I preach this place like i was on their payroll haha, but they sell themselves. I have put on so many people to this place. So many options, lots of bottle/cans and a rotating draft menu that carries more than IPAs, nothing wrong with IPAs, i drink them but other types exist. I can always find my funky Sours on tap, and did i mention delicious fresh samiches? Dayum son! Hope nothing but good luck for them, they are a staple in Downey's DNA.

My best friend of nearly 40yrs and I really enjoy a well made sandwich. In our pursuit of great…read moresandos, we've tried Katz Deli in NYC, Brent's in Northridge and even the sorely missed but never forgotten Miller's East Coast Deli in San Francisco. So when, tasked with finding a suitable place for our quarterly lunch meeting, I entered "Jewish deli" and "Downey" into Yelp, half expecting to find the lackluster lineup of national chains that PURPORT to make good sandwiches- Subway, Joysie Mike's, Jimmy John's and the usual suspects of sandwich sorriness! Imagine then, fellow Yelpers, when Uncle Henry's Deli appeared...as welcome a sight as my gorgeous bikini-clad wifey. Both Mick and I, who first bonded over our shared love of the national pastime, immediately likened Henry's with the MLB legend who shares my birthday- Henry Louis Aaron, aka Hamnerin' Hank and the REAL all-time home run leader, Barry Bonds and his oversized gourd, er, head be damned. In his 22yr career, Aaron belied his average size (5ft 11 tall, 185 lbs) and deployed his missile-fast wrists to smack 755 homers. All while playing in Jim Crow era Atlanta. Uncle Henry's Deli, similarly, defies expectations. Who would think of putting a Jewish-style delicatessen in Downey, famous for birthing the honey-voiced Carpenters and the self-styled "Mexican Beverly Hills?!" Mick ordered a super sized Original, which is turkey, roast beef + ham plus cheddar on white. He went with potato wedges which are sizable. Me? I chose one hot, one cold. A super sized Big B (Pastrami, Bacon + Swiss on toasted sourdough, hold the pickles) and an Egg Salad on enviably well made squaw bread, hold the tomatoes. Pro Tip- From a lifetime of ordering well made sandos in every major city in America, never put tomatoes on a cold sandwich unless you want the notoriously water-dense fruit to dampen your sandwich! The only mild drawback of my food order was the side of potato salad, which in my opinion would benefit from some black pepper and minced celery. The service at Henry's is expedient- You've barely helped yourself to one of their dark wood benches when they've called your order! The restroom was, yes, as cozy as the overall venue...but sufficiently clean + stocked. Watch out, tho- The hot water runs hotter than the devil's temperature! In closing, you can take Uncle Henry's to the bank. Yes, you'll part with upwards of a Jackson, mebbe even two. But you'll enjoy the treat, cuz the caliber of food is very bit as real as the hammer (aka Louisville Slugger) that Hamnering Hank used to bash all of his home runs with.

From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by an amazing cashier with great energy who made me feel welcome right away. I ordered the Turkey Pretzel Sandwich, and it did not disappoint. I'm a big guy and I can eat, but even after one sandwich, I was impressed. Fresh ingredients, great flavor, and made with care. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu. If you're looking for an incredible sandwich and outstanding customer service, I highly recommend Woods Deli. Five stars all the way!

I grew up eating the original torpedo back in the 80's and use them as a benchmark for a great sub…read more To date, I haven't found one that stacks up to the torpedo. Drove 45 miles to pick up a torpedo and it was so good. Not many places can keep the quality and taste this consistent. Old school location with street parking and a free parking lot right across the street. Inside you will find dry goods from Italy and the counter towards the back. They have premade torpedoes ready for pickup so no need to wait. Two sizes - get the large one, you'll thank me later! These are premade without condiments but somehow the "dry" sandwiches are so satisfying. Another option to consider if you like hot sandwiches is the meatball sub. Yumm!

But the food seemed very "regular" and I missed out on the hype of the big portions and "worth the price" flavors. There were many menu options and kind service but I wish I could say more about the food. I got the Submarine and really expected much more reading the description. The quality was very much like the sandwiches that you can get in the fridge in the lunch room. I would like to go back for a more "meatier" sandwich but I'm worried for a back to back bad experience. I'll give it another try and hope for redemption

Saw the reviews and had been recommended to check it out so I finally went. Safe to say I was satisfied. Good amount of food for what you pay. Fresh and tasty. They have some seating area inside. I walked but it seems like they have parking in the back because people were entering through the back door. I ordered the Mombo plate which is a choice of sub and 2 sides. For sub I ordered THE 58 CLASSIC and as sides I had their Garlic Pesto Potato Salad and Purple Cabbage. Both good but very garlic centered, I love garlic so I don't mind but maybe next time I'll get something else to balance it better. Service was good. They greeted and answered any questions I had and offered their advice or recommendations when I asked for some.

The Italian scallion had a great balance of savory meats with a nice kick from the scallion spread. The egg salad was creamy without being too heavy, and tasted homemade in the best way.
