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

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

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

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

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

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

Looking for a sandwich place to get food for the airport wait, and we are so glad we found this place. The bread is fresh, the ingredients are plentiful and tasty. You may wait longer when it's busy, but it's worth it. Price is commensurate with the value you are getting. The folks there are friendly and professional. Hit up this sandwich shop when you are in Lihue! read more

Sandwiches are so delicious. Perfect for a beach day. I always get the Carolina. But in cozy weather days the lobster roll with clam chowder is so good. Their bread is made fresh. 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

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

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

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

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

Love their food but the lines!! Wish they would set up online orders. Fav: lobster roll on whole wheat add avo & green peppers with potato salad & chips. 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

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

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

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

Deli and bread is the best sandwich place in the world and it's not even close! The lobster roll is to die for! I highly recommend stopping here if you're visiting Kauai. read more

Food was great (Classic Club) Tried calling to order takeout could not get through (Busy lunch hour not taking calls) Ordered in person waited about twenty minutes 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

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

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

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

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

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 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

Over 45 minute wait for a cold deli sandwich. No thank you. Rude staff, excuses don't make sense for the terrible wait time.

Did a big group order for aloha Friday and everyone loved their sandwiches. There was a few comments about the megladon sandwiches needing a bit more cheese but other than that they were very tasty and really delicious. The person who took my order over the phone was really kind and friendly. The person at the register was also friendly. We are definitely planning another group order again soon. Thank you to the staff who fulfilled our huge order and for getting it ready before pick up time. We appreciate each and every one of you! read more

Favorite place for a sandwich on Kauai. Came here randomly on vacation years ago and now i make sure I come here on vacation. The Carolina and the Island Sub were my favorites, but a local told me to get the Lobster Roll. Game over. So good! If your'e in Lihue and want a sandwich, dont go to Subway, come here and get a real sandwich! So good! read more

Incredibly fresh and tasty bread. One of the best sandwiches on the island. Lots of traffic, mostly from locals, so you know it's a good meal and a good deal. read more

Really bad. They did say "would you mind waiting 15 minutes?" Sure if it was actually 15 minutes, It was 45! Maybe too many variables on the menu, which appeared fantastic ,,,which is a good thing BUT not at the expense of a what most want a grab and go sandwich shop. At some point bad service unfortunately just turns against a business , no matter how delicious the food might be. They really need to either get More help or fix the service issue. read more

For a business to have a number to call for orders. They don't even answer the phone. I don't care how busy you are. But if I'm trying to call for half an hour.... at least pick up and say your busy or ask if I can hold for a bit. The fact that they ignore customers trying to place an order is very disappointing. 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
