    Visited our daughter this past weekend and was finally able to pick up food from the deli. They were pretty busy, especially with Kenyon's Family Weekend. I assume this was a welcome change of pace for the business. Overall, the service was good. I don't want to knock them because of how busy the restaurant was. We ordered a grilled cheese on sourdough, a veggie build your own sandwich with pesto, and a chicken caprese sandwich. There were a couple of details that were missed with our order. My daughter ordered a grilled cheese on sourdough and received it on wheat bread. My sandwich was supposed to be prepared on toasted sourdough and the bread wasn't toasted. So by the time I made it to the football stadium, it was soggy. But these errors won't discourage me from returning, the next time I visit campus.

    Gambier Deli is good considering where it's located. It's stuck in a small college town with little other dining options. The menu has lots of choices. It may change depending when classes are held. There's a few options for vegetarians too. It's located in Gambier where there aren't that many businesses. It's also heavily dependent on Kenyon College. When school is not in session it gets slow. It may run out of several items. That's to be expected because it gets dead around there and it isn't that busy to begin with. Be prepared to get substitutions since they'll probably be out of items. The Rosemary's Oil and Spice sandwich is good and it's not too pricey at about $5. I wanted the Yardley's Bundle of Joy but they had no hummus. They were also out of some of the breads which is annoying but there was not as much business. I would recommend visiting Gambier Deli if you're in town. It's one of the most popular businesses. The best time to go is when school is open so you get the best service.

    Best deli place in Knox county! Large menu and choices galore! Everything made fresh! Fast and friendly service! Choice of inside or outside seating. During the lunch hour you may want to be there early as it is a popular spot and there will be a line developing. The prices are reasonable for what you are getting.
