We have a great and delicious cheese steak sub. and a hot pastrami, and you won’t regret it, they are huge subs, 1 can feed up to 2 or 3 people. but if they are good eaters maybe, a whole sub can feed up to 2 people. even dough i feel that my cheese steak need it a little bit of seasoning or salt. . but good subs.

My family has been coming here for generations, and it’s still one of our favorite lunch stops. The sandwiches are always great, we will drive 45 minutes just to grab one. The bread is what really makes them stand out from other sandwich shops. It has perfect texture and flavor every time. My goto is the hot pastrami, and I always add lettuce and tomato. Consistently delicious and worth the trip!

My husband has spoken of this spot for years, I tried it thinking “plain old sandwich spot” but man…it was an excellent sub! Many types of sandwiches available, very fresh (as they say..it’s the bread) with various side selections. And with the quick, friendly service, very much worth a stop for a great sammie.

My dad brought me here to eat for the first time. They have a nice menu for sandwiches, which are huge. The bread is hard and a challenge to eat but delicious. The fries are good and I enjoyed the meal. I liked that they had a person to make sure the dining area was clean for people to eat in.

Ordered a turkey bacon avocado sandwich and a side of macaroni salad waited about 15 minutes for the sandwich ( it was ok ) looked really big but it was just the bread not much bacon or avocado on the sandwich. Macaroni salad was good ( had a pickle and garlic taste ) not my favorite but it was good also got a soda total $28.67 way too much for a sandwich meal

The guy who took my order was very dry
Like he didn’t even wanna be there. You could tell by the way he was stacking the soda case.
I ordered the fuego cheesesteak which was THEE MOST FLAVORLESS “CHEESESTEAK” I’ve ever had in my life. For $20 a sandwich you’d think the portion size would be decent. They’re very skimpy!! The bread is apparently their “crunchy Italian” AKA STALE ITALIAN BREAD. It’s barely soft, it falls apart and flakes all over the place. If you don’t eat the sandwich while it’s hot you’ll be coming back to crouton bread later. The steak was so chewy and the sandwich was so bland despite the “chipotle mayo” it held no flavor whatsoever
I had them make my sandwich over becuhs i didn’t like how HARD the bread was. Just to have them give me another sandwich just as hard.
honestly I left extremely disappointed and I’ll never return.
Don’t believe the hype in these reviews. Overpriced mediocre sandwiches with bare minimum customer service

First off I notices the place was a little dirty. Bussing not done, trash on floor, and trash can full. Second, I ordered what the worker suggested as their best selling grinder. I was not asked if I wanted to add anything to the grinder. I was unaware that I had to ask for onions, pickles, chilies…ect..
The grinder was good, but it needs flavor. Salt and pepper, and the oil, soybean oil which is specified on the menu, was not seasoned either. It could of been a great grinder if a proper seasoned olive oil and vinegar was offered. I probably will continue to make my own grinders at home and not return here. Disappointed since so many rave about this place and lack taste buds. Perhaps changes have occurred over time.

Got two whole grinders for my date today with my gf spent $38 just to eat bread and no meat so sad this place has changed drastically..if I checked when I was there definitely would’ve got a refund

I am a value-based buyer. Meaning when I pay $25 for a sandwich, I am hoping it is unbelievable. This was entirely believable. I’m glad to see that they make good jobs for young people and pleased to see it is crowded, popular. Dollars are getting tighter, times are getting harder. Maybe I just don’t get it and it’s me. It’s probably me.

So many people I know, love this place and don’t get me wrong-the food is fresh and tastes great. My only gripe is that I’m not a fan of the bread, it’s too flaky for my taste. I noticed that I wasn’t the only one dropping crumbs everwhere. People I went with explained that D’Elia’s is known for their bread… it just wasn’t favorite. If you love deli style sandwiches though, definitely check this place out!
