It’s a childhood staple. I just think they make some really terrific egg sandwiches and not many places can duplicate. The eggs are cooked so perfect. They use different cooking items that seem unique. Pleasure to eat their yummy food. Good place to buy some lotto too

I’ve basically grown up with this place. PS: It’s now«Rocky’s Deli». The egg sandwiches are excellent and super cheap. Every morning before work I stop here to get my breakfast and enjoy them every time. They have a good amount of assorted pastries for very cheap prices. The deli sandwiches are HUGE! Seriously, split it in half and share or eat the other half later. The smoking issue that is mentioned in other reviews is no longer an issue as they are not smoking indoors anymore(to my knowledge). Anyways, not exactly a 5 star establishment, but the food and convenience make it every bit worth 4!

I’m a super huge fan of this hole in the all kind of scary looking store. Is it really a deli? I’m not sure. They have the standard convenience foods, but what most people come here for is the Bacon, Egg, & Cheese sandwiches. Served on a hard roll, with perfectly cooked bacon(definitely cooked, crunch enough without being overdone) — You’re in for a heavenly experience for less than $ 3 and you’ll be in and out in about 2 minutes.

Their breakfast sandwiches are really good. I don’t care for the rest of the store but the food was good enough to make up for it. I could eat the sandwiches every day.

It’s like walking into an ashtray. This place is truly disgusting. I would not buy a pack of gum from here. Had heard all about how good the egg sandwiches are but just could not bring myself to walk into the place further than I had already. It’s like those Fabreeze commercials, where they bring the blindfolded people into a crack house and ask them what they smell. Only here there were no blindfolds and no fabreeze. Just keep driving…

John’s Deli is a wonderful dive that is affectionately known as the«Valley Casino», because when you enter, it’s full of old people smoking cigarettes and scratching lottery tickets. The place is not very clean but their egg sandwiches are amazing and cheap. I’ve had some of their deli sandwiches and they are decent. Customer service varies. John and Rocky(those can’t be their real names) are friendly, pleasant and work very quickly to get everyone’s order. The women(other than the older lady who refills coffee) are surly and do not work very efficiently. If you are into people watching, John’s Deli is a must!!!

Sort of an all-encompassing convenience store, John’s Deli is good place to go if you need something at the last minute or forgot to grab something at the grocery store. I can’t guarantee the freshness of the non-packaged foods, however. You couldn’t pay me to buy something from their«deli.» Also, the place always wreaks of cigarette smoke, so if you find that offensive, you might want to steer clear. That being said teenagers love this place because they have munchies galore. Chips, candy, ice cream, all sorts of soft drinks, etc. All reasonably priced, too. Many people love the freshly made bacon and egg sandwiches, and I do agree. For whatever reason, they are delicious. Just don’t think too much about the prep. process.
