    Worst sandwich place I've ever been to. Bread was hard as a rock. Tons of lettuce with little quality ingredients. I cannot believe the high rating for this place. It was my husband and my first time here and we left without eating most of it. Really terrible.

    I came here because my mom really loves D'Elia's Grinders, so I wanted to give it a try. I ordered the tuna sub and it wasn't great for me. The tuna-to-dressing ratio was off way too much tuna and not enough dressing, so it tasted pretty dry overall. On top of that, the flavor leaned more Miracle Whip than classic mayonnaise, which just isn't my thing. The bread is very hard and crunchy, almost stale tasting, but I know that's how it's supposed to be here. Still, it didn't help with how dry the sandwich felt. The inside of the shop is also very outdated, giving it a real old-school vibe. That said, I understand why longtime locals (and my mom) love this place it clearly has a loyal following. Just not the spot for me, especially for tuna.

    5 is for the food always great and with good flavor. Never disappointed. But the cleaning needs to be done at all times. Every time we come tables dirty and floor too. And people behind the counter always at times standing instead of checking tables or at least to ask if all is well. Service just saying.

    With fresh rolls, generous portions of sliced meats, D'Elia's Grinders offers consistently good sandwiches. I keep forgetting how good this place is and need to remember how reliably delicious and fresh their sandwiches are. They are an institution. The place has been here since 1955! The building is well maintained, clean and organized. Staff is friendly and provides fast service.

    Visited years ago and wanted to stop in again. This classic grinder shop has indoor or patio seating areas. Parking right in front. The toasty bread held a nice amount of veggies great when you're looking for a classic. Service was great and wait time minimal. Order at the counter and pick up. Right off university down the way from UCR.

    Decided to redeem my bday cash with a D' Sicilian, grinder was basically half priced. It was Sunday at 11:30 am. Smooth transaction and while I waited (less than 10 minutes) I noticed great staffing, getting ready for the upcoming rush. Although the place was quiet, customer facing employees should at least appear busy. They were pleasant and helpful, I even bought a 70th t-shirt. The discounts and specials keep me coming back, not to mention the bread! It's the bread!

    Delias Grinders are something special. I moved to Arizona and after every visit ,I never leave California without stopping at Delia's for a ham & provolone grinder. Its not your average sub. The bread is phenomenal!!

    I love D'Elia's. But it's disappointing paying 16$ for a whole grinder and all your getting is practically meat and bread. Been coming for 20 years, but now I have to make sure I always ask for extra lettuce and tomatoes-which is an extra charge. Sad to see.

    So how much meat is on a whole grinder? I am assuming two slices.

    I didn't weigh the meat, but they are very generous with the servings.

    Is there a vegetable sandwich available?

    Absolutely, its the Loaded vegetarian!

    Is D'Elias still offering buy one get one free grinders on game days as long as the Dodgers are in the playoffs?

    Yes they are on game days. Enjoy😋

    Last time I went grinder was dry and not enough lettuce. Was a phone in so didn't know until I got home. Also pasta salad was old and oily?

    Hi, Rebecca. Thank you for the comments. In the last couple of years, we have received hundreds of "too much lettuce" complaints. Just recently, we made an attempt at putting on a more consistent amount of lettuce, and many (not hundreds) like… Read more

Honestly, the line is mainly due to the customers taking their sweet time while ordering. You might have a hard time finding a table to sit at inside, but they also have outside seating. Price-wise you'll probably spend around $15-$20 per person. I highly recommend their grilled chicken sandwhich. It comes with grilled chicken, lettuce and tomato, all on a toasted sourdough bread covered with pesto and cheese. For the side I typically get the Italian pasta salad, which is always delicious. One thing about this sandwhich is that the chicken will never cover the entire bread and it will never be distributed evenly. So you will always have one half that has less chicken and ends up being part veggie pesto sandwhich, which is still worth it. The other favorite is a turkey club sandwhich on a croissant. It's basic, but also very tasty. They also carry a variety of pastries and serve Klatch coffee (brewed coffee) if you need a sweet treat afterward.

Definitely 5 stars for the breakfast Atmosphere inside is very welcoming and cute nothing fancy just an old school feel which I like Customer service 5 stars for sure. Employees have been friendly each time and they bring out food to you on the patio. Unfortunately the location is increasingly a problem at least while sitting outside. Lots of homeless people around some on drugs and some unstable. Last time I was there a homeless man threw an orange at someone who was eating next to me for no reason at all. It's not the first time something happens that feels unsafe and although there's not much the restaurant can do about it it does affect the ambience

I stopped because they nerfed the coupons and rewards system at some point and it wasn't cost effective anymore. I was excited to get another 50% off coupon recently. The menu is largely unchanged from the previous years, with the addition of like 2 or 3 new plates. There is a lot to choose from with a good chunk of those options being high protein. There's just much more variety than other meal prep services and the meals don't get as boring and repetitive. I was a little annoyed that my order arrived about 40 minutes earlier than scheduled, so I had to rush home from the gym to get it. My impression was that several of the plates felt quite light and looked to have suspiciously tiny portions of protein. You can tell by eyeballing that the provided macros are... optimistic. I couldn't be bothered to weigh every plate, but I did weigh the most obvious offender. The Southwest Chipotle Chicken Bowl claimed to be 411g not including the bowl and it weighed 366g with the bowl. I definitely don't trust the labels, as there's simply no way there's 25g of protein in like an oz of diced chicken. Food was fresh (other than the seafood, which I absolutely do not recommend) and tasted good. Overall, I would sort of recommend for the convenience, but be sure to weigh your bowls so you can make sure you're getting what you paid for.
