    Chicken salad which is what me and my daughter always order. They gave us Tuna
    Nutchelle777 A.

    I was always at Corner Deli when it was on Dixwelle Ave for years. Now that it is on Whitney with a different owner it's not the same. The young lady at the front has been rude EVERY TIME! She LOOKS SO MISERABLE and her customer service towards me is disposable I saw the owner and daughter before the new owners and I was informed of the new ownership. It's not the same. Business is Business. Parking lot empty when I pull in. It was never empty. Stayed busy. Now I have a completely wrong order that I now have to call about in the morning for me and my daughter. It's not okay. I work so hard and I am going through a lot. I wish the original owner was still running this place or at least his daughter. This is SAD. I did stop buying but because I needed a pick me up this was my spot. NOT ANYMORE

    Chicken Cutlet - Roll
    Daniella M.

    My brother claimed this was the best chicken cutlet sandwich he ever had so I had to give it a shot! Was definitely worth the drive the sandwich was huge and delicious. I got the Chris w balsamic dressing added. Service was fine. The place has seating if you want to sit and eat but is more of a to go spot as any deli!

    Chicken cutlets up with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and raw onions

    After hearing some good things about The Corner Deli I decided to give it a try today. It was well worth the trip.I ordered the chicken cutlet sub with lettuce, tomato, bacon, and raw onions. Probably one of the best sandwiches I ever had. Great service, and very reasonable prices.

    A very home style and friendly deli. A variety of options ranging from classics to created. They have decent prices and sizable portions but the reason for the one star is, I found a wrapper from some sort of equipment in my lettuce (See attached photos). This is not acceptable at all and it a hazard is every way. I hope in the future the sandwiches and ingredients are double checked.

    Obsessed with the corner deli and go there all the time! It's super convenient and they tell you the food will be ready in 15-20, but ends up being ready in like 10 minutes. I recommend the Buffalo chicken on a roll. Hands down one of the best spots in town for a sandwich!

    Please fix! I ordered a panini #6 from Uber. Tuna was not in the description, and yet I got Tuna. I hate tuna. I'm on the phone with Uber now trying to get a refund.

    Best place ever. Chicken cutlets are incredible as well as the friendly service! I've been coming here for years. Cannot speak highly enough of this business. Well done, Corner Deli! Favorite sandwich is a tie between the Chris and the dirty cali chick! Get a Tshirt and spread the word about this magical establishment!

    Great deli! Loved my liverwurst sandwich. It was ready when we got there. It's so big that I'll have the other half for lunch tomorrow.

Paul, our waiter extraordinaire, couldn't have been more pleasant and engaging. The fresh bread was fantastic. I had the Irish beef soup and was amazed. It was perfect and I grew up having a lot of that from an Irish Grandmother who was an exceptional cook. I thought i might need more so I ordered the chicken pot pie. That was scrumptious but half came home with me. My friend got the buffalo chicken salad. Fresh vegetables with a nicely flavored chicken. We split one of the carrot cupcake with is delightful cream cheese frosting. We were pleasantly surprised when the halves were served on two plates, well just see the pictures below . If you are in the Hamden area, I strongly suggest you stop in for a bite and/ or order your dinner to go! If you're lucky, Paul will be your wait staff!

We tried to get in yesterday but it was super crowded and we didn't want to wait amongst a lot of people (too much sickness going around). However, I wish we had gone, because our breakfast wasn't anywhere as good as today. I started with a Carmel latte which was really good. I had the croissant French toast which was utterly amazing! I have to say that I am NOT a breakfast person. I'm not a fan of eggs, but I will eat them and I hate to start the day with a sugar bomb! However, the croissant French toast was a true delight. It came topped with fresh, not frozen sugary stuff, beautiful juicy strawberries, a nice light whipped cream, and a not so sugary chocolate sauce on the side. It did have a lot of whipped cream so I loved that to the side. It was served with syrup but I didn't use any. The flavor of the croissant with the strawberries was enough for me. I barely dipped it in the chocolate. It was delectable! I've also had their Irish Benny on another trip which was amazing and the pumpkin pancakes. There is NO other breakfast place where I cannot make a decision because there are so many delicious items to choose from. And, I know that anything I choose is going to be utterly amazing. Their portions are big and their prices are very fair for what your get. I felt like I had a whole pint of strawberries on my croissant. My husband had the meat lovers omelet with oatmeal. He said everything was perfect. The staff is very friendly and very attentive. This is a typical breakfast place. It's not fancy but friendly and clean. And everyone seems happy! The kind of place I like. You have to get here early or you'll have a wait. I say the wait is well worth it. We went at 8:30 on a holiday and were able to be seated immediately. That's the first time that's happened though. I want to try their lunch, but their breakfast is so amazing, I would probably order breakfast for lunch which is something I NEVER do! If we had this place near us (we're from Philly), it would be the death of me! I'd be going all the time.

    The Wright Way - Dry rub smoked wings

    The Wright Way

    (9 reviews)

    The Wright Way's Yelp profile stood out when I did a Hamden area search earlier this year. Burgers…read more Wings. A High Overall Rating. All things I love. I recently found time to visit. Wright Way is small and more functional than nice, but there is some cool branding and the place has a very friendly vibe. I'm the only person who dined in, but while I was there, there were a number of people there for takeout orders. The Wright Team was very kind and accommodating while I there. I ordered a Fungi Burger, which was a double beef smash burger, grilled onions, sautéed shrooms, garlic sauce and Swiss Cheese on a standard bun. The smash burgers were not cooked to the point of char. For a double smash burger, it didn't look particularly big, but each of the components was very good. And the burger was better than the sum of its parts. The fries were good too. I also ordered a Small Wings, with dry rub and BBQ Sauce, and Alabama Sauce (a white sauce) on the side. We must have had a misunderstanding about the sauces, because they came with dry rub and all sauces on the side. Not a big deal. I sauced the wings at the table. The wings are smoked, but there wasn't a strong smoke flavor. They had the texture of smoked wings, but the outer texture was still good too. The meat wasn't dry at all. The Wright Way was nice enough to accommodate all my crazy sauce requests. Blue Cheese or Ranch. I tried both, and I'm going to tell you that a side of Alabama White Sauce is the way to go. A nice bit of horseradish. Very flavorful. I can definitely see returning even though I don't live in the area. If you live nearby, you should definitely visit and start exploring the Burgers, Sandwiches, Wings, Breakfast Sandwiches, etc. 4.5 Stars

I've been sitting on this review because I lowkey don't want people to overdo it and ruin the vibe--but my Instagram stays in the know since I've posted them plenty of times already. They're just that good. It's a nice, quaint spot with real heart, plus they've got a food truck they take out and about, and they cater too. Straight out of South Carolina, bringing authentic Southern BBQ, lowcountry blends, and somehow mixing it perfectly with that New England swagger. I became a regular fast. Any chance I get, I'm bringing new people here....and I'm not stopping anytime soon, which should tell you everything. They've got some crazy staples too: $10 classic burger with fries on Tuesdays, $1 smoked wing Wednesdays... Yeah, you read that right. And that's just off the top of my head. They also run daily specials that rotate, so either keep an eye on their IG or just pull up and see what they've got cooking that day. I could honestly keep going?I've tried a lot of the menu--but don't sleep on the breakfast sandwiches (coffee's included). And if you're an Arizona fan, they've got variety. Long story short: if you haven't been yet, you're missing out!
