Friends have been telling me I was missing out. They were right. Quaint, inviting, friendly, and delicious. If you're from here, support this local business. If you're visiting, stop in. You won't be disappointed.

My mom and I decided to take my autistic sister somewhere new and so we found this eatery and they are wonderful. Not only was the food absolutely delicious but they were so nice to my sister. I highly recommend everyone check them out. Thank you to the wonderful owner and staff for making us feel so welcome. We will definitely be back again. I would share photos but it was so good I ate it all before I could snap a pic.

Cute deli in the heart of Olde Towne. The sandwiches are huge and the service is great. The owner was there getting down and dirty with his employees and you don't see that much anymore. I appreciated him interacting with us in his very little free time he has. Great team leader. Our food was given to the wrong person (someone picking up takeout by accident) but they sorted it out quickly and remade ours with care. We will definitely be back.

O.M.G. The Downtown Eatery & Deli did not disappoint!! A group of us went in to check it out for lunch. Chris, the owner, let us sample a few of the cold items before we ordered, which made it even harder to order because everything was SO AMAZING. I ended up getting the Deli Sandwich. There was more than enough meat and the flavors were to die for 10/10. The real star of the show was the Pimento Cheese! Possibly the best I've ever had!! MOUTHWATERING!!! I topped my baked potato with it, gamechanger! YUM! We will be returning for sure!!

Today I had the opportunity to visit The Downtown Eatery & Deli next door to the Commodore Theatre. It is a very nice place to grab a meal and go, or just sit and relax with a really tasty sandwich, soup, or a baked potato. My food was excellent the pastrami was toasted and tender, the baked potato was hugh and soooo good. The deli is cute and clean, and the staff was nice and friendly. My only disappointment was that they didn't have a menu I could take with me. As Arnold S. likes to say, “I’ll be back!”
