Is the retail store and " restaurant" separate ? Where do I go first? Once we got to the deli case, and got through being overwhelmed, we were able to order.. still be warned as a newbie, it is a daunting experience!!!Brides the yummy sandwiches ( honestly I was hoping for a more rustic bread than what was offered ) and salads there is an incredible selection of baked goods. My partner chose the classic brownie ( incredibly dark and rich) and I the double chocolate cupcake filled with mocha mouse( which I saved for home) the icing and mouse filling were amaaaazing but the cake itself seemed quite gritty, as though it was a " alternative," flour. In the end I was a tad disappointed in my $6.00 cupcake. All in all a decent experience and I'd probably go again, but $46 for Sammie's and dessert is a bit steep for my pocketbook.

So many goodies to browse while waiting for your order!

How helpful is that!!? All of the baked goods are made by Judy and her biscuits are heavenly!!! I got the lobster biscuit and they asked if I wanted cheese and I was confused but GET THE CHEESE it will help make the sandwich melt in your mouth. The lobster is cooked into the egg and the cheese helps bind it and make it a little more savory. They have a candy area and while it's not a penny candy station (inflation) it's still fun to fill up a little bag of tootsie rolls and Swedish fish!!! And did I mention the ice creams and frappes?!? I didn't take a picture of my frappe because one sip in and it was half gone - that's how delicious it is!!! Their ice creams and milks are al locally produced and they are all tasty galore!!!

A big group of us ordered a variety of sandwiches for takeout today. We all raved about our sandwiches (and one bowl). We tried the Brunswick, Waldoboro, Blue Hill, Iris (), and purpoodock club sandwiches and the Sebasco bowl. All ingredients were fresh and the bread was delicious. Sandwiches were generous portions and were each accompanied by a pickle! We also sampled a few pastries, blueberry and peanut-butter flavored. Yum!

I wasn't really in a huge hurry yet my two or three ingredient sandwich should've been out significantly faster than what I experienced. I'd probably give it three and three-quarter stars and yes, I would go back.

It's been almost 10 years since I reviewed Big Top Deli and I thought I would refresh so that…read morereaders know I still enjoy this Deli. There's a reason we keep coming back - the food and service. The ambiance is ok. Basic tables and chairs and some "circus" type of decorations on the wall. They have a pretty consistent menu that really hasn't changed, at least not that I have noticed. They have "signature" sandwiches or you can build your own. They have hot and cold deli sandwiches available. They also have wedge fries that are oven baked. Family favorites; Sonny's Supreme and the classic italian. I also also love their breakfast sandwich options. They have a cooler of beverages. My favorite is Fresca. A soda I never have at home and I soda I always buy when I can at a deli. Pairs perfectly. Don't sleep on the sweets for sale by the register. The cookies and whoopie pies are usally tasty. The staff seems consistent - hardworking, customer service oriented and nice to interact with. They keep the simple dining area as clean as they are able - during the lunch hours during the week - this place is always packed!!! Wow...it's great to see and hope this means this buiness will stay around for years to come. Parking - many parking options within .5 mile from the location.

They have a very large menu and after sifting through it a bit, I chose "The Big Top" which is a pastrami Reuben. I, personally love Reubens and was excited to try a variation that was the namesake. I was ultimately dissapointed that the sandwich wasn't served on Rye bread and was considerably smaller than the sandwiches my coworkers got. The sandwich itself was tasty but the juices from the sauce made the bread soggy by the time we made it back to the office (short drive). I'm not sure if I made a bad decision or if my review accurately reflects the quality - I won't be going back unless I'm sitting down to eat the sandwich right away and I won't be getting the "The Big Top" again.
