I decided to eat lunch here before my hair appt closeby. I took a few minutes to glance over the…read moremenu and chose a small grilled chicken salad. Wow! The freshness, brightness and balance of all the ingredients won me over. I even got another one to give to a friend. Also, your coffee is better than DD or Stuck up bucks. I will definitely stop in again soon. The crew seems friendly and dedicated to giving each customer a pleasant respite from his or her busy day.

I've walked past this deli countless times and finally stopped in recently…read more It's very clean inside and I think the constant construction outside doesn't do them justice. I was immediately greeted by someone behind the counter and it was a super quick turnaround between me ordering my Italian combo and getting it at my table. My sandwich was absolutely huge! I can't remember the last time I've had a sandwich this big and I think it was pretty affordable. I do wish that they had iced coffee and more baked good options though!

Tried Pan Sobao Deli recently and overall it was a decent experience. The food was okay not bad,…read morebut nothing that really stood out as memorable. It definitely satisfied the craving, just didn't quite hit that "wow" factor. Service was fine and the atmosphere was pretty standard, nothing to complain about but nothing particularly special either. It's the kind of spot that works if you're in the area and need something quick and reliable. I'd probably come back again, but more out of convenience than excitement.

Good breakfast sandwiches but generic…read more Came here on a whim, saw they were open so I went inside. Guy at the counter stated they were in soft open and the menu was limited. Opted for the sausage egg and cheese on their signature bread. The inside is decorated sparsely. Space is small but not crowded. The guy at the counter had some difficulty with the register, mentioning that they use a different pos system from creamy rolls. Implying either he was the owner or was in the employ of the creamy rolls location. The sandwich itself was okay. Good crispy grilled bread, egg was cooked, sausage was nuked, cheese was melted American. Nothing about the sandwich was exciting or amazing, it was basic but functional. Price wise is reasonable for the portion. The biggest issue is location. There's 3-4 solid breakfast spots in that stretch of road alone, and 7-8 within a short drive. To compete, you need to offer something either as good as, better than, or different enough to drive home the sales. It's functional but is kinda lacking in any unique offerings. My recommendations would be to add some imagery of a pan sobao outside so those who don't know what it is can figure it out at a glance on the street. From my google searching, looks like it's usually served on its own with a strong cup of cafe con leche. Make that a combo on the menu. Make sure to display your breads by the counter once business starts to pick up, always offer to warm up breads before serving, and maybe consider branching out to arepas or pan de Mallorca to capture more of the market. As of right now, it's good but isn't unique and doesn't quite shine enough to overthrow the other breakfast spots. If you want a deli sandwich, they make a good bread. But there's still some tweaks to be made

Whole Deli is one of those rare gems you stumble upon once and then keep coming back to for years…read more I've been stopping here every time I travel to Rocky Hill since February 2008, and it has never once disappointed me. It's a fairly unassuming spot from the outside, but the food is absolutely out of the park. My go‑to breakfast order is the quintessential BaconEggAndCheeseOnAHardRollSaltPepper (IYKYK). They nail it every single time -- simple, classic, perfect. For lunch, the "Sweetness" sandwich has been my longtime favorite. It's a unique and surprisingly perfect combination: Black Forest ham, Swiss cheese, crisp red apple slices, and honey mustard on a sub roll. Pair it with one of their deli salads and a bag of chips and you've got an outstanding lunch that hits every note. I only wish I had a deli like this back home in Western NY. It's absolutely something I miss between trips. If you're anywhere near Rocky Hill, do yourself a favor and stop in. Whole Deli is the real deal.

Note: this review is from March of 2023, after so much has changed. I started going here the summer…read moreof 2022 when a few of us tiptoed back into the office. No more Max Bibo, no more Church & Main, Dunkin D bailed, jeez I can't even remember where else we used to eat, there was that old irascible Alsatian dude running the "French" sandwich place... anyway, these guys felt like the only game in town after everyone else had folded. And they're great! They hustle like mad during the rush, so a long line just blazes through. And this is hugely important to me, because it says they value not only your time as a part of their value prop, but also their own! And high throughput need not mean low quality; our pals here listen and execute as requested. Loads of options, the great chip selection as noted elsewhere, and a decent assortment of drinks in the back. But what I like the best, even more than the customary "Hello big boss!" greeting that I (and probably 42 other not-so-big bosses) get, is the dogged determination to create and deliver a needed, wanted product despite some not-so-small odds. I'm in here twice a week on average, and if I weren't trying to lose weight by bringing in a salad the other days it would be 4 times. Love these guys

I ordered a sandwich that came with pepper jack cheese and a chunky tomato spread, which I asked for on the side. The spread had a familiar taste, similar to salsa. The sandwich was supposed to come with bacon, but it was accidentally left off. Once I mentioned it, they brought it out on the side. I also ordered pancakes and added cream cheese and strawberries. The pancakes were just okay. nothing special, but not bad either. I enjoy trying different local spots whenever I'm in the area, so I always go in excited for the experience. Overall, this visit was decent. It was a little difficult finding this location at first, but there is a directory in the plaza that helps guide you to what you're looking for.

The italiano was good I just wasn't crazy about the bread and I'd add spicy brown mustard and extra cheese next time. The turkey ham bacon grinder was good just needed pickles (which I added at home) and the chicken bacon wrap was perfect. Service was a young lady who was very nice in store. Also! They had blue raspberry popsicles!! I've been looking for these and craving them for almost two years now, I would come back for those alone but also the sandwiches.

I need to start this review by emphasizing the fact that my grilled chicken sandwich was really,…read morereally, really good! I mean absolutely delicious! It was tender, juicy, flavorful grilled chicken on fresh bread with some absolutely kicking honey mustard. I will 100% go back to this place because The sandwich was near perfection. That being said, the service was seriously subpar. By that I mean, both slow and particularly unwelcoming. In addition, I feel the need to mention that we chose to stay there to eat, and both the tables and the salt and pepper shakers were absolutely filthy. So, despite the fact that it wasn't a perfect experience... their menu is really extensive and the food is delicious, so I'm sure we'll visit again sometime! Maybe we will order ahead and get our food to go!
