You could eat here for a month and have a different sandwich every day! Their "special" is the way to go: a half panini & a small soup (4 oz) for only $10.50. I tried their chicken noodle paired with a "Thyme Pleaser". Also recommend getting a scone to go with your meal. They are about the size of a small dinner roll & have a cheese flavoring to them. Will be back to try their fresh tuna & chicken salads (including apple cranberry) in the future. Just note they do have limited hours during the week.

From the moment you walk in, you're treated like a regular even if it's your first time. The ingredients are always fresh, the portions are massive, and you can tell they actually care about the food they're serving. So far, I have not been disappointed with any of my orders.

I was at work and craving a breakfast sandwich, so I checked Yelp and found Dave and Charlie's…read moreHometown Deli. I decided to give it a shot, and I got greeted as soon as I walked in. The staff was super friendly, and I ordered a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese. It was made on a Brioche roll with a fried egg. Honestly, I wasn't a huge fan of the egg or the sandwich overall. It was okay, probably a three-star kind of thing. Next time I went back, I tried the Calise sandwich, which has chicken cutlet, broccoli rabe, roasted peppers, fresh mozzarella, prosciutto, and balsamic glaze. I asked for the broccoli rabe on the side because I know everyone makes it differently. I get that it can be bitter, but some places make it taste amazing without the bitterness, so I wanted it on the side. The sandwich was really good, so I'd give it four stars, especially since the breakfast one was just three in my book. Sometimes you gotta visit a place a couple of times to really get a feel for their food. I wasn't really a fan of the broccoli rabe--it was a bit too bitter for me. But the sandwich itself was tasty, with well-seasoned chicken and really fresh mozzarella. Not sure if they make the mozzarella in-house, but it's delicious. It tasted just like you'd expect from an authentic Italian deli. Very good. Third time I went, I tried the Mother Clucker, which has a chicken cutlet, Russian dressing, cheddar cheese, and bacon. I wanted to try it because I'd seen it being made during my last visit and it looked awesome. It took about ten minutes to get ready. When I opened it up, I realized it had melted cheddar, not sliced like I thought, but it was all good. The sandwich was tasty, but a bit over the top with the bacon and melted cheddar--almost too much. I think using sliced cheddar would bring everything together better. The melted cheese kinda takes away from it, in my opinion. The bacon was crispy even with the cheesy sauce on top, and the chicken was nicely seasoned. I definitely plan to come back and try the Chopped Italian Combo. The staff's always friendly and welcoming, and it's a solid spot if you're looking for breakfast, with plenty of breakfast platters and other menu items that might catch your eye.

Went twice- one time they ran out of eggplant. I don't know if that means they never have it and…read morejust said they ran out or actually ran out. Transparency would be good. Second time I went and it was listed as open 10am on a Monday. Called and went immediately to no answer. Showed up and said closed today on a sign. Very inconvenient. People show up, they should set their voice message to closed today but they don't so people like me waste their time driving back and forth 20 minutes. I hope you enjoy your day off but would appreciate if you respected my time too. This is one of my pet peeves with small businesses. At least make you're phone work and set a closed message with the date

She mentioned her aunt owns Mike's deli. Enter our appetite, enter Mike's deli. Hailey, the counter person helping us was so helpful and patient- one of the most helpful and patient people I've ever interacted with at a store. She answered our numerous questions and called over the manager when she didn't know the answer to our Yelp free beverage when you purchase a sandwich check in. I got the chachi sandwich on a hard roll, all my hopes and dreams have been fulfilled- what a delicious sandwich. My friend got the Budda, she said it needed vegetables and the bacon was really good. I got a kombucha hemp drink made locally in CT for my free bevvie and my friend got a Joe's Berry Lemonade. My friend is looking forward to returning here regularly on the way to her job to pick up some lunch. They have an extensive sandwich and breakfast selection, tons of drinks and snack options, coffee and tea, and a yogurt bar to make your own parfait. They also have an atm, and sell milk by the half gallon and gallon. There are 3 tables inside a few parking spots out front that's a little hard to get out if you're going to the highway and really good small town vibes inside. I'll be returning here to get my Chachi fix when I'm back in town. They open at 5:30AM pretty sweet. They do breakfast all day. What's not to love?

When I tell you, that biscuit ain't close to the word "dry". That biscuit was so good, it literally melts into your mouth. It also has a ton of flavor! The lemonade is homemade and you can tell. If you do not like seeds in your lemonade, do not get it. I don't mind, I like having to bite the little seeds lol. It was an alright lemonade, but definitely wouldn't get again for $6. There is seating in the establishment and everyone is incredibly kind. This is a place I'd say gives a community vibe, and through their actions it shows that they care about their customers. Would definitely come again!

I didn't want breakfast breakfast because the home fries looked off, looks like it's buffet style and not prepared to order. Last time I got a chicken cutlet sandwich in the morning (at a different spot) they gave me left over chicken that must've been days old, so I was scared to try that again so early in the morning, but went for it anyway. I was a bit nervous when the order came out so quick. Luckily it didn't taste old, but I feel like it was prepared the day before and/or placed in the freezer because of the texture of the bread crumbs. It probably could have cooked a bit longer, there were some pink tough areas in the chicken, or maybe that's from it being frozen and defrosted unevenly. I grabbed a beef empanada. I like that it didn't feel greasy. It was loaded generously. I don't like that it tasted so dry though. If the beef was juicy or a little saucy, this would have tasted better. The owner Mario and female working there were so friendly that it hurts me to give them a low rating. I won't stop by here again.

I have been going to this deli for 30 years or more. I've…read moreseen the owner of this place work very hard to build the business. Do not pass this place up. Do not leave without one or several of the ready-made hand pies in the hot box displayed on the counter. Chicken, Ham and Cheese, Beef. Chicken is my favorite. Tender, shredded chicken mildly but flavorly spiced with a special and perfect combination of salt, white pepper I believe, perhaps onion powder, there a bit of red which I recall may be pimento, and my favorite part is the bits of boiled egg. Each bite gives a slight crisp from the pastry wrap and then a moist euphoria of satisfaction that you can eat on the go, or bring to the people you love. My daughter loves the ham and cheese, warm melty and delicious. The beef I do not get often, but you get the idea. I LOVE this place and I see the dedication and love the owner has put in here. I know he will choose to retire one day, and I will always remember this man and his amazing pies.
