Deli-Licious Cafe

Really good! we’ve been going to RJ’s and getting horrible bagels, so glad we found this place.

Figured I’d try this given long wait at primo’s next store. Big mistake. Drowned my sub in vinegar til it fell apart, left off the pepper and oregano I requested and took 10 min for that one dude to make it when I was the only customer. Skip.

I ordered two egg sandwiches and 2 hashbrowns today, received only 2 sandwiches. Opened mine and had raw egg yolk covering the top of the roll, opened the sandwich raw yolk spilled out. Pregnant, can’t eat that. Brought it in was told it’s not raw egg, it’s yolk, that I shouldn’t expect the yolk to ever be cooked on a fried egg… I should request scrambled!!! I stated that had I wanted an overeasy egg on my sandwich I would have asked for that not a raw egg. Was then told raw egg is what comes out of an egg shell when you cracked it open and I should look it up. Really? So rude and disappointing. Very smug employee-​first time that ever happened there but certainly the last time I will ever go back. I worked in the food industry for a very long time and wouldn’t imagine saying that to a customer… especially yelling it as they were walking out of the door.

I used to drive past Deli-​licious every day without a second thought. Honestly, the place lacks curb appeal, and does not scream «EAT HERE!» One day I just said «what the hell,» and stepped inside. Ever since, I hit this place once a week for breakfast, and as soon as I find compelling evidence that sausage, eggs and home fries are good for you, I will go every day.
Everything I’ve ever had here has been killer. Haven’t gotten around to trying lunch, but the menu looks promising.
The service is friendly and efficient, the prices reasonable, and the food extremely tasty.
Judging by the small-​ish but loyal crowds I see there, this place is Ewing’s best kept secret.

Man I love this place. Deli-​Licious has become my go to breakfast/​lunch place over the last two weeks. I’ll tell you it was a big leap for me to drive past Primo’s and give this little shop a try and boy am I glad I did! I haven’t had any of the problems of the other reviewers had or felt the need to complain about and have found my choices delicious and portions beyond satisfying.
4 stars for the breakfasts, lunches, and coffees that I’ve enjoyed so far. 5^th star for being my kind of little (actually bigger than I would have guessed) no frills joint where the regulars gather and they know you by name…

«Deli-​Licious»? Not. Stopped by for the first time today to pick up a sandwich for lunch. Ordered Italian sub which only had 5 slices (yes, I counted them) of meat on a large role. For $ 7.99, I call that a major rip-​off. Take my advice and walk right past this place and go to Primo Hoagies which is a few doors down in the same shopping center. At least at Primo’s you will get what you paid for. Oh, and one final note: my sandwich also had two hairs in it. Gross.

So I was hesitant to review this place after the first trip. It felt unfair to take a deli to task for an average at best roasted veggie salad and chicken rice soup with dry chunks of meat — it’s a deli for crying out loud! Still, if they serve it, it’s fair game. Honestly, the salad was ok, but not overly flavorful and the balsamic dressing looked and tasted like nothing more than balsamic vinegar.
The problem was that I liked the place, if not for the food. Sportscenter was playing on the tv above the drink fridge, there’s a fine selection of Cape Cod and Dirty chips for my perusal (love the smoky chipotle), and a stack of brownies that were calling my name. So in the spirit of fair play I decided to visit again before passing judgment.
The second time around I walked in with my mind set on ordering a standard sub sandwich. But as I strode to the counter, I noticed the special of the day and made a snap decision. 5 – 10 minutes later I walked out the door with the chicken soft tacos, wondering «why the hell did I just do that? I called an ill-​advised audible, and now I’m going to have to pan this deli for average soup, salad and tacos?»
Luckily for me it didn’t come to that. The chicken tacos were actually quite good — freshly grilled chicken, tangy pico de gallo and a healthy sprinkling of cheese made for very tasty tacos. The only fault would be that they fell apart too easily in my hands.
On the other hand, the accompanying broccoli salad was an unexpected source of dissatisfaction. This dish was designed for people who hate broccoli (which I am not), drowning in super sweet glaze with raisins and bacon bits. It was much too sweet, and had an odd grainy texture from the crystallized sugar in the cold glaze. What a waste of perfectly fine broccoli. Fortunately for me I purchased one of the aforementioned brownies and was not forced to end on a down note.
