Amazing sandwiches and fast service! My family has been coming here for many years. We're glad to see it's still going strong.

Shortstop Deli has been a local institution since 1978. They operate a deli counter and convenience store with a large selection of sandwiches and snacks. They use a ticket system for ordering, which can be a little confusing if it’s your first time here. What you want to do is go up to the counter and grab a ticket. If you want a regular sandwich, you’ll want the one labeled “Ithaca style sub.” They also have tickets for breakfast sandwiches (which are really delicious) and pizza subs. Once you have your ticket, mark down what you want and give the white copy to the person making sandwiches and the yellow carbon copy to the cashier to pay. They’ll call your name when your sandwich is done. I usually take mine to go and eat it in the park, but they have tables there if you want to eat inside. I really can’t recommend this place enough! The sandwiches are always delicious and you absolutely have to try their giant cookies! I’d go so far as to say that they’re the best sandwich shop in town.

Short stop deli has me short on patience. They have the most complicated ordering system. Ever. I just wanted meatball parm and a chicken parm sandwiches. I told that to the guy behind the counter and instead of taking my uncomplicated totally normal order, they make you fill out a ticket. To make it more complicated you have to fill out the right ticket. There are four. I was never a waiter and it seemed like they want the customer to do the waitstaff/ order staff job. There wasn’t a line. The place wasn’t busy. They didn’t have patience to walk us through the ordering process. Instead he knew what I was going to order before hand ( because I already told him) and said two hot sandwiches are coming up to the kitchen staff. Then they watched me struggle to figure out how to fill out the form. Was too complicated. In short,
Service was lacking.
Noting when the food came out,
The chicken parm tastes like an overgrown chicken nugget.
The sandwich wasn’t hot. I circled hot. It came luke warm at best
This place is weird. The processes are weird. Everything, weird.

Lots of family fun. It is so much fun I wish they had a 3 game deal or a season pass. It is challenging too. During the week there are less people. The 18th hole has a special where you can win a free game. Who does like a free game.

This place is a staple of Ithaca if you’re looking for a delicious quick stop hit the Shortstop. Customize your sandwich to order. I never leave hungry and always plenty of options. Parking is a little tricky in this busy intersection. Big fan

Great atmosphere, great service and ::cough:: cheapest (& tastiest) breakfast sandwich around! I also got a coffee with it, and it was still under $10. So good - I'll be back for sure!

Great menu to get a sub or sandwich, hot or cold. Quick service, fair prices. Place gets busy so try to plan for that

Sandwiches are good, staff are friendly. However, for the prices charged, it is a necessity that you all exemplify cleanliness in your establishment. The vents in the kitchen above the food prep areas are very visibly dirty and heavily covered in debris/build-up, takes nothing to clean.

It’s 24 hours and has 9 cent drinks with a sandwich. Good sub. Service was right in but totally laid back. Enjoyed the meal and good big dill pickle if you’re into that.
