Tummy Stuffer

Tummy Stuffer

Tummy Stuffer is a small "mom-and-pop" fast service sandwich shop. It's located on Seventeenth Street in Costa Mesa between Newport and Irvine Blvd. It's directly across the street from the Von's market.

I heard about Tummy Stuffer from a friend who regularly goes there for lunch and decided to try it out. Tummy Stuffer is located in a little strip mall. If you come at noon, be prepared to hunt for parking though. The decor at Tummy Stuffer is pretty bare bones. There's a counter, a few tables, and photos of some of their sandwiches. There is a large menu board next to the counter. I was tempted to try a sandwich that looked like a pepperoni pizza, but I decided on pastrami with bacon and cheese. My friend ordered a pastrami and cheese with the works. Our total bill for 2 sandwiches, 2 bags of chips, and drinks was $14.

We sat at a table by the back corner and waited for our food, which took about 10 minutes. We picked up our orders at the counter and sat back down to eat. My friend's pastrami and cheese with the works had pickles, onions, provolone cheese, gourmet mustard (as opposed to yellow mustard) in it. He said it was pretty good.

My pastrami and cheese with bacon had provolone cheese, onions, and yellow mustard. I enjoyed my sandwich. The pastrami was nice and warm, there wasn't too much fat on the pastrami. The yellow mustard made the pastrami a bit sour for me, but nothing really to complain about.

By the time we were finished eating our sandwiches, it was noon. The lunchtime crowd had grown pretty big and you could also see that people were busy driving around the parking lot looking for empty parking spaces.

While I enjoyed the sandwich, it wasn't anything special. I am curious about some of the other sandwiches, such as the pizza omelet though. If you want a fairly good sandwich for a quick and easy lunch, I'd give Tummy Stuffer a try. If you're looking for something more gourmet, there are other places.
