A great clean location. Richards offers a large variety of items. My coworkers and I like to come here for the many choices, portion sizes, value and great taste, the staff is always busy but will take the time to answer questions about their menu. read more

It has been many years since I was in Richard's, and it is under new ownership. I rarely get takeout, but I was looking for a salad for lunch and Richard's had a nice selection. As another reviewer mentioned, it was nice to see the old favorites on the menu, as well as a few new offerings. I ordered the Green Goddess Salad, and was very pleased. The ingredients were all extremely fresh--even the bacon seemed as though it had just been cooked-- and the young woman who prepared the salad did so with care. The deli was impeccably clean, and would have been a pleasant place to sit and enjoy lunch. Everything has gone up so much recently, but the price of the salad was on a par with those at other local restaurants, and the quality was excellent. I'll be returning! read more

I sleepy Deli and Spring Glen provides a nice lunch at a reasonable price. I have lived in Spring Glen many years ago and gone to Richards under ownership at that time, the place was a madhouse the line was a cool around inside and you would be jockeying for position for your next purchase a decade or so has gone by and the economy has changed. In the meantime, I think Richards has been sold to a nice Korean couple. They have put their spin on the menu, keeping many of our favorites but adding some specialties. I enjoyed a nice roast beef special, chips and a Fanta. Everything was hot, fresh and deeply made. I will be returning because they have snuck in few Korean delicacies like bibimbap Which are only available on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. I can't wait to try the homemade bibimbap. read more

So far, so good! I've been here twice recently (picking up once for myself, and today for someone else) and really like this place. The people working here have been very friendly (the owner I assume, the guy making the sandwiches). Polite, eager to help. They have a pretty decent sized menu of sandwiches, salads, wraps, paninis, etc. I just got a simple tuna salad sandwich last week and it was very good. They just put what you ask for and no issues either time. The place is welcoming and there are a few tables for people to sit (and not super cramped if they do). I would say that their posted menus need some reorganizing. When you come in, there is one menu on the wall to the right with salads/sandwiches/wraps...then over the counter is a small breakfast sandwich menu. Then all the way to the left in the back corner is one of those Boar's Head menus with the basics. In front there is a glass case with some side dishes with signs for additional foods/meals you can order. I think one, large streamlined menu would make things a lot more clear so you can look at all your options in one place. Otherwise the menus are all over the place. But I'll definitely come back - convenient, great to grab a quick sandwich (both times it's taken maybe 3-4 minutes to get everything all set). And they have a bunch of parking outside so that makes it easy in and easy out. read more

We all understand how expensive everything has gotten in the last few years. I get it. But today I got a turkey sandwich, with ONE slice of bacon (my request) with lettuce on a hard roll. And a can of seltzer. I was charged $18.00. That just isn't justifiable. Done. read more

We just had our first lunch order delivered. I had the Millbrook sandwich. It was simply one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The ham and turkey were perfect, the roll was fresh, the toppings were wonderful. Will be ordering from them again and again. read more

I have to say I loveeeeeee this place. I am a very short walk from this place and everytime I go the staff is great. I love the owner and his friend Curt they are so helpful. Each time I go they know me by name, and they always ask me how my life is and go out of the way to make me happy. I agree with others that the prices are a bit high, but this is a typical mom and pop type place, just trying to get by. The owner has kids that are going to college, so I would rather spend my money here and support small, local business, than go to McDonalds to get my coffee. That is just how I feel. Overall the place is great and their salads are huge!! They have fresh OMAR coffee (which in my opinion is the best in CT) and they cater as well. Great place I go 2x a week. read more

Yay for new ownership!! Sophie, her husband, and her crew are SO POLITE! It's really nice to be met by smiling friendly and helpful people. The food is delicious and the menu is easier to read. There are some new Korean items and talk of more coming. I got the grilled chicken pesto panini with balsamic, tomatoes, arugula and mozz. It's perfect! read more

Richard's Corner Gourmet Deli - Grilled Chicken Pesto - Delis Near Me - Hamden, Connecticut

Service problems: They dont know how to pickup their online yelp orders. The lady taking orders did not know what was available - this was more of a problem because the "menu" is handwritten across several whiteboards. Egg wrap was okay but chewy. read more

This is NOT the Richards Corner Gourmet that we've known and loved for years. Sadly it was sold and the new owners don't have Richard! I decided yo give them a chance anyway. The food was sadly mediocre at best. The selection extremely limited. The case was practically empty. We were extremely disappointed. While I wish them the best, we will never be back. read more

My complain is that the sandwich was too big. I did not pay enough for these huge sandwiches the Santa Fe had such tender, finely-sliced beef which melted in your mouth, and the chicken salad sandwich which was piled generously with huge chunks of chicken!! I can still recall it now even though it was two weeks ago and it makes me SALIVATE!! Both sandwiches were also served with a crisp, light pickle which balanced the richness of the sandwiches beautifully :) it appears that most of the nasty reviews are about the service but I didn't think any of the staff were unpleasant at all! On the contrary, food was served promptly, the owners (a cute Korean couple) were really warm and hospitable, and they gave us an extra sandwich when they got our order wrong!! Would definitely be back again if I can! :)) read more

Fast and convenient breakfast sandwich! Friendly and efficiently delivered to the table. Delicious.

A hidden gem in Hamden. Food is always high quality, plentiful, and delicious. You won't go hungry no matter what you order here. Plus they're always very friendly! read more

Fantastic service, friendly and helpful service. Called ahead and all was ready on arrival. My favorites are Big Mike's Italian, the Millbrook, Central turkey BLT, and the Corned Beef Reuben. My daughter gets the meatball and mozzarella sub. Take along a few of the giant cookies and enjoy. Like how clean the place. read more

Excellent sandwiches and Korean specialties. A nice neighborhood vibe with friendly patrons and owners. Good delivery service. Reuben sandwiches, Turkey wraps both excellent. Baked goods are a nice touch. Good service all around. read more

Yo this shit was super gas Richard literally hit the spot Richard if you're reading this I fucking love you bro the bacon egg and cheese was so fire read more

Excellent. My husband gets the same thing every week, and he is never disappointed. I've loved their sandwiches, and everyone there is extremely polite, kind and friendly. Love this place! read more

Stopped on a whim for lunch. Great roast beef sandwich with horse radish. Will make this deli a regular stop

Cold toast, over cooked eggs, home fries inedible, coffee had specks of something floating in it, bad experience... pass.

Great deli! Sometimes I come here after running errands. They're always friendly, quick and have a great selection. My favorite is the Central Turkey BLT - with rye, chipotle mayo, muenster, avocado and turkey. Also not very crowded which is a bonus! read more

I have to say, this is a bit tough to write. Being fairly new to the Hamden area, for work, I was introduced to Richard's by some co-workers. My first few experiences were fantastic. Great food, friendly staff, and not too expensive. However, since new ownership has taken over, you will now stand in line while the person behind the register tries to get a clue how to ring you up. She has seemingly no idea what she is doing. The frustration on the faces of the staff making the food is obvious. I hate to say this, because the food is still great, but I don't have 30 minutes to wait to get a sandwich and pay for it. read more

Great breakfast, friendly staff. We came with a party of six and found this place convenient and accommodating. Try the muffins and the home fries. read more

GREAT place! Big menu with lots of options including salads, subs, sandwiches, platters, soups, and more. The food is always fresh and tastey and very good quality. I come in sometimes for breakfast too, which is really a good value, or lunch. It can get crowded at lunch (because they're so good!) so I just call in an order first. Thank you for serving Spring Glen and Hamden, Richard's Deli! read more

For a first time not really impressed. I got a roast beef sandwich. Soda water chips 12.00 not bad. But got over charged for a can of soda. And my sandwich is just a sandwich. Meat was light gourmet not so sure. Was my first and last. If your reading this and need a job. Go put a application in, they need help. Also asked for onions I didn't get those. So now my 12.00 bill not worth it read more

Great breakfast wrap. Decent prices. Fresh food. Clean. Excellent service. What more could you ask for?

My job uses Richards as the order-in place on a regular basis. I've had a good number of sandwiches and entrees and found all very good. Today was the Beef Barley soup and it was so good! Not a fan of chunk tomatoes in my soup and there weren't any! If I had a complaint; it would be with the chicken cutlets. It seems to me that they use an entire chicken breast when making a cutlet. While I'm sure the size of the cutlet is appreciated by everyone; I would pound it out so it's not so thick. It makes the sandwich too big and hard to bite. Others may like it that way. The staff are always friendly and sometimes comedic! And they sell PB&J's! Now, if they would only carry whole milk chuggers; I'd probably have a new $5 lunch special for myself. read more

Love this deli...great owners, great food.. it is true you pay for good things in life..great quality food.. even better owners

Great sandwiches and breakfast sandwiches but unfortunately hours are difficult to navigate around if you don't work in Hamden. Would love to be able to stop and grab subs for dinner but they close before I'm out of work. Thus it's become a good go to breakfast sandwich spot on the weekends. read more

Great chicken soup.full of chicken and vegetables.reasonably priced. Other food I have tried very good as well and nice variety.

Friendly service and great food! Ordered the Santa Fe here and was extremely satisfied. As an ex roast beef sandwich shop worker, i can tell you that this was a very solid roast beef. The meat was succulent, sauces were clean, and the vegetables were very fresh! All in all a very satisfying meal. read more

I love there sandwiches. Not much to say about the place except it has great sandwiches. Perfect for lunch if you work in Hamden.

Went today. First time. Friendly service, fresh ingredients. Home made desserts. Tried the southwest melt with American cheese on wheat bread. Delicious! What a nice surprise. Not like your average corner deli. Loved hearing the local chatter and joyful energy. The food was fresh and the service was very personable. read more

Amazing Caring staff they treat the kids as their own and the kids love the breakfast sandwiches and so do I!!!!!!

Agree with the reviewer who mentioned rudeness of the staff here...I've stopped going here because unless you are a regular customer there you are treated as if you are invisible. They certainly don't encourage new business. The woman who usually rings up the orders is very curt and unfriendly. Pricey and not worth it when dealing with the bad attitudes here. read more

Great sandwiches and variety. Meatball sub is excellent! Their huge quiche slices are great too. Our favorite place to pick up lunch. Been going for a few years and have never been disappointed! read more

I'm so glad that this deli's food didn't change when the ownership did. Still great salads and sandwiches!!!!!! My favorite deli in Hamden.

I just LOVE this place! Fantastic soups! Wonderful salads! Delightful sandwiches! Can't wait to go back!

Come hungry. Leave impressed, not merely satisfied. The sandwiches are beautifully prepared with excellent quality ingredients - absolutely delicious, and very good value. The staff are friendly and helpful, too. read more

I use to go to Richards weekly for the past 10 years. Since change of ownership, the incompetence is astounding. I will never go again. Horrible service. read more
