Friendly staff, very clean with great sandwiches and an excellent menu produced with excellent ingredients

I've heard great things about this place, as far as Boars Head sandwiches. So I finally decided to try it. Location: In a strip mall. It's a limited grocer, deli and seems to have gas station choices. Which means they have a little bit of everything. Beer, wine, chips, candy, soda drinks. Service: Its owner operated. There were 2 young gentleman working. I ordered a hot Beefstrami sandwich. Employe did recommend. You can make a value meal for $2.49, which includes either macaroni salad, potato salad or pasta salad, chips & a drink. I only wanted 1/2 sandwich. It was around $9. Service was fine, nothing over the top. They have a great selection of sandwiches hot & cold. Boars Head meat & cheese. I got it to go. They did have minimal seating, outside the front of store. Conclusion: Sandwich was tasty, sub roll was burnt but a good amount of beef & pastrami, pickles, cheddar cheese, mayo & mustard. I want to try their Ruben next. read more

I was pleasantly surprised when I walked into the Grocery Station this morning. They were taking croissants out of the oven. The owner said they make all the rolls, croissants and cookies on the premises. The grocery station is truly a gem if you like, homemade bread and croissants. It was excellent and it was under six dollars!!! read more

This was the best Sandwich I've ever had in my entire life. The owner Marty is the friendliest and best guy ever. You won't get better service anywhere else. I will returning If you haven't been you absolutely have to go and try it. Best sandwich i've ever had in my life. read more

Stopped by and ordered a Beefstrami, very delicious. Favorite part of the sandwich was the bread, thin roll, fresh, crispy and chewy all in one. Staff was very friendly, great neighborhood spot! read more

I came in with high hopes after seeing the solid reviews, especially coming from Los Angeles where delis and quality sandwiches are everywhere. Unfortunately, this spot didn't live up to expectations for me. The place was understaffed (I noticed some younger workers, which is fine), leading to a very slow service-- it took about 25 minutes just to get a single sandwich. When it finally arrived, it felt underwhelming: the bread and meats tasted like standard store-bought quality, nothing fresh or house-made that stood out. For the price and wait time, it just didn't feel worth it. Honestly, I could have walked across the street to Albertsons, grabbed the same (or better) ingredients, and made a superior sandwich in less time overall. I've never had that thought at a dedicated deli before. If you're looking for a quick, no-frills convenience store sandwich and don't mind the wait, it might work--especially if you're a regular who likes the simpler options. But for anyone expecting a deli with quality or efficiency, I'd skip this spot and run to Albertsons. Albertsons French bread is 1000x better than whatever they served me. It'll take you the same amount of time making one yourself, and it'll taste better. I promise you. read more

After ten years away from the neighborhood I moved back and the first thing I did was visit Grocery Station! I was very happy to see Marty still owned the store and the amazing job he's done with the place. The floors were recently done and they look a million times better than that old tile. They have new shelves, the wine and beer selection has grown immensely, also the soft drinks selections had a big improvement. My main reason for coming was of course the great deli and in particular the Beefstrami! This sandwich is simple but bursting with flavor. Creamy mayo tangy mustard the pickles add the perfect crunch and saltiness. I saw a review from Marky M. saying negative things about the sandwich and the store. Based off his picture it looked like he modified the Beefstrami to fulfill his basic child taste buds. Looking at his profile the guy seems miserable and only leaves negative reviews at all the places he visits. read more

Best sandwich's around ! Always recommend to locals and visitors . Love everything they offer

Amazing sandwiches and friendly staff! A perfect local sandwich place. My favorite is the Italian if you are looking for recommendations.

Saw this place via yelp had good reviews so decided to try it, reviews are spot on. I got a turkey ham and Swiss sub it didn't disappoint. If you're in the area and hunkering for a great sandwich do yourself a favour and get one here. They also have desserts by judy's Sweet addiction at the cash register. Had the rice crispy bar as well as the maple glaze cinnamon roll cake. Both were awesome the cinnamon roll cake absolutely divine. read more

Based on the pictures and reviews, I was expecting a lot more than this sad looking beefstrami. Very little meat, one single slice of tomato and little onions, compressed and flaky bread, and cheese that I didn't even realize was there but was melted between the meat. Compare mine to the other pics on here and something is quite wrong. It's obviously not the same sandwich place it used to be. Higher prices, lower quality and smaller portions. What a shocker these days. As for taste, it was one-dimensional. No flavor aside from the meat which tasted strange. Definitely no cheddar or mayo flavor despite being on there. The teen who helped me was nice, but based on the worker conversations and who was loitering around, I have a feeling it's stoner feed made by stoners. Sorry, but unlike what I was told by the guy helping me, I most certainly was not 'missing out' by not trying them before. Especially not for over $10 before tax! If anyone with taste buds is reading this, please save your money and go somewhere good for a sandwich, like a certain place off Raintree with a well-warranted five star rating. As for here, it barely gets two. read more

My husband and I get sandwiches here often because of the many delicious choices and the homemade rolls which are so tasty. The owner and staff are always friendly and welcoming! read more

Don't judge this book by its cover. The dingy strip mall liquor store vibe made us question the high ratings and we may have considered driving away. We were both glad we didn't. The sandwiches were fresh, delicious and a terrific value for the meager price. I got the beef pastrami and it was awesome. The meat was melt in your mouth and the bun was soft and perfectly toasted to give it a nice crunch without the sharp edges. My wife got the Italian and loved it. The staff was friendly and it's apparent why they have a faithful local following. Definitely recommend it. read more

Best sandwiches in Scottsdale. Locally owned. Good people. Never been disappointed. read more

I ordered two sandwiches through GrubHub, the Philly cheesesteak sandwich with onion, Swiss cheese, green peppers and mayonnaise. I wish that is what I got, but I didn't, there was a sprinkling of mayonnaise no onion, one piece of green pepper that looked like a green M&M that somehow made its way onto the sandwich. The bun was so dry I nearly choked on the sandwich. I also tried the potato salad, which was very good tasted similar to what you would get at Costco or the grocery store. The Italian sandwich made up for how bad the Philly cheesesteak was. I think someone was having a bad day when they made the Philly cheesesteak similar to the day the Philadelphia eagles had against the Kansas City Chiefs. That being said the Italian sandwich was absolutely delicious and the only reason I'm giving four stars to this restaurant/grocery store. I really wanted to get five stars but I could not excuse the absolute poor quality of the Philly. It was pathetic. I will def. eat at this place again, simply for the Italian sandwich, wish I could've said the same for the Philly cheesesteak. The bread on the Italian was fantastic as well!!! read more

My mom found this place recently and she adores it. It has a generic name and seems like any regular convenience store but the sandwiches are delicious and affordable. I've had the beef pastrami, turkey delight, roast beef, and club sandwiches. My sister always gets the turkey delight, but she doesn't like avocado, so I always gladly take her avocado on the side. I would definitely recommend this place as a safe covid take out option, especially if you want to avoid indoor seating where you might run into notorious anti-masker Charles P. Thompson. read more

We placed an order for 5 sandwiches and they said it would be ready in 15 min! The full sandwiches don't look very big but they are filling. I got the Philly steak sandwich and it was soo good. You can also make it a meal for an extra $2 to get chips, a soda, and a small side (potato salad, macaroni salad, or coleslaw). I got the coleslaw and it was alright (a little dry). You order your sandwich at the counter (or call ahead) but it's inside a convenience store, so it's convenient (haha) if you want to grab a different snack or drink to go with your sandwich. read more

Really enjoyed my Italian sandwich. Like stated in other reviews, the owner and staff are very friendly. They use premium ingredients and their bread is fresh and delicious. Atmosphere is like a New York corner store. Give these guys a try! read more

The hype is real. Great deli sandwich. I destroyed the beefstrami. So good. Great bread and meats. Its a low key convenience store in an undistinguished corner strip mall. Totally worth a shirt drive out of your way. Fast service, very friendly staff. Don't continue to pour your money into crappy sandwich places like Subway, Jimmy John's, etc. Support a local place that has really great sandwiches instead read more

Always friendly. Lots of items to choose from. Sandwiches are really great. Clean atmosphere.

Been coming here for a year or two now and Marty and crew never disappoint. Quality sandwiches loaded with toppings and Boars Head cold cuts & cheese. Very friendly staff who greet you and thank you when you leave! If you are in the area check it out and get a Beefstrami (My favorite). read more

Sandwiches to die for. Fresh savory abs the kids working are great. Fast after ordering and the price is reasonable. Great soups if available. Highly recommend this small sandwich place. Why order from Mikes when we have a local place that makes as good or better subs. Let's help our own hidden gems !!! read more

I came back from Grocery Station one day and told my family, "there is something about going to Grocery Station that is just happy." And there is. The sandwiches there are just incredible and the bread just makes it all. The meat is amazing along with the vegetables it is just the perfect sandwich. Everything they make is fresh and it has not been sitting under a heat lamp for 3 hours. The workers there are friendly and greet you when you walk in. And it is amazing that I can walk in and be out in a literal minute with everything I need. And it is cozy to be there. It is small but it has all you need. Snacks, sandwiches, drinks. That is why they call us a convenience store. read more

I go here all the time! Marty is the owner and is welcoming and truly makes Grocery Station a store to keep coming back to!

Great little store. I've been a customer since the old man owned it and would sometimes sell me my Copenhagen I was 9 kinda normal back then anyway new owners much nicer and I'm sure never sell Copenhagen to the kids from elementary school lol. In fact I know they don't I've seen an old man get carded it was me. read more

This is an owner-operated, operator-owned store (by Marty) that needs our support (especially now: April 2020). This small store has a deli with Boar's Heads brand deli meats and cheeses. If you didn't know, the Boar's Head brand is premium deli fare. We called them last Sunday, spoke our order into the phone, and picked up our order at the store. No credit card information was requested on the phone, which is comforting to those (like myself) who are not accustomed to using some of the tech delivery services. We paid upon pick up. Clean transaction. Marty was there. Marty also has a selection of wine and beer at market prices along with the usual convenience store type items. They'll also make you some pretty great sandwiches you can carry out. I'm not sure Marty ever goes home. He works his business with his "nose to the grindstone." Who doesn't admire this? My purpose is writing this, ultimately, is to send the message that if you need quality meats and cheeses (or anything else), don't forget the small business right around the corner, that one you pass by. Go the extra mile in support of smaller, local businesses where providing quality products counts. read more

Highly recommend a stop by the "corner store" and treat yourself to a beefstrami, I like it as it comes. Marty the owner and his employees are always super friendly and know all of the regulars by first name. Marty always makes the extra effort and it's noticed. The sandwiches, beer, wine, and customer service make this place a must stop. 5 star corner store. read more

#1 in the valley. Hands down. Bar none. Beefstrami. But get it with swiss instead of cheddar (although both are good). 2 words- Boars Head Bring a date (not for the ambieance but if she's seriously into food). Try the coleslaw- its a family recipe. You won't be able to duplicate it. read more

Try it! You wouldn't even know they served food from the outside and would never think to stop in and check it out BUT once you do you keep coming back for more. Great breakfast bagel sandwiches and awesome deli sandwiches! read more

Been going to this corner store for years, Marty is the man. Sandwiches are delicious and super friendly staff. 10/10

Consistently great service and deli. Marty the owner is amazing. I moved away from location and I'll miss going.

If you're on this side of town and looking for a sub sandwich or quick snack, this is a great locally owned store to stop into. Everyone working the counter, either the young kids or the owners, is always so gracious about answering your questions about the menu and giving you good service. Just got a sub sandwich here and some delicious gluten free Rice Krispy treats and oatmeal cookies on my last stop. Everything tasted good and was priced so reasonably. If you have time to sit, there's also an adequate seating area for you to enjoy your meal. Why go to Subway or a chain sandwich shop when you have a nice place like this? read more

Hole in the wall sandwich and deli. Great homemade bread and all the sides. Easy to bike there from the neighborhood.

This place reminds me of the neighborhood store that kids would ride their bikes to, eat snacks, drink soda and hang out after school. Fantastic sandwiches at very reasonable prices. Marty the owner is great, the place has become a neighborhood gem. read more

Food and service were on point and timely prepared! Great sandwiches for a convenient store environment

I'm so lucky to have this hidden gem just down the street from me! The Boars Head meat, cheese and Soup! "Yes" I said hot fresh soup in the winter is to die for! I have had the pleasure of indulging in the huge salads and sandwiches as well. Plus grab a locally made bakery item and lottery ticket on your way out. Thanks Marty and family for your fast and friendly service! read more
