Awesome..just awesome !!
Another Covid dine in experience. We arrived during the lunch rush so it was busy and took a few minutes to place our order. As a group, we ordered chicken, veal, and meatball sandwiches, plus I ordered the mini veal sandwich and the bread cheese sticks (not really breadsticks at all, but deep fried dough with some cheese). The food was delicious and I highly recommend the mini version of their sandwiches, more than enough for a meal. And don't forget the toppings, such as the sweet red peppers!
Amazing
The best. Be prepared to wait.
Amazing sandwiches, massive portions. Will fill you up for a long time. Quick service even when busy, friendly staff.
I come here regularly with my dad i've tried almost everything on the meau. Their is always a smile on the employees faces and are always served in a timely manner
Always great fresh food!!! Staff are professional and the restaurant is always super clean
Newly renovated, looks and feels modern and refreshing. I've never seen any California Sandwich shop this busy. Sandwich tastes good as always. Staff was super friendly.
The sandwiches are sublime and the service is absolutely A1. The handsome bald bearded gentleman behind the counter never fails to give a welcoming smile that would make any orthodontist proud. While, the shorter tan fellow certainly serves his purpose. The rest of the staff is always on point. For the best sandwich west of the 6ix, California is your spot.
Delicious sandwiches and great customer service
Consistently good! It is my "to go" place when I'm very hungry. It never disappoints and the staff and the owner are awesome.
Always great food and staff
Consistently good (big portions)
Best veal ever!!awesome staff
Great deal sandwiches, cozy dining area
Absolutely great food, my wife had the Vegetarian sandwich and I had the chicken deluxe. For anyone in the area, this is a great place to go. Food is well priced and well worth it.
Been brought up going to the original on Claremont and have tried many other locations, but the Burlington one is th best. Recently went back to Claremont and actually found Burly was better! Good job guys!
I just love this place,perfect for a good meat sandwich fan ???? big and with tons of flavour ???? love it,love it, love it !!!
Great sandwiches. Fast and efficient service! Great for lunch time.
Better than the average sandwich large and tasty simple cafeteria like ambiance but busy and quick ordering somewhat off putting for a rookie as I've mistakenly ordered the wrong sandwich because of their different descriptions and pressure to order quickly, however very tasty
This place reminds me everytime what real customer service looks like. Clean, well lit facility where every single thing on the menu is stellar and fairly priced. Feel like a welcome and well missed friend from the first time you walk through he door.
Absolutely best place to have lunch in Burlington. I went there with Matt and Ben for lunch on Saturday. The sandwiches were so delicious ???? that we couldn't stop talking about them. Plus, I was thirsty for a beer ???? ... and they serve it here! They also offer a variety of salads. No question about it, next time we are in town, California Sandwiches is where we will dine!
I went today for my first time, I bought a veal sandwich and a deluxe veal sandwich.. Big disappointment, too salty, sauce it's not homemade( I know the difference) small amount of toppings( barely any tomatoes) and breading very cheap... I personally rate those sandwich worth no more than $5 ... Not a top sandwich store and as Italian born and tried a lot of them those are not even close to the name... I do not reccomend at all... You can get better sandwich for less.. That's a fact..
This is just one of around 15 family owned restaurants and also one of the best.
Sandwiches are great. When a few people are in there be prepared to wait. It can take some time. The quality is good though
Visited today for a quick dinner and was so happy with my food. I asked for my sandwiches to be packed separately so the sauce wouldnt make by bun soggy and they packaged everything on it's own. Friendly staff, outstanding food and service is on point. Definlty give this place a try if you haven't yet. 2 thumbs up
Love a lot of the other stores but this location many of the sandwiches are quite dry with little sauce and flavour
Take out
When you say no bacon bits and they make the salad and just as I was about to get it they took it back to double check and instead of admitting they put bacon in it they just tried to pick the bits out but clearly you can see they didn’t do a good job. You are in the food business if a customer tells you they don’t eat bacon bits it’s for a good reason you can get people sick by not practice proper food etiquette.
Homemade hot sandwiches, great coffee and espresso, good for families and take out. Barrier free access.
Nice veal sandwich, nice sauce!
First off all the sandwiches are great. You can spice them up almost any way you want. The staff are extremely friendly and efficient. They have lunch time down to a science if you are in a rush. It is abit pricey but you will not get a bigger sandwich anywhere else, the value is pretty good. Hands down this is my favorite lunch spot this side of the St.Lawrence Market. Thanks guys you rock!
Wow the sandwiches here are hands down the best I've had! So good, so much to choose from. Portions are huge so come hungry. Highly recommended!
Great place to get stuffed. Your tongue and and lips will share in a colourful origy with the sandwich leaving your belly in an insatiable dilemma, trying to decide weather to eat more or to stop chewing because you're so full!
Awesome sandwiches even better staff and service!!! You can tell this is a well run business.....everyone cares and thats a hard thing to find now days..It comes directly from ownership..sam and his family always working....smiling...all staff alawys seem happy and never cranky!!! And everytime im there its busy...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK GUYS!!!!
The veal sandwich is very tasty. Portions are generous. Can't wait to go again.
Great sandwiches! Love this place!
Excellent value, the staff are absolutely amazing and one of the best sandwiches I ever had. Definitely going back!
Good food. Fast, friendly service
So good. Wish they had a location in hamilton but willing to drive 20 minutes for it!
This location is by-far the best place to go if you're hungry for a massive and delicious sandwich! This is one of the best run establishments in the city and that starts from the top. The staff are incredible, friendly, fast and great people too. The store is extremely clean and has a friendly, family-like atmosphere! The food is always made to order, hot and packed with flavour as everything is made fresh and in-store everyday! You can't beat it. Do yourself a favour and go there, if it's your first time it won't be your last time. Guaranteed! You'll love it.
Tis' was pretty great!
Best sandwiches ever!
Best veal sandwich in Burlington by far
Ordered a STEAK SANDWICH opened it up an right away noticed mushrooms from a can.. Gross ???????????? Super disappointed ????
Amazing service ! We love the lasagna!!!!! Thank you so much to Carla, Jessica, Samantha, John and Sam for providing Lunch at an unbeatable price to the whole team! See you guys every week!
Yum!! Everytime I go and get food from this place the staff is super nice. The food is even better. If you have't tried California Sandwiches then you need to change that. It's the best
Great food, great service. What more is there to say
We have tried to give these guys business, but every time we order, there is always a problem. Last order we sent, we asked to have it ready for 12:00pm, because the people in our workplace take lunch at 1:00pm, we sent a driver to go and pick up (we emailed them our order at 11:00am), and the order was not ready, and the guy on the phone were belligerent. Stay Away from this place. Joe Tarasca
By far best sandwich around
Always loved California sandwiches even back from the day when you used to pick it up from Corner store downtown Toronto. They have come a long way
The food is great, but seeing the employees that are making the food in the back with their masks under their noses really turns me off this place. Will wait until the pandemic is over before I return to this location.
Great sandwiches great staff
Great staff and very good veal sandwiches. Mmmm
Expensive but you get a lot of food! Even the mini sandwiches will fill you up, and ultimately worth it for such great quality and taste.
Awesome veal sandwiches and amazing friendly service no matter what location.. highly recommend them.. keep up the amazing work
TL:DR They have great food and good prices. I highly recommend California Sandwiches. Their food is very generously portioned, for most people I would suggest a mini sandwich as it is still a large sandwich and can easily fill one person. The normal sandwiches can easily be shared with two people, especially the meatball which comes with a meatball the size of a baseball, and that isn't even an exaggeration. The fries, onion rings and pasta that I have tried there have also been very good, far better than any other fast food place I have gone to. They also have some very nice business practices which make it feel a lot nicer then most places. An example is that all their posted prices are nice number that most often end in 75, 50, 25 or 00 to round everything nicely, they also all include tax so you pay what you see and everything is straight forward. Every time I have gone there the place is clean and pleasant and the staff are friendly.
Super stuffing gigantic titanic sandwiches and friendly staff... I liked them when I was a vegetarian... Can't have them anymore since I became a vegan.
Hands down BEST sandwiches in town!! The restaurant itself is comfy and clean, the staff are awesome!!
Delicious food. Great staff.
Always great sandwiches and good service, they are not grumpy as they are in other California Sandwiches locations.
Great sandwiches, I usually get the chicken deluxe. Service is friendly and approachable and is always quick. I keep coming back, love this place!
Ordered a meatball sandwich, by the time I opened it 10 minutes after purchase all the bun was extremely soggy and the meat was undercooked enough that I didn't wanna eat it..would not buy again
Big sandwich!!!
Great service, friendly staff and best bang for your buck, no other place like it if you want a giant great tasting sandwhich.
The best sandwiches. I've been going there over 40 year's, excellent service, reasonable prices. Good Eat.
The best delicious italian sandwiches I have ever tasted. Super friendly staff. A great place for everyone to grab a quick meal.
Huge sandwiches. Their mini is a regular sized portion. Great for sharing and if you dont have much plans for the rest of the day after you have one of their sandwiches :)
Why aren't you closer to my house? I love these sandwiches. From the quality of bread, meat, and sauce, to the friendly and efficient service, what's not to love. I've been eating California Sandwhiches for a half decade at the Scarborough location and was pleased to see this place matches their quality every step of the way. Beware, this place gets BUSY at lunch time, I recommend ordering ahead.
Tues weds thurs they have a promo on lasagne. I went in at 5:30 to pick up some slices for dinner and was told they were out. They sell out in the morning. I'm confused. If this item is on promo why would you not be cooking lasagnas all day especially for lunch and dinner times. Very disappointed on how they manage that and let with nothing.
We went because of all the good reviews but found that everything was just alright. Been a couple times with different people but still haven't been blown away. The sandwiches are big and good, they just didn't really live up to all the great reviews I read.
Good sandwiches! Decent prices.
we came in here with high expectations, portion comes across as big but my chicken sandwich came with no lettuce no tomato no nothing, meat was thin and bad quality. It would be acceptable if it was $4 but it was $9 dollars and my dad got the tomato sauce one and you'd expect there'd be cheese or something but it was just the meat and sauce. Gross.
Clean inside and out. Place was exactly how I expected . Service was great. Quick. Helpfull.... food was amazing. Worh the money . Every penny. I'd even pay more. Bon appetit ????????????
Wow simply wow. Fantastic sandwiches and excellent salads. A must stop. Quality and price go hand in hand here.
Always a good sandwich
Great food great service
Just like the one I know and love on Dufferin in Toronto! The food was amazing and the service so friendly and polite.
Best food in town. Go pay 7$ for a McDonald's chicken sandwich then come back here and see what 9$ can do.
California Sandwiches is always fantastic. All their locations maintain high standards This location has the best staff and owners! Hands down. Spacious location. Clean and bright. Bring your appetite you won’t be disappointed.
Disappointed because the order through Skip the dishes came incorrect again, second time around. We ordered 2 sandwiches both with sauce on the side, the steak sandwich arrived soggy and innundated with sauce. Giving 3 stars because the sandwiches are good, just wish someone paid more attention to the orders, I would really hate to discontinue because of the sauce but I don't like it on my sandwich
Talk about amazing sandwiches?! THIS IS THE SPOT.
Service
I got the meatball sandwich and I couldn’t even eat it. smell of the meat made me want to puke. I took a bite anyways, completely bland and awful consistency it wasn’t even in the form of meatballs. Waste of my money.
Amazing as always. 100% top notch quality food as well as service. The team of staff are second to none and the veal sandwich cannot be beat.
Best spot for a veal sang a weech.. I go for the veal extra hot peppers with cheese and light on the sauce… I have tried every single sandwich on the menu and they all satisfy… The hardworking staff are the type to low your name and order and greet your accordingly… Thanks for another amazing lunch!
Amazing Quality at this location, a noticeable step up vs other locations. The sauce is delicious and the portion size - WOW!!!!
If you have not tried their Sandwiches, you are Missing something out of this WORLD.
I've had the chicken and veal parm both with added jalapenos and they were so damn good. The sauce was mild but not too acidic and the roll was fresh. Served with beer (MGD) and a smile (one server there is... ????). They have antipasto, olives and jalapenos. They also sell caccatore and antipasto mix as well as their house made tomato sauce. Sandwich will run you $10 or more but it is filling and worth it
Ridiculously Big Sandwhiches but very tasty. Could easily split one with two people. Definitely a Bang for your buck.
Always a great place to eat. Greasanwiches. I hope they bring more days with the lasagne, Some of the best I have ever tasted.
Their veal sandwiches are a must try. Very personable owners and great staff.
Delicious! Fast and friendly..
Tried the Veal works and it really good.
I just had the meatball sandwich at the Burlington location on Fairview Street. It was awful, TRULY awful, one of the worst sandwich experiences I've ever endured. I say that as someone who used to buy the "day old" sandwiches at Donut Diner as a younger man of lesser means. This sandwich was nothing but flavourless meatball and tomato sauce. Cheese and mushrooms are available as toppings only if you PAY EXTRA. Onions are not available as a topping at all. Some bites had no meat at all, while it was falling off the bun at other points, as if the meat & sauce were carelessly slopped on the bun with a big spoon. Look to other options: Goody's Subs at Guelph Line & Mountainside, Sammy's Donairs at Guelph Line & New. This place? NO.
Meal type
Chicken deluxe sandwich was excellent! I'm definitely be back.
We ordered the breaded eggplant sandwich since we are vegetarians. It smelled of fish, perhaps fried in the same oil. We had to throw the sandwich away. Bad experience for the first time.
I am in love with their veal parmigiano sandwich!!
Just witnessed very unhygienic way of preparation .the guy who was cutting the sandwiches wearing no gloves meanwhile he is touching his order screen and phoneline too. VERY unsafe specially when we all fighting for a global pandemic
Staff are really friendly and the food is excellent!
Just like Nonna would make!????
Huge portions. A little pricey but delicious. I recommend the veal sandwich. If you forget it's baby cow there's no cons!
Worth the wait every time.
Fantastic food. Service always is a 5 star.
I have been coming to California Sandwiches since day 1 in Burlington. Love the Sweet Chicken and the service is always top notch. No complainants at all!
Fantastic location with great food and better people! The food is delicious, prepared in a timely manner and the staff has always been courteous and engaging. I had heard positive things, but now know them to be true!
Great Italian sandwiches. Great staff. Every bit as tasty as the Toronto original.
Love the food and people be going to California sandwiches for over 30 yrs. and never been disappointed.
Really good food. I wish I could eat here everyday lol
Awesome service! Ordered a work lunch, each sandwich was bagged separately and identified for easy distribution. Everyone was curtious and accommodating and pleasant. Thanks
Love the people, love the food, love the energy. Come here if you're looking for happiness.
Classic sandwiches. Very tasty, but don't go crazy on the extras because they do add up quickly and your sandwich that initially cost $8 bucks is now $17. By the way, they are huge. Five Stars.
Bun was little stale. Sauce was very salty
Always great. Big portions and friendly staff.
THE best spot for an Italian sandwich! Their food is beyond incredible, huge portions- the minis are normal size for reference! We try to go have a date night here every few weeks, as we are from out of town. The amount of deliciousness packed in their food is overwhelming! Be sure to pickup a cacciatore or pasta salad, they are a great side! Fabulous customer service. Overall amazing!!!!
My daughters and I love this spot! The fish, veal & chicken sandwiches are great so is the homemade lasagna if you're there on time, always pre-order! Sam and his team are super friendly and are always hospitable.... I have sent many clients and they are very happy with the food and service! I think the pricing is on point, go to Vaughan or Toronto and it's more than double -- Sorry for the low rating Star reviews by others, but you can't please everyone they say????????
Most delicious thing i have ever had with fast and efficient service ????
Excellent Sandwich Great Staff
Great service and fantastic sandwiches
Best veal sandwiches ever!
Finally a place to get real food fast. The food is delicious, I can't even pick my favourite sandwich! The prices are great for what you're getting, fresh buns, meat, veggies and a BIG delicious sandwich. If you haven't been I suggest you go right away, I know I am.
The best sandwiches since ???? 1967 a repeat customer from the original 1967 store ????
Been going since I was a kid. Best veal/chicken sandwiches in town!
First time there . Awsome staff . Food OMG One sandwich was two meals for me.
Love all California sandwich shops!
These sandwiches are the greatest tasting ever. ????❤
I have to say i was disappointed. I had heard so much good things but I found these sandwiches overpriced and nothing special. Maybe I just got them on an off night. I'm not sure if I'd try them again
Place seemed clean. Friendly staff. But the food just wasn't good. I can see a lot of ppl like it.. but my bread was soggy to the point I couldn't even hold it and the meat balls are huge but also bland. Meatball sandwich tasted like bread with soggy bread in the middle and bottom with plain sauce. Like I said everything about the place was good but the food in my opinion. Don't think I'd give this place a 2nd chance.
Big as your head sandwiches. And made fresh to order. Bring an empty stomach.
Best veal sandwich around. Big portion, good value.
Pleasantly stuffed!
Always fresh and delicious.
Been going to California Sandwich since the early 70's each one is unique, the original location where it all began is my favorite. Fantastic food..
Good food and friendly service, just remarkably slow. Took 15 minutes to get my order and only 4 people ahead of me. Still, I'd go back - just not if I were in a rush.
Love the food
Best Sandwich in the GTA
The tastiest sandwiches in Burlington by far! Clean environment and very friendly staff! it's always a pleasure to walk in and be greeted by smiles and fresh, delicious sandwiches.
Best tasting California Sandwhich I have had so far. The reason for me taking off 3 stars is their hygiene. The cashiers cut your bun for you after the kitchen staff make it. The cashiers wipe the counters, have their hands in their pocket, handle money, scratch their face and hair and dont wash their hands and completely press down your bread. Luckily we put the filling in another softer bun for the kids anyways. This time I also put my filling in another bun. Unfortunately will not be returning here.
Always, always amazing food, customer service
Expensive, but delicious sandwiches.. They charge for every extra topping you add.. Sides are crazy pricey too. But the veal sandwiches are awesome. Worth it once in a while.
The chicken sandwich is great but even when i call an order in i have to wait 10 minutes just to pay. There needs to be more than one register. Even when you order in person youre standing amongst people trying to eat waiting for your food, plus its closed on Sundays which is a bit of a let down.
Best chicken parmesan around
Great place!! Love the staff and food is great.
Consistently delicious. Staff are friendly and quick. Good bang for your buck. Ps. Get the veal
Lunch
Great sandwiches. They do a good job.
Solid veal sandwich!! Short wait times! Sam and company have it down to a science
Life are hands-down the best deal on a bun I've ever had in my life
best place for veal sandwiches in burlington,sandwiches are huge
The veal sandwiches are awesome. I would definitely recommend it for you meat lovers ????????????????
Absolutely the best veal !!! Wow and the lasagna is amazing truly fresh ingredients . Great staff and very polite. My brother had me drive from the airport to your establishment before he went home after being away six months. Keep up the great work.
I definitely come here for the veal sandwich!
Consistently great food and service, can't really ask for more!
Head and shoulders above the rest, California Sandwiches set a new standard for sandwich shops that few others meet. High quality fresh chicken, veal and eggplant, nicely breaded and sauced, in generous portions. The place itself is much nicer than you'd expect from a sandwich shop. Spacious, well-lit and comfortable, it's a good choice for dining in. And unlike most sandwich shops, you can enjoy a beer there - a couple of domestics ($4.40) and imports ($5), including two Italian beers. They also offer an impressive selection of carbonated drinks, including top brands like San Pellegrino and Brio. Quality comes at a cost: the large sandwiches are $9.50. Adding cheese, onions, mushrooms and tax will bring your total to almost $14. But then again, a 12" ham sandwich at Mr. Sub next door will cost you over $10, and comparing the two is like comparing Dom Perignon to a $5-a-gallon spritzer. I do, however, wish they'd offer a choice of bread. The buns they use are okay, but don't really hold up with the thick, creamy sauce, and you end up with a tasty but wet mess in your hands. I'd gladly pay an extra $0.50 for a thick crust Italian ciabatta, as I do at Hero Certified Burgers. And while there are no handicapped parking spots nearby (and only one in the entire 230 spot plaza parking lot!), the half dozen spots right by the door are spacious and usually available, and a ramp provides for easy wheelchair access. They'll also be happy to cater your event.
Lunch
Amazing food super friendly staff. Recommend 1000%
Delicious sandwiches...arancini and spicy olives. Very filling and so satisfying. Friendly staff????
Excellent customer service and food. Owners take very good care of this location and we will be back time and time again!
Best sandwiches out there. A bit of a wait but well worth it. Staff is great. My favorite place for lunch
Food is fantastic but you'll wait a while for it, it's always busy
The veal or the chicken are always great! The arancini are delicious!
Great place and staff. One of my favorite work lunch and dinner options
Dinner
Super friendly staff and fresh food. I typically get the spicy chicken and cannot emphasize how great it is. Worth the dollars spent.
Delivery
What a fresh and fast sandwiches with a multiple of toppings!
Sort stumbled into this place the food is amazing these sandwiches are the best I've ever had and the selections are out of this world it is definitely in Burlington a must eat Place once in your life and if you can only once I'll be amazed XOXO
Delicious I go for sauce on the side and very hot jalapenos but those are still pretty weak
Fast service great food
I agree with the reviewer who said the sandwiches are bland. I ordered a medium hot veal and it really had no flavour. I'm shocked at the number of people that say it is the best italian sandwich they've ever had. I also agree with another reviewer that talked about the price. Almost $12 for a veal sandwich and they want you to pay extra for toppings!! Wow. The 2 stars are for the staff. They are friendly and operate like a well oiled machine.
Loved the veal sandwich
Dinner
I've only had one experience here and it was good but not great, what stopped it from being great is small things like the lack of customer service that was provided when our order was called and we were required to walk from our seats to grab it even though we were sitting at the bar and then watching someone elses order (a regular I assume) being called and having it brought right to him. It makes you feel undervalued as a customer and luckily for this location the food is decent, I had the chicken sandwich which was good however if it came with cheese on it by default rather than being an add on I guarantee more people would have a terrific experience rather than an average experience when it came to the food. The chicken while good was also harder to eat in the sandwich due to it being several pieces as opposed to one or two larger pieces which was likely done to decrease the cooking time. I enjoyed my experience enough that I'm writing a review, I would consider eating their again and trying the Veal Sandwich as it is apparently their best offering.
Meal type
Best cali I've been to besides the original. Good on yahs
What can you say? The reputation is well deserved. The veal sandwiches are incredible! They have COVID limited seating if you are looking to dine in.
Thank you Johnny and staff for the delicious catering you made yesterday. The chicken cutlets are always perfection, very nice addition with the potatoes too. Everyone loved the food and can’t wait for the next event to order again. Thank you so much.
The veal deluxe sandwich was amazing! Will definitely be coming back for another one! Only qualm is the ordering system. Need to have a way to keep track of what orders are ready, so people don't have to crowd around the front and can sit down and relax.
Always amazing. The Perfect Chicken sandwich
Great food ready on time, always a good meal!
Good food and nice place to eat or take out
Chicken sandwiches are fire ????. That's all I gotta say.
Meal type
In the mood for big food, delicious food and great service? This is your stop. I have been here a number of times and have always been tremendously satisfied - and full!
Great food. Good service. Price not the cheapest but they do give you a big serving. I definately would go back.
Best Veal Parma you can ask for! Hot with cheese and surprisingly good with no bun as well
The veal sandwiches here are awesome. Hot peppers that really are hot which I want. Most other places the peppers don't make it. I need my California sandwich fix about once a month. Abd the staff is very friendly.
Veal sandwich was great but the young lady that brought my sandwich was fantastic
Always top notch . Quick and friendly service. Consistently awesome. EVERY time you go, you know its gonna be the same fantastic experience you had before. Highly recommend the eggplant parmesan
O god I am so full this is what I say every time I eat Cali. Amazing buggers. Always fresh and sooooo yummy. The staff is just outstanding and girls working their are beautiful ????. Simply amazing.
Best sandwich you'll find in Burlington. ???? Stopped in for lunch. Service was super quick. Sat outside on the patio. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Veal Parm sandwich was outstanding!
Fabulous
Great place for a quick lunch! My colleague and I order take out for lunch very frequently. Staff is very friendly and food is always amazing. Highly recommend!
As always. Best Italian sandwiches anywhere.
This place is great and always has huge portions. Stark contrast to the Winston Churchill location which is really poor quality. The veal sandwich here is amazing every single time, and very friendly staff.
Great sandwiches! Great food.
Normally outstanding. Last night the chicken was very dry. Not much sauce either
Huge sandwiches, very good for lunch and take homes for dinner. Lots of other snacks you can buy there as well, I've only had the veal so far but I plan to go back as soon as I am in the area
Great sandwiches just like nonna used to make
Service
Food was ok. I had the lasagna, but it was a little cold
Great food all tastes cooked from scratch unlike the prepackaged stuff you get at most places loaded with preservatives
You and I had been apart too long, medium veal sauce on the side :-P
Was not happy. After attending this establishment 5 or 6 times for our meals, we were then offered a card for our purchases, buy 10 l think it was and you get one sandwich free. My husband and l have been there 5 or 6 times to eat. The people know we travel in from Cambridge and would not stamp our card for at least 3 each of our visits. It just didn't seem fair when we told the girl at the cash, but she didn't care.
Great sandwiches! Never had a bad one.
Great portions. You get what you pay for. Staff is very nice and well trained.
Always amazing
Excellent sandwiches but be ready for a wait at lunch
OMG BEST SANDWICH EVER
Nothing like it !!!!
Great sandwich, enough to share one with another, reasonably priced
Best veal sandwiches around, Sam and his staff to be complimented on service and quality, which is second only to the original California sandwiches, located downtown Toronto and run by Sam's dad Frank, I've personally going to the Toronto location since I was 12 in 1971, was the best then and is still the best.
Visited last night - ordered 1 veal with cheese, 1 chicken with cheese and 1 mini eggplant with extra sauce and cheese on the side due to allergy (sandwich comes with cheese automatically) and 1 dry salami. All sandwiches were burnt - veal and chicken had no cheese at all with hardly any sauce. Cheese was on eggplant but was later removed by staff and put in an aluminum paper full of sauce.. terrible attention to detail. Salami was not fresh and had a foul taste. Please better yourselves - as customers we pay alot of money for this meal and not getting what you paid for is unfair especially during a pandemic when people don't have much money at all. Will not visit this location. Maple and Queensway are much better and worth driving to.
Burlington BEST place We Always order Extra spicy 2 Chicken Burgers Best of Best
Love the food but the prices are a bit on the high side.
If you've never had one, you're missing out.
Tasty and good value for what you get. Order the Veal Sandwich and tell'em Richie sent you! Remember extra napkins ... You'll thank me for that tip : )
Very good food
best bang for your buck..puts every other quick diner or fast food place to shame. HUGE sandwhich great tasting. never had anything like it. can't wait to have another
Always delicious.
You haven't had a veal sandwich until you have had a veal sandwich from this place. They have 14 locations from Burlington on down to Toronto the only thing that they could use is one in Brantford and 25 more in other cities. The portions are immense, the staff always friendly and when I was there today there was a guy scrubbing out the big massive pot that they use for their sauce. I said to the guy you know you're really getting on down in there and it's good to see and he said to me this is the main staple for what makes us successful is our sauce and I'm going to clean it every square inch of it. The place is always super clean and that doesn't matter which one you go in they are all like that. So do yourself a favor stop in one day and get yourself one of these sandwiches. They also have chicken and steak and what I didn't know but found out today they also have fries.
Always a good bite at California sandwiches! Same order for years : veal with eggplant and mozerella and a small order of olives. Always been consistent!
Reminds me of a nice saucy sandwich at nonnas house. I get veal or chicken, OR chicken deluxe with sauce, provolone and hot jalapenos. Decent portions, i have a big appetite and im always full when i leave here.
That is very good place and different with others California sandwiches.
Absolute Best. Super friendly staff.
I love this place... the sauce is perfect, the chicken cutlets are tender, juicy and perfectly breaded, the sandwiches are always huge. I genuinely wish every mcdonalds was a california sandwiches instead.
Still the best veal sandwich I have ever had.
Probably the best sandwich I've ever had. Did the veal - spiced up with mushrooms and rapini. Very filling and made me want to take a nap afterwards.
This place is amazing but definitely not for the poor.
Service is too slow on the highway side the sandwiches are really good
WORSE STEAK SANDWICH I EVER ATE...I do love California sandwiches one my favorite franchise but this one was horrible that frozen meat felt like a plastic in my mouth trying to chew
I visited California Sandwiches for the first time about a month ago, first let me start off by saying that the staff are probably the best group of people I have ever encountered! I honestly felt like I had known the girls at the counter for years!! Even the customers were amazing telling me what a treat I was in for!! The sandwich went far beyond my expectations! It was absolutely massive, very very fresh and tasted divine! If you want to give your tastebuds a party I highly recommend visiting here, you won’t be disappointed!!! I’m looking forward to my next visit!!
Great sandwiches, I have tried the Meatball, Chicken, Veal, and Steak sandwiches. The 4 kinds I have tried are great but my favorite is the Chicken which I always get extra hot with the works & extra sauce (provolone cheese, onion and mushrooms). Not only do they have good sandwiches they also sell containers of "spicy" olives. I used quotes because i do not find the spicy but some may.
Best veal sandwiches. Friendly and quick.
Chicken sandwiches are so good and so big
Great food, slow service.
Delicious marinara sauce... don't forget to add roasted peppers and jalapeno.
The best veal sandwich ever. Get it with cheese. The potato salad is awesome! The cacciatore dry sausage is very good as well.
Love the veal sandwich. Huge size but a little pricey depending on what you add on. There's a small area to eat in and staff are typically friendly. Good quality bun; overall a solid sandwich choice.
Mmmmmm need i say more lol
Always get a consistent veal sandwich here. The toppings are kind of pricey though, but one bite makes it worth it. Their tomato sauce isn't bad, but I'm bias as my sauce kicks ass....and I'm Italian....but they do a dann good job.
Pretty good place, big sandwiches, nice staff, a bit pricy tho!
Great place with great food and great people who run it!
I absolutely love this place. I go so often they all know me by name... and I’m totally okay with it! ;) Foods always great even on an “off day”. Staff is super friendly, the Owner is amazing. Literally my favourite place to eat! They are like my second family!
Foods good but employees are not so friendly at times so only 3 stars
Awesome veal and chicken sandwiches. The service at this location is the best when compared to other locations in the chain.
Great sandwiches..ask for extra sauce
Best veal sandwich in the world! Excellent customer service ????
Take out
Freaking fantastic...nothing more to be said
Glad to see the mini's added to the menu! Family favourite since the original in Toronto!
Friendly place, eat in or take out, prices are also very fair and affordable. I just love the passion they put into their sandwiches ????????
Great sandwich great price
By far the best sandwich around. Very friendly staff. So worth the drive from Hamilton.
Service
You can count on this place to give you a quality sandwich everytime, also their packaged to go pastas and meat slices are really good too! The ladies are always friendly. I'm on my way to you now!
Service
Still the best olives around with my favourite Sammy steak and onions
Best hot steak andeat ball, chicken deluxe and veal, the most tastiest in the world!????
Always fantastic. Shop was busy and extremely well organized with smart covid protocols.
Monumental delicious sandwiches. Fantastic veal & chicken sandwiches. Good cheeses and topings. I went to the original (and back then, the only) location in Little Portugal when I was a kid. It was a mom & pop operation in a quaint setting with unbelievably delicious food. I had never before had anything like it and still remember the look and taste today of that first veal sandwich on a bun with cheese and peppers. Inside my friends and I would be surrounded by walls plastered with signed pictures and newspaper articles of Toronto Blue Jays & Toronto Argonaut players. This location is a modern version, tasteful decor and seating but a bit cold (temperature wise too), I might be wrong but I find the price point a bit high, and the calorie count the same. Yet, this is the closest location to Hamilton and for those that don't know the original this is a nice place. Ample free parking, easy access into & through the restaurant, nice washrooms, very friendly and helpful staff. Good place to take a friend for lunch. You won't be hungry until dinner time as this is one big delicious hot sandwich! Great, now my mouth is watering :)
Service
Lunch
Great size sandwich, it is not very crowded on Friday night what I love. Fair price
Great sandwiches done right. They are large portions, but they charge for every topping which makes it pricey. $10 for veal with only tomato sauce. Friendly family type atmosphere. Picture below I paid extra for eggplant and mushrooms.
Consistently good food and friendly staff!
Take out
Big tasty sandwichs, come hungry and leave full.
If you are on a diet this is not a place to indulge in! The sandwiches weigh in heavy. You will not go home hungry. The meatball with extra cheese was very filling. One member of our party loved the veal sandwich. Be prepared to pay extra for additional tops. Clean and bright , nice stop over for a quick bite.
Wasn't expecting a sandwich this good! It was big, messy, and delicious. Will definitely go back again.
This sandwich is a meal, fresh and filling.
Standard Italian style sandwiches. Good for very hungry people.
Perfect experience, had the veal sandwich c/w onions and mushrooms on a bun. Two fister enjoyment, sadly no room for dinner. Oh well...sacrifice worth every bite.
Very pleasant overall experience. Friendly staff. Orders are prepared fast. Lots of open space within the restaurant for customers to safely order and wait for their food. No dine in available, just take out. Hand sanitizer readily available inside entrance. Wheelchair accessible entrance and bathroom too. I definitely recommend this restaurant for take out.
Great service and food!
They serve the world's finest veal sandwich by far with delicious provolone cheese, mushrooms, sweet peppers, jalapeno peppers , spicy olives and many more choices. The original sauce and delicious Italian bun is probably one of the main reasons for the long line-ups at every lunch hour. They even have the Italian soft drink Brio to go along with many more fine Italian sandwiches.
If you're craving a great veal sandwich, look no further. This location had ample seating, so finding a table during lunchtime was no problem.
Amazing as always and very very filling.
Can’t go wrong with California Sandwiches. Excellent Italian style sandwiches with good sides. Had a veal and some marinated olives. Good stuff.
Exceptional food and service!
Very slow service. Good quality food and all but also quite expensive for a sandwich.
Do not ever go there.. Sandwiches are garbage. Customer service is worse than I have ever seen.... STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE..
This is my first time in the Burlington location. Friendly service and huge portion sizes!!! Do yourself a favor and if you ever have a craving for a great sandwich that needs satisfying, visit California Sandwiches!
If you can use your credit card too, there will be 4 star.
Excellent food staff was very friendly and efficient and the owner was extremely friendly good experience
If you really want to know how California Sandwiches taste, try the branch in Toronto on Dufferin and Eglington... California Sandwiches is the best sandwiches in my opinion but this Burlington branch should do something to meet the standards. You can feel the difference from Toronto branch in everething even onion rings and olives... Whoever is preparing the food there certainly doesn't love his job
Sandwiches are great but the hours open are horrible and seem to vary.
I don't like to give out 5 stars because they need to WOW me but California Sandwiches is definitely on my top 5 for best chicken sandwich!
Simply the best veal sandwich in Burlington — and beyond! Great staff and great espresso, too!
Fodd is fantastic and the staff are great
One of the best veal parm sandwiches I’ve had, pair it with some of their top notch fries and it’s one of the best meals in Burlington.
Delicious sandwiches in massive sizes!
I find this location has better options than other locations.
Excellent serice and amazing staff. The food is tasty and believe me..... yummo
Sandwiches are great - would suggest getting the sauce on the side.
Hot and fresh loved the chicken parm and olive salad. Authentic Italian food like Nonna used to make
Friendly service staff
Very generous portions!
Love it ! Best chicken parm ever. Huge sandwich last for 2 meals. I keep coming back for more....???? yum.
Disappointed that no topping were included for the price. Otherwise, very good.
Delicious food and great staff
Fantastic sandwiches for a decent price. Will be coming back again!
Love this place. The veal with jalapeno spread is top notch
Had a great meal at California Sandwiches!! I had the steak and onion sandwich, absolutely huge!! Very tasty and the staff was very friendly and polite. Bring your appetite!!!
Huge fan of California Sandwiches . The one in Maple is where I typically go. The mini veal is so much smaller at this location. There was very little sauce on the sandwich as well. I will give it another shot , maybe they had a bad day.
The best veal sandwich around!
Amazing chicken sandwich and add the jalapenos if you like a touch of heat
The best sandwich I have ever eaten.,,????????????????????
FOOD OF THE GODS! Fresh-made and damned addictive, that chicken sandwich is the stuff of dreams. The people running the joint are always friendly and for what you get, the price is beyond-reasonable. Highly recommended!!
Very good sandwiches. I have had the veal, chicken and eggplant, all of which were excellent. Great spot with nice staff. Highly recommend
Amazing sandwiches, always constantly good. Never disappointed when I go here.
Fresh ingredient and a hearty portions make for some nice sandwiches
Best veal sandwich around! Staff are great also and super friendly.
Amazing sandwiches! The service was quick and the food superb. Their spicy chicken is my personal favourite, but the veal with sauce is another worthy choice.
Hands down the best Italian sandwiches! Large portion sandwiches, their sandwiches are always made right to order and never have messed up our orders once. Best taste food as well. If you’re looking for fresh delicious Italian sandwiches this is the place to go!
During these Covid times, social interaction has been limited and coming to California Sandwiches has always been a pleasant experience. From the staff, cleanliness of the restaurant and accommodating my meals. These sandwiches have the quality of a home cooked meal and 5 Star restaurant combined. Easily the best sandwich restaurant in all of Burlington.
Not a big fan of giant sized bread.. the fillings are amazing but the bread size is a bit too much!!
Amazing sandwiches.
I had the chicken parmesan and the taste is pretty decent. Not too dry and sauce was tasty. The size was substantial so you can save half for later of you're not too hungry. Nice and quick online ordering. Would recommend
Dine in
Always great food and quick service.
Great place to get a huge sandwich, it's heavy! Every time I've come it's always been fresh and tasty. Best to eat there or fairly quickly otherwise the sandwich gets soggy due to the fresh tomato sauce.
The best!
Lots of people love the veal sandwich, but my favourite is the chicken. Huge sandwiches, so no need for a side unless you are starving.
Excellent service and food. One of the best locations I have been to. Owners take pride in their location and it is always clean. I will definitely return
Amazing sandwiches!!! Love your Cheese Sticks too! Everyone should try them at least once in their life.
One of the best locations. They make 'em right here, everytime. The only location with a loyalty program. Keep up the good work guys.
Was an amazing tasting sandwich. I was blown away at the size too!
Took way to long to make and the sandwich is just falling apart with sause. Taste okay but there are better restaurants to go to that are much cheaper and taste better
Absolute best chicken sandwiches. Always a hearty portion and great tasting. Their chicken with cheese pairs great with their olives! Cannot recommend this place enough!
Great food. Nice sit in place for lunch. Sandwiches are huge and very filling.
Very tasty sandwiches , the veal sandwich is the top of the line
Great food. Awesome staff. Super friendly. Definitely recommend going there. Often!
Delicious
Best damn sandwich you'll ever have!!!! I recommend the veal. Do NOT get a side!!! (Unless you get a mini sandwich, or are super super super super hungry) The portions are HUUUUUGE. They make their own sauce that you can purchase to take home. Anyone I've brought here makes it an instant favourite! :)
I used to enjoy the eggplant sandwich and found portion sizes to be fair for the price. After not having visited in a year, I found that they have maybe changed the way they prepare it. There seemed to be some sort of seasoning on it, and no matter how many times I washed my hands the smell of these spices would not come off.
Wonderful experience. The most delicious sandwiches I have ever had.
Great chicken sandwich! First time for both my boyfriend I and we both loved it! Definitely will be going back for the great food and super friendly and helpful staff!
I love the sandwiches from here. They are a nice size and are very filling. They have a small selection of side dishes you can get as well such as olives or salami. I recommend the veal as I believe it is the one that comes with onions already on it. Other toppings such as cheese and veggies are an additional charge. Give this place a try if you are looking for a good filling meal.
My husband and I split a veal sandwich and were stuffed. So good, so fresh! We ate in, but they do call in orders for pick-up which seems popular there.
Awesome sandwiches! Useless napkins...
While I do not eat here all the time, when we/I do for our lunches, it has always been delicious and always consistent. The taste buds and stomach never lie.
Amazing as always. The BEST place to get an Italian Veal sandwich or any of the other sandwiches California has to offer. Staff are fantastic and treat you like your family. It's always a pleasure to eat here ÷)
No complaints here. Friendly staff. Always busy at lunchtime. Lasagna on Tuesday and Thursday only is fantastic.
I stop here to pick up sandwiches when driving back to Toronto from Niagara Falls. I always get delicious sandwiches! The staff are always great every time. Great job!!
This place makes some good sandwiches
Food is first rate and staff here are always awesome and friendly.
Good sandwiches. A little pricey.
Sucks and very bland! The size of the burgers are great but man the buns are cheap and the sauce soaks through very quickly! I order the chicken burger with jalapeño and they do not distribute the spice on the burger well I only tasted it at the end. You can find better burgers for cheaper and that’s a fact! P.S season YOUR FOOD
Tasty food
Have had the opportunity to visit this location on three or four occasions. Staff have always been friendly and food is up to the California Sandwiches standard. Would definitely return if in the Burlington area in the future.
Great food with big portions. Staff is great and friendly. Owners are always around making you feel welcomed. Just a great atmosphere to enjoy a delicious meal. Also tried the catering service for my parents 50th Anniversary they did not disappoint and on time !!!! Food was hot and fresh. Recommend to anyone who needs catering.
Great sandwich! Staff is very friendly. Thanks
If you want the best veal of your life , look no further!!!
On April 15 we used California Sandwiches and catering service as our venue for our daughter-in-laws baby shower. The staff was fantastic, they helped with everything. They were very kind and were right there for me and our guests if we needed anything. The food was hot, delicious and more then enough, the atmosphere very relaxing. As regular customers we knew they would be fantastic. Thank you so much Johnny, Sam and the two lovely ladies that made it stress free.
Amazing quality sandwiches! Zero complaints.
Great sandwiches and the staff are always friendly
California Sandwich is the best. If you want a filling meal during lunch at work this is the spot. Many menu optoons, toppings and seating. Great service, this location was very clean and staff sanitised regularly. The location also has decent seating for social distancing. Great staff, kitchen is run like a true italian kitchen; professional and lively!
Classic deliciousness! This is our favourite place to pick up a strong lunch if we don't feel like cooking. Friendly staff and freshly made, great food goes a long way to make this place more of a restaurant and less of a fast food place.
Great food. Consistently excellent.
The best veal sandwiches by far in the area
My favourite sandwich place ever, Best service ever, Staff are amazing and very friendly. Good job guys????????????
California sandwiches are simply the very best whether it's chicken veal or meatballs I grew up in Toronto 2 blocks from the original location and have enjoyed their sandwiches for years the staff is simply amazing their sandwiches is a meal the business is a great successful story
Good sandwich for the money
Fantastic experience, best veal sandwich and you can have a beer! Can't wait to come back!
Super friendly employees. Amazing food. Always get what you expect. Everyone should try a sandwich from here.
Good quality food and quantity for the price. Definitely worth a visit
Great service & always an AMAZING VEAL !!! I highly recommend this place if you're in the Burlington area .
Best sandwiches in town. Clean and organized location that never fails to disappoint
Amazing sandwiches!
The staff at this location are always super friendly and the veal sandwiches are the best I've ever had!
Great sandwiches, olives are fresh. Staff are friendly and quick, even late at night.
Beautiful sandwiches
The food and service was exceptiinal. I definitely will return
Great sandwiches that will more than fill you up. Enjoy.
Great selection of sandwiches all reasonably priced.
Good staff but to much filler in there meatball sandwitch . to much bread crumbs not enough meat
Only ever had their veal and olives. Both are great. I highly recommend getting sauce on the side if u plan to eat your veal at home. Otherwise it'll be soggy. You're welcome! ;)
Huge portions, tasty Italian sandwich. The eggplant and veal are great!
My bun is usually soggy. I was told from another patron that it's part of the charm, so I guess I'm supposed to like it.
Best franchise Italian veal Sandwich. Don't expect anything beyond that, (don't know why one would) and you'll be totally satisfied.
Fast, friendly service and food was amazing.
Delicious chicken sandwiches. The sauce was perfect and the jalapeno peppers were great on my hot chicken sandwiches. Sam is always so nice. I used to go to the California Sandwiches for lunch in Etobicoke 17 yrs ago when i was working in the area and Sam was there and he remembered me when I came to this location (after so many years! ????????). Genuine appreciation for customers. That's awesome. The owners at this location have got it right!! That's great to see these days when many companies fall short on good customer service. This place is 10 stars!
The Best Veal Sandwhich anywhere. Been to all there locations and watched them grow. Their food was a hit from day one.
Always get the chicken sandwich. Never disappointed.
Always fantastic.... Great food always and owned by a fantastic family
Great sandwiches and good service. Wish it was a little quicker but always worth the wait.
I was really disappointed at their spice level. I always order an extra hot veal and what I get is medium spice. The peppers are only in one or two bites and the rest of the sandwich has no heat. I noticed they sell jars of their peppers, so now I'm thinking they want me to buy a jar to get a real extra spicy sandwich. I prefer the locations in Toronto where they actually make an extra hot veal extra hot. So disappointed and wont be buying here again. At first I thought it was a one off, but I gave them a few tries to no avail. Re: I understand that it is about how many peppers put on the sandwich. What I'm trying to get across is that not enough peppers are put on an extra hot with veal.The peppers were spicy but there was barely any on though. UPDATE: I went back and ordered an extra hot veal and peppers on the side too. I had to PAY for the spice on the side. So there we have it. I'm now paying for extra spice level at this location. Back to 1 star.
I would say you can't go wrong. Simply delicious.
The best veal sandwiches in town.
absolutely terrible lunch service today. i have never waited so long for a veal sandwich. waited 30 minutes for my sandwich today. after todays service i will not recommend California Sandwiches burlington location. Good Food, terrible service.
I’m in compleat shock!!! I drive from Hamilton Saturday Oct 10 at 6pm just to enjoy this delicious sandwich.. and it was delicious BUT I decided to get FRIES and for $3.10 I got a SMALL hand full... I was in shock This place goes over and above to make a delicious sandwich and usually very generous and it’s portion And yet they CHEAP out on something as simple and LOW cost fries... it’s sad to see!! Wish I could post the picture of the few fries I got but it’s not letting me upload...
Food is always top notch and the staff are always very friendly and truly care to make sure your experience is a good one.
Amazing place, nice people and delicious food
Meal type

Outstanding customer service. Staff was very professional and friendly and took extra care to make sure my sandwich did not contain any dairy due to my lactose intolerance. Sauce was made fresh from scratch to accommodate. Quality and portion size were both very good, and prices are reasonable. Orders can take a while because they're made fresh, so budget your time. Definitely worth the wait.
Better than the west Mississauga location.
The food is great but they definitely make you wait for it
Nice generously filled sandwiches
Always fresh and great tasting, so filling too! The food is great and the staff are attentive and friendly. We have been going for many years and have never been disappointed, except when they are closed!
I love the sandwiches from this place. The service is okay, not too bad I find. Tips here is optional so not sure what people are complaining about. Sandwiches not the healthiest but when I buy the regular sandwich, that is all I have for the day so it is okay. Very tasty!
Really nice staff and delicious food.
I went today for my first time, I bought a deluxe veal sandwich.. Big disappointment, too salty, sauce it's not homemade( I know the difference) small amount of toppings( barely any tomatoes) and breading very cheap... I personally rate those sandwich worth no more than dollar...I do not reccomend at all... You can get better sandwich for less.. That's a fact..
Delicious as always however today really lacked presentation. Even the back of the wrapper was a disaster.
The grilled veg sandwiches and eggplant sandwiches are superb !! Very fresh ingredients used and the spice level was just perfect!! Highly recommended!!
Amazing sandwiches. Only criticism is that the onions were a bit undercooked. But otherwise, delicious!
