Soups are great . Chocolate chip cookies are the best . Specials are always good and the prices are very reasonable. They are super clean . They use single serve gloves . They don't put gloves on in the morning and leave them on and handle money like most delis do . I went there in the late 80''s and it's still the same owners and great quality. read more

Old time lovely deli with a rotating list of home made specials. The fried fish is fresh and tasty. Meatloaf rival's Mom's!(Sorry Mom) potato salad is my favorite side-they sell a lot of it! Family owned and courteous service. Won't disappoint! read more

Hubby came to this Deli a few times when came to do business around the area. This time I'm here because after his business deal, we're driving down straight to WV. This Deli is very organized. Everyone is required to wear a mask and the employees wear them too. We ordered something to go for lunch in case we get hungry on the way. I ordered pepper jack turkey with lettuce and tomato on a multi-grain roll. Hubby had fresh baked Virginia ham on the hero. My turkey roll was the best! I loved it! They did a great job on my roll! We also bought the colorful cookies. We thought the cookies had too much butter in it. I tried Hubby's coffee, good coffee, not bad. Thanks! Recommended Deli! read more

This place has been around for a long time (changed owners a few times) and it shows. The sandwiches I've had from here were not that great. Sometimes the bread was soggy. The place could use some updates. Along with another reviewer here, they do cater to their "regulars" to the detriment of the non-regulars. In my opinion, there are many other delis that have better sandwiches and salads than here. If they would take more care with quality, this place would be a great local takeout. read more

I was in the area for work and was looking for a quick sandwich. It was an OK deli. Nothing special or over the top. It's obvious there are customers that come there all the time as people who walked in after me were greeted by name and served before I was. I got a turkey sandwich which was good. read more

Greatest, most 'authentic' deli in a long mile. A blind man would know it from the ambiance. REALLY, what fantastic sandwich art!...ummm, the meatloaf....just remember: 2 is 1 and 1 is none. Sandwich that is!...they'll fight over this one! read more

I'm quite surprised that no one has written a review about this quaint little deli tucked away beside an equally unassuming ice cream shop on one of Hawthorne's main roads. Truth be told I lived in Hawthorne for three years and never knew about Stewart's either, but now I find myself making a weekly drive and visit to satisfy my cold cuts craving and to find more food items to keep my fridge happy. I am- as I'm sure all of you are as well- no stranger to "The Deli". But as far as I'm concerned all the ones I've visited have been exactly the same as the one before... there's never anything that has ever distinguished one deli from another, in my opinion: so long as the sandwich meats and pasta salads are fresh, you're good for your money's worth. It was a friend who told me about this place, him knowing all too well about this particular creature's habitual hankering for her daily turkey sandwiches. He told me about a whole baked turkey that the store makes everyday and keeps right on top of their deli display case, ready to carve, and my interest was immediately piqued. The first time I made my way over it was a little past noon, and I was immediately taken aback by how full the deli was. Some customers hung back while deciding on what to order while others formed a line that zig-zagged, somewhat confusingly, from the door to the register. But I also have to admit that I was quite impressed by how Stewart's makes certain improvisations to help keep the line flowing without causing unnecessary people-traffic. There are customers who come in that take their time trying to decide on what to order, there are others that come in already knowing what they want made-to-order, and then there are those that just grab-and-go. After eyeballing the baked turkey I started noticing the seemingly endless assortment of salads, heros and sandwiches scattered over the rest of the display tops and laid out on low tables in front of the displays, ready to be picked-up and carried straight to the register. This obviously allows the staff time to work on actual orders made by other patrons, and considering their extensive menu this was definitely a well played strategic move on their part. There are about 33 regular deli sandwiches, 13 hot sandwiches (including crab cake on Fridays), 8 specialty sandwiches (may I suggest the Sloppy Joe [Roast Beef, Turkey, Hard Salami, Honey Ham& Swiss, with lettuce, tomato, onion and Horseradish dressing], the German Hero [Roast Beef, Turkey, Pastrami& Swiss with Russian dressing on Rye] and the Smothered Pork BBQ?), an assortment of chicken cutlet sandwiches, soups& salads and, when available, a selection of hot entrees (the Chicken Pot Pie served in the winter is to-die for, otherwise you can choose from your regular pastas and meat dishes). And, yes- they do offer a limited breakfast menu (your typical choice of roll or bagel or breakfast sandwich); as well as simple desserts. And please make mental note of the fact that, when I order a sandwich or hero here (from $4.00-$6.75) I always end up splitting it with someone else. Either that or saving half for my next meal. I've also been to a friend's get-together where Stewart's catered a cold and hot buffet as well as party sandwiches, and everything was just as spot-on (price included) as when you ordered something from the deli itself. Make sure to ask for their catering menu or go online to take a gander in case you're looking for some simple catering in the near future. Oh, and two other perks: daily specials and delivery. This is not a place to think of sitting down to eat after ordering though, so keep in mind that the best S.O.P would be to take your time while deciding what to order, and then find a bench in the park- while the weather is still warm- where you can sit and enjoy the most perfect deli lunch (or breakfast) that you'll possibly ever encounter. read more

Can't say enough about Stewart's! It's THE best deli around! Friendly and efficient employees and the food, anything I've ever had, is top notch, and trust me I'm picky!!!! read more

Sometimes you get really nice people. And the stuff is good with little wait. Lots of choice and variety and really nice and clean place, sort of fancy in a way. The food is pretty darn good in that deli, but most of all, I think this place is great....greater than Panera but I would recommend this place for a nice deli...just 4 stars because of nasty old hag and sometimes it gets pricy...like really pricey. BTW difficult to get parking and watch your step at the door. read more
