I've been a loyal customer of Garrison's Deli for months, especially for their Reubens, which were always excellent. The service and food quality kept me coming back.
Unfortunately, something has changed. Today, my order was wrong, and the Reuben was so sloppy I could hardly pick it up. Even worse, the new desserts in the cooler were moldy. I pointed this out to the gentleman behind the counter, and he did discard them, but it was still disappointing.
I'm not sure if there's new ownership or management, but the decline is clear. I won't be returning.

The food was delicious. Their phones were out because of an outage, but when we went to the store, they did our order for several people very quickly

hands down the best hoagie in the wilmington area

I had the pastrami and Swiss and it was only mediocre. The pastrami was very salty, rather flavorless, and had the rubbery texture of highly processed cheap grocery store deli meats. With the reviews of this place, I had high hopes but ended up being mostly disappointed.

Closest to a Philly breakfast sandwich I had in DE. They just never toast the roll on the grill even when I ask. The clubs and Rueben are also very good

As a native of South Philly, I can attest that Delaware delis don't hold a candle to Philly's, but Garrison's an exception. On my first order, their sandwiches and hoagies impressed - excellent bread, well-made, with great cheese, meat, and tuna. Definitely recommended.

Not really a sit and eat, you definitely can and there are tables and a TV. One of my new favorite breakfast sandwich spots.

We were in New Castle for a soccer game this weekend and came across Garrison Deli. We are so glad we found this deli. The best Reuben, Chicken salad, and Tuna salad sandwiches we have ever had. The store was very clean, had a wide variety of beverages, amazing food, and super friendly staff. We had a great conversation with one of the workers about soccer and told them we would definitely be back again next weekend. If you are ever in the area, do yourself a favor and stop in. I can’t talk enough about how great this place is. I knew we found a gem when we order a Reuben and they freshly sliced the meat in front of you. 10/10. Great job.
Kid-friendliness: There are tons of food and beverage options for kids and families.

This was the best Rueben Sandwich I have ever had and that says a lot. This place is a “must try”
