The other reviews are right. This place is really good. I had the veggie sandwich (and I'm not a vegetarian) and it was SOOOO GOOD!!!!! The sourdough hoagie is special and so soft and perfect. I'm not quite sure why that sandwich was so good I just know it was. It does have cheese so it's not vegan but I'd recommend it even if you're not vegetarian and just want a lighter dish. The bartender who took my order was really nice and friendly and the food came out in less than 5 minutes. I also got the shrimp bisque which was just ok but honestly it could have been awful and I'd have given this place 5 stars for how good the veggie sandwich was. It's your typical bar ambience but not too loud. Next time I'm in town I'm definitely going to sit and have a drink while enjoying my sandwich.

Was in Manhattan this weekend for the Arizona vs. Kansas State football game and had a few K-State alumni in AZ recommend this place.After walking around campus for a couple hours on Saturday morning, I popped in thinking I would get a quick bite and drink. I was told there was a 45 minute wait, but pleasantly surprised when the hostess Mallory called me back moments later saying she found me a spot at the bar after two folks showed up missing a member of their three-person party.A K-Stater recommended I order a Nancy and Pastrami with sweet and spicy mustard, which was a terrific suggestion. While I am not entirely sure what goes in a Nancy, I did enjoy how sweet and refreshing the beer was. My sandwich was great as well. High quality ingredients, and a great ratio of meat, to veggies, to bread.I was then encouraged by a number of other Rock-A-Belly goers to try a Summer Beer, which is a large pint of PBR, with a splash of vodka and lemonade. Let me just say...WOW!While I won't disclose just how many of those I drank, I would highly recommend ordering one if you pop in.I also enjoyed a couple Bloody Mary's, including one with Mallory, yes the same Mallory from above, and thoroughly enjoyed my interaction with everyone in the bar. Rich, one of the co-owners, is one of the coolest and most down to earth folks I have ever met. He's super easy going, incredibly kind to all his customers and staff, and my beverage was never empty! His daughter, Ainsley(?), also works at the restaurant, which only adds to the small-town, family feel of this bar.Overall, this is one of the best bars and hangouts I have ever been to, not just in Manhattan, but in general. I would encourage anyone in town to make this a must stop on their trip. Cheers!

Right across the street from the hotel I was staying in, so it was a convenient walk here for lunch. My favorite thing about this place was the ambiance. We were greeted immediately upon entering and chose a seat out back on the patio which was bright and colorful. We were immediately given menus and asked for our drink order. There are a lot of drinks to choose from. My go to is rum, but there are very few on the menu that contain rum.Asked about the Chili Cheese Dip, but it is seasonal so it want available. Went with the Spinach Artichoke Dip instead, and it was pretty good. I ordered the Chicken Salad which comes with an assortment of ingredients that work together. The Naan Bread was really good and my favorite part of the plate. My friend ordered the BLT and it was really really good. I think next time I'll either get that or try a sandwich. Service was good throughout as two servers checked the table 6 or 7 times during the meal.

Love, love, love RAB. I check their daily special during the work week and have gone many times solely for that reason but their regular menu is great. Their hummus is the best. There is a good variety of beers on tap for the few handles they have and you can count on a quality IPA among them.The place has a neat vibe and the patio is worth checking out even in the heat of the summer.Friendly staff and always good service.If you're visiting Manhattan, you should take the time to go here.

The food here is amazing! They have a small menu with just sandwiches and salads... some soup too. The sandwiches are so yummy! You can add as many toppings as you want and pick your choice of bread and side as well. The service was great and super fast. This is a great place for lunch... not fancy at all but has a cute diner vibe to it. More of a lunch place than dinner.

This place is a true gem in an otherwise typical college town. The owners and staff are worth the visit alone! The decor is spot on for a small town, but trust me there is nothing small town about this place! The food is incredible- the pastrami was even better than NYC!! Their homemade mustard is the key and will not be easily duplicated. If you crave a deli sandwich and think you won't find one to write home about in Manhattan, Kansas, you are wrong. Get yourself to Rock-a-Belly bar and deli, pull up a chair and enjoy! We did!

Best sandwich in Manhattan. It's not even a competition. Small shop with a tiny kitchen, but it's worth the wait.

This has been a favorite place of mine for decades. But the owner, Rich Markel, drunk, had the gall to make passes at my wife while I was present. His advances were summarily refused.While I stepped away to the restroom, Rich grabbed my wife's arm. This is the ugliest and most disrespectful thing to have happened to us . We will not go back. When you go to a bar, you expect the owner/manager to make sure that the patrons are treated with respect and are safe. That is not the case with Rock-A-Belly Deli's owner.

Seated us right away on the porch. Our server Lauren was amazing! We were on a time crunch and she was very attentive so we were able to manage getting where we needed to be. The food was delicious! We had the cheese dip, chicken salad, roast beef sandwich, and the Reuben. Thank you Lauren for the wonderful service and ensuring we didn't leave our phone behind!
