Expensive. Poor quality. Uncomfortable atmosphere. This is disappointing to write because we used to eat from here pretty often. Probably won't anymore. I tried to place an online order at 2:10 (they close at 3) and online ordering was turned off. Okay, so we'll go in. We place our orders and the girl at the register says to my fiancée "I think I'm forgetting something you said" my fiancée says "the bacon" and the girl apologizes. No problem. Then we get home and there's still no bacon on the sandwich... I got the 'grandpa' sandwich and this is what it looked like inside. We paid FORTY dollars for the two sandwiches, 2 bags of chips and two iced teas. We usually order online for pickup because when you walk in the staff ALWAYS looks at you like they want you to leave. It's a shame because I feel like it you used to be so much better. Hope they can turn it around. read more

Shelly's Deli - Delis Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

Convenience store/ deli atmosphere. Excellent service and clearly understand allergy vs preference when it comes to the gluten free items they offer. Got an omelette (yum!) and was given a choice of white or multigrain gluten free toast. Amazing! Coffee was hot and oat milk was one of the creamer options. While this is clearly more of a grab and go place, there are a few tables if you want to eat there. Would absolutely go back. read more

Fantastic and safe gluten free food, even has a dedicated fryer for gluten free things. According to my non gluten free kiddo and a friend their normal sandwiches are amazing too. Friendly staff and family owned. Highly recommend read more

Shellys deli, to sum it up is one of the worst places to eat absolute trash. Terrible service slow workers a disrespectful management. Ive ordered here once and never again food was too expensive for what was being served and in addition all the staff looked miserable. Screaming from the back. The place looks dirty like i hadn't been cleaned in years and it smelled awful. In my 65 years on the planet ive never seen a place so disgraceful. read more

We were in the area and wanted to get a quick bite for breakfast. Shelly's was right down the road and it seemed very obvious where we should stop. I wanted a breakfast sandwich and they offer so many gluten free bread options that I was really excited for this meal. I had a simple sausage, egg and cheese on a gf roll. The sandwich was exactly what I was looking for. It reminded me of an easier time before I needed a gluten free diet, when I could just pick up a sandwich from anywhere. It's so nice to have a sense of normalcy and for the food to be absolutely delicious. The food was ready quickly, which was perfect because we had errands to run. It's always a pleasure ordering food from here and I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more

Over 6 dollars for a very average SEC - WAY overpriced. Staff using curse words around customers. Ill be skipping this place next time...

Ordered a breakfast Philly wrap, home fries and medium coffee paid a little over $15... I figured if you want a good breakfast you should expect to pay a little more. I get home regular sized wrap folded to about the palm of my hand. Took a bite and I got that not sure if it was freezer burn taste or when the meat is about to go bad, could not pinpoint but obviously to the garbage it went. The home fries were basically overly fried cubes with maybe peppers and onions and lots of oil in the tin, so to the garbage it went. The coffee was ok. The service was average nothing really stood out, the place feels a little gloomy. I am all about supporting locally owned, and as long as the food is good I will happily pay whatever they charge. Wish I could say everything was great and that I would recommend but I just can't. Maybe their lunch menu is better, never had it so I can't review. read more

If anyone is looking for a convenient stop for fresh and delicious food, Shelly's is the place. There menu is quite huge, and there is a lot to offer at a reasonable price. Ordering is very simple, placing your order and providing your name then finally paying once its received. I ordered the chicken parm hero sandwich with an order of fries (doesn't come with it, I ordered it separately). Personally I liked the buns that were used, well seasoned and had seeds on it. They'll definitely be another opportunity to try their other selections on a future date. With COVID, there is no indoor seating provided, but there is however an outdoor seating only two tables and two chairs. Besides that, takeout is the other option. It can get pretty hectic while waiting especially during the crisis, so calling in and picking it up is the best alternative. Discovering Shelly's was a great choice to pick, and you'll think the same also. read more

I stopped here to grab a breakfast wrap where the road. I got a piping hot Philly breakfast wrap which has sliced steak, eggs, cheese and peppers for $6.50 plus tax. Since everything is made to order, it took a little bit of time. But well worth the wait. The wrap was delicious! A bit of salsa would have been nice. But since I was driving, probably was better off without it. read more

Great for a quick take out lunch. Sandwiches are generous and they have a pretty nice drink/chip selection. The fries are crinkle cut fries. We had a Rueben and an Italian sub. Both were great. Rueben wasn't too greasy, which I liked. read more

A coworker got me their italian sandwich. Which i have ordered in the past and was happy with. Todays sandwich i had to open much later because i was trapped in work meetings until the end of the day. I opened the wrapper and much to my shock the sandwich was made with almost no content. I have attached photos with this review to show the issue I really believe paying 7.95 for this on a roll seems upsetting read more

right up the road from Val-Kill and a few minutes away from Hyde Park. It's a convenient location if you need food between tours and want quality sandwiches, panini's, and other deli items. It also serves as a convenience shop with chips, a wide selection of drinks, cookies, and gum. Good place read more

My husband and I went there and we ordered an Italian hero, the price was $10.95 so I said OK, and then the young woman behind the counter told me it would cost another two dollars for the bread. I was like what! So she made the sandwich, but I will not go back there again, because if i order a sandwich and don't have any bread, It's not called a sandwich it's called cold cuts. read more

Why in the world would you want to go to a sandwich/sub mega-chain when you can get something just as delicious and even more fresh at a place like Shelly's? And their menu shows they probably have double or triple the number of options. My pastrami reuben (on rye, of course) was toasted nicely without being greasy, with about an inch of pastrami inside, fresh sauerkraut, and a nice amount of melted cheese. The subs (wedges) I saw others taking out are about the same length but much thicker in diameter than the chain equivalents. They offer a nice selection of salads and hot items too. If you want to eat in, there's a nice, clean area with tables for 2-4 near the coffee station. But you can also order to go, and they also deliver. The inside is very clean. I like having Shelly's in the area... but I bet the competition doesn't. read more

Food is decent, but during this time... they don't enforce mask covering. I had to tell a guy not wearing a mask to in the deli he needs to be wearing a mask, to which he of course said "I don't wanna wear one." Kinda have to with the executive order going on right now. Management did nothing. I get businesses don't wanna lose money during this time, but it turns people like me away. Only giving this place three stars for this. read more

August 10th at around 1:45-2:00pm- my sandwich had small bits of black plastic in the coleslaw and turkey. I threw it away. I definitely won't be back. read more

I love this deli! So happy to have a deli close by, they feel like a dying breed. Bright clean building, fast sandwiches, delicious, better prices than K&D. read more

I love Shelly's Deli!! One word always comes to mind when I suggest Shelly's to anyone who is looking for a deli CLEAN!!! I always enjoy every sandwich I order and the hot foods are always delicious. Best deli around by a LONG shot! read more

GREAT place! I go here often, it's only about a mile away from work. I recommend the Gramma & Grandpa subs, and their meatball subs -- the latter doesn't appear on the menu but call them first & ask if they have any meatballs that day. They make them the right way: without a ton of breadcrumbs so they're not rubbery. And if they're available, try the Bachmann's corn chips -- I find them to be way better than Fritos! They're also very conscientious of customers with food allergies: gluten-free, dairy, etc. read more

Grandpa is a great sandwich. Fresh, satisfying, cool from Cole slaw, it's a great bite, thank you, love fritz

I ordered two sandwiches by looking at the menu online , went to store to pick up and the price was more , mentioned it to the cashier and he asked someone else who said no it has been updated online, went out to my car and checked and it wasn't , went back in and told them they should honor the price online but he said he would not , and he said he was the owner read more

There's nothing better than stopping into Shelly's on a Sunday morning for some breakfast or lunch sandwiches. They never disappoint. Consistently delicious sandwiches and friendly staff. Seating is a bit limited with only a couple small tables, but it does the job. One of my favorite spots in the area. read more

Shelly's Deli - Chicken Special: chicken cutlet, mozzarella, balsamic, roasted peppers on a roll. - Delis Near Me - Poughkeepsie, New York

Nothing makes me want to step foot in the door... Especially with the way the owner treats and talks to his employees like he owns them and not just the business or they're his pet and he can curse at them and talk to them as he pleases which is not a very good way to to run a business in front of customers and expect to have employees that are happy to come to work and are joyful to work around and are nice to their customers... A well-treated employee would be more than happy to go the extra mile then one that's treated like they're immediately replaceable. Besides that the food's not even that tasty especially for the price that doesn't make a difference to me I'll still support a business as long as they treat their employees well... read more

Excellent food, man I love those little potato squares. Easy access and quick and attentive staff. it's a regular stop for myself and my landscaping crews.. read more

Just stopped for a quick lunch and the service was fast and excellent. Friendly staff and they cared about preventing cross contamination for my food allergy. There were almost too many gluten free options as usually there isn't that much choice. Great spot to stop. My wife loved her turkey sandwich as well. Many people seemed to be frequent visitors which is always a good sign. read more

I ordered a sandwich online this morning and I ordered it on a wrap and paid extra for the wrap. I go to pick up the sandwhich and I'm more than 1/2 way to my house and noticed it was main on a roll. This is NOT the first time I had a wrong order from this place and figured to give it another try but I guess things never change. Attention to detail is lacking at this establishment. Will not be a returning costumer. read more

Great deli with quality food. Have remained a clean and genuine deli with real cutlets , real beef and other fresh alternatives. Can't compliment the owners enough in there years dealing with some obstacles but always remaining genuine and true to what they are. Shelly and Ricky are among the coolest and realest people I've met. Who will admit when wrong and are willing to help if there's any problems. Even in recent times with the turbulence of COVID and rapid inflation, they have remained affordable and providing as much as they can. Definitely a 845 Staple read more

We used the deli for bagged lunches for our tour to Hyde Park last week. Ricky was so easy to work with and the quality of the sandwiches and salads was excellent. He delivered the bags right to our bus and made it very easy for them to be handed out as we headed home. Great to work with, price was right and food was great. Thank you.

Great food. Great staff the owners are great people highly recommend. Soups are delicious especially on a cold day or anyday.

I coach a sports team that had a road game in the area and this place was recommended, what a great recommendation it was. Manager was super friendly, very accommodating to an order of 12 people, order was double checked for accuracy, food was delicious, delivery was on time and then I got a follow up text to make sure everything was done right. If that isn't 5 star service I don't know what is. When we're in the area again we will definitely contact them. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped for a quick lunch after visiting Roosevelt's museum. Very good selection of sandwiches, basic and fun creative alternatives. Husband had Grandpa's sandwich and I had a chicken salad wrap. We were both pleased. You can tell it's a local favorite based on how busy they were and how many customers were greeted by name. read more

Great breakfast and lunch sandwiches! Large selection of subs and sandwiches to choose from and despite being stubborn and usually only ordering from two or three sandwiches, several co-workers have also given positive feedback about their orders and food. Solid place to grab a bite! read more

In my summer internship, I was responsible for getting lunch for 9 teenagers every day for 3 weeks & Shelly's proved to be the best food & most reliable order fulfillment. The food looked great, the students enjoyed it & Shelly's has a very good beverage selection, so we ordered from here frequently. Even though it was during their busy lunch rush, staff were still willing to go through the order with me as it was bagged, so I could be sure we had everything & there was never an item missed. At the end of the internship, I was told by our admin that I should have saved the lunch receipts, but I had not. Ricky at Shelly's Deli went above & beyond for us by searching through their records & sending me copies of all of the receipts. I am so grateful for this effort & would highly recommend this excellent local business to anyone who likes a solid deli lunch. Thank you again, Shelly's, for your fantastic work! read more

I had ordered breakfast (bacon,egg,and cheese with a hashbrown) at Shelly's Deli for the very time and it was so good-just the way I had ordered it.
