I love this little local deli. Their sandwiches are the best and always made fresh. I finally ordered the taco salad and it is delicious! Alwayd busy for lunch but you cant get a better sandwich anywhere else.

Best sandwiches around. Tri tip is amazing as are the sales and other sandwiches. Great selection.

Staff is rather slow so try your hardest to call ahead otherwise your wait time could vary up to and around 15 minutes+. Staff is not very friendly and make sure you pay attention to your place in line as the people behind the counter do not care if someone cuts in front of you, they’ll serve them anyways.Sandwiches are well priced although a bit small, but for a drink and sandwich under $10 is amazing. Do ask for extra pickles and peppers on the side, 1/4 of a single pickle and 1 tiny pepperchini definitely is not enough for a sandwich.

Great place with great sandwiches, the gals that work the counter are the bomb. Tip well these gals deserve it. Trucker friendly. Summer my co driver gives the tri tip sandwich 4 paws up.

Just damn good food made and served by really friendly, nice people. Id probably be here daily if I lived or worked in the area.This place looks pretty grungy from the photos but every table in the place was clean, the drink station was tidy, and the bathroom didnt make me want to get a shot. They also have a couple outdoor tables if you prefer to dine al fresco.

The sandwhich I got was just OK and rather small. I cant even recall the exact sandwhich, but for what I got I did not see the value in coming back. If youve ever been to a legitimate NY Deli outside NYC, you would understand. At such places you have sandwhiches piled high with meat. In comparison a standard has been set and this place was just OK.

The food is delicious. I really enjoy eating there for lunch. Good customer service and Im always greeted with smiles. I was really impresses with the catering at a family birthday party. I highly recommend the Tri-tip, Lemon chicken and the baked Mac n cheese.

Probably my 10th time coming here. Work nearby, and it seems like the service gets worse. They take forever to greet you until a tall White man comes in, then its “Heeeeyyy Happy Friday”. Food is good, work on the service though.

Pastrami sandwich not good. Cold in middle. Took over 10 minutes to prepare. Too much cheese. Wierd taste pastrami. Cut very thick. I asked for coleslaw and got the smallest amount you could possibly put. To say the least Im not coming back. Oh and btw the sandwich was super small for over $10

Really Nice ppl. The only reason I gave a 4 is because, there were no prices on the board. I had no idea if the veggie sandwich was less more or the same as the turkey sandwich or if sliced turkey is less or more then oven roasted turkey. Also didnt know if when my Wife changed the bread from roll to slice was more or less. We looked at the salads & Breakfast. Some of the items on breakfast are there but not all. Also had nothing about what they put on the sandwiches. They asked. Would be nice to see what they have to offer. Asked for a menu. Dont have. You can phone in Your order if You look up online & get the menu. I havent looked at it to see if any prices are there or if the condiments are listed. We enjoyed everything! I ate half veg then half turkey. Next day at the other halves. Still very good. I would not put the italian dressing on the veggie. For me it wasnt the right taste, But that is why You go back to restaurants to find what is right for You. They have many choices. Oh & The next day testing my Blood was right on target! Their soft roll & sourdough must not be High on Carbs! We will so be back....or send my Wife on Her way Home LOL😋🥪🥪

Excellent sandwich & service. Full leaf lettuce - not that shredded iceberg junk. Fresh, soft sliced bread, ripe tomatoes, etc. They allow you to order a half sandwich too - my fave for a small or late lunch. Even the half came with a perfect dill pickle spear & green pepper on the side. Friendly people. I will be back!

Great deli with lots of unique signature sandwiches and plenty of custom options. Hot/cold breakfast items, good selection of chips, pastries, and drinks (including beer and wine). I always try to stop by here when I am in the area! Dont forget to get a rewards card that will get you a free sandwich after 10 purchases.

I ordered a taco salad with meat. It was more American style than Mexican style with the ingredients used. It tasted good. Ill try a sandwich the next time I go. Its in an industrial area so its not the most obvious, but there are signs.

Love the Chicken Caesar Sandwich. Great variety all very fresh, generous portions. Even if you encounter a long line dont turn around you will have your order shortly. Im the one who will turn around in a flash so trust me on this. They take care of you. Feel free to Tip they deserve & earned it in every order i have made. The location must be 1 reason its over by 4pm daily. Enjoy.

I feel so very lucky that I found out this marvelous gastronomic delight. Lets be honest, not all of us are looking for nolowgo food; no taste, calories or delight; low fat and calories, low carbs blah blah blah. I work hard and I want to enjoy my lunch. Today I remembered my youth, my Dad, my sisters and I ate like I was there again. I had a REAL roasted turkey sandwich with cranberry and dressing, not processed, homogenized, pasteurized stolen kitty food passing as turkey. My workmate had the steak and pepper sandwich. He is so sweet he said his wife would enjoy it so he took home half. Might have been his way out of a cheap Friday dinner, but he enjoyed his meal also. The prices are fair and it was busy around 12:30. I will go again. Thank you for a delightful experience.

Havent been by here in a few years, so was hoping it was still good. Unfortunately, the sandwich I was craving, The Ensanada Chicken sandwich was not nearly as good as before. Not saying it was terrible but it was just not as good. That being said prices are very reasonable and even though it was lunch time, it was not crowded. Its ok for a quick bite.

What an awesome find! i just started working near Pops and stumbled in one day without high hopes. Boy was i wrong.The only thing wrong with this place is that it is in an out of the way location in the middle of an industrial area.All the food is great, the prices are excellent and the staff seem very friendly.This is exactly the kind of place we all need to support!

Pops is AHHHH-MAZING! This is forever, my go to sandwich spot. If variety is the spice of life then pops is spicy AF. A plethora of different soups, salads, chips, & beverages [including bottled BEER]. But naturally, its the service & the sandwiches that are absolutely GOLDEN. Speedy, scrumptious, & served up with a smile. Whether you go for a pops signature or create your own sandwich, you really cannot go wrong.COUPLE NOTES:-Pops is only open M-F until 4pm-The lunch hours get BUSY, so call in your order ahead of time if you happen to be pressed for time-They offer catering as well, OFFICE PARTY ANYONE?-DONT FORGET TO ASK FOR A POPS STAMP CARD, so you can get your 10th sandwich for FREE!! [cause youll be back for more, trust me] :D
