Strum’s Deli and Meats

Don’t drink the kool-​aid people this place is very overrated. It’s average on it’s best day. The standard for a good deli in the valley is just so low that some people think it’s good or even fantastic (especially since they are known for serving generous portions of meat on there sandwiches). It’s my third time here now and I’ve had three extremely disappointing experiences. I always felt rushed by the curt person helping me (there’s a difference between fast service and rushed service). I haven’t had a good sandwich off or on their menu yet. The handwriting on the blackboard showing you all the options is too small and clumped together making ordering off of it a challenge. Every side I’ve had so far was meh including the macaroni salad. Ordered something off the menu today that came squished the way your packed lunch was squished after sitting in your school back pack all day. Clearly it was just wrapped in a rush and got squished during that process. Besides it’s morbid appearance it also tasted like drywall. Between the sawdust-​like wheat roll it came with and the poorly distributed slab of chicken somewhat wildly thrown in, a dog might mistake this sandwich for a hairball. There was just zero love or pride put into this thing. At least cut it in half instead of serving up this hockey meat puck of a sandwich. As far as the other sandwich, not quite the tragedy but still was not good. It was a tuna sandwich and the problem was it had way way too much tuna piled on it and pouring out over the sides. Appreciate not skimping on the meats here but just serve up a simple, tasty, well put together sandwich and we’re good.

This review is only for the sandwich. Packed with deli meat with your choice of sandwich additions (jalapeños, cheese, lettuce, etc). Overall good store and very fair prices for a massive sandwich. Good people too.

Great place to pick up a deli sandwich, and other delights. A huge variety and a very reasonable price. They don’t skimp on the cheese, meat or toppings. As another user said they put Subway to shame. They charge for 12″ what others charge for 6″ and it is loaded by comparison. I will come back often.

Awesome service, friendly staff. Some of the best chicken salad in the valley. I go there every Thursday for the Cheeseburger Chowder. Yum!

In town for a wedding, my sister recommended this place for some lunch.
The store itself is great, full of different meats and prepared dishes. A lot of options, for sure. I only dealt with one employee but she was super nice and very patient as my wife and I figured out what we wanted. I had an italian sub, lettuce, onions, jalapenos (I think?). The sandwich was huge and filling, really very good and just what you’d expect from a neighborhood deli. Fresh sliced meats and cheeses are the way to go, this place makes Subway look like a subway.

I’m an out-​of-​towner who’s only eaten here a few times in the past 10 years, but every visit has been great. Nice, quick service and great subs/​grinders.
Sorta surprised that nobody had already Unilocal’d it yet.
