Mott & Hester Deli Co & Catering

Walked into the place all the cases and shelves were empty. 1 person working the counter. Non of the prices were listed next to any of the products. I paid $18 for a grilled Reuben and a bag of chips. There was not enough Russian dressing on the sandwhich and it came with nothing; not a pickle, not a side of slaw, not even the chips. The price is outrageous and it wasn’t even good. Total waste of money.

Ordered a catered meat lasagna and salad for Christmas dinner. Picked up at time given and was ready. Given instructions on heating. Staff helped to put in car. Lasagna and salad were top notch. Will repeat.

We went there for lunch. It was in a mall of small businesses, but even with GPS was a bit difficult to find. It was a small, but clean space that appeared to cater to a primarily take-out lunch crowd. There was a good selection of sandwiches and a few hot dishes. My wife had a Reuben that was thick and attractive. She devoured it. I opted for a turkey Reuben that was equally large and appetizing. I also ate it with gusto. If we lived in Tampa, we would return both for ourselves and with friends.

Parking: We were there mid-afternoon, but the lot was mostly full. As well, the places were narrow, and there were two construction vans adjacent making it difficult to exit our car.

Wheelchair accessibility: We didn't see any h'capped parking, but it had to be there, as did curb cuts. Both the door and the tables were accessible. I can't speak to the restroom.

The best place in Tampa! Don’t miss it - the service is impeccable and the food is even better. Get the Mac ‘n cheese, Wild Turkey and Med Bread! Over order, it’s worth it!

First time here. This place is amazing. The Spanish bean soup was incredible. The Reuben is amazing and the Mac and cheese is next level. Keep doing what you are doing here. This place is a rare gem.

My favorite place to eat when I'm in the area is no longer close to my workplace since I moved towards North Tampa. I really miss going there, especially for their sausage sandwich - it's my favorite!

stop in after I picked up a piece of equipment. ordered the mad cow and all I can say was wow I will definitely be back to try other sandwiches

Great sandwich, friendly cashier. Screams "family owned"

Excellent, fresh corn beef and pastrami. This is a must visit!

A south Tampa treasure! Everything is so delicious, love the shrimp or fish po-boy!

Tony is a great guy and has some wonderful stories.The sandwich was amazing. Got the Italian and it was perfectly constructed and the dressing was delicious but not too much so didn't get soggy.Reminds me of deli sandwiches in NY.I'll be back

I have used Mott & Hester's for years to feed our folks in the office, they have yet to disappoint!

Delicious food and very friendly crew. Definitely going back again!

Amazing sandwiches! Best caprese sandwich I have ever had. The cheese and tomatoes are fresh and loaded on the hot toasted bread. Excellent place!
