Reviews
Karin, the owner, has been running this family-owned business since the 1970s, and it shows in every detail. She and her staff are warm, welcoming, and clearly take great pride in what they do. I will definitely be recommending Deli Works to everyone I know.
Various artists play music on Fridays which makes the atmosphere even better. Very cozy, lots of cool art. The plants add to the atmosphere.
Outside seating is bright and welcoming. Staff aren’t afraid to have a friendly talk while you’re ordering or eating.
I love mixing the water with the water (Picture).
My grandpa was a regular here and when he passed they added a plaque at his favorite table. (Feel free to sit there!)
Overall my favorite restaurant
Edit: Recently some signs were added to make it easier to find where to order!
But what truly sets Deli Works apart is the people. The staff doesn’t just serve you — they treat you like family. They remember your name, your order, and even how your day’s going. You never feel rushed, ignored, or like just another customer. Instead, you’re welcomed, appreciated, and cared for. It’s rare these days to find a spot where the service warms your heart as much as the food fills your stomach.
Deli Works is the definition of comfort food and comfort people. If you haven’t been yet, go. If you have, you already know why this place is unbeatable.
p. s.
seriously the potato salad rocks.
Walking in, there’s nothing marking where to make your order or if it’s waiter service. I walked over to the area where people where working and felt like I walked into the back kitchen area of a sit down restaurant. There are 4 women working, not a single one looks up, says a word to me or asks if I need anything. Lol. So I feel like I’ve accidentally walked into a kitchen and walk back out into what I figure is the dining area to look for a waitress. I realized quickly that isn’t how it works there so rather than feel embarrassed I used the bathroom to wash my hands and reset myself. (Social anxiety sucks)
The bathroom is gross. The sink is grimy. The spigot is broken and barely working, also sticky. The only way to dry your hands is from a basket of paper towels that is sitting almost halfway into the sink. So as you wash your hands you have to shove them into the back the sink just to get water while also dodging this wicker basket of paper towels that sits over 40% of the sink. Surprise surprise the fresh towels are all wet and filthy.
I should have left right then. Instead, I awkwardly walked back into the area where people are working. Eventually I find There is one posted menu (and it’s filthy.) After a few minutes a young lady comes to the area I am and stands there staring at the wall without saying anything. Ended up settling on a Reuben because the menu is hard to read and the employees clearly can’t be bothered to help with anything. It was about $16 for the sandwich, bag of chips and a gnarly old blue plastic glass for the soda fountain.
The dining room is small and dark on one side. There’s a mic stand and amp there for a musician. The tables are nice, but every table I touched was sticky and dirty. The chairs are flimsy and old that wobble with every movement. Eventually I find a table I thought was clean, as you’ll see in the photo turns out there was a layer of dust and dirt on it. See photos included. As I looked around, it was clear this dining room is treated like a house. There are house plants everywhere. The wood is all stained. The areas by the plants haven’t been swept or mopped in ages. The table next to me had dirt and grime marks on the floor in the shape of a ring from the pedestal that holds the table itself. It looked like it hadn’t been moved in years. I was fighting against a sticky table the entire meal.
5 minutes of waiting I get a Reuben thrown at my table by the same young lady in an absolutely FILTHY yellow deli basket.
The sandwich was small. First impression It did not have a good smell, something I figured out eventually was the sauerkraut. There was a glob of semi melted cheese that made the kraut smell even worse. Directly on top of the Sandwich is a small pickle, drenched in pickle juice which meant the bread was soggy before I even touched the food. First bite was gross. I ended up picking through the sandwich and only eating the meat.
It’s a BIG skip from me on this one boss. Terrible experience here.
