This place exceeded all expectations—and the bar was already set pretty high thanks to the rave recommendation! Their vegan menu alone is worth the visit. It was honestly hard to choose because everything sounded incredible, but the vegan chorizo Crunchwrap was a total standout. Bursting with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly fresh—nothing was lacking. I’d give it more than 5 stars if I could!
The pinball machines added a fun, nostalgic touch, and the customer service was truly phenomenal. Highly recommend!

Not your average “Deli shop”. Did you know they have adult gaming and kids arcade games? I didn’t know until last weekend. My grandson suggested it for our lunch date. He loves this place, now I understand why. He loves their waffle fries, cheeseburgers, pinball machines and other arcade games. It was my first time there though. I really liked the big, open industrial look, the Metallica pinball machine and Black Knight pinball machine, the chicken sandwich and soup, and thought it was a great decision to separate the bar and adult gaming room from the main “all ages” game room where the arcade games are.
The Black Knight game, cracked me up! Its quite “Bossy”. When you put your first quarter in, it says “Give me more money, MORE!” Then when you do, it says “Feed me more gold!” And a few other things, there is a short video attached.
The environment was great! Unexpected to walk into a place that just sounds like a sandwich shop and find the entertainment Nice surprise!
This past Summer they hosted disc golf tournaments on site. They have live music performances on the stage inside and in the Summer they have outdoor seating and outdoor live music as well. Check out their website for events. Pretty “Epic” place to go for lunch or dinner. I definitely recommend it!

When you first walk into Epic Deli, you immediately get a nostalgic vibe from the old retro TV shows playing above the order counter to the classic arcade games tucked inside. We stumbled upon this place while heading to a local children’s play area, and I’m glad we did.
As pictured, I ordered the Nacho Libre Smashburger, and it did not disappoint. It was cooked perfectly and full of flavor. The old-school nacho cheese and homemade tortilla chips came on the side and were phenomenal, pairing really well with the corn elote and salsa on the burger.
They also had Barq’s Red Cream Soda on the fountain, which is a classic touch on its own. I’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone passing through the area.

Definitely the coolest sandwich shop I have been to. There are so many options on the menu that you won’t find anywhere else. Everything we had was good. We tried the Viking, a burger, and the fried pickles and it was all great. Tons of cool arcade games to play from as well. Highly recommend for a great sandwich and good atmosphere. 10 of 10 could not recommend enough!

Such an awesome spot with incredible food and friendly service! If you haven’t tried their cheesecake of the day, you’re missing out—it’s always creative and absolutely delicious. I bake a lot of cheesecakes myself, and theirs never disappoints. Whether you’re craving a classic sandwich or one of their wild, over-the-top creations, Epic Deli always delivers.

My only complaint is that we don’t live closer! Last night we met up with some friends for my daughter’s birthday, and when we got there we were greeted with balloons and a Happy Birthday sign! The guy who was working out front, Joshua, was a rock star! He so accommodating to our big party and our numerous requests. Thank you so much for being so welcoming and inviting and setting the mood and atmosphere for my daughter and her friends. And of course, as always, the delicious vegan gyros!

Ordered online which the process was confusing. There is a spot that is a list of all the ingredients that come on the sandwich. I check marked the stuff I wanted to keep. When I got my order my receipt says “no” to the ingredients. Luckily we got the things we ordered correctly. Other than that it was great. The lady was very friendly and welcoming. Got the Big ED which was delicious. Pulled pork sandwich in between 2 grilled cheese sandwiches. My wife got the BLT which was fat and greasy in the best possible way. Will definitely be returning!!

The food is phenomenal! Had an issue with an on-line order but Dave, the owner, was great in fixing the issue. Today I had their special on the menu, The Good, Better, Best, and it was AMAZING. This is definitely a “Hidden Gem”! Both Epic Ruebens (corned beef and pastrami) are also AMAZING. A must try has to be the Churro Cheese Cake! I am not a big fan of cheese cake but this blew my taste buds out of the sky. I would highly recommend ordering this dessert. I will definitely be going back to Epic Deli again!

Absolutely love Epic Deli for years now, everything we get is delicious and unique. Appreciate a huge, customizable menu. I have brought all my friends here at least twice because everyone needs to experience it. Price is great, split a foot long sub and an appetizer with someone and it’s perfect. Lovely people too.

First time here in a while! The menu has changed but still had some great options. My burger was fantastic. Kids loved their food as well, and I love the vintage arcade games.
HOWEVER, the vibe was a bit WEIRD with the addition of a bunch of gambling machines in the main dining area?? They seemed to be making weird distracting noises too even though no one was using them. These machines are so pervasive in this area and I feel like it killed the vibe for me personally. They’re depressing. Get rid of those and stick to the cool arcade deli theme!
UPDATE: They changed around the dining room, it’s just arcade and claw machines and air hockey 🙂 Vibe was awesome and food was great! So good that I forgot to snap a picture before digging in to the cheesecake
