So far out of all the places I have tried a pastrami sandwich they have the best ones. I always order the pastrami sensation and it is absolutely delicious. I have moved out the area but when ever I’m in town I make sure to get one. If you are in the mood for a pastrami sandwich I most definitely recommend you get one at Lincoln Market.

Great sandwiches, great groceries, great space, and great beer. I lived near here my junior year of college and went very often after school. Pastrami is definitely a high point, but Id recommend just about anything you can get here. I lived in SLO for four years and have been visiting routinely throughout my life and Lincoln has my favorite sandwiches. Would highly recommend if youre in the area.

Went in for lunch with 3 coworkers, we still not aloud to order inside. I was the 2nd to order a basic BLT and it took 35 min to get it ( now my other 3 peeps got theres in just a few min, and were finished before mine even arrived.At least the didnt make it wrong, just took a ton of time, also when I asked where it was I was told.incouldnt wait inside for it. Def dont recommend this Sando spot. Ill pay the same and go to high st.

I’ve always wanted to try this place but not impressed first of all who charges to substitute a cheese out for another kind and overall no friendly customer service go to high street much better sandwich customer service and they’ll substitute anything for you!

Good sandwiches, and very friendly, fast service. I love the little shop they have inside! For such a small lot they have decent parking and bicycle rack. Just make sure you text and not email your order!

What a wonderful sandwich shop! Although, I usually order the breakfast burrito because I love the way they panini press it! Lincoln has a lovely ambiance and atmosphere AND they support local businesses, which I love! Make a stop here and get more than just a sandwich :)

Got a tasty Vegan sub sandwich. Cool place that I would recommend to a friend. My only note is I highly suggest calling in your order ahead of time as they get extremely busy and due to co vid guidelines there tends to be long lines during certain hours.

Something about this place’s bread is sooo good. So far I’ve had their Dutch crunch, baguette, and French roll. All were so fresh. Also great selection of drinks, including alcoholic. Probably my favorite sandwich shop in SLO.

Review №27

Amazing sandwich / deli stop right near the 5, I was traveling from LA up north and got a tip to go here - so glad I did. Their sandwich list is incredible, and they also allow for custom sandwiches. They have an awesome beer and wine selection, amazing kombucha and teas and a great selection of deli items ranging from fresh bread to various simmering sauces from Indian and Thai cuisines! Will definitely make it a routine stop when traveling up north!

Review №28

No shortage of sandwich shops in San Luis Obispo. But Lincoln is my personal favorite. I love the vibe, the outdoor seating, the variety of bottled/canned beer, and of course, the sandwiches. Everything Ive tried has been worth ordering again though I usually get the Pesto Primo. There are good vegetarian and gluten free options, too. They do get busy and parking can get tricky, but if you find a spot its worth the wait.

San Luis Obispo Ca. My daughter and I went here for lunch. It has a college town atmosphere and its very friendly here. We got sandwiches and drinks, food very good. Its a popular place so be ready for a bit of a wait. SLO IS A COLLEGE TOWN, I actually raised my kids here love it but growing to big for me now. I just go visit my daughter now once a yr.😉❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is one of the best delis Ive been 2 in many years. You might say, you should get out more often! Point taken. Does 2 tours around. USA count? Well if so, the sandwiches are superb and scrumptious. Good service and a great variety of food and condiments.

Great food, service, & patio all in one! If you have never been, I recommend you go at least one time. Youll be hooked after that. This is an old ma & pa deli that everybody loves! All types of beverages, snacks & sandwiches. It is very popular so go before or after lunch time. They also take phone in orders.

One of the best delis I have ever been to! This place has great service, amazing selection of chips and sodas, and some of the freshest sandwiches I have ever had! Is a great place to stop to eat off of the highway because it is only 30 seconds away from the exit. I would highly recommend this deli (and market) to anyone in need of a good sandwich. 5 stars!!

This is my Favorite Deli with so many options and choices. Always fresh baked bread and high quality ingredients. The staff here are extremely friendly and will go out of there way to make your order just the way you want it. I always enjoy taking friends and family for the first time. My personal favorite is the classic BLT. The option to eat inside at the nice tables or outside under the umbrellas is a big plus.

Review №42

My first experience there was pretty much more like a building your own choices of different kind or type of sandwich youd want for your own sandwich. Even though I had very extreme light-headed, emotional and disoriented. I was fine right afterwards when I had lunch. I loved that place so very much I might as well live in it. But, seriously, it is so super good place, to eat and drink. There is so many options for you to eat there. I highly recommended you should definitely come by and have a look of taste of it. Please dont hesitate to check it out or be shy or anything like that, just be yourself.

Nice place for a sandwich and a beer of a soda. They may each sandwich custom and bring it to you. be patient and it will show up. The quality is top shelf. and we split a sandwich and believe me it was plenty. Large selection of beer and of chips. all exotic and a bit pricey. Quality costs a bit more and it is worth it!

Really amazing spot located in a neighborhood just a little walk from downtown. Its a really well designed space with an outdoor eating area, a great beer and wine selection and some grocery items too. The sandwiches from the deli are created with care and the service is really pleasant and professional. Its a really comfortable space. Delicious!

Definitely an out of the main tourist area that is worth a quiet lunch or snack. They do have an amazing selection of local beers & other eats.They do make sandwiches, some with homemade ingredients like meatballs. It is a quiet eclectic hippie-yuppy type of place....where it is great to chill. It seems to be popular with the College or College age crowd.

Review №51

Great sandwiches and fun add-ons like tater tots. An excellent selection of beverages both adult and otherwise. Plus so much more, like basic grocery items and fun stuff like pinball. Local makers show their Wares here as well and you can pick up shirts cards magazines and other locally-made snacks. Overall a comfortable place to hang out and the customer service is great.

Review №52

Best sandwiches in town, hands down! Their lettuce wraps cant be beat. They also have the best selection of drinks, alcoholic and non alcoholic, and a small grocery selection. In the back corner, they have several pinball machines to keep you entertained while you eat, and now with their outside patio expansion, and the new parking lot, its hard to want to go anywhere else.

Charming local specialty market and deli with super friendly young staff. Gobbler sandwich was excellent - small Thanksgiving meal in a sandwich. Make-your-own cheese sandwich was a little short on the cheese.

Review №58

Lincoln is my favorite sandwich shop in SLO hands down. They have just about every flavor palette option you could ask for, or you can try it on yourself and build your own sandwich. Their breakfast burritos are unreal. The market is also really awesome. (Tip: if youre planning on going around the lunch rush ~11am-1:30pm, call in ahead, it will take about 15-20 minutes from the time you place the order, where you might wait 30+ if you order in the store.)

Yum. The Strandwich is my go to. A little spendy, but lots of options to eat/drink/snack on. Would definitely go back and recommend. One of the top delis in Slo.

We were on holiday from the UK touring California for 3 weeks when we pulled over on 101 and googled for somewhere to eat for lunch. This was nearby so we simply drove there, went in & ordered food.Lincoln Market & Deli is one of those places you are so glad you found because its a bit of Russian roulette when you walk into places you dont know. The place is mega cool to sit in, service was a pleasure, not packed and the food was incredibly fresh, it ticked every box.I doubt Ill be in area again but if I was, without doubt we would eat there again. Well done guys

Review №63

Went here for the first time after hearing a lot of hype over the breakfast burritos. Im pretty critical when it comes to breakfast burritos. Gotta say I was very impressed with their style. The ingredients are well chosen, also really liked the fact that they include some pinto beans.The real touch that pulls it all together though is the sear on the outside of the burrito, really takes it to another level. The slight fry on the outside of the tortilla really gives the whole burrito a nice cruch. If I had any qualms theyd be over the size of the burrito, its not large, but Id attribute that to the char on the completed burrito which reduces size obviously because it filled me up pretty well and I require a lot of food.

Review №67

We are blessed here in SLO with some if the finest California style delis in existence and this is easily one of the best in town. Not just great sammiches but also a market and haven for tons of local and artisan products. Check the pinball arcade in the back, get there early enough to try out some of the different kinds of tots they offer before they run out, and now featuring a (not so) secret menu!If youre in the mood for a deli sandwich skip any of the chain spots that have recently popped up around town of late and def hit one of the local gems like this place.-- oh and yes, they have a toaster.

Great place for people of all ages and those who enjoy old-school pinball machines 👍Their selection of drinks, chips, and snacks is amazing, complimentary to their delicious sandwiches served on all sorts of breads with a variety of fresh topoings. I cant imagine giving this place anything other than a 5 star, since it is so consistent, comfy, and quick.This is definitely a local favorite and one place many people miss once they leave SLO.

Decor is nice and restaurant is vibin but when I got my sandwich I was shocked... I paid $6.50 for half of a cheesteak sandwich. It took around 15 minutes to arrive and when it arrived I was shocked. $6.50 for a sandwich that is like 3, it took maybe 2-3 bites to finish the whole thing.. such a rip-off. Maybe if you make your own it would be better but that was not right

The customer service provided by the store manager is the worst in the county! He treats his paying customers as thieves if they use the restroom while shopping (dont let him catch you leaving your merchandise outside the bathroom while you rush to pee- hell bang on the bathroom door until youre finished)!
