My brown bag wasn't enough to sustain me for the rest of the day. So I tried Diane Deli's Turkey Sandwich today, and it is delicious!

Jeanilee S.

Spotted this place on my way to the dealership and wanted to try it out. They have an interesting menu containing both American and Asian food. I ended up trying the Philly cheesesteak and fries. The cheesesteak was good but the fries were a little bit undercooked.

I've been coming here since I was a sales manager at riverside kia. Ordering daily! Since I moved out to LA I haven't ate here in many years. On my way out to San Bernardino I had to make a special stop to one of my fav delis Food is always amazingly fresh. My fav is the house special sandwich add bacon. Their breakfast portions are huge!! Bacon sausage with 2 eggs over easy. Toasted bread. Always a hit!!! You can't go wrong here. Always a pleasure. So happy I stopped!!! If you ever want yummy breakfast or lunch. Stop by Dianes! You won't be disappointed

I work within walking distance of this location and I'm so grateful for! There are not many other food places around so the fact that this one is so close and so good is awesome. I haven't tried everything on the menu but I have definitely tried a wide range of things from the sushi rolls to the fried rice to the Philly cheesesteak sandwich. My two favorite thing from there would be their breakfast sandwich which causes on a bagel or croissant bun and the potstickers with your always made fresh. It's also really nice because you can call ahead and order and if you're close enough they will even deliver your food to you. Staff is always very nice and sometimes it can get busy but always so get your stuff to you within a reasonable amount of time

Tried this little gem for the first time today because everyone at work kept talking about it and yes I can taste why now lol. It was pretty delish!! I ordered the shrimp fried rice and I absolutely love fried rice that are not made with soy sauce!! I just think it's too salty when there's ss in it. Well anyways their fried rice had so much flavor (no msg) and it smelled so good. Heard the Korean plate and chicken salad on squaw are good too. Will have to try that next time. Definitely a new go to lunch place! Oh btw they do take a bit cus everything is made to order so call in the order is highly advised, especially during lunch rush. read more

Not a bad lil place. It's close to my office. Jeanie is very sweet! She knows me by name and always knows what I want to order. Prices are not bad and neither are their sandwiches. I love their coffee and their house special sandwich. She also makes some killer smoothies. The fries are great too. I love the spicy turkey wrap as well. Seating is tight so I usually get it to go. They have a wide variety of drinks in a giant self serve refrigerator. This place also delivers locally and fast! I also love their breakfast. My favorite is the egg white veggie omelet. Every once in a while I treat myself to their delicious French toast. They also serve some killer breakfast burritos. I like to get the sourdough with my breakfast. There is a good chance I'm addicted to their food. Thanks a lot Jeanie for the excellent customer service! read more

Had a couple of things here that were pretty good and well priced. Had the California roll and miso soup combo first time, iced coffee on the side. Cali roll was a good portion and tasted good, miso soup was just salty enough. Very good. Had the egg, cheese, potato, salsa breakfast burrito today. Eggs were nice and fluffy, potatoes were tasty and didn't take up most of the burrito. Not too much cheese and salsa, but it was still good for $4. Good little place near my school, prices aren't bad. Need to go there more. read more

The bread is so soft you try to have leftovers, but it's impossible. I order a roast beef or pastrami sandwich from time to time. The roast beef is soft. I forgot to ask for mayonnaise and mustard, but the sandwich was soft flavorful it didn't need it. The shop is typical deli with some seating inside and some outside. The service is no frills and straight to the point but your order comes out fast . You can even call it in and the order will come out just as good.

While looking over the menu, my wife became a bit…read morediscouraged when she noticed that any substitutions or added items came with a pretty significant upcharge. Because of that, she decided to just order a standard meal and plan to take it home. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad and requested a little extra dressing on the side. When the food arrived, it was actually very good--the salad was tasty and they were plenty generous with the chicken. However, the issue came when we got the bill. I noticed a $2.25 charge just for the extra side of dressing. My complaint isn't necessarily that there *is* a charge, but rather that it wasn't stated beforehand. There was no mention of it when ordering, and in my opinion, $2.25 for a simple side of Caesar dressing is excessive. We finished our meal and left, but between the heavy substitution fees and the surprise dressing charge, the customer service policy here feels a bit nickle-and-dime. Good food, but transparency on their pricing could definitely be improved.

I got the HOT ITALIAN BEEF (thinly sliced roast beef on a soft roll, sauteed red and green bell peppers, and melted provolone) with au jus dip. I'm not sure Cardelli's is better the chain sub places like Jersey Mike's and definitely not worth the twenty miniute drive from downtown. I'm supposed to be in Riverside again in March. guess where I'm NOT going to lunch.

Right when we walked in the door, we were hit with the smell of freshly baking bread. We ordered a variety of items from a chicken salad salad, a tuna salad salad, a tuna salad wrap with avocado, a toasted grilled cheese and a turkey avocado sandwich on a croissant. The stars of the show may have been the potato salad and the pasta salad. All and all everything tasted fresh and delicious. My 4-year-old picky eater requested we go back the next day and that's how I knew it was top notch. As if this place couldn't get any better, we had impeccable service from the husband and wife owners each day.
