daily specials.

This is my first time eating at this location. I've been to the Elk Grove location. I called ahead and place my order for pick up, since I was on my lunch break from work. They have the big smoker sitting outside in front of the place and you can smell the smokiness when you walk close to the building. Like the Elk Grove location, they have the same menu. They have their daily specials for each day of the week. You have the option to make your sandwich order a combo for a little more. They are known for their Tri-Tip tacos. That is a must try, but I really like their loaded hot pastrami sandwich. That sandwich is up there with the Tri-Tip tacos, in my opinion. The pastrami is full of flavor, moist and tender. The only complaint is that I think the ratio of the meat and bread is off. They need to put a couple of more slices in the sandwich, but I do like their sandwiches. I will probably come again.

Hoping for a decent pastrami! Taste wise - decent and probably the best for Sacramento. Nice roll but would have preferred a crispier one that is neutral in flavor and less sweet. I grew up eating pastrami sandwiches in Los Angeles where stands were on nearly every corner AND piled high with juicy, savory pastrami. I had one when I was there in November 24 and paid $18.99. This one was $11.50. I also had 3 times the pastrami and it was about 1.5 times bigger - enough to share with my sister I can not figure out why SoCal is able to maintain the ratio of pastrami to bread and nobody else in the state seems to be able or maybe even want to. Maybe there isn't the interest here. ‍ The lunch spot itself is a walk up in midtown. A variety of sandwiches were offered. No salads though except sides of macaroni or potato. I wish they offered a slaw for a bit of acid relief. They also offer breakfast. I tried the potato salad. Very average - potato, mayo, a bit of relish maybe? There was plenty of foot traffic on this Tuesday. They offer daily specials and are quick to get orders out. There is also outside as well as inside eating. I would return to try their other offerings, which include both hot and cold sandwiches. A nice space for a decent, reasonably priced lunch or breakfast. Give them a try!

Roundhouse Deli has been on my list for a long time, but being as they close at 3pm, I could never find the time to visit. While in the area on Saturday, we were finally able to stop in after my daughter's jiu jitsu class. Roundhouse Deli is located on Alhambra Blvd and only offers street parking since it is Midtown. The inside was spacious with plenty of seating, they also offered tables outside as well. We were greeted when we walked in and ordered at the counter. We ordered the Tri Tip Tacos, Jeremy Burrito and a Sausage Breakfast Burrito with no potatoes. I loved everything we ordered - the tacos were smokey and flavorful and both burritos were huge and simple yet still tasted great - even without salsa or hot sauce, but they do offer red and green salsas. Both were great and spicy! They also offer canned and bottled drinks. We went with a bottled Topo Chico, a canned Coke and a bottled Orange Juice. Overall, I was really impressed with Roundhouse Deli. We were kicking ourselves for not visiting sooner, but being as it is around the corner from my daughter's class, I can see this becoming our new Saturday lunch routine! There were so many other items on the menu that I can't wait to try - like the Rueben and Cheesesteak sandwiches! My mouth is drooling just thinking about those tacos! Can't wait to come back! Check them out!

Loved this place and so does the neighborhood! Fast, clean, polite, oh, and great menu. Check them out.

Potato Salad
Tommy P.

Drove by this place constantly on the way to drop off my girlfriend at work, and I swear that smoker runs 24/7! It must be nice to live in an area where you wake up to the smell of smoked meat on the daily! I chose to stop by after clearing some time in my schedule for a quick, early lunch, and boy it was one of the best decisions I have ever made in a long minute! The staff are extremely cordial and felt like a nice slice of East Coast hospitality. Kindness without all the fluff, a staple of a great sandwich shop. The interior is plainly set up with some occasional tandem benches set up along the wall, giving a bit of a more casual setting. I haven't come here late enough to see a major rush, but I can imagine it gets busy. I ordered the Tri-tip combo with a potato salad. The total came to a little under $17. It's a bit more expensive compared to the chains that have daily deals/combos, but for the quality that they provided, I would have paid a much greater sum. The sandwich came out quickly, and they walked my to-go order over to me, which was an appreciated gesture, seeing that I was across the store. Reiterating that customer service is not often a criterion that adds to my score (unless it's a restaurant that is renowned for it), but I always want to provide recognition where it is deserved. The tri-tip was beautifully and perfectly smoked, resulting in tender and delectable slices of meat that paired perfectly with their BBQ sauce and mayo. I was going to save it for when I arrived at a nearby cafe, but it smelled too damn good not to eat in the car at that very moment. The fixings of lettuce, onion, and tomato were fresh and helped provide a contrast of crunch to the sandwich. Absolutely devoured, would get again, but I need to try everything else on their menu for the sake of exploration. 9/10. I was also pleasantly surprised by the potato salad. It had a strong edge of acidity, which paired wonderfully with the beefiness of the sandwich. I believe that the bell peppers also gave a nice savoriness, but I didn't get a chance to fully analyze the flavors before I snarfed it down. Oh well, that just means I have to come back again at some point and write another review. Not saying that I have a problem with that at all haha! 8.5/10.

3 tri tip tacos and fries
Mario B.

Tried Roundhouse Deli for lunch. I popped in during lunch on a random Monday afternoon at their Alhambra location. Small dining room with grill going out front that smelled delish. I took a recommendation from the person taking order and asked for the 3 tri tip tacos and fries. The tacos came out loaded with cheese. The meat quantity I would say was average. They weren't bad, but they weren't great either. I wouldn't get them again. I should have trusted my instincts and went with a burrito. Fries were fresh. Crispy and thick. If I return. I'm trying a sandwich or burrito. I'd give it a 3.7 out of 5.

Daily Specials
Melissa G.

Roundhouse Deli is one of East Sac's best kept hidden gems! I passed Roundhouse Deli while running errands and circled back because of the smell alone. Their smoker is out front and you can smell the smoked meat from down the street. It's truly mouthwatering! I stopped by for lunch and saw they have daily specials. I decided to order the Cheesesteak Combo, which comes with a choice of side and fountain drink. Service is at the counter, and we ordered to-go, even though I'd like to come back and sit at one of their picnic tables next time. The Cheesesteak is one of the best I've ever had! The cheese pull was awesome and I liked the smokey flavor of the meat. Surprisingly, it was a very neat sandwich, not messy, and filling. I ate half and saved the other half for lunch the next day. I'll definitely be coming back!

Tri tip breakfast burrito & bbq smokey sauce in package. Hot off the grill
Bonnie C.

If you're hungry at breakfast & anywhere near the deli-- the tri tip breakfast burrito is to die for!!! They package their own smokey hot sauce. Half was good for me, but Im a slight eater. We got it to go & it was hot.. just as it should be. They cook it fresh

Fish tacos (limited time) and tri tip tacos
Elizabeth D.

We've been wanting to try their famous tri-tip tacos and had a chance to stop by around lunchtime on a weekday. They had fish tacos for a limited time, so we got one order of fish tacos and one of the tri-tip and shared. It was all delicious, especially with their hot sauces/salsas. Service was super friendly and kind. We let them know that it was our first time, and they gave us a free cookie for our little girl. They seem to have regular and thankful customers. We left smelling like smoke from the smoker out front, so just be aware if you need to go somewhere afterward smelling good! Overall, it's a great addition to the neighborhood, and we're looking forward to trying other items, like the sandwiches.

Andre B.

Upset that I didn't know about this place sooner, what a hidden gem! I love their tri-tip sandwich, will have to come back and try their tacos and pastrami sandwich too. The fries came out fresh and the service was fast! Only con about this place is that they close mostly 3pm. If you're in the neighborhood I'd recommend coming for their daily specials!

The Mark Burger
Jay S.

Roundhouse Deli delivered great service today. Everything came out very fast. I ordered the special, the Mark Burger Combo, and it absolutely surprised me. I don't remember it ever being that juicy before, but today it was a work of art. The cheese was perfectly melted and every part of the burger was on point. I would definitely order it again. I'd give the Mark Burger an 8.5 out of 10 and the fries a 6 out of 10. The fries were fresh and salted, but they were pretty basic and didn't really wow me. The Mark Burger, though, was delicious and I highly recommend it.

Tri tip sandwich

I come here like once every other week when running errands nearby and it's worth it every time. I've gotten the tri tip breakfast burrito as well as their sandwich. Both really good and fresh. Staff are really nice. It's a chill spot and the smoker is always going. Good vibes all around.

Dafne A.

Tri tip tacos are a must try at this place. Hands down amazing I would recommend to my friends or anyone looking for a good place to eat in downtown. Staff was also very friendly and nice. Super clean and overall great experience

I came 4 times in one week hoping for tripas, lengua, or cabeza and was told they were out every single time. If you don't carry menu items regularly, take them off the menu. Service also needs work. The teen at the register was whispering to another employee and laughing while taking my order. Made me uncomfortable. Beto's down the street doesn't have these issues -- they stock what they advertise and the service is solid.

The burrito was below average in size, had meat covering less than half of it, and contained no sour cream. The portion and overall preparation were nowhere near what I would expect when paying for a carnitas burrito. But the most concerning part was the salsa. It had an extremely strong chemical taste and smell that reminded me of Fabuloso or mop/cleaning solution. It was so unpleasant that I genuinely questioned whether something had gone wrong with the preparation or whether the salsa had somehow come into contact with cleaning chemicals. I cannot say what caused it, but the taste was absolutely disgusting and raised a serious food-safety concern for me. This is why consistency and proper food-handling procedures matter. A restaurant can have a great meal one day and a terrible one the next, but customers shouldn't have to wonder whether something that tastes like cleaning chemicals is safe to eat. I hope management takes this seriously and looks into the preparation, storage, and handling of the salsa and other ingredients. If a product tastes or smells strongly enough like cleaning chemicals that a customer is questioning whether it may be contaminated, that is something that should be investigated--not dismissed. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend this burrito. Poor portion, poor execution, and a salsa that raised legitimate food-safety concerns. Consistency and cleanliness should be non-negotiable in a restaurant.

From the moment we sat down with my young son, Mason made it crystal clear that actually waiting on tables was way below his pay grade. After sitting around for over 30 minutes just waiting for a check while Mason was either nowhere to be found or busy socializing with the rest of the staff, we finally gave up and walked toward the front to just pay upfront. That exact moment Mason floated over to casually ask if we needed anything else. When I said, "Yes, we need the bill--we've been waiting 30 minutes," he helpfully explained that it was my fault for not waving him down to remind him to do his job. I let him know right then and there that he wouldn't be receiving a tip for zero effort. To cap off his stellar professionalism, after getting called out for his non-existent service, he sarcastically called me an "array of sunshine." Tipping is a gratuity, so I'll graciously leave this tip instead: stop getting high on the job and treating patrons as a burden just because you have more than one table to serve. The food was good, but Mason's attempt at waiting tables was a complete joke. Next time, hopefully he can summon the Herculean strength required to hand someone a bill--assuming it doesn't conflict with the high horse he rides around expecting tips for a job he can't even be bothered to do.
