This East Bay Deli is located conveniently near hotels and shopping. I ordered a 1/2 chef salad and…read moreit was perfect. I like the simplicity of East Bay, but I also like the expansive menu. The restaurant is clean and has good lighting. It is a place that you order at the counter and they bring your food to you. The person who waited on me was kind and it took less than five minutes for my food to be delivered to my table. EBD is one of my fave places to go for lunch because there are so many different choices.

Best eastern style deli I've been to in years. I love sandwiches. I grew up on the East Coast with…read moresubmarines and grinders. I've had good deli, none of which I've been able to find in the Kansas City area since Dean and Deluca closed. There's hardly anything that isn't better between two slices of bread. Anyway I had the best Reuben sandwich I've had in 20 years. The meat was warm, not cold (a common mistake), the cheese was actually melted, and the sandwich was grilled not served on toast or warm bread. It was delightful.

What a great locally owned hot deli. They have a pretty expansive menu. It's in West Columbia, not…read moretoo far from Zestos and The Healing Bar. There's plenty of parking. They have some outside seating set up for a beautiful day. There are also places to sit and dine inside.   I did a pickup order via phone, but I believe you can order online as well. It was two staff, someone cooking and someone in front. Everyone was pleasant. The prices are good too.   Okay, let's get to the food. Pictured is the BLT and the fried chicken sandwich with bacon. I did not try the BLT. The fried chicken sandwich was pretty good. It was heavy, but I enjoyed it! The flavor wasn't too strong, yet it blended well with the bacon. The cheese sticks were okay. The fries were fresh and delicious. Every thing was made to order. The portions are great. It's worth a try, and I will be back to try more.

I saw a triple cheeseburger from this place on Facebook and convinced my two friends to go that…read moresame day. None of us got the triple cheeseburger though. All singles for us with fries. Still a big burger. The cheeseburger was very tasty and wonderfully priced considering it being 2014. The fries were great, too. It's a small place. You order at the counter and then can sit down at one of two booths indoors. (It may have been three booths.) It gives meaning to the term "hole in the wall." We decided we'd get ours t go next time and go to the nearby riverwalk to eat at a bench. No fountain drinks, since it's a deli. You get a can drink out of the cooler. We each got two cans though and drank them with the meal. I hope this place sticks around. I believe it opened in November 2024. And hopefully the owners can move to a more user-friendly location.

I was not too impressed with my trip to DiPratos, which was disappointing because it had been…read morerecommended to me by several different people, and I was excited to try it out. I came in a few minutes after 10:00 a.m., the time they open, and while I don't expect a restaurant to be in tip-top shape the second they open, they did not seem at all ready for the day or to accept customers. I stood at the front for a few awkward moments before asking one of the hostesses if I was supposed to seat myself, when she replied "oh no, I'll seat you", and then led me to one of the nearby tables. Somewhat grossly, the tablecloth on the table I was seated at was covered with coffee stains from previous guests, which was kind of unsettling. I then asked for a cup of coffee, and was told that there wasn't any ready, and that I would need to wait a few minutes. Again, not a huge deal, but I would expect a breakfast restaurant to have some coffee ready by the time that they open. Second, when perusing the menu, I was not particularly impressed by their "limited breakfast" options, nor anything on their regular menu. I decided to go with a simple hot dog, and substituted the offered sides with an order of French fries, which ridiculously cost me almost $4 extra. In addition, my hot dog was fine, but nothing exceptional, and definitely not better than one I could've gotten at Costco for a markedly cheaper price. The one (1) bright spot was that the fries were very good, and of higher quality than most other fries I've gotten at similar restaurants. Finally, my server was nice enough, but a little rough around the edges and not overly attentive. In addition, the ambiance was pretty basic, with nothing about it that really stuck out. All-in-all, I wouldn't be adverse to returning to DiPratos on a Saturday or Sunday to try their breakfast menu, but I won't be coming back during the week, and wouldn't really recommend that anybody else do so either.

We were fortunate to get two tables together in the hallway. I can see where it can get crowded over lunch time as the line continually was growing with people getting their food and taking a seat in the hallway. They have quite a few of tables with four chairs/table. Most of us ordered the Italian Subs with chips or potato salad as a side. Service was great. Speed was fantastic. I think all seven of us had our food brought out to us within about 7 minutes or so. Several of us thought that the Subs weren't heated as much as they could be. One complaint was that his pickle was limp. The top of the bun was warm but the cheese and meats on the inside were not warm at all (or the bottom of the bun). The potato salad was very good. They have soft drinks via the machine with ice and also Tea. The ingredients were fresh and everything good. I think seating could be a problem on some days and we wished the sandwiches were toasted more than what they were.
