The people on the Williston Rd location are great and very friendly and the food is good. I recommend them to anyone and I think their specials are great. My favorite lunch is the chicken pot pie…mmmmm

Well, I wish any of their 3 locations would answer the phone so I could place an order to go. I’ve tried calling all the restaurants (it’s Wednesday at 6:15 pm) and nobody answers!

Don’t expect McDonalds-style or Dennys-style food, service or anything else. This truly is a Gainesville treasure- our town’s version of local flavor. Each of the locations is a little different, but the menu is the same and the atmospheres are similar. A little funky, but the food is wonderful. Try the ruben, the belly-buster breakfast or any of the fresh vegetables. The owners are nice people and community-engaged. My favorite Gvl restaurant.

I dine frequently with my dad at the 13th street location and have found the staff to be very friendly and accommodating. They are also at times extremely busy. I always see that they are working hard and doing their best. As a nurse I can appreciate juggling several things at once. My dad loves the place and I would recommend them to anyone. Mgmt has come to my table in the past. They are college kid servers mostly, pat them on the back and encourage them and leave a good tip. Remember when you were their age. I love the organic food selection and options for more healthy eating. Helga Preece

We dined at the 13th street location this morning. It took 10 minutes for anyone to get our drink order, we placed our food order at the same time. Only to find out that they didn’t have what we wanted. So once we finally decided again what we would like, when they brought the food out the order was wrong. The service was horrible, the staff was unkempt and the food wasn’t all that great either. I will only dine at the 43rd street location from here on out.

If you’ve had a bad experience at the 43rd st Deli,
it’s probably because you weren’t at the Williston
Rd location. The food is excellent and the service
is outstanding. The employees are a great group of
fun and friendly people. Become a regular patron of
the Deli, and you’ll be adopted into this one-of-a-
kind family.

This is where I take out of town guests for a hearty Southern breakfast. Lots of choices as well as simple food done well. Much better biscuits than that biscuit restaurant across the street. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable, but you risk having screaming kids next to your table because it is very family friendly.

We have a new fave lunch and breakfast place in town. Been here for both. We originally drove to the 13th St. place but a sign on the door directed us here. Not sure what’s going on there.

Breakfast - My Extreme Hash Browns with three cheeses were above standard but the LDC’s veggie omelet was very delicious. We also split a pancake just to compare it to Perkins. It didn’t compare. Service was attentive and friendly.

Lunch - It was right at 2pm, breakfast cutoff time. Our waiter volunteered that he would hold the kitchen so we could still order breakfast if we hurried. So my LDC ordered a tofu kinda scrable thing. with hash browns. She didn’t think it was all that good but didn’t have the heart to send it back considering they extended the cutoff time for her. I on the other hand got a hot pastrami sammie and although the meat was a little thicker than I preferred, I enjoyed it. It was served on very soft rye bread and smeared with spicy brown mustard. Very good.

This place isn’t a real deli like you would find on the real 42nd St. but it’s a welcome substitute to me. I’d like to try their liver and onions sometime. Go figure. . .

Good food for breakfast and lunch. Lots of choices for breakfast. The lunch menu is typical deli fare, plus daily specials.

Good food. Usually decent service. Good prices. Only open for breakfast & lunch. Nomal deli sandwiches & such but they also have great lunch specials every day … pork chops, pot roast, etc.

I have to say that despite my lackluster review of the other 43rd St deli, I like this restaurant, because it has good family American dishes. I ordered liver and onions and it was right on the mark. Their breakfast is actually better than the other original 43rd st deli.
