    A filling and tasty lunch with the Keeney Club & the Angry Chicken
    Elisa F.

    What a great local deli in Wethersfield! I've been told how good this little shop is for a while and so glad I stopped in for lunch. If anyone knows me, they know I'm sucker for a GOOD deli sandwich and that's exactly what you'll get here. I happily enjoyed the Keeney Club which namesake is a homage to the town of Wethersfield! It came piled with house-roasted deli turkey, lettuce, tomato, bacon, avocado and garlic mayo atop thick toasted bread. WOW the garlic mayo absolutely blew me away. Definitely the star of that sandwich, along with that house turkey! The hubbs got the Angry Chicken which he was obsessed with. Homemade breaded chicken, cayenne mayo, hot sauce, lettuce, tomato, cheddar, and topped with hot pepper relish on a hard roll. From looking at the menu, I could have bet the deed to our house that he would choose that sandwich LOL The only downside is it's a little pricey for the amount of food. $12 for a sandwich and a small side. However, the sides were very good. The french fries were a surprise MVP. Very crispy and reminiscent of high school cafeteria fries in the BEST way *heart eyes*

    A cute little spot that's a must try. I love the customer service as well as the variety of the menu. There are tons of sandwiches and salads to choose from. I've had both breakfast and lunch and really enjoyed it.

    Ordered a chicken Caesar wrap, angry chicken sandwich, and corned beef cabbage soup. My wife enjoyed her wrap and I really enjoyed the sandwich. It had a huge piece of crispy chicken with nice heat from the condiments. The soup was excellent and you could tell everything is homemade. The coleslaw and potato salad were also good.

    Chicken Salad on Gluten-free Bread w/Fries

    What an excellent spot for lunch. Not much to say other than the fact this place really makes you feel like you're in one's home. Well I mean it looks like a house from the outside. Everybody was helpful, friendly and informative especially the lady who took my order. I was able to get my basic chicken salad on gluten-free bread w/french fries and absolutely no issues at all. The sandwhich had excellent structure, it was litterally picture perfect. The chicken salad was really good. Tasty, not mushy. French Fries were good. Really the only thing that lacked a little as some of them were on the very soft side. No biggie. Just be careful as when they're soft they could get super oily and greasy (etc.) Other than that, it's cheap, they have options, the food is good quality and they make you feel at home.

    Very disappointed in this place. I got a sandwich with potatoe salad, the sandwich as you can see from my picture had more mozzarella then meat. I mean literally looks like two slices of meat and the potatoe salad had ZERO salt, pepper or flavor of any kind. For $13 I expect a meal from a deli and this was literally smaller then my hand with barely any meat. I feel scammed out of my hard earned money and will most likely take days if not weeks to recover from such a emotionally traumatic experience. I will say the woman working behind the counter were very kind so they get a star for that. Whoever ownes this place has no business calling it a deli. They should rename it to "sandwiches for ants" because that's the only thing that will feel full after dining here. SHAAAAAAAAME! SHAME SHAME SHAME

    Yum!! Great sandwich options. I had the keeney club which is basically a club sandwich with avocado and garlic mayo. It soo good. I love their side options, Very creative and all slightly different than the usual. I loved the herb pasta salad- it had chunks of sun dried tomatoes. Everything was perfect, I'll definitely be back.

    Solid spot for a quick sandwich, and the young woman working the counter was really friendly. Parking is luck of the draw (very linited), and the sandwiches all sound awesome. I had #1 and found it to be quite good, but not amazing, and a bit pricey for what it is. I'll be back to try others eventually, but can't see myself going out of my way any time soon.

    The George Washington. Roast beef arugula cheddar and Apple slices with horseradish. Yum!

    Working on trying to dine at some of the local establishments in Wethersfield, I can finally cross The Cove Deli off my list. I had recently tried them at a Taste of Wethersfield event and was looking forward to try something more than the samples they offered at the event. The store itself is quite small so I think that if I were to have gone in the winter it might have been a problem if I went around lunch time but luckily it was later in the afternoon AND the weather was awesome so I was able to sit out side and people watch. The employees were working hard and even at about 2pm they were doing a brisk dine in as well as take out business. Pleasant and polite - the girl that assisted me was helpful in helping me decide on a sandwich. She put the order in, I paid and then sat outside for my order to be brought to me. I ordered the George Washington - roast beef, cheddar, arugula (I subbed for lettuce), apple and horseradish on pumpernickel along with a bag of pretzels and their herbed pasta salad. It was not long before my sandwich was brought out and although I enjoyed it I thought that for $9.50 my sandwich was lacking in its filling. It was good but I was expecting and left wanting more. I understand that quality ingredients cost more, but really all I was asking for was another piece (or 2 of roast beef slices) I loved the herbed pasta salad but again - I was left wanting more. All in all a nice place and I will be back, especially as a place to sit outside and people watch but it will not be a place that I immediately think to go when looking for a place to grab a sandwich.

    Now at $9.50

    Whole Deli - Bacon Egg and Cheese on a Hard Roll with Salt and Pepper  (a little squished but absolutely fantastic!)

    No customer restroom…read more Stopped in for lunch but had to leave because there's no customer restroom. Staff suggested I drive to McDonald's down the road to use theirs, which meant we couldn't stay and eat. Just a heads‑up for anyone planning to dine in.

    Whole Deli is one of those rare gems you stumble upon once and then keep coming back to for years…read more I've been stopping here every time I travel to Rocky Hill since February 2008, and it has never once disappointed me. It's a fairly unassuming spot from the outside, but the food is absolutely out of the park. My go‑to breakfast order is the quintessential BaconEggAndCheeseOnAHardRollSaltPepper (IYKYK). They nail it every single time -- simple, classic, perfect. For lunch, the "Sweetness" sandwich has been my longtime favorite. It's a unique and surprisingly perfect combination: Black Forest ham, Swiss cheese, crisp red apple slices, and honey mustard on a sub roll. Pair it with one of their deli salads and a bag of chips and you've got an outstanding lunch that hits every note. I only wish I had a deli like this back home in Western NY. It's absolutely something I miss between trips. If you're anywhere near Rocky Hill, do yourself a favor and stop in. Whole Deli is the real deal.

    Pulled in on this Wednesday in August at about 2:00 PM…read more Rocky Hill Jersey Mike's was hopping, even though it was the end of lunch I was quickly waited on, and I ordered my favorite, with a new twist.... And if you want to try a sandwich that explodes with flavors you've gotta follow me on this. I ordered the Italian sub, Mike's Way, with spices and wet Now here's where it gets really interesting and the explosion happens On top of the sandwich construction, I asked for jalapeño peppers and banana peppers, finished off with pickles And the plain piece of bread that's gonna be the top piece, I added mayonnaise and the spicy relish Once these flavors mesh together, this is possibly the best combo there is at any grinder shop in the world in my humble opinion The explosion of flavors and crunch is simply amazing. Done this way it is possibly the greatest tasting grinder ever constructed. The heat, the banana peppers, the hot relish, oil/vinegar wetness, Italian spices freshness to the bread, flavor in the meats and cheese, with a pickle on top, oh my! Thank you jersey Mike's Rocky Hill, you made this guest feel like a king. The sandwich was constructed with love and attention, adding that smile and Good nature twist from the employee. Is this location my favorite? , you bet it is ! I was so excited about ordering the sandwich, I forgot to check in. And then while consuming this sandwich, I got totally distracted and forgot to take pictures of my experience. This is how good these sandwiches are.

    The grinder I ordered was atrocious. My husband ordered a salad, (you can't really screw that up)…read more He brings home a beef, cheese and jalapeno sandwich. There was the bare minimum of all three items on the roll they used to serve me. The beef was so dry and over done that nothing could have made it rise to the edible status. I called the store after we got home and the manager was less than helpful. I would never choose to go to this locality for a meal. We've been to others that served a decent sandwich for the price. Close up shop folks!!! The word is out as to the quality of food that you serve.
