My dad and I are always looking for a good French dip and I found one while having lunch with friends at Papa Duke's in Poway. Large sandwich, good bread and tons of good roast beef that was lean and not any grissle. I asked for horseradish and additional au jus. Staff is very pleasant. Parking is limited at lunchtime.

We’ve been wanting to try this place for weeks and we finally had some time on the weekend to stop by. Parking was easy and the employees were super helpful and just happy to be there. Food was amazing. We’ve had a few sandwiches and a few types of pizza, all delicious. We’ve been there 2 weekends in a row now, and I have a feeling it will be our normal weekend spot.

What a fantastic dinner! We were celebrating a promotion and wanted somewhere special — this restaurant delivered. The crab cakes were crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful inside. I had the duck breast, which was juicy with a delicious glaze. The desserts were also excellent — try the crème brûlée! Prices reflect the quality. Totally worth it.

Nice place with a good variety on the menu. We tried the pasta and grilled chicken — both were delicious. Service was a bit slow, but the staff were polite. Would come back again.
Great family run business. Friendly and very welcoming. Tasty options.

This is a MUST visit for anyone in Poway! As someone who moved from NJ to CA this is the *only* spot i know of to get a sandwich with Taylor ham and the pizza from here is excellent. I plan to bring all my friends here and spread the word this deli is fantastic. And as if that wasn't good enough the owner, Ron, was such a nice guy made us feel welcomed right away.
Can not recommend this spot enough! Get the pizza and Taylor ham!!

I showed up to his store an hour before he closed and he turned me away at the door with an attitude because he wanted to leave. And this did happen, I love how his response to every bad review is, "it didn't happen." Maybe he's just to old and doesn't remember.
Pretty dang good
