Ossie’s Deli & Meats

Great deli, awesome selection on the menu, staff are friendly and enthusiastic… I wolud love to see this place stay open later then just before dinner time in addition to Sundays. They would make a fortune saying open a bit longer.

I must to have on your radar! Great deli style sandwiches, been eating here for 20 years. Have had catering from here and it never disappoints.

Tsawwassen locals all know this spot as the most delicious lunch spot in the lower mainland. This IS the definition of a hidden gem. If you like deli sandwiches, get the schnitzel burger, it’s what they’re known for. Today I had the Stout and it was fabulous.
The original owner was an awesome man, who always made people smile when they came into his deli. It’s still run by family. This place will always be the heart of tsawwassen and my favourite local tsawwassen spot.

If you are from tsawwassen, you love ossie’s… we have all eaten there. It’s a part of the town. It is not allowed to ever move, or close down.
The person who made the negative comment below (jake) is an idiot. I would eat here 7 days a week if I could

Winner, winner!!! A super gem!!! My husband + I were in Tsawassen completely starved + I found Ossie’s on Unilocal.I’m SO GLAD we did!
It’s a family owned deli, with a really warm, homey feel. It was lunch time on a weekday, the deli was crowded with all locals who seemed to know each other + a fireman. You know police officers + firemen all know where all the good, cheap places to eat are at! There’s sandwiches + «burgers» + soup on the menu. I asked what the most popular sandwich was + the SUPER nice + cheery attendant said, «The James Burger». OMG it was so good! Fresh kaiser roll, chicken schnitzel, shredded lettuce, onion, pickles, melted cheese + the perfect amount of messy mayo! I have been dreaming about this sandwich ever since! Cash only.
The ladies at the store noticed I was pregnant + as we were leaving they called out to me + gave us two free cookies that were delish!
I can’t wait to go back! There’s not many places like this around anymore! If I could give the more than 5 stars I would!

Does sanitation even matter here?
The entire restaurant is grimy and in bad need of a good washing. The workers wear no gloves and do not wash their hands between handling food and handling money. When I was in last, the woman behind the counter stuck her finger in her ear, twisted it around, then proceeded to assemble a sandwich.
Disgusting. The food is alright, the sanitation so bad this place isn’t worth visiting.

Ossie’s is the kind of Deli you watch disappear after Subway moves in next door and that makes you feel *terrible*
¹⁰⁄₁₀ would eat again,
Me and a friend stopped by the neighboring thrift store and ended up grabbing lunch here. The wall along the dining area is covered with about 20 years of faded and curling customer photos.
We ordered soup and a sandwich, plus another sandwich.
The sandwiches were not anything to write home about (Mostly just didn’t like the Kaiser bun, but I can admit that’s my personal taste) but the soup was a pretty phenomenal split pea we sat around waiting to cool just for the pleasure of eating it as soon as possible.
If I find myself back in Delta any time soon, I’d go back for another sammy and some soup, because I like the cut of their rib,
But I’d ask for some extra tomato because I’m green like that.

Been going to Ossie’s for years! Great kaiser buns and a more than decent meat to vegetable ratio in the sandwiches!
Only downside is that it is cash only, but 7 – 11 has an ATM.
