I've been wanting to try the 56 Deli for a long time I had the chance this week and grabs a Ruben (very good). We intrigued was the Cuban sandwich served only Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Growing up in Florida having great Cuban food, I'm very judgy on Cuban food. I went back on Wednesday and got a Cuban along with some deviled eggs and Banana pudding. First the staff is very friendly and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a busy place, with both indoor and outdoor seating[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was Alerted the Cuban is not on "Cuban" bread but rather on Sourdough. This sandwich is delicious, a bright mix of flavors with their Cuban sauce. A true to form Cuban is on the Cuban bread and pressed in a Panini. The 59 Deli gives the best I've eaten a run for first place, it's very close. The portions are plenty one sandwich fed two of us. The deviled eggs were very good. But the star of the meal was the banana pudding thick sorta whipped with nice banana pieces. Hands down the best I've had. Prices are very reasonable and affordable I will be making plenty of more trips there Do yourself a favor and go try them read more

56 deli - Delis Near Me - Whitesboro, Texas

56 Deli makes an excellent sandwich. The prices are a bit on the higher side, but the quality makes it worth it. They also have more menu options than I expected, and several of them looked great. And I have to mention the banana pudding -- it was off-the-charts good and a standout on its own. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere has a classic, old-time diner feel, like a place that's been part of the community for years.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It reminded me of a more homey, comfortable version of Jersey Mike's, with an authentic charm you don't find in chain spots.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service was another highlight. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and you could tell they knew many of their regulars. Watching them greet their usuals added a cool, personal touch that made the place feel even more inviting. Overall, 56 Deli is a great stop if you're looking for well-made food, warm service, and a nostalgic, laid-back vibe. read more

The best sandwiches in town and everything else I sell, there specials are very good,

My mom and I stumbled upon this place and oh, my, GOD. Im not kidding when I say this may have been the best sandwich I've ever had in my life. You build your own sandwich and they have fresh ingredients brought in every day and serve lunch until they run out! I got a ham, turkey and bacon on white with veggies on white bread. It's HUGE and messy but oh so worth it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]They had a line out the door and I can see why![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The food is great. Their main thing is sandwiches. You can choose bread, meat, cheese, veg, and condiments to make just about any kind of sandwich. If they have BbQ, their Cuban is awesome. They also have a plate lunch every day. Their desserts are good, too. The staff is super friendly!

They probably don't need this review, based on how long the line was at lunch. BUT I have to give them a huge thumbs up! Clean, friendly, reasonably priced - perfect little lunch spot. Fresh, made-to-order sandwiches and daily lunch specials. I had the chicken salad that was mostly chicken (instead of a bunch of mayo & fillers) and my friend had the homemade pimento cheese. It was fun to see & hear the mix of regulars ("You want cheddar this time?") and newish folks who got kind help making their choices. If you're close to Whitesboro, Texas, it's worth a visit. read more
