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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

A hidden gem. Amazing food. Amazing service. If you're ever in the area, it's definitely worth a special trip!

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

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

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

Just visited this place for my first time and I guarantee you will not be my last time. Super friendly staff. Awesome sandwich I got the Ruben California style and it was insane.
