River Street Deli - Chattanooga

Bruce and his team know how to get the job done. It is Excellent every time. I have never been disappointed with a meal at river street deli.

Definitely the best sandwich shop in Chattanooga. I usually go on Fridays and get the Cuban sandwich. It is better than the ones I had in Little Havana, which seemed pretty authentic. My coworkers and I go and they get the Reuben, and they are never disappointed. Monday 's are the Stromboli, and they are fantastic too. The owner is actually from NY, which explains those saying he tends to be 'rude '. He 's never been rude to me, I think he 's just got that classic NY demeanor. He 'll recommend the special every time, which is usually what you should get, but if you go off the standard menu, I like the Salsalito turkey. My bill with a sandwich only is usually about $8-$9. Add a side and drink and it 's more like $12. It 's worth it to me though for real authentic NY style deli sandwiches, and less than what I 'd pay at a sit down restaurant with tip included.

Lunch time today. To start I 'm not sure I 've tried so hard to find a place. Just me as after I did I 'm awfully glad I persisted and made it. If you go look for the building that says 'Hardware ' in black letters. The entrance iss under a set of blue stairs. Order at one end pay and pickup at the other end. Clearly a lunch Hotspot so go early. By 12:15 people were looking for a place to sit.<br/ <br/ I had the roast beef sandwich! Possibly the 2nd best sandwich I 've ever eaten. The beef was mid rare and with arugula and gorgon zola cheese. Seriously delicious. I ate every morsel. The guy at the counter talk me into a small cup of soup. $2.00. Again. ..very very flavorful with some mozzarella shaved into a vegetable base soup. Seasoned bread squares for crackers. <br/ <br/ $8.95 for the sandwich and total with a soda was 14.00.<br/ <br/

This place is probably the best sandwich shop I've ever been to but also keep in mind I haven't been to much places. But in the Chattanooga and surrounding area, the best! My husband has been going for years and introduced it to me when we got married 6 years ago.

I miss it. Due to surgery, haven't been able to bust Bruce's' chops ! Hidden gem of Chatt Town!
