If you’re looking for a humble small town sandwich shop that’ll knock your boots off as you travel hwy 1 then this is the place to be!!! Amazing indoor and outdoor atmosphere and quality ingredients that are prepared daily. I was recommended this place by a friend who grew up here and his recommendation did not disappoint. The pastrami is to die for and induces a hallucinogenic effect as I was brought back to the cured meats I grew up on in the southern US.

Reviewing the downstairs deli - not the hotel (never stayed there). Their soups and sandwiches are excellent. The bread is absolutely delicious, our favorite is walnut and olive but we like all of them. Sandwiches are fresh and healthy. Two different soups every weekend, we have tried a lot, great variety and taste like home made. Very competitive prices especially for the zip code. Appreciate earth friendly 100% compostable take out packaging including utensils. Highly recommend this place, hubby and I keep coming back every weekend. Thank you!

This is a beautiful place I've been coming here to get sandwiches since I was the child they also make fresh bread You have to get there early enough to get it it sells out fast all their sandwich breads are freshly baked everything is gathered the produce is from local farms if you're in the Bay area or in the coast stop and try this place.

We went to the deli. It is a small place, but their sandwiches are fantastic! I got the ham and salami with jack cheese on French bread and the potato salad. I was not expecting the French bread to be like sliced bread, but it was even better. The potato salad was simple but tasty. We will definitely new back.

Excellent sandwiches and soup, basis being fresh great bread.
Got the olive walnut with pastrami (Boars head) with a butternut squash soup.
The side wheat bread was also delicious and nutty.

Their pastrami sandwich is a journey for your taste buds, with layers of succulent pastrami and an array of vibrant and fresh toppings dancing in a field of flavor. The melt-in-your-mouth pastrami harmonizes perfectly with the crunchy veggies and tangy sauce, creating a symphony of tastes. ~chill~ vibes and laid-back ambiance at San Benito House Deli. Peace, love, and pastrami, my fellow food adventurer.

Best bread in town, best sandwiches in town. A must-do stop if you’re in HMB. Prices have gone up (now close to $12 after tax for a sandwich) but worth every penny. The line might be out the door, but it’s worth the wait. Note: the line for the deli is separate than the line for the bar/restaurant (and is much better:)

If you're looking for a tasty bite when in Half Moon Bay, check out San Benito House's sandwich counter, facing their patio. We had this delicious turkey sandwich and pastrami sandwich on their homemade, fresh that day wheat bread. That bread is crazy good. Nice patio where you can relax.

If you get here for lunch... get here early and get in line.
Good sandwiches. The pastrami is served hot and its really tender. What is good is the bread... the bread is made fresh and it taste that way. Crust is crusty and the middlen is light and airy. The wheat bread has a very bold crust.

I always come here when I‘m visiting the bay area. The sandwiches are great as well as the cookies. Quite often someone is busking in the garden.

San Benito House is our go-to place whenever we are in HMB. They always have a great selection of local beers and the patio & garden in the back are always a fun and lively place to hang out in the afternoon. The restaurant food is decent but the on-site deli is awesome (if you don’t mind standing in the queue for 15-30 min, because there is always a line at least on weekends). Staff is super friendly and helpful. Great place to meet up with friends and hangout for a couple hours on a weekend afternoon!

Came here on a Monday afternoon from SF and were in & out in under 5 minutes. The sandwiches are delicious, seriously one of the beat pastrami sandos I've ever had. I ordered the olive & walnut bread and it was soft, moist, flavorful. Absolutely amazing. Considering inflation and prices nowadays, the cost of the sandwich seems fair, especially for home made bread.

Seriously, it's the bread. And I would say it's one of those places- like iykyk, but I feel like it's not a big secret and partly I think it's the nostalgia. But their food is good. Yeah, it's a bit $$ but it's also HMB, everything is $$. I pretty much get the same thing every time, ham, jack, french bread, no onion, we typically get the soup too, and share it. I've never had a complaint, it's tasty, it's consistent, and the line should speak volumes of their quality. We will come here until it's not here anymore, but hopefully, that time doesn't come in my lifetime. This time around we brought our almost 1-year-old for the first time, the soup and the bread were a hit with her, too. ????

Amazing fresh and homemade bread, great options and a big hearty sandwich. Couldn't ask for more. A must visit if you are in Half Moon Bay.

Sandwiches are really good here. Approachable sized menu - basically pick your bread (the olive walnut bread is amazing) choose your meat and cheese and it automatically comes with lettuce tomato pickles mayo mustard onion. Perfect sandwich to enjoy outside on the picnic benches.

Great sandwiches, they bake their own bread. Prepared salads are good also. Friendly people. We enjoyed it
