While passing through we found this spot on Yelp. We were really happy with our choice. We had the Cuban and the spicy chicken sandwiches. Bread was toasted and sandwiches made fresh. We noticed while we ate it must be a locals place as well, because everyone that came in the owner knew. The owner is super nice and friendly. Highly recommend this spot and will stop by again if in the area.

I just had the best Cubano ever! We're traveling through, and the owner was extremely helpful and kind. The food was also incredible!

If "you can't sit with us" was a person it would be Debbie! I was completely appalled with the response I received after having to answer about 15 questions asking what type of services are we looking for from them. Then way at the bottom you asked what is our budget and what are we willing to spend for food. And when we give you our budget you turn us away with a nasty nice message basically saying sorry unfortunately we can't accommodate you but thank you for reaching out to us though! Well shit put what you charge on your website then and don't have people answering questions where you turn them away!

We had Forks and Fingers cater our wedding! Debbie DeGeorge was amazing. We also didn't hire a wedding planner. Debbie provided us with lots of great input prior to the wedding. Debbie is friendly, knowledgeable, hard working, compassionate, fun, and just an all around wonderful person. She made sure we ate during the reception and even took a few great candid shots of us.

I felt she had everything under control. I almost forgot to mention the food! Everything thing was so tasty, wonderfully prepared, and presented. They have all of our future business.

I'm not sure why this place is rated SO high. I can speak to the catering but grabbed a basic sandwich. I asked for everything on a hot pastrami with Swiss. Easy right? Wrong. Got a sandwich w meat cheese and nothing else. Pastrami tasted a little weird and like bacon? Also I was annoyed that the man who was supposed to be o be making my sandwich walked away into the back? Woman ringing me up didn't even say thank you. Skip this place and go to Michael's

Don't let this sloppy looking sandwich fool you! I ordered the 1/2 & 1/2 (BLT & soup). The BLT had enough bacon for a full sandwich. The lettuce & tomatoes were super fresh and crisp. The cream of broccoli was really good. Some places are a little heavy (in my opinion) when it comes to the consistency. This soup was perfect. The pasta was complimentary and pretty good.

I wasn't able to finish it though. I ate this for lunch and was full for the rest of the day. It was only $6.75! Going to give em another shot to see what else they make taste delicious. Their beverage selection is pretty decent with lots random options. They also have a condiment area which is cool if you're an extra mayo kinda person. The staff are down to earth and have a sense of humor. Good lunch spot!

Debbie and her staff are wonderful. From planning our wedding menu, the tasting experience, the days leading up to the wedding and on the day of, Debbie nailed everything. Incredibly attentive and accommodating throughout the whole process. Even during the reception she personally brought my wife and I our food, nabbed bottles of wine for our tables, and ensured the desserts were handled smoothly.

The guests had rave reviews for the stuffed mushrooms, bordeux butter on the steaks and the Thai salmon salad. Really, an overall breeze to work with. She goes above and beyond!

Debbie at Forks and Fingers catered our daughter's recent wedding. We did not employ a wedding planner. In addition to providing delicious food, tables, linens, plates, stemware, cutlery and bar service Debbie was a fountain of solid advice, reminders of things we had not considered and an all around angel. She was always cheerful, always available and supportive in every way.

The food was delicious, the service was efficient, the staff was pleasant, professional and unobtrusive. Dan the charming bartender remembered everyone's name and preferred drink after the first round. The venue owners remarked afterward that the clean up was superb, with nothing whatsoever left behind for them to deal with. I recommend Forks and Fingers food highly and Debbie without reservation. She went above and beyond the call of duty throughout the process and was a smiling tower of strength to us nervous parents. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Debbie catered our wedding in Oakland this October and she went above and beyond at every turn. She was a pleasure to work with, the food was super yummy, staff friendly, and she was always at the ready asking how to help! Plus she's fun as heck! She truly made our special event beautiful and completely seamless. Plus they are affordable! I can't give a high enough recommendation!

Forks and Fingers is a sweet little deli with an assortment of salads and sandwiches. My favorite is to mix and match their salads- 4 salads in one box. My favorite way to eat is "church potluck" so this reminds me of that. It is fun to have their Curry Chicken with Chinese Chicken Salad plus 2 other whatever looks good that day!

I love their food but it seems to be a less amount served with the salad plates the longer I go there. Understandable when it comes to cost saving but hard to spend $7.50 when it used to come with more food.

Awesome people work there and they have affordable prices! I love the vibe of the place :) They do have a 5 dollar minimum card purchase but honestly the prices are good there so normally if you went somewhere you would probably be spending that much money anyways but get less stuff. Overall, great place to grab a bite to eat and a drink :)

I am a wedding coordinator in the Bay Area and have worked with many caterers for large events. I recently worked with Debbie for a wedding and she was an absolute pleasure to work with! Responsive, flexible, timely, and just an all around FUN person to work long hours with! The food was incredible and had guests going back for seconds. Highly recommend them if you have an upcoming event!

Even though I have only been here a few times, the people that work in this place give me a family feeling. The food is great and the prices even greater! Once they didn't have a certain sandwich in stock, and came with different options I might've liked. And indeed I did. Love this place!

We had lunch and it was great. I had the 4 salad plate - greens with tomatoes and cucumbers, potato salad, fruit salad and penne pasta. Every one of the salads was delicious. My husband had the teriyaki chicken. It was tender morsels of fried chicken over rice. It was very good. A very friendly welcoming staff. We will be back.

I work right by it so I said great I'll have somewhere to go that's nearby, usually their food is good but I already got bad chicken twice, and finally the second time I got food poison sent home early from work. And when John the owner ask me to go back for he can refund my money or substitute my food, when I finally went he asked one of his workers what the hell does she want.

I'm very disappointed! Not only did I give them the benefit of the doubt once but twice. People pay attention to your chicken obviously they mix the old one with the new one trying to save them self money! And food poisoning us at the same time.

This WAS one my go to spots until today. Ignorant derogatory off color jokes heard more than once here, and i've been coming here for many years. Great food but after today good bye fork and fingers you will not be having me as a customer anymore. Chinese chicken salad ordered before and worker bows and says thank you to his regular customer in a pretend chinese accent.

Today customer orders chinese chicken salad and worker repeats order and says "Terriyaki sandwich and a chicken salad minus the corona virus." I even called the worker out and asked really your gonna go there. He looked away and not even an apology or anything. He served some food to a customer there waljed by and not a word. Remeber ive been coming here for years so he knows exactly who i am. SO If thats how you really feel, good bye. Two strikes and im not gonna wait for the third.

My perineal deli in Bel Marin keys, still keepin it real with tasty sandos salads and specialties every day. Fresh pastries and coffee also Racer 5 in the fridge. Pacific Sun Best of Marin for catering as well! My favorite is the Reuben with a nice pile of pastrami on marble rye. A side of tangy mac salad is a must. Dine in or outside for some vitamin D and enjoy the quality food at this Novato Chamber member valuable dining asset. Mangia

A great variety of salads with both vegetarian and meat options. Eat in or take away. Friendly service. Highly recommend this place for a healthy, value-for-money meal.

A diamond in the ruff! Located in what you would assume is purely an office building, you will be pleasantly surprised to find a superior quality deli with a fresh daily variety of offerings, at amazingly cheep prices! But the best part yet, is the wonderful staff of people who are extremely kind and efficient serving you! Always a delightful experience! Glad I decided to roll the dice and try, now it's my fave lunch spot!

Debbie is amazing! We had our wedding in Marin in Sept 2019, and from my first conversation with her, I knew that I made the right decision by booking Debbie! She was on the required vendor list at our venue and I'm so glad we made the right choice! Debbie was very responsive during the wedding planning process and went above and beyond for our cocktail hour.

We wanted waffles to be a part of our day and she made individual chicken and waffles with mini syrup syringes! The rest of food was delicious and everyone was full. I could not recommend Forks and Fingers enough - I would give her more than 5 stars if I could.

Cheerful folks behind the counter. Fresh made to order breakfasts and lunches, plus they do catering. Sandwiches, salads, soups, great breakfasts - as you can see by my California scramble, which has ham, bacon, tomatoes, red peppers, potatoes and cheese.

My (now) husband and I decided to take a chance on Forks and Fingers for our wedding rehearsal dinner catering after meeting with Debbie. I'm so glad we did! She was unpretentious, instinctively knew what we wanted, and was nice and communicative along the way. As for the food itself. SO DELICIOUS! We chose chicken breasts with roasted garlic, mushrooms, and spinach, rice pilaf, stuffed bell peppers (my favorite), and sauteed seasonal vegetables, plus some hors d'oeurvres.

We got so many compliments on the food! We had the food dropped off which saved us some money, but holy cow we've also had leftovers every day since and bags of leftovers in the freezer. We will never go hungry again!

They make a pretty good deli sandwich here with homemade bread don't short you on the meat and all sorts of great salads in the case ranging from potato salad to marinated veggies pasta salads, just good looking good tasting food. They have a special of the day this day it was garlic chicken in a creamy sauce with rice and it was excellent. Great place to stop for a bite there are a couple of tables outside. Near Gnoss Airport.

My experience: I work near the restaurant and have eaten there roughly 4 times. Attention to the details below were conducted each time The Food: Good Quality, Tasty, Reasonably priced The Location: Good Size, Acceptable decor The Staff: Friendly and welcoming Needs work: CLEANLINESS AND HYGEINE 1. Bare hands touching food. Didn't see hand washing (with soap) on any visit. Gloves really should be used since hands not washed.

Have personally seen owner exchange cash and proceed directly to making an order (sometimes giving fingertips a water rinse). 2. I'm a little concerned with the pans they reuse to for the conveyer oven. Melted cheese and stuff is on it but I noticed they were used for new orders. This restaurant is very decent and provides valuable (and delicious) food options for the area. My only concern is for the health of their patrons. I will consider eating there again, but only after changes to food handling and dishwashing procedures are made.

I love the sandwiches and for the most part, are pretty quick but when I phoned in an order, the woman that took the order never made the food. Once they realized their mistake, she got right on it but did she have to make 6 sandwiches by herself one at a time? Perhaps she could have enlisted some help since my order was so late and people at lunchtime are usually on the clock?

If they want, I can go to a restaurant supply store and get them some cloths so they could wipe down the surfaces every once in a while. I see grease everywhere, including the counter where food is picked up and all the tables. It would go a long way toward increasing the frequency of my visits. I love their sandwiches, as I said but there's a lot to be said for the issues I present.

This is my favorite sandwich spot in Novato. Not only is their service always top notch and speedy, but the staff is always welcoming and friendly. They are a locally owned and operated business and have top notch ingredients. Their breakfast plates with potatoes is incredible and cheap! Their large variety of salads and cold pastas really seals the deal!

You want Cesar? No prob, macaroni salad? They got you! Spinach with cranberries and walnuts? Say no more fam! With their excellent customer service and customizable options for sandwich salad combos I can't find a reason to eat anywhere else when I'm working in Novato!

Such a friendly place, with great food and excellent deals. Salad wise, my co-workers and I usually go for a "salad plate"; 1 protien salad eg. Chicken salad, egg salad, etc.and 3 pasta/veg/fruit salad, all for $5.50. If the salads in the case are low, you can't miss with any of there other full salads.especially the Southwest, which is packed with food. Of course, if not in the mood for a salad the specials, soups & sandwiches are delicious too.
