    Salmon on Heritage bun with chips.  Hibiscus tea.

    The inside has unique decor. Like a small wood cabin with tables on different levels inside. Walls with drawings and sayings of love and family life. The sandwiches served with fresh baked buns and meats. Have to order the heritage bun. Delicious. All the men servers were pleasant and attentive. The hibiscus tea was delicious.

    You will come here for the food and stay for the ambience ! The food was just delicious - we shared a roast beef sandwich with chips and the fruit plate. We each enjoyed the Garden Salad with balsamic vinaigrette! I don't believe there is anything on this menu that is not so yummy ! The building is just wonderful in every nook and cranny of both the floors. Come inside on the bottom floor and enjoy the walk up that beautiful old staircase. Our waiter was Levi, but we spoke to several of the waiters. They were all so kind and we were amazed to learn there are The Yellow Deli across several states and countries. Don't miss this place in Oneonta ! It's more than worth the short drive off the interstate. #wewillbeback

    I ordered the pastrami, with Swiss cheese, on sourdough. I recommend the tomato basil soup as well.

    Put it this way... the food at Yellow Deli was very delicious, we ate it for lunch and dinner. We dined at the Oneonta location, which was quiet and clean. The service was great dining in, and they are open on certain days until 3am. Dine out, however, must be done in person at this location. Phone orders are not allowed. This was a bit of an inconvenience, and I waited 35 minutes for our complete order. Overall, I would return and dine in at the Yellow Deli in Oneonta. The carrot cake and cream cake with blueberry topping is a must!!!!

    Best veggie burger I've ever had

    Food was delish service was excellent. Def a cult. Def will come back. Bread is baked fresh. My girls had a cinnamon roll and their apple cider. They really enjoyed it.

    The Salmon Chowder is insane!!! Yellow Submarine was amazing... Strawberry shake was delicious. Strawberry waffle and Reuben were scrumptious..

    Fruit plate.

    Seriously the BEST food. Highly recommend the fruit plate and split a perfect sandwich with my guy. Great lunch. Also, the pina colada smoothie was perfection.

    Turkey sandwich on heritage bread, meal also comes with chips. Also ordered a hibiscus tea to drink.

    We recently stayed in Oneonta for Cooperstown and we came across this place. The sandwiches are incredible and the basil soup is so delicious and full filling. One thing I will say is there is NO SODA, but their teas are tasty and making you want more. The staff here is also very friendly and funny. It sounds too good to be true but this place is a definite must to try.

    Vegetable soup with fresh bread and butter

    So fresh, delicious, healthy with friendly service. Yellow deli is so iconic and love coming here with my family ever since it opened in 2010. I've tried their location in Colorado and still think oneonta location is better. Love all the little details and the people make it feel like home away from home. A definite must eat while in oneonta.

    Root beer on tap! Fruit plate

    Food was great here. Fresh homemade bread and their sandwiches and delicious soup. Perfect spot for lunch.

    An experience for sure. The Yellow Deli serves a small natural food menu with non alcoholic teas and juices. It is also run by an organization largely regarded as a cult. The food is delicious. The atmosphere unique and service attentive. Go for the food and atmosphere.

    Long Island rancher with a side of chips and pickle, soup of the day tomato basil and a grilled cheese on the side

    Best chili in town. Comes with jalapeño cheese bread. I don't think I even deserve the bread, but that's how they roll.
