$ 8.05 sandwich not worth it. I asked for light meat and toasted and what I got was a old bread and payed full price. They told me light meat cost the same and they can’t toast it today because the oven is full… really…oven is full??? Also they cut my bread in half only from the top but the bottom was not cut. I will never go back there… go get subway instead next door.

The food was great because it was fresh and with a lot of choices. But the service is what is even more important to me. I will not go to a great restaurant if the service or attitude of the staff is bad. Here you don’t have to worry about either. Great food and great attitudes with great service. I highly suggest you check them out.

First of all, I agree with the person who says rude. We tried to order over the phone before Noon and were told too busy and hung up. Secondly, we have order from this place before so this is not our first rodeo with them. Let’s talk about the sandwiches. Over a year ago we got good sandwiches, but within the past couple of months they are a joke. A few weeks ago we got the Prime Rib sandwich $ 10 plus tax. Several in our office did with varied results, I had a few good pieces but allot had major fat. They even tried to hide the fatty pieces in the middle so it looked like the sandwich was bigger. Now today on St Patty’s Day I had the Corned Beef. Again, they tried to hide the fatty pieces in the middle. There is no way my looked like the photos here. I actually had to take the sandwich apart and cut the fat out of many pieces. It looked good but when I bit into it, the piece was all fat. That is what made me looking for it. There was someone else in the office who got a fatty sandwich too, so it was not me. For the price and wait you have here it is not worth it at all!!! Another time I had the Stuffed Pepper Soup, and it did not taste like a Pepper at all. Actually it seem to lack any kind of salt or pepper. And I am not a salt person. Could keep a small container of salt at home for a year and still not finish it. The season is just off here. Please take your money and go experience some of the other cafes that are open for the Lunch crowd like down the street Fatt Mustard or the Greek place across the street. This is just not worth the hassle of paying the high prices and not knowing what quality of meat you will get. And let’s go back to the attitude of the people working here. The lady at the cash register could have cared less about being friendly to you. At least she could say Hi to you but that is asking too much. Sorry but you have really turned me off with these sly tactics with cheap cuts of meat and service. And next time call back someone if they want to complain, because it is the respectful thing to do.

Love this place. A great variety of soups. Everyone has chicken noodle soup — this restaurant gets more creative than that. Highly recommend!

It’s been said before in a lot of reviews, but I’ll restate it: Big, delicious sandwiches with generous meat levels. On Fridays they offer one of the most satisfying BLTs I’ve ever had. As a bonus the people working there are delightful!

The biggest sandwiches in town! The line can get long but it moves quickly and the sandwiches are definitely worth the wait! The hot corned beef is my go to sandwich when I come here. The staff is always super friendly. Don’t forget about your punch card, whenever you«box» your lunch with a soup or salad they give you a punch, once you get 10 punches you’re 11th boxed lunch is free! Whoever said its CASHONLY is wrong. They take cards with a minimum purchase of $ 7.

Can’t say enough positive things about this place. The only negative is CASHONLY. The sandwiches are fantastic, and are piled with meat. The pictures shown are actual purchased sandwiches… not fake marketing photos to make you think you’ll get a ton of food. The Corned Beef and Friday special BLT are my two favorites. The soups are excellent as well. Plan on carry out though… there are something like only 6 tables and at lunch time… they’re pretty much always full.

Decided to try this place since I read such wonderful reviews. I ordered the corned beef sandwich and cream of broccoli soup. Very disappointed. I took two bites of the sandwich and can’t even finish it. The meat has this strong metallic after taste like iron and no corned beef flavors. The meat was also very dry and cut thin. On a positive note, service was good and loved the atmosphere of this tiny restaurant. when I called they were apologetic and gave me a free sandwich card. I will be trying this place again because I don’t think it is representative of their food and service. Perhaps just an off day.

This is the best place’s to eat lunch. I probably am a little prejudice because I have been going to the same place to eat lunch for about 14 yrs. Why, because if it is not broken don’t fix it. You will love the special’s and especially the soup

If this review were just about the food, it would be 5 stars. It’s cheap, the portions are great, the quality is amazing. They have a great selection of sandwiches, side salads, and soups. It’s your local hole in the wall spot that has great food. It’s local, I want to support it. The interior is nothing to brag about, very small with a few places to sit and eat. They take credit cards with a minimum of $ 7. The service is what kills me. The people who work here are just plain rude. This was our first time here. We had never seen the menu. We had no idea what to order. The woman at the register was no help at all, completely impatient, and not nice at all whatsoever. There was another girl that was younger that brought out food out that was nice. There was another woman bringing out food that sassily screamed out orders. I felt like I was in the«Soup Nazi» episode of Seinfeld. «No soup for you!» Needless to say, if they were more friendly and pleasant… like you expect a small local deli to be… I would come back. But after that experience, I won’t be back. their attitudes turned me off for good.

I came here after reading other Unilocal reviews, and was a little disappointed. Their BLT was piled high with bacon and was pretty good, but I think I built it up a little bit too much in my head. The bacon was very crispy which made it hard/messy to eat and there was a lot of mayo; so if you aren’t a fan be wary. I would like to come back, however, and try one of their other sandwiches or handmade soups.

This place is awesome. If you get a full sandwich, you will have enough for at least 2 meals. Bigger than a sandwich at that Katz deli in NYC. Sign up for their specials they send out everyday they are open. It is not cash only. They only do credit over a certain amount. That is why they have the iPad with the reader on the top.

I am still dreaming about the BLT I had… Two delicious pieces of wheat bread, fresh lettuce and tomato, mayo and mounds of thick and amazing bacon. Ohhh the bacon. All Ways Catering & Deli has a quirky little vibe, but it works. I snagged one of the six tables available for Nicole W and I. It was located next to the festive St. Patrick’s Day Christmas tree of course. We were there at about 11:45 am on a Friday which was really good timing. About a half hour later the line was almost out the door. Service is pleasant and fast though, so two thumbs up for that. The BLT is the special on Fridays and special is an understatement. This glorious mound of a sandwich is to die for. I had a cup of the tomato bisque as well which was the perfect accompaniment. Things to know: — Cash only — Beverage options are soda, water, or iced tea Don’t be fooled by this strip-mall demeanor. All Ways is a yummy gem of a lunch spot!

A Mom & Pop joint convenient to my office. The sandwiches are LOADED with meat(I had pastrami, and a half sandwich serving was too much). Reasonably priced, they also have«zuppa» to warm you up on a cold day. They also have a special where they text menus and specials to you, AND my friend(a regular, evidently) requested a dish be brought back, and one of the folks there says others have asked as well, so they’re bringing it back. So I’ll have to go back

Get the roast beef, you won’t be disappointed!!! As for soup, get the Buffalo Chicken, or Chicken Gumbo(if available) ! Also don’t forget to ask for extra pickle :)

This place has been on my bookmark list for quite some time. Difficult for me to patronize because they are only open 11 – 3, weekdays. However, finally made two visits here. First visit had Corned beef with Swiss on Rye, An Italian Sub, and the meatloaf special. (It was not all for me, we shared!) here is my take on the goods. Corned beef = only OK. A lot of meat, but there was only a single slice of Swiss, so you could not tell it was even there. Also, the bread was basically flavorless with all the meat. They put a ton of meat on their sandwich. I am sure that others really like this amount, but I like balance in a sandwich. It felt like I was just stuffing cold lunch meat in my mouth. Meat loaf = Nothing special. Sorry to all the people who rave about it, but it was just nothing special at all and it was expensive. I don’t get the raves. Italian sub = Excellent with a capital E! This was a great sandwich. Excellent bread, proper amount of meat, cheese, dressing, etc. It was great. This one was a winner. I have gone back and had the Italian sub again to verify its goodness and I can confirm that my first assessment was spot on. This is a very, very good sub. Try one for yourself. Pic attached. Cheers to all.

Like the famous laureate and thespian 50 cent once said. «I love you, like a fat kid loves cake.» That pretty much summarizes how I feel towards this sandwich institution. This is right by my work, and we frequent this place for lunch. My favorite is the pot roast sandwich, which they have as a special on a rotating schedule. Also I will watch a «Honey Boo Boo» marathon if you promised me that I would get some of their delicious meatloaf at the end. The soups here are also amazing. I HIGHLY recommend the Chicken & dumplings. This place is a delicatessen lover’s dream come true. I love this place, «All Ways!» Get it? Ok bye!

Sometimes its good to wait on writing your Unilocal review and sometimes it’ll kick a place in the ass. In this case, I wish, for their sake, I would have written my review after my first visit because I wouldn’t have had anything but good things to say. I had never heard of All Ways until I was chatting with my sister’s brother-in-law whom also works nearby and frequents All Ways for lunch on the reg. He raved about this place and sure enough, I took a look on Unilocal and my sister has been and had great things to say, so there was nothing to stop me from trying them out the following week. On my first visit, I went with a coworker and we split a BLT and each ordered a soup. I chose the Mexican chill and she opted for the Tomato Bisque, if I remember correctly. I literally could not believe the amount of bacon they put on this sandwich. It’s unhealthily stacked on in a wonderful way. The Mexican chili was jam packed with flavor and spice. It was wonderful. Sadly, the Mexican chili is the only thing that is consistent here and to tell you the truth, it’s not always the same level of spiciness but it’s never been bad by any means. I have eaten from All Ways about 10 times now and am only truly pleased with my food/service about every other time we eat here. That goes for me and my colleagues I bring along. Since my first visit, I think I have probably sent about 12 – 15 people their way from both my work and friends that work nearby. I think it’s great when you find a local place that makes good food. Unfortunately, both myself and all my friends find there to be a lot of the same issues with both slow service and inconsistency. It makes me sad because I want to like this place so much more than I have on my most recent visits. There are not that many lunch options in the area and I’m not a fast food fan, so having a nice soup or hot sandwich instead of the same old turkey and cheese on wheat makes lunch time a lot better. The BLT’s on Fridays always make this place insane! Call ahead to place your order if you are on a time constraint like we often are with only having a 30 minute lunch. The speed of their service can be slow. One very important tip if you want to get the BLT on Friday, make sure you get there early because there have been several occasions where the sandwich only has about half the amount of bacon because I’m guessing they were running low and tried to make more sandwiches with less bacon which is totally fine, but then I think they should charge accordingly. Both times these were orders were to-go and taken back to the office. When we eat there, we have NEVER had an issue. So eat in if you can and enjoy the homey atmosphere. On one occasion a colleague of mine deliberately ordered a BLT so she could use the bacon from one half of the sandwich to use in a recipe she planned to make the next day and this was one of the instances where the bacon was lacking. *insert sad face here* The white chicken chili is one of the most unappetizing things I have ever seen served in a restaurant(see my photo). I think it should be taken off the menu. Serve more of the stuffed pepper soup! It’s fantastic as well. The corned beef is delicious… and that’s coming from someone that doesn’t really eat corned beef other than on St. Patty’s day. Overall, they need to work on consistency, timing, and speed. I would absolutely eat here every week or every other week if I could trust my meals would be consistent every time. I try to limit my lunches out to once a week and being that you can often make more than one meal out of anything you order here, this is a desirable dining spot. One more thing… hit the ATM before going to All Ways. They are a CASHONLY establishment!

Unilocal steered me right this time! Got a huge and delicious corned beef sandwich and a large and hearty cream of chicken soup with wild rice for under $ 10. Apparently they are only open during lunch hours, and there are only 5 or 6 tables but it was not crowded. I’m surprised that there were not more people there considering the quality and the prices, but I’m not complaining as it’s worth the 15 minute drive from my office to get a delicious sandwich like that again. NOTE: They have a $ 7 minimum for credit cards.

$ 7.44 for the most mammoth of corned beef sandwiches I’ve seen in a very long time. With a pickle on the side. That, my friends, is a delicious deal. All Ways isn’t too much to look at, but this tiny resto/deli packs a punch. I was hangry for a hot corned beef sandwich and lo and behold, thanks to my trusty Unilocal app, All Ways was just a few miles away. Upon walking in I noticed a handful of small tables to my right and a chalkboard filled with basic sammie options to my left. Thanks to the kind lady behind the counter, I had some assistance in crafting my ‘wich of the day: hot corned beef on a kaiser roll with melted swiss, dijon, lettuce and tomato. Um, hello gorgeous. That sandwich was beautiful and absolutely stacked with meat. I still have half in my fridge! I’ll certainly be back to try the chicken salad or one of their homemade soups. *Note: Cash or check only!
