Jay Dee's Deli

4.6 / 5 (139 reviews)

Description

A longtime, no-frills deli celebrated for reliably good breakfast and lunch sandwiches, a cozy front porch and a quiet patio that give it a homey charm. The tightly focused, limited menu favors prepared foods and quick takeout; seating is minimal. While many praise friendly service, others report brusque staff and inconsistent hygiene. The interior is dated and shows signs of grease, and parking/visibility are constrained by the neighboring post office and roadwork. Expect straightforward food in an unpolished, politically blunt setting—great for locals and breakfast seekers, less so for the picky or health-conscious.

Quick service at this hidden gem of a deli. The Breakfast Philly is an amazing sandwich!

I dined there recently, and the sandwich I ordered had an unusual taste. I didn’t think much of it at the time and ended up discarding half of it. Unfortunately, I felt quite unwell for the rest of the evening. The grease on the walls was excessive, almost as if you could scrape it off with a shovel. I won't be returning.

This is one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've enjoyed in a long time.

Have stopped in here now and then for years. It's a fairly small deli with not the best parking. It being adjacent to the postoffice can make it not the easiest to get in and out of. This is especially true since the post office closed the other entrance/exit because of the bridge update Made visibility very poor, creating a hazard. So it can be tight getting in and out for parking. But not drastically so.I like the front porch area. It gives it a homey feel. The inside is dated because in reality, it is an older building. The deli itself is more of a no frills deli. They do not have a large assortment of items. They tend to stay on a smaller scale and concentrate more on their prepared food. I have had numerous sandwiches both breakfast and lunch type. I have never had a bad sandwich over many years. But to be fair, some are better than others.I have sat to meet friends and have coffee and a bite at one of the two or three tables they have for their customers. Again, it's a small deli. But the lack of product choices allows for being able to sit and have coffee and a bite to eat. It is a nice trade off compared to busier deli's.All in all it's a nice little deli. From my experience this is not a politically correct type of place. As such people feel welcome no matter what they believe . If you're OK with that, you might like it. If only your opinions matter, maybe not.
