I'm from New York, and I've never had a bad sandwich here....evah! Love the Meatball, the Pastrami, The Italian - even a simple Roast beef. I think Franks is one of the best Deli's in the area....bar none! read more

FIRST OFF! When asking how do you make your Meatball Sandwich there is 1 correct answer! These guys NAILED IT! I know some of you are uneducated about the quality of a meatball sandwich & that's ok, I'm not judging so do not be offended. To begin... This is a neighborhood place just like back east , nestled in a neighborhood on the corner hidden from the strip mall garbage. When you come here, and you better, do not be distracted by the path to tasty food. It is in an older neighborhood with minimal parking but fantastic personalities, service & FOOD! Upon entry it's a time warp for us who grew up in a time that was better. This is a good Olde Fashion deli that sells great food with amazing service. Franks is a family place. Back to the real topic... Meatball Sandwich; when you ask what is the cheese that use & the owner is educated on quality be states "Provolone on the bottom, Mozzarella on top" just know you're in the right place! The flavor is top notch, added some cherry peppers to spice it up just right, bell peppers & onions are standard. Took it to go, drove about 20 minutes to where I needed to be, the aroma was teasing me, the concern of the sandwich being cold or soggy rang in my mind while driving the 17 to the 10.. I was nervous, anxious & salivating.... Opening the togo container to see the glorious sandwich! The meatballs are still hot, the sauce is holding place & the bread is still bread, not some soggy remnant of dough! Thank you for the pride, quality & tasty sandwich. read more

My friend and I live in the Surprise area and are hooked on Frank's Deli. We make sure to head to Frank's once a month. In my previous visits we have had the Meatball, Sausage, and Ruben sandwiches. I was hoping to try the Steak sandwich and was fortunate to get one today. Last time we went to Frank's they didn't have it on the menu that day. It comes with cheese ( I chose Provolone ) , lettuce, tomato, and mustard instead of mayo. The steak is Pork Butt ( a shoulder cut) . I loved it. It was sooo moist, tender, and flavorful. Another sandwich for my repertoire . My friend had a Meatball sandwich. You can't go wrong with that choice. Needless to say he loved his sandwich too. Today we got lucky to get a table to have our lunch. You have to come early for lunch . It gets crowded around 11:30 . read more

I was introduced to this deli by a friend. I went in for a quick bite. I was pleased to see that they had pastrami. I ordered a pastrami with provolone. It was delicious! The bread was so fresh, it was delicious. The service was spectacular. There is a nice size dining area too. I have a special place in my heart for family owned businesses. It is beautiful to see family working together. I will definitely be back for lunch soon. read more

Just had to show some love to this spot because WOW. If sandwiches were a sport, this place would have a championship banner hanging up. Stopped by Frank's New York Style Deli on St. Patrick's Day for a corned beef and a Reuben, and let me tell you... these sandwiches didn't come to play. They came to win. Everything is made fresh, the cheese is perfectly melty, and the meat is so tender it practically melts the moment you look at it. You can taste the love in every bite. And the best part? It's truly family-owned. Mom is still back there making the sandwiches like the sandwich queen she is, while the son runs the front like a pro. The customer service is top-tier--warm, welcoming, and full of genuine love. Honestly, if you leave here hungry, that's a personal problem. If you leave without smiling, also a personal problem. 10/10 would absolutely come back to let this Reuben change my life again. read more

The Ruben was really good here. They did not spare the meat, or sourkrout. The sauce was yummy too! I loved the old school deli ambience, the service was quick and efficient, there were tables to sit at, but we took it to go.

Run by a wonderful family this should be a business model for young people to learn how to be successful and earn respect in the food service industry in spite of woke ideology and AI overtaking everything.

We got the pastrami sandwich, an Italian sandwich and a turkey as well. All of them were super good! Fresh bread 12" long, so it was good for two meals! The pickle was also so good. The deli is a family run establishment, which I love. The boys were running the orders to the Mom whom was making sandwiches like a machine! There was a great sense of community as I heard them chat with all the regulars. The son showed me all the photos of them growing g up in the deli. The ambiance of the deli was straight out of a movie. A life well lived in a community hub of breaking bread and discussing small blessing of a day. It warmed my heart to enjoy a good sandwich is a place with heart. read more

Voted in Yelp's Best Sandwiches in every state and I can definitely see why! Great prices, amazing portion sizes, and hands down the best tuna sub I've EVER had. A crime this is 41 miles from my house! The parking is a little limited, but I was able to get a spot at 5pm on a Wednesday (hour before closing). When I entered, I was immediately greeted and surprised it was both a convenient store and a deli. Not what I was expecting, but loved as I could get a can of Cherry Coke to go with my meal (my fav)! Both the person who took my order and the person who made my sub were very friendly. They even threw in a cannoli which was DELICIOUS! Though the location is small, it was quaint and I could see either dining in at one of the tables or taking to go like I did this visit. I'll definitely be back as it's been five days since and I'm still drooling over that sub sandwich! read more

My wife and I split an Italian sub which was by far one of the best I've ever enjoyed. Filled with deli meat, lettuce , tomato and an Italian style dressing to top it off. When you go, be sure and get a piece of their cheesecake. Perfect dessert for an excellent sub sandwich. Can't wait to go back and try the meatball sub! read more

Was blessed with this for lunch by our team lead after volunteering. It's been on my list for a hot minute but time just never has me in the area Was able to help go pick up all the stuff and really get the full experience of this literal corner deli slinging out some of the best sandwiches this side of the Atlantic (so anywhere) I believe I had a section for the Tony sub and that capicola on there had a good spice to it along with the pepperoni and salami to really take the entire sandwich to the next level. Plus that hella sour pickle balanced it all out if you enjoy a good sour punch. Owners are amazing the space is amazing as you can also buy a crispy boy and enjoy it there if you so desire. Don't do what I did for so long make time to be here you will be glad you did read more

Great sandwiches, service and atmosphere. Very . . . very . . . casual and laid back. This was our first visit. I'd say their to-go business is as much if not more than dine-in. Parking as well as seating is limited, but worth trying to figure it out and make it work. In additional to the sandwich, potato salad and carrot cake were very good. read more

This place is legit. I got The Tony and it was piled high full of meat. The dressing and other condiments on the sandwich were a nice addition. They even threw in a free pickle on the side. I'd def go back. read more

Found this place in the middle of the day decided to pop in and I'm glad I did. Inside is a great classic deli feel. I went with the tony which was phenomenal. They're not shy what their portions and the sandwich itself was loaded up pretty well. The staff is extremely friendly and overall great people. Spoke to Gus, who is the owner's son and has worked there for 40 years which is really cool read more

Frank's New York Style Deli - Half Reuben - Delis Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Best deli in AZ, hands down. Discovered this place last year and go about once a month.

A true treasure. First time to this little hole in the wall eatery was amazing. We returned a couple of weeks later (This week). When we stepped up to the counter to place our order, I asked my wife what it was that I had ordered the first time. Before she could answer, the owner (Son) told me it was the Reuben. He was exactly right. Color me impressed. I always try something different when we return to a restaurant. I went with the Turkey Club this time. Outstanding. As always, the portions are enough that I take the second half of the sandwich home. The price point is spot on. The sandwiches are made to order. Nothing premade and waiting around for someone to buy them. Franks is now on our list of FAVES. Parking can be a bit of a challenge but the neighborhood seems not to mind if you park in front of their homes on the street. read more

Frank's New York Style Deli - Parking at Franks Deli - Delis Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Talk about an amazing sandwich shop. We were not disappointed by this place. Parking can be a challenge, but we got up front. The staff are several generations working this place and they know what they are doing. The guys were so kind and I could see how the regulars that come in know what they want and love coming there. We were able to find a table to eat and it was nice to grab a pack of chips and soda from all the choices there. They prefer cash but will take a card. I would have no problem with taking a service fee to use my card with how good this food is. It's been around awhile but it's no nonsense and the food makes this place amazing! read more

Wow! The pickle alone got my attention. Never had anything close to it. This place seems to be in the middle if nowhere, but it's quite a standout. First let me tell you, parking is limited. Once you do park and come inside you feel like you've stepped back in time a few years to a Mom & Pop deli/convenience store. The folks working here are the friendliest people. And soon learn it's truly a Mom and Pop shop with Mom and son behind the counter, taking orders and making everyone's meal. We order The Tony and NY Style, shop the coolers for something to drink, bring it back to the register when they tell us our sandwich is ready, and pay. Slide into one of the booths and commence to eating. Well we made a small dent. The sandwiches, not necessarily huge, but filled with so much meat I knew it would be impossible for me to eat in one setting. My friend went back to the counter to ask for more of their Italian dressing. That stuff certainly kicks it up a few notches. Loved that we settled in coming here and I've bookmarked the business so we can visit again if we're in the area. And the Pickles. Whew! They are unique. read more

1st visit was Thursday, pleasant staff great food. I got the roast beef/ corned beef combo. So good will be back.

I have been to Franks 2x so far. This is a family owned and operated place. We have had the Italian sub and the meatball. Both times Frank's wife made the sandwiches. Her son rang me up. They make sandwiches that taste the way they are supposed to. Right meats, seasoning, sub roll, the whole thing. I'm just sorry it took me so long to figure it out. I really like their potato salad. (Like my mom's) and my wife loved their cannoli(s) dining area was clean and they had lots of customers! They have a large selection of chips and drinks as well. Phoenix Fire showed up for lunch while I was there and they usually know the best spots in their service areas! Try this place out, it's not some corporate place owned by venture capitalist, they are our people. read more

Definitely a Deli! Not just in name. Service, energy, ambiance, all reminds you of a neighborhood sandwich stop. By the way, it's in a neighborhood! Had them make a corned beef special and Hey, was it special! These are "blue collar" portions meaning if you're there for lunch you are good until dinner at 7 . Service is normal pace, not fast or slow. Constantly busy with to-go's, sit-ins, walkers. But you don't feel ignored. It's a monthly stop for me now. read more

I was in Phoenix for a corporate meeting, and one of my coworkers recommended Frank's Deli for lunch -- definitely a solid call. We ordered a bunch of different sandwiches for the group, and everyone was really happy with their choices. I went with The Tony (their Italian sub) and added bacon. The bread was fresh and had that perfect balance of soft and chewy -- exactly what you want in a good sub. They definitely don't skimp on the meat either, which is always a big plus in my book. My only minor knock was the bacon -- it tasted like the pre-cooked, microwave-ready kind. Not a dealbreaker, but it stood out compared to the rest of the sandwich, which was otherwise great. Overall, Frank's Deli is a great lunch spot with fair prices and generous portions. I'm not from the area, but if I were, this would definitely be in my rotation. read more

What a fantastic place, we thought maybe we had made a wrong turn but out of the blue stands a little brick building with 'Delicatessen' inscribed on the side, so we knew we were n the right place. The menu is simple but clean and you know will be well executed. We opted for a classic Reuben and a cold turkey sub and both were perfection. The Reuben was well-dressed and had plenty of flavor and the turkey was perfectly balanced with each component contributing to the overall appeal. One of the owners (son) was happy to tell us about their story, being there for 28 years, introduce us to his Mom who was churning out orders like a pro and his brother, all while pointing out their pictures proudly displayed by the register. They were kind and considerate and very appreciative to every customer they interacted with, which is so nice to see. In a world of choices this is the kind of place I want to see thrive. Great food, kind people, we'll be back. read more

Grabbed lunch here and so glad we gave it a try. We stopped by around 2pm on Tuesday and there was a steady flow of customers. We were quickly greeted as we walked in and given a copy of the menu to look over. We both ordered turkey sandwiches and I added bacon to mine. We also got two drinks and we then grabbed a table. We didn't wait too long and the friendly employee brought us our food. The sandwiches were big and in my case I could've shared my other half. Both sandwiches were packed with turkey, cheese, and mine had plenty of bacon. They were both really good and had flavor. We didn't realize we could've gotten them toasted so for next time we know. The inside was clean and spacious. Service was good and the subs were great! read more

First time coming here, placed a call in order told him I'd be there in about 10 minutes. Arrived and our order was ready, we had 4 subs and all had some customization to it and all were made correctly. Portions are huge and everything was fresh,staff were friendly. I'd definitely recommend and I'd definitely come back! It is like a corner market, and I honestly didn't pay too much attention if there were tables to sit at and eat as we grabbed our order to go. We had different subs tuna, pastrami, the club and all of us liked our sandwiches. I did see they sell cheesecake, I'll have to try that when I come back. read more

Been coming to Franks for years. This was my weekly - sometimes daily sandwich spot. The owners are great. The sandwiches are delicious I get a ham and cheese with all the fixings - extra jalapeño and Italian dressing. I grab two bags of chips and usually an amazing soda from the coolers. I also love the macaroni salad. I would be careful coming at night - the area can be a little sketch but the sandwiches are definitely worth getting robbed over. Risk vs reward! read more
