JJ's Market & Deli

JJ's Market & Deli is a neighborhood grocery with a full-service deli, known for its Santa Maria style oak wood BBQ pit, which cooks Choice beef tri-tip, pork baby back ribs and half chickens most days, weather permitting. The deli also slices Boar's Head meats and cheeses to order and makes specialty sandwiches, salads and side dishes, and the store carries fresh produce, a meat and seafood counter, a bakery with custom cakes, and a large selection of local and imported wine, spirits and micro-brews.

The BBQ lineup sells out, so calling ahead to reserve is recommended. Deli orders can be placed by phone, and the service deli stays open later than the store, until 7:30 pm. The market sits in the Craig Center on Arroyo Grande Mesa, in Palo Mesa Village on Halcyon Road.
