Express Deli

I happened to be in the area and hungry. I went to Yelp to see what was around, and Express Deli popped up with excellent reviews.I'm a sucker for sandwiches, but corned beef/Reuben's are not my jam.However, I looked up the menu and saw several other options, so I tried them.I was a bit hesitant upon seeing the outside presence; not scary, dingy, or sketchy-looking, just very basic and the simple name to match. - Express Deli Family - I mean no offense but, truly, this could be very off putting to more people than not. Upon entering, I wasn't quite sure what to think.When I walked to the back, past the many coolers of bottled drink options, to where the food is prepped and served, I just happened to be the only person in the store.I struck up a conversation with the gentlemen handling the food service and explained it was my first time there and that I do not like Reuben's.I quickly learned this gentleman had quite the educational background and decided to change paths and keep his family business running. I was standing in his father's business. He and his mother had been up from the early morning hours, preparing all the fresh meats for the day. He explained to me how they prepare their Reuben's differently and asked if I'd like to try their variation to the traditional Rueben. "Their" variation due to the fact that they are not Irish!!Of course, I complied. Next thing I knew, I was served mini versions of six different menu options. Three different types of "Reuben's," including a turkey version, and samples of a couple other sandwiches I mentioned being interested in.All I could say, including my response to their corned beef "version," was, 'Wow!'At 44 years of age, I ordered my first Reuben ever! Along with a bunch of other options. If you're a chicken salad person, like me, and typically find all restaurants to serve a sub-par, bland, creation - this is your place!Upon receiving my order, I went to checkout at a register I had walked by at the front of the store. This is where the father ran things.We struck up a chat for about 15-20 minutes and, while I left fearful of their future due to statistics of awesome, small, family run places like this, I was also happy to have had such a great experience - something sadly uncommon in our present day and age.

Can't go wrong here. Not the cheapest, but great quality at an unsuspecting spot! Great beverage selection as well.

I had a craving for corned beef, so when I saw there was a nearby deli when we stopped for gas on the highway, we headed there instead of to our usual fast food.What we found was an excellent local place, with tender, delicious corn beef, the "famous" owner behind the front counter (his picture is all over their signs and merchandise), and a friendly atmosphere to stop and have a quick lunch.We loved it! I got the jumbo size corn beef sandwich, ate half there, and took the other half with me to our hotel to eat later that night. Perfect! My husband had the Ruben wrap, which was very large, but he loved it and ate the whole thing there.We also each had a bottle of grape pop from their cooler. That's always such a fun treat, like we were kids again!Next time we're traveling that way, we will definitely make it a priority to stop there!

Holy smokes what a great sandwich spot. Loved my Reuben on a hogie (stop w the hate that it's not on rye). Corned beef is done in house and it tastes amazing. "What can be done in house is done in house." - from the guy working there. Service was so kind, engaging, and perfect. Even offered a sampler platter as a first timer. I was blown away from the first friendly greeting to the last bite. A bit of a hole-in-the-wall vibe which made it even better. Prices fair for what you get. I'll be back!!!

This place is amazing! While they are consistently busy, my order is correct every single time! Highly recommend.

Bottom line, this place is fantastic! Family operation. Super nice people. Let you taste and discuss ingredients. Worth the trip. Worth the time. Worth the money! Tried the turkey. Delish! Tried the roast beef. Medium rare and fantastic! And the rueben. Melt in your mouth good! I wish I lived closer. I'd be here 3x a week. The large is enough to split and be satisfied or have later. The ingredients are homemade and quality. So good! It's in a little strip plaza. Plenty of parking. They have a few tables, nothing crazy. Small and not really to eat in. Mostly take out. Lots of drink options and chip options too. Prices are average for what you get. Not fancy and meant for take out. We were told you can call ahead to order and the website will have an ability to order as well soon. So do that. I will travel here and be back lots!

Had heard that this place was highly rated in a national review of delis.So, I decided to check it out today. I was greeted after entering by a very friendly person. I ordered a Reuben Sandwich on rye. The Reuben I received was absolutely the very best sandwich I have ever received. Couldn't be better. I will be returning here often and highly recommend this deli for all you foodies, like me ! Thank you!

One of my coworkers who lives locally told me this was great. I would say that was an understatement.Place was amazing, took a few minutes to get my order in but seriously great people and a good value. I'm going back tomorrow for more!!!!!

Absolutely amazing took a coworker there today for lunch. Both of us got the tuna salad sub. It was the best tuna salad, both of us have ever had in our lives. Great food extremely friendly workers the prices were very cheap. we will definitely be back.

Honestly, I'm so upset that I don't live locally because the food and service here are absolutely fantastic!!! When you walk in you know the food is going to be amazing simply based on the atmosphere. I don't know what I loved more: the absolutely delicious food or the friendly family service we were greeted with. I've never had a better experience at any establishment like this. And once they knew this was our first experience they treated us with a special treat. I cannot say enough good things about Express Deli. Any time I'm anywhere near this area, I'll plan an extra trip to Express Deli!
