B & D Deli Works

This is one of my favorite delis, the reason for the four star rating is their hours are not very convenient, they are not open late or on Sunday’s. Also, they are very expensive for a deli and when ordering on the phone staff seem confused and have messed up my order on one occasion. There food is definitely great and the highlight of this place I enjoy the huge pickle that is included.

I finally tried B&D for the first time. The place was very clean and neat. I loved the old timers who are clearly there every day in the corner. Lol! In regards to my breakfast sandwich I love that it has two eggs than your usual one from other places. I made the mistake to forget to ask for my bacon well done because I don’t like the bacon stringy or that tender. The hard roll was fresh which is awesome. I gave it 3 stars because for one breakfast sandwich, and oj, and side of home fires, being over 10 bucks is a bit pricey. Some
Local establishments you can get a complete breakfast meal including coffee and toast for less.

B & D is clean, fresh, and delicious! I have never had a bad meal there. This is my go-​to deli, and it is the standard for which I compare others.

Lots of good sandwich options. Pretty decent breakfast, too! Worthwhile little sandwich shop.

Been passing this place for months… decided to go in. Got the pastrami and egg special for 5 bucks. Delicious and quick. Will certainly be back.

Deli works is without a doubt my favorite place in Hamden to get breakfast/​lunch. I’ve been here a countless number of times with friends, and they have never disappointed. It is always clean and the staff is extremely friendly. The décor is very cute and feels like a real deli. Their menu has a great variety of breakfast and lunch foods, there is something for everyone, and everything is always fresh. Their home fries are my favorite ever, and they have homemade cookies and fudge that is always a great treat to take home with you. If I could come here for a meal every day, I probably would!

I’ve been coming to this place for the past six months or so. Breakfast is phenomenal, I always get a mushroom omelet with American cheese and peppers on it. Sometimes I get home fries on it too, mmm! Other times, I get the home fries on the side. The home fries are different than any I’ve ever had, they’re soft and buttery and delicious. You can always find regulars enjoying their breakfast in the mornings, which is a good sign.
I’ve had lunch here a few times too, including today. The totally tuna club is really good. The rye bread isn’t too thick and you can taste how fresh it is. The fries are the best I’ve ever had! They’re super crispy on the outside but also light and not greasy or soggy at all. The seasoning on them is incredible.
The people that work here are unbelievably friendly as well! I definitely hope this deli sees many more years here in Hamden!

Really good food. My burger was delicious! Also the magic bar cookies are pretty good. Will be back.

B & D has become one of my favorites here in town! The food and service is excellent! The deli itself is very cute and clean, always decorated for different holidays. All of the food is homemade which is part of the charm. My all time favorite sandwich/​meal is B & D’s meatloaf which reminds me of my mom’s dish (I look forward to this on their menu because she passed about 5yrs ago and I miss her cooking). The black forest sandwich is also delicious. They also have quite a selection of goodies– cookies, bread pudding, chocolate dipped strawberries, etc :) I would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant to any of my friends :)

So I just experienced the black and blue panini. Which is roast beef, blue cheese, raw onion; all press into a lovely panini I between 2 thick slices of bread. IT WAS AMAZING! I surely will be working my way through their menu. Highly recommend.

Deli was clean and bright. Food was excellent. Western omelet was perfect and the home fries were superb. Large portions — I left stuffed. Must stop in! I highly recommend.

Went for breakfast with my wife.
Just opened under new ownership. Place was spotlessly clean, service was quick and friendly.
My wife got the eggs and hashbrowns, both were excellent. I got the #3 French Toast and it was fantastic. Very generous portions, highly recommend.

This deli opened yesterday and it was surprisingly busy when I picked up my Tuna Salad Melt panini. There were at least six people working and it has more of a Subway set up now where there is a deli counter. Also, the kitchen is open so you see them making sandwiches. I love the set up and the uniforms. Everyone wears a blue or tie dyed blue shirt. A lot of the décor is blue too.
My panini was served with a generously sized pickle and both were «A-​OK».
