    Cute Valentine's Day tree!

    I didn't take a photo of the food because it was devoured before I even thought of my phone. My husband and I visited this deli because we wanted something quick and delicious before our flight out. Man was this place sooo sooo good. My husband got the special of the day I think it was the southwest turkey dip? Something like that. He ate it in a blink of an eye. It was cheesy, turkey, delicious. I got the lil bear sandwich and it had so much cheese, ham, salami...so good. It was $30 for 2 sandwiches, 2 drinks and the chips come free with the meal. It was well worth it. Amazing.

    This place does not disappoint. If your reading this message then you are looking for something good to eat in the area. Finish reading my post then look no further. Head to big bear deli now! You won't be disappointed. Just hope that they are open when you decide to go. They close early. They were closing minutes before our party walked in and invited us to stay and eat and take our time. Ordered a TBR melt! I don't think I'll be ordering anything else any time soon, it's so good !!! A hot sandwich. Full of meat! Also ordered the broccoli cheese soup and cob salad. The sandwiches are heavy and big portions. I've noticed the salads have gotten a little smaller but they are still massive. Worth the $ for sure! Fresh made ranch is a great touch! I have little ones so I feel like a pain asking for forks and plates and Napkins and everything else but they were so kind about it. Last time here was 4 months ago (I just moved to the area) and they have remodeled. It's nice and cozy. Super super friendly staff! All homemade food with great portion sizes. Very tasty!! You can tell that everyone working here has pride in there place ! You walk in and order and seat yourself. Make sure to order the root Beer! Locally made! So good !

    Let me just start by saying WOW!! First of all, if you have ever heard of a Diamond in the rough…read moreor a hidden gem, that's one way to describe Midtown Deli. Even using GPS and the guy driving knowing the area it is, we almost missed it. Even turning into the parking lot I didn't see it until we were in the drive through. I was in town briefly for work and Midtown Deli was highly recommended to me. I was told "If you can only go to one place for lunch, you HAVE to get lunch here." Needless to say, I was NOT disappointed!! Between the speed of service, friendliness of the staff, price, and quality of the food ... I would give them 6 stars out of 5 if Yelp would allow it. We waited in the drive through for ~10 minutes which wasn't bad for being the 4th car in line. They had a small area indoors it looked like you could order from, but I realized it too late and the drive through was moving faster than most of the big name fast food chains. We looked at the menu on the banner outside and were handed paper menus when we got to the window. The lady taking our order was great -- helpful, polite, and made perfect recommendations. I think of the three recommendations (one being the daily special), our group got all three ... and we all loved the different sandwiches we got. The price for three of us was about the cost of an average dinner for 1 at a restaurant. And I would possibly argue the quality of food here is better. If you blink, you are going to miss it, so keep your eyes open and make a point to stop by and grab some lunch.

    The Order: General (burger) + Loaded Brisket Fries…read more First off... Online ordering... aka ScrollFest 2026... worked great, even if it felt like filling out a mortgage application. A heroic amount of options. I'm sure some folks love that level of control, but by the end I half-expected a personality test. On a phone? Absolutely unhinged. Desktop was survivable... barely. Pickup: Online said 30 minutes (6:23pm). Reality said "Nah, we're done already" at 6:09pm. Credit where it's due... glad I went down early so the food didn't turn into sad leftovers before I even met it. Presentation: Burger and fries looked good. No shame there. Instagram wouldn't have laughed at me. The General (Burger): Unfortunately... dry. Not send-it-back dry, but definitely "thank God for pickles" dry. The pickles did some real heavy lifting, adding the only noticeable zip. BBQ sauce and ranch were apparently present in spirit only... I saw a drip, but my taste buds never got the memo. Result: A decent burger. Not bad. Not memorable. Certainly not something I'd text a friend about like "BRO YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS." Loaded Brisket Fries: Flavor? Good. Sauce? Tasty. Execution? Eh. For $12, the portion felt a little "is this the appetizer?" The fries could've been warmer and better mixed... instead it was more like scavenger hunting for bites that had everything together. The deep-fried cheese curds were legit but borderline fork-vs-curd death match. That plastic fork never stood a chance. Outsides were pretty crusty... almost too committed to the crunch. Overall Verdict: Good food. Nothing offensive. Nothing that screams "come back often." If I'm nearby and hungry... sure. If I'm choosing a place intentionally... probably not. Final Score: 3.5 stars... rounding up to 4 because I believe in grace. Solid effort. Some wins. Some misses. No fireworks. Would eat again... but only if someone else picked the place and I didn't have to scroll for 10 minutes first Ambiance: N/A. Consumed at home where the lighting was good and the floor was not sticky.

    11.21.25: First time in at this location and was immediately greeted as we came through the door…read more Restaurant was brightly lit and clean and pretty busy with a lunch crowd. I had two goals for this visit: 1) to try the impossible cheese steak (plant-based), and 2) to see if I notice the adding of more meat to all their cheese steaks as their new campaign claims. I ordered a medium impossible cheese steak with onions, mushrooms, and both hot and sweet peppers. My cheese steak came out hot and toasty and I'm happy to report there was noticeably more meat on my sandwich than in the past. Meat kept falling out as I bit into it! As for the impossible part and it being plant-based, it was actually pretty decent and flavorful. I normally don't eat plant-based meat due to the over use of sodium to flavor, but this was pretty close to an actual cheese steak. There were plenty of mushrooms, onions, and peppers and enough melty cheese to leave me walking away full and satisfied.

    The sandwiches here were really quite good but not outstanding. Place is pretty new and they're…read morekeeping it clean. We were greeted promptly and placed our order. The young lady didn't seem to have too much patience for our questions even though we were the only ones in line. I think our questions were legit but it seemed like we were inconveniencing her by asking. Our orders seemed to take longer than they shook have but they did bring it right to us. Prices were ridiculously high, especially considering they were on the Idaho side of the state line! Jersey Mike's will remain our go to.

    I don't say this lightly: this might be **the best Philly cheesesteak I've ever had in my life**…read more From the moment it came out, you could smell the sizzling steak and melted cheese before even taking the first bite. The bread was perfectly toasted on the outside but still soft and pillowy inside, holding everything together without falling apart. The steak was juicy, tender, and packed with flavor, chopped just right so every bite had the perfect balance of meat, cheese, and bread. And the cheese... perfectly melted into the steak so it coated every bite instead of just sitting on top. That first bite was one of those moments where you pause for a second because it's just *that good*. By the halfway point I was already thinking about when I could come back for another one. I love "Mom" who is always friendly and fun to talk to while waiting. Please keep in mind each sandwich is made to order so please anticipate a little wait BUT WORTH EVERY minute of it. If you're a Philly cheesesteak fan, this place is absolutely worth the trip. Bold statement, but this sandwich sets the bar.

    4.16.26: First time here and came for lunch right as they opened. My roommate is a Philly cheese…read moresteak lover and after some quick research, I found this place nearby. Of course, he went with the classic cheese steak to see what their original was like before delving into the other specialty ones they offer. I ordered the Dirty Hippie, which has no meat--double portions of both mushrooms and grilled onions, jalapenos, cheddar cheese and ranch on a fresh baked roll. For my sweet tooth, I also got a "Pop's brownie." The Dirty Hippie to me tasted pretty much like a cheese steak, but with no meat. So, they did do a good job of mimicking a real cheese steak. It was super hot, cheese was melted, and definitely noticed the double portion of veggies. The grilled onions had a good taste, however, they were really long and stringy, which reminded me of string spaghetti lol. Sandwich can get a little messy, prepare yourself with some napkins, and don't let it sit or it'll get soggy from the juices. My roommate thought his cheese steak was average, not bad but not the best he's ever had either. Pop's brownie was chocolatey and moist and a great way to end a flavorful lunch. The shack is located in a convenient spot and the lot has ample parking. Service was great. The woman helping us was friendly and even gave me a frequent buyer punch card since I told her it was my first time there. Fyi, Monday's are double punch days! I'm a cash-type of person anyway, but bring cash if you don't want to be charged $1 to use your card.
