Caesar’s II Delicatessen

Been going to this Caesars Deli for 25yrs… still as good as the first time I’ve had it. Whether it’s a hot pastrami, a roma, or a deep pit… always the best at a low price. The lasagna is really good where my family has it at least once a month. Huge fan!

Have always supported local business and taken pleasure in doing so. Went here with my family for lunch as we were in the area. Placed my order and then when I went to order for my son, who has special needs and whole only eats grilled chicken or grilled cheese) I asked them to make a grilled cheese sandwich and was told the manager said no. Will not be patronizing this place any longer. Seriously disappointed. Seriously.

I have been frequenting this location since my childhood. Their pickled tongue is what dreams are made of! Although in all my years I have never eaten a sandwich made in house I can say the deli meat I take home is great. More times than not I’m ordering trays (meat/​cheese/​olive) for holidays. They are very accommodating on short notice. My fav encounters here are the mortadella (italian version of bologna) and hard jack cheese (divine).

I have been a fan of Caesar’s Italian Deli FOREVER. Our go-​to location was the original deli on Niles in East Bakersfield. Unfortunately, that location is closed. So I drove over to SW Bakersfield and took a stroll down memory lane. The service was SUPER FAST and the employee friendly. The sandwich was tasty, but the bread wasn’t as fresh as I remembered, and there was a bit too much bread. The broccoli salad was THE BOMB (as remembered).
If I lived nearby, I would probably be a regular. However, it’s not really worth the drive from East Bakersfield.

My mom gave me this recommendation after another place I wanted to go to was closed for the day; I’m actually glad it was. They have a decent selection of sandwiches, including some Italian options that made me drool.
I happened to be picking up 5 vegetarian sandwiches. Since it wasn’t listed, I asked what was included on the sandwich. The vegetarian includes lettuce, tomato, onion, picked, peppercinis, Swiss cheese, avocado, mayo and mustard. they were out of avocado. The gentleman graciously added cheddar cheese in sub of the avocado. They have a few different bread choices, I ordered all with the soft roll. The sandwiches were ready in under 5 minutes, which is pretty fast for that many.
Given that the sandwiches were so good, and cheaper than the other shop, and they were so friendly, I’d likely get my sandwiches from here when in town.

Amazing sandwiches and a nice selection of pasta salads. The service is a little slow from time to time but the food is worth the wait

Pretty solid sandwich shop. If you’re looking for something different than Subway, give em a try.

This was my first experience at Caesar’s deli. I have heard of this place for the past few years but I have never had the chance to make it in. I ordered the combination, but instead of pickled tongue I got smoked turkey. My favorite thing about the sandwich was the bread, and had a great chew to it and sesame seeds on it as well. The inside is pretty small and has a few really small tables to sit down and eat at which is kind of cool. They also have a big screen TV on the wall where you can watch the game. They sell beers there but you can drink while you eat your sandwich which kind of bummed me out. All in all the sandwich was okay, nothing fantastic. I was mostly disappointed with the size of the sandwich, I am not a light eater by any means, so I was hoping this thing would be a little bigger than it was. Especially considering that it cost seven dollars for a sandwich. I would seriously rather go to Subway and order a sandwich, that’s a terrible thing to say, but it’s true. I honestly would not suggest this place to anybody because it’s really nothing special and you’re probably going to leave hungry as I did. You live and you learn

Great meat, cute little shop with some speciality olives and martini onions for sale. Sandwich was good, but they put it on a large hoagie roll which is just too much bread for me. Also should note they include banana peppers on their sandwiches. I’ll have to remember to ask for it without them next time.
Lots of little bench seating and a very homey feel.

Love the clam chowder in the bread bowl, too bad they never have it! I went five times and each time they didnt have bowls or clam chowder. The last time I went I asked why that was, the girl has the nerve to cop an attitude and say «it’s first come first serve» WOW sounds like they want to go out of business with that business strategy, sorry for asking for the menu item that the advertise in bold lettering on their window!

Just plain Yummy!!! Must try the Caesar’s Special!!!

This is a nice little deli! I always get the pickled tongue sandwich, its awesome.
Recently I went in to just pick up some pickled tongue a la carte and a few other little deli dishes for a light lunch… marinated mushrooms, a bit of pasta salad and a few stuffed peppadew peppers that looked amazing and I thought I’d give a try. Thank god the girl working there warned me they were like $ 16/​lb though, so I ended up just getting like 2 or 3. They were delicious though! Lightly pickled, slightly sweet, and stuffed with an herby cream cheesey filling… I loved them and will definitely get those again to go with a tongue sandwich :) The pasta salad was good, I think it was like tortellini or something? But it was a tad too vinegary… and the marinated mushrooms were a huge disappointment. I am sorta crazy about pickled mushrooms but these were just WAY too vinegary — both me and my mom agreed they’re practically inedible as is… and it sucks b/​c i got an entire pound of them. I drained out as much of the juice as I could and added some olive oil, salt and some water and am trying to re-​marinate them to maybe suck out some of the overwhelming vinegar flavor but I don’t have high hopes.
I haven’t really tried much else other than the tongue sandwiches and the aforementioned items… I’d like to try different sandwiches, or maybe one of their hot items? But other than those little red stuffed peppers, I’m probably gonna steer clear of most of the deli case stuff. Oh well.

I eat here occassionaly when I forget to pack my lunch and don’t want to drive somewhere since it’s just down the street from my office.
There’s nothing really special about their sandwiches. I usually order the turkey on wheat and it’s decent but at $ 6 its a bit pricy for what it is. They recently introduced hot sandwiches and chicken is pretty good but still skimpy for $ 7.
Their service used to be really good but I’ve noticed that it’s gone down a bit the last couple times I’ve gone.
