The McBoodery

Tasty deli spot with great local flavor. The croissant club was excellent—flaky, fresh, and packed with flavor. My wife and daughter raved about the brownie. I didn’t get to try the zombies, but they’re clearly a local favorite and sold out fast. Heads-up: there’s no seating at the deli itself, but the staff suggested a couple nearby spots and even a great bar down the way where you can enjoy your food with a drink. Solid service, good food, and a nice community vibe. The building itself is very cool too.

Incredible little deli we stopped at on our way to Sacramento. Everything we got here was delicious — we got a turkey blt and a variation on an Italian sub on a sourdough roll. Everything tasted fresh and the service was impeccable. We felt welcomed incthe quaint and well appointed shop and will definitely be back when we’re in the area.

Wow! This sandwich spot is so good that once, we had at least 8 people at our house, and we decided to go to the Mcboodery. We all went to this place and ordered our food. I got the pepperoni pizza zombie and the fruity pebbles rice crispy treat. It was very good and I will always go here when I feel like it. 10/10 Hope you stay in business!

We found this place while traveling. We were wanting a deli sandwich and this came up in the general area. Wow! What a cool find! The sandwiches were fresh and made to order. The staff were friendly and helpful. They don’t have space for dine-in but there was a darling little park a block away. We took our sandwiches and enjoyed them at the park. We even talked about how much we loved this place a few days later. We will definitely go there again when traveling in the area.

Listen, please go in an order. The faces are warm and friendly when you walk in and there is so much to order! I have the bbq chicken zombie and I’m so upset I didn’t get two! Oh and the banana pudding almost made me think I was in NC again! Run to this place don’t walk!!

The sandwiches are delicious, as well as the ice cream and zombies. The brownie was absolute perfection! We had the beef Jerky and although the flavor was good, it was so dry and tuff, hard to eat.

Dropped in for some home made desserts but it appears that their sandwiches are very popular with their patrons. There was a constant line of people coming in for them. I’ll have to come back again to try them.

My husband and I came here for sandwiches and snacks last week. The sandwiches are so delicious and totally customizable. The shop is very cute and the owners are friendly. They have really cool snacks like Vegan tomato jerky, omg this stuff is next level good. The apple cobbler was great also. Also got a cool tie dye shirt. We will definitely go back next time we are in Isleton.

100/10 service, sandwich, and vibes. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend making the stop

We went down to isleton because of this spot, saw it was on a top 100 list for Yelp and had to see what the hype was all about. I can say, the hype is real and it's actually worth driving an hour for the sandwiches and zombies! A really cute shop and they have other stuff like cookies, deli sides, merch. The Bobby: A Loved the mortadella and pastrami. They pile the meat on! The mayonnaise and vinegar complement these meats well and the sourdough roll has a nice soft texture, very easy to bite into. Prosciutto and brie Zombie: A+ This is a must try. It's a brioche bun stuff with various filling options. The brie and prosciutto one was amazing and it's richness was well balanced out with sweet slices of pear inside.

You're already ahead of the game when you make your own bread. I'd show up just did that. Their chip selection was what to expect from a deli so they will for sure have what you like, drinks are about the same. The service was perfect. From the order to the built sandwich was 5 stars. Quaint little shop in a small town so it definitely felt as such. I also had their home made beef jerky and it's a go back for on the mango habanero. Sandwich's looked so big I didn't try any of their deserts but I'll be back to try it all.

They have the best food at this deli. There potatoe salad is so yummy!! Drop by their deli buy some sandwiches and salad. Sodas, chips then take a cruise along the Delta and find a nice place to stop and grub down!! The service is impeccable, the store front is so cute! I recommend this deli to anyone and everyone! Enjoy!

Everything homemade, fresh to order & EXCELLENT! The staff was kind, perfect for a day-date or family picnic! It's worth the drive or try, if you're in the neighborhood!

The reason I travel to isleton to fish. I rarely catch anything but I know I can get an amazing sandwich. The Sarah is in my top 3 favorite sandwiches and I've had a lot of sandwiches

This is one of those places I don't want to rave about so that I never risk them running out of my favorite zombies! I love this place and it's a must stop whenever I am in the area and have yet to have a bad thing. The sandwiches are to die for and as a Bay Area kid the zombies are always so so good.

Stopped to grab a sando while in the area! What a hidden gem. The Muffeletta-ish sando was amazing. Fresh brioche bun packed and loaded with tasty ingredients. The pesto pasta salad was super tasty too! I want to try all the sandos on the menu but I'm only 1 person LOL! When in Isleton make a stop here.

It's very seldom that I crave for hot sandwiches but when I do- let's just say that I am super blessed to live in the same city as The McBoodery! We have our favorites on rotation: Sarah's Pastrami, The Lyle, The Lavonna to name a few. Daily Specials are usually posted on IG, keep a look out for soups or desserts! The owners are chill- they also make homemade jerkys that my husband makes sure to grab for me every now and then.

Ever promised yourself you'd only eat half but end up devouring it? That's exactly what happened to the 3 cheese and jalapeño zombie. Will definitely be trying out other zombies that they have. Don't miss out on Sarah's Hot Pastrami (hands down best pastrami sandwich) my go to EVERY time, never a miss, always a hit.

Great Zombies!! Many varieties!! Cute little shop, grab a sandwich or treat to take away and enjoy!!

Perfect Size Sandwich! I ordered ahead right when they opened at 10 am. The employees were extremely friendly and kind.

The McBoodery offers delicious, fresh (made daily) food using local ingredients. The owners put love and dedication into everything they prepare. Not only do they make staples like standard sandwich options and salads, but they also experiment and change things up frequently. The Zombies (fresh brioche that is baked with cheeses, veggies, meats and sauces inside) are always amazing. They have both meat and vegetarian options. They offer gluten free bread for sandwiches. They also always have homemade potato and pasta salads and fresh desserts that utilize in season, local fruit. Of course their brownies are delish, especially topped with Gunther's ice cream! There is a lot more I could list, but I'll just end by saying you cannot go wrong eating at The McBoodery!!

Family that runs this place is super nice Always get good sandwiches here and the special menu has some good hits. Affordable too + we always try to buy some sandwiches for the work crew We're moving but will go out of our way to support this place

This is a cute place off hwy 12! Ordered a sandwich and it was delicious, fresh, and plentiful! I will definitely go there again on my travels that pass by Isleton Ca! Staff is very welcoming, personable, and helpful! I can't wait to explore the menu!!

Congenial service good coleslaw and great potato salad. Clean and fresh food is important with a sensitive stomach so i go back many times because it is clean and tasty and fair prices.

This delightful family owned business is absolutely awesome. Mom and pop owned business are the best ever. It was a treat to find this treasure in this historic fascinating town of Isleton . ( which by the way is where Pat Morita the sensi star of karate kid was born June 28 1932 My daughter and I rolled in after reading their five star reviews and were not disappointed. She had a veggie sandwich on a fresh sourdough roll which she raved about. I had a turkey sandwich on soft fresh whole wheat bread and made fast work of it. The one small container of delicious potatoes salad disappeared quickly . It was that good! The lure of the unique zombies lured us in. For take home for later. My son law will have the pleasure of the zombie when he gets off work. Give this place a try you will be glad you did! Bon appétit .

Tried this place after being recommended by a local, and it did NOT disappoint!! Such a cute vibe inside, great and helpful staff, our food was McDREAMY! Bread is delicious, super fresh ingredients! Can't wait to stop by again next time we're in town! Thanks for your service!

I want to try everything !! First visit!! Nice job. Great sandwiches for a hot summer day..

Headed to Isleton to try out Mei Wah Beer Room and decided to grab lunch at The McBoodery. What a great find. The staff was super helpful and patient. The shop is very cute and unique inside. We got our sandwiches and 2 zombies to try. If you have never had a zombie, you must go and try them! It's like a calzone, but with sandwich type ingredients. The Taco zombie had taco meat and cheese inside and was SO delicious. We also tried the Ham and Cheese Zombie. Again, amazing! It was so tasty and different from your normal lunch. We ate our food at Mei Wah but walked back for desserts. We got the brownie, the cookie, and the strawberry short cake. They were all excellent, but the strawberry shortcake was off the charts. We also tried the Gluten Free Brownie, which was also a hit! They have plenty of street parking and are super easy to find. We will definitely be back, likely often!

Such good country atmosphere and people are laughing and talking and just having a great time eating delicious food!!!!!

Oh my gosh! What a find. The Zombies are the best. Handmade bread and the choices yum! The ice cream is also homemade and wonderful Give it a try when on the Delta folks you won't be disappointed See you soon

Food was amazing! And the service was great!! We ordered sandwiches and they were delicious!

I discovered this gem while looking for a fun spot to grab sandwiches and picnic items on our way to Bogle Winery. What a find! The food is all homemade and absolutely incredible. We tried the pastrami sandwich, the eight-cheese jalapeño zombie, the mufalatish, some amazing ranch pasta, and a pumpkin dessert that was to die for! And the prices--unbelievable! It felt like stepping back 20 years. The service was fantastic too; they set us up perfectly for our picnic. I can't recommend this place enough. It's well worth a little drive for such a unique, delicious experience!

Love this quaint little spot in the beautiful river delta town of Isleton. You want to eat here every day if you can because the menu changes every day! Fresh baked bread. Zombies are delicious! They sell their own homemade beef jerky that is a must buy!!!

The best hot pastrami I've ever had! Husband said his mortadella & Swiss was awesome. We both loved the house-made pasta, and I can't wait to try the house-made jerky we bought. Super-friendly folks there. We'll definitely be back!

This place is a little gem!! We recently took the scenic route from the east bay to el grove and were so happy we stopped in to grab some lunch!! It was our first time in Isleton and we just fell in love with it! Our sandwiches were absolutely delicious and the staff were super friendly, helpful and quick! They have such a cute decor. We couldn't leave without purchasing some of their amazing beef jerky and when we left, we quickly finished the pineapple jalapeño one - YUM!! If we lived closer we would come here on a weekly basis! Highly recommend!!

I finally had a chance to drive up to Isleton to try a sandwich at McBoodery. I asked about the source for cold cuts and found out they don't use Boars Head. Yay!!! My first sammie was the toasted croissant ham/turkey with avocado/bacon. I went a bit crazy as it was my first time and picked up the bread pudding, the chocolate pudding?, the banana pudding, potato salad, and chocolate chip cookie. All of the food did not disappoint. I have since been back twice. Both times for the roast beef sammie. I am tempted to try a zombie but just not sure I would enjoy it. It's a bit out of my way as we are 25 miles from the location but maybe a trip once a week will be a good thing!

This is the best sandwich you will have in the delta. Always fresh, always delicious, always the best service. Super creative and delicious daily sandwich specials (with equally creative amazing names.) Love all of the side dishes. Never had a bad meal here. Make sure you stop by on your way through Isleton!!

This is definitely a top-five hole in the wall place for me! Driving from Elk Grove to Antioch and saw passes by the town of Isleton. Drove down Main Street and saw this cool looking deli. Didn't even check Yelp for the review. Walked in and was greeted with a smile. The young man at the counter helped me with my order. I got the croissant club and a zombie 8. Both were excellent! If there was a place to eat out front would have been good. Also got a pack of their mango habanero jerky. Yummy with a bite. I'll have to stop back by next time I'm in the area.

Always the best sandwiches and sides!!!! Great service, wonderful people Daily Sandwich

Our go to it deli near Rio Vista! Gluten free bread and desserts for my hubby. Friendly, small business that we love to support. Sandwiches and potato salad our fav.

This place was amazing. Was passing though town and wanted to grab a bite to eat, was not disappointed. My sandwich was delicious. Very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be back for sure.

The food is always on point. The service is top notch, always there happy & ready to serve. The atmosphere is wonderful. I not only drive out from Sacramento to go & get a sammich, but I bring the homies with me too. This place is amazing. Make sure to get there early because sometimes they sell out!

Superb spot for ice cream and desserts! We made an unplanned stop at Isleton since the road to Suinsun City was jammed, and found our way walking by McBroodery. They serve some amazing icecream, super affordable, lovely flavors (Cherry!) and a wide assortment of home made desserts and sandwiches. We tried the ice cream, brownies and the cheesecake ... and everyone was super happy Definitely coming back for more treats!

Good, fresh and delicious small shop. We had the pepperoni and philly zombies. Really good and fresh. We had it to go with a brownie and Apple crisp. We also had a banana pie thing. Very nice service, convenient little shop and good food overall.

Sarah, one of the owners, reached out after reading my previous review and offered replacement. Although Isleton isn't exactly close, I still decided to make a drive out and give them another try! We tried their sweet and savory zombies. While I initially came for their sweet ones, the savory's are what stole the show ... so fresh and so filling!! My favorite was the Thanksgiving zombie - sliced turkey with stuffing, cranberry and gravy. GoodNess ... it was really, really good!! Hubby's favorite was the Philly Cheese and you can't go wrong with the Chicken Pot Pie one either. PS ... They post their daily specials on their website. The will make any of their sandwiches as salads. They have GF and Keto breads, and also offer GF brownies. I look forward to stopping by again and trying more of their goodies!

We Traveled here just to try the food. Cute Small little town with lots of potential..the highlight of the food was for sure the Potato salad will definitely come back for more!

Ended up in the Delta on a random Sunday while doing a drive cycle for my car and remembered wanting to try this place since my husband and I love sandwiches. My husband got the muffaletta-ish sandwich since who knows when we'll make it out to New Orleans! And I got the zombie with some potato salad. One of the best potato salads I've ever had! Didn't get any desserts but the brownies looked amazing! Will definitely come back to try more sandwiches, zombies, and their pasta salad. Definitely a sandwich shop worth multiple visits!

My friend and I were exploring in the Delta and came upon this place. As soon as we entered and saw what they offered, I knew it had to be the best food in town. We were initially put off by the fact that there was no table service, but we were assured we could sit down to eat our food at the beer hall a few doors down. We ordered two sandwiches, a portion of homemade corn chowder, and some ice cream (Gunther's, a Sacramento brand). Everything was delicious. The person at the counter was friendly and helpful. I brought home some house-made beef jerky to my husband, who pronounced it delicious. This place is terrific and should not be missed if you're in the area.

So great! I got a gluten free turkey sandwich and added avocados. Everything tasted so fresh and the gluten free bread was so much better than the grocery store stuff. They also had a bunch of jams & soaps & other fun stuff so I had to get the pepper jam. Will definitely be back!!

Husband brought a croissant club home for me but I'd already eaten. Stuck it in the fridge and had it the next day. Still delicious!!

I've watched business after business settle in this location and then close down. Really hope they're here to stay. Almost everything I've had here has been super delicious! Not a fan of a couple experimental things that were on the menu a while back, but they've disappeared so no point even listing them. Love, love, LOVE their delicious potato salad. Brownies are superb. I haven't quite settled on a favorite sandwich yet. But I'm in no rush. I'll try everything on that menu before making a final decision.

The wife and I ordered take out from The McBoodery twice over Labor Day weekend during their opening weekend ! Both times it was amazing! My wife had the daily special roast beef and I had a custom turkey ! Everything was fresh and made to order, and of course I was happy to hear they had bacon to add to my sandwich. I had a potato's salad side while the wife had pesto pasta salad, both were also fresh and tasted amazing ! When we came back the second time we got our hands on some of their BEEF Jerky! They were previously sold out because it's THAT good. More potato and pasta sides and we were happy campers ! The shop was VERY clean and had safety precautions in place for social distancing. We will definitely be regulars ! We wish you great success !

If you are high asf come here bomb ass sandwiches and cookies. Honestly y'all my say I'm but Naaa try it and thank me later .

ecided to go for a drive along the river to get the pup and boyfriend out of the house and saw this place. Staff was super friendly, store front was pretty busy (usually a good sign). The person at the counter steered us in the direction of the ZOMBIES! Super filling and tasty. We got the chicken teriyaki (saucy and heathy amount of chicken and slaw), Thanksgiving (literally thanksgiving in a tasty roll complete with the cranberry sauce), and my favorite was the 8 cheese and jalapeño. Melted ooey gooey deliciousness. Also tried the bread pudding and it got the stamp approval from the picky partner who is a self proclaimed bread pudding connoisseur. We will certainly be back!

Another 5 star review for the McBoodery! We got 3 zombies, two desserts, and some beef jerky. Fast service, really nice staff. Will definitely be back.

I ended up in Isleton since it was the nearest post office with open appointments to get my passport. I stopped in this sandwich shop and was amazed by how good it is. The shop itself is quaint and only has a bench to sit on while you wait, but the food is incredible! I had a chicken, bacon, ranch zombie and it was perfection. The brioche roll was so soft and it was incredibly flavorful. The pastries looked delicious, so I purchased a brownie and it did not disappoint. It was moist with the perfect amount of sweetness. I wish I lived closer, but I'll definitely be back. The staff was friendly and the service was relatively quick even though they were busy.
