Gambier Deli

Stopped in here for a late lunch. Was happy to see that they had gluten free bread. Lots of options on the menu. I decided on #81 - - gluten free bread, hold the cheese, add avocado. My sandwich was small - - common for GF bread - - and not very flavorful. Street parking can be limited. Bathroom out in the hall, next to the ATM and water filling station.

Great service, bustling atmosphere, and we enjoyed our coffee and breakfast. Highly recommend the Kate's Eggery (basically a croque madame on an English muffin).

Visited our daughter this past weekend and was finally able to pick up food from the deli. They were pretty busy, especially with Kenyon's Family Weekend. I assume this was a welcome change of pace for the business. Overall, the service was good. I don't want to knock them because of how busy the restaurant was. We ordered a grilled cheese on sourdough, a veggie build your own sandwich with pesto, and a chicken caprese sandwich. There were a couple of details that were missed with our order. My daughter ordered a grilled cheese on sourdough and received it on wheat bread. My sandwich was supposed to be prepared on toasted sourdough and the bread wasn't toasted. So by the time I made it to the football stadium, it was soggy. But these errors won't discourage me from returning, the next time I visit campus.

I was shocked at this deli in this small college town! Incredible NY style deli and sandwich combinations, I had such a hard time deciding. Even if there were more options around I would still come back here all the time.

Recommend the chicken salad and the pastrami along with the potato salad. Plenty of options for everyone and fast service :)

Gambier Deli is good considering where it's located. It's stuck in a small college town with little other dining options. The menu has lots of choices. It may change depending when classes are held. There's a few options for vegetarians too. It's located in Gambier where there aren't that many businesses. It's also heavily dependent on Kenyon College. When school is not in session it gets slow. It may run out of several items. That's to be expected because it gets dead around there and it isn't that busy to begin with. Be prepared to get substitutions since they'll probably be out of items. The Rosemary's Oil and Spice sandwich is good and it's not too pricey at about $5. I wanted the Yardley's Bundle of Joy but they had no hummus. They were also out of some of the breads which is annoying but there was not as much business. I would recommend visiting Gambier Deli if you're in town. It's one of the most popular businesses. The best time to go is when school is open so you get the best service.

New York style deli in Gambier Ohio! Very, very fresh and high quality food in Gambier Ohio.

As someone who eats there three or four times a week, year round, I guess you could say the food is great.You can get anything from a variety of home-made bagels, sandwiches of every combination you can think of, soups, salads, cookies. Jeanne and Stu are excellent cooks, so you are guaranteed a quality meal, no matter what you order.It would be hard to pick a favorite for each category, but any of their creamy soups would be a palate pleaser, especially the mushroom or potato. The Italian deli sub (my normal sammy) is served on a fresh French roll and is so big that I can get two, if not three meals out of it.Aside from the deli, they also run a catering business. They provide quality food and if they say they'll be there or the food will be ready, it will be done. The tray of a mixed selection of deli sandwiches is *terrific* and you can get it for any size gathering you're interested in. Especially good is their red-skinned potato salad. Took some to a family gathering and it was inhaled and everyone wanted to know who made it.Trust me, you won't go wrong eating here.

We ordered the #53 Hot Italian, the Mickeys Eggs and #8 Social Probation. All 3 were great and cooked exactly as specified. The restaurant was small and packed with college kids, with a cute coffee shop vibe. Unfortunately the service was terribly slow, it took nearly 25 minutes for 3 sandwiches. Lovely people and staff, would go again.

Food is a 10/10. The lady in charge and usually at the front counter... more like a 0/10. She has been unnecessarily rude on MULTIPLE occasions now and my business has finally been lost. Basic questions are answered with rude, passive aggressive, and snarky comments. Today, I went in to the shop at 2:04pm. The sign on the front door says 8am-3pm, as well as their website and Facebook page. The older woman who is always rude and never accommodating, yelled multiple times in front of other customers who were still eating in the deli "we're closed, we're closed, we're closed." This is the 5th negative encounter I have had with this woman and I will not be returning. Rude and terrible customer service.
