San Francisco Sourdough Eatery

Not surprised this place is closed. If pure going to specialize in sandwiches it may be a good idea to make sure your lunch meat is also the best. Great interior and the bread was good but service and quality was a loser.

Just landed a job next door. Great food, great prices, and great deals. They know how to keep a customer coming back for more. Finally, I can CONVENIENTLY eat [semi] healthy.

The staff and service were nice! I really was excited for clam chowder in a sour dough bowl which brings back memories of cold days in the SF bay! Their menu features an array of soups, salads and sandwiches! I got the turkey and pesto sandwich which was pretty good. The bread had the perfect tangy sour dough crunchiness! The pesto had great flavor with the turkey. I was disappointed with the clam chowder though. The soup was not creamy but more like crafting paste. The clams were chewy and rubbery. And the veggies were not really there. Perhaps the soup was carried over from previous days or maybe wasn’t made fresh? I was expecting a bit more wow factor like San Francisco clam chowder since the restaurant has SF in its name. I may return but probably not for the soup.

I came here for the first time a few weeks ago because the office I work out of is a two minute walk away. The bread is amazing, crispy, and not soggy. The sandwiches could have a little more meat. I forgot the sandwich I ordered, criminal… something, but it had a lot of cheese on it. Felt like it had more cheese than meat, but other than that, everything was great. The staff was polite and friendly.
Grey haired guy, blue eyes, was very attentive and seemed to care.
I will definitely be going back and would recommend this place.

I rarely give one star reviews. But they earned this one. Apparently they did a groupon deal that was not real thought out. Picked one up for two large sandwiches, two sides and two drinks. It magically morphed to regular size sandwich instead of large. Used the groupon today and found their was an up charge for the side salad. (they forgot to mention that on the offer.) Did get the drinks as advertised though.
Fellow at counter was nice enough but said the groupon didn’t explain correctly and he had to charge me extra. They also charge sales tax on full price not groupon price but didn’t feel like arguing the point. Didn’t end up charging me up charge because he didn’t put in my salad. Got that taken care of now there was an upcharge and waited for food. Noticed person making my salad kept looking back at menu board to see what was supposed to go in salad, well he missed a few items. Got distracted and didn’t check salad until we got home, mistake. Missing olives and chokes. Called and they say come back and we will give them to you, no, what are my other options. Was told she would call the owner and call me right back, no call, no surprise.
We were out later and my daughter suggested we go by and pick up. Went by, guy didn’t want to deal with it and called girl from back. I had obviously inconvenienced her (could tell when she made that noise and rolled her eyes, I didn’t say anything.) this is the problem when there is no management on site and the employees don’t give a crap.
The sandwich itself was actually pretty good, little short on meat but the bread was excellent. Also a little smaller than I expected. Not good enough to put up with poor customer service and crappy attitude. Plenty of choices for sandwiches here in Henderson and this will not be one of mine in the future.
Anyone giving this place four or five stars must have really low standards. This was second visit for me, won’t be a third.

Really good sandwiches and the best sourdough bread you can find. Service has been pretty good. Wasn’t overly impressed with the soup, so I usually just get the chip combo. But I definitely enjoy the place and even crave it sometimes so that is a good thing!

Best place by far that hubby and I have had as far as sandwiches go and we’ve tried almost every sandwich place you can name. The bread here is out of this world — oh how do you get such a nice crisp crust with that super soft center?! It’s amazing… I wasn’t expecting much as other sub spots were not too impressive, but I was blown away.
We ordered a clam chowder bread bowl and a large ham & roast beef sandwich. My first bite into the sandwich and I was hooked. Thank you, thank you for coming into my life SFSE! I can’t wait to try their BLT… and best of all, their sourdough doesn’t have that funky lingering smell like eh-​hem that other sub place that get’s all over your clothes when walk into their shop. It’s only been one day and I miss you already sourdough bread at SFSE.
The bread bowl definitely bought back memories of chowing on the SF Piers. only thing that could be improved is to serve the soup HOTTER please and maybe toss in some oyster crackers! We got home and had to microwave the soup a bit to our liking and used some croutons, but other than that phenomenal!
I can’t wait to go back!

A bit pricey and, as noted in other reviews, not exactly overflowing with meat but the bread is very good and the sandwiches are satisfying (if a little overpriced).

We used to come here all the time and the sandwiches were some of the best in the city. Now the sandwiches are made «subway» style with very little thinly sliced cheap meat and still charging the higher price, which used to be worth it! The pictures on their menus and ads are NOT what your sandwich will be like at all (not like it used to be)! Stop supporting this major rip off place!

This is my very first 1 star review. I wish you could award 0. Don’t waste your time or money at this place. The owner should not be working in a customer-​oriented business. Staff is untrained. Clam chowder was runny and tasteless. Never again going back. I so wish we had a Boudin Bakery here!

The 4^th Day of Christmas
Had lunch here today on a whim at the b/f’s suggestion. I love sourdough bread but haven’t had it with a sandwich in… never, really. I’m a fan of sourdough with lots of butter or as a bread bowl with clam chowder, but here you can get your choice of sandwiches with sourdough. I ordered a combo with a bowl of clam chowder and a 7″ roast beef, turkey, and ham sandwich. It was a filling lunch that hit the spot, especially with the day’s colder weather. Service was friendly and fast and this is overall a nice option if you want a change from your standard sandwich shop.

Amazing flavor. The bread is always warm
And delicious. I always get just the plain turkey:)

Something is now SERIOUSLY amiss at SFSE. I was able to stop in on Wednesday, ⁵⁄₂ and the first thing I noticed is the Illy coffee is gone. And I didn’t see the super cool owners I saw last time.
I ordered a Garlic Pesto sandwich and told them I wanted light mayo and mustard. What I got looked like a French’s mustard bottle and a container of Kraft mayo had a love child together and it was not pretty. And it tasted like, well, we won’t push Unilocal’s community standards for writing a review and you can just let your imagination fill in the blank.
After skimming the reviews it appears ownership has changed and the focus may have shifted from quality of product to quantity of cash in the till. Which is a shame as what they had going on here was something pretty special. Now it’s not even worth taking the time to exit I-​215 to drive two blocks South to go to it. Tack on the stupid payment card policy (see my list description), pathetic fountain drinks that make me want to call Coke and complain directly, and a glare when I used the Unilocal check in deal for free chips and a drink and I’m giving 1 star under protest.
EDIT: There’s been some new 5 star reviews posted for SFSE by people with no previous posts. That could be legit, or it could be suspicious. I’m felt it was worth mentioning as this sort of thing can be people trying to counter bad reviews by gaming the system so to speak. Again that may not be happening here but it warrants keeping a close eye on it.

This place is TASTY. Be sure to check it out.
1. Parking — Easy Peasy. Strip mall as normal and easy to get into and out of on the corner of Paseo Verde and St. Rose.
2. Ambiance — Small but long and narrow, there are about tables here that you can eat in. Clean, spartan and minimalist, however, very comfy overall.
3. Selection — Takes a few minutes to figure out all their choices, but their menu covers almost anything you would want to order. Great selections of soups, breakfast, sandwiches and salads. Overall very nice.
4. Food — You gotta come here for the bread, as it is warmed in the oven and then your sandwich is made. The taste of warm sourdough is awesome and can’t get any better for a really nice taste of good olé San Francisco. They also pile on the meat and cheese, unlike the other traditional sub places that seem to give you just a smattering of the meat and cheese and then a lot of the other filling. So, pound for pound, this place gives you alot!
5, Food Part 2 — I ordered four sandwiches all diferent. The Turkey, the Sourdough, the Garlic Pesto and the Pastrami. All very good and the best part is that they are of good and decent size. They have two sizes.
6. Price — The price is very reasonable. I ordered 4 of the large sandwiches for a total of 30.00.
7. Service — Wow, now this is what I call professional. They are all there waiting to serve you. I went at 2:00 pm and there were several people in front of me. When it came time, they are very fast at making the sandwich and they will come out from around the serving table and give it to you. Kinda like when you buy something at Nordstroms.
Now, my family enjoyed, and yet they do like the bread selections of the other sub places as well as the spices and oils used at the other places. For a real meaty sandwich, I prefer this place.
And, the owners are british and well, I have had plenty of sandwiches in the UK and these folks make a real mean US style sandwich. Not as much meat as a deli like Jason’s, but a lot more than the other places here…
GK says check it out mate!

I was pretty excited to try this place because I love a good sourdough sandwich! I was home sick one day and asked my husband to bring me a soup and sandwich combo for lunch. When the husband got home I realized there was no soup, yet he paid for it on the receipt. Yup, the husband is more to blame than the shop, but in any case I was still upset.
Ok, so I can’t review the soup unfortunately! However, I did get to try the sandwich. It was very light on the meats and heavy on the bread. The bread wasn’t all that yummy or special (Jimmy Johns and Great Harvest are two places with much better bread!). The meats were just ok (Port of Subs and Capriotti’s both have better) and I can’t say I’d return here. It was clearly better than a Subway, but that’s not really all that impressive when it costs over twice as much! There are too many superior sandwich options in Vegas to get excited about this place.

After reading a review that said something about a Unicorn tasting like the Salami and Turkey sandwich I could not wait to stop and try it.
I ordered up the #20 which consisted of the salami, turkey plus added lettuce, tomatoes and onions. I also made it a combo which came with chips and a (Coke products) drink.
The bread was not the Mana I had hoped it would be. The meat portion looks nothing like the pictures. While biting into the second half of my sandwich, I came across an unripe, almost green tomato!
In the family tree of sandwich shops, SFSE is a second cousin to Subway.
Between the sandwich and the overall vibe in the place, SFSE failed to take on any mystical appeal to me.

San Francisco Sourdough is definitely a good sandwich place to go to! I only wish there was one closer to my place. The sandwich had tons of deli meat and the bread was soft but with a firm crust. I had ordered the Pastrami/​Turkey! I was starving so this place was pretty efficient at getting the food out to me quick. The fiancé had the roast beef and pastrami. I believe there are 4 different sandwich sizes, I could have definitely been ok with a small, but I ordered the next size up and I couldn’t finish it. I also ordered a cup of clam chowder. Clam chowder was ok, nothing spectacular, but the fresh sourdough that came out with it was awesome! I will be back when I’m in Henderson! There’s not too many tables, but with their quick service it shouldn’t be an issue.

I wanted to love this place because it is in my neighborhood and I crave a nice deli sandwich so often. This story does not have a happy ending.
For starters I had driven to this place three times only to discover they were closed each time. The hours are not compatible with my belly. Either are the sandwiches…
Let me say that the sandwich tasted amazing and I was ready to be in a monogamous relationship with that bread. Insanely delicious. The meat was flavorful as well. I ordered the Italian heated. I was really happy. My guest ordered a different sandwich and clam chowder. The soup was a bit runny, but he did enjoy his sandwich. After we left we both felt as if we were in our last trimester, but we were still all about the good food. We head to Best Buy.
While my guest was looking at televisions I noticed I started getting super stomach cramps. I excused myself to sprint to the ladies room. Nothing happened-​still cramping. My stomach cramps lasted for 24 hours. My guest ended up with explosive diarrhea and 48 hours later his stomach is still hurting and having Octomom contractions…
Now, I really support new, neighborhood businesses and want them to make it and make me happy with their food. I am unclear on why we both fell ill from the food, but it’s not okay for that to happen. They are a super clean and friendly business who maybe just needs to throw out the mayo. I don’t know. All I know is I will not be returning… :(

I tried going there for breakfast today. When I called at 10:45AM to place a phone order, they said they were no longer serving breakfast. When I asked what time they stopped serving breakfast, they said 11AM!
Okay, whatever. I decided to order a lunch sandwich and they told me they were out of bread. Yes, you read that right — the SF «Sourdough» Eatery did not have bread.
I guess if you want breakfast during the time they serve breakfast, or a sandwich with bread, you’re out of luck!
To be fair, we’ve eaten there once before and the food was great. However, not sure how much longer they’ll be around, if they continue to run their business this way.

False advertisement sucks…
When I see San Francisco and Sourdough in the same sentence, my mouth automatically starts watering. So when Hubby and I were driving down St. Rose this weekend and I saw a sign that said San Francisco Sourdough Eatery, and it had a picture of sandwiches so highly piled with meat it doubled the amount of bread, all I could say was «WHAAAT?».
Naturally we jumped on Unilocal to find one five star review of the place. Only one, but they just opened and are in an obscure location, so we could only believe it to be true… and we decided to check it out for ourselves.
We walked into the empty sandwich shop at around 2pm on a Tuesday, and were greeted by the friendly staff, and what looked like the owners having lunch. Hubby ordered the C Combo; a cup of the soup of the day, Clam Chowder, and a Large 7″ Pastrami and Turkey. And I got the Regular 5″ Turkey. It took a bit for the order to be ready, but we got it to go, and went home to be blown away… or so we thought.
Let’s get to the nitty gritty. We gave the soup a 3.5. It was decently seasoned, and chunky in all the right places, but the consistency was a bit too runny for chowder. Now the sandwiches were so far from what they looked like on the menu and advertisement sign out front, and the sourdough seemed so, well… so so, that we were both very disappointed to say the least. I was expecting outstanding from all the ad hype, and what we got was just normal and blah. Think Subway on sourdough with less vegis and no umph. The best thing about the sandwiches were the pickles that came with them.
The search for the perfect sandwich shop in Vegas continues…
