      I passed through SLO last week and needed a quick spot to grab a bite with friends. Thankfully one of the people I was with recommended Lincoln Market and Deli.

      Upon arriving we ordered our sandwiches at the door with the hostess. I was thrilled to see there were salad options as well as gluten free bread for sandwiches. Menus were clearly labeled with vegan and vegetarian items as well.

      While we waited for our food we wandered around the indoor store, which is absolutely adorable. The store features local hand crafted goods with everything from coffee, to jewelery), as well as grab and go items ranging from chips to soaps. I could spend an hour just looking around at all the store had to offer, but our food was ready quickly so I only had a few minutes to check everything out.

      My sandwich was incredible. Truly one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The Community Garden sandwich that I enjoyed is vegan, and can easily be made on gluten free bread. The ingredients were incredibly fresh and it was stuffed full of veggies.

      I want to go back to SLO next time i'm in the area just so I can go to Lincoln Market & Deli!

      Hot take is Lincoln deli is better than high street lol

      Located right next to the freeway entrance/exit lincoln deli is both a mini mart and a sandwich place. With a huge customizable menu.

      It is more organized where a attendant will take ur order outside before letting u in, and then you can browse the mini mart as they make your order (15-20min) depending on how busy it is.

      Once your order is ready you can go and pay alongside what you see from the mini mart

      Overall one of the many great sandwich places in SLO

      Parking might be hard but nothing wrong with walking a few blocks

      So disappointing. I drove from Pismo specifically to eat here. Ordered tuna on sour dough with lettuce tomato avo cucumber and sprouts. The tuna maker blew it. It was just a wet mushy mess that soaked through the bread. The mayo was super sweet and tasted like Miracle Whip which I hate. The add ons seemed to be mixed in instead of laid on. I didn't want to deal with complaining so I threw it all away and left. Bummer.

      Never had a bad meal here. Great menu, short wait time between 11:30 & 1:00. One of my favorite lunch spots. Parking can be a bitch at times.

      The most fire breakfast burrito I never knew I needed. It was crips, well-textured, and actually easy to eat because it was panini pressed flat. Compliments to the sauce as well. The ordering system was a little strange and unclear, but despite the many people here the service was relatively fast and there was seating for all. Would love to come back and try some of their other sandwiches if I'm back in SLO

      We stopped by for bfast as we have a daughter that attends CPSLO. No shortage of Mustangs and their parents fo sho!, patronizing the place! Bfast sammiches are amazing! There was also a coffee pop-up operating out of a VW Vanagon! Coffee was amazing! All the popular options he offered! Outdoor seating aplenty, but depending on crowd size, may have to wait for spots to open up. I will now let my pix do the talking. Definitely highly recommend this establishment.

      Some may poo-poo the prices, but in my opinion, you get your money's worth. This establishment offers something for every interest and appetite. The menu is extensive and full of options for carnivores and vegetarians. The cooler is stocked with varieties of every type of beverage, alcoholic or non-alcoholic. The pinball games are a fun option, and there is plenty of seating, inside or outside. I would encourage anyone who appreciates a good sandwich to swing by and try their wares. Oh, I almost forgot. Tots...delicious,delicious Tots.
