot. Now that is what I called a salad wish the was more dressing on the side. but worth the price. Online pick was easy

Doing jury duty so in the area for lunch and also want to get a short walk in to counteract sitting all day. It's a quick 15 minute walk from the courthouse, and I ordered online for pick up. Sandwich was ready to be handed off and I was in and out in under 15 seconds even with the line of folks waiting to order. So I decide to order again from them later in the week. They have a Monday Wednesday Friday special so I thought I'd get that instead of the roast beef- completely forgetting that it's not the correct day of the week. I'm embarrassed as soon as I realize that. But they also realized and gave me a quick call to follow up. Quickly got me sorted with another choice that was on the menu, and the sandwich was ready by the time I walked over despite my mess up. The sandwich looks simple but ever ingredient is fresh and the bread is excellent and proportions are just right to be full but not uncomfortable, big enough to be satisfying to bite into and small enough to not allow you to get some of the goodness in every bite. Between the quality of food, service, speed to get you on your day- I'm gonna be sad when the trial is over and I'm not able to get them for daily lunch.

I absolutely love their sandwiches; everything from the pastrami to the Ted's Club, the Poor Boy, and especially the breakfast sausage and egg sandwiches and the soup. The quality of each ingredient: the bread, meats, produce, etc., are of the highest caliber. Though there is one caveat, in the form of a human male, (who has nothing to do with the food, mind you:) He is ungrateful and rude, and must have taken his customer service classes at K-Mart, because he doesn't have the first clue as to societal niceties nor the warmth of human interactions. At any rate, try all of their food, they do a fabulous job, (even on the premakes), just make sure to avoid the 40-ish cashier with the nearly neck-length hair. He maybe goes by the name of 'Mitch'? Or something that rhymes with it anyway.

There are so many reasons Teds Deli is awesome. First, the small stuff. You will not find a large crowd of people buried in their cell phones and "Tweeting" to the world here ... A+ for that. They do not have one of those ridiculous iPad cash registers that require you to sign with your finger with a prefilled 20% tip either .. A+++ ... Now for the legit reason to hit Teds ... this business is an old school SF establishment that understands the basic value of providing an excellent meal with reasonable prices. I've never had a bad meal at Teds, their sandwiches are amazing ... the attached picture speaks for itself. And they only charge $8.25 unlike most of the new millennial delis in town that charge $18.00 for a sandwich. Icing on the cake, the people that work here are always really nice and friendly. Give them a shot, you will not be disappointed.

To all non-meat eaters the Vegan salami sandwich !! Ever since I stopped eating meat 3 years ago I longed for couple different food items and a good deli sandwich is one of them. Teds to the rescue with their vegan salami sandwich. Layered with vegan salami, tomatoes, avocado, lettuce,red onions, pepperoncini, pesto sauce on an great tasting Dutch crunch roll. Totally satisfied my craving that I had the last 3 years. I had great vegan sandwiches from places like Ike's but I wanted a classic taste and this was it. Tip: order ahead through the line can get long.

Do Not Go to this place anymore. Been going there for more than 20 years. always got a generous turkey sandwich for a reasonable price. Place used to be packed by cops and firemen and other city workers as they made a good sandwich and offered it at a reasonable price. New owner took over recently, now the sandwich has half the turkey it used to have and now costs 13.87 for what what recently was 11 dollars. This is highway robbery and shows the greed of the new owner. A real loss as it was a great tradition in SF, the only upside is that there is no longer a long line as there used to be. Go to Lee's sandwich shop and get a better sandwich for less money.

Turkey/Bacon on Dutch with Siracha Mayo is all you need to know. Probably the top 5 best sandwich joints in San Franpsycho. All their ingredients are fresh and high quality. Lines are much better than before because of Covid. Support your local small business!

A coworker suggested this place. I ordered a pastrami sandwich which I order at other delis and than compare which has the best one. I would rate my sandwich a 8/10. I would suggest ordering ahead to avoid the lunch rush. I look forward to my next lunch here.

Just started a new job in the area. One of the few places with stock and inventory. They are hiring! Today i ordered the pulled pork special. The order was executed quickly but the sandwich was a little messy when i opened the package. Flavor was great and it felt like good food but i must admit i felt burning chest pain momentarily after the meal. May have had to do with last nights midnight snack?

The sandwiches at Ted's are a religious experience. Hands down the best sandwich I have ever had in San Francisco, and I have been here my whole life. Furthermore, everyone and I mean every last employee, is extremely professional has a lovely demeanor, and clearly works their tail off. Mary who works the register in front, could not possibly be more authentic and lovely if she tried. The owner is also extremely down to Earth and welcoming. Thank you to all at Ted's!
