First visit certainly will not be the last! If you have heard of Herban Wolf Deli and haven't stopped in - change that ASAP, you will not be disappointed! My wife and I both enjoyed the Pyre - which was the special of the day - DELICIOUS . The smoked turkey, bacon, smoked gouda, arugula, their signature campfire sauce, all on a grilled rosemary panini - when I tell you this sandwich means business, it truly slaps. We also tried the Nordic Potato Salad, which was equally as tasty, had a lot of herbaceous flavors with perfectly cooked pillowy potatoes. As I mentioned, if you haven't gotten here yet - make it happen ! read more

Herban Wolf Deli is the best place in Anoka for a sandwich! I really liked the ambiance of this place with the black and green theme giving it a modern pop, but still warm vibe. The service staff were all very friendly and gave great item recommendations for first time comers. They've got a rotating sandwich special as long as several staple items to choose from. It's definitely worth checking out if you want a fresh, hot, panini style sandwich in the area! read more

Well after seeing so many people trying this place, I KNEW we just had to get over here! Already a strong contender for a top 10 Best foods I ate for 2026!! We tried The Valhallapeño(wolf dog of the week), Ostara, and Bramble! They were all amazing!! But I am getting ahead of myself! There is street parking(free) an open lot next to the building with free parking and a free parking ramp. The inside of this place is cozy and cute! I honestly felt like I had been transported to Duluth! Just enough decor without over doing it. The woman who took our orders was FANTASTIC!! From the moment we walked in to the moment we left, we felt very taken care of. She was constantly taking orders, talking with guests and cleaning! She definitely added to the cozy hospitality vibes! The food: The Ostara was delicious! So well done and my boyfriend devoured it quickly!!! The bramble caught my eye for its unique flavor profiles and it did not disappoint! So many flavors and yet it works so well!! We split the wolf dog of the week- The Valhallapeño. BEST HOT DOG IVE EVER HAD!! Again, so many flavor profiles and it was delicious!! Don't skip on the drinks! The diet root beer was SO good and the hibiscus lemonade was light and refreshing!! We will FOR SURE be back!! Their menu is weekly rotating, so if you don't see something you like this week(impossible) next week may be your week!! read more

Simple menu, fresh ingredients and one main item, delicious sandwiches! There was one soup, but the main focus was sandwiches. I had the Woden, a fancy grilled cheese with basil pesto sauce. So flavorful and filling but definitely could not finish it. Got a bit heavy. But oh it was so crispy and buttery, delicious! One vegetarian sandwich on the menu, no vegan options. Free street and public parking nearby. Staff was working fast and kept things moving and clean. Looks like a busy place with a lot of repeat customers. Worth a check out for lunch if you are in the Downtown Anoka area read more

Great little sandwich shop in Anoka! These panini sandwiches are made fresh to order and was delivered hot and delicious. I opted for the Du Nord - which is like a Ruben. The corned beef was so tender and the sauce was amazing. Pickles had a little kick to them, very yummy. I can't wait to go back and try other options! read more

Another visit to Herban Wolf Deli. You guys just blow all other sandwich shops out of the water. Still giving 5 stars but 2 things I found I didn't like. This was the first sandwich I've ordered that came with arugula. I don't mind green leaves in a sandwich but it had quite a few woody branch twigs that I had to remove from my mouth. Also, beer cheese was the soup special for the week. I love beer cheese soup. However, it was broth based. Really runny like water. I prefer thick, creamier soups. So that was a bust. I'll l need to remember to ask next time. Tried a new side... potato salad (red, skin on). Not my mom's... her's is the best, obviously. But this was 2nd best. Way better than anything you'd find at the grocery store. read more

Are you looking for the perfect sandwich? Look no further. Nestled in the heart of downtown Anoka, is Herban Wolf Deli. Inside is a cozy, yet modernized seating area. I ordered the Ostara and decided to try their pickle based pasta salad that was in the cooler - and both were absolutely fantastic. The sandwich had a perfect balance of all the ingredients, and not to mention, the sandwich is HUGE! The staff was friendly and upbeat, and I can't wait to come back and dine in next time. read more

Cute little place, walk up to the counter to order. The lady at the register was helpful and patient. We got the bramble and green man. With a side of the pickleback pasta. Also a Key lime bar. The food is delicious, we all loved the bramble. If you like pickles the pasta salad is a must. The key lime bar was also very good. My only complaint is it's a little expensive especially with no side included with the sandwiches. $48.66 read more

We were at Ginny Bites around the corner and decided to stop in for lunch. We arrived just after 11am and it was slow, by 11:30am it really fills up. We had the VooDoo which is like a Muffaletta and excellent. My husband raved about the Ostara. Both were served panini style and hot. VooDoo (Genoa salami, smoked ham, pepperoni, fresh olive mix, smoked mozzarella and swiss served on rosemary schiacciata) Ostara (Smoked turkey, hickory smoked bacon, fontina, avocado and house-made creamy basil served on rosemary schiacciata) Service is friendly. Order at the counter and then have a seat. read more

Excellent food!! I really liked the decor/ambience too, very woodsy forest vibes. I got the spicy tuna sandwich and I loved it! Spicier than I thought and delicious. One of my favorite sandwiches I've gotten around town. The menu was a little unclear. I didn't see any sides listed anywhere and frankly for $17 there should be some chips with the sandwich! Soda is also sold separate but plentiful options. The menu mentioned a combo of half sandwich and soup but only one soup was listed. Not sure if that was all they had for soup. Service was excellent though! I would definitely go back! read more

My goodness this place NEVER disappoints-from the regular menu to the weekly specials including the spicy tuna, I've always been delighted. Portions are huge so come hungry - their pickle back pasta salad is a must try or if you're too full, get it to go! Anoka staple and hidden gem!! read more

Herban Wolf Deli - Special menu item - spicy tuna salad with jalapeño, avocado, arugula, pesto, chipotle aioli on grilled Italian sourdough - Delis Near Me - Anoka, Minnesota

Walked into this Deli without knowing what to expect. To be honest I didn't even know this place had opened up. Definitely a great addition to downtown Anoka. It's a cute little place with friendly staff. We ordered three different sandwiches and the wolf dog of the week. The wolf dog was devoured in no time. It was by far my favorite out of all the sandwiches we got. I only remember two of the sandwiches we got. We got the Woden which had Smoked Mozzarella, Fontina, Swiss, Sun dried tomato and Basil pesto on Sourdough. You can add meat if you like. Second sandwich was the Ravn with Pastrami, Provolone, red onion, pepperoncini, oil, balsamic, Dijon mustard and herbed Mayo on rosemary schiacciata. They also have pasta salads available. I am such a sucker for pasta salads. We got three different kinds of pasta salads. The pickleback pasta salad, deviled egg pasta salad and Elote pasta salad. All three were delicious but the pickleback was my absolute favorite with crunchy pieces of pickles, dill, Smoked gouda and lots of love put into it. All in all everything was good and we will certainly be back. read more

First time trying the Herban Wolf Deli and we're definitely going to go back again. Located in an old building in Anoka with some other neat business, they are using the space in an interesting and welcoming way. You'll walk up a ramp to the order counter and a dine in area. Seating area faces the street with good sized windows. We arrived shortly after they opened and there were people waiting for to go orders and people dining in, including some Sheriffs, so you know the food is good. We were greeted right away by the counter staff and I shared that it was our first time and they gave us a great in service about the menu and specials. They have a daily special called the Wolf Dog ($9) and we ordered the last one available. Each day is a different Wolf Dog option, so be sure to look at the small board by the kitchen window or ask. Today's WOLF DOG OF THE WEEK: the Reykja- ¼ lb all beef dog, topped with hickory smoked pork, BBQ sauce, pickle chips, house-made coleslaw, crispy fried onions and smoked paprika We wolfed that down and were hard pressed to share any with our dog. We ordered the Ravn ($13) sandwich too and that was good. Cherrywood smoked pastrami, provolone, red onion, golden pepperoncini, oil, balsamic, Dijon mustard and herbed mayo on rosemary schiacciata. The bread was a bit crispy for recent dental work, but the flavor was wonderful and aromatic. Don't forget to turn around and see all the delicious salads and other tasty take home foods. Lots of Minnesota businesses represented. Here's a sampling: Soup of the Day - $6/cup Pickleback Pasta Salad (pickles, dill, smoked gouda, magic) - $6 (8oz) $11 (16oz if available) Bacon Blue Cheese Potato Salad - $6 (8 oz) $11 (16oz if available) Hal's Chips - $3 T-Rex Cookies - $6 Give this place a try, you won't regret it! read more

Vibe is definitely something you would see in So Lake Tahoe or Colorado which if you can tell by my reviews i tend to gravitate towards anything that makes me feel like i am living there...with a perfect lunch menu with something for everyone and I am all pesto about it.. Glad this place is a hop skip and jump over the bridge from us!! With friendly staff welcoming you as soon as you walk in! I got the Woden with bacon added which is my pesto dreams of pesto, cheese, sun-dried tomatoes on sourdough bread. I make something similar at home but let's be real my Costco pesto doesn't even compare to what they are making fresh. Nate the great got Bruni which has ALL the thing smooshed on schiacciata. Like what a combo of all the meats with this bomb a$$ sauces of honey mustard and maple chipotle... Then because you know ive gotta taste test everything and Nate feeds into me with that need and i got the famous Pickleback pasta salad which can i please also have this made as a potato salad too cause id kill that! Then they rolled out a summer salad of orzo asparagus lemon parmesan and all the flavors that makes you feel SUMMER! This will be my new lunch spot as Anoka tends to be my place to visit! read more

Visiting from San Diego. I got the Voodoo on the special item list. Haven't had a hot sandwich in a while but this was really good! Definitely would order again. Didn't try any of the special sides, just got some chips. Definitely recommend!!!! read more

The VooDoo sandwich is outstanding. The olive salad mix in the sandwich is delicious. Reminds me of a New Orleans muffuletta. Spotless interior and super friendly, helpful staff. read more

High quality sandwiches, very friendly, owner/operated. If you value talking directly with the cooks and owners of the eatery, then check these guys out! Very fair prices for food made with love. Very cool decor, theme, simple menu. My wife and I each got a sandwich and we split a tiny pasta salad, and had to take half sandwich home. Super grubbin' sandwich with tons of flavor! This is not your $10 foot long, flavorless, chain, no love, cheap option. Great place for a day date, kid friendly, family friendly, but also hip and cool spot to have a cold beer or a NA pop, and crush a huge sandwich! Well done! We will be regulars! read more

We got two paninis to go and they were both really good. The dill pasta salad was also super good. We'll be back for sure!

What a hoppin little spot. Must try place with a great feel. Everything I've tried is delish!

So so SO delicious! I've been here a handful of times and I'm always wowed by the flavors and freshness of the food. The staff are super friendly and the atmosphere is great too. What a special place! read more

We have found our "Go To" place to eat! Unbelievably delicious! The ambience was a cozy relaxing atmosphere and the staff was great! We will be coming back here often! The serving size is huge! 5+stars! Thank you Herban Wolf! read more

The sandwiches are delicious. The staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and friendly. They are able to accommodate gluten free and other special dietary considerations. Easy parking. read more

Stopped in at end of their day, picked up a Pyre and a Bruni for the Mrs and I. Also grabbed the pickled pasta salad and blue cheese potato salad. The staff was very attentive and yet gave time to determine what to order, got as take out and headed home to munch. Sandwiches/Panini's were great, nice crisp/tender combo, healthy portion of meat and fillings. Not overpowering on the seasoning or sauce/spread. Salads were very good as well, the fresh seasoning/herbs certainly explain the "herb" in Herban Deli. The potato salad was a nice compliment to the other Pickled pasta salad, Two entrees and a large salad small salad came out to $46, added a 20% tip so it wasn't clear, but the quantity was enough for 2 meals, we could have split 1 sandwich/entree and had the salads and been set for another meal. Probably order 1 and split next time. Great food, fresh and complimentary flavors will ensure a return visit! Well worth the stop, and great parking in the area, plenty of seating inside if you want to dine and then walk the shops in downtown Anoka read more

Cutest place ever! Has so many amazing items, fun sodas crafted in Minnesota, and delicious Chips and sides. The staff here were so sweet and knowledgeable of their items. Great service and atmosphere! read more

Honestly....i feel like it was Oscar Mayer meat with an over abundance of toppings and flavors that ended up making it bland.

Met the owner at Mavericks back when they only had their food truck. Had to check it out while he was parked up at Garphish Brewing in Bethel. Great sandwiches and pastas! Just be sure to get there before they run out for the day. read more

Definitely one of the best food trucks in the Twin Cities - 5 stars! This truck serves excellent flat pressed style sandwiches. Despite the Nordic Viking type sandwich names, they have a distinct Mediterranean or Italian vibe...provolone cheese, pastrami, salami, peppers, olives, tomatoes, various flat breads...you get the idea. And they are off-the-hook great! The portions are generous too. I really love the unique sides, beverages, and desserts. On the day I visited, I grabbed a Northern Soda Company "root beer" flavor "craft soda" (made in Arden Hills, MN). As a side I ordered a small bag of Dirty Potato Chips "Funky Fusion" flavor "deli style" (made in Hanover, PA). For dessert I got a giant T-Rex Cookie (made in Eagan, MN) and a small bar made by Maverick's Wood Grill Restaurant (made in Champlin, MN). Herban Wolf Deli used to occupy a small bricks n' mortar spot in downtown Anoka, in the basement of the old Post Office building on Main Street. These days, they're strictly a food truck operation. And what an impressive operation it is! These folks are great. Finally, the workers and the owner are really nice and down-to-earth. I really enjoyed chatting with them. I also appreciated that they delivered my food to me inside the brewery. This is the only food truck I've been to (so far) that delivers directly to your table inside a venue. I visited them at the beginning of the pandemic in the old basement location - curbside pickup. Now it's only the truck. I'm bumping them up from 4 stars to 5 stars. They definitely deserve it. Thumbs up! -Maxx read more

Wow wow wow. We will definitely be back! Great sandwiches and soups. So many layers of flavor.

The food was great, the service was great, and it was such a cute spot to stop in for a quick lunch! Will definitely be coming back!

Tasty panninis, some were a bit too salty. Cute deli with cozy dining area. Counter service is friendly and helpful. Pyre sandwich was delicious with turkey, bacon, sundried tomatoes and wonderful bread. Folklore sandwich had Italian meats and pesto, but was way too salty for us. Pickleback pasta salad was tasty, but again, far too much salt. Would return to try other items. They have a soup and half sandwich special for $10. read more

Had a Voodoo sandwich which was Genoa salami, smoked ham, mozzarella, and an olive dressing similar to a muffuletta . All on a giant panini. Wonderful! Would have given 5 stars but service was rather slow. But they only opened recently so they may get speedier as more employees become available during the summer. It is a small place but very tastefully decorated. Good to have some really good restaurants finally opening in Anoka. read more

It's so great to have a yummy deli in downtown Anoka! My coworkers and I frequent this place often and are never disappointed! Great service as well as other good for sale that have become faves! read more

There sandwiches are to die for. This is my first time leaving a review in my life lol. Try the ostara if they have it!

New awesome sandwich shop in downtown Anoka. The sandwiches are absolute flavor bombs. I've been here multiple times and tried different sandwiches each outing. You literally can't go wrong. Staff is always nice and super friendly. read more

Slow....premade food that they ran out of before the day was over and they have 4 things on the menu to choose from lol 25 mins for premade food (no big rush of people or anything just took that long for the premade food to be reheated), nothing special just sandwiches. read more

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Herban Wolf Deli. We were having a small wedding reception at our house and wanted a food option that was Covid friendly. I reached out and heard back the next day. We gave them a list of what our guests wanted a few days ahead of time so that they would be sure to have what everyone wanted. To say the food was AMAZING is an understatement!!! The selection of drinks, chips, and cookies kept everyone happy. EVERYONE was raving about it. It was hot, fresh, and unique. I would 1,000% recommend them!! read more

Absolutely fantastic paninis and various pasta salads! If you haven't tried one yet you are for sure missing out! Check out the social media pages currently to see which location they are at that day! These paninis sell quick so hurry up and get one now! read more

Coming here for take-out was a really good choice. Not only were the people nice and friendly, but the food comes in bigger portions especially their sandwiches. What I really like was how not only was the food made fresh, but they used fresh ingredients. Eating the corned beef sandwich, or #1 was really enjoyable especially since they actually gave you good sized portions of beef, cheese and other toppings. It is a whole lot better than fast food, and I really feel I am getting my money's worth. Getting it to go was worth the visit. Especially to go back there again sometime soon. read more
