“Such a cute deli. It has some historical features and feel when you sit down at one of the booths. This is a great lunch place. The go-to is the cheese supreme with a side of Miss Vicky’s chips & their DELICIOUS chocolate-peanut butter brownie. Pretty fast service, good food & a great lunch staple in DSM.“

“We started out as a group of 5 adults and 1 18 month old headed to the Deli. Celebrating our son’s birthday, all of our other kids quickly joined in so our party of 5 1/2 became 10 1/2 really quickly.We went in around 2:30 on a Sunday afternoon.The staff was incredible and with it being our first time, everything from the arrival, entry, ordering, eating and finishing up was a first.We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We will definitely be back.We ordered several things but were so busy visiting and eating we all forgot to get photos.Chicken tortilla soup, chili, huge various spuds, several deli sandwiches, kids pizza, macaroni, cheesecake and cookies/brownies. Strawberry tea, unsweetened tea….everything was a thumbs up and given a 10. The Cuban Sandwich could have had a little bit less mustard but honestly it was good.Thank you to all who took orders, cooked and prepped the food, the staff who brought our food out and who cleared the tables while also asking if we’d like refills-thank you!!!Your establishment would make a great model of what people want when they’re spending $$ for a good meal and good experience all around.“

Banh MI

“I've had a lot of Bahn-mis and this is up there with the best. Veggies are fresh, perfect little kick from some thinly sliced jalapeño, bread was crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. You know it's gonna be good when it's someone serving them from a kitchen connected to their home. $4 per is a steal. Cash only, took 15 minutes to have them made and there's a cool fish tank to look at while you wait! <3 <3“

“Ordered online and picked up in-store. The process was simple and the sandwiches were perfect! It was exactly what I wanted. Something quick and delicious! I love that they make their sandwiches "Mike's Way" which is served with onions, lettuce, tomatoes, an olive oil blend, red wine vinegar and spices. I feel like this combination elevates every sub. If I can't order from a Jersey Mike's, I still ask for these additions--no matter what sandwich I get. I'm not a big sandwich consumer but when I feel like it, I come here. The bread is awesome (they even have gluten-free), the meats and cheeses taste like they're actually premium cuts, the veggies are cut properly, and there's not too much or too little sauce. Everything is just right!“

“I forgot to ask the young gentleman's name but I think he is a managerHe and the owners should be very proud of how well he treats customers and much more that he does to make sure everything is like the customer wants or needs it to be; plus he thinks about what else I would like and respectfully asks. I rarely see anyone anywhere that takes customer service to a level that he does. I used to own and operate two businesses and customer service was taken beyond what anyone could imagine but this was decades ago and I counted on Word of Mouth Advertising. When I see anyone that is this amazing or even close to this I let them know and I have let managers, supervisors and owners know even if it involves a phone call or email that I think someone is exceptional at what they do and at times I will say they have an old soul which doesn't always have anything to do with their age and my favorite part is what I call allowing their genuine selves shine through including a sense of humor.I understand that some people have to be professionals but if they are too professional , I say they have too much starch in their collar. I was a little disappointed related to how little is on a sandwich and that what is there doesn't spread to the ends of the buns but I do appreciate the quality and this was when he wasn't there.I asked him about something I needed to be a little different so the bread wouldn't be too crunchy/chewy and he did this to help me and understood that I am not able to chew as well as I used to be able to do and I understand why many people would like the bread to be like what makes it more difficult for me to chew.It is a nice atmosphere there.I ate quickly the last time due to I saw the open and closed hours for the first time and I clean up any mess but when I was struggling to walk with all the shopping bags hanging on my walker to exit the same way I entered the door was locked and I couldn't get anyone's attention so I had to go back across the restaurant, exit and squeeze everything through the vintage revolving door and I got stuck in there for a while.They were busy doing all required to close and there was some other customers that came in about 30 minutes before they close.Not Complaining, Just Explaining.Vegetarian options: I didn't have time to notice.Dietary restrictions: I feel sure they will do the best they can to help with this.I asked for what he had recommended previously and they did have the small disposable container of Balsamic Vinegar dressing to dip the sandwich in. It really adds to it.“

“The women who run this line are so efficient and friendly. It can be packed at lunchtime and they move the line so fast and always with a smile!I’d recommend leaving stroller in the car but it could fit if needed. The parking lot has no painted lines so it’s a different configuration every time which is weird and confusing.“

“Would rate this place 5 stars for sure !! We recently started getting lunch/supper there and have always been impressed with the taste of the food as well as the great customer service from all the employees !! But we also decided to order 2 of their meat package deals recently and just want to say their meat taste so much better than the meat we usually get from Walmart/hyvee (in our opinion) We have definitely recommended these guys to all our local friends and family and will continue to do so !!“

“The restaurant was very clean and the staff went above and beyond, they were caring and hard working. The two young men working had to warm up more meatballs because they ran out and warned me that they were fresh and very hot and as they were making my large order, used their spare time to clean and make sure the restaurant looked nice. They were very very amazing. My only problem with this restaurant was the fact that the online ordering was down for all the subways around and management should have a backup code or plan for these employees for when that happens instead of leaving them helpless and left to deal with these situations with no resources.“
