    Smoked Turkey & Avocado
    Ashley C.

    Fantastic local sandwich spot! We tried the smoked turkey avocado, and added cheese on squaw bread along with the Reuben, and both were absolutely delicious. Fresh ingredients, great flavor, and generous portions. The service was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. We'll definitely be back!

    Service was terrible called at least three times both instances the phone call was dropped. The third time I was told to place on hold waited exactly 10 minutes. Made it to the restaurant at this time it's pointless to remain on hold. Both cashiers were awful.

    Great sandwiches and fresh, friendly staff, never too busy, fair prices, good size portions. Will return and recommend.

    Full italian combo meal extra dressing and pickles
    Alan A.

    This place has a lot more traffic and business than expected, but it was never too busy, there was always a place to sit. The outdoors was really enjoyable as they have a patio to sit on. staff was pretty polite. The wait time was not long and the sandwich was actually good. I would give the sandwich 4.5 stars if possible. It wasn't life-changing, but I think only because the Italian dressing put on the sandwich seems to be from a bottle. I would really love to see them do an oil and vinegar with mayo amd mustard ase, and maybe some dried herb sprinkled in and douse it down, but I guess there are people who do like a dryer sub. but it was good. I would definitely be back to try some of the other subs. The meats on the sandwich were pretty good and it was definitely a filling sub of good proportion.

    Patty Melt and Onion Rings
    Jocelyn L.

    Absolutely loved it ! We tried the patty melt, onion rings, and the Italian sandwich everything was extremely delicious . The standout for me was definitely the onion rings perfectly crispy, flavorful, and easily the best I've had in a long time I loved how they were easy to eat without having the entire onion fall out in one bite. The ambiance was great too clean and comfortable with both indoor and outdoor seating with plenty of shade so even on hot days you could still enjoy your meal outside ! The service was just as impressive, all the ladies who helped us were super friendly and made the experience even better. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good sandwich in Rancho!

    I destroyed my sandwich... I couldn't stop eating my french dip
    Ken T.

    The french dip was magically delicious! It was sooo full of flavor and the au jus added another level. I was in bliss! I will highly recommend this place! The staff was friendly and helpful! I'll def come back! It had an retro feel to it almost like I was transported to Knotts Berry Farm or Pirates of the Carribean!

    Really wet soggy fries full of oil
    Emma A.

    Wasn't that good here , the sandwiches are expensive and they don't even sell half's , also when I ordered burger and fries, it looked like a mess soggy burger and fries,

    Parmesan garlic fries

    Very delicious food I am not a mustard person but their honey mustard is very delicious!!! The fries have a good flavor does harden fast in take out better to eat in and the chicken strips are thick good sizing. Nice outside seating and friendly service!

    Our Smoked Turkey & Avocado and #3(a) Monterey Spicy Steak with kettle chips and a free refillable soda. Yummy!!
    Arthur O.

    We had two good sandwiches...my go to roasted turkey and avocado and they put onion rings in it which was a nice twist, my wife had spicy steak sandwich kinda like a Philly cheese steak sandwich after a shared bite of hers I regretted not getting one for myself. The service was quick and friendly the decor is rustic but charming. You can eat comfortably outside or inside and inside they have a huge train set up that circles around the top of the dining area.

    Living in Upland/Rancho pretty much all my and I had never been here and now I'm a regular lol I love coming here during my wfh days and splitting a sandwich with my husband. Service always busy and the vibes if you live inside or outside are super nice and last time I went if you look on the walls inside you can see pictures of how Foothill and Archibald looked back in the 1920s so cute.

    I have past this place my whole life and this weekend we decided to stop and give it a try. It was amazing! Good sandwiches that had a hefty portion of ingredients at a reasonable price. It's mostly self serve like a deli counter, and old school inside with this cool little train that circles the restaurant close to the ceiling.

    Ranch steak sando and the Italian with mufaletta
    Nicholas V.

    Situated on the corner of Archibald Avenue and Route 66 in Rancho Cucamonga, The Deli is a decent find among a sea of chain restaurants and corporate staples. First open during the summer of love, this main stay on the Devils Highway has seen its fair share of travelers and iron horses. I ordered my go to sub, an Italian, and opted for the mufaletta relish which I found out later, was abso-effing-lutely totally worth it. Above my head an electric train, circling my red basket sandwich, beer kegs and food lust, plowing through a fever dream and a memory. Rich vinegar, olives, soft bread and spiced meats. So much more than I expected and far less than I deserve. Delicious. And just as quickly as it arrived my sandwich disappeared. Full belly, red eye flights, and wasted nights. I would eat here again and you should too.

    I can't say enough great things about everything that is Claro's. The selections are endless. They…read morefreshly prepare and pack all thier products, from Sauces, to Meats, Cheeses and ready to bake Italian Favorites. Then you must hit the Deli for a one of a kind Sandwich to go...of course don't miss that Bakery! Its all TO DIE FOR!! The oils, vinegars, olives, Nd oh so delicious Wine selections just take your breath away. The folks here are so friendly, welcoming and helpful. Just walk through thier door for a one of a kind experience that will keep you coming back for more more more! We made meatball sandwiches when we got home. Freshly grated Parm-Romano, Huge Homemade Meatballs and a Marinara to salivate for, on thier freshly baked sandwich rolls. We were in Italian Heaven! We paired these with some wonderful Peroni Beer from thier fridge. It was one of thee best days we've had in awhile. Cannot wait to go back! It's like Disneyland in that you can grab different things each time. Just get there! You won't behi disappointed!!

    I was really looking forward to trying this Italian Deli for some highly recommended sandwiches…read more They have just about any kind of Italian food item you can think of and the sandwich meats are fresh-sliced. Those my only positive comments from my first visit. I came on a Saturday so they might have been busier than normal. I had to wait quite a while for my number to be called and then I had to wait even longer because the server had to correct a mistake on the previous order. There was no place to sit and my knees were hurting from the wait. Once helped, the young man who wrote down my order walked toward the food prep area and almost immediately yelled that he was taking a break. The young man who prepared my three sandwiches seemed inexperienced and unsure how the sandwiches were made. I remained hopeful. I took the sandwiches to the cashier in another area of the store. She was young but cordial and asked if I wanted the sandwiches in a bag and I said, "yes please", only later to realize I was charged for the bag. As many other reviews mention, this business has amazing potential but the customer service is sorely lacking. There are obvious deficiencies in training and supervision. Now, about the sandwiches. The bread is tasty but VERY hard (almost stale). This is much different than all other sandwich places and I was not expecting it. I was very disappointed that one of the sandwiches was completely wrong and not the way I ordered it. I will say the sandwiches were a good value but the poor customer service and incorrect order will prevent me from returning. I hope your experience is better than mine!
