Cannonball Deli

I am so glad we tried this restaurant. We were tired and hungry after walking all morning. From the street, you would never know how good this place is. We actually walked past and had drinks at another place and after reading Unilocal reviews came right back. I am so glad we did! Eric, our waiter helped us decide what to get and the food was delicious. Best gyro I have ever had! I will definitely be back and will make this my regular stop when I visit Harper’s ferry. Very friendly staff and great food!

Had the beef bowl and lamb gyro. Very good. Large portions. Pleasantly surprised by this place. Great service. We also had the geek pizza. Very good. If ever in Harper’s again, would definitely come back.

Great food, quick & friendly service, well-​priced.
Highly rec the Gyro salad, Brisket sandwich, & malts!

The Cannonball is perfect for a quick bite to eat in Harper’s Ferry. Expect nothing with ambiance, nothing with historic ties, and nothing overly fancy, and you won’t be disappointed. Have kids? Perfect. Have to get a holdover meal? Perfect. Don’t mind a blah interior? Perfect.
Cannonball perfectly suited our needs today after hiking to Maryland Rocks and needing quick sustenance before a tour of the town. One personal veggie pizza and a chicken burrito bowl latrr, we were in good shape. Both were in the $ 10 range… but offered ample quantity. Quality of food was fine. Exactly what we needed.
There are more atmospheric places in town, but the Cannonball serves a purpose. It’s the kind of place John Brown might have patronized for a quick gyro before the militia arrived!

We loved the gyros and burrito bowls. They were delicious and generous portions. Excellent!

Inconspicuous with great food… My wife and I brought the kids to Harper’s Ferry recently and instead of eating the packed picnic we brought, we decided warm food would be better since the weather turned cold. The kids devoured a pizza in nothing flat. My lamb gyro never left my hand and was gone quickly. The wife had a Greek pizza that disappeared just as quickly. The twelve year old got a chicken quesadilla that was almost as large as the plate. Prices are OKAY, considering it’s next to a National HP. But it wasn’t the location that brought us here… It was the aromas! Service is a bit slow, but understandable considering there is a small kitchen that cooks to order. Kids approved. Mom gives thumbs up. And I want another gyro…

They don’t have lemonade as a soft drink, so that was annoying. They also don’t have fries so that’s also annoying. My turkey tasted like it was bought from Walmart. We had to walk through the kitchen to get to the seating, which is unsanitary. The food is also pretty expensive yet it tastes like its from a garbage can.

Was pleasantly surprised! We were passing through the town on a trip and take local recommended this deli. It didn’t look like much, but we gave it a try. The portions were huge, we ordered cheese quesadilla, hot dog and a chicken burrito bowl. My mom said the quesadilla was the best one she had eaten, the burrito bowl was delicious the chicken on it had excellent flavor. Highly recommend stopping here!

Had an amazing experience. The Gyro was fantastic, you have to try. We all loved it. So friendly the owner joined us for a beer.

Had 2 large pizzas and a sub. Took 45mn to get the food, and it wasn’t anything good. I don’t get the 4 star reviews. Soda bottles almost room temperature.

Wandered into their outdoor dining area, off of Potomac Street — departed via front entrance, and probably wouldn’t have eaten here if we’d come in that way. Food was quite tasty. They had Stewart’s soda, an old-​school treat. We had very tasty cheese-​covered bread as an appetizer. Then I had a Caesar salad with toasted pita bread; everything was fresh, although it had too much dressing. My wife had a Gyro salad that was very large and tasty. The server was very nice. To get to the bathroom, I had to ascend stairs outside, then literally walk through the kitchen. Overall, food was good, but facilities need a major facelift.

Came here because of previous Unilocal reviews and the smell of gyro and was not disappointed. We ordered the lamb gyro and chicken quesadilla and both were amazing. Both came with huge side salads and the gyro also had chips. Service was fast and great. They also have an ice cream bar but we were so stuffed by the food that we did not partake. About $ 10-​$ 12 per meal. Not bad for how much food we got.

We stopped in here late afternoon on Mother’s Day, after hiking on the A.T. I wasn’t really sure what to expect. The place was empty, and I was afraid they were closing. They assured us we could come on in, and eat. We were grateful because we were hungry.
The menu offers a wide variety of options; from gyros, subs, pasta, pizza, salad, burgers, and more. I opted for a chicken gyro. The rest of my party had lamb gyros, and subs. We were all extremely satisfied with our meals. I loved the cucumber sauce on the gyro. Best I’ve ever had. The portions are large, and the price is reasonable. Before we left to go explore Harpers Ferry, we got shakes, and ice cream. Also, yummy.
Overall, a pleasant experience. I would recommend it to anyone I knew that would be visiting Harpers Ferry, WV, and if I found myself back there, I would definitely want another chicken gyro.

Came here after wondering around Harper’s Ferry for a while. It was a Sunday afternoon so it was pretty crowded. A bunch of teenagers and hikers there for the ice cream. Very small interior but they had seating outside also.
I got the New York style hot dog and a steak and cheese for the boyfriend. It took a while which made since by how busy the place was. The chips that came with my hot dog was kinda soggy which did not make much since because I didn’t keep it in the box for that long.
The boyfriend’s sub came with chip and a salad. His chips werent that soggy and his salad was fresh. We thought the sub was great until we found a bug in it.
I might try a different place when I visit next time. Good for the ice cream and thats probably it.

Until I tried this little place in a basement in Harper’s Ferry, I had no desire at all to hike the Appalachian Trail. But once I did, I realized that, if this is the type of food that awaits long distance hikers at city stops along the trail, it might not be an awful idea.
Though I’m about as active as ground slug normally, I do love carbohydrates. And this place fulfilled even my insatiable needs for bad for you (unless you’re burning off the calories) pastas with thick tomato sauces. And the serving size was so gigantic that my eyes got as big as my stomach when I saw it. The sauce, it has to be said was very rich so I’m not sure how I would handle it on a hike (if I were to do such a thing), but I left full and with quite a bit of money left in my pocket.
In the time that I was there, a couple of hikers did come in off the trail (though they were the weekend sort) and the employees chatted them up and asked them about their hike. And that was a nice touch.
I think a big problem would be, however, that I’d get too attached to this restaurant to move on down the trail. They have so many vegetarian items on the menu, it was almost hard to just choose the spaghetti. But if I were actually hiking, that would be the least of my problems most likely.

After a nice long hike at Harper’s Ferry, we were hungry and decided to stop by here for lunch. This place looked like a mix between Greek and Mexican food, can’t go wrong with that! So we ordered 2 burrito bowls and a Gyro sandwich. I had a beef burrito bowl and it was BoMB! I definitely recommend it! The chicken was good too (I tried a piece) but the beef was way better! The portion sizes were huge, but I loved the food so much I ate it all! Hehe, I burned it all off on the uphill hike back to the car though ;)
Also their service was good, and they look cramped but they have outdoor seating in the back which it nice and spacious.
If you’re looking for lunch in the area, I definitely recommend this place!

Tonight, my family and I ordered two pizzas via phone. We were told that they’d be ready in 10 minutes. When I arrived 10 minutes later, I waited another 15 – 20 for the pizza, even though there was no one in the place.
When I left, I opened the pizzas in the car and was extremely disappointed. The toppings weren’t right and they looked like cheap frozen pizzas. When we got home to taste them, they actually tasted worse than they looked. Awful! I used to believe that there was no such thing as a bad pizza. This place proved me wrong.
So so disappointed! And, the worst part was that it cost me almost $ 32 for two lousy pizzas. Such a waste of money and calories. DO NOT get the pizza here!

Best place I have found in downtown harpers Ferry! Lots of little restaurants and small places to eat but most are expensive and have less than standard food. This place was a nice surprise. Everything we had was fresh and well presented. I highly recommend the burrito bowl, though everything we had was great!

I kind of had a feeling something was going to pleasantly surprise me about this place. It doesn’t look like much from the outside, but it’s in a historic town with lots of daily visitors, and I knew my dad did his research before leading us in. I can be kind of a food snob so I was curious to see what this place was putting on the table.
It was delicious! I ordered a falafel wrap, and it came with a Greek side salad and chips. The plate was huge so I saved half, but I was really happy with the quality, freshness and presentation. The wrap was made really well! Also happy to see vegetarian options. Mom got the burrito bowl with chicken, I almost ordered this, and definitely will if there is a next time. I was impressed with the flavor in this dish!
The service was also very good. There were three younger adults all working very patiently together. The deli itself was very small inside but made for a quaint, small town experience. And we later discovered a patio around the back with plenty of seating.
Only thing I would suggest is to serve drinks in reusable cups as opposed to styrofoam. I figure they do this so tourist/​travelers can take drink to go, but maybe offer a refill in the styrofoam, but something less wasteful for those dining in. That’s all!

This place is FANTASTIC!!! It is an in-​the-​basement-​hole-​in-​the-​wall, but the food and service are dynamite! We were seated quickly by an attentive young man I took to be the manager. (?) I ordered the veggie wrap and my husband and daughter got the hot dogs. The veggie wrap am an come with fresh or cooked veggies. I opted for cooked and it was wonderful!!! It came with a side salad and chips. The salad was so refreshing with lots of veggies. The hot dogs were enormous!!!
I would definitely visit this place again if I happen through Harpers Ferry again.
