    Centered away in the middle of a side lot. Warm greeting as we entered. (Always a plus). They host a variety of sandwiches and salads. We had a Brooks Street (10/10) and a Trestles (9/10) sandwich. The Brooks Street was a Turkey, bacon and avocado sandwich on a really fresh, soft yet chewy roll. The Trestles was full of thick cut, flavorful roast beef. Both are served with a side pickle spear. They have a fountain drink machine alongside bottled drinks. Ample seating inside and out. Relaxed vibe to enjoy. Come grab fresh sandwich or salad and leave with a smile.

    I was craving a sandwich, wanted to try something new, and support a small business. We came by right before closing, around 3:15pm on a Saturday. The older couple running the place were just the cutest, super sweet and accommodating. We probably walked in about five minutes before their actual closing time, and they were already cleaning up, but they insisted on helping us anyway (even though we would have totally understood if they didn't). We ordered the two vegetarian options on the menu. I especially loved the bread on the cold sandwich. It was fresh, soft, and slightly sweet. The veggie melt just needed a bit more salt, but I liked the hint of spice. Overall, good solid sandwiches, but nothing particularly standout. We paid about $30 for two sandwiches, one bag of chips, and a small tip. A bit pricey for what it was, but I appreciated that they use fresh, quality ingredients. Honestly, not sure I would go out of my way to come back (unless I was already in the area), but it was a nice experience and I'm glad we tried it. The customer service was exceptional, and that is what would bring me back if I was nearby. Parking is easy since the shop is in a plaza.

    Second Reef is tucked in an unassuming plaza, you'll have to park and walk into it. It's the same plaza as pure hockey + Greek bistro. If you park near pure hockey and look over to the Greek bistro you'll see second reef! The customer service here is excellent and they are very helpful. Sandwiches are always delicious and you can see them make it in front of you so you know it's fresh. Definitely in our rotation for sandwiches! :)

    Great tasting Albacore sandwich. The food preparation service is quick. And the area is very nice and quiet.

    Second Reef Deli hit it out of the park! I ordered the Brooks Street Hot and it was perfect turkey warmed, bread toasted, and super generous with the avocado. Fresh, flavorful, and made exactly how I asked. The service was just as good as the food. The gentleman and lady behind the counter treated me like family friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. Great food, amazing service, and a welcoming vibe. I'll definitely be back!

    A great deli with fresh ingredients and staff who take pride in making a sandwich. With the ease of online ordering it is easy to forget what passion and art goes into the food we eat when we never interact with those who prepare it. Tried Second Reef Deli for the first time today and what a gem it is. Nothing fancy or trendy about the interior of the deli, but that doesn't matter when the sandwiches are so delicious! I came after the lunch rush and got the chance to witness the care taken to make our sandwiches. You might think I'm overthinking what it takes to make a sandwich but not here. They didn't slap the food on the bread and quickly spread the aioli about. They didn't skimp on the produce or have parts of the bread barely covered with toppings. They took time to make sure it all fit and was made carefully so eat bite is satisfying. There is a ton to choose from here and even the fountain machine ice was exceptional. Bits of broken ice with cubes produced a faster chill to my Diet Coke than when it's just cubes. Didn't spill out either and overfill the cup with ice so I was pleasantly surprised. If you want a high quality deli sandwich and a great price, you need to stop at Second Reef Deli!

    Not bad service is a little stoic but they get the job done here. Had an Italian sandwich, forgot the name, the one with three types of meat and provolone. Was rather bland but did the job. I can tell how good a sandwich is by how fast I eat and finish it. Normally, it takes me 2 minutes to finish a remarkable sandwich. Took me 10 minutes to finish this and I was hungry. Cool and comfy outdoor seating area and inside the vibe is dead. Not a bad place but unremarkable.

    We were craving something cool and refreshing with the heat this weekend, so visited Second Reef Deli for the second time to get some sandwiches. Got the same sandwiches we did last time - the Brooks Street & the Varazze (italian). They were even better than I remembered. The bread had a perfect chew to it, and the bread to sandwich filling ratio was spot on. Nice and air conditioned inside, with coke fountain drinks (diet coke is my preferred drink of choice)! Seemed like a steady stream of customers coming in and the staff was really sweet. We won't wait so long to visit a third time :)

    Ordered lunch for our department meeting. Our orders came with each item labeled, which was very convenient and efficient. The salad I got was delicious and very filling. I would try a sandwich next time!

The service could've been a little more friendly. The young guy working at the register didn't say much and didn't seem to really promote the menu, even after I told him it was my first time there. I was really excited to try the food here with my friend. I was in the mood for whole pieces of chicken and I'm so glad I chose the half chicken plate. The plate comes with two sides and there were a few options to choose from. I selected a side salad and roasted lemon garlic potatoes. I was trying to be a little more healthy. Otherwise, I probably would've chosen the french fries. The dressing on the salad was really good and all of the ingredients were fresh. I really liked the pickled red onions that came with the salad. The potatoes were alright. The plate also comes with a large soft pita. And the garlic sauce was just right with everything . The star of the show was the juicy and flavorful chicken.I enjoyed this lunch so much. I can't wait to come back!
