**A Sad Farewell to Alpine Deli - A Beloved German Gem**…read moreIt's with a heavy heart that I write this: the Alpine Deli has permanently closed its doors, and with it, a truly special part of our community is gone. This place was more than just a deli or restaurant--it was a little slice of Germany right here in Spokane. My wife and mother-in-law, both German, found comfort, joy, and a sense of familiarity in its authentic offerings. Whether it was the perfectly prepared schnitzel, the warm and hearty goulash, or the shelves stocked with imported German groceries--from mustards and sausages to chocolates and breads--you could taste the tradition in everything they offered. The loss of those hard-to-find German pantry staples hits hard. Alpine Deli was our go-to for ingredients you simply couldn't get anywhere else, and now there's a real gap where that connection to home and heritage used to be. The staff always made us feel welcome. There was a warmth and friendliness that matched the comforting food and cozy atmosphere. You didn't just go to Alpine for a meal--you went for an experience, a piece of culture, and a chance to connect over something real and delicious. It's a real loss to see a place like this disappear. In a world of fast, generic options, Alpine Deli stood proudly for tradition, quality, and authenticity. It will be sorely missed--not only by us, but by everyone who ever stepped through its doors and felt, if only for a little while, like they were part of something special. Danke, Alpine Deli. You gave us so many good memories. You won't be forgotten.

It's mostly sausage and meats, meats and sausages, hearty rolls and pretzel buns and rye bread etc. I got a Reuben and it was fucking delightful. Shits was piled high with meat and featured a massive wad of house-made (assuming) sauerkraut. Excellent bread and cheese. Soft. Bread was not really toasted all that long and I devoured the thing. Cost $12 for a whole sandwich with no sides. I shouldn't be crying about this but yet I am a little bit. Throw a few kettle chips my way and make it feel like a meal eh? A few carrot sticks? Something. Anything. I can't afford to eat like this for lunch. My co-worker got a sausage roll and it was just that. A couple smallish sausages with hot mustard on a white roll. Looked and tasted great but I know he must've walked out hungry. $8. Cup of soup is $6. I'm complaining a lot about prices. It's not their fault. They make from scratch and Spokane City has em' bent over with taxes and fees at every turn I'm sure. Service was really friendly and they were knowledgeable. They vary offerings a lot and feature some different breads and desserts daily. Homemade bratwurst is available but they tend to sell out, judging by our 12:10pm visit when they had nada.

We Love Something Else Deli is an absolute gem that I stumbled upon while apartment hunting. Located conveniently on Sherman, this locally-owned deli offers impeccable service with a friendly accent. From the moment you step in, you're greeted warmly, and they even remember your name! The sandwiches are not only tasty but crafted with care. I've tried numerous options, and there hasn't been a single one that I didn't enjoy. However, the Santa Fe holds a special place in my heart; it's a must-try for anyone visiting the deli. The service is efficient, and the atmosphere is welcoming. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Something Else Deli is an experience worth savoring. Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious sandwiches served with a personal touch! read more

I recently visited Something Else Deli and I must say, I was thoroughly impressed! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel incredibly welcome. Their service was top-notch and lightning-fast, ensuring I didn't have to wait long for my order. The food exceeded my expectations - fresh ingredients and bursting with flavor. The cleanliness of the area was also noteworthy, adding to the overall pleasant dining experience. I can't wait to return and try out their other sandwiches. The French dip was divine, and I highly recommend trying their onion soup sandwich - it's a must-have! Keep up the excellent work, Something Else Deli read more

That was until the last few visits where we experienced the WORST customer service!!!

I will say that it was kind of odd to me that they microwaved the roast beef inside what looked to be a plastic wrapper of some sort. Doesn't bother me but was just odd. However someone like my boyfriend would be bothered by that because of like microplastics or something. Anyways, then they put everything in a panini press and wrap it up. The sandwich was great, the bread was thick too so I'm glad I put the extra thousand island. I also ordered the loaded potato salad and the chipotle pasta salad. The chipotle pasta salad was flavorless and just honestly kind of weird. Wouldn't order again and I threw it away. The potato salad was very thick chunks of potatoes and very little salt or flavor, very different than what I had imagined from the description on their menu. It wasn't horrible though and I finished about half. Also would not order this again. Customer service and the Ruben are the reason for the 4 stars, if customer service wasn't good then I would've given 3 stars due to the sides not being good.

It was around lunch time and I prepared myself for this place to be busy and I'm glad I did. When I arrived, there was a long line of people waiting to order, almost all the tables inside were taken, and there were several people standing around waiting for their order. The ambience was definitely hustle and bustle and probably louder than usual. This didn't deter me as I got in line and prepared to put on my "patience" hat lol. While standing in line, I had plenty of time to look at the vast menu, which everything sounded great. However, I'm still not eating meat and I went with "The Vegg." It consisted of: fresh avocado, sunflower seeds, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, onions, cucumbers and sprouts with your choice of cheese and dressings (taken from the menu description). I chose to have it on sourdough bread, with provolone cheese, and add cranberry sauce. I made my meal a combo and added a fountain drink and a side. As for my side, I went with Greek pasta salad. I saw a handful of dessert options that they make in-house and I couldn't take my eyes off this huge rice krispie treat. So I got that and a couple of big chocolate chip cookies. It took quite some time for the order to come out, which again I knew and didn't mind. People watching was interesting. My food was well worth the wait. The sandwich was sooo fresh, crisp, and very scrumptious. I got a half and it was huge. The bread also baked in-house was delicious and wasn't very sour. So if you like a lite sourdough then try this one. The veggies were plentiful, juicy, and crunchy and loved the cranberry sauce addition. I would get this sandwich over and over if the quality and taste is consistent every time. The Greek pasta salad was that of what you expect a traditional Greek pasta salad would have in it. It was a decent sized portion and had good seasoning. I'm looking forward to coming back for sure. Now let's talk about the rice krispie. It was so big, as big as my hand (see pic for reference lol). This rice krispie became an instant fav. It was soft and not overly sugary or saturated in butter. The best part I enjoyed was that they use whole mini marshmallows (see pic). The chocolate chip cookie was great with a good crisp outside and a soft but not undercooked inside. I'm looking forward to coming back to repeat this same exact meal--that's how much I enjoyed it. Despite it being lunch rush hour, every employee was working diligently and each one I encountered was smiling and nice. I also saw some cupcakes in another case that looked awesome and will try one of two of those next time.

I think their tuna has sweet pickles in it. I'd like to try another meat, because even after all my complaints, they managed to make it tasty enough. So, it's worth giving a shot.
