Freddy’s Deli

Freddy's Delis is certainly a 5+ Star establishment. The "plus" is a nod to Freddy being friendly and appears to remember the names of his returning clients. It kind of gives off a Cheers vibe, where everyone knows your name. Freddy's Deli is a small kiosk embedded inside a business building and most of his customer inside this office is enough to keep him busy. The sandwich is set up like a bar - see the stools you can eat at the counter or four small tables along the wall. Unless you know this café, it's hidden from street and certainly not widely advertise. Once you walk in, you're see small tables and turn the corner to see the counter. The menu is small with weekly specials. I stopped by for late lunch and wanted something light, Freddy was working alongside his cooks. He's made me a grilled cheese and gave me a free coup on the side. If you're looking for a place with not just great sandwiches, but even greater people - cooks are very interactive, look no further than Freddy's Deli! Freddy himself makes sure to greet you with a smile and a personal touch that makes you feel like you're a regular, even if it's your first visit, like me. It's rare to find a place where the customer service is so warm, welcoming, and genuinely friendly--everyone here goes above and beyond to make you feel like a friend, not just a customer. Unless I caught them on a really good day, and only two other customers, this place sure makes you feel value. Whether you're grabbing something to go or sitting down during your lunch break, this is the place to be and to support a small business owner. I try to stop by month but after the lunch peak hours.

Hidden gem in isolation. Not a traditional deli but has an excellent spin on the chicken pesto.It's in the business park and Freddy is super social. Free soda with a check in. Didn't even allow me to tip him!Excellent chicken pesto sandwich. Wish locals would support!

For lunch, I enjoyed the delicious Greek sandwich, which was a perfect combination of meat, cheese, and crisp veggies. The special came with a drink. Matthew, my server, was both friendly and professional. I decided to dine in instead of taking it to go. It's a nice spot to sit, forgot to ask if they have WiFi.

Went here for a quick lunch & service was really fast. The parking lot has many spaces for parking but make sure you find the door that says deli. Matthew was awesome & helped me with recommendations.

Great experience, fast service, fast service- guys behind the counter have it dialed most importantly great value

Love the flavors of the Greek Salad! I work nearby and love that I can order ahead on yelp and pick it up. Freddy' himself is always super kind and you can tell he cares about his food and customers. He called me personally to let me know my salad would be ready quicker than what yelp was telling me which I thought was super thoughtful!

The are the best just like their food! The service is amazing and make you feel comfortable!

I loved that they have weekly specials at 10$ and they sell variety of items salad sandwiches Burgers breakfast drinks sides and the secret;) It was in a hidden location I liked it coconut water okay

I had the healthy breakfast wrap and my partner had the breakfast sandwich. Both were excellent. Mathew, the chef, was a true professional, very friendly, and took pride in his work.
