Just moved to the area so scouting out the local eats and was not disappointed with this one. Got the Michelangelo and the Mechanic and both were delicious!!! There was a bit of a crowd (Saturday around 1pm) but overall was not a long wait in line or for the food. Lots of drink and chip options and a really cozy little restaurant. Will definitely be coming back.

Sundays can be the saddest day of the week simply because a craving for a well crafted sandwich can hit you followed by the realization that this place is closed lol. My absolute favorite sandwich to get from Bara's is their Italian combo - pepperoni, dry salami and mortadella with your choice of cheese (I liked a smoked gouda) and other toppings on a Dutch crunch roll; however, Bara's recommends their soft sweet roll with provolone or mozzarella cheese... to each their own. While the amount of meat packed into this sandwich has varied each time I've ordered it, I've definitely never been hungry afterward. Some other favorites include the Bay Area Special - golden roasted turkey, black forest ham and roast beef with your choice of bread and toppings - and also the Bam Bam - roast beef, pastrami and corned beef with smoked gouda cheese and your choice of bread. The wait time on a sandwich is never too long except for certain sunny Saturdays in the spring/summer when everyone seems to want to grab one before going off to the park.

Sandwiches were huge and tasted amazing! I absolutely love the bread and would come back just for that. The sandwiches are incredibly filling and was able to feed 2 people on just 1 sandwich. Service and atmosphere was amazing! Would definitely recommend trying this place out!

I was hungry after walking at Marina Park and checked my bookmarks for a new spot to check out. Bara's came up and I immediately scanned the menu. It always feels nice to support a local small business too. Eats: Caprese Panini + Grilled Chicken Garlic Beef Panini Cali Club x2 Small Caprese Salad Small Pesto Pasta Salad w/ Artichoke I also grabbed family size bags of Ruffles Cheddar & Sour Cream + Original Sun Chips. I dived into the cheesy Caprese panini first, couldn't wait so I ate in the car. Absolutely loved the melted cheese but the bread was soggy and wet from the tomato and pesto. Not sure if it's because the sandwich was prepared by someone being trained? Garlic beef was tasty. Cali club was loaded with ingredients: turkey, cheese, bacon and avocado. Would've liked the bread to be toasted. I wonder if I can request that next time. Toasted bread just elevates a sandwich to a whole new level. I appreciate how they packed the deli salad containers pretty full and took the time to make it look presentable as well. The mini mozzarella balls were layered nicely with fresh basil and plump grape tomatoes. Pesto pasta salad was simple but a great side to the cheesy paninis. I might add some chili flakes next time. I'll have to try the Michaelangelo sandwich which has salami and prosciutto. Check out their impressive back wall of various beverages! Cookies, brownies, and ice cream pints available for sweet tooths.

This is a classic deli. Well stocked with sodas and chips to choose from. Clean and neat and that long counter that reminds me of so many deli counters I have seen. Ordering was easy. So many choices. Nice in this modern age you can order online and pick it up or phone in option as well. Generous sandwiches and plenty of sides too. Now, my issues were two. One I ordered a sandwich on sliced sourdough as I hate French rolls. And when I got home, it was on a damn French roll and I had to remake the sandwich here on sliced sourdough. Second, my wife wanted a cheese sandwich. Put some cheese on a French roll,add condiments and done. But he said all he had was a grilled cheese sandwich. And it was too much cheese and half got thrown away. So unhappy here. But a nice place overall, saw the Fire Dept come get food to go, it was busy and maybe we just were not clear when we ordered. We will see if we ever go back.

Found this place as I was in the area for an appointment and checked them on Yelp to see they had great star rating but mixed reviews. Didn't know what to expect upon walking in but my service was nothing to complain about. Food did come out fairly quick and that was nice considering it was a lunch rush when I came in. What I ordered- The godfather- based on the description, it reminded me of an Italian sandwich. Thought it was perfect for hubby as this is typically his go to at other sandwich spots and he is a meat eater. We thought the sandwich was okay, actually too much meat IMO maybe needed other fresh ingredients to cut the meaty taste. It was also very huge, not easy to fully bite into. It was also a bit dry maybe more aiolo would have helped. The mechanic- this one was the better of the two. The hot link and pepperoni combo was great. Would love to come back and try a turkey sandwich or other options next time. They do have a great beverage selection as well, bunch of stuff I have never seen.

Definitely a hidden East Bay gem!! I finally got a chance to try out these sandwiches. There's plenty of parking, the restaurant was tidy and comfy. Although there was one order in front of us, we waited about 5 minutes to place our order at 3:39pm on a Tuesday afternoon. There was a line quickly forming after us. I will definitely place a mobile order next time. Our sandwiches were great. Solid 6" sandwich. Very fresh bread and Boars Head meats. Forgot to add Aioli on my Gobbler sandwich, so they gave me some on the side-although.... No jalapeño spread here. I found some hidden goodies such as giant deli pickles, piroshki's and carrot cake. Yum! The only we didn't get was Warm and Fuzzy's from their team. I guess there's no friendly way of hollering "NEXT!"

I met up with a good friend of mine for lunch and decided to get sandwiches. It was our first time at Bara's and they did not disappoint! We met up on a Thursday around noon and it was busy! We were able to snag a table and also got our sandwiches within 5 minutes of ordering! Service here is pretty quick which made the lunch rush unnoticeable. I ordered the Bay Area Special with pepper jack cheese on dutch crunch bread. They are very generous with their meat portions and all the other fixings which I loved. I love sandwiches and this sandwich definitely hit the spot. The sandwich came out to be about $13.75 but their portions are huge! I was only able to eat half the sandwich and had leftovers for later :) I will definitely be back to try their other sandwiches if I am in the area!
