    Time Square

    First time in this deli and safe to say I will be back! I love a good local sandwich shop! I came on a weekday and it wasn't super crowded but a handful of people were sitting and eating. I'm actually obsessed with the ambiance here. The mural outside is so cute! They do have parking in the back but I just parked on the street. I ordered the Times Square and it was so good. If you like coleslaw and thousands island dressing, I highly recommend! They have great special deals and an accurate menu from their website and in shop! Service was super friendly. I ordered a cold sandwich and they got my sandwich done in under 5 minutes! Can't wait to come back!

    You wait in line to order & then they call your name for your completed order.

    Stopped around lunchtime & it was a busy place. We parked along a side street. The line move quickly. We both had the grinder special & I had it was drink & chips. Very reasonably priced! It was tasty but not quite hot enough. Friend said her temperature was lacking as well. We'll be back to try other yummy looking sandwiches!

    I haven't been here since the Hansens purchased it. I was so excited to go. The place was packed. Luckily, we found a place to sit. Our sandwiches were just as big as I remembered. My dining companion ordered the potato soup. He said it was really good. I can't wait to go back.

    Mouth Watering Reuben!

    If you are looking for a sandwich that has your choice of a variety of cheeses, breads, meats and additional tasty condiments this place would put you in a sandwich coma full of flavorful deliciousness. The Reuben is perfection. The Little Italy is smacking good and The Hoagie #4 will sashay through the tunnels of your tummy making you want more. Let's not forget the homemade desserts from the brownies to mouth watering cookies that are so tasty. The best part is -- that it is family owned with delightful customer service with a warm neighborhood vibe.

    New signage and Frida street art/mural. Tastes good, looks good: The Manhattan Deli has it all!

    The Manhattan Deli is a long-time institution in the Ingersoll Business District. Last remodeled in what feels like the late 1970s, the look, smells, hustling sandwich crew behind the old-school counter/cooler will leave you feeling like you've stepped into a Manhattan deli. Most of the sandwiches on the menu have their own names, as well they should - each has their own character making them stand out from other sandwich joints. Good soups, pasta salads, and baked desert items guarantee there is something for you. A couple of new additions well worth calling out are The Big Apple (served cold - turkey, bacon, cole slaw, Granny Smith apples, balsamic glaze, Buckwee's mustard, baby swiss, mayo) and the Grinder soup (think Italian sausage grinder sandwich in the form of a rich and hearty soup). Fantastic! Dining space has always been snug, but in today's dining climate, it is well worth considering calling in your order for a quick pick up at the register. They will have you out the door with your delicious meal in a New York minute!

    This is one of my favorite spots to eat. Affordable, delicious, and a quick meal if needed. The Friday special is my go to but I recently tried the Manmia Mia and I think I have a new fav! Get a warm Italian sandwich--they are the best.

    Quick, efficient and delicious. The only set back is parking, but that's most businesses on Ingersoll. This hidden gem is unassuming, yet soooo good. No need for fancy decor when you serve up mouth watering sandwiches. Each time I have visited this sandwich shop, I always leave full, happy and satisfied. The employees have a great workflow and work effectively to get your order done without delay. If you can't stay, they have a line for pick up orders. Good luck on making a decision on which one you will try.

    My co worker talked this place up. Here is my up front disclosure. I did not visit the location, so I can not say I was "here", but the kind coworker let us pick our meals and brought them back to us. I had no clue where to start, so I read the Yelp reviews The Tuesday Special seemed to be a hit. So even though it was Wed, I still ordered it for the extra cents. I knew I wouldn't have a problem getting it per the other reviews. The menu also lets you know you can get any daily special on any day of the week. Tuesday Special:Oven-roasted turkey, ham, Swiss cheese, mayo, parmesan cheese sauce, mayo, Manhattan seasoning on a hoagie bun. Cheese, cheese sauce... mouth was watering already! When I got mine, I opened it and took my normal Yelp picture.... a few moments later we discovered they had labeled the sandwich wrong and I had gotten my coworkers. She had already taken a bite of mine, but I didnt care, I was gonna fight her for my cheesiness. I got mine and slowly devoured the melted gooey cheese that took over. Good flavor and good sized sandwich. I didnt need any extra chips or anything. I am glad we were able to enjoy this sandwich. I did get a chance to steal a bite of her sandwich which was good. I stole a bite of someones brownie, which melted in my mouth. And all the other people who got sandwiches really enjoyed theres. Since I could never have eaten the whole thing I took home the leftover to my husband who had it the next day. He heated it up and had it. He liked it but he thought it would have been better fresh. Which I agree, it was good fresh. I would eat from there again.

    I hate to admit this... I've lived in the Des Moines IA metro since 1992 and this was my first…read morevisit to B&B Grocery. Pretty shameful on my part considering the shop was first opened by the Brooks family in 1922... I'm not a big fan of downtown, but B&B isn't quite as downtown as I thought. More Southside. The store is a definitely mom and pop. There's a small lot to park in just off of Hartford Ave and there is additional street parking available. You enter by the grocery area. There's a counter and register kind of to your Left as you walk in. You walk past the counter and you will see the sandwich and meat counter further to your left. For sandwiches you walk to the furthest end of the counter where the sandwich menu is hanging and place your order. When your food is ready they call it out by the items in the order. Payment is done at the counter and register back towards the front of the store. First off the food was great! No complaints. The selection is HUGE... Something like 74 sandwiches available to order and a nice selection of sides. I took my order to go, but there is limited seating available for dine in too. I ordered an extra large breaded pork tenderloin with onions, pickles, and mustard. An order of hot cheeseballs (comes with ranch). And a dad's killer sandwich (cold). My total came to just around $30. Cash preferred. 2.5% surcharge for using a card. The tenderloin reminded me of Chuckie's and that puts it in good company. A little thicker and on a proportional bun. Similar breading. The cheeseballs were fresh out of the fryer and the ranch is fantastic; made in house I assume. The meat and the vegetables on the deli sandwich were impressively fresh. The real star here to me was service! As I walked in one of the staff had two young girls by a board with some toys and jewelry on it. He was counting down as they studied the board. The girls were laughing as they were deciding on a choice. Some sort of giveaway game for kids they do when they have time I assume... I was greeted immediately as I walked up to order. There were three or so people waiting for their food. Placing an order was easy. I'd looked at the menu online and kind of already knew what I wanted, but it was still fun to look over the colorful boards and signage. They were busy working on their tasks but there was some cordial banter back and forth. The wait was short and there are plenty of things to keep you visually occupied here too. Everything was individually wrapped and taped up in butcher's paper. As I took my items all three gentlemen behind the sandwich and meat counter thanked me for coming in. When was the last time that happened to you at a big box store...? I'm not an introvert... I struck up a conversation with another customer and the woman at the register as I was paying. The other patron and I stood outside and talked for a bit. We were about the same age I think...he might have been a skosh older...mid-50s to early 60s. He was the one who told me how long the store had been open, the family name, and that he had been brought/coming here since he was three years old. Said his mom still calls it Brooks Grocery (v. B&B)... Not that I couldn't have found all that online, but I'm not one to shy away from a friendly visit of any kind. I mentioned to him that I found the customer service here to be a really refreshing thing. He said he thought the three gentlemen helping us had been there maybe 15 years or so. A handshake and thank you and we were both on our way. Can't say enough about my visit to B&B Grocery today! Friendly service and great food! Fair pricing. Don't make my same mistake... If you haven't been yet...find the time to stop by! http://bbgrocerymeatdeli.com/
