The Sentinel
37 New Montgomery St, San Francisco, CA
Crema's Take
“The Sentinel is a beloved sandwich destination where exceptional bread is the foundation for inventive combinations like mortadella mozzarella with pumpkin pesto and perfectly executed roast beef with pickled red onions and horseradish cream cheese. The corner spot radiates genuine warmth through attentive staff and an aroma so enticing it draws people in off the street, making it equally perfect for a quick quality grab or lingering over coffee with friends. While opinions on specific sandwiches vary, the consensus is clear: this is where San Francisco comes for bread-forward, flavor-forward food that justifies the price and the return visits.”

Tried the lamb and eggplant sandwich; it costs $16 and it tastes strange (I.e. not good). Heard good things about the short rib and roasted beef sandwich. Will try next time.
Best sandwich I’ve had in SF! I’m coming back to try everything on the menu. I love sandwiches, and the best ingredient in a great sandwich is the bread. This spot has bread to die for. The spicy pork loin was glorious. They even threw in a loaf of cinnamon bread as well as a chocolate mint 👌🏼Chef’s kiss
A corner for a flavor and good Aroma! I ordered a beef sandwich here at this location and the service quality and the people that work here are very incredible, I couldn’t ask for more this actually got me very excited and the sandwich was extremely delicious highly recommended to all of your people that want something fast and cheap at the same time!
Favorite sandwich place in the city. Pictured is the mortadella mozzarella pumpkin pesto. It was very amazing. Usually I get the roast beef. It has these pickled red onions and horseradish creamcheese. I want one now. But next ime I'm getting the corn beef, it looks like it's on foccacia, with swiss cheese and Russian dressing. ALSO awesome thin pickles you can grab and eat with your sandwich. I'm very impressed with the pickles.
Wow! They put the Deli in DELI-CIOUS! I finally decided to stop by at this wonderful place after passing by it so many times and smelling the enticing food that just tingles the taste bud senses. No regrets! I order the corn beef sandwich and paired it with a watermelon-lemonade drink (I believe it was called watermade or something like that). The drink itself had fresh watermelon juice and lemon juice. Simple, yet refreshing on a warm day. As for the sandwich itself it comes out fast! Like Jimmy John's can't touch them fast (could be pre-made, but you won't know the difference). The bread was perfectly toasted and the Russian dressing added a good tang to it. The swiss cheese was melted perfectly and the corn beef was tender and flavorful. Kind of like a cuban sandwich. Or as Raj said in Big Bang theory, "Sweety and meaty!" They also provide a slice of pickle and to top it off an Andes mint chocolate! Price: $15 ish for Sandwich and drink.
