“ My new sandwich spot! What a fresh and delicious sandwich with the bread as the highlight. It's located in an unassuming plaza, open parking and modest by nature. The place also boasts a huge menu, will be back to try the rest out! ”
“ Just had a chance to try out this new deli and I was very delighted. Food was great; fresh and delicious. I had the vegetable sandwich and did not have to request the ingredients. It had all the items I love to eat and the bread of my choice already. The service was professional and polite. The ambiance calm, even though we sat outside because the weather was beautiful. The outside was clean and well kept. I plan to return on my lunch days in the future. :-) Recommended! ”
“ Sandwich was tasty! I ordered the Maverick without the sprouts and the fixings were fresh and the flavor unique. The squaw bread was flavorful and a nice compliment to the spiciness. Definitely recommend to try this new sandwich shop. ”
“ The small shop is welcoming if a little quiet. The selections of sandwiches are varied but not overwhelming. A hidden little shop but well worth the visit! Specifically I enjoyed the Italian sandwich, it came out fast and full of fillings. Recommended! ”
“ Found this place on a whim while out shopping The sandwiches we got were big, filled, delicious! If you're in the area 10/10 recommend! ”
“ A great deli with fresh ingredients and staff who take pride in making a sandwich. With the ease of online ordering it is easy to forget what passion and art goes into the food we eat when we never interact with those who prepare it. Tried Second Reef Deli for the first time today and what a gem it is. Nothing fancy or trendy about the interior of the deli, but that doesn't matter when the sandwiches are so delicious! I came after the lunch rush and got the chance to witness the care taken to make our sandwiches. You might think I'm overthinking what it takes to make a sandwich but not here. They didn't slap the food on the bread and quickly spread the aioli about. They didn't skimp on the produce or have parts of the bread barely covered with toppings. They took time to make sure it all fit and was made carefully so eat bite is satisfying. There is a ton to choose from here and even the fountain machine ice was exceptional. Bits of broken ice with cubes produced a faster chill to my Diet Coke than when it's just cubes. Didn't spill out either and overfill the cup with ice so I was pleasantly surprised. If you want a high quality deli sandwich and a great price, you need to stop at Second Reef Deli! ”
“ When you're in the mood for a an awesome sammich, Second Reef Deli should definitely be on the list. Having been here now a couple times, it's quickly becoming my go-to when I have a sandwich craving to fill! My favorites are the pastrami sandwiches, both the grinder and the Ruben. The bread is always toasted perfectly, the pastrami super yummy and the balance of all the ingredients is perfect, never too much bread, or too much meat or too much fluff. The service is always great. My last visit an older gentleman was there with (I believe) his wife, and while I was waiting he walked around giving waiting patrons a bag of chips and and said "here's a bag of chips while you wait!" Now how awesome is that! I've had a few different sandwiches now and have not been disappointed. Great food, great service and a great price, what's not to love! ”
“ Not bad service is a little stoic but they get the job done here. Had an Italian sandwich, forgot the name, the one with three types of meat and provolone. Was rather bland but did the job. I can tell how good a sandwich is by how fast I eat and finish it. Normally, it takes me 2 minutes to finish a remarkable sandwich. Took me 10 minutes to finish this and I was hungry. Cool and comfy outdoor seating area and inside the vibe is dead. Not a bad place but unremarkable. ”
