Doesn't look like much from the street, and it was my first time here! The Asian lady behind the counter was very nice and very pleased and helpful! I decided on the BBQ Beef sandwich and it was delicious! Sorry no picture, I ate it too fast! The little area inside is open for seating around 14, and a couple of tables outside also! They have a nice array of things on the menu from sandwiches to salads, wraps and melts! I highly recommend this restaurant and I will definitely be back! read more

Stopped in this place, tried The Submarine. Nothing special, meat and cheese sliced too thin. Maybe I'll try something else next time. Family owned, and very friendly. read more

This place is awesome! Food is so good. It's run by two amazing people. It's so nice to see a small business doing well. I don't know how Sue can handle all that is going on up front by herself, and Chris is just as good! Thank you both for your hard work and delicious food! I wish I worked closer so I could eat there more often! read more

Good Reuben Sandwich. Just the right size and not overwhelming. The clientele seems to a lot of regulars. The lady owner is pleasantly friendly and very service oriented. There lots of choices in the menu. Will come back again for sure to try them. read more

This local deli is run by the most kind and hardworking couple. A true mom and pop shop that always makes fresh and tasty sandwiches with quality and care. There has never been a time when I wasn't greeted with a smile and always kept up to date on timing. A true local gem and pleasure! read more

Small shop with a great menu! Prices are good. Family owned and service was quick and efficient.

Friendly service and great tasting sandwiches. Everything tastes so fresh. Would recommend to everyone

Super friendly staff who remembers you, your usual order, and always makes you feel welcome. The sandwich's are awesome too plus the have a great chip selection. No place I'd rather go for lunch or breakfast if I'm in the area. read more

Not bad, simple, clean and good....can't complain..the service is nice I think it's the owner who is really sweet!

Stopped by to pick up a sandwich on the way to a wedding. The lady at the counter was possibly the most friendly person I've interacted with in a while! And the food was delicious. Highly recommended! read more

I've worked a few minutes away from this place for 3 years but I've never stopped by until it was recommended to me.. I'm so happy I did and I am so sad I haven't been coming here all this time!! I'm on a vegetarian kick right now so I got a Vegetarian sandwich. It is so fresh and delicious! I also got macaroni salad and it's among the best deli-style macaroni salad I've had. It's also really really cheap & the employees are so sweet and cheery! I am pretty much already a regular here. read more

Great breakfast burrito and a fair price. We were passing through town and were craving a breakfast burrito. They did not disappoint us.

Sooo Yummy! Great food and quick service! Highly Recommend!! Small shop but so personable on the phone and super nice and friendly. Great place!!! read more

Good food; fair prices; and great service. I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a solid breakfast or lunch sandwich.

Delicious sandwich and great service. I discovered this place today and I love it. Definitely going back. Highly recommend!

This place makes the BEST sandwiches. Period. Do not go here for the ambiance or atmosphere. It's really a hole-in-the-wall kind of family establishment, but the sandwiches are very tasty. The bread is always soft and fresh, and they are generous with their deli meat. These sandwiches are also very flavorful (so much tastier than any of the big chain sandwich shops... or any other deli for that matter). They have a lot of excellent choices on their menu as well. They are closed on Sundays, and open until 3pm on other days. The crowd/line during lunch every day speaks to how good (no how great) these sandwiches are. I have been reluctant to write this review because I don't want to see even longer lines when I go here next time, but these sandwiches are so great that it would be a crime for me to keep this to myself. read more

So yummy! I never thought sandwiches were that appetizing or filling until my boyfriend asked me to go here. I got the veggie sandwich with some modifications (that they were happy to do) and my boyfriend got a bagel sandwich.. SO GOOD. It was extremely filling too! Also, the lady who took our order was awesome, so so sweet! read more

This place has the BEST bacon breakfast burritos :) the lady and man who work there are so nice every time i go!!

Cute simple hole in the wall deli with a DELICIOUS Turkey avocado on a croissant. Honestly so upset I didn't find this place sooner!

The food was delicious. The cashier was super friendly. It's such a nice place to eat and relax. I recommend coming here. I will be returning. read more

Ordered two variety sandwich platters for the 15 family members and the sandwiches were fabulous! The bread was extremely fresh and the variety of sandwiches were very tasty and the meat was fresh! I would highly recommend this place for just a quick lunch or family party... The order was ready when I requested and put together well... Love this place. D read more

Lot of different options here and they're all great. Hot, cold, healthy, unhealthy. Especially recommend their melts. Great chips and drinks options too. Would just recommend calling ahead because it's just the couple running it there and they can get backed up during lunch hours read more

I have been driving past this place a few months now so I decided to check the place out. I ordered a regular Capicola and a Roast beef sandwich. The lady that took my order was very nice and had me walking out the door with my food in about 5 minutes. I was very impressed with the Capicola and a Roast beef sandwiches. I will be coming back for more. Very nice little deli. read more

moved recently from new york, found my new deli. they're incredibly kind, cheerful, and they make a mean sandwich!

Best Deli in Lake Forest! I always do a phone order and my sandwich is always ready on time.. I also do a custom sandwich and it's always correct!! Their breakfast burritos are also amazing.. I order a bunch for my co-workers in the morning and get them cut in half..everyone always loves them!! read more

On the way to work, I was pleasantly surprised to see a food establishment open this early at 6:30-ish. I walked in and the owner greeted me with a warm smile. I greeted him back, then proceeded to order a turkey, ham, & bacon sandwich. It was made to order which I was delighted since it was going to be very fresh unlike premade/stored. The place has a few tables for eating in but I suggest calling in your order to save yourself some time during peak lunch hours. Once at work, I proceeded to stuff my face. I experienced a soft bread texture, mixed with a crunchy bacon snap as I bit down. I gave this place a 5 based on the freshness of the products used to make this sandwich. Price was decent for the huge portions. For me anyways, I still have 1/2 sandwich left for later. Also, the attention to detail, friendly customer service, proximity to work, & convenient hours of operation, thus inclinined me to give it a thumbs up. If you are in the area, please check this place out & support this friendly family owned establishment. Happy TGIF everyone & have a wonderful day! read more

Itz-A-Deli - Turkey, Ham, & bacon bitten. - Delis Near Me - Lake Forest, California

this is a great little sandwich shop! I just wish more people knew about it. This lady needs a round of applause for how hard she works for her business. I felt welcome from the second I walked in to the moment I received my delicious sandwich. I am in love with this place and am craving a sandwich just writing this review. read more

Great place! Nice and friendly I got a beautiful breakfast croissant at 11 am. Nice to see a place serve food I want and not what they want to serve me. I was so happy I came back for lunch. The spicy tuna is the bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Decent little chicken wrap. Not tons of flavour but definitely lean and healthy, as far as I could tell! Your call if you wanna check it out. read more

Locally owned, great sandwiches, low prices. One of my favorites in lake Forest! And their breakfast sandwiches are a great way to start a day read more

I decided to try this place & pick up a sandwich togo since I work around the area. Their menu has so much variety for such a small family-owned shop! There were so many things like a healthy deli section, wraps, soup, salad, sandwiches, and melts. I saw that they have squaw bread and I LOVE sandwiches with squaw bread, but I was in the mood for a croissant today. I got the Lunch Special which included a turkey avocado croissant sandwich, a bag of chips, and a small drink ($7.53). The sandwich was nothing too crazy or special, but it was satisfying & really affordable. Also, the ingredients all tasted fresh so that's a plus. For some reason, their customers are 90% male. I came around 12:10pm on a Thursday and there was a pretty long wait for a small sandwich shop. I waited ~3 min to place my order and then ~10 to receive my order. This might be because there is only one lady working the front..so she literally does everything. Next time I plan on calling ahead of time to avoid the wait. Also, don't expect anything fancy because this is a super tiny restaurant with a few tables and no decorations at all. I rate it 4 stars because of the yummy simple sandwiches & price. read more

Why does it feel like my baby, I and the guy behind the counter are the last people on earth? This place was empty, and the shopping center was dead too! It must be Halloween tomorrow ;) This little place caught my attention from across the street with it's simple name and inviting store front. I love a good deli!! When we walked through the door, we were greeted and then given time to look at the menu. It is a basic deli menu with healthy options, hot sandwiches, wraps and classics. I chose the tuna wrap that had lettuce, shredded carrots, cheese on a spinach tortilla. And, it came with a side of macaroni or potato salad. My total was about 7.50. And the man threw in a few cucumber slices for my daughter! I would definitely go back. It is a clean, quaint, and yummy joint! read more
