I went to the Ripe Tomato years ago, and my biggest take away was they had good bread. Between the slices ... Eh. So recently I gave them another chance, and in the passing time I believe there has been an ownership change. The bread is still good, very fresh and airy. But the interior is great as well! It was well seasoned, very tasty, and everything was made fresh to order. The meat was Boars Head, and chips were sold to accompany the sandwiches. Parking is room, but remember we are in bear country - some have been by their dumpsters. read more

Server made sandwich without wearing gloves. Ugh! Sandwich was ok, but a disappointment. I might go back one more time for a better experience. read more

It's a good day when you get Ripe Tomato for lunch. Their sandwiches are great and always good service. Great stop after a hike or a bike ride in Litchfield. read more

I have been wanting to grab a sandwich from here for some time now. The service was great, the menu was amazing, along with great prices and not long waiting time! I got the V muncher and it sooo good!! read more

The international has got to be one of the best sandwiches I've ever had ... and everything here is boar's head ! Can't go wrong here, highly recommend! read more

While much of the menu feature custom sandwiches made with standard cold cuts, their 'homemade' items can't be beat. Today that was an out-this-world pulled pork wrap called Porky's Revenge and a fantastic custom ordered salad; they allow you to build it by item at the order window. read more

The food here is super delicious, the staff here are super nice and welcoming and the shop is really nice inside if you want to wait for your food in a comfortable chair or eat outside. Everything here is just super excellent and I couldn't ask for more. Keep up the awesome work. read more

After posting my original review I was personally contacted by the owner Sue via FaceBook. She was very apologetic and kind. She states there were no excuses for the service we got and stated she would be sure to better educate her staff on celiac disease and precautions. She then offered me my next 2 meals on the house! A couple weeks later myself and several coworkers placed a fairly large order. She stated she and only 1 worker were there because she had recently "cleaned house", but they would do their best. We picked up our 7 items and lunch was great, the sandwiches were stuffed full of meats and Sue even gave me 2 sandwiches as gluten free bread runs small :) Needless to say we will be back again for more yummy food! read more

Was always curious of this place every time I drove by. Finally stopped in a few weeks ago and grinders here didn't knock my socks off

Excellent! Had the special of the week dill pickle sandwich and it did not disappoint! Ratio of pickle to lunch meat was perfect! Def recommend this place! read more

I have now been to The Rip Tomato Deli four times and each time I get a tasty and delicious sandwich. Today I had a steak, egg and cheese on a wheat wrap. The steak was shaved, fresh, tender and tasty. It could have held up on its own. The cheese was perfectly melted and the eggs fluffy. I can't wait to get it again. I have had the chili in the past and it was savory and rich. Exactly what is needed on a cold day. I also enjoyed the Gettin' Jiggy Wit Big Piggy, a very meaty sandwich with ham, bacon and sausage. Given how full the sandwich is, you can still taste the individual ingredients and how well they play together. The store also has plenty of snacks along with national and CT based sodas. Finally, I can't leave without grabbing a cookie on the front counter. They are fresh and tasty. read more

We got takeout for lunch, Turkey BLT & the Divine Bovine sandwich. It was everything lunch should be: fast, fresh, healthy. Plus: Love to support local business! read more

The Ripe Tomato Deli - Divine Bovine! - Delis Near Me - Litchfield, Connecticut

Love this place, today there was a note about tomato trainees on the door. 5 minutes standing in front of the register without a hello, a "just a minute" or even a quick smile acknowledging my presence. That's the limit of my patience I guess. Not sure if I'll be back. Sandwiches are great though!!! read more

Great find after a long morning hike very friendly staff great sandwiches !! Good prices

I like this Food stop very much! The owners are very cordial. Sit inside and dine or take out. Very clean and worth ever

Good quality, pricing and service! Beware closes at 2 pm! Check business hours before you go!

Phenomenal food. Cute, grandma's eat in kitchen like dining. All Female staff. (Girl power)... Awesome creative menu. If you are out on this side of the state its a must to stop by for breakfast/Lunch.. I did both! read more

Quirky little place with a lot of character and some very delicious and unique sandwiches! Had the "Porked it twice" haha, was very happy with the price and taste of the food read more

I order 2-3 times a week , always the same sandwich right at opening. Every time without fail Carrie picks up the phone with a Good Morning Melanie! Can I start your sandwich? The team and the food are top notch, all smiles. Such a great spot to live around the corner from. read more

The server put her ungloved hands on the chicken and salad ingredients when preparing my salad! I was told it wasn't "law" for servers to wear gloves. It seems this business is ok with putting customers at risk for food contamination! How about reading public health recommendations! Lost a customer! read more

First time we ate there! The Divine roast beef sandwich was awesome!!! We are in the area visiting family and friends. Walked in ordered, and it was ready in less than 5min. The place is very small, but clean, staff really did a great job! The food was some the best sandwiches I have ever eaten. I would send a picture but we ate everything . I will come back on a regular basis!! read more

Great sandwiches, and chili! The staff are always friendly & kind. It's a cute atmosphere. They really take pride in their food!

Fantastic food. Great staff. Creatively named menu items. Highly recommend the V Muncher Cruncher.

Amazing variety of creatively named and tasty designer sandwiches. Huge menu with to much to order this is my go to for lunch

Bait and switch joint. Internet price for grinder is 9.97. Actual price 12.95. There is a sign on the display cast that says " we've held off as long as we can before raising prices....... No one begrudges a price increase in these economic times. But the price on the internet should at least be close to what you actually charge. BTW the grinder wasn't that good. Plenty of better options 10 minutes away in torrington. read more

Loving the vegetarian options ! My sandwich today was pretty amazing! I will certainly be back!

Just so good!!! I've only been twice, but both times I was blown away. I love soups & their chicken soup with kale, sweet potato, zoodles & turkey sausage was so great that I had to go back! So today I drove 20 minutes out of my way to get a breakfast sandwich and chili to have later in the day for dinner. The breakfast sandwich was great, but the chili?! WOW! Probably the best I've ever had! Perfect balance of meat/beans/heat. Add to that super friendly service and more than fair prices and I can't recommend this little gem highly enough! read more

They have a big signature menu with a lot of interesting lunch options. The vibe inside is very country store but that's a good thing for the area. Staff is friendly. Prices are reasonable. Would stop back here for a quick bite when in a rush but I wasn't blown away with the wrap that I got that particular day. The ingredients could be a bit higher quality (ie. Quality romaine instead of shredded lettuce and a craft hot sauce rather than just Franks red) read more

Really good little breakfast and lunch spot that is really cozy on the inside. Great selection of deli sandwiches and soups. Boars head meat is what is used on the sandwiches. Very good selection of different meats. Would define or recommend and would be back! read more

Whenever I visit my brother I love coming to this place. Great tasting and fresh sandwiches. It's so good that it's ruined sandwiches for me when I'm back home in California. read more

This is a great place to go for a quick bite to eat. They make all sorts of sandwiches. I'm a breakfast sandwich fan myself but I always ask for a bacon egg and cheese grinder and they make it for me. It's one of the only places around where I can order that. They also carry beef jerky so that is a plus. read more

Local gem. I had the Chef salad which was generous with meat and cheese and my husband had a turkey sandwich on Croissant which was great. Lots of options for chips and soft drinks. Ambience is adorably comfy! read more

This is my family's favorite deli. Love the creativity and love put into their food. The staff is extremely friendly and efficient. They make you feel as if you are apart of their family. Not much around beats the ripe tomato. Can't wait to return to enjoy another mother clicker and a cup of shrimp corn chowder!!!! read more

My husband and I love this deli. They have a very original menu, and the most delicious corn chowder ever! I love the garlic & herb mayo and the chicken cutlet. Staff is so friendly and efficient. Oh, and the chili is great, too! read more

Great little casual place for unique sandwiches and more. My husband had the Mother Clucker and loved it! I had the chicken salad on a fresh croissant with fresh basil as suggested by the owner. It was the perfect simple addition that made for a unique blend of flavors. The owner and staff were wonderful. Everything was so fresh. There was a constant flow of traffic even during the off peak hour. Highly recommend. read more

Fantastic place to grab a bite for breakfast or lunch.. Great food, quality ingredients and sides, creative menu and a wonderful staff. Clean, well run and reasonably priced, it's easy to see why The Ripe Tomato is always busy. read more

Solid deli with some creative dishes. Nice to get away from standard sandwiches. I really enjoyed the Chester's Chicken Salad Club wrap. This is certainly going to be a go to for me when work has me in the area. Staff was friendly and service was super fast. My wrap was delicious and stayed together as a ate, which is always a plus with a wrap. Ingredients were great quality, and fresh. Don't hesitate to stop here, just don't count on eating there, you're likely going to have to take it to go. read more

Love this place. Chicken salad is delish. Chicken chill out is amazing. Salads are great only complaint I can't believe I'm saying this but would be a little more lettuce to balance all the meat! Has a great selection of chips and drinks as well. I haven't tried their breakfast sandwiches yet. read more

i was super hungry and this place satisfied! service was quick and awesome! lots of selections too! only bad thing, there's no where to grub inside. read more

I absolutely love the sandwiches when they're actually what you order.... but more times than less , my order is always wrong. When your driving 15 minutes to go pick up a custom made sandwich thats 4 outta 5 times wrong its super frustrating. So I'd advise anyone calling in an order to repeat themselves 337837326 or more times and maybe have the staff repeat it back to you so that your order might actually be right. Ohh and for some reason when you ask for mustard, you get mayo...Good luck, and happy sandwich ordering, hope they don't screw it up for you too! read more
