Stopped in to pick up lunch for a couple of co-workers. Orderd a few sandwiches. They were very good. Also got a pint of chicken salad. It was very disapointing .. VERY SALTY, it was basicially chicken with ALOT of mayo, a lot of salt and some celery. Won't get that again. Tried the baklava. $5.00 each. It was Awful. It was super soggy, like it's been sitting there for a few days. And to boot we got charged for 2 but only had one. Our fault for not looking at the receipt . Lastly, a blondie (?) . Undercooked. Would not bother with any desserts again. We might be back for a sandwich, but overall disapointed because of the quality of the other items and getting over charged. read more

As we are all well aware of the rising cost for everything, I have to say I am completely disgusted that this pathetic roast beef sandwich cost $12.99 with an addition $.25 charge that I can only assume was for cheese. All set with this place, they can keep their sandwiches. read more

Max Bibo's - Roast beef sandwich - Delis Near Me - Wethersfield, Connecticut

New owners are awesome they know exactly what they are doing. Sandwiches are much better and ingredients are as fresh as can be!! They also do a fantastic breakfast, if you like coffee this is the best in the area and it isn't even close. read more

Always great. Always fresh. Always fast. This time around I had the portobello mushroom spinach wrap. The mushroom was warmed and it was so soft and fresh. They add pesto. I usually have tuna here but wanted to try something new. This is a great place to stop and get a quick lunch. Anytime there is Max, I try to go! It's local and great prices. read more

Max Bibo's - Portobello wrap - Delis Near Me - Wethersfield, Connecticut

Excellent lunch, service was fantastic and the staff was pleasant and friendly. Definitely recommend

Best chicken salad sandwich I've ever had! Came with a side pickle and came together beautifully. Great service and hospitality, will definitely be back for lunch time often read more

Stopped in for some lunch, really craving a salad. Ended up getting a garden salad (holy moly the ranch dressing was AMAZING... apparently it's homemade?!) and got a sandwich that was a special- pulled pork. The little pasta salad cup that came with the sandwich looked like I could take it or leave it but man was I glad I tried it. Little hidden surprises between the ranch and the pasta salad cup. A sandwich and side salad plus a drink was $16. I'd return. read more

Wether you're coming in for a quick bite during your lunch break or catching up with friends for dinner, Max Bibos specifically the Wethersfield location has it all! Every time I have went the food was hot and delicious and served fast. (Their home fries are some of the best I've ever had!!) I never left disappointed. The atmosphere is perfect in relation to the food served, what's offered on the menu, and knowledgable and helpful staff topped it all off perfectly. Highly recommend! read more

I've been a fan of Max Bibo's for years. And now with the new owners, John and Aldi, it's even better. Great deli sandwiches and breakfast sandwiches have been my favorites, and now they serve full breakfast (omelets, pancakes, etc.) and will start serving wine and beer soon. If you've never been there, give them a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

I go there to get the delicious chicken salad and bean salad that is displayed in the deli case, made fresh and delicious flavor. I purchased a Charcuterie board fora dinner party we went to, and it was absolutely beautiful. Had the best cuts of meat, fruits, nuts, balsamic glaze. It was a huge hit and extremely reasonably priced. The staff there are always pleasant and happy to see people walking through their doors to be taken care of. Kerry and her team ROCK!!! read more

Today I had a gluten-free sandwich from this restaurant and it was by far the worst sandwich I have ever had. The bread was spongy and repulsive and I don't understand how any restaurant would be ok serving it. There was nearly no meat on the sandwich as well and for the price I paid this is a joke. I will never be back and I don't recommend this restaurant to anyone. read more

I have been coming to get lunch sandwiches for many years here. Trying to support a local business during COVID-19. However, I am appalled the price increase that just went into effect. They went up $1.50 on sandwiches. A chicken salad sandwich is now $10. Unfortunately now I will have to go to another deli that charges about the same price but at least includes a side. Very disappointed. read more

Since moving to the area a few months ago my husband and I passed Max Bibo's numerous times always saying we'd go. Today was the day we committed and I'm glad we did. There aren't many good delis in the area but Max Bibo's makes up for it. I had the Duke Federico's sandwich and lobster and crab bisque and my husband had a chicken cutlet sandwich and it was all delicious. I'm not the biggest fan of their pickles but I'm not going to let that change my overall star rating. We will come again!!! read more

Max Bibo's - Delis Near Me - Wethersfield, Connecticut

$17.00+ for a tuna melt and small bag of chips? Are you kidding me??? They make good food, but this is highway robbery. I'm understanding of the economy we live in currently, but how much could this cost them to make? read more

I came here once on my birthday for lunch, so yeah, I like Max Bibos. They're the best deli around. There are many sandwich toppings, different meats and breads. The staff is friendly and the food is good. The vibe is relaxed. I can sit down and take a load off and peek out the window at the Silas Dean highway as cars zoom by. Its a way to take a load off, eat good food and mellow out. 4.7 stars read more

Max Bibo's is not a great recommendation. Stay home, make yourself a delicious sandwich with the toppings on it that you want, and save your entire paycheck. Max is overpriced, and for a frozen chicken cutlet, I'd skip. My chicken noodle soup was lukewarm and I didn't want to go back up because the line was too long at the height of lunch rush. When I ordered, the staff behind the counter quickly took my order and didn't put extra olives as asked, and put half a piece of frozen cutlet(wasn't frozen, just seemed like it came in a package frozen) in my wrap, and then there wasn't even an option to get it toasted. I have been here before, each time trying something new, each time I cry at the notion that I may never find a home at Max Bibo's for a delicious sandwich that I truly crave. I mean, if the sandwiches were overflowing, dripping juices and toppings and I needed to spread napkins on every ounce of my body to keep my work clothes from getting dirty, then heck yes I'd be back and be willing to happily hand them all that money. But alas no, I may try again, try something different altogether again, or... I try The Cove down the street which I hear is a hopping sandwich discoteca! read more

Been here about 4-5 times and have had a pretty good sandwich each time. Most notably, the Mona Lisa was delicious and their hot pastrami was just as good as some NY spots I've been to. In addition to their specialty sandwiches, they also have soups, salads, and other hot food available to go. The dining room is fairly large; all self served though (FYI). I'd definitely recommend this place for lunch if you're in the area. read more

Max Bibo's - hot pastrami - Delis Near Me - Wethersfield, Connecticut

This place is OK. It was REALLY cold inside, and VERY LOUD!! I had the 'special' chicken cutlet, cheddar, bacon LT with ranch dressing on multigrain bread. The special was advertised with a 'side salad' for $7.99. My salad consisted of 1/2 and artichoke heart and 2 bites of carrot with a very recognizable bottled dressing. The chicken was as dry as a bone, and tasteless! We also had liverwurst with horseradish sauce, brown mustard L and O. Having worked in a deli, and made quite a few sandwiches, Liverwurst is not something you "load up" on. There was easily 1/2 a pound of meat.... if it was roast beef... yes, sure... liverwurst.. not so much. So for the 2 sandwiches and 2 bottles of water it was $21.00! Don't think we'll try it again! read more

When I go to the same place often, I usually try to sample everything on the menu. Business takes me to the street where Max Bibo's is located. For someone who likes nonmeat alternatives (I save my meat cravings for the Carnegie Deli and Korean barbecue), I have found my Eureka moments at Max Bibo's Deli. The grilled vegetable sandwich is the best I have had anywhere. With balsamic vinegar added, it is a great combination of vegetables that bursts with flavor. The breaded eggplant with provolone cheese sandwich is heaven on earth. I have tried the hot pastrami and it is quite good for a deli in Connecticut. But the two sandwiches I have described above are the real reason for frequenting Max Bibo's often. read more

After reading Matt H's review I was skeptical, but went and found it to be opposite of his review... The place is clean and employees great. I ordered a Tuna salad, not hard to mess up.. But it was good, not swamped with mayo. Interesting, Matt states this place ruined his Sunday... they are closed on Sunday, so perhaps Matt is a competitor down the street? I hate fake posts... Regardless, try it, this is a nice family owned business that makes all their own food. It's not cheap though... read more

Great sandwiches pretty expensive but they're worth it. Please next time give me napkins that's the least I can get for a nine dollar sandwich. read more

Very good place with great atmosphere and great food. However, I went there today and noticed that the owner/manager had a cap on that was full of animal hair(cat or dog) and her uniform shirt had lots of hair stuck on it also. This is a big no no in the food industry. I would recommend to this manager to ensure that this never happens again and to also inspect her employees garments for this also... Outside of this, I must say that the food, service and general cleanliness of the place is very good. read more

I went here for the first time and felt strongly about writing a review ! The food was tasty, but my lobster bisque had NO meat in it, the proportions weren't the best, and VERY overpriced!!! I wouldn't go hear again. read more

Sandwiches, soups, deli offerings, and deserts - this place really has it all. It's cute inside, plenty of room to sit and eat. It's also immaculate inside- truly spotless. We were both very happy with our lunches. They're not offering anything out of the ordinary, but they're very good at what they do. You won't be disappointed! read more

Max Bibo's - Two lunches -about $20! - Delis Near Me - Wethersfield, Connecticut

I've eaten in and also ordered catering from Max Bibo's and I'm never disappointed. Their sandwiches are always made fresh with a ton of meat so although their prices are a little high, you are definitely getting a good serving size. This is also a huge place so there's plenty of seating and the decor makes you feel as if you're in someone's home :) I sat and enjoyed my sandwich in a cute little wicker chair by the window in the sun next to some flowers. read more

Max Bibo's - Delis Near Me - Wethersfield, Connecticut

Can't believe no one has reviewed this place yet. I think it's a staple for a lot of people grabbing lunch in the area. The deli offers a lot of variety. The prices are little on the high side for a deli. The thing I like best is the large space and the atmosphere. Fresh flowers are usually on the tables and the paint on the walls is very calming. read more

I adore the "Lorenzo's Indiscretion" sandwich. BUT. this place is never open when I want it to be, and they do not have their hours posted anywhere--on the store windows, or on their website. I've gone there 3-4 different times and it was closed. It's a simple thing that I really wish they would take care of because it's terribly annoying to have to guess when they are open. read more

Went here for the first time this morning since working here in high school about 10 or 11 years ago! Got a bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel and although it was slightly pricy ($5.31 including tax), it was well worth it. You can't really get a sandwich at DD for less than $5 and I'd rather pay a little more for real eggs, crispy bacon, and real cheese. This place serves up some delicious sandwiches, salads, and baked goods and I will definitely return. Support local! read more

This place is over priced and disgusting. I have given this place three tries and each time it gets worse and worse. How are you going to charge $7 for Arnold's bread and store bought lunch meat. Skip this place and save you money. read more

Delicious. Super friendly staff. Priced are a bit high but makes for a nice treat. Will be back.

Great lunch spot. All the food is very good. Their chicken salad is delicious and so is the chicken cutlet. Prices are reasonable. Staff is super friendly. Comfortable clean sitting area. read more

I've lived outside of Hartford for 10 years and just recently found this deli south of Hartford. I should get out more often. Max Bibo is very solid with lots of choices from salads to soups, hot entrees to specialty sandwiches. Added bonus is that the place is pretty big and can accommodate a busy lunch crowd. People seemed very friendly, like they had been there for years. Would definitely recommend for a casual business lunch. read more

Legitimate lunch spot that gets the job done. Good selection of sandwiches, salad, and sweets.

Food is ok... The help behind the counter needs some serious attention.. The deli people are very nice the cashier needs an attitude adjustment I have been in several times and she is always the same. read more

visiting family in town i saw the reviews and let me say awful i had awful services my food was wrong i ordered twice and still wrong so disappointed not too mention on the phone i had to repeat myself more than one time i was treated awful and got awful food i'd rather chose to eat at arby's than this establishment ever again read more

I live less than 5 minutes from this place and finally got here after 5 years...Basically because Max Bibo's is a place for your weekday, business lunch crowd and I do not work where I live (unfortunately). Very limited hours around dinner and weekends from what I can tell. Showed up close to 1PM on a Thursday and the place was hopping! Parking lot was fuller than I have ever seen it and the seating area was full of folks. Always wondered how this place stayed in business when it was never open and now I know. This is your standard deli...a little upscale perhaps. You will make your way to the back of the store and try to figure out where you should stand in the mob of folks who are congregating around the deli counters for ordering. If I had one knock on this place, it would be to put a sign or 2 up to organize your lunch crowd better. Can be frustrating when you're waiting 10-15 minutes to place an order and someone walks up and somehow is attended to immediately...I guess my tip would be to be aggressively polite in getting your order in. After that, the place is great. You're coming here for deli sandwiches and they don't disappoint. Quality deli meats and cheeses (Boar's Head!) and fresh produce and breads. You can make the sandwich however you would like or they have some pre-determined options with fun names (ex. The 'Mona Lisa Smile'). They pile on the meats and cheeses and serve it up with a fresh dill pickle slice. You won't go home hungry. Deli cases also showcase salads and other catering focused options if you are hosting a party. Most selections are Italian focused. Place itself is very bright and clean. This isn't going to be a fine dining experience, but pleasant and appropriate for a mid-day sandwich and to get out of the office. Definitely a recommend. But, judging by the lunch crowds, they don't need my endorsement to do very well for themselves. read more

This isn't the best place to get sandwiches anywhere in Hartford County. This is the best place to get sandwiches in Connecticut. It might possibly be the best place to get sandwiches in the Northeast. Whenever I am in town and make sure to go by this place to get either their tuna fish sandwich or one of their specialty roast beef sandwiches or turkey sandwiches loaded with toppings with a terrific horseradish mustard on top. The parking isn't great but otherwise there's no reason not to go to Max bibos if you are interested in a great lunch made fresh. read more

Max Bibo's is one block from my house, and one mile from work, so I would say I stop in once a week- for lunch, coffee, breakfast, etc. In the summer I enjoy walking down to get sandwiches or a snack. I usually go for their veggie roll up/wrap, or a salad and soup. I had the corn chowder on Monday and it was very tasty! They also have an excellent breakfast special which includes a bagel and coffee for I THINK around $2.50... haven't gotten in a while but I remember being amazed at how cheap it was. I really like how fresh everything is, with all the prepared salads rotating daily and different soups often. The only thing I get confused about is the ordering system... never really sure who I should be ordering from! But everyone is very friendly so it all works out. read more

Wow this place is huge and so clean inside. I have not been in here in years but I am glad I went back for a sandwich. The staff is so friendly and will make you anything you ask for. All of the non homemade products are high quality Boars head as well. Over $8.50 for a sandwich but they are huge and come with a Boars head pickle. read more

Max Bibo's - One of the specials changed up a little. Excellent sandwiches! - Delis Near Me - Wethersfield, Connecticut

Has to be some of THE BEST sandwiches you'll find anywhere. It's always fresh, meat and bread, and the serving size is huge. The only critique I can give is that I wish they had more "special" sandwiches on a daily basis. Like a buffalo chicken style, something with avoocados, or something like that. read more
