The food was excellent but the portions were a joke. My mom and I are both gluten intolerant so we opted for the GF bread (which she did mention was small) and I said I didn't mind eating the meat that fell off the bread and she looked at me funny. Once the food arrived, I understood why. The entire sandwich was MAYBE 3 inches long and they only filled it w enough chicken salad to fit the bread. And these were nearly $10 sandwiches! I wish I'd gotten a picture but was so shocked they would present this to us as an acceptable portion I immediately went back and requested additional side of chicken salad that equated to the normal portion. I could never have consciously served someone that size food for what they paid. On the other hand, the food was good and the creamy jalapeño soup was TO DIE FOR! Just hope they can figure out a solution to the portions. Especially if you're going to charge extra for GF bread. read more

This is a serious sandwich shop. They take care an attention in building their sandwiches. The meat is piled high and the flavors are spot on. Loved the Ruben sandwich. Served hot with freshly made sauerkraut. Delicious. Loved the creamy jalapeño soup as well. Just a nice zesty flavor to the soup. Service was friendly and fast. read more

What a disappointment! After seeing this restaurant featured on the show Texas Bucket List, we were determined to take a motorcycle ride out there, and try their cream of jalapeño soup. After waiting an hour and twenty minutes for the food, which was a whopping $50 for two sandwiches, two soups, two iced teas and two TINY Dixie cups of bread pudding, we figured, well, it should be worth the wait. WRONGO! The Reuben was a balled up mess of gristly meat with undrained sauerkraut sogging up all the bread, ruining whatever flavor might have been there, although no flavor was detected. The other, a "deluxe" chicken breast panini, was probably the worst sandwich I've ever had. Thin, slimy chicken, with a pile of even slimier onions and an unidentified circle of an unidentifiable meat (see pics below) color of bacon, shaped like processed ham, inedible either way. The famous soup was ok, but after it cooled down, about halfway through the bowl, it was not good enough to finish. I'd suggest getting only a cup of it, if you MUST go here. Understaffing happens, but expensive crap food is another matter altogether. In addition, not a single table was being bussed, so you had to clean off your own table, then sit tight, almost elbow to elbow with other diners. Bad enough when COVID wasn't a thing, but now? Where was management? NY prices, dollar store quality. Will NEVER be back. In hindsight we should have gone to the nearby Subway ... better food at much better prices. read more

Consistently delicious foods! This deli has been serving lucky Goliad citizens in the same location since 2000. You'll be pleasantly greeted by Patty or one of the great staff as you enter her sparkling clean deli. We love their inventive and scrumptious soups, homemade rye, wheat, sourdough (and more) breads, salads, panini, or burgers. Chicken salad is yummy! And the Cream of Jalapeño Soup is the best in Texas according to me and that little ol' Texas Monthly magazine. Ask for a sample if you're not sure you can handle it. No shame here! read more

Stopping in Goliad for a quality picturesque lunch. If you don't want Mexican or fast food, this is the place. Thick tasted sandwiches of all kinds. Hearty soups are good. For $4.99 I got there signature Jalapeño cream soup. It's delicious. For $7.99 I got a chef salad with healthy servings of spring mix greens, meats, cheeses, egg, tomatoes, etc. it's delicious too. Enjoy the sidewalk seating or window seating for the view of the beautiful courthouse and town square. City slickers will appreciate parking right in front of the building. It's a block off 59, but you have to know to turn on Commerce st. Or you'll miss downtown Goliad. read more

We arrived late, but there was just a small amount of jalapeno soup left. Fortunately, there was just enough for us to sample. Boy, was it worth the trip down from Schertz, TX.

Love, love, love the Cream of Jalapeno soup! We arrived on a Saturday just as they opened and the smell of fresh bread coming out of the oven greeted us. Hello! Husband had a club sandwich and shared a portion so I could sample: cheese slices were hearty, meat portions were generous-very tasty, but truly the soup is enough for me! Raspberry sweet tea is also perfect. Please try it. Goliad and the Blue Quail Deli make a great destination lunch spot. There are shops on the square, lots of history in the area and at only about an hour from Corpus, the soup alone is worth the drive.

Just enough room to look at the menu, order, and go wait outside. I opted for the chicken bacon ranch on hoagie. What came out was a decent size sandwich, but incredibly messy and soggy. There was so much juice/ liquid the sandwich quickly became unmanageable and just disintegrated. Look, if you're going to serve a sandwich that messy, please upgrade your napkins. It was a one bite - two napkin ratio. The sandwich was good, but the mess and difficulty eating it just took away any enjoyment. Additionally, the flies outside rivaled the worst I've experienced. Do you remember the scene in the Lost World, Jurassic Park movie when the hunters found the Rex nest!? Okay, okay, maybe not that bad, but it was a lot. Hang some fly bags or strips or somethin'. Found price to be a little high. By the time I bought chips and a drink, plus tip: $22. Just FYI: my co-worker disagrees. He thought it was the BEST SANDWICH HE'D EVER HAD. So, yes, go give them a try, but bring a beach towel for clean up.
