Don't be fooled by the size or homey look of the place. It is AMAZING! Best panini I've had in a long time (considering I'm from a country where paninis are very popular) and absolutely the best I've had in this country. Give it a try. You won't regret it. I did, it was suggested to me by a co worker. Very happy I did! read more

Ran by here to grab a smoothie while on a work trip. The owners are very kind, and they quickly made a delicious smoothie that was loaded. I'm hoping to get by here to try a sandwich, but it's obvious these folks put great care into everything they do. I see why this is marked as a local favorite. read more

The couple who run it are really nice and the food is so good! They have a different soup every day and the sandwiches are packed with meat like you'd make them at home. You get a ton of food for the price, really good value. The scenery is really eclectic and I love it. They have several small tables, an outdoor patio, and you wait for your to-go orders on an old church pew. The orders go from the cashier to the kitchen via some kind of zipline contraption and this place even has a bike rack. The only problems you could have is that the drive thru window is really awkwardly tall and you may not be able to reach it if your car is very low to the ground. Also they run out of soup(because it's that good). read more

Get the Boathouse, fantastic restaurant in Longview that really is perfect for a lunch time meal. The owners are super nice, and always have great smoothies! read more

No doubt, the best sandwiches in town ... and many other towns, for that matter. I've been a semi-regular here since they operated from a 50-square-foot box down to the road. Everything made to order with top notch ingredients. read more

Cute spot with fresh home cooked food! Friendly service. We will definitely come here again.

The owner (male) has an attitude. I asked for a small sample to try the gumbo. He said "we don't do samples" a little rudely. I then asked if he guaranteed his Gumbo as I am from South Louisiana and am slightly critical about Gumbo as my wife is one of the best Cajun cooks I know. He responded with "I guarantee my gumbo but not your taste buds". It was off putting. I tried my friends gumbo before either of used our spoons. It was not good. We both thought that it was like chicken sausage soup. It also had a tomato taste which is a mortal Gumbo sin. I had the potato soup, which was good. The sandwiches were also very good. Nice fresh take on ordinary menu items. The owners wife was very nice. Overall I would eat here again but would try to avoid Mr Attitude. I would never ask for a sample of anything from this place. I would give the sandwich quality more than 3 stars but the owners response to my initial request lowered the overall score. read more

I'm not sure why The Boathouse sandwich gets such high praise. Do the customers not have a palate? It was an ok sandwich, and not something I'd probably order again. The chicken salad, if that's what you want to call it, was bland and fairly dry. It's no chicken salad that I've ever seen before. Looks/tastes like one of the canned Libby's chickens shredded up? The $8 price tag was fair since it came with chips and a pickle. Service was friendly and quick, but I can see that they could fall behind easily during a rush. 3 stars for the price and service only. I would give them another try eventually, but not for a sandwich that has "chicken salad" on it. read more

Sub par at best. Boiled can chicken, no flavor, and very slow service. I understand that the chicken salad is actually not a popular item, and I clearly see why. I would never waste another $9 on a person just putting can chicken and calling it chicken salad. read more

Our granddaughter recommended the place, and we're glad she has such good taste. Had a Cuban the first time we went, and it was good. BUT! We had the Shiner Dog for lunch today and loved it! The blend of flavors was perfect! Can't complain about the price either. This sandwich is huge! We will definitely be regulars here. read more

Going here always puts me in a good mood! The owners are nice, and it has a comfortable atmosphere. Everything I've ordered has been great! I can see why some people might think the prices are high, but it is a small business. I will happily pay their prices for a good sandwich and happy visit! read more

Homemade bread? Nope. House-roasted turkey? Nope. The sandwich I ate had (according to the menu) jalapeño (3 rings), Swiss (one half of one slice!), spinach (3 leaves), green onion (never saw it), avocado (lots of this!) and mayo (little bitty smear). I wondered how they would put all the ingredients on one sandwich, and this is how - very little of any ingredient. That said, it was a tasty sandwich, but something I could have made in my kitchen better. read more

My goodness!!! Rarely do I write a review, but I've visited this place twice for lunch. Once in February and just today while in town for business. Hands down the best gumbo ( chicken / sausage) I've ever eaten. Panini sandwiches are awesome too!! I will never go anywhere else for lunch if I'm in Longview...Excellent job guys!!! read more

Such great food! The people are super nice, it's fantastic value for as much food as you get, and I've loved everything I tried here. Get the Boathouse, it's amazing! read more

We get sandwiches to go here at least once a month. The unique combinations of ingredients are amazing. I like the "Ba-Da-Bing", my husband likes the "Fat-Boy" (for obvious reasons). Don't forget to add a Gypsy (Jalapeno stuffed with Pimiento Cheese). read more

a great local place that offers a great lunch bargain. All prices are listed with tax - about 80% of the sandwiches are $7 and come with a pickle and chips. We love the It'll Do Deli! read more

My first time going there today it was really great and the owners were super nice I had the rossy sandwich and I would highly recommend

First time here, but my daughter is a regular customer, cause she's from Longview, but with me living in the ghost town of Daingerfield I don't get to be a regular. But anyways on with the review. I had the March Madness the largest best tasting avocado with a large portion of chicken salad on top! I ate half in house and just got though eating the other half in my house (in ghost town). Really good. I do have one complaint the small area of the restaurant was not ventilated so it was a little unpleasant and slightly smoky smelling, and burnt my eyes and throat. But I will be back again. Great customer service also. read more

AMAZING SANDWICHES. I bought a panini press for my house just because of the sandwich I had here. Multiple types of cheese and cream cheese In a veggie panini. Need I say more? As a visitor to Longview it is a MUST. read more

Best sandwich shop in town! You absolutely must try the boathouse chicken sandwich. I've been going to this place since they were at their old location and it's always been consistently great. read more

I never got to actually eat there thanks to the guy who was taking orders the day my husband and I went in the first time for lunch. I read the menu while we waited to order and was looking forward to trying several tempting selections listed. I asked the guy taking orders how they made their chicken salad and was told it was a secret. I told him I just really wanted to know if it had grapes and pecans or if it was made with pineapple, etc. He still wouldn't answer and proceeded to tell me if I had such "an attitude" that I should probably order something else. I couldn't believe that someone with absolutely no people skills would be put on the front counter to take orders let alone be allowed to have any contact with the customers. Not only was he apparently ignorant of the whole customer service concept, he was arrogant, combative, a little bit psycho and plain old fashioned RUDE! Now if he had had the intelligence to simply answer my question, or better yet offer me a sample spoonful, he would have had 2 new happy customers instead of 2 unhappy non-customers who take every opportunity to tell others about this extremely negative experience. I told him that I wouldn't be ordering anything that day or any other day and we walked out. Bottom line for me is that could be the last food establishment on the planet and I wouldn't set foot in the place. I see the other reviews are positive so maybe he was fired or at least taken off the front counter. Good luck to the rest of you. read more

Looking for a non-standard weekday lunch place? This place makes tasty food. My favorite is the gumbo. The hours and days don't fit my odd schedule so I seldom get there. It is also just a bit pricey for the portions ... but not for the quality. read more

Looking for a fresh idea? This could be for you! I love the atmosphere-hometown goodness. If the weather is pleasant, enjoy your meal outside. Map this one so you can find it. Longviewites know it's across from Kroger's. Great sandwiches, wraps and yogurt! read more

The sandwiches are good, but on the small side for the price. You probably don't want to go here if you're very hungry. My wife just corrected me, "If you're a GUY and very hungry don't go here." We did enjoy the atmosphere and found the owners to be super friendly and helpful in making our sandwich selections. Would I go here again? If someone else in my party wanted to go I wouldn't object, but it wouldn't be my first choice. read more

The gumbo is absolutely amazing! I've been very sick for the last few days and it's the first thing that I've been able to taste. I can't wait to go back when I feel better and get to taste it even more its really good. The beef quesadillas is also amazing! read more

Pretty good deli spot, never had toasted chicken salad so that was an experience. I would return if I had a taste for a sandwich again.

Wonderful sandwiches! Very unique options on this semi-limited menu. Fresh ingredients! I recommend calling in your order for pick up. Oh & my favorite sandwich is the Frank Sinatra! read more

A bit pricey for a sandwich. But really good flavor and good service. Although the place looks small, there is plenty of room to sit and eat. read more

The"boathouse" is my absolute favorite sandwich here. It's a chicken salad, avocado, tomatoes, jalepeno, spinach, Monterey cheese mouth watering panni delight! read more

Most awesome place in East Texas... If your looking for a CLEAN ... Family owned and operated Deli .. Where the family is preparing your sandwiches the only way they should be, grilled hot bread -awesome- look no farther . This is the coolest place to grab a quick home made sandwich .. If there was a 6th star they would get it .. Julie and Kevin run a top notch facility ... The sandwiches all have a taste of history also with Names like Sinatra, Buster.Bada-Bing, Boathouse and plenty more .. Stop by the it'll do deli .. and you will be back for a second round .. read more

I LOVE It'll Do Deli. They have a wide range of fantastic sandwiches, plus they're about 50 yards from the front door of my office. The owners are super friendly, and for those who frequent the place, they make it a point to remember your name. They'll get you in and out in a hurry if they're not busy, but if you go right at noon, I suggest you call your order in ahead of time. I eat here ALL the time. I absolutely recommend it! read more

Great sandwich shop! Had the house with avocados jalapeños and black olives. The best sandwich shop in Longview

Yummy!! I always get the same sandwich, they have good prices and portions, it's locally owned, exceptionally friendly. The owner here was remarkably kind on a particular occasion when I was having one of those days, you know the ones! If u haven't tried the frozen yogurt, you're missing out! Only complaint is they have limited operating schedule, if love to eat here on weekends too! read more

Very good I liked how fresh all vegetables taste Ol scrappy would be my recommendation But everything so far has been very good and I have visited more than 5 times! read more

My favorite place to stop for lunch in Longview! Can't go wrong with anything on the menu but the March Madness is my favorite! And do yourself a favor and get a stuffed pepper while you're at it! read more

Awesome!! Great sandwiches and the prices are low. Thw owners are two of the nicest people I have met. You gotta try it.

The march madness is my go to! Delicious and fresh with the nicest owners in the world! It's a great place and I don't think you can make a bad choice at It'll Do! read more

I can't get enough of this place! I'm not sure if I've eaten there every day in a single week yet, but I've come close! Great food, the price is right, and you genuinely get enough to eat, especially if you get one of their fabulous stuffed peppers. read more

I do not know what it was that I ordered, but all I can say is it was a mucky icky mess of slimy crap. It was some sort of Pannini.... gross to the max... will never go there again. YUK read more

I went here about two years ago. What a great place. I had a chicken salad panini with jalapenos in it with melted cheese. This place is VERY tiny but there is room to eat outside. It can get busy but my client and I called in our order first. read more
