Nailed It! - Edit
Everything was good, only think I didn’t care about was the vegan bacon. When I went vegan I wasn’t looking for a alternative and I still don’t. The tofu needed a little bit more seasoning but overall I’ll happily return to eat more.

The best deli food! - Edit
Butcher’s Son has an incredible selection of sandwiches and other deli foods that use their own house-made meats and cheeses. Classic sandwiches are all represented, along with excellent starters and sides (like fried mozzarella, potato salad, Caesar salad, etc.)
Read morePricing is a bit on the high side but worth it for how good everything tastes.
Pros: Best deli-style sandwiches in the Bay Area, House-made meats and cheeses
Cons: A little expensive

amazing vegan sandwiches! - Edit
This place is amazing! I get something different every time I go, and so far everything has been delicious. The portion sizes are huge. Even my non-veg parents love it. I can’t help but notice they stopped offering their potato salad and macaroni salad as a complimentary side, but I won’t take off a star because I know a lot of restaurants have been spread thin budget-wise during COVID.

Favorite restaurant! - Edit
We are full-time RVers, for the past 7 years, that have traveled extensively throughout the lower 48. We have ate at hundreds of vegan restaurants while traveling. The Butcher's Son is our favorite. Our last visit, in January, we ordered 6 sandwiches between my husband and I because they are THAT good. Hands down the best vegan bacon you will ever have!
Read morePros: Delicious macaroni salad , The best bacon, period.
Cons: None

Not healthy but who cares? - Edit
Honestly the mozzarella is better than real cheese. I don’t like macaroni salad but I like THEIR macaroni salad. For the ultimate indulgence I go to The Butcher’s Son.

Vegan Deli - Edit
Order online on their website or through Doordash. Order items as it were a normal butcher/deli but everything is vegan! I love their vegan mozzarella cheese, vegan mozzarella sticks, their vegan BACON OMG!! probably best bacon I've had. Love their buffalo chicken and Something Fishy (they taste like gator bites if you've had them!). Lots of goodness here!!

delightful, delicious deli food - Edit
Perhaps I'm accustomed to vendors with lone vegan options, but their menu feels vast! There's a wide range of sandwiches and salads, a mini market with refrigerated and dry goods, and a brunch menu that boasts donut-stuffed pancakes and a fried chicken bagelwich. Their portions are huge, it's pricy, and lines can be long, so it's best enjoyed as an occasional treat.

One of the best vegan restaurants in the area - Edit
This is my favorite "unhealthy" vegan food in the bay. It's hard to find good vegan cheesecake but The Butcher's Son hits the nail on the head. The portions are large and worth every penny. I highly recommend coming here, I would eat here every day if I could. My favorite menu items are the meatball sub, cannoli, and of course the cheesecake.

There are healthy options here - YAY! - Edit
We went to The Butcher’s Son - a vegan delicatessen and bakery. This place is always mentioned in YouTube videos and blogs. Initially I wasn’t that keen as the dishes didn’t look that healthy, but at the end of the meal, I was happy we ate there.
Read moreWe had:
1. Steak Banh Mi USD13.50
Side dish: Bacon Macaroni Salad
2. Reuben USD13.25
Side dish: Potato Salad
3. RAW Juice USD7.50
Carrie got a cookie, salad and ehm..I can’t remember ;)
Portions were huge, the food was so flavoursome and appealing. Yes, I would recommend this place. You can have the “Something Healthy” salad if you’re looking for something with raw elements. There’s also LOADS of vegan grab n go items too.
Pros: 100% vegan, Good selection, Healthy options available

Good but messy food - Edit
The food is good here but everything is so big and messy and doesn’t seem to stay together so it takes some of the enjoyment out of eating. It definitely feels you up though.

I love The Butcher’s Son - Edit
I can’t really say much other than you need to go here and experience the food for yourself. Amazing food I always make an effort to get when I have an opportunity to do so. The killer blat is my favorite but of course I love adding on so many more items to the classic version. It doesn’t get much better than this!
