Yummy. Local. Calm. Nice employees. The whole package for a small town sandwich shop. The sandwiches won't blow you out of the water, but they are much better than just going to one of the chain sandwich places in Norman. The building itself is pretty grungy and small, but the staff are incredibly friendly and really make the difference. The location can be tricky to find, so I would definitely recommend using your GPS to get there, even if you are just coming from the OU campus. read more

The food is wonderful. But, we witnessed a person, whom we believe to be a manager, behave very rudely to the young lady who was taking orders at the cash register. She took it like a pro, however. Old white guy persona at its worst. read more

This place is all it is cracked up to be!!! A favorite of legendary coach and Sooner icon Barry Switzer, this is a college town type deli to a T. I went with "The Coach," which is a signature sandwich on the menu named after Coach Switzer. It was turkey and pepper jack on wheatberry bread. Got a side of the three-bean salad which is one of three cold deli sides they have available with chips. It is THE BEST I have ever had. Topped it off with a craft beer and it was a solid, but light and average-priced lunch. Would love to come back and try a breakfast sandwich. They also have several different flavors of coffee available. Plenty of seating for a small place and even have an outdoor deck to sit on. read more

Midway.... A Norman classic. The BEST sandwiches in town. (The Vulcan is our obsession). The new outdoor area is so nice too. Love Midway!

Sometimes I just go for the the potato salad! The bean soup is perfect on a cool day, heck it's all good! Try it all, I have!

All the sandwiches are delicious! The Vulcan is my favorite. Their croissants are very good as well.

Potato salad is good but just your typical college ran deli. We had the Arnie and ham and beans but they were really salty.

The soup at this place was recommended to me when I moved around the corner from it in December. I went in for the first time this afternoon and got half a sandwich and a cup of soup, it's too bad I waited so long to try it. This afternoon they had Vegetable Beef & Barley, which the owner explained they started last night with chuck roast an dry barley. It is delicious and it will be truly difficult to go back to my emergency can of Campbell's. The sandwich was also good, I tried The Arnie. If you don't like mayonnaise like me, be sure to tell them because they're pretty generous with the condiments. Since it was my first visit, I also got a free chocolate chip cookie. The cookie alone is enough to keep me coming back. In addition to sandwiches and soups, they also listed pasta on the blackboard and you can build your own sandwich as well as select different combos. Like others have said, it isn't really a grocery. I didn't see an convenience type items either, except for some drinks and six-packs. You can do take-away or there are plenty of tables to accommodate different sized groups. I'm not sure about the hours, but it seems like when I come home in the evenings, they're already closed so I think it's lunch-only. It is a cute place that makes me like the neighborhood even more, plus it's a great change from the chains/campus corner options. read more

I discovered this little gem tucked in between the cute cottage style Norman houses during my final year as a student at OU. Even though I was late in the game, I took advantage of this charming, truly local lunch spot. Even my mom approved this college town, hole in the wall sandwich shop. After OU I moved away then moved back to OKC, forgetting about this little sandwich nook in the center of town. I rediscovered it this fall when under the parental pressure of we're coming to a football game with the family and need a place we all can agree upon. I can't believe I forgot but I'm so glad I remembered. read more

Such a cool little neighborhood secret! My husband and I have ridden our bikes to have lunch here twice thus far, and both experiences were way rad. Laid back, hip and at the same time old town-ish atmosphere. Quick service. Fresh food. Good price. Local. Being vegan, I got the 'veggie everything bagel sandwich' and it was delicious. Fresh lettuce, pickles, banana peppers, avocado, and tomato on a fresh, soft bagel. Absolutely love it. My omnivore husband gets the 'Volcan' bagel sandwich which consists of turkey, cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato, with chipotle mayo. Apparently, it's a local favorite and he most certainly agrees! We are definitely fans of this small, yet magical joint. read more

This place is a really cool deli near downtown Norman, right in the middle of a residential area. I'm not sure why it's called Midway "grocery" because I don't really think you can buy any groceries. If you've never been before, it may seem a little weird and overwhelming because of how small and casual it is. I can see how Claudia C. feels like there's an "insider" vibe. I venture to say, it might have a real "hipster" feel. However, once you get over the awkwardness of it all, the food is really wonderful and I enjoy the casualness of the whole experience. On my last visit, I ordered a TBS and it was delicious! Perfectly toasted. Quality ingredients. I've had the chili from here as well and it is YUM. I know that a sandwich is a sandwich is a sandwich, but Midway seems to put that extra little somethin' somethin' into their food that really makes the difference. They have a small patio out front and I usually like to sit out there is the weather is nice. Midway has a real small town feel, and sometimes in Norman, especially when the semester is in full gear and students are EVERYWHERE, the local small town deli vibe is just what I'm looking for. read more

This is a great little neighborhood deli. You can create your own sandwich - fill out a sandwich form on the counter so your sammy is made to your specifications - or choose from one of their pre-designed options. They also have a different soup each day to accompany their chili, which is available everyday. Although I have not yet tried it, they also serve breakfast. The service can be a tad slow when they get busy, but that's okay with me. Just be sure you budget a bit of extra time when going there over the noon hour. I will definitely be going back to Midway again and again. read more

This place is still awesome! I use to ride my bike over here back in the '80s. They have all the basics here. Unfortunately, they don't sell Gatorade anymore. The sandwiches are great too! read more

Midway Deli - Delis Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

This is a cute little grocery/deli in the middle of a quiet neighborhood just north of Campus Corner. The sandwiches are decent, nothing spectacular, but still good. The potato salad is ridiculous! Would go back to try other options. read more

Midway Deli - Half sandwich and pasta combo. Vulcan and potato salad. - Delis Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

See all

I love Hollywood Corers. So imagine my delight when I discovered that I could get the exact same menu only 5 minutes away from my house?!? SCORE. My favorites are The Tiger and their pasta salad. Dear sweet lordy have mercy on my food-soul. The chili is the secret to this entire business, as far as I'm concerned. Everything has their sweet chili mayo or has the chill in it. It's amazeballs. The food is always fresh, and made before your eyes. Oh, and you MUST have a maple pecan cookie. It's a necessity. Just in case you've never been before, (I was confused.) Go to the far counter and fill out your order. They'll call your name or deliver it to your table--then you pay when you leave. (Don't be standing around awkwardly like I was. o.O) read more

I come here every time I'm in Norman. Best little hidden gem!! My favorite soup is their tomato ( I don't even like tomato soup!) it's an amazing hole in the wall place with friendly staff and delicious food! Come on a good day and you might find Barry Switzer or Toby Keith! read more

Friendly, local and yummy! In the 90's I would always get their cream soda and a tuna sandwich. I lived in Tulsa and would drive to see friends all the time. It was what they recommended and it was right on the $. I still remember it. Now there are certainly more options and all still delicious. I like their bean soup and cornbread a lot. Can't go wrong with any item. read more

This place was great, variety of chips and drinks to choose from and the sandwich menu itself had diverse choices. Fresh food and friendly people. I got a stamp card so I'll be back again. read more

Midway Deli - Roast beast and cinnamon roll - Delis Near Me - Norman, Oklahoma

The Midway is this really cool little piece of local history a color that has been artfully preserved as a deli. It's an old corner market from probably the 30's or 40's that now serves as a deli and market. Has great atmosphere and is worth checking out. read more

Midway Deli is a family favorite. All of the sandwiches are amazing, but I have a soft spot for "The Vulcan." The staff is friendly and fast. Midway has convenient online ordering and will bring your order to the car wearing face masks and gloves when it is ready, something very helpful during lunch hour in covid times. read more

Best sandwiches and employees! One of Norman's finest. Go here for a quick and yummy lunch.

Love these kinds of places! Very local with very good food. Recommend the home made carrot cake for dessert! Local owner with care for each and every customer. read more

Tried it today for the first time and enjoyed it. The service was fast and friendly, food was great and liked the down-home atmosphere. If you haven't been there, it's well worth a try! read more

Midway is great for its atmosphere and fun variety of freshly made sandwiches. However, it can cost up to $15 for a sandwich, drink, and chips, and their hours are horrendous. They close at 6, so dinner is not really an option. And recently when I called at 5:45, they said they'd already closed everything but the front door. I won't be going back soon. read more

The concept is great but the food is pricy for what you get. We just bought $110 worth of sandwiches and they got our orders wrong, the protein and veggies were on the skimpy side and the bread was dry and flavorless. The outdoor seating was lovely, the "grab your own drinks" was a plus and the staff is super friendly. If they would give the customer a highlighter to mark what type of sandwich they want, maybe they would make them with the correct ingredients. The place needs a big remodel or freshening up too. The bathroom is disgusting and the walls and floor are in bad shape. The prep area seemed fine, though. read more

Okay selection food-wise, and good soup. But it has a real insider vibe and feels very cliquish. I can't go in here without hearing rumors about something-or-other around town. Nice if you're in the in group, but otherwise... read more

This used to be my favorite place to go eat. It's local and used to have the friendliest staff around. The past couple trips have been pretty lack luster and I was honestly upset that the lady behind me in line got her order before the dude even started to make my sandwich. Pretty rude if you ask me, but my sandwich was awesome. Get the Vulcan. You won't regret it read more

I hear Midway is now mostly a deli now, and less of a market... But growing up this was THE neighborhood market for my family! We used to walk here all the time and get convenience foods or meat from the deli. They also had great sandwiches, if I remember correctly. This place has so much history, and I'm so glad to know it's still around! I've heard from many people that the food is still great, and the crowd is full of locals, which is cool. Yay, Midway! read more

Love this place. We've never had a bad meal. If you are lucky, you may get to see Barry Switzer having lunch.

Came here the other day and, of course, had a fabulous experience. Great food and great company. My mom wonders where all my money goes... oops read more

The sandwiches here are flavorful. I originally wanted to give this place 2 stars due to a mixup in my order when I ordered to go but decided to give them a second try and got a pretty good sandwich. read more

Nice,chill neighborhood deli. Don't tell too many people about it because part of its charm is that it's a secret. Sandwiches are fresh and they have a lot of variety. I like to sit out on the patio, it's very peaceful. read more

Charming old-fashioned lunch spot. Outside dining, friendly service, local hangout. The Frito chili pie was a little greasy and milder than I expected. The prices were a little bit more than I typically pay for lunch. read more

So delicious and such a great patio. Great variety of sandwiches, which go well with their chips and drink. Yum, a local fav!

Conventional wisdom says try the Vulcan and the 'tater Salad. CW is right. What a great sandwich! The sweet chili mayo makes this Sammy top-notch. The potato salad is excellent as well. Friendly staff (Thanks John!) and great chow will definitely bring me back! read more

I am in love with this place. Absolutely in love with every single tiny thing about it! The sandwiches are sooooo simple, yet so amazing! The potato salad, is insane. It is the best potato salad I have ever had in my entire life! The atmosphere is so cozy as well! It is an old grocery store, re-made into a deli. It is very hipster-ish, I love it! YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS PLACE! It looks a little run down, but it is a must! read more

This is by far my favorite lunch spot in Norman. I went all the time as a student, and try to make it every time I'm in town. They care about your business, and it's a local favorite. read more

Quaint old store but not much meat on the sandwiches. Two sandwiches and water for $32.00. Ouch!!

Awesome little neighborhood deli. Sandwiches are delicious, seemed to be better ingredients - fresh, high quality etc. A nice find!

Best sandwich I've ever had. I got the Michael and it was AMAZING! Perfect blend of banana peppers, cheese, turkey, and mayo/mustard. Can't wait to grab another one for dinner! read more
