Great sandwich place on Taraval! I love turkey sandwiches so I always get the Juicin' on Dutch crunch, it has turkey, bacon and avocado. It's delicious, pretty affordable and decently sized! I love all the fixings they have for their sandwiches, they don't skip and goes so perfectly with the sandwich. They also have tater tots that are nice and crisp. Great side that I haven't seen at other sandwich spots. The place itself is a bit small, they have some table and counter seating but it's very limited.

Grubbin' was a fortuitous Yelp find for me, and it has become my absolute favorite sandwich in the world. I always get the same thing: a Grubbin' on Dutch Crunch. I have no idea what kind of magic they are putting on their sandwich, but I swear, it is magical. Every bite is more delicious than I remember. Even when I am sitting there eating the sandwich, each time I take a bite I feel like I'm experiencing the taste for the first time. I've never experienced anything like it. The taste is so good that I can't hang onto it. It slips away even as I eat it. I don't live in the City any more, but when I come back to my City by the Bay I will be eating at Grubbin'. You can bet on that.

This is one of our go-to sandwich spots. Really good sweet roll. The guy at the register (I think the owner) is super nice!

Tasty delectable toasted sandwiches made fresh to order at this great little sandwich shop. Friendly, enthusiastic service from the folks here every time! Located on Taraval Street in the Outer Sunset, one will find not just one, not two, but three different sandwich shops within a few blocks of each other. All are good and great at their own specialties, but I find myself returning to Grubbin' over and over again. Order by just calling them up on the phone, and walk or drive or catch the L-Taraval train/bus that stops right across the street from their front door. Skip those delivery apps that rip off small businesses like these.. I come here for my favorite sandwich that I save for special occasions - no, not for big events like birthdays or big anniversaries, but for those days when you either want to celebrate a bit or need a special treat after a long week.. Typical sandwich shop storefront vibe, with a couple of casual sit down tables and chairs inside, but most folks grab 'n go, as you would expect. My favorite here is the "Sweet Mouth Waterin'" Sandwich. Served on a crunchy yet soft on the inside Dutch Crunch Roll, the SMW is Grubbin's rendition of a non-spicy fried chicken sandwich with thick chunks of chicken breast meat dipped in batter and deep fried, accompanied with honey mustard and the standard sides (that come with all of their sandwiches of lettuce, tomato, onions, and their trademark "grub sauce" which I think is a little like "Thousand Island Dressing" perhaps.. put that all together and you've got a filling meal even before you get to your potato chips. Of course there are plenty of other meaty sandwich choices and all-veggie ones if that is more your speed. Tater tots too!! Also, the usual selection of Frito Lays chips are here, but their best chips are the Tim's Cascade Chips from the PNW.. Tim's Honey BBQ is awesome! Pro Tip: If you decide to become a regular here like me, be sure to get a rewards card that gets stamped for every sandwich you order from here. Once you have ten stamps, you get a sandwich of your choice totally for free - and gladly too!! A nice perk, and super when you are the one who orders up food for your friends/coworkers.. You'll get that free sandwich in no time! Proud to be a regular here! =). They still don't know me, but they are happy to fill my orders!

My first time here. Very convenient to our house. We preordered and the 6 of us sat in their restaurant after Picking up. Ordered a hot pastrami with everything on it. It had a little Spice. Great sandwich to share on Dutch crunch. Sandwich was comparable to Freddie's sandwich in north beach but smaller than Little Luca's. Make sure you Check in on Yelp For free small bag of chips!

High 3 low 4. Guys were chill so overall a 4. I came on a weekday right when they opened Ordered the grubbin on Dutch but they ran out of bacon. MINUS 1 here. How can you not have bacon one of the more important ingredients in a sandwich? Taste - good, the aioli sauce makes the sandwich good or elsethe meats are a bit dry and no bacon (SMH)!! The Dutch sandwich has a slight hint of sweetness which was fine. Good price point for a filling sandwich

Hands down my favorite sandwich joint. Give me that Grubbin it sandwich any day of the year! The Dutch crunch is my choice of bread as it just enhance the texture profile of the sauce and deli meats to a whole new level.

Solid sandwich spot. Lots of metered parking. Inside, small spot without a lot of appeal. The service was fine. However, the real star here is the sandwich. Fresh bread, toppings of choice, and their special sauce. I had the Sweet Mouth Waterin Sandwich- which was amazing! Big juicy chicken tender surrounded by veggies, sauce, and French bread. We got our sandwiches and walked directly across the street to the park. Look forward to going back and trying more next time!
