Ordered the turkey club from the older gentleman. He was exactly as friendly as I would expect. Did he ask me how my day was or what my plans were for the week? No. But why would I expect that from a deli guy where my interaction with him is going to be 40 seconds? Not sure why some people felt this person is unfriendly he seems like every deli person who’s taken my order that I’ve experienced. Nice, not mean and to the point.

Anywho back to the sandwich. The turkey club was awesome! A huge sandwich that could’ve been split between two if you wanted. All ingredients tasted fresh! The crunch of the bacon was perfect - not over cooked where it might break a tooth and not undercooked. I prefer wheat bread so ordered the sandwich on that - bread was fresh and delicious.

Defintely coming back and recommending to everyone I know who won’t be offended when the older guy doesn’t engage in unnecessary banter.

Like most small businesses in this area the gentleman that’s runs the place is so unfriendly it appears he’d prefer you didn’t come in at all. Couldn’t even get him to tell me my total owed, I had to guess. Retire and be happy sir you clearly hate this job.

My husband and I shared the pastrami sandwich and it was amazing. Firstly, it was huge. We also got the turkey bacon and avocado but had to save it for later because we were so full. Don't judge a book by its cover because this place ain't fancy at all but the food is really good. Skip the franchise and go here!

The lunch spot for the well seasoned. Try the chicken salad sandwich with everything. Cigar smoking old guys and dogs, cool spot.

Great turkey bacon avocado sandwich

Great sandwiches. Seriously. They do not make normal sandwiches. If you like normal food you will be confused by the awesome.

I had the pastrami sandwich. It was way better then Stars and Stripes which is down the street.

Great lil deli to hop off the boat and grab some awesome sammys! We always get the jumbo sub w/everything. LOVE the classic crusty sub roll! Don't forget to snag some deviled eggs! Excellent!! You can get your boat gassed up while waiting, too.
