    Good food, good service, and extremely reasonably priced. It's a bit off the beaten trail but worth the trip (it's fairly close to the Aldi's/BJs on rte 46 but down a side road) . It appeared to be a lot of boaters coming and going too. Friendly crowd with what appeared to be folks coming back from previous visits. The kitchen is small, and the place gets busy with diners and folks coming in for "to go" orders. So, pack your patience as the food, portions, and prices are worth the wait. The indoor dining area has about 6 tables and there are more tables outside, undercover, with ceiling fans. We had their burger, side salad and a breakfast burrito. We'll be back for more.

    Sausage egg and cheese on English muffin with home fries. Need the ketchup too lol

    5 stars for the quick convenient to go order we placed. It was a BEAUTIFUL day to sit out on their porch and look out on the water We ordered a sausage egg and cheese on an english muffin with home fries. The sandwich was so hot and the egg was so fluffy! Not that fake egg in the carton which is huge deals to me. Picture doesn't do it Justice but if you want a quick little breakfast not a bad move. Paid $7.38 for this , good deal in my book

    Haven't had the double cheese in a long time and wow it was cooked perfectly. Fries for a change was large and cooked just the way I like.

    The best Philly cheese steak I've ever had! The bread is amazing. I recommend getting a side of the au gus sauce. Such a hidden gem.

    Sherri the best waitress in Sanford recommended the egg salad sandwich- it's made to order and will remind you of moms! The view nice with a screened in porch to keep the bugs out or under a patio. It's homey, delish and very reasonably priced. If your looking for a local restaurant to support - this is a great choice!

    We ate at The Deli every morning for breakfast; and, we enjoyed the coffee, the food, and the friendly service. We got so comfortable that we helped ourselves to refills one day when it was particularly busy. But, on the other days, the servers and the owner were quick with the refills, providing lots of chilled half-and-half as needed. The Corned Beef is incredible; and, they cooked it "extra crispy" for me every time. My wife and I returned when we were in Sanford over the weekend; and, we took the courtesy van over for breakfast. She and I loved our food and coffee; and, appreciated the spectacular service. Connie is such a delight; and, she even opened the door early to let us; and, a few other folks that were waiting, in. If it were cooler outside, I know we'd enjoy sitting out in the screened-in patio; but, for August, we dined inside!

    Lots of options, nothing fancy but fresh made sandwiches, burgers, salads, fried food and great beer specials. Decent breakfast menu as well. Flip flops are optional. Very reasonably priced. Check out the menu pics. Connie runs a tight ship. Life preserver mounted on the wall in case of flooding. Check it out when in Sanford.

Young girl at the register was nice, tall cook with gotee and baseball cap, NOT so friendly. He didn't say my name correctly which is ok. However, when I went to retrieve my food, eyes locked in, big smile on my face (I was hungry, lol) , and said thank you - death look. No expression, no - your welcome, enjoy, etc. I was hesitant to even say this but this is what this platform is for.. borderline racist as he was nice to other people of lighter skin ); . Just made me feel not welcomed at all. I even said thank you twice. Sometimes kitchens can be a little loud and I can understand if he didn't hear me the first time,, but I know he saw my lips move as we were looking right at each other... Anyway. Overall food was good, a little pricey for a sandwich, fries and a can soda though. For nearly $22 you can eat at sit down restaurant, have quality food and be served with sit down experience. Overall I'd come back as I know what to expect from this location. I've visited another location on LEE RD for to-go but I was in and out... I had the Daily Cheesesteak special. $16.95. I added a cheese sauce $1.30. All together 21.36 total.

    It's obvious that people mistake quantity for quality when they are writing reviews for this…read morerestaurant. Is the sandwich loaded with a large quantity of meat?? Absolutely Yes!!! Is the quality of the meat product of totally sub-par?? Again.... Absolutely Yes!! So much meat that it's falling out of the bun, yet it tastes like that low budget freezer burnt steakumms product that they sell at Walmart and Winn Dixie. Definitely not fit to eat and when I offered it to my dog, I couldn't even get him to taste it. He sniffed it and just turned his head away. Absolutely wouldn't touch it! This is, by far, the worst Cheesesteak that I've ever experienced. The flavor closely resembles the taste and texture of the tires that they sell next door at the Tuffy's Tire & Lube Center. They even overcooked the fries, I couldn't throw it away fast enough. Save your money and your digestive system... Eat Elsewhere

We ordered an appetizer of chicken wings and after about 45 minutes, asked the waitress what was up. She told us they had delivered the wings to the wrong table. I get that things happen, but if you mess up, say so and apologize. It would have made a difference. Then the manager came by and asked how everything was, like he always does, which we have appreciated on past visits. I said everything was fine, but we waited a long time for an appetizer of wings, that were delivered to the wrong table. He winced, but made no effort to apologize. Ok.... So the wings finally came, then the pizzas. We ate and paid the bill. I was surprised to see we were charged for the wings, considering how long we waited because of the first order going to the wrong table. They were only $7.99, but it would have been a nice gesture to take them off the tab or come by and apologize, something is better than nothing. I'm disappointed because this location was my favorite.
