Believe the hype, this place is outrageously good. We were already excited to try and Hugo's did not disappoint. Walked in and were enthusiastically greeted. Ordering was quick, though with all the delicious options, it did take a long time to choose what to eat. I ended up trying the hot pastrami sandwich called the "Santana" and my friend ordered the Turkey, bacon and avocado sandwich. We splurged on fries. Lunch took about 10 minutes and in deli fashion, wrapped in butcher paper. I was smitten kitten after my first bite of the Santana; perfectly toasted marbled rye, creamy coleslaw that tasted freshly made (not too tangy, just a hint of pepper), slathered with thousand island dressing cradling a neat stack of perfectly trimmed hot pastrami. Every bite was downright perfection. Yes, I debated leaving half for later...but lost that internal debate. Fries were thick and battered, perfectly fried with a very nice fry sauce. Highly recommend getting the fries with any of the sandwiches. My friend's turkey sandwich looked crafted instead of made...with the shredded lettuce, crispy bacon, layers of turkey on the softest, hugest sandwich roll. She could stop at half but that sandwich was huge! Definitely worth every cent. I woke up the next morning wanting to go again that day...if that's not proof enough that this place is exceptional, I don't know what else is. read more

St. Patrick's Day should include a good Corned Beef sandwich, shouldn't it? Yes, it should! A Yelp search for corned beef had Hugo's near the top of the list -- after thinking about their fries, that was plenty reason to visit today. My Corned Beef Sandwich was everything that I wanted and needed: big, tasty, messy, and yummy. The Fries were delicious as well. And my wife had the French Dip Sandwich which was also delicious. read more

The best sandwich place! I had Hugo's on my wedding day 24 years ago and it's still my favorite go-to lunch. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, even near the end of the night! read more

When that next craving for a fresh sandwich hits, Hugo's Deli has exactly what ya need! From fresh breads & carved meats, all the way down to their very own, house made spicy ketchup, ranch, & fry sauce! But wait.. why does a sandwich shop need those? For their "Deli Fries" of course! What's that you ask? They are oversized, perfectly seasoned, potato sticks that are trying to pass as french fries In short, they are truly one of a kind & can only be found here. Go try them!! Your tastebuds will thank you! Happy Yelpin Yall read more

I found this place on Apple news article talking about the best sandwich places in every state. I tried Hugo's and the service was fast and friendly. The sandwiches were good but the best in the state I'm not sure. All and all I would definitely go back, end recommend giving him a try. I had the Hugo special, next time I try it heated up and toast it if they do that sort of thing. read more

I was in the hunt for sandwiches for an event I was planning for my dad over 4th of July after my first attempt hit a dead end with a disconnect phone call (I am out of state) I turned to Yelp after a few more calls I came across this little shop that was so informative on pricing servings and offered to call back with weekend schedule! This was Jordan then store manager Mason went out of his way to go in when the store was closed to make sure I got the best quality sandwiches! They did not disappoint my guests send many compliments! I highly recommend this sandwich shop for your next catering event read more

Sandwiches made well. Everything seemed clean and ingredients were fresh. Best scratch made fries!

Hugo's deli is always fresh and delicious. We love the salads, sandwiches and deli fries. The ranch dressing is amazing on salads and the fries. The staff is extremely friendly and the food is always promptly made. read more

Went here for my first time and it was awesome!!! The fries are so gooood and the sandwich was excellent as well. I will definitely be back!! read more

Bomb sandwiches, fair prices. I had a pastrami on marble rye, so good. Wife had the standard turkey and avocado, great. Deli fries are awesome. Never heard of them. Service was excellent and the people were friendly. I think this place just became my fav sandwich spot. Up with local, down with corporate. read more

Stopped here to grab something quick. I was greeted by a friendly, enthusiastic employee. I ordered my sandwich and asked about the "deli fries". He told me they were really good and gave me two as a sample. After trying them I knew I couldn't leave without buying some. They were amazing, as was the sandwich. Will definitely be back when in the area. read more

Hugo's is my favorite!!! They have the best sandwiches and their fires are awesome!!! The service is always perfect! Ambiance is what you would want from a sandwich place! Love it! read more

Sandwiches are great, but $4.49 for chips and drink are excessive! Get it to go and take it home.

Came here for a quick dinner the other night and this hit the spot! If you're in the mood for a sandwich this is the perfect choice. We got a Reuben sandwich (forgot to take a picture) and a Cobb salad which was delicious. Reasonable prices too read more

Nothing fancy, just a lunch counter type place with awesome fresh thick fries and massive selection of sandwiches.

This place is absolutely delicious, I took the family to this place and we had the special and the Hawaiian along with their French fries with their fry sauce and we all loved it!! This is the third time I've been here and every time it is excellent!! I highly recommend this if you want a delicious warm or cold sandwich and better sides than you can get anywhere else. The prices are also very reasonable! read more

Great sandwiches properly prepared and served. The pastrami, corned beef and turkey sandwiches are easily my favorites.

Been coming here for many years. Their deli fries are amazing and unlike anything else out there....like chicken fried mashed potatoes with a crunchy crust. Sandwiches have plenty of meat and are fresh tasting every time. Another consistent at this location is a middle aged woman who is rude and pushy. Last visit I almost walked out because of her attitude. If you don't like working there and dealing with the public...find another job lady. read more

Oh my goodness, I just had a half Ruben and bar none, it was the best I have ever eaten. I wish I had gotten a whole. Service was great.

Best Reuben we have had in a long time! The staff was friendly and efficient. We will definitely be back!

Nope, not the place for a French dip sandwich. The roll needs a hard exterior and no hot mustard made available. Still trying to find a decent French Dip not some totally misaligned thing that bears no resemblance to a French dip. There out to be a law against advertising a French dip unless it actually has the right ingredients - sort of like bubbly wine can only be called Champagne if it comes from that region of France or like mezcal can only be called Tequila if it is grown and processed in Tequila, Mexico. Truth in advertising is badly needed in this Idaho food marketplace. read more

Great sandwiches and their fries are amazing! Wish they had the Thanksgiving sandwich year around! But the Rubin's is amazing too!

Pretty long wait for a call ahead order; sandwiches were nothing special really. Rueben was the best we tried. The prime rib dip was ok; the sides ;"(macaroni and potatoes salad) both tasted like your standard bulk stuff and would be shocked if it was made there. read more

Raising my rating from 2-star to 3-stars. We came in and the entire staff was a bunch of young male kids ... probably 21 and under. They were a-OK. It seems like our order took longer than it should have - parties of equal size that came in after us got their order before us. But overall, this visit as OK; getting better! read more

So my husband has this thing. No one can order the same thing at a restaurant. Weird I know but it's just a thing we do. We walked into Hugo's today and he ordered MY sandwich. The Santana. That's what I get for letting him order first. So I had to get Santana's sister: The Rachael. I mean ok, they are pretty similar but they are not. BUT come on, the Santana is grilled. That instantly moves it up a notch in my book. Hello...grilled marbled rye bread. Ok, so which sandwich are we talking about here??? Both I think. I'm confused too. The Rachael is corned beef, Swiss, coleslaw and mayo- served cold. The Santana is hot pastrami, provolone, thousand island, coleslaw and grilled. Yeah. Insert sigh for both. Maybe they will grill the Rachael for me. Hmmm...that could be a game changer. So go get one...or get both...and then let me know which one you prefer. And try their cheesecake. It's also fabulous. read more

Turkey, bacon, avocado on sour dough bread. Heat for 20 seconds if desired. Best sandwich I have ever ate. Along with their fat fries. We have been eating their sandwiches for years. read more

Well, Hugo's location is not optimal, it IS fairly reachable. Parking is probably the worst attribute of this dining establishment. However, once you're inside you definitely get the feel that it is a cozy little sandwich shop. The staff are always polite and speedy on the order. Food is always fresh and has great flavor. I have had the meatball sandwich most recently, but I usually get the pastrami Reuben and it's really tasty. Griddle grilled and fresh sliced meats with a tangy sauce and some nice sauerkraut. All the flavors blend well together. Their fries are very unique and I think this is their signature. It appears they mash potatoes and season them, then form them into the shape of a fry rolling them in some type of seasoning and cornstarch and then deep-fried l. Really tasty with nice texture, unless you'd like real super crispy snappy fries. I prefer the softer inside, there's just something about it that's different and tasty. When you first go in you, walk up to the counter and select from the overhead menu boards. You pay and get your beverage cup to self serve behind you at the soda dispenser. They don't have root beer but most of the other flavors. They offer iced tea and lemonade as well nearby. Here you grab your napkins but don't forget to ask for condiments while you're at the counter. I believe this is a food Cost cutting procedure recently introduced to avoid waste. They'll ask for your name and then bring the food out when it's ready. The portions are pretty big so go hungry. I don't believe I've ever carried leftovers away. I've not had a bad experience here yet. I can't give it a five star because the decor could be improved, and the seating area could be a little more exciting. I believe some nice background music would also help this establishment, just a note for the owner. That's all for now but follow me as I dine my way through Treasure Valley and beyond! read more

Fast service, just underwhelming. This is honestly the first time I have NOT said, "Mmmm..." after the first bite of a Ruben. In a good Ruben, you can taste each component individually, and then they combine to create at heavenly taste. In a blind taste test, I doubt I could have identified this as a Ruben. Contents as follows: Hot Corned Beef - unremarkable and indistinguishable flavor Swiss Cheese - present, slightly detectable Marble rye - wondered if it was actually marbled white bread for a moment until tasted alone Sauerkraut - checked to make sure it wasn't actually microwaved lettuce it was so NOT sauer Pickles -actually decent and individually detectable! Mustard - had to look because you couldn't taste it at all Thousand Island Dressings - not on mine! Would I go back, maybe I'd give them another try of a different sandwich, but never a Ruben again, they just aren't done well at Hugo's. read more

My husband and I split the Italian sandwich and it was delicious! Staff is friendly and there are side items to choose , including dessert. Yum! read more

Absolutely favorite sandwich shop. The fries are heavenly, the bread selection is sublime, and the staff is absolutely incredible.
