I went here 10 years ago and remembered the food being awesome. I went yesterday and it was not good. The potato skins were cold, my tiny Louisiana HOT chicken sandwich was flavorlessly bland and tough like jerky, my fries were room temperature and mushy, the ranch dressing was the cheapest bottled stuff you can find and the baked beans were bland, cold and definitely from a can. What happened to this place?? I invited other people but now I'm glad they couldn't go, I would have been embarrassed after talking up this place so much and it being such a huge disappointment.

Had a birthday dinner here last night! I have been coming here since I was a kid in the late 70s / early 80s but moved away 24 years ago. Anyway, could not wait for their famous potato skins !!! Did not disappoint: ) I had the chicken Cesar wrap and house made chips - yum!! My son had the catfish - well done and delicious but he said it was salty and not able to eat it all bc of that. Husband and I had some drinks and our niece had the turkey club - she enjoyed it very much. I guess my husband casually mentioned it was my birthday so the host brought out a complimentary choco-lava cake that was decadent and super kind. The bartender and waitress was a complete doll - fun to talk to and kept our drinks full and even wrote a sweet birthday message on the receipt 🩷!!!! We were finishing our meal and visiting near closing time and never felt rushed. It was a trip down memory lane and I am so happy i
BG’s Old Time Deli still exists - a Cape icon!! The interior has been refreshed and I think they did a nice job. We had a great time and look forward to our next meal there : )

We went for dinner on 8/31/24 at about 5:30 in the afternoon. The place was dead. It took almost 10 minutes for the girl to get up off her butt and seat us. Then she turned out to be our waitress. Haley finally came back over and took our drink order. I had to ask for my drink 4 times before I got it. We ordered appetizers which were good but the rest of the food was subpar at best. Haley was the epitome of a lazy food server. She sat in a booth behind us and complained about having to work and wait on people. If she wasn't complaining about her job she was on her phone and ignoring us and the other table that she was waiting on. I hope someone from BG's does something to fix Haley's lazy attitude. We most definitely will NOT be back. Not even for the good potato skins.

I am not one to write reviews, but I feel like one is warranted for such wonderful service. We came for lunch after an intense hike in the heat. We were parched. Our waitress Hayley brought our waters out within a few minutes of getting the drink order. She noticed that I drank mine right away and refilled it. She took our food order without writing anything down and without judgement for my picky order (texture issues). While eating the appetizer, she refilled our drinks again. The appetizer (chicken nubs) came out very hot and we both enjoyed them. Someone else brought out the food. Instead of a wrap, I was given a sandwich. I accepted it with no issue as I worked many years in the food industry and understand. Hayley came around to check on us as we were eating and immediately said "you were supposed to get a wrap" I told her it was perfectly fine her response was "no it's really not" She went into the kitchen and returned with a wrap soon after. That was very thoughtful of her to make it right even though I was content with what I had been served. Tonight, I enjoyed the wrap. Somebody trained her well. I hope she is being paid her worth.

I’ve been eating here since I was a kid and we won’t talk about how long ago that was. Recently we took several friends of ours that were in town for a softball tournament. I had been bragging about how good the food was(especially the potato skins) and they didn’t disappoint. Our friends keep talking about how good it was too. The service was as good as you will ever see, anywhere, period. Eddie and Hayley, you guys were the best and made our friends’ experience the best. Really enjoyed talking about the history of the place as well. Long story short, if you are in town you have to give them a try. The parking lot always looks full and parking can be a bit of trouble but don’t let that deter you.
