Ellen's Deli - Lords Valley

Pleasantly surprised! Just passing through on a road trip, husband and I stopped here thinking it was actually the deli advertised on the freeway signs (clever business location move? . Stepped in to restaurant, kinda shabby pieced together. Might call it humble but it lead us to presume our food might be mediocre at best. A lady happily greeted us offered a menu, which was filled with your average deli options. When receiving our food (both ordered turkey/roast beef hero with oil/vinegar , we were both surprised at how yummy it looked. Biting into it was just as pleasant. The bread was fresh delicious, meats/cheeses freshly sliced, roast beef not stringy like some, the oil/vinegar was a yummy balsamic which we found unique tasty! A dive, but a dive worth visiting!

My husband and I stopped by for a quick breakfast. I had an omelet with home fries and toast, while my husband opted for a breakfast sandwich. The food was delicious, fresh, and satisfying—perfect for breakfast!

Delicious homemade soup served in generously sized bowls. The deli sandwiches from Boar's Head are substantial and satisfying. Add to that the great prices and friendly service, and you've got a fantastic dining experience!

I stopped by looking for an alternative to fast food and had a very disappointing experience. The first issue was a man smoking right outside the door, which filled the restaurant with cigarette smoke. Additionally, the inside was quite dirty! We ended up leaving without even placing an order.

I highly advise against dining here. I ordered food and paid for it, but was horrified by the cleanliness of the place. Despite my concerns, I attempted to eat my sandwich. However, when I took a bite and looked up to see a thick layer of dust and grease on the ceiling fan, I nearly lost my appetite completely. I ended up leaving without eating anything. Just steer clear of this place.
