Stopped in today with my wife for lunch. My wife and I both had a roast beef sandwich and shared a half order onion rings. The meat was tender and the sauce to die for. Half order of rings were more than the two of us could eat. Big Jim gave the suggestion to mix the horseradish with ketchup for a tasty sauce for our onion rings. Spot on . I will definitely be returning. I strongly urge any and all to visit Big Jim's Roast Beef!

Big Jim’s Roast Beef is the real deal. I ordered the Super Beef and it was unreal — piled high with perfectly tender roast beef, juicy, flavorful, and stacked on a fresh roll that held everything together just right. Every bite hit. No shortcuts, no skimpy portions, just straight-up quality. You can tell they care about what they’re putting out. Fast service, friendly vibes, and food that lives up to the hype. If you’re even thinking about getting roast beef in San Diego, this is the spot. I’ll be back for sure — and probably getting the Super Beef again. 🔥🥩

Came in tonight for the Gobbler and a Super Beef! Hot Dang! That Gobbler is incredible!! a super hot side of green bean brown gravy to smother on the sandwich. The turkey mash croquette is perfectly crispy. I burned the roof of my mouth multiple times, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. This sando is an all timer!! Get it before 11/30

Recommended by a foodie, Big Jim’s served up a delicious, large roast beef sandwich. Their roast beef was so tender and such a match with their bbq (not too sweet) and horseradish (slight heat) sauces. The roast beef was sliced in a thick, compressed stack - when taking bites out of the sandwich, the texture kept reminding me of a soft filet. The onion bun was soft and rounded out the sandwich. The half order of onion rings was HUGE.

We placed an order of 25 sandwiches for pick up at noon. They were ready at noon! On time! No waiting. We ordered 2 orders of onion rings, they are made fresh. The owner Jim made them himself. The Super Beef is super delicious, lots of meeting. Their sauces are spicy so would recommend to get all sauces on the side if you can’t handle spicy. This place is amazing. Chris and Jim are the best.
