Brookside Country Maid Deli

Do you want a good slutty cheese steak? Look no further than this deli. They'll do it good. And they'll do it quick. And they won't break your wallet to do it.The ambiance of the place screams it's been here forever. Locally owned and operated.

Was looking for something quick suddenly when my dinner plans fell through. SO GLAD that I came across Brookside Country Maid Deli! I got the sampler for my meal ; I love that I was able to select what came in it! ( do wish it came with more smaller sauce, but I had ranch so nbd ) and I ordered mozzarella sticks to share with my fiancé, who ordered the cheese steak platter with fries and a 20 oz Pepsi. There were holes in the side of the styrofoam to help vent and it did just that. The cheese steak was delicious and the fries were nice and crispy! We will definitely be adding this to our regular rotation. Sorry no picture of the mozz sticks they were so good we ate them down too fast!

The food here is absolutely delicious!!!You can order a sub, a cheese steak, hotdogs and fries and all of it would be absolutely delicious!. The ladies here are very friendly and always greet you when you walk in.My dad brought me here when I was young and the smell of the food cooking reminds me of those times

Country Maid is a trusted brand in Delaware. This location, in Brookside, upholds the distinction of being a quality deli, a convenient place to shop for essentials and also a good option for eating. The cheesesteaks are delicious, and make a good meal. The burgers are tasty, and the fried chicken is better than average. Being able to order delivery is convenient and underrated.

Call your order ahead, and they will have your order ready in the time received. Cheesesteaks are comparable to Malin's Deli. If you don't like the soggy roll, then don't do it. But if you are cheesesteak guru like me, they do a fantastic job for a Philly style sandwich. Their wings are more like crispy wings, which is a plus for me. They are a deli, if you're expecting something different don't go. They are nice to me, remember it's a deli, some people maybe a little rough around the edges, but call ahead and take your food. This review is just for the cheesesteaks....

I'm a big fan of Brookside Country Maid. Twenty six years ago, single and living in Newark, I walked into Country Maid looking to buy a sub. I immediately fell in love with this combination deli/grocery-convenience store. The large flat top (griddle), fryer and broader then normal menu immediately showed that this was not just some corner deli. They make excellent breakfast sandwiches, by the way. The home fries are made fresh. You can even get scrapple as one of your meat offerings. Their subs are meaty and fresh, whether cold or hot. Cheesesteaks are excellent, by Delaware standards. As expected, items like the burgers are cooked fresh, although they aren't made in the store but are standard, pre-frozen restaurant items. Skip the seafood. Nothing special there, just breaded, fried, frozen. I've been told they made the macaroni salad themselves. I can believe that. It's a little on the bland side. No problem. A little salt & pepper, maybe some Old Bay and you're good to go. For something really special, try the house made chicken salad. We buy it by the pound ($7.99) and take it home. Really top notch. Outstanding! Pack lunches for work or school? Brookside Country Maid offers four really great "lunch specials", all in the neighborhood of $10 - $11, all featuring pounds of lunch meat and cheese, one even includes a loaf of bread. Oh. And they deliver. So I can sit home, order a late Sunday breakfast, get subs, salads and platters for supper or watching the game and get lunch makings for the week. Area for improvement? Since they are delivering to me anyway, why not add items like milk, bread, chips, ice cream, and grocery items to the delivery menu?

I can't believe I ate here for the times I did. Was in the News Journal, Newark Post and on the news for being shut down. Dead rats in corners, live and dead roaches everywhere including food prepping areas. Holes in floors and walls. Cigarettes place down next to food being prepped to cook. Overall bad place to go to. They should be shut down. Staff can be rude and ignorant as well.

Great food when they actually listen and pay attention to your orders... one sandwich maker is rude the one who speaks from the side of her mouth... My friend with asperger's syndrome was placing an order and he speaks slowly she said " hurry up have others " like wow stay off the meth lady ...the owners are very nice

I ordered subs for a get together I was having. Not really a sub person they were really helpful with helping me choose what would be best. The lady in the back was so sweet, nice and didn't rush me at all. I will definitely go back and give them my business. Had lots of compliments on the subs as well

Great food enough to fill you up totally..great taste.. they give you what you want on hoagie cold or hot. Very faired priced.. some items could charge more it's worth it...very much so.. crew working there great personality.. funny
