Was in this location picking up some equipment. Saw the deli next door. Menu is a freshly prepared sandwiches. I had the turkey avocado. Soft bread and high quality meat. The pricing is simple and a good value in today's prices. Thank you and always willing to promote high quality small businesses. read more

I stopped in on the recommendation of Frank Cogliano at El Cajon Guitars and Music a few doors down. When I walked in Vicky greeted me and told me of the Specials I Chose the Roast Beef sandwich which proved to be a good choice. Being from Ohio, I'd say I have a good grasp on what constitutes a good Roast Beef Sandwich. Vicky had a good idea about it. For me there has to be a good balance between beef and bread. Vicky wasn't far off, she would have to raise her price to meet my expectations, so this didn't affect my review. Another thing every Ohio knows is that tomatoes on Sandwiches must be sliced thickly. I believe this is a fact no So Cal restranteur has an idea about. Again no stars deducted. PLEASE NOTE: This statement was based on personal preference and was by no means meant to be a put down. All ingredients were fresh and delicious. Vicky listened to my stories and was quite pleasant. I'll definably plan future visits to El Cajon Guitars and Music to include a visit to Friendship Deli. I highly recommend Friendship Deli. Stop in and tell Vicky that Frank's friend George sent you. read more

I come in here almost 3x a week, so I need to start paying it forward with this review. The owner is a very sweet lady and she is very cool about making changes to your order. The cashier is very friendly and the customer service is great! I work in the area and I usually dont want to travel far to grab a bite so this place is ideal if you work in the area. They have delicious tortas and there is usually is a special going on. Try the chocolate chip cookies, she makes them in the morning so theyre always fresh. Sometimes there can be a bit of a lunch rush, but for the most part theyre really quick at getting out food. Its cheap, convient and delicious. Thanks for feeding me on my lunch!!! read more

Have been enjoying salads from here during this whole covid ordeal. Salads are always fresh and very tasty. Love the ranch dressing. Highly recommend. read more

My wife's been a regular customer from the beginning and once I was treated to Vicky's awesome offerings, it's a regular choice for us often. Always fresh and delicious with great variety. If you like spicy, ask for the jalapenos and Sriracha mayo. You'll be hooked. Vicky's Pesto pasta salad is my favorite with sun dried tomato that sparks it to a delicious bud twangin' level you have to try. You're losing money if you don't visit Vicky's Friendship deli. read more

Fast and easy. Everything is made fresh in the morning. I will be coming back. Perfect amount of food for the price. The lady working there is so sweet. So glad I found this place! I could walk there and not worry about losing my parking at work. read more

Vicky is so incredible! Always fresh! She makes everything herself, daily! Great choices...you won't be disappointed! I don't know how they have a 3 $$$ rating?! The prices are phenomenal! I'd say perfect price point! get lunch for less than $10 and much healthier than fast food drive thru. read more

The owner is SO nice, such a sweet genuine person. Everything tastes amazing. The tropical smoothie is so fresh and smooth, it's perfect. Once I heard about this place from a co-worker, I started going almost every day. You can't beat $5 for a sandwich and a drink/bag of chips. Her shop is always busy, I feel like that speaks for itself. read more

Oh my goodness, went here on a whim because my coworker recommended it to me. Don't regret it at all! Seriously the nicest/best customer service I've experienced in a restaurant and delicious food! I'm a new regular for sure. read more

Grat friendly service. Clean and organized. Located in the industrial area but great to go get a bite. In and outdoor sitting.

The owner is such a sweet lady. She is always smiling and explaining what you are paying for. She's willing to make new sandwiches if she doesn't have one you want. It's such a great deal $5 for a sandwich and chips. She makes sure to acknowledge people as they come in and leave. read more

So, I discovered this place on Yelp. It had good, recent reviews and the food looked yummy and what I was in the mood for. So I decided to give it a try, due to the fact of how close it was to my workplace. I was greeted by Vikki, the owner. She was very pleasant! The food displayed was very promising and there are a lot of options for snacks as well. They offer a variety of sandwhichs, snacks pasta salads and drinks, all at a low price. You can also mix and match half sandwiches, for only 8 bucks! Chips included! I ordered the club sandwich, and it was delicious!! I will definitely be recommending to my co workers and visiting very soon to try the other sandwiches she offers. Thanks for being to king Vikki! read more

It was exactly what I was looking for and everything tasted fresh. They had a small selection of chips, but a large selection of beverages. All in all, it was good food. read more

So I work about a block away from this place and have seen 3 ownership changes over the last 3+ years. The first owner and her team was amazing, they had a variety of fresh and delicious foods and I'd crave all the goods on my days off. The second owners were far less successful. The food was often moldy and there was a new person working every time I went in, so there was no consistency. The was an older gentleman that was very sweet, but often asleep at one of the tables. Now, the third person to own it is the sweetest, most delightful lady! Myself and all of my coworkers adore her!! The selection is a bit limited, but everything I've had there is fresh and delicious, every time. My favorites are the tuna fish sandwich, the Greek salad and the Asian salad...sooo good and prices are very reasonable!! I'm thrilled to be conveniently located to the Friendship Deli on days I don't pack a lunch or just crave the food! read more

This food is FRESH! There is a good selection and the owner is happy to make any custom changes as needed. The environment is extremely clean and welcoming, the service is fast and accurate, and did I mention the food is FRESH! So happy to have this nearby! read more

Vicky is the best!! Shes always so considerate and helpful. My lunch is never missing anything. Utensils, napkins, and extra sauces if needed. If what I am looking for is all sold out, she would put together the item I am looking for. It's perfect for a short and ready to go lunch for work. read more

So I made a review on this deli almost a year ago when the company I work for moved across the street. I was not impressed what so ever. Well there is a new owner now and i have to say she's changed the place quite a bit! Her sandwiches are really good and fresh with a nice variety and the salads look great! I vowed I wouldn't go back but when my coworker went in to get a drink one day the owner sent her with a sandwich as a sample and I decided I would give her a chance. Definitely impressed with this change. I would recommend this deli to anyone! Great job to the owner for a wonderful change. read more

This place is great! The sandwiches and salads are always fresh. The owner, Vicky, is always friendly and flexible. She's always willing to make your food just the way you like it. Only having half an hour for lunch makes it hard to go out and grab a bite but who needs to when there's great food just a few steps across the street? Even if you're coming from farther away, it's worth the drive to hit this place up. read more

Vicky is the absolute best! Always greets you with a smile and warm hello! The sandwiches are great! The Veggie has been a recent fave for me, it's stacked with goodness! Though every other sandwich I've tried was awesome as well. I love that I don't have to drive somewhere for lunch (on days I don't bring my lunch to work), especially when the Santee Mission Gorge area is a nightmare around lunch time! it's only 3 doors down from work! (Johnstone Supply) a few other co-workers also go to Friendship Deli. Great place! Give it a try. read more

New owner took over this place about a week ago! A very good selection of salads and sandwiches to choose from with very reasonable price! Will definitely go more often for lunch when I am in the area! read more
