I see all the plates going out and every one looks amazing . Try their Schnitzel and Goulash with all the German salads on the side . For anyone who wants to try a German Classic try the Rouladen it's gourmet steak rolled into deliciousness covered in gravy , I give this place 5 Stars read more

Few places I would give 6 stars if possible. You won't find a better spot for sandwiches, although lately my go-to is their beef rouladan. Their portions are very generous and their customer service is unreal; they treat every customer like family. read more

They really have a great selection. They can order special requests. They treat you very special. You can dine in and have food cooked for you. They even made my sister something they don't carry. The food tasted great. The quality of the food was amazing. They have a good selection of sausages, breads by special order and they have a nice selection of beer from Germany. One of the owners, Buffy, often creates her own amazing sides, dishes, condiments. The two that I've tried were extremely tasteful and unique. Everytime I try something new I'm compelled to update this review because of a worthwhile experience. The split pea soup... My review: buy it. Enough said. If not, your loss. I never even liked split pea soup. read more

Absolutely delicious, huge and tender Reuben sandwich is my main order. Always a great staff with comfortable settings. Thank you for the wonderful experiences Globe Deli! read more

I came here one Saturday and ordered a bratwurst sandwich after driving by and seeing the banner at the top of the building advertising them. I took it home and opened up the Styrofoam box. The brat was grilled and wrapped in foil and it came with a buttered French roll and a little container of deli mustard. The sandwich was okay, but a little pricey for what it was at around $9. It also came with some sauteed cabbage type stuff with some bits of bacony meat in it and a side of your choice of potato salad, which I chose dill. I've heard they get their sausages from Mattern Sausage and Meats in Orange. read more

What did I just walk into.. this place was amazing. A def secret gem hidden amongst other little shops but it is by far the greatest deli I've been to. They play polka music, had an amazing German beer selection and knew their customers. I was greeted with nothing but smiles and stuffed faces. The sand which was amazing (chef's Favorite with everything on it) and the sauerkraut was drool worthy. Please take all of my money and more.. i am going to die here happy! Please come check out this little gem of a place. My cheeks hurt from laughing with the employees, eating my huge sandwich and non-stop smiling. Much love to the authenticity of this place!) read more

Best sandwiches ever. If you dont know what you want they will make you something special that is not even on the menu. The sandwiches are huge! Definitely filling. read more

Great local German deli. I've had a couple brats here, and believe me they are delicious, not only that but they're served with amazing German potato salad with bacon chunks. The other day I ordered the Goulash dinner plate, and OMG, what a great meal. I definitely recommended it!! read more

Trying to find another adjective for "best" or "fantastic" ... because these sandwiches are beyond "best" - they are incredible. We drove miles because a friend wanted a liverwurst (ugh) sandwich but we also bought turkey, tuna melt, had sauerkraut, apple streudel,. Wowza. Everything was top notch, fresh and highest quality. Everyone raved! You won't find such a place anywhere around-- and any euro aficionados will concur. Can't wait till we return. And the owner is personable and fun...and loves what he does. Order ahead though! read more

It's been 4 1/2 years since I set foot in Globe because of the a-hole owner. Tonight when I read another review under the goulash menu part, I see he hasn't changed one bit. This lady had the same extremely rude customer service that I had. I'm surprised he hasn't run the place in the ground yet. Not going there is just a minor inconvenience since Mattern Deli in Orange isn't all that far away. And jerk-off buys his sausages from Mattern anyway. Well hallelujah! Mr Rude Jerkoff is no longer there! There was an extremely nice, friendly and polite man behind the counter. What a pleasure. Only suggestion is to beef up the lunchtime staff. Two people could have easily handled the lunch crowd. I can't wait to start digging into my Wurst, Kraut und Kartoffelsalat tonight! read more

If ever there was a small local business worth supporting, Globe European Delicatessen would be it. From a great selection of German imported foods, to an array of delicious sandwiches, to incredibly friendly service - Globe does it all right. I've come here for both ingredients to make German food at home (they carry local sausages from Mattern in Orange), and for sandwiches, and I've never been disappointed. Who doesn't love a good Reuben? Seriously, this place is awesome! read more

Good German deli. I've heard about it many times and have eating it takeout, but today I went in and had lunch. I got a pastrami sandwich. Loved it. I like hot sandwiches more, but this was still good. Next time I'll get a bratwurst. They have some good looking ones. Great section of German beers. Claim to have 150+. On tap just one, but it's a deal. Really a nice place. read more

SOOOOO delicious, and HUGE sandwiches. We tried the Reuben, corned beef, salami & Swiss, and liverwurst. The bread appears to be fresh-made in-house - we had marble rye, rye, and jalapeño cheddar. Can't wait to come back and try more sandwiches - and next time we'll get sliced cold cuts to take home, too! read more

The BEST pastrami and the pickles are incredible too. Sandwiches are huge and so yummy.

Really authentic food. Especially if you are craving home cooking. Everything is fresh and just right. Goulash is worth the price of admission. Makes you feel like grandma made it! read more

By far the best club sandwich I have ever had. Hungarian Celebrity Bacon makes the sandwich special. The added plus is the great friendly service. read more

First off I'm a new customer to this deli. I've been here a handful of times over the last 2 months and the food is really good. It's the best sandwich I've found in the area. That said the last 2 times I've been here they have shorted my order meaning they didn't include something. Now the food here is really good but it's also expensive. I don't mind paying for good food but if I order something it should be in the bag when you tell me "here is everything you ordered". When you don't get what you order you have a feeling of being ripped off. It's the simplest thing to do in the restaurant business but idk why so many places can't do it. 2 stars for the great food but I don't like being charged 10 dollars for some potato salad and not receiving it. Just check the bag I guess when you go here or anywhere for that matter. read more

Checked this place out yesterday for the first time. Amazing pastrami sandwich. Great portions. Filling and really tasty. Great service. Glad this place is opened up for takeout. Check it out if you love a good sandwich. read more

I've been coming to this little Hole-in-the-Wall Deli for over 40 years . The Food here is fantastic and the owners are superb people . Highly recommend read more

All of their food is delicious. They offer a good variety of brats, sausages and beer. Their potato salad is the best!!

My dad had recommended I try Globe Deli after I moved to the area, and I just happened to be walking by yesterday after leaving 24 at a Triangle Square. My boyfriend and I are both keto and always looking for new food options, plus I promised I'd bring home lunch, so it worked out that it finally was on my route. The inside is adorable! Lots of different European treats, groceries, and drinks. There are a couple tables and stools if you stop in for lunch. The deli has a wide variety of potato salads, cheeses, and sausages, which you can also get in bulk to go. I got bratwurst and knockwurst lunch specials with coleslaw and no bun, which they kindly suggested we get "sandwich style" with tomato, pickles, and mustard/mayo. Definitely the way to go! We split the sausages and both agreed the brat was best, but it was all delicious. The highlight of my trip was (who I believe was) the owner taking the time to make sure I had a great experience. I felt so bad, I was a little incoherent after hitting the gym, but she was very attentive, offering samples and making sure any questions I had were answered. We chatted for a bit, mostly about how cute their shop is, and I told her how my dad used to come to lunch often, but had recently been laid off and hadn't been in a while. She offered well wishes and kind words, and went out of her way to make sure I felt welcome and that she was thinking about my family. It made my day. You just don't meet a lot of people or businesses that have that level of sincerity in hospitality. I didn't have the wherewithal to thank her or get her name yesterday, but I do want to thank her for bringing a little light to my day. Thank you! For everything! read more

I finally tried this place, got the turkey sandwich on sourdough, BOMB!!!!! It was so good, the most flavorful ingredients, the tomatoes tasted so fresh, bread was great, all amazing. The man who took my order (and probably made my sandwich as well) was super friendly too. If you like old school sandwiches you will love this place. Support local businesses! read more

Best sandwiches in town! Love supporting local businesses and they always make you feel welcomed.

I bought lunch for my employees today because they are working really hard during this time. Jason has our order ready on time and everything was outstanding! Our staff said it was the best sandwiches and potato salad they ever had. They also lived the Mexican cokes! A great add. I am so glad you guys are here. I love supporting local small business. We will be coming back for years to come. Thanks again Jason! read more

I have been coming here for 30 years. I have seen this place go through three different owners and it is by far my favorite sandwich spot in Orange County. Lately I have been opting for the veggie sandwich, I ask them to put everything on it. Might be my favorite sandwich of all time. Sometimes the orders can take a while because they put so much love and care into the sandwiches so if you know you are in a hurry call in advance or go somewhere else. read more

I had a Reuben sandwich and my girlfriend had the Beef dip. They were both incredible. We walked out feeling like we received what we paid for and more. The food and atmosphere reminded me of the type of place you would have seen on an episode of Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations". I will definitely be coming back! read more

Another owner. And less inventory. Owner thinks Kruegermann is eatable sauerkraut. He has no idea about German brands. This place went from 5 stars to 1 stars over the last few years. read more

Love these dudes. The sandwiches are always delish and the customer service is great. They forgot something in our order today but called to let us know before we even realized it! I'm happy to order a Cal BLT to make sure they survive these dang shutdowns. read more

The food is awesome I have been coming here for the last 35 years and the quality is in the food. Great small business. I wish their was more small deli's like this thanks for doing such a great job. read more

I got the schnitzel sandwich by itself with a side of red cabbage and German potato salad. This meal reminded me of a my parent's co-worker who would invite us to dinner. The customer service was very friendly and cordial as well. I will definitely eat here again and try something else even though the schnitzel was superb. read more

My husband has been missing his business trips to Germany and so I went to Globe Deli for their German sausages (which are ALL amazing!) The other day on my regular sausage run, the owner suggested I try the rouladen (a German meat dish) which I didn't even see on the menu. It was a full meal with the homemade rouladen, dumplings, red slaw, gravy and fresh bread and butter. I don't know if they made this just for me or if it is a regular item, but you must ask for it and try it - Especially during this time of take-out meals. It was so yummy and it heated up perfect, juicy and tender. The owner is always so nice, friendly and helpful! Thanks for the great food and for giving us our German fix! read more

The sandwiches here are delicious. The bread tastes fresh and they use a generous amount of meat. They spread their mayonnaise and mustard to the edges of the bread and generously enough so you don't feel like there's too much or too little. They don't skimp on toppings either. It's a perfect balance. This is my new favorite sandwich place! read more

Thank you Jason for the great lunch and service today. We are looking forward to the chicken soup tomorrow. Keep up the good work read more

Best deli in south Orange County!!! Everything is freshly made and the breads are one of a kind... highly recommended for anyone looking for a true German deli which is almost impossible to find in California. read more

I love Globe deli. They have fresh cooked German food every day it's delicious. There's items you cannot buy in the other stores so I have to make my trip to Globe to get some great German food . The bread is so fresh and I always get lunch meats and cheese as well as seasoning for my goulash and routeladen. I highly recommend Globe especially if you want fresh German food. Lunch time is busy because people come in and order fresh cooked food for lunch just FYI. Enjoy!! Brigitte read more

Wow! Just wow! I never knew this place was here until my roommate brought me and let me tell you the food is amazing!!! The German potato salad was so so good! The veal loaf sandwich was huge and filling. It's a cute little deli as well and a nice variety of goods to choose from. The sourdough bread was so soft and perfect! I will definitely be coming back! read more

This place is amazing best roast beef salami sandwich yet, amazing meat and bread. I now have a new spot.
