Sandwich Spot · SoMa · 270 tips and reviews
Ray Lin: The Mezman is the perfect sandwich. It has everything I would want on a sandwich: pastrami, deviled egg salad, muenster, jalepenos, pickles and board sauce on hot-toasted garlic dutch crunch (!)
Brian Wrightson: The Mezman (romanian pastrami, deviled egg salad, muenster cheese, garlic dutch crunch, etc.) is maybe the best pastrami sandwich I've ever had. Also, you read that right: pastrami and egg salad.
Andrew Choi: The Mezman sandwich was pretty damn good (pastrami, deviled egg salad, muenster, cherry peppers, pickles, Board sauce, and on that amazing garlic dutch crunch bread), but sammies are hella expensive.

Burger Joint · SoMa · 144 tips and reviews
Joe Landren: Very good garlic fries.
Rosa Ayala: This place has great service. With yummy bread and a garlic butter spread, you can't go wrong. I love getting their salmon of the day, with a creamy caper sauce. Brunch is just as delicious!
Shirley Hornstein: The corner table in the middle of the stairs is the best if you're alone - windows for people watching, cozy chair to get work done (and right by the wifi router!)

Moroccan Restaurant · SoMa · 84 tips and reviews
JK: Try Lamb tartare with roasted garlic tahini and crispy lentils, Half chicken with marash, preserved lemon, couscous and gaeta olive & Yogurt and rosewater mousse with pistachio pain de genes
herm pugay: A new upscale Moroccan restaurant similar to Aziza. Try the duck liver with pistachio, cocoa, turnip and satsuma or the basteeya with duck, almond and golden raisin. $$$$
Henna Abbas Merchant: The tasting menu was amazing. If you're in the mood for something a little lighter I recommend the cod. Loved the drink menu and wine selection!

Ellen McGrody: I think Nick's makes a better sourdough pizza, but I understand the hype. That roasted garlic tho.
Romina Varriale: Closest you would get to NY pizza. So good!
Ricky A: A little hole in the wall place with good prices. Got the Mediterranean pizza and it was delicious. Don't let the location creep you out at night, plenty of lights under the free way and roads.

Jessica Force: The owner is too sweet. Amazing salads. Try the kale + quinoa, feta, olives, roasted garlic dressing salad! Big enough for two meals or to share.
Kate R: Great selection of sandwiches and salads. Line moves pretty fast too.
Chad Scott: The food is good but the service is painfully slow.
Sabrina: The salad bar was great so many fresh veggies and different types of salads and fruits. I can’t vouch for all the meat but my husband said everything was great especially the rib eye an garlic steak.
Letícia Sá: That's the place where diets come to die... But it's SO WORTH IT! I loved every minute of it, between the amazing food and the exquisite service is difficult to find a flaw (it is expensive though)!
Eric Lugo: Food coma all day.
