Most of the food is actually pretty good unfortunately the price is almost prohibitively expensive and they often don’t know what’s on their menu

Excellent sandwiches and salads. Food quantity will fill you up, you can always take leftovers home to eat later! Service is superb! Great to support a Veteran owned business at all time. Will continue to visit when in the area and hungry!

These are the best deli sandwiches in town. I usually get the turkey, but one day I picked up a few pastrami sandwiches for my mechanic and crew. They raved about them and said they were some of the best sandwiches they ever had.

I requested a special version of their vegetarian sandwich. I added the hot mushrooms and peppers with the melted mozzarella and wow it’s amazing.

The cashier was kind of rude when I was ordering also she just threw banana bread on the counter while I had my hand up. Not coming back there anymore.

The sandwiches are very good. The prices were too high for what I had.

Save your money and go to Jersey Mikes. First and last time going to this store. It’s cool that it’s local but that doesn’t mean charge an arm and leg for a little sandwich. On top of that they don’t even make sure everything is there what you ordered, so do yourself the favor and check.

Here has been my experience with Desert Deli:
-I have ordered from here 5 times since 08/14/25 and always get the same order - a phantom Italian, dry, with only meat, cheese, and lettuce for toppings.
-3 out of the 5 orders were prepared incorrectly, adding condiments, and required remaking. This happens often enough on previous work trips to the area that I generally check the order before leaving and will just ask them to remake before leaving if an issue is found.
-Today, I got the same order and everything appeared ok and I left to go back to work, but after taking a few bites it became apparent that they had added some sort of condiment and after inspecting the bread, it looks as though they just tried to scrape it off instead of getting new bread, leaving behind a flavorful residue. I can understand being lazy and wanting to save costs but I don't need to appreciate it making my $20 sandwich taste bad.
It has gotten old having to ask them to regularly correct an order that is relatively simple. Throwing out half of a $20 sandwich is lame and the food isn't THAT much better here than at Jersey Mike's, I will be avoiding in the future unless I have time to wait for the order to made twice, not something for a quick lunch break pickup for sure.
Outside of the orders being made incorrectly 60% of the time, they also struggle with efficiently managing the pickup orders, requiring everyone to wait in line behind people placing orders instead of arranging a pickup area or 2nd line option to expedite orders to go.
I ordered a Phantom Italian and paid 4 dollars more for extra meat and they sent it with less than usual.

Ordered a hot pastrami and it was the best one I've ever had! $30 for a combo is a little pricy but it was delicious and i will definitely be eating here more often.

Desert deli is a veteran own business and I love supporting all of our veterans so I decided to stop and try this deli out and I was not disappointed. It’s a very friendly staff. I was greeted as soon as I came in. I ultimately decided to get the special of the day which was a meatball sandwich and it was phenomenal. The bread was crispy fluffy and the meatballs were a perfect ratio and a perfect mix with marinara sauce and cheese. I highly recommend their meatball sub. I promise you you will not be disappointed. Every day of the week there is a special on a certain sandwich so that any time you can’t decide what to get. Just stop in and get the sandwich of the day. They also serve boar heads meat and cheese, which is a very high-quality meat and cheese that takes all sandwiches on a different level. I highly recommend this place and I can’t wait to try all of the other sandwiches.

Let me be clear when I say the owners are what disappointed me not the staff. Girl up front cute red head super sweet so helpful the young man in the back with long hair was extremely sweet as well. I ordered 1 sandwich and my friend ordered hers then a family behind us ordered. They had several sandwiches. So I got to wait 30 min for one sandwich because the owner knew the ppl behind us so they got their food first. she went out of her way to give them theirs first. Being in the service industry for as long as I have I know how unfair that is. Every customer should be treated the same. The blonde owner of dessert deli should really learn how ticket timing works.
