Head to South Coast Deli when you're in the mood for a big, delicious sandwich or fresh, filling salad. With four very busy locations in the Santa Barbara area, South Coast Deli is a local lunch spot, perfect for grabbing a bite with a friend or picking something up on your way to work. Cold "sammies" (their word for sandwiches), hot sammies and paninis cover all the carb-lover's desires while huge tossed salads cater to the more calorie-conscious. Scrumptious and affordable breakfast options - including egg sammies and toasty bagels - are also served Monday through Friday until 10:30 a.m.

EXPERT TIPS BY: Geneva Ives
Santa Barbara Local Expert

Best Value: "Try their Eggplant Sammie. The eggplant is pounded thin, breaded, fried and topped with melted provolone. It frequently sells out, so get there early or call ahead."

Recommended as Best Value Because: Giant sandwiches and salads with heaps of fresh ingredients make this deli a lunchtime go-to.
