The wife and I was super hungry and decided to check this place out as we passed by this place a few days ago and our curiosity got the better of us. Both of us enjoy a good sandwich and this place has those in spades. I ordered the DRDK (half) which comes with turkey, bacon, Swiss cheese, mayo, tomatoes, and avacado spread on toasted sourdough. The sandwich was made with love!!!! I know it! This spot looks like it's ran by all women (another thing that caught my eye and made my lunch even better) that's empowering and I love that. The taco soup was super fresh and the ingredients were super choice! Nice dining room environment overall (what's to expect from a deli downtown) over all 5/5 would definitely come back and most definitely will recommend to family and friends. These ladies are super friendly and know how to make a mean sandwich!!!! Kudos to them! read more

See all

I find the sandwiches there to be consistent but nothing special. Don't get me wrong, when you're hungry It's a nice place to stop in for a sandwich but nothing you couldn't do at home. The service is always good and the ladies that work there are very nice and I like to support our local businesses so I'll continue to stop in from time to time. read more

Good seating with great staff and tasty food makes for a good lunch or any other meals!

People were very rude and once again the portions were very small ordered. I believe a French dip or prime rib sandwich and there was hardly any meat and ordered a nacho and it was nasty. No meat and no taste when I asked about the portion serving she said that's what you get read more

Love this place. The sandwich's are made well with fresh ingredients. The buns are always fresh. The environment over all is quite nice. These ladies run a tight ship. Clean tables, not tacky crap on the walls, you can see where your sandwich is being made and by who. No annoying teenager music being played. And they got sprouts. read more

Despite my lower ratting I enjoy the sandwiches. The sandwiches can be served with somewhat too much mayonnaise even with that tasty. The sandwich are heated and bring out a interesting taste that is rather delightful. Definitely recommend a sandwich from them. Now on to the fact I have the low rating is due to the fact they are never open it seams. I feel like at 2 pm on a weekday it should be open. And I would enjoy a different brand of chip to go with the delicious sandwich. The deli is clean and the same it has been since I have been a kid 20 years ago. The service is nothing special the ladies are nice I bet if I was a regular customer I wouldn't be disappointed but ever time I try to get a sandwich it's closed. As I write this I'm craving a bearcat heated. read more

Good sandwich. On a road trip to Portland for the day. Was pleasantly surprised. Service was fast as well.

Great deli sandwiches. Recommend the bearcat with sprouts. Get it warm for extra tasty goodness. The crew are always nice and really work to get good food to you fast. read more

Awesome food. Little pricey for the region. Stellar service. Bobcat was ridiculously good and the bearcat

This sandwich shop in downtown Chehalis is a decent, if not pedestrian, lunch stop. I stopped by here for lunch on a Saturday as it is one of the few local joints open on the weekends for lunch(what is up with that). I got an italian sandwich, a "whole" one, which is actually more like two whole hoagie sandwiches. Value wise, some people might think this is a good deal but the hoagies are almost all bread, and the bread is a pretty average store bought kind. Actually most of the toppings on them, seem like they came out of bags instead of freshly sliced. Definitely had that cafeteria quality. Service was very nice and all the ladies working there were smiling and I got my food pretty quick as well. I really wanted to love this place as there isn't many options for a good sub in the area without traveling to Olympia but the search continues. read more

Love this place. Best lunch place in the area for a sandwich. Try the Bearcat (warmed up).

It had been years since I've been able to stop in for some food. The taco soup used to be divine.....meaty, hearty, and filling. There is now basically no meat in it. They should rename it bean and corn soup. For $30, I got a sandwich, plus another half, and a bowl of soup. The sandwich only had a single slice of meat and single slice of cheese. Disappointing to say the least. The older woman working the counter was brusk to say the least. They have really skimped, and the prices seem higher. Goodbye, Chehalis Deli. read more

Abosuletly the best place locally to get homemade subs, sandwiches, salads, soups ect. Love the ladies and how you are always greeted with a hello and a smile! The Bearcat sandwich is my favorite! read more

Online website shows wrong times they are open. Their website also says 48 hours notice for 1 gallon of potato salad. I tried to order 1/2 gallon potato salad and was told they needed three days. That was not mentioned at all on the website read more

Year after year this place NEVER dissapoints. You will spend more than subway lol but your food is so fresh and so yummy. The Bearcat is bomb! We also have them deliver to our staff meetings sometimes and that is an excellent option for this area. Great portions everyone is always happy with their service and quality! read more

Chehalis Deli has always been there for me! I remember going there for lunch when I lived and worked in that area. The "Bearcat" is my favorite sandwich ever and I was so delighted to have it once again. It has been a long stint without it because I was a vegetarian for 7 years. They are pretty fast in terms of service and very friendly. The meat they use there is really good quality. There is no better place to get a sandwich in that area. The only thing they could improve upon is the bread. It doesn't hold up well to oil or vinegar. I was going to post a picture of the sandwich but it had been too long since I've last eaten one and I couldn't bring myself to wait any longer. read more

Holy moly this place is delicious. Great staff and awesome menu. The prices are very fair for the amount of food you get. These aren't no tiny sandwiches either. read more

Loved this place since I was a kid, the Bearcat with sprouts is my go to! Great small town deli, enjoy.

Bearcat, Bearcat, Bearcat. Did I mention to get the Bearcat? Taco soup is really good too. A little pricy, but worth it. Only a buck or so more than say, your corner Subway, but much tastier. read more

I wrote a 2 star review a few years ago. Since then I have given it a few more tries and things are much better, back to the original quality that has be raved about for years. They might have gone through a rough patch but it was really good today! read more

This place was highly recommended by an electrician that was doing some work for me. "Good service and sandwiches that are almost too large to eat". I arrived around 11:15 am, the place was already busy. I waited in line to place my order; the young lady at the counter was helpful, friendly and it didn't take long for me to see that she was pulling double duty. My order wasn't complicated, a simple off the menu bowl of taco soup, and a veggie sandwich. Soup was brought out to me immediately (by the same young lady who was taking orders and managing the register), the sandwich "would be right out". Twenty minutes later the sandwich arrived. It was nothing special and definitely not worth the wait or expense. I expected a good taco soup but it was watery, lacking seasoning and substance...The sandwich made me wish I had stopped at the local Subway (and I'm not a fan of Subway). This place is called a deli but there is nothing about it that qualifies it as a deli. The only reason I'm giving the place 2 stars is because of the young lady working her butt off. The rest of the staff could learn a few things from her. read more

I really wanted to like this place. It had a great vibe & everyone that worked there was SO nice. There were 4 of us there for lunch & we each got 4 diff sandwiches...all of which were just meh. If I lived in the area I'd give it another go, however if I'm just passing through, I wouldn't stop again. read more

Great sandwiches. Had a BLT. Their specialty is their Potato salad! Best ever! We go here for lunch whenever we're in the area. What it may lack in fancy decor it more than makes up with what counts -- the great food. read more

Ever since I was a kid I have gone into this place and never once had an issue. Good food, good people, all around a solid place to stop and grab something to eat. Every time I am in town I stop! read more

The Bearcat sandwich has NEVER disappointed Though the corn chowder too salty This has been a great place for many years read more

I really wanted to love this place. We recently moved to Washington and have been slowly finding our way around. I really wanted a deli we could love. (We really like Berryfields in Centralia, but I wanted somewhere I could run in and order and take it with me easily.) The lady was friendly enough. She suggested a favorite. My son wanted a hot pretzel. I guess when I hear deli, I think fresh breads. Not the case. When I think hot sandwich, I think toasted. It was microwaved. The meat was good, veggies seemed fresh. It was just underwhelming, and the price was definitely deli price. Spent $18 on two half subs and a hot pretzel. Not completely terrible.... just not really deli standard. I probably wouldn't go back. read more

We have lived this place for years !!! However lately I think they changed some ingredients because about 20 minutes after we leave...I need a bathroom. Sad..... read more

The sandwiches are delicious, which is the only reason I go here. The younger gal that works here is great, but the mid ages ladies ( One is the owner, maybe?) have some of the worst customer service I have ever had, especially for a local small town restaurant. read more

This place does brisk lunch business. At first, I was a little put off by the bread they use but the sandwhich was good. I greatly prefer the Bearcat and Bobcat. read more

Sometimes I just get a craving for overpriced food I can make at home. This isn't the first Saturday I've been there 20+ minutes before the posted hours say they'd be closed just to find out they've already closed. It's hard to support local business when it seems like they dont want the support anyway. I'll just stop coming. Or trying to come since you can't stay open for 4 hours out of the day anyway. read more

I really like their sandwiches but they are too big for me to eat at one sitting. I haven't tried their soup yet but it always looks so delicious. Everyone that works there is so polite and there's a lot of younger people who go here, but they are all very polite too. read more

Best lunch stop in Chehalis! They give our little kiddo this awesome little plate of cut up cheese and ham. They have a cute name for it too, "The Shreds" or something like that. Such a great small town vibe. read more

Love their sandwiches and service! Get Shon's club. It's delicious. My hubby lives the bearcat and everything else.

I love to eat at the Chehalis Deli, at my previous job we always ordered lunch from here. They deliver in a timely manner, the food was always fresh, and delicious. I'm grateful to live nearby! read more

Overpriced and staff is very rude. They flat out lied to us about having to go cups. We will NEVER be eating there again.

We are not from the Chehalis area but we had a family reunion that was being held there and I was responsible for a simple lunch being catered. Such a huge responsibility!! You know how people are when they don't have a decent meal and are stuck in a room together the full day! As it turned out lunch (which they delivered to the hotel for a small charge) was wonderful. We ordered sandwiches (which came with chips, cookies and a drink) and salads. The sandwiches were super fresh and tasty. The salads were so yummy too...large, fresh and gorgeous looking! One of our family members was having a birthday so we also ordered cupcakes and they turned out great as well. Each person I spoke with at the Deli was super nice and the customer service was absolutely spot on! Thanks Chehalis Deli for helping make our reunion lunch an enjoyable one! read more

The taco soup is AMAZING and the best around. They have delicious sandwiches to accompany; the bearcat being one of my top favorites. A little pricey, but worth it. Fast and friendly service, with great food. read more

Good solid food, potato salad is out of this world so are the soups, try the Taco. Wish the bread on the Bearcat was better.

Friendly, great service, and super tasty food. The Bearcat is the best but you can't go wrong with any of the salads or sandwiches.
