Awesome sandwiches they make. When you see it, it will make you think is it actually a sandwich or not :D. This place is newly renovated. Has ping pong table while you wait for your sandwich. Recommended.
Still as Good as it was in the 70's till the 90's when we use to go there to Pick up Sandwiches for the guys at the Police Station. Would Recommend this one at the Claremont and The Queensway any time. Great Sandwiches.
Out of all the locations, this one is the best by far! I say their portions are bigger at this location. It all started from this location and It's always busy here and you'll often see the line go out the door. It's cash only but they do have an ATM available. Also don't use your cell phone when you're placing your order, they hate that. You'll get messy while eating the sandwich but it's so good that you won't care. I usually get the Chicken but the Veal is pretty top notch too!
Used to go to the one on the queensway when I worked by it, as amazing as I remembered when I lived in Toronto before, best veal sandwich on the planet I think !
This is the original and it's the best! A little expensive for what you get and they've sure figured out how to make the veal go a long way by hammering so thin you can see through it. But the amazing sauce makes this sandwich as wonderful mess that you just have to have.
One of my favorite places to get a veal sandwich. This place is the original California Sandwich shop and never disappoints. MUST TRY! I added cheese and mushrooms ;)
What a great California sandwich location! I've tried a few others elsewhere in the GTA but nothing beats this one (so far!) I cannot tell you exactly how and why this location is THAT much better than their other locations but it just is! My to-go-to sandwich is the Veal with sweet sauce and cheese. Simple and delicious. the place is tiny and very random in a strange way. Don't let the exterior or interior fool you because they make a killer sandwich and it will sure fill you up! No matter how many times I go there, they will always blow my socks off! Can't wait for my next visit!
Best veal on a bun in T.O.. Try Claremont street or many other location s.. The one on Warden /Eglinton is awesome ... sells the sauce too by the jar...awesome on pasta.
Veal, chicken, meatball, sausage, and more.
Basic, simple, good.
This is a little hole serving Torontonians for a generation or more.
Don't come here for impeccable customer service (these folks are southern Italian background, like myself) we are not known for etiquette and class, if you get over this and be patient at the ordering system. You'll love the sandwich. I've been to many other locations. The consensus is that this original location is still the best one, for food. Be prepared to wait, yes even if you call ahead. There's room for improvement, but not on the food. They are all family owned so chances are you'll get similar service at any location. I believe they could definitely improve customer service by training the staff with some basic skills. Hasn't changed since the '70s.
Great food!. The original and still the best of the California Sandwiches restaurants. There's always a lineup here, and for good reason. The sandwiches are huge and hot and consistently great. Well worth a visit even if you have to drive from a long way away.
