Prunedale Market & Deli - Salinas - Photo album

Owner is super nice and offered us a bunch of free stuff. Bring cash as there's no ATM/credit card on site. Safeway is the closest place to get cash. The ribs were amazing quality especially for a small business. Would definitely return.

The “BEST BBQ” sign outside is not a gimmick. I’ve had a lot of amazing food experiences, but I only leave reviews for places that I believe are top quality. Prunedale Market & Deli has THE BEST sandwiches and soups around. Forget Subway, Panera, and the other junky quick eats. For whatever reason

Truly, fall off the bone pork ribs! I was skeptical at first, but boy did he prove me wrong. Smoky, tender, and a delicious dipping sauce. The clam chowder is not to be missed. I will be a regular on Fridays when it has served.

Must stop for an awesome BBQ. Yes, it is in a neighborhood, yes, it looks like a mini Mart. But don't let that stop you. We had ribs, tri-tip and he threw in a sausage and a piece of chicken. We walked out of there with a ton of meat for a really good price!

If I could give this place six stars I would. GREAT BBQ tri-tip sandwich. Off the charts! You drive down this residential street and think this can’t be right... it is. Trust your GPS. The place is cheap, but CASH ONLY... and yes, it’s fantastic. So good! Insanely good. Needless to say, I highly rec

Owner is a great guy. Our family tries to buy meals from him atleast once every other week. If you're looking for killer bbq at a reasonable price this is the only place you should go.

The rest of the reviews say it all. Extremely friendly service, delicious sandwiches, amazing soup. Seriously, the best clam chowder I've ever had. 6/5 stars - would recommend.
