Food: it's good! Turkey is excellent Service: the cost is too much for certain people on a budget Ambiance: very chill Plz lower the cost of your sandwiches read more

Deli sandwiches on fresh, house made breads? Just amazing! My favorite this year, as I have ordered it four times in the last two weeks: tuna on whole wheat, with all the toppings (except onions) and with pepperocini added. If you love sandwiches, and they have many to choose from, get to the mall and get a great sandwich!! read more

How could you not stop by with the delicious smell of bread! We tried a bowl of their soup and their chicken salad sandwich. It was a really good sandwich and their chicken bread was delicious! However, the portions were crazy small for the price point(even on the island) I would even pay a bit more for a fully filled sandwich (see photo). read more

Sandwiches now are way smaller than what it was years ago growing up here. The service is still good. I recommend calling your order ahead of time to avoid the long wait times during peak hours. There's a lot of open seating both inside and outside the shop. read more

Had the French Dip sans horseradish. The bread was good, and there was a decent amount of meat. The au jus was steaming hot and I liked the fact it wasn't horrendously salty the way most are. One person had the TOPSS sandwich. It was very fresh but taste-wise she found it average. As many others have mentioned, don't come here if you're in a hurry. They gave us buzzers to notify us when our order was ready but yelled out the names of others. One person in my party went back and got a cup of soup - and still had to wait. No one was in line behind her; why not ladle out the soup right then and there, and give her the piece of bread? (I think it's because they heat the bread a bit.) The counter, inexplicably, is really high. There's a plank step to stand on. Being short, I could barely see the credit card machine. Having a mobility disability meant it wasn't safe/feasible for me to step up on that plank. read more

Deli & Bread Connection - Lobster Roll - Bakeries Near Me - Lihue, Hawaii

Bead & Deli is one of those places you'll want to come back to again and again. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is genuinely friendly, and everything feels fresh and thoughtfully prepared. The lobster roll is hands down the star of the menu. The lobster is incredibly fresh, tender, and generously portioned without being overpowered by mayo or unnecessary fillers. Every bite lets the quality of the seafood shine, and it's served on a perfectly toasted, buttery roll that adds just the right amount of crunch and flavor. It's easily one of the best lobster rolls I've had. If you're anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and order the lobster roll--you won't be disappointed. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu, but the lobster roll will always be hard to pass up! The only downfall is that it did take a really long time. read more

The deli has always been a favorite of mine while living there. Nowadays, I try to get there as often as possible. We went in on a Friday and it wasn't busy at all which I found odd. We ordered our food and sat down at one of the tables inside. There was more seating outside if you'd like fresh air. I ordered the Club and my husband got the Topps (because I ordered him the wrong sandwich) and we shared a clam chowder. We both enjoyed our sandwich and the soup was delicious. Only bad thing I'll say is that the bread that came with soup was old and not fresh. Other than that, we still love this place and can't wait to go back! read more

I ordered a classic club and waited for 20 minutes for one sandwich. When I asked how much longer she said 5 minutes. After 5 more minutes and many many other people coming in and ordering after us, getting served and leaving, I just decided I would rather get a refund and go elsewhere. She decided to tell me average wait time is 20 minutes and if I'm not patient enough to wait for it then to just never order here again. This was the most unpleasant and unfriendly interaction I have ever had at a place where your paying them. read more

Unbelievably slow service. More than 40 minutes for a BLT. It was always slow, but it's so much worse these days. We are not coming back. read more

This place was pretty bad... customer service was so horrendous here and the food wasn't even that good. When we walked in there was only two people there. We then ordered a pastrami sandwich and a French dip sandwich. Then there were three other locals or islanders that ordered after us and two of the groups ordered sandwich's as well. It then took 45 minutes to get our food. All the locals were served before us and all ordered after us. We also asked 30 minutes in to see where our food was at for the past 30 minutes because we only wanted to stop in there for a couple minutes and they said they where waiting on the pastrami sandwich which took 15 minutes to make. It should not take 45 minutes to make two sandwiches. The last time we were here it also took 45 minutes for a couple of sandwiches two years ago. During this I overheard the lady that served us talking to another customer on the phone and she asked if they were an Islander. Also the food wasn't that good as well the French dip didn't have a lot of meat but it was ok. The pastrami sandwich however was pretty bad; the bread was stale and there wasn't that much meat. After this we literally went to Costco because the pastrami sandwich wasn't very good and got food there for 6 times cheaper and it was better than the sandwich's that we got. Overall I would not recommend eating here due to the lack of customer service and the food. We used to come all the time 15 years ago and the place has degraded over time. read more

While recently visiting on the island of Kauai, my son took me out to lunch. We chose to dine at deli and bread. I ordered the."CRIMP" sandwich on sourdough bread. I called in the order ahead of time and it was ready and waiting when we got there. There was an area for indoor dining as well as outdoor dining which was well organized and clean. My sandwich was very delicious! I would give this place a five star, but the price was quite high for a sandwich read more

This used to be a great place with delicious sandwiches. Haven't been there in a couple of years. Ordered a hot corned beef sandwich with no cheese, I have a dairy allergy. Sandwich came cold with cheese. Asked for mayo, got a dry sandwich with no spread. Also asked for all the veggies (lettuce, tomato, onion, pickes, etc). Got a sandwich with only tomato. Huge fail here! Won't go back. read more

My ham sandwich came on very fresh french roll. I would have preferred a little more mayo, but it was still good. My beef is that I noticed that I was charged $2.50 for potato salad vs the $2.25 listed on their wall-sized menu board. I mentioned it when I picked up my sandwich and the clerk looked at the board and just shrugged her shoulders. It's only a quarter but I was hoping for a more positive response than a shrug of the shoulders read more

Pretttty good veggie burger. Red pesto was amazing. Cute little spot. Service took 25 mins however. Other avocado veggie sandwich was just alright. read more

The food was good. Ordered the tuna melt and the staff told me it would take 20 minutes. The sandwich was delicious. The staff let's you select what you want on the sandwich such as cheese, lettuce, tomato etc. the chef salad is good but the hard boiled eggs were over cooked. The staff is all busy and not that friendly. They are straight to the point. Will I go back? I think I'll try another place. read more

I arrived at Deli Connection a half hour before closing on a Thursday night I ordered a ruben sandwich with sauce on the side. There was no one eating in the restaurant. I waited 25 minutes for my $16 sandwich. When my sandwich was finally ready I was so disappointed. There was more sauerkraut than corned beef on my sandwich I asked for sauce on the side and they put mustard on my sandwich I will not be returning. read more

Loved their sandwiches! A little pricey but very good. Great service. Nice and clean.

Love the Lobster Roll. The fresh bread is awesome. Wish there was a way to order online. Many times the phone is busy to place a To Go order. read more

We always stop here whenever we're visiting the island. Love the sandwiches and the chowder bread bowls. They can get pretty busy sometimes, but worth it! read more

Deli and Bread was THE spot growing up on Kauai. There's nothing like getting a bowl of clam chowder on a rainy day or even just their LOBSTER ROLL! Now the thing is, I've been going here long enough to watch their lobster roll go from $8 to now $15! Inflation is real... Anyways, deli and bread is a cute little spot that gives you a diner/deli meat place feel and you can sit inside or outside or even take it to go. The workers tend to be high school students or there's the same blonde lady there since I was a high schooler myself still working there so it's nice to see familiar faces keeping the show going! You can order different sandwiches, cold or warm, but for me I've only tried their lobster rolls or grilled cheeses and their CLAM CHOWDER! Moving from Kauai to Oahu, I have yet to find a clam chowder spot that isn't Safeway... Now the thing with their lobster roll is that it's not your bun + lobster pieces + sauce + shredded cabbage kind of roll. I grew up thinking a lobster roll would have imitation crab, cheese, and a bunch of other melted warmy goodness inside. Because on Kauai..that's what THE lobster roll is! And honestly it's a warm melted crunchy breaded goodness to definitely try. I have yet to try anywhere else that's ever done a lobster roll like it. It's a staple oh growing up in Kauai and while it pains me to see it is quite pricier now, I'm still gonna go get it. read more

SO GOOD!! I got the islander with avocado and it was so yummy. Food took a while to come out, but that just means they were making it with love! Liked the vibes read more

Amazing sandwiches and amazing bread. Must come here. We loved the lobster roll and the tunacado. Also loved the clam chowder in the sourdough bowl - definitely the best sourdough I have ever had. There was both indoor and outdoor seating. We strolled in with only two people ahead of us in line, so not much of a wait, which was great. It was late afternoon on a weekday, if I am recalling correctly, though all the days start blurring together when you're on vacation. Anyway, highly recommend! read more

Poor service. Ordered to go for 10 people, spent $150 at this local establishment and watched for 40 minutes while multiple people walked in and ordered and left with their food after we had already ordered. Overall, not great for groups... read more

Food is good enough, nothing to write home about. But beware, if there are more than 4 people in line, be ready to wait for your food for about 45 min. Also, ordered the Braunschweiger on baguette, with pickle and red onion. Received the sub with soft French bread, cucumbers and no onions... read more

Don't call in your order, they don't make it until you arrive and you have to wait just like everyone else. Company lunch meeting and the food was more late than if I would have just walked in. Not the most friendly or warm staff either. read more

It was okay. The service was fine. The food was nothing special. Very mediocre. Food was pricey for what you get.

Food - excellent Service- fyi - took 25 min to get our sandwich but they are looking for help. Worth the wait Ambiance- AC works well. Cozy tables. Nice lighting. Food was good but had better lobster roll on Oahu :) Desserts were excellent - tried the strawberry cheesecake and the mud slide brownie. Sweet bread was average. read more

Food was awesome but costumer service was awful. I could tell some of the workers genuinely loved being there but the girl I had checking me out was SO RUDE! It was our first time and we were so excited to try it but she killed the mood immediately then sat on her phone the whole time we dinned in. read more

We always order ahead as they are busy most times! They have the best sandwiches on the island! If you have time and get lucky to get a table, the atmosphere is always warm. read more

If you are not dining in, make sure to call in your order ahead of time to avoid long wait times! Wait times are about 15-20 minutes because they are that good and that busy. My go to order is a turkey sandwhich in sourdough, American cheese, all veggies and mayo/mustard. Sandwiches are stacked perfectly. Never too much or too little of anything. This trip I called in a takeout order to bring to the beach. But when I fly in for work, I usually do a takeout order and bring home with me to Oahu. My mom also likes to buy their loaves of bread to make her own sandwich at home. read more

I opted to get a sandwich rather than a plate lunch to take back to the hotel to eat later in the evening. Based upon the reviews I got the club but did not have them toast the bread since I wasn't going to eat it till later. I usually don't care for club sandwiches but really liked this one since they added a special sauce and pickles and onions. I also liked that it wasn't a triple decker with too much bread. Even though by the time I ate the sandwich the bread crust was a little dry it was still really good and the filling did not get soggy. The sauce really made the sandwich. read more
