Great sandwich especially for the size and price. It's in the back of the liquor store but has quaint seating the back with the restaurant. I got the club but I could smell the hot sandwiches and it smelled good! Service was fine not super friendly but not mean or anything! Will be back! My sandwich, drink and chips was like $14.87 read more

Mr G's Deli - Mr. G's . Had a Reuben - Delis Near Me - Plano, Texas

Brought my dad her for lunch today and we split the Texas Reuben and a side of potato salad. The sandwich consisted of rye bread, pastrami, cheddar cheese and coleslaw. It was grilled and served hot. When the employee realized I was splitting the sandwich with my dad, she made sure they cut it in the back and it was served on separate platters which I really appreciated. The potato salad had a nice herby flavor to it and I would definitely get that again. Lunch time stays steady there and they have plenty of booths. read more

Great sandwich store. Many choices including Rueben's, clubhouse and t Chicken. It is on the side of the spec's liquor store read more

Was craving a good deli sandwich for lunch and Google brought this place up. What an unsuspecting spot for this deli shop, in the back of Specs Liquor store. One stop shop I guess....genius idea! They had both hot and cold sandwiches and also a seating area. I chose to get mine to go. Quick service, maybe because it was much later past lunch time. I ordered the Texas Chicken Reuben which was a hot sandwich. It was stacked with a good amount of meat, sauerkraut and pickled jalapeños along with this sauce or aioli spread. It was DELICIOUS! I was pleasantly surprised! I will be back to try other sandwiches from here for sure. Mr. G's you've won me over! read more

Best sandwich shop and great prices. The charm of it is great, wish it wasn't inside a liquor store

Good sandwich spot located inside of a Specs. Sandwiches are made to order so it can take some a slight wait to get your order if it's busy

Updating this review because I meant to give it 5 stars originally. Original review: Great sandwich and it's fun to eat it in a liquor store. Also they had GF bread which was a nice surprise. read more

I had a hot Italian. It was excellent!! Made to order, the place was clean and the service was great! Good job Mr. G's. read more

This place has really good made to order sandwiches. Highly recommend this. We just searched for food nearby and stumbled on it. Sure glad we did, delicious. read more

I heard about Mr. G's Deli when I used to work at DSC Communications (later became Alcatel and now John Paul II High School) on Coit Road. This was back in 1997. Never ate there until yesterday. Why did I wait so long? A few doors away is Dickies BBQ. I have never been a big fan, but was nearby and wanted to get some BBQ pulled pork brisket sandwiches. Little pricey for $12.99 each. I went to Mr. G's and ordered their version of BBQ pulled pork brisket sandwiches and we were very impressed. The sandwich had more brisket, more toppings (pickles) and was actually $3.00 cheaper. I just saved $9.00 by ordering something better (sorry Dickies, but my opinion) at Mr. G's. I will be back again to try their Philly Cheese Steaks, French Dips, Classic Italian, etc. We ate the sandwiches too fast to get photos. Lots of booths inside so you can eat there. read more

I have never had a bad sandwich at this establishment. The sandwiches have the taste of fresh ingredients and good quality. The customer and speed of service are tops. The prices are very reasonable. I have tried all the national sandwich shops and this is our go to local sandwich shop. read more

Mr G's sandwiches are all delicious. I've tried many over the years, not all, but have never been disappointed. It's "order at the counter," and the staff is good about letting you know when it's ready. There's no table service. It's inside and at the very back of a Spec's liquor store with only a few tables to eat at, so the ambiance isn't great. That said, the excellent food morenthan makes up for it. read more

Pastrami is good but a little salty. Chocolate chip cookies are the best I've ever eaten. Next time I will get roast beef on toasted bun or bread. read more

Best Reuben sandwich in dallas area! Many options are available! Very fair prices. Service is walkup but they bring your order to you. It's in a nice liquor store that is a fun ambience. read more

Everything was FANtastic.... Thoroughly enjoyed NYC style sandwiches. A must try for any and all foodies. Especially deli sandwich enthusiasts! read more

Super nice people! So fast to create a sandwich. Delicious loaded sandwiches. I asked for a bread substitution and they didn't blink an eye.

I love trying places off the beaten path and this did not disappoint! Fast, friendly service. Had the New England club (on special). It was excellent. Will definitely be back! read more

This is the best sandwich I have ever had. I got the Mr gs Ruben and it had fresh and crispy coleslaw that didn't gross me out, tough and juicy turkey that brung the whole thing out in large portions and the sauce that tied it all together. The inside was small and inside a liquor store and the employees gave us many napkins, were fast and friendly absolutely perfect would go again. read more

I ordered the Brooklyn Ruben, it gave me food poisoning. I have no intentions of ever going back to this restaurant.

I had the chicken Philly and my friend had the bbq bourbon sub and he loved it. I didn't think I would find this on yelp so I didn't take pics since it's inside of specs, but it's great! The sub was suppose to be spicy but it wasn't but it was well seasoned. It has carrots & celery which were odd but ended up being really good. His spud was very meaty & loaded. Definitely slept on and a hidden gem inside the liquor store. They were quick too. Just stumbled upon them being super hungry while shopping for liquor for Memorial Day. It was so good! Would definitely come back. read more

Love this little deli! I'm an east coast gal who was searching for a really good sub shop that made hoagies (Italian subs) like they make back east. I searched for 7 years and couldn't find one that even came close. Then I found this little gem! Omg, their Italian sub is on the money! Their club sandwich is fantastic, too! And the potato salad: to die for! Note: the deli is located inside the SPEC'S. Check them out. You won't be sorry read more

Amazing philly cheese steak. Their macaroni salad is flavorful too. Best sandwich and mac salad that I have had in decades.

Mr G's deli is one of those sandwich shops in the back of a liquor store that I miss from Southern California. Unfortunately they're very few delis that are as good as California delis, at least on the West Coast. Mr G's is extremely good at the sandwiches, their sides not so much but I'll give them five stars for the California dreamin' sandwich that they have. It's a little pricey but it is delicious! That is a go-to for me now. I look forward to trying the other sandwiches on their menu read more

Stopped in for the first time. It is literally situated in a liquor store. I asked what's the favorite for my hubby-- a MR G's something. I also ordered a chicken Caesar salad and a spinach veggie wrap. The salad was very nice sized and the wrap was huge. My DIL and I shared the salad and wrap. The Salas was enough for 3 people to share. I will be returning and trying something else from their menu. read more

FAST review: FOOD: I have been coming here for the last 10+ years. The food has declined in quality and attention to detail over the last few years. They are still a solid A++ on their Reuben, but I had a California Turkey and avocado recently, that came out on stale, toasted sourdough bread. I ended up picking out the turkey & avocado & eating only that. ATMOSPHERE: If you don't know, this deli shares space with the Spec's Liquor Store. Personally, that doesn't bother me at all, the original Spec's in Houston also had a Deli in it. SERVICE: This is a self-serve Deli, but the cashier was more focused on getting off work when I ordered 10 minutes to close. TIPS: Start with your tried and true sandwich order to start out, then explore the other great sandwiches offered here! read more

This will be one of my shortest reviews. If you think it's weird to have a deli in the back of a liquor store, it is. My first time, I came in the front door of Spec's & had to find my way to the back. They have a side entrance on 15th Street should you venture this way. Okay, the prices are decent. They have a really diverse, deli-style menu. The problem I have is that they load you up on this, heavy bread and go short on meat. On the subject of their meats, they appear to be of the super-thin cut variety one used to find in the grocery stores for about 50 cents a small package (Buddig, I believe, was the brand). The food comes out quickly, and there is some inside seating. Just beware - the liquor store patrons seem to find it necessary to walk all the way into the deli area to turn down each aisle, and they like to stink-eye the people eating lunch. I will compliment them on the french dip au jus. It made an average sandwich, short on meat, rather worth the visit. read more

Best deli sandwiches in DFW! This place has been here forever & the staff is always super nice too!

I miss old Mr. G's and if you been around these parts very long you probably do too. This place used to be the best liquor store and the best deli all under one big roof. You could go in and one of the staff who looked like he'd been a heavy drinker every day of the last two decades would tell you absolutely anything you wanted to know about a beer or wine from any country. Judge if you want but as for me I love an enthusiast with first hard knowledge. Now it's just Spec's. The building is the same but the beer selection is not anything like it once was. And the people who work there are just employees trying to earn a living while some fat cat who I can only presume is named Mr. Spec runs this and a dozen other of DFW's booze joints probably from a yacht. But if you're gonna go to one of these soulless big brand stores for your bulk Jack Daniel's and Captain Morgan's, this one is at least average and probably a little bit better. I don't feel dirty being in the store like I do in some of Plano's smaller shops and I'm not worried someone's going to reenact Falling Down here. It's friendly and safe and they have big bottles of stuff to mix with orange juice. Now as for the deli--first let me lament. There used to be a chalkboard behind that counter that went neatly floor to ceiling and I think had 80 or so sandwiches on it. It was a deli so good that Kanye would call up Mel Gibson and complain about what they're taking over. But not now. Now it's a little menu with twenty or so items and one of the nicest ladies you'll meet running it. Of what they got, I have to recommend the sweet peppered bacon that comes with turkey or a club or a BLT. It's thick like jerky but sweet like candy. And that alone makes it worth it. But they have Swiss and Cheddar and the usual stuff. It's not bad. It's just not a super deli anymore and I wish it was. The soda machine is stocked with a bunch of knock off but cane sugar beverages and I couldn't find one to like, personally but the ice tea was just fine. Or from the same counter you can get any of the world of alcoholism including some $20 four packs of stuff made by monks and that's probably the better way to go. read more

Love this deli. The menu is very nice with lots of options. The staff here are all so friendly and nice every time I have visited. I recommend the pastrami andd corned beef but honestly I don't think there is 1 bad thing on the menu. If you're looking for a deli sandwich who uses a real grill instead of "sandwich maker machine" then you will definitely love Mr Gs. read more

They do not want my business. How hard is it to just put the meat from the sandwich on a bowl or plate? This used to be a go to recommended restaurant of mine. But there are so many other options that will go above on service, food quality and flavor. read more

Fantastic sandwich! I had the Gigi's Rueben which was turkey, Swiss cheese, coleslaw, Russian dressing and toasted rye. I requested sauerkraut instead of coleslaw because I prefer it on a rueben. Wow, so damn good! Plenty of hot turkey, melted Swiss cheese, warm sauerkraut, tangy Russian dressing and delicious toasted rye bread with caraway seeds, all put together masterfully. Along with a nice assortment of chips and awesome fountain sodas, this place is very highly recommended. read more

Mr. G's Deli has streamlined their menus and have some nice, new menu boards, but beware, there has been some pruning of the prodigious sandwich menu, and anything that featured chili or hot dogs are victims (the Bob Sturm sandwich was one such example, which, of course, was the one I really wanted). My raison d'être for this visit was a meatball sub for my wife; she was in the hospital across the street recently but too under the weather to enjoy anything from here, so I promised something good. I also picked up a Cuban sandwich for myself, so this review will be mostly about that sandwich (although I did sneak a bite of hers). First up, if you're hoping for a pressed Cuban sandwich, it's not happening. However, authenticity starts to ramp up after that. The pickles, mustard (albeit a little light), Swiss cheese, ham and roast pork, they're all here. The bread itself, a baguette, is actually quite good as well. There's a good amount of meat, and it's quality stuff. The cheese has a good flavor, not like the near plastic of some places. Bottom line, a very nice sandwich. Next time, I'll consider bringing it home and doing my own press job on it; I've perfected that technique making them at home. As promised, a word about the meatball sub: Mentioned in my earlier review, the meatballs were outstanding; they're also huge and there are four of them, making a really big sandwich. If there was a shortcoming, it was a little light on marinara; consider asking for extra or a side container of it. I'm impressed with these selections, and continue to be a Mr. G's Deli fan. This place is definitely worth a try! read more

Quality at Mr G's deli has gone way downhill over the years. Used to get some top notch sandwiches for lunch there. Now what you get is huge amounts of bread, lean on meat and thrown together in a hurry. There is no love involved any more. Last visit I got the meatball sub, and it's a huge chunk of soggy hogie roll bread with 4 huge meatballs on it, with barely any marinara sauce and semi-melted cheese. The flavor was just meh, Subway quality. Honestly there was so little sauce I don't know how the bread got soggy. Maybe it depends on who is working on what day, not sure. But next time I'll be skipping this and going to Jimmy Johns or Jersey Mike's. read more

I used to come here all the time when I was little. The other day I went to buy a sandwich and they told me I had to be 21 to get a sandwich and chips. Never heard of that in my life. Don't waste your time or money here, clearly they don't want it. read more

Ordered here randomly and was not disappointed! Some of the absolute best sandwiches in Dallas!

Used to frequent the deli when I worked in the area. While my husband had extended hospitalizations, I went back and the food did not disappoint. Quality of food and customer service were on point. So many things on the menu but still love the Reuben & French Dip. You cannot go wrong with a cookie! Wish I lived closer! I'd eat here more often! Highly recommended! read more

Strange location, inside Specs, but good food and great service. Lots of choices from sandwiches to salads, feels like an old style deli.

This place has the best sandwiches in Texas. They have won many years in a row Best Sandwich in Dallas for a reason. The Mr.G turkey club (#21) sandwich is the best. They could have better things to drink. Update: I hadn't been here in a long time and it has changed completely. It was not busy at lunch time, first indication of something not so good. The chalk board is gone, the # for sandwiches gone, the great sandwich taste gone and sadly, me as a patron, gone too. My club sandwich was dry and lacked flavor, even with the mustard, YES!!! they put mustard. I have never had a Club sandwich with mustard and it was awful. The red peppers and gouda soup was very good, but the drinks still lacking. read more
