Chicken Salad on wheat
Anita T.

Freshly made sandwiches, salads, soups, and more. This deli gets pretty busy at lunch time. They have daily specials. You get in line and order, then you can watch as your food is prepared. There are tables to eat inside and out (patio). The nice young person misheard me at first and only made one sandwich instead of the two I ordered, but when i brought it up to her at the register, she went back and quickly made it. The plain chicken salad was fresh and I like the bread they use. The turkey sandwich was well prepared.

Wow!! I've never had chicken salad with grapes in it. I always strayed away, but today, I am convinced that apples and grapes go in chicken salad, especially when basil is involved. The sample bite they gave me had me doing a food dance in the line. The service was fast, customer oriented, and done all with a smile. When I walked around the corner after placing my order, I saw that there is also a seating area for dine in. Very nice place and there is also seating outside. I'll be back for sure!!!

Chicken salad Sandwich
Fred B.

This venerable spot has always had a rather broad array of items to choose from in the area of specialty sandwiches, BYO sandwiches, salads, quiche, and a nice amount of tasty, colorful side dishes. On this visit, I came specifically for the Curried Chicken Salad, which their website indicated would be available on this day. I order a Curried Chicken Sandwich on lightly toasted white bread - I really like the bread, it is fresh cut, thick and flavorful. I watched as the young lady cut the bread and placed the slices in a toaster, then things kind of froze. She went in and out of the kitchen area several times. After more than 10 minutes, she said the Curried Chicken Salad was not available, and I mentioned that would have been a good thing to know before sliding up and now the cases waiting for my order. Though not a happy camper, I chose the regular chicken salad, which was placed on the bread that had been resting in the toaster for over 10 minutes. The young lady placed my order on a tray, and I had to remind her that my order was to go. Altogether, this was a bit of a culinary train wreck - desired item that I specifically came for and was listed on the website as available on this day was in fact not available, unfocused and uninformed service, and then to find they started charging 3.25% on CC charges on Aug 1 - perfect! I am no fan of fast, casual dining, and I'm no fan of the ordering system here specifically. That is even more so after this experience - the food here is generally good but there's much here that diminishes the overall experience. I will not return to this "trusted and integral part of the community fabric of the Triad". Ambiance - 2 Food - 3.5 Service - 1 Value - 2

The carving board, oh how I love thee. I ventured out today from my usual order (the Rueben) and got an Italian special with two types of hams and salami. I didn't venture from my usual side of noodles though because I couldn't get too crazy. I haven't found a fresher sandwich out there. My mom got the hot pastrami and loved it. This was her first time in and she was raving about it.

Rueben Sandwich and orange Orange-Raspberry Beets
Marissa K.

I went in for lunch for the first time as it's close to work for me. Everything looked good and it was pretty busy but the line was moving. Lots of choices of sides salads and a good menu. I decided to try a Ruben and a side of the beets as usually these are both things I love. I noticed as the woman put the sandwich to be cut the dressing seemed weird and I asked about it she said it's 1000 island. I asked again because it was very dark brown in color and she realized she had put honey mustard on it instead. I asked her if she could remake it because I really didn't want honey mustard on my sandwich. She looked very annoyed and was then told me to go sit a couple times she would bring it to me. And took the sandwich back. I wanted to make sure they didn't just change out the bread(which they did) and explained to another lady who cut me off rudely and said "got it" So I got a Ruben with honey mustard and 1000 which was mehh. The beets were fine, sweeter than I'm used to maybe but good. The prices are comparable to other places like this. The service was not really acceptable and if I was judging that alone I'd say don't bother coming here to receive an incorrect order and attitudes from staff. I've worked in restaurants most of my life and I would've apologized and remade the entire sandwich especially when it's something like a sauce or juicy item that will ruin the food. Plus it could've been an allergy. The point being it was wrong and they easily could've nicely corrected it; especially at $16+ for lunch for one person.

Pastrami on Kiser roll with red pepper mayo, lettuce, tomato, red onion and pepper jack cheese.
Jo M.

This is a busy place! They have a lot of staff ready at the door when you walk in. My sandwich included a special on the board. Pictured is a pastrami sandwich with pepper jack cheese (melted), red pepper mayo, red onion, lettuce and tomato. This was my first time here and it will not be my last. It was clean inside and the staff were very attentive.

We came here a little after 10am on a Tuesday. They open at 10am Monday through Saturday. When you walk inside it is similar to a deli with meats, salads, etc in display cases in front of you. There was no one in front of us as they had just opened and we were able to ask a lot of questions. The women behind the counter were very sweet and informative. We learned they were established by two sisters and have been in operation for over 25 years. They have continued to operate as a family business with other family members joining in. My wife chose the three salad plate at the suggestion of one of the employees and she thought that was a great idea. It allows you to try multiple things and they provide generous portions. She chose the chicken salad, spinach and bacon salad and cucumber salad. I chose to make my own sandwich with ham, cheese and assorted veggies and a cup of the chicken noodle soup. I also tried a sample of their spicy noodles and quickly decided to buy a container to go. We had a seat and quickly started enjoying our meals. We both thought everything tasted fresh, homemade and delicious. We learned you can call ahead or place orders online. They also provide catering orders. Overall, this was a fantastic experience and we will absolutely be back. Excited to try even more items next time and my wife wants to purchase some of their orange dill vinaigrette to add to her salads. Also, a big shout out to the women who were so incredibly friendly and helpful.

Half Sammy of the day and Bow Tie Feta Pasta Salad
Chelsea H.

Boujee Sammys with some great side options! The sun dried tomato and feta pasta salad I had was amazing. 1000% will re-order every time. I'd love to come back and do a salad plate to try more options. Lots of sandwich options that were very customizable. I'd say what you'd expect for a boar's head deli. Only issue was we did not like the chocolate chip cookie we ordered, it was very dry. This place gets busy but plenty seating inside.

Quaint little Amish market.They sell all kinds of good stuff, most notably homemade pies and cakes,…read morecandies, kitchen knives, spices, and much more. Be aware though, it seems like more and more of their merchandise is made in China. (That matters to me.) Service is friendly and everything is very clean. Be sure to check business hours though as they close midday on Saturdays and 5:00 on weekdays.

Just about an hour from where I live but so glad I stumbled upon this market while passing through…read moretown. The sign out by the road made me a little skeptical but I convinced my husband to turn around and let me take a look inside- I was sure glad we did. It has an abundance of everything you can think of if you like to bake or just enjoy to eat. I have been wanting to bake pumpernickel bread forever but finding all the ingredients just never happens but I was thrilled to find Every variety of flour from medium rye meal pumpernickel to einkorn. They even had the malt powder. Home I went to bake up my first loaf ever and it was excellent! The have all sorts of things, if you like to bake- thickening agents, Sugars, flavorings,...a variety of jams, cheese, meats, baking pans, gadgets... They have fresh baked bread-we brought home a loaf of sourdough bread- regular loaf style but was fresh and pretty good. Planning a trip back with some friends, there is a nice new cafe in Roxboro- Incorrigible Cafe, will grab lunch there and then head over to Yoder's for something different to do. There is also an old school house and jail in town. I believe you need an appointment to go inside. Also prices were good compared to Whole Foods. Worth a trip if you don't live nearby.

Despite a few mishaps during our visit, I'm still giving it a full rack of stars. I used to stop…read morehere for the occasional lunch trip with co-workers, and this was my first time back since relocating back to the Triad. It was a busy lunch hour when we pulled in, but still able to find parking without difficulty. Several copies of the menu are taped along the booth partitions that create the order line walkway. Lots of options, and I went with the TJ's Club Special. Order taken and paid for at the front counter, and we selected a table near the front window. The place was definitely busy with both takeout and dine-in orders. Restaurant was well-lit, comfortable, and clean. Mishap #1, we noticed a lot of other order numbers being called besides ours so my wife went up to inquire and it somehow got labeled with a different patron's name and put off to the side. Hey, mistakes happen and the order contents itself were accurate. My wife got the half-sandwich and soup and made the comment that the soup was nice and hot. My Club sandwich was PACKED with meat like you'd expect if your grandma had made it. I got my sandwich with their pasta salad and it was delicious. Mishap #2, we were hoping to use the restroom before leaving but it was labelled "out of order". For all I know, a plumber might have been dispatched, but this is one of those things I would think you need to take care of ASAP when offering a dine-in option. TJ's is definitely a must-try for a great deli sandwich.

Stopped in at TJ's again for lunch. I ordered something I've never tried before- The Grilled…read moreChicken Wrap. It was hot and delicious although I felt the tortilla wrap was a little stiff like maybe they didn't warm it before adding the ingredients. My husband got an Italian Hoagie. He had them take off the 1000 Island and add mayo instead. He enjoyed it a lot. We also got a side of Onion Rings to share. The first thing we noticed was how dark in color they were and also the abundance of seasoning. My husband took a bite of one and immediately started coughing because of the super salty flavor of them. Having a long history in the restaurant business, we could tell they were re-fried and obviously re-seasoned. He returned them to the counter where they gave us a fresh batch without a problem. The new ones were visibly much better however, as long time customers of TJ's we noticed how much thicker the breading was than it used to be. I was disappointed the batter was so prominent I couldn't really taste the onion. I think they either changed their breading or changed the way they bread them. I wasn't a fan though so I will hesitate to order any breaded items from now on. The dining room, as always was bright and clean bustling with customers eating lunch. The service is nothing but friendly there every time we visit as well. I will continue to frequent TJ's Deli.
