Deli Boys

For the guys that work there I don’t know if you’re owners or not but you sure act like it. Awesome welcoming service and good breakfast bagel too.

This was my first trip there and it’s not the direction I usually walk when I get lunch at work. I was actually trying to look up another deli but the Unilocal reviews for this place were so good I decided to check it out. Don’t get confused — when I went to the corner of Long and High I was disappointed bc I thought they had shut down. But, it’s just that their old location still had the sign up. The current location is just past the corner and on the other side of the street. I got the BLT and a small house salad. The staff was really friendly and I didn’t have to wait long. I’m glad I double checked the address because my sandwich was excellent and now I have a good place to walk to get lunch regularly.

While I hate to follow the herd, I’m going to have to on this one. This place is great. always fresh, always fast, and ALWAYS friendly. I love that they remember your face if not your name as well. We were welcomed back after an accidental hiatus. There is always a fast moving line (good sign of a great place) and most of the time while you are in line you are praying that someone is about done with their lunch so you can find a place to eat your own lunch (also another indicator of a great establishment). Keep on rocking Deli Boys!

I’ve had their bagel breakfast sandwich and their Italian sub. Both were delicious. Service was good. People were friendly and got sandwiches out quickly.

Great lunch spot for something quick to either take out or eat in. Staff is super friendly, prices are very reasonable, and everything is really clean. Guy at the register has a ridiculous knack for remembering names. Had the heavyweight (toasted roast beef, corned beef, salami, provolone, cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, banana peppers, and thousand island). Excellent mix of veggies and meat… Not too heavy. They also have thin pizzas that looked good, but I didn’t have one yet. There’s a subway next door… Not sure how it stays in business. Definitely will be back.

I so wanted to like this place. The guy at the register is friendly and remembers everyone’s face/​name. The sandwiches were pretty mediocre though. The Reuben was definitely better than the Philly Steak, which really shouldn’t be called a Philly Steak at all. It’s roast beef with raw onions & peppers, and provolone on a baguette. The meat and onions & peppers really needed to be cooked on a griddle. Also, the ventilation was poor as they do not have a hood. I left smelling like the kitchen. Service good. Food and ambiance need work.

One of the best places in Columbus. Incredible service… the boys are always super friendly and quick to get food out. The man working the cashier mixed up my name after not seeing me in over a month and a half… he offered to buy my food. I declined because I demand that a place as good as this takes my money. The food is great. Fresh, quality ingredients. Wasn’t crazy about their breakfast sub, but everything else has been fantastic! Forget everywhere else. Make this your regular lunch spot!

The staff was friendly, place is clean, prices are reasonable. I will definitely be back

Everything you want and nothing you don’t. My (and most of my coworkers’) go-​to spot for lunch.

This is a great place for a quick delicious hot lunch. Get the caesar salad, any sandwiches, and chicken croissant. The soup is okay. I haven’t had the pizza yet but I heard that it’s good as well!

Fast and friendly, i hadn’t been in for about a month at one point, and they remember you by name. Too many good options to mention but a few that are notable: the heavy weight, the breakfast sandwich, beer cheese soup. Only open breakfast and lunch, weekdays, easy seating with 90s rock playing in the background, old school Beck is on right now

These guys work hard, fast, and friendly! If you’ve been there more than 3 times they probably call you by name. The food is Excellent and very much worth the low prices. Personal FAVORITE is the cheeseburger sub on Wednesdays it’s the best thing ever and their macaroni salad is the bomb. The new location is larger and seats more though can sometimes get filled with grill smoke but not too bad.
Definitely a place to check out downtown for fast, good eats at reasonable prices!

Had some time to kill before my MegaBus trip to Chicago. Glad I decided to grab a bite here.
Service was friendly and fast, food was very good, and price was very reasonable.
The guy told me the make their own stuff — soups, meatballs, etc. I’m gonna plan on getting downtown for the MegaBus early enough to stop back and try some of their other stuff.

Deli Boys have the best sandwiches in town. Their Club Sub and BLT are amazing! I just can’t enough of it. Also, do try the jalapeño chips they got.
The owner is very friendly and he actually remembers the name of all the customers. We had a bet that if he forgets my name then I will get free lunch, I of-​course lost the bet. :) haha

If you are looking for a good sandwich and welcoming environment this might be your place.
I was in need of a GOOD and quick lunch. I came here on the recommendation of the concierge at my hotel. As we walked in the door, we found ourselves in a line of about 10 people or so. There were also another 20 to 30 people sitting down eating.
As I began eavesdropping on the conversations around me (Come on, who doesn’t do this?) I quickly realized that many of these people were regulars. I asked the guy in front of me what his «go to» is, and he mentioned the meatball sandwich.
I already had my eye on the ruben. Combine that with the fact that I almost never order anything with meatballs because most people/​restaurants can’t produce quality meatballs, I did not take his advice.
I ordered the ruben, and it was very good, not great, but very good. My wife ordered a hot Italian. Now because I was born in Philadelphia, I never order Italians HOT. But my wife likes weird things (like lettuce and tomatoes on her cheesesteak) so I ordered one for her. I have to admit, it was really good, better than my ruben. The roll her sandwich came on was the perfect combination of crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside.
I ordered the chicken breast sandwich for my toddlers to split. I ended up eating half as they are not big sandwich fans. The bread was on point, but the rest of the sandwich was just okay.
They have a nice variety of chips… which is nice.
One final thought, and the reason I gave this place 4 stars, the customer service was great. That line I told you about? I was sitting down and taking my first bite in about 15 minutes which was pretty impressive. Also, I loved the guy at the counter taking orders. He was personable, and when he had the time he chatted with me while I waited for my food. I felt like I had been there before.
When we were leaving he asked how everything was… he called me by my first name. With all of those customers, he remembered my name.

Great food and great service. Location is easy access. The service was surpisingly fast even with the long line.
