I’ll start by saying this: it was a good sandwich, but by no means is it great. I don’t agree with the countless “Best of” lists that say the corned beef is the best sandwich in San Francisco.
It’s a take out counter that moves fast but is still amazingly friendly. I ordered their famous corned beef sandwich with cabbage, russian dressing and melted gruyere on housemade foccacia. Perhaps it was the foccacia that lost me. I’m not a fan since it was a bit of a greasy mess. I would’ve preferred it on some other type of bread that didn’t compete so much with the other elements of the sandwich. I did like the crisp fresh texture of the cabbage, and the meat was tender, but it wasn’t buttery like corned beef should be.
Granted, I haven’t yet tried the roast beef sammie, which people say is also damn tasty. But I would easily take a sandwich at Naked Lunch (YUM!) over another one here. Plus, it’s overpriced at $8.75 a pop.
