First ever at this establishment. I ordered a whole turkey sandwich to go.
The sandwich was very well made and fresh!
Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’ll definitely be back to order and enjoy their food!

The people that work here are amazing.
Even when they’re super busy, they take the time to chat, even the guys in the back that make the sandwiches say, “hello”
The Godfather is hands-down the best sandwich. I order it every time.
Two bottles of craft soda and a Godfather that is the ticket to a happy lunch.
I do have one problem, but it’s not with them. It’s with me remembering that they’re closed on Mondays.
Heck, they’re even making homemade brownies now.

This is definitely a gem! Super cute little place with a ton of different soda varieties. Absolutely loved the old Knick knacks and deco. The portion sizes are huge! If you order a full sandwich be prepared to save some or share with a friend. Ingredients were fresh and bread was perfectly soft. The Mac salad had all the right ingredients but was missing some flavor. I added a little salt and pepper and it was good to go! I love this place and will definitely be back

As someone who enjoys a good sandwich, I was excited to visit the Grove Grinder Sandwich Shop in Lemon Grove, California.
From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by the friendly staff.
One of the things that stood out to me was the generous portions. The whole sandwiches were large enough to share with someone else, which made it a great spot for lunch with a friend.
The turkey bacon avocado sandwich was definitely delicious, and I highly recommend it to anyone who visits.
And for a soda lover like myself, the extensive collection of sodas was a real treat. I had fun trying out different flavors, including some old classics that I hadn’t seen in a while. With over 75 different root beers to choose from, it was exciting to grab a few and compare the different tastes.
Overall, I would recommend the Grove Grinder Sandwich Shop to anyone in the Lemon Grove area. The friendly staff, large portions, quality ingredients, and unique soda selection make for a perfect lunch.

Place is way overrated based on quality and reviews. The whole sandwiches are big but it doesn’t make them better, nothing special. The Granny lady (hope she’s not the owner) was really rude but the other employees were nice. Not a traditional Italian deli like you’d expect. NO RESTROOMS, which should be standard in 2026. Trust me food is mediocre and the location and parking are awful. Not coming back!

This place is aaaaaaaamazing!!! Really fast and friendly service, the sanwhiches are stacked up and full of meat! The drink options are amazing as well, they have all kinds of root beer and other sodas to choose from as well as a great chip selection. I will be making this a weekly thing .

WOW! I’ve always passed by this spot and wondered if it’s good and sheesh it is GREAT. Lemon Groves best sandwich spot hands down!! I got the Cheese Steak, Pulled Pork, and their award winning chili and all 3 did not disappoint. The cheese steak was very filling and the steak was incredibly tender I couldn’t believe it. The Pulled Pork was absolutely delicious and once you add the bbq sauce which is nice and tangy it elevates the pork even more. The chili was by far my favorite, it had a nice spicy kick to it and each spoonful had me going in for more. There’s not much else I can say, if you’re in the area this is a MUST GO TO spot you will but be let down. I’ll be sure to come back for more!

Quaint little sammich shop in lemon Grove. The godfather is my go-to. Half is a good-sized grinder. Go full if you have been in the desert for 40 days. They have a large assortment of root beers that my son loves.

They knocked out a party tray for 50 people in less than an hour when my scheduled vendor canceled on me. The feedback from the staff was that Grove Grinder sandwiches are better, and why don’t we order from them from now on!!! Great service and delicious sandwiches that are huge in size.
