It's not customizable or made to order unfortunately. All of the sandwiches and flat bread options are sitting behind the counter with flies flying around & the sandwiches are served soggy. I've visited twice now at different times & this was my experience on both visits. I've tried the ugly tomato turkey, the tuna & the blueberry sundae. The sandwiches were okay & quite overpriced at $17-18. I don't like gorgonzola & the first sandwich I tried had very little cheese & more dressing, so I enjoyed it more than the second time when it was swimming in cheese with little dressing but lots of mayo. The tuna didn't have a great bread to fish ratio but I did like the pepperoncini's. The focaccia would've been better if it wasn't soggy. However, I do like that they use sourdough & organic flour in all the bread. The blueberry sundae uses 1-900 ice cream & that vanilla is truly outstanding with the blueberry pie, but it's also very steep in price. You can also get an assortment of wine bottles here & some premade salads in the fridge. They have some indoor & outdoor seating as well, but the ambiance isn't great. It's a shop with long lines at times & only street parking.

Exactly what I was craving. There was a business card taped to the cover on the tray. "Spanky and Son" I googled it and it was directly across the street from the showroom on the little side street between The Cadillac dealership and the Chevrolet dealership. I walked over to this little hole in the wall place...told them how good the sub was that I just had and ordered one to take home with me. The very nice woman behind the counter told me how everything is made fresh and that they have been there for 45 years!!!! Absolutely one of the best subs I have ever had and I grew up in South Jersey so there are plenty of good sub shops to compare it to and I'm not talking about Subway and Wawa. lol. I absolutely recommend Spanky and Son if you want not just a good sub, but a phenomenal one.

While here at Downbeach Deli we sure would like to see 5 stars on every single comment, it is far more important to us to hear what our customers reviews are in person rather than read them here. Whether you are really satisfied with our food and service or not, we want to know it first, as it should be. After all, we are very grateful that you have trusted us for your dining experience and hope you come back again...and again... We have been here for over 30 years, so we must have done something good. We hope to be here for many years to come. With gratitude, Downbeach Deli read more

We ordered the western omelet with a side of tomato and the Westine's Waffle Special with sausage links and a sunny side up egg. Omelet was too greasy for my taste. It was more like a deep fried omelet than your classic diner omelet. The Westines waffle was a little wimpy. Pretty thin and didn't seem fresh. It really reminded me of an eggo waffle but at a premium price. Seems like a beloved local spot and I'd be willing to come back but would get something else. I think this is a dessert place first, breakfast place second if you know what I mean. Classic breakfast (eggs, toast, bacon) seems more like the way to go here rather than omelet and waffle. Service was friendly but not very attentive.
