No visit to Aspen is complete without having a sandwich from this place. It is the literal "hole in the wall" but goodness - so delicious! Fresh to order sandwiches, very friendly service and the sandwiches are perfect! Finger-licking good! read more

People were incredibly rude and the older lady at the front even called me a liar when I placed an order 20 minutes before arriving claiming I only called a few minutes before I arrived. It's ok just to say it'll take a little more time sir, but the attitude and behavior was simply unacceptable. Don't come here if you want to be treated with an ounce of respect. read more

What a busy lunch spot but the line goes fast and the staff make the sandwiches quickly. read more

Still the best sandwich in Aspen and western slope. Prompt, well priced and friendly staff! Driving a limo around Aspen, it's quick in/out and I frequently recommend to our clients if they're looking for a quality lunch within a short walk from Jerome Hotel, Carls pharmacy, downtown... They now have large, REALLY good Dill pickles sliced in quarters or halves... read more

We had sandwiches two days in a row and all were great. Super cute place we walked by and glad we decided to grab a bite to eat. We will be back when we are in Aspen again. read more

We came here for lunch during our day spent in Aspen. We split their 'Cassidy' panini. It was good, but could've had more olives and pesto in it. The sandwiches are made fresh to order, so expect to wait 10-15 minutes for your sandwich if there's a long line. The prices were very affordable for Aspen. They have a little bit of outdoor seating only. You can only order inside. They give you a discount if you pay with CASH!!! read more

Grateful Deli - The Cassidy Panini - Sandwiches Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

The Sandwich King in the Colorado Rockies! Undefeated and highly regarded subs and wraps by this wonderful deli. The owner is a great man. I basically came here everyday during my trip back in March/April. He would pack extra turkey for my Pomsky service dog every time I came for free. Those "fancy" places around are okay but I rather get better quality subs from TSK any given day! read more

Don't even bother going to another place for a sandwich in Aspen. This deli is unbelievable! Everytime we visit, we have to stop in. Great selection of sandwiches. Absolutely delicious every-time! read more

We found this place on yelp because we were looking for a sandwich for lunch and we didn't want to try to find a restaurant with our dog. This place popped up and we headed that way. Apparently this is a very popular spot with the locals because there was a steady flow of people ordering and they knew exactly what they wanted. This place does not have any inside seating and is very small (150 sq ft) When you walk in you need to know what you want, grab your chips and drinks, place your order, and then exit until they call your name. They have some outside tables and chairs under a tree. Sandwiches are huge; so, we decided to split the shakedown. This sandwich was absolutely wonderful! It has the most delicious pesto on it..... and lots of it. Quite honestly, I would rather go here and grab a sandwich then go somewhere else for "nicer" meal read more

The food portion is super large. But they expect tips when they don't really offer any services. The food quality is ok. And I wouldn't go back again read more

Grateful Deli - Veg-Out Sub - Sandwiches Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

terrible service. Two sandwiches took 40 minutes. The flow of customers in/out is awful. Find someplace else for lunch.

The owners were the nicest people! The sandwiches were huge and delicious. Had the veggie and everything was so fresh. I was full for the rest of the day. read more

So this time we ordered the Garcia and Bertha and made it over to the park to eat these killer sandwiches. They are as big as a softball and delicious beyond belief. The service as usual was fast even considering how big the line was. I'm talking like 3 minutes of waiting, no time at all right. Having lived nextdoor to the Dead back in The City I can tell you the inside of the Deli is just like the inside of their kitchen. They have all the necessary gear to make you feel like you're hanging with Jerry and the Boys! read more

Grateful Deli - The Place - Sandwiches Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

The owner is a long time local. And treats his customers the way they should be treated. The Bertha and the Slipknot are my go to sandwiches. Fast service. Smiling faces when you go in the door. Even when they are slammed. And the food is always good. Definitely recommend it. read more

Been coming here for awhile. Their sandwiches always slap and the owners are great people. The bad reviews are just a bunch of grinches. Happy holiday! read more

When I was living up in Aspen Colorado, I had a job as a arm Security at the courthouse one day. I'm walking down the street and I see Grateful Dead sandwich shop went in there and oh my God those sandwiches are addictive because they are fresh. I mean from the bread to the onions to the meat to the peppers. Everything was delicious. I even got a frequent flyer Car 10 stamps and you get one free so I ended up going there every day. I just bought my sandwich there and buy my chips and soda at the gas station. I think my sandwich was like 1199 but it was good anytime food is good and it's worth worth the price read more

Grateful Deli - Build Your Own Sandwich: turkey, swiss, avocado, pickles, lettuce, tomato, dijon, wheat bread. - Sandwiches Near Me - Aspen, Colorado

I was on a trip from work when I stumbled upon the most hipster sandwich spot in Aspen, Colorado. This is not a sandwich place where you're going to sit down and enjoy the sub and watch the butterflies, they call your name, you grab it and you take it to go or you eat it real quick on one of the few tables outside. I saw a lot of bikers and people on their lunch breaks who get it. Compared to other restaurants in the area, this place is a hidden gem because it's not as costly as some of the other restaurants. I was not disappointed in the bread, meat or veggies because it all tasted FRESH. They call your name when your food is order and you can also get a cookie, soda, or chips with your sandwich. It gives off Austin, Texas vibes, so if you're expecting a subway or jimmy johns, go elsewhere. If you're looking for a quick bite on your way to the bookstore next door, hit this place up :) read more

Tiny little spot centrally located with delicious food. We got a couple paninis on the go and ate in the car as we were in a hurry. Very good food and friendly staff. We will be back read more

Great hole in the wall in Aspen. For as busy as they were I thought the wait times weren't bad. Hands down one of the best Reuben sandwiches I've found in general. read more

I love trying small local joints so my wife and I looked up this sandwich shop on Yelp and figured we'd give it a try. The sandwich was okay, nothing special and honestly I'm not sure I'd go back. There was nothing wrong with it, but there just wasn't anything that stood out as being any better than any other sandwich I could get somewhere else. I will say, the sandwich sizes are pretty huge though, so if you're really hungry and looking for a sandwich that doesn't need to be special this may be your spot. read more

Unique and delicious subs for a quick, inexpensive meal in Aspen. The inside of the deli is very small and is just for placing orders. There isn't enough room to wait for orders or to dine in. Outside there are a few tables for those that want to eat their sub on the spot. With so many parks nearby it'd be easy to grab your sub and enjoy somewhere else if the deli is too busy. I liked that the menu featured unique sub options. They offer some of the expected options, but most are not the usual options. Any sub can be made into a panini too. If bread isn't your thing they also offer several salads. Picky eaters can build their own. The Shakedown Sub was very good and generously portioned. I liked the combination of turkey, provolone, pesto, mayo, and roasted red peppers. The bread was tasty too. My husband ordered the El Paso as a panini. This was my favorite of the two sandwiches we ordered. The green chilies and chipotle mayo made this unique flavored. Paninis are smaller than subs so order a sub if you want a larger portion. read more

We stopped here for sandwiches while in Aspen before heading to Maroon Bells. Tiny little shop but great sandwiches and a large menu. They do have some tables setup outside for dining but otherwise you have to take your food to go. It's a great stop to grab food before a hike or picnic! read more

I stopped in here for a light lunch after a long morning of hiking. I was excited to see their different options as well as their reasonable pricing for the area!

Woww I'm amazed how good and tasty the sandwiches are It's a really small store on the corner but amazing food and reasonable prices for such a fresh and tasty food read more

Good service but both of our sandwiches were sub par - ingredients seemed old. One of the cooks on the line had a nasty hacking cough. We both got sick after eating... probably shouldn't have eaten the sandwiches since we could tell they weren't fresh. Would not recommend. read more

Wonderful sandwiches and drinks. They have some good looking cookies too. Helpful with dissecting menu for dairy allergy. Their egg salad was a most spectacular sandwich on sourdough. It was made to order with all the fixings. Fork provided to eat every last bite. It is a large sandwich so a split between two adults is fine. We didn't get a special sandwich but the chicken curry would be our next go around. Staff was nice and hardworking. Smile, queue up and enjoy a delicious bite. Tell 'em Molly sent ya! read more

Excellent sandwich shop. I placed a large order at the store to go and they got it all right (including the special requests). The Minglewood (curried chicken salad), mushroom melt, Garcia (turkey/bacon), and Mexical (chicken/avocado/cheese), were all A+. This is one of the most affordable places to eat in Aspen, on par with Big Wrap and Hickory House. read more

Decent sandwich and might have enjoyed it better if I had a clean table to use. I imagine this place is mostly for takeout but they do have tables outside. They were filthy! I ate half of my sandwich and then I found a body hair in the second half. That kind of sums up the experience as a whole. read more

Ewwwwwwww. Somebody call 911 - Dont eat a this place! There is an older guy that works at the Grateful Deli with white hair. Around 4-5 pm, while making sandwiches, this guy wrote up orders, picked money up from the floor, wiped his hands on his pants, and handled cash. Then, he started to make sandwiches without washing his hands. While he was putting his nasty, dirty, yucky fingers all over some deli meat, I asked him why he was handling food without washing his hands. The guy shrugged his shoulders, wiped his hands on a cloth, and continued to make sandwiches. Gross! EWWWWW - someone call the health department - worst/grosses restaurant ever. read more

The two employees were arguing with each other in front of the customers right when my boyfriend and I walked in. I understand that rushes are stressful, but you have to be professional. The lady who took our order didn't communicate very well with us because she focused her energy on talking back to the woman making the sandwiches. Once we signed the receipt we didn't receive a "thank you" at all or any sign that we were all set.. We had to awkwardly walk out while they continued arguing. I strongly advise the two employees to work on communication, leave the attitude aside, and understand that customers sitting outside can hear every argument you have! Your bickering makes everyone feel uncomfortable!! My boyfriend and I got two Garcia sandwiches. They were supposed to come with avocado and sprouts, but there were no sprouts on either and ONE slice of avocado on his sandwich. Probably because the chef was focused on arguing rather than making the sandwiches correctly? The overall taste was nothing special at all. Most people could make something better at home. The bread tasted and felt cheap and it was not good cold. I would not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Well, deli me sideways. For a non-local, this place was hard to find. Rationale: I was on the wrong side of the street. Ah. This place was a "Welcome to Aspen" lunch for my coworker and myself - after a long day of flying in NYC, we were hungry. Once we found the place, we ordered up some food and sat outside. It took a good 15 minutes for our food to come. This begs the question - was the service slow? Is Aspen just slow? Are we just used to the speed NYC? All good questions. Truth: I don't really know. The food we got was good - there are a lot of special sandwiches, and if I had the time I would be back to try more. Slightly slow, slightly pricey (lunch was $14 or so each, but I think that's just an Aspen thing) but definitely worth a stop in. Not the best deli sandwich i've ever had, but I think i'm being unfair with what I am comparing it to. That said, Aspen residents and visitors alike --- this is definitely a place to check out. read more

Overpriced. No where to sit. Sandwich was dry and needs more mayo, but of course, since you have to take it to go, it's hard to tell when you get your sandwiches. Not inexpensive, but large portions. I recommend sharing a sandwich read more
