Lately, I have been craving cheese steaks similar to the ones I have had during my visits to Philadelphia. It was suggested to me that I try The Deli at 700 from quite a few people, so I made my way there to give it a go. I called my order in, and the exchange I had with whomever answered the phone was fantastic. She was very polite and didn't mind answering the few questions I had. While I did not grab any pictures of the exterior or interior, I can state that the establishment is very well kept & clean. I ordered a steak sub (The 700) and breaded wings. The wings were fried beautifully! The steak sub was full of meat cheese and toppings. The bread they use was nice and soft but sturdy enough to hold up to the meat & toppings. I think it's great that there is a deli in this location offering tons of food options!
I was warmly welcomed and provided excellent service. I had a lot of questions and the person working was super helpful. It is nice and clean inside full of desserts, drinks, chips, and more. I got the chicken wings with sauce and they are breaded but I took a long ride home so they weren't as crispy as I'd like but that isn't their fault. I also got an 8" philly and it was so tasty and cheesy. They have an extensive menu and their pizza for slices looked delicious as well. I'd definitely go back and I go to the zoo frequently so it is close by.
On a triangular plot where South Geddes Street meets Grand Avenue sat a vacant gas station and boarded up Salvation Army thrift store for decades. Sam Deb and his cousin, Mado Abdel, grew up in the neighborhood and became tired of the eyesore. They also wished they had more dining options. The only places to eat within several blocks were were a Puerto Rican cafe and two corner stores that sold pizza and potato chips. After years of running convenience stores throughout Onondaga County, they decided to do something about it. The family bought the rotted out gas station and got to work on a serious makeover. They tore down every wall inside, hauled away truckloads of junk and rebuilt the facade and added 15 windows. They built a restaurant-grade kitchen, added drink coolers, a 12-foot deli counter and hot-food display. You can get breakfast all day (and night) here. You can start your day with a simple plate of bacon and eggs, or you can fill up with a Philly cheese omelette stuffed with seasoned steak, peppers, onions and mozzarella. They'll also make you a plate of oversized French toast with Texas toast or with cinnamon raisin bread. You can wash that down with one of three varieties of Paul deLima Coffee. For lunch and dinner, you might choose any one of their nine burgers or design your own. They serve pasta dishes such as ziti, riggies and stuffed shells. The traditional deli sandwiches and subs are built with Boar's Head cold cuts, cheeses and spreads. For the health-conscious customers out there, Sam and Mado placed seven salads on the menu, each of which can be customized. I grew up in the neighborhood where Deli at 700 opened. I don't get around there much anymore, but I love that someone decided to put something good into the neighborhood and reclaim this space that sat vacant forever. Recently I was down there visiting family so I decided to check it out. Its bright, modern and very nicely redone on the inside and out. Ordered a Italian and Turkey Club sub, along with a couple piece of cheesecake from another local business, Trita Treatz. The employees were extremely friendly, and both subs were great. Exactly what you want from a deli sub, proportions are plentiful and using Boar's Head meat is definitely a plus. Prices are comparable to other delis. Definitely recommend and will go again when I'm around.
It was cool seeing this place open up. I don't get local television anymore, but I have to assume they run local commercials - the ones where all the owners showcase their food with a series of quick cuts, ending with a dinging bell stock sound and a sparkling smile. This area is saturated with hole in the wall delis and corner stores. This one is the embodiment of what those other stores dreamed the experience would be, before getting absolutely taken down by whatever reality made them what they are today. At first glance, it's another place you can pop in for a sub, pizza, some breaded wings, cheese fries, potato wedges, a burger, you get it. My first question was Why, when the same food already exists 100 yards in either direction, and another dozen times within walking distance. 30 seconds into my first visit and the answer was pretty clear. They've solved the experience. You can now get your favorite hot and ready south side favorites from a place you don't have to be sad about going to. The owners are super personable, and there's an unshakable energy like they're actually glad to see you and excited to help you. A lot of days I tend to keep to myself when I'm out and avoid small talk, but these guys always have me talking to the point where I have my food in hand and still haven't left. The second time I came in was at least several months and god knows how many customers after the first, but they recognized me on sight and even asked me questions about stuff we talked about on my last visit. It would take a genuine effort not to warm up to these guys in the time it takes to place your order. The only thing I wouldn't come back here for is the pizza. It was normal, just didn't wow me enough to pull me away from my favorite places. I don't normally go for breaded wings, but these were good enough to give Midway a run for their money. They have whatever sauces you'd reasonably need, but we got sassy sauce on the side both times we ordered. They do the breading thick, but it's seasoned and stays tender even the next day. If you don't normally do breaded wings, try them here before you write them off. The cheesesteak is good, but second to the chopped cheese. I missed it the first time because it was in with the burgers on the menu. I had only just discovered these maybe months before coming here, and you don't really find them around Syracuse. It's the perfect middle ground between a Philly and a burger. Same mess of loose meat, but stuffed in there with the mixings of a burger. Ketchup, mustard, lettuce, etc. It's incredible, and they do it very well here. You won't regret stopping in for lunch or some easy take out. There's a lot of things I'm still looking forward to trying, but it's tough not to order the chopped cheese again with more breaded wings. Start there, and see how far you get. I hope these guys are doing well, they definitely deserve it.
I think the story about this business is amazing! I lived on Grand Ave years ago and this spot was an eyesore for years. A family who grew up in the area decided to buy it and fix it up and opened a deli for the neighborhood where restaurants are slim. The outside is clean and modern looking and the inside is clean and bright. They have a couple of tables and my friend and I had lunch at one of the tables. We were cheerfully greeted by the Owner and his cousin and we both decided to get the cheeseburger sub with all the fixings (lettuce, tomatoes, mayo). The sub roll was delicious not too heavy ( I hate it when the bread overwhelms the sandwich). The cheeseburger was all chopped up and covered in cheese and I've never had anything like it. The owner several times thanked us for coming in and it was very genuine. I will definitely be back when in the area to try something else.
I saw other posts on a local FB page so I had to try this new Deli. I know I will be back, so I decided to try a cold sub on my first trip. I ordered the Italian 12". They use Boar's head cold cuts, and I am a big fan, so I knew the quality would be great. It's not what I would consider an "Italian " sub with just salami, ham and provolone.....but no complaints from me because it was excellent. The sub roll (from Harrison Bakery, I think) was very fresh. All the veggies in the case looked super fresh and I ordered it with lettuce, tomato, onion, banana peppers, light mayo, light oil and grated parmesan cheese. Ashley was so efficient behind the counter, and was so friendly answering my questions. I met the owner, Ahmad, who was also really nice to talk with and I have such a good feeling about this place, it feels like he is doing everything right. Great location, beautiful, clean business, great quality products. It's mostly take out, but there are a few tables to dine in. I am looking forward to my next visit and trying one of his hot items.
Really great initiative opening this on the west side. It's been a hot commodity since opening. Owner and staff are really nice. They have a huge menu and offer Boar's Head meats. You could stop in for any meal of the day and finish it off with dessert from Trita's Treatz, another local business. I tried the Philly cheesesteak. It was delicious. I gotta get a 12" next time. Not too pricey either, fair in my opinion. They get quite the lunch rush and will have to work on managing orders as they tend to get backed up.
Very inviting space with snacks, drinks, desserts, and some hot foods on display. Order next to sandwich counter - everything kept tidy and brightly lit. Ordered the 700 Philly, pastrami sub, onion rings, french fries, and sweet and sour breaded wings. Everything was very reasonably priced. Pastrami was sliced to order, sandwich toppings were fresh and plenty of options. Both sandwiches were very good, made with pride and for good reason. Wings were sticky and delicious and sides were perfect. Will be back.
Yo lemme get a Chopped Cheese the 700 Deli Way! (If you know, you know) Wecome back to another Takeout Thursday. Was in the mood for a Chopped Cheese and in rare form I got it with almost all the veggies (im veggie picky). Tomato, lettuce, seasoned ground beef. Cheese, mayo and maybe some kind of sauce on a 12 inch sub roll. Blended great. Portions size was good and filling. Cost was a little high and didnt match menu price ( was about $2 more than advertised, $2 isnt breaking me just prefer to pay whats advertised.). Loved the taste and would definetly try something else there. read more
I had a couple friends tell me they tried this place and it was "fantastic", so today on my day off I decided to doordash it. Food arrived in a nicely sealed paper bag, food was hot and in good condition. The boneless wings were a surprise- they seem to be hand breaded and hand cut, which made them unique and delicious! The sassy sauce I chose was not super spicy, reminded me of a sort of bang bang sauce. Yum. The mozz sticks are those thick chunky ones covered in parmesan cheese and parsley. The best kind. Marinara was chunky and tasty as a side. The Philly was great! Super cheesey, has mayo, which is how I love it, with lots of filling. The bread was soft and the overall bite each time was a good one. I would definitely recommend!!! read more

Discovered this little gem thanks to Yelp. There was an event this past summer catered by The Deli at 700 and "wow" is what everyone was saying about the food. They provided pizza, wings and little sandwich squares. Everyone at the event went back for seconds (and some thirds!). After that event I made a point to bookmark this place and have since ordered food from here a few times. It's become a staple of our "What do we want for movie night?" nights. Everything here is just good. Pizza? Good. Fried apps? Good. Sandwiches? Yup, good. And they carry Boars Head deli meats, which seems rare around this area. I really can't say enough about that; it's a BIG deal to me, lol. And last but not least: the wings. These are hands down my favorite wings in this area I've ever had. Cooked perfectly and their sauces (there are a ton of choices) are super tasty. Oh and they do not cheap out on the dipping sauces, they load you up. An added bonus is that the owner is very friendly and cares about making your experience a good one. The very first time we ordered from here, there was a mix up with our order (no one's fault, just a misunderstanding). When he found out , he went out of his way to make it right. It made a great impression and is another reason I'm a repeat customer. read more
