    Front counter.

    Arrived on a Sunday for some lunch. It wasn't busy but it wasn't dead either. Store is located in a shared building and easy to locate. I parked across the street behind buildings as the parking up front was full. The sandwiches were amazing! I ordered three sandwiches (make it extra, cheesesteak, and Italian). All were excellent and their sourdough bread was great. They also had clearly Canadian sodas that are so hard to find and they also had cherry yuzu. Have to say this was a great surprise and great meal. Definitely will be back.

    Excellent Reuben

    Nice little family owned deli in the heart of the old town Auburn area. Everyone was super friendly when we walked in. Order at the counter, and then grab one of the small tables (think there were 3 inside and 1 outside) or sit at the window counter to watch the goings on outside. Our Reuben sandwich was very good. Nice thinly sliced corned beef, sauerkraut, and thousand island dressing on a grilled marble rye. Just the way they should be made.... We added a freshly made macaroni salad to finish off our lunch. It was all very good.

    Real Italian

    I have never eaten here before today. My company catered lunch and we got to select what we wanted. I got the real Italian on gluten free bread and the bread was great! Not the crumbly Udi's bread. All the ingredients were fresh and exactly how I ordered it. I also asked for extra pickles so I got extra on my sandwich and an extra container of them! A restaurant after my own heart! I also ordered the cucumber salad and it was great, too. Thank you!

    If you're heading eastbound towards Reno or westbound towards Sacramento on I-80, I highly recommend this excellent family-owned and operated sandwich spot. This is none other than "North Fork Deli". Located in the heart of downtown Auburn, this place has been serving up "deli"cious sandwiches, salads, smoothies, and much more dating back to 2018. And since it has that small community feel, the entire staff truly goes above and beyond with each and every customer. As I mentioned, they are located in downtown Auburn on Lincoln Way and just a block from High St (Highway 49). There is no dedicated parking lot but on any given day, there should be quite a bit of available street parking. Since this is a relatively sleepy town with that small town vibe that includes mom-and-pop stores, eateries, and boutiques, everything is a bit more relaxed here. Fortunately, I parked only steps away from the main entrance and proceeded inside during the afternoon of Saturday 9/21/2024 at around 2:00pm. The inside area is quite small and has very limited seating. However, there is also an indoor "courtyard" area (that has other local businesses) with tables that are used for North Fork Deli customers. This is where my lady and I decided to sit to enjoy our lunch. The menu itself is quite extensive as they have many hot & cold sandwich options as well as salads, soups, breakfast items, ice cream, and even craft beer on tap. I decided to go with a sweet roll (full-size) bread w/turkey, salami, cheddar cheese, greens, onions, tomatoes, pickles, mayo, mustard, alfalfa sprouts, and jalapeños. I also paired this up with some kettle chips and canned soft drink. Total price for everything came out to around $22. I will say that the employees worked fast and diligently as our sandwich was brought to our table in less than 5 minutes. And this was during a very busy time of day on a Saturday. As far as the taste of this sandwich, the sweet roll was the real winner as this was super soft and tasted as if it was baked that morning. The veggies, meat, and cheese also tasted fresh and absolutely delicious. I am a picky eater when it comes to sandwiches and I will say that this place is worth checking out. Even Yelp rated it as top places to eat in 2022 while their business is an active member of the Auburn Chamber of Commerce. Finally, and what really I really appreciated is that there is an autographed football jersey of San Francisco 49ers hall-of-fame quarterback, Joe Montana. All in all, "North Fork Deli" is as good as it gets to a quality sandwich. This place is arguably the best in Auburn and I will even vote that it is one of the best in all of Placer County (which covers Roseville, Rocklin, Lincoln, Colfax, and many more). They are open 7 days a week (hours can vary) and they also do online ordering through their website, https://northforkdeli.com/. My rating, a unanimous five stars.

    Gotta try the cali Ruben!!! Glorious!!! Great spot to take lunch. We are working in the area and I definitelyplan on coming back!!! Repeatedly!!!

    Best! Reuben! Ever! Locally made fresh bread, fresh ingredients, fresh baked cookies, and owner Amber is a charming hostess who makes her customers feel like family! Make your way to Downtown Auburn for this hidden gem!

    Everytime I visit I'm reminded why North Fork Deli is rated so highly. Since my last visit they've done some small renovations to open things up a bit more. Every time I've visited, I've been welcomed right away and the staff is so friendly during the interactions. They have a great selection of cold and hot sandwiches as well as beer options, drinks and chips. On my latest visit I ordered the smaller version of the Italian Melt ($8.49) and it was delicious. The combination of meats, cheese, marinara sauce, onions and pepperoncini was my ideal flavor combination. It was a bit messy, but they gave me extra napkins for that very reason. I was really impressed with their local beer selection and if I wasn't running errands I may have stayed to enjoy one with my sandwich. Parking isn't too hard, unless you're stopping by during the busiest times of the day. It's all street parking and there's plenty of both sides of the street. I'll definitely have this as a regular spot when passing through.

    From left to right BBQ Tri-Tip Tri-Tip Cheesesteak  Cali Reuben Clam Chowder with Bacon. ( I mixed the Bacon so it's hard to see).

    One of The BEST Sandwich places around Sac and Placer County! I've had different sandwiches every time to try something different. It's hard to choose my favorite sandwich. There are delicious! Whatever you select you're going to love it. And maybe the best Clam Chowder I've ever had! I've been to "Fancy" restaurants but never compare to this place. I also tried the Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich. So good!

    I wanted to like this experience. Today I found it overpriced and food was very average. $9 for a soggy and small grilled cheese. Hot dog was ok but served on a much too large roll, so it seemed mostly bread.

Stumbling into this establishment, we didn't realize they had already closed, but the guy behind the counter was nice enough to make us a sandwich anyway. Pastrami Kraut Melt 5/5* If sandwiches had dreams, they would be an Auburn Bodega sandwich. They all are both vsually appealing and spectacular in taste. We went with one of their popular sandwiches to try. The pastrami was PACKED in there! The crisp veggies and tart kraut perfectly balanced out the saltiness of pastrami. The green herb sauce, though, is this sandwich's wet dream. It added creaminess, a refreshing palette, and a bit of citrus flavor to amp up this sando tenfold! Warren & Co. Herb Crackers 5/5* Locally made! I checked the labels just to make sure they were local before purchasing. These were unexpectedly so crisp and savory. The lightness of the crackers tasted like you'd get them fresh out of the oven. They were perfectly dusted with flaky salt, rosemary and other aromatic herbs. I got these for charcuterie, but they were so good stand alone that I had them as a straight snack. They had a hefty display case of drinks out back and a small freezer with local goodies like a pot pie. We grabbed some kombucha to wash everything down. I noticed some desserts by the cashier also, and locally made bodycare items, but didn't want to browse any longer and keep them beyond their closing hours. This place is such a local gem. Side note - they prefer being small and local, and asked us not to post their menu on Yelp, since it rotates and people have come to get old sandos that weren't on the menu anymore. I respected their wishes but they were too good not to write about!

There was a good amount of outdoor seating along with a few tables inside as well. The vibe there was pretty lively and fun, almost reminded me of old-time burger joints.

From photos, the burgers seemed small, but was happy to find out the burgers were a good size. I ordered the New Fashion and added cheese to it, plus family size onion rings. The burger was very filling and tasted really fresh and flavorful without being overpowering. But I do wish there was more lettuce than just one piece.
