"This is my 1st visit, but my daughters family love it here, I think the side salad was fresh and tasty, my sandwich the roast beef with Au 'ju.. was hot and tasty. My daughters favorite the Godfather ' had great fillings, and roll delicious, there is ' great fresh cookies.. price is comparable to other Deli 's and meat obviously better quality. The gentleman waiting on me upfront was a tad disinterested, preoccupied maybe, and I did feel rushed to get my called in order after I arrived, pay and hurry out. But I 'm sure I 'll visit again, for the baked items looked tasty.. not a busy time but maybe feel more comfortable to pop in next time with my daughter who frequents the deli often and perhaps is why her customer service was much better than my visit. I 'd give this visit a 5 only for the food, but customer service with the gentleman was lacking and would be a barely 3, and no I 'm not a visitor but a local who definitely believes in supporting my locally owned restaurants, but get another one to work the counter, for it is not a welcome I appreciate after paying more and tipping better.. thanks . 10/2020 This is my 1st time since the Covid began that I have ordered here, I actually called in person to the restaurant, not using the online site, it was a different experience than my last, though I have had food purchased here that was good) but as for my experience with the young lady that assisted me, I was impressed with her courtesy, helpfulness, her ability to take my order with no attitude as I 've experienced a couple times with a gentleman in the past, on top of that, the food was cooked exactly as I requested, with no issues or attitude, 5 stars for that alone.. when I picked up my order inside, she was pleasant but efficient and even with my added additional drinks added had no issue and after getting to the house to eat with my daughter granddaughter... they were happy with the taste, but even better I was happy..I got the prime rib au 'ju sub and it tasted awesome, the last time I had one, it wasn 't done as requested, this time it was, the meat was delicious, the Au 'ju a tasty addition and on the side as I requested, which kept it from being soggy before eating) thank you.. and to the employee a sweet helpful young lady, thank you for your great customer service.. you need to keep her at the counter. I would most definitely say the price, which in all honesty may seem a bit more than I would usually pay, but this time was not the case) they are abiding by the 6ft. And wearing a mask, which as a chronically ill heart patient is much appreciated..I look forward to my next treat.. and say 5stars all the way.. keep up the great food UPDATE 7/2021 great food, French Dip is so awesome, soft hoagie roll, auju is good enough to drink straight, I have seen the customer service over past couple years improve with the sweet and helpful young ladies at the counter, as a customer going thru major health issues, they have went above beyond to exceed my expectations, and I can eat there food and really enjoy it even though I have issues with my diet, this is a treat every time I eat here now.. highly recommend, no its not fried or French fries on the menu, its what it 's called, a Delli but the best I know on the entire Outer Banks..so check it out you won 't be disappointed..and it 's worth the drive from the beach to the Quant town of Manteo."
