One of my favorite local spots! The staff is always super friendly, and the food comes out fast. They now serve Lucky Goat Coffee, which is a nice bonus! The parking downtown can be tricky, but it's worth it read more

Metro Deli is one of my favorite lunch spots in downtown Tallahassee. I love their sandwiches, wraps, and salads. My usual favorites are the Cuban sandwich and the Hot Pastrami on Rye. Today I tried the Italian hoagie without mayo. It was good, but I still prefer the Cuban and Hot Pastrami on Rye. The service is always good, and the delivery is fast. No pictures this time because I ate it before I remembered to take one! read more

The Met wasn't busy on the Thursday morning. We were seated in a booth where our server promptly brought us water and coffee. I ordered 2 egg, home fries, sausage and 2 flap jacks. My buddy ordered 2 scrambled with hash browns, bacon and rye toast. Our plates were delivered. We had to ask for butter and pancake syrup. Eggs were cooked properly. My home fries were cold. Pancake was good - sausage was warm. Server was attentive. Overall the meal was average. read more

LOVE this deli!!!! The Cuban is perfectly cooked and seasoned. The portions are big and they have a great menu. There's not really parking here but there is parking nearby and it's an easy walk. We love the staff there, they are so accommodating to any requests too read more

Great sandwiches! We got the base and the Reuben! Sandwiches are pretty filling, but there's multiple sides to choose from. It seems like you can't really go wrong with any of the sandwich options. Or just make your own! read more

Metro Deli - Delis Near Me - Tallahassee, Florida

This is a local legendary food establishment in Tallahassee. It's one of those places that should be featured on DDD if it hasn't already. There was a line this past Monday when I went to lunch around noon, but it moved quickly. I tried the meatball sub this time and it was really good and filling. It is small inside so there's not a ton of seating and what seating there is is community style. There are also a couple of tables out front. I think the last time I dined here was a few years ago and I had "The Baze." I need a refresher on that sandwich because I'm not quite sure I recall whether I enjoyed it or not. read more

I was excited to finally try Metro deli. In the middle of downtown Tallahassee. It's a small but well run place. I ordered the Reuben with extra sauerkraut and dressing. And a scoop of chicken salad. The scoop of chicken salad was more like a small container of it, about a half pound size and it's tasty. I like mine with more mayonnaise, but the flavor is good. The Reuben was delicious. extra sauerkraut and sauce was on the sandwich without it being a drippy mess. I look forward to coming back to Metro deli to try the other sandwiches. I will say that they get quite a crowd around lunchtime, but I think that they move pretty fast making everything. read more

Started trying out the wraps lately. They have been pretty good, and sizeable. Service was solid as usual also. The only issue i have had was the Miss Vickies Chips being replaced with a different brand of chips they aren't that good. Overall good wraps to try out. read more

This place was exactly what I wasn't looking for. Right style of sandwich and deli. If you're in Tallahassee you have to go!

I got the Italian on a gluten-free bun and made an Arnold Palmer at the drink station. The sandwich was delicious and toasted just right! The staff was friendly, prompt, and there was enough of them to take care of the lunch crowd without getting backed up. This is a great find in central Tallahassee! read more

I absolutely LOVE Metro Deli! It is the number one place in Tallahassee I take family and friends for lunch when they come to town. The staff is very friendly and the environment is classic deli, which is unbeatable in my eyes. I always build my own sandwich and it never fails to taste great. I recommend the toasted rye bread, it's amazing! read more

The sandwiches and service here were awesome! Very busy place during lunch, but they got you in and out. Reasonable prices and very close to the capital in the downtown area. read more

Let me first say, I ordered the Italian hoagie and it was good. The bread was soft and there was plenty of meat. That's the only reason they are getting 2 stars. Now for the bad, the service. I walked in and stood at the counter where there was an "Order Here" sign. There were two men behind the counter making sandwiches. I was the only one standing there. No acknowledgment. I figured I was standing in the wrong place, so I went to the register where I was told I needed to go back to the glass counter and order. At that time, one of the guys behind the counter looked at me and said "I got you." So I go back over and place my order - Italian hoagie with no tomatoes. I go back to the register and paid and then I took a seat right next to the counter. After 4 people came after me and was served, I went up to another person, who was putting the orders together to inform him that I didn't get my order. He asked what did I order, I told him and he then yells to the guys if they had my order - they didn't. They ended up making my order right there. I was handed my sub. No apology, no customer service. The restaurant was not busy, as I had entered after the lunch rush so there was no excuse for the delay in my order. I will not be returning. read more

I have wanted to try Metro Diner for years and actually have tried 3 other times but they were closed when I got there. Today, that changed. I had no idea what to expect but didn't see a menu when I came in. I informed those behind the counter that I'd never been there before and was not doted on even though they were not busy. However, the young man behind the counter said their chicken salad sub was very popular so I ordered it and proceeded down to pay. Again, the man taking money was a bit curt when I asked if they had chips or anything. (I didn't see them). He took the money and pointed towards the drink machine. Soon, my sandwich arrived. It came with lettuce, tomato, red onion. I didn't want the banana peppers on it. The taste of the chicken salad was probably the best I've ever had! I ate the entire sandwich which is very unusual for me. Their own line of chips were very crunchy and flavorful. The coke was a good mix. Despite not being as welcomed as I had hoped, that's in me. The food was solid and I will return! read more

I was in the mood for a sandwich and sought out the Metro Deli due to the good reviews (thank you, fellow yelpers). Walking into the place, I was welcomed by one of the counter people and noticed that one of the soups was chicken artichoke. This definitely caught my attention and mentally I added that to my order. For my sandwich, I opted for the hot pastrami and corned beef with swiss cheese. I opted to get my food to go as I had noticed a pleasant park and it was a great day for dining outdoors, so I chose a bench and tore into my lunch. The soup was very good. It would have been great if it has a touch more salt. The sandwich was substantial, although it could have used a bit more cheese. As for it being hot, not so much and instead of being steamed, I suspect it was thrown in a microwave. This is not a great place, but a good place and the price is a bit high. read more

Old town charm downtown Tallahassee. Authentic deli with great sandwich choices. Authentic FSU memorabilia decorating.

Good Cuban for being outside of Tampa or Miami! All the food around me looked really good too.

They might be a bit pricey but they are online with other places downtown. The staff is so nice and always polite. The food is really good, my go to is a Reuben, sooo good. The inside is quirky and definitely gives deli read more

Staying at the Doubletree downtown and the Metro Deli is on the corner of the building. Ordered the daily special. A grilled smokehouse w bacon and peppers sandwich, tomato bisque soup, drink, and chips. Very decent pricing for a lot of food. It was very good. Very good packaging as well. Lots of friendly staff. Fast service despite a lot of people ordering and picking up food. read more

Sometimes you need a really good sandwich and that's just what you'll find at Metro Deli. Pair that with some salt and vinegar chips and a refillable iced tea, you have one happy chick! The menu is a sandwich lovers dream. This particular day, my eye landed on the pastrami grinder and there was no looking back! Ample pastrami pressed on a soft hoagie bun with mustard and cheese. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. It's a big sandwich and I was full after just half, but couldn't resist devouring it all. The spot is very no frills. Walk in and you're greeted by the guys making the sandwiches. Order from them, pay a little further down, and grab a seat or take it to go. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in Tally and would recommend it for a simple, yet delicious deli lunch! read more

End up eating here quite a bit due to the location to work. Overall, food is fresh and pretty good. Lost one star for the inconsistency of the food, sometimes the salads are hit or miss. Their homemade salad dressings are really good and I think they have some of the best potato salad I've ever eaten. Lunch can get busy so plan accordingly. read more

This is a dissapoontment. I arrived at 11:20am and it was not open. The fans inside were functioning but all the chairs were on top of the tables. I checked their website and no indication of being closed due to covid. I drove 20 minutes for nothing :( I'll come again but I will call. :) read more

A little piece of New York in downtown Tallahassee. This place is a gem. Everything I tried was great. The Greek salad dressing was the star of the Greek salad. For the first time in my life, I wished there was more green salad. I also tried the Cubano sandwich. Their version was good. The meat was a little dry but still really good. Get a cookie it is worth it. There is virtually no wait time from when you order to when they wrap it up for you. It is a well-oiled machine. I will make this my spot whenever in town. Seating is not as limited as you would think. read more

Great sandwiches with an old world ambiance that I have experienced in Italy. This place reminds me of the Mom and Pop Deli of NYC as well and we always enjoy coming here and will return soon. read more

So one of my sorority sisters and I decided to grab lunch downtown and I can't believe I've waited so long to come here! We walked in at 11:30 and missed the 12pm rush, the line was out the door when we left. I was pleased with the price and service. I got the meatball parmesan sub with bbq chips, a chocolate cookie and a drink. I also took a nibble of my sisters cookie as well. The cookies were amazing, very rich. My sub was tasty I thought I would eat half but ended up eating the whole thing right there and then. You can tell Metro Deli appreciates your business and I love supporting local businesses. I absolutely will be back and recommend. read more

I loved this place. I was working within walking distance for a few days and stumbled across it when I went hunting for food. The staff is great; fast, friendly, friendly, enjoyable, etc..., and the food was great! Everything that I tried was delicious! I never had to wait for more than 5-8 minutes for my food, even when the restaurant was full during a lunch rush. If you haven't tried this place already, you have to give it a shot. I love supporting local food and these guys just make it easy. P.S. I tried the Cuban and the Reuben and they were both A+, on point, and absolutely delicious. read more

Thank God for this reliable downtown staple. I once had a co-worker trained to offer to buy me a cookie every time he ordered from Metro Deli. Since he left the office, I've been left to forage for chocolate on my own. I don't have a standard order here, but have never left disappointed. Today, I had the "Baze" specialty sandwich delivered to my office. Banana peppers and red onion liven up what would otherwise be just another sweet dijon chicken salad sandwich. It was served with a pickle spear blatantly cut by a human being and not heavy machinery. A+. Today could be a particularly long day, so in addition to the kettle-style hickory barbecue chips, I ordered a side of potato salad. It's a smoother, noticeably mayonnaisey potato salad sprinkled with sweet relish bits. I topped it with a quick grind of pepper for a bit of contrast. I'd always prefer to walk through our downtown, talk to the staff at the counter, and sit in the busy restaurant (which starkly differs from the interior of my office). But when you have to order delivery online, you can specify in the notes that you'd prefer the barbecue flavored chips or the white chocolate macadamia nut cookie if they have it available. read more

Let's face it; the downtown deli shouldn't be as good as it is. Luckily for us, Metro Deli brings their A game every day. You either get it or you don't. Tattooed sandwich creators strut behind the counter pumping out grinders, melts and sandwiches like an assembly line to Tallahassee's white collar crowd. Yesterday's delicacy - THE Pastrami Grinder. Meaty pastrami, pickles, Swiss cheese and mustard all pressed on a toasted hoagie roll. I was utterly speechless. The juiciness coming from the meat makes my mouth water as I type. I worked downtown a few summers back, which was when I discovered this no nonsense deli. I do not frequent Metro as much as I should. The hot sandwiches are their specialty, but they'll craft a gigantic salad or a breakfast treat if you desire. I'm sure most will award Metro four stars. Some might not understand the greatness that lies beneath. For $8 and a 6 minute wait, what's not to rave about? Metro Deli is a tucked away Tallahassee treasure. read more

I moved to FL during the pandemic and was devastated to find my favorite deli back home had closed permanently. It was a special place and I didn't think I could find another like it, but luckily Metro Deli is a dead ringer for my old favorite. Not only are the sandwiches really, *really* good, but the staff is also very friendly and helpful. I am a broke grad student so I can hardly afford to buy myself a sandwich for lunch and try to share my appreciation for such great food and hardworking staff by leaving nice reviews, but I encourage everyone to try Metro Deli and to show the staff some well-deserved love if you love the food, too! read more

Love this place! Go there every time we are in the area! The service is always wonderful. Tallahassee classic.

I stopped in here on a whim while walking by. It has a dive bar feel to it on the inside and they play some great classic rock. The place is well staffed, and they are polite and quick. Prices were decent for today's standards. I had the "Baze" chicken salad sandwich and it was on point! Delicious sandwich, and good serving size. The food is fresh and made to order. This place is definitely worth a stop if you are looking for quick and delicious bite to eat. read more
