I am going to give this little mom and pop shop 3 stars.
I'll put the good at the top. Great little mom and pop deli shop, lots of different things on the menu. The atmosphere was great and so where the people. Awesome customer service.
I've read some reviews on them being the best place to get food in town.. I personally do not think so. I'd hate to think what others would think of places like cheddars or saltgrass?
We spent 70.00 yesterday on 4 sandwiches and 2 quesadillas from the menu. If you blink you'll miss it, it's a little shop tucked away and it even has a drive thru which is very nice. There seemed be okay parking and it reminds me of a very old deli. Very homey, lots of decor. A place where you can eat and everyone knows your name. I liked that.
What I didn't like - Seeing styrofoam everywhere. It made the place look cheap. I do not like styrofoam, I think it's something that shouldn't exist. I don't care what they say, items WILL MAKE IT MELT. I've had it happen many times now. So when I see my sandwich placed in a styrofoam container it makes me feel as if the resturant values low cheap costs over good food and health.
The prices... I get it, things are expensive now. But reasonal prices should exisit. The quesidalla was thick, lots of food, but the fried balgona sandwich wich a slice of cheese and burned bread? (I'll get to that soon) come on now.. 12.00 for that? really? That sandwich should only be about 5 maybe 6. Same for the pimento one. Which was just pimento and bread for 12.00. I saw an old picture of a menu and prices where 10.00 back then for a full order. (full sandwich)
The burned bread - I'm not talking dark brown I'm talking black. I was inside and there was no lunch rush and it wasn't just 1 sandwich, she burned my bread on all three! We are talking black lines burned. I'm more of a golden brown type of person so they lost a whole star on this from me. I couldn't eat my sandwiches do to this. The pimento was pimento and the balogna, well, was a piece of balonga... That I spent 12.00 on.. and still couldn't eat the bread due to the black.
The quesadilla's where good, I will say that. Lots of food in them. The chicken salad sandwich was good too and has got a nice kick to it.
The quality of the ingredients were not up to our standards. We could tell that they where cheap. The chicken from the chicken salad looked like chicken from a can but the gumbo looked like it had chicken thighs in it. The only quality ingredient was the multigrain bread which was I guess good, but I don't know because mine was burnt.

I literally just left out of this restaurant and ordered a gumbo. Let me tell you!!! It's delicious!!! I will return. So far it's the best gumbo in Longview. I'm from New Orleans and this gumbo comes close.. I'm so excited to bring my kids here on an off day.

Best food in town served by the kindest people on the planet. My friend loved this place and made sure to visit every time she went for chemo. They wouldn't charge her. On her last visit, she insisted upon paying for her meal. When she got home, she found that they had returned her money. It'll Do Deli nourishes the soul and makes the world a better place to live. ❤️

It’ll Do Deli is one of those rare local spots that just gets everything right. The sandwiches are always fresh, stacked high, and full of flavor. You can tell they don’t cut corners every bite tastes homemade and done with care.
The service is fast and friendly, and there’s just something special about the small-town vibe they’ve got going. Whether I’m grabbing a quick lunch or picking something up to go, it’s always a great experience.
It’ll Do Deli might be a small place, but it delivers big-time. Definitely one of my favorite hidden gems in town.

The sandwich portion here is large and the paninis are so so good. The owners are wonderful people who radiate positivity and faith. Only open on weekdays and for the lunch crowd, but I try to catch it whenever I can. Oh, get the boathouse...it's phenomenal.

Finally had a chance to stop here for lunch. The food was excellent! The atmosphere was charming. There is ample outdoor seating which is wonderful on a beautiful day. The service was fast. They bag your food so it’s easy to take to go if you like. Will definitely be back!
