Absolutely amazing took a coworker there today for lunch. Both of us got the tuna salad sub. It was the best tuna salad, both of us have ever had in our lives. Great food extremely friendly workers the prices were very cheap. we will definitely be back.
I happened to be in the area and hungry. I went to Yelp to see what was around, and Express Deli popped up with excellent reviews. I'm a sucker for sandwiches, but corned beef/Reuben's are not my jam. However, I looked up the menu and saw several other options, so I tried them. I was a bit hesitant upon seeing the outside presence; not scary, dingy, or sketchy-looking, just very basic and the simple name to match. - Express Deli Family - I mean no offense but, truly, this could be very off putting to more people than not. Upon entering, I wasn't quite sure what to think. When I walked to the back, past the many coolers of bottled drink options, to where the food is prepped and served, I just happened to be the only person in the store. I struck up a conversation with the gentlemen handling the food service and explained it was my first time there and that I do not like Reuben's. I quickly learned this gentleman had quite the educational background and decided to change paths and keep his family business running. I was standing in his father's business. He and his mother had been up from the early morning hours, preparing all the fresh meats for the day. He explained to me how they prepare their Reuben's differently and asked if I'd like to try their variation to the traditional Rueben. "Their" variation due to the fact that they are not Irish!! Of course, I complied. Next thing I knew, I was served mini versions of six different menu options. Three different types of "Reuben's," including a turkey version, and samples of a couple other sandwiches I mentioned being interested in. All I could say, including my response to their corned beef "version," was, 'Wow!' At 44 years of age, I ordered my first Reuben ever! Along with a bunch of other options. If you're a chicken salad person, like me, and typically find all restaurants to serve a sub-par, bland, creation - this is your place! Upon receiving my order, I went to checkout at a register I had walked by at the front of the store. This is where the father ran things. We struck up a chat for about 15-20 minutes and, while I left fearful of their future due to statistics of awesome, small, family run places like this, I was also happy to have had such a great experience - something sadly uncommon in our present day and age.
Honestly, I'm so upset that I don't live locally because the food and service here are absolutely fantastic!!! When you walk in you know the food is going to be amazing simply based on the atmosphere. I don't know what I loved more: the absolutely delicious food or the friendly family service we were greeted with. I've never had a better experience at any establishment like this. And once they knew this was our first experience they treated us with a special treat. I cannot say enough good things about Express Deli. Any time I'm anywhere near this area, I'll plan an extra trip to Express Deli!
This place is amazing! While they are consistently busy, my order is correct every single time! Highly recommend.
Can't go wrong here. Not the cheapest, but great quality at an unsuspecting spot! Great beverage selection as well.
