The word "famous" in the name is actually warranted at Huckleberry’s Famous Sandwiches in Huntington Beach. The humble exterior of this family-owned eatery evokes an old-fashioned mom-and-pop shop, but it’s the delicious sandwiches and their fresh, flavorful toppings that truly made this place famous among local residents.

 It all starts with the bread, which is the basic building block of any great sandwich. Huckleberry uses only high-quality, locally made breads, buns, and rolls for its sandwiches. The most popular options are the cold Huckleberry Club and the Hot Chicken Breast Sub. The Broaster Fried Chicken is the true star of the show here; it’s available in two-piece combo meals if you’re just stopping by for lunch, or 24- to 60-piece party packages for catered events.
