Obsessed is an understatement! This place is SO GOOD! The waitresses are hilarious and nice, and they have the largest and tastiest sweet tea you'll ever have. And they keep em coming! We were craving a regular cheeseburger, and happened to see this place had good recommendations. So glad we stopped in. It's a little in the cuts, behind the bridge leaving Sanford to head to Deland, and if you aren't paying attention you might miss it. But when you get there you're blown away by the quaintness of it, the gorgeous view, and true southern hospitality. The menu is extensive, and the boast that they have the best Philly in town (will have to try it), and they also serve breakfast all day on Sundays. Oh, I totally forgot to mention that some deity must supply the veggies cause they taste heaven sent. My bf that doesn't even like tomatoes commented about how fresh and tiny they were. We got two cheeseburgers, 2 fries, and 2 drinks for under $20. Can't be beat! read more

Good food, good service, and extremely reasonably priced. It's a bit off the beaten trail but worth the trip (it's fairly close to the Aldi's/BJs on rte 46 but down a side road) . It appeared to be a lot of boaters coming and going too. Friendly crowd with what appeared to be folks coming back from previous visits. The kitchen is small, and the place gets busy with diners and folks coming in for "to go" orders. So, pack your patience as the food, portions, and prices are worth the wait. The indoor dining area has about 6 tables and there are more tables outside, undercover, with ceiling fans. We had their burger, side salad and a breakfast burrito. We'll be back for more. read more

5 stars for the quick convenient to go order we placed. It was a BEAUTIFUL day to sit out on their porch and look out on the water We ordered a sausage egg and cheese on an english muffin with home fries. The sandwich was so hot and the egg was so fluffy! Not that fake egg in the carton which is huge deals to me. Picture doesn't do it Justice but if you want a quick little breakfast not a bad move. Paid $7.38 for this , good deal in my book read more

Lovely outdoor setting with delicious food, I had the chicken pita wrap. It was excellent.

Haven't had the double cheese in a long time and wow it was cooked perfectly. Fries for a change was large and cooked just the way I like. read more

Super cute casual restaurant. Emphasis on the casual. Seat yourself and pay at the counter. Full of funny sarcastic signs and everyone working there has a sarcastic shirt on. We both had the breakfast burritos and they were FILLING! The side of biscuits and gravy were good too. We came across it randomly, but it is so clear that this will be such a fun place to go for dinner/drinks. Next time we are I. Sanford, we will be back! read more

Definitely our new spot when boating on the St. John's / Lake Monroe. Our server was so nice and welcoming, the food was fairly priced and DELICIOUS. Hubs got the chicken philly w tots, which I of course stole a bite of and it had amazing flavor and the tots were perfect, not greasy but great crunch. I had the BLT and it was full of bacon, perfect ratio of lettuce + tomato. We will absolutely be back often! read more

The best Philly cheese steak I've ever had! The bread is amazing. I recommend getting a side of the au gus sauce. Such a hidden gem. read more

Simple food made by Connie and not overpriced.nice cozy spot by the St. John's river.

Great Philly cheesesteaks! ...and I love their potato salad - would definitely go back!

Sherri the best waitress in Sanford recommended the egg salad sandwich- it's made to order and will remind you of moms! The view nice with a screened in porch to keep the bugs out or under a patio. It's homey, delish and very reasonably priced. If your looking for a local restaurant to support - this is a great choice! read more

Great food at a great price right on the water. The service was top notch and I couldn't have been happier choosing a locally owned place.

We ate at The Deli every morning for breakfast; and, we enjoyed the coffee, the food, and the friendly service. We got so comfortable that we helped ourselves to refills one day when it was particularly busy. But, on the other days, the servers and the owner were quick with the refills, providing lots of chilled half-and-half as needed. The Corned Beef is incredible; and, they cooked it "extra crispy" for me every time. My wife and I returned when we were in Sanford over the weekend; and, we took the courtesy van over for breakfast. She and I loved our food and coffee; and, appreciated the spectacular service. Connie is such a delight; and, she even opened the door early to let us; and, a few other folks that were waiting, in. If it were cooler outside, I know we'd enjoy sitting out in the screened-in patio; but, for August, we dined inside! read more

Connie is awesome. Good food for a fair price. Great view of the beautiful St Johns river.

Everybody loves the DELI. By Land or Sea the girls make it for you and me. Their specials are straight forward and real home made cooking. For a snack or a meal stop by and enjoy a smile. read more

Great value Nasty waitress Food pretty good bit waitress in a foul mood Love the view and the porch read more

Great place to stop off of I-4. Omelette was delicious and so were the Philly Cheesesteaks. Small mom and pop restaurant on the water. Easy to get on and off highway and fast friendly service. Very affordable and love helping locally owned restaurants. We will be back next time we are driving through for sure! read more

Great food, great prices. Friendly staff. Lots of food per order. Nice scenic location and quick preparation.

Lots of options, nothing fancy but fresh made sandwiches, burgers, salads, fried food and great beer specials. Decent breakfast menu as well. Flip flops are optional. Very reasonably priced. Check out the menu pics. Connie runs a tight ship. Life preserver mounted on the wall in case of flooding. Check it out when in Sanford. read more

Really good food, super friendly staff and beautiful view. Did I mentioned their food is awesome! Try their key lime pie.

I love the staff and relaxed atmosphere. We always get the same thing, a turkey breakfast sandwich on a Kaiser roll and my boyfriend gets French toast. Their coffee and sweet tea are delicious too. Great food, great service. read more

Cute Mom and Pop diner. Staff is very friendly. The food was good. My only complaint is that when you sit outside, expect to smell smoke. There are several people smoking outside. It's a shame because I wanted to bring friends and family here when they come to visit, but they wouldn't put up with the smoke. Otherwise, nice, little place. read more

The Deli - Partial menu - Delis Near Me - Sanford, Florida

Hands down an amazing place and great friendly atmosphere. Connie the owner is even more incredible. A must try is their egg salad sandwich, Reuben sandwich, and basically everything on the menu. The secret sauce is a must try too. But leave room for key lime pie. Seriously. We came in from oklahoma and Texas and found them gem!! It's a must try. Would highly recommend. read more

Cheesesteak ok. Portion of fries pathetic. Onion rings too. Steak wrap meat was cold. Couldn't find the sauce. Won't be back

Great locals place off the beaten path. We stumbled across this little gem while staying on a boat for a few days. The ladies working were super friendly and provided great service. We had coffee, the breakfast pita with home fries and a steak n cheese with tater tots. Food was delicious a priced just right! Indoor and outdoor seating available. read more

Would not recommend this place for breakfast. The biscuits and sausage gravy tasted like thanksgiving dinner with canned beef gravy on top of a small pillsbury biscuit. Inedible. The bagel breakfast sandwich was barely a step up from Dunkin donuts. The cheese was still hard and not melted. The beef hash was fatty and not very good. The home fries were greasy and mushy. Couldn't finish it. Hopefully the lunch items are better than breakfast. read more

The coffee gave me explosive diarrhea. I will never be back. The tall lady was very nice. The sarcastic parking nazi not so much.

if u want to go broke this is the place to be only thing being busted is my balls not my stomach still hungry tiny hotdog probably getting 400% profit on all meals in still hungry af read more

Close to the water and boats that's what drew me to area first but the Food, Atmosphere and Service keep me coming back. Inside seating, screened in patio with fans or outside under overhang- take your choice, order and enjoy great food and I know you will go back again and again read more

Been coming here for years and always awesome service and great food. Cold beer you can't go wrong

We are not from here, so we were deciding where to eat after going to the Central Florida Zoo. We came upon this place and decided to stop. We were seated fast and got our drink orders in. We all got the iced tea, which they brew right there and comes in Sweet or Unsweetened. I got the Philly Cheesesteak, which is what seemed to be the big hit there. It was probably one of the best Phillys I've had in my life. Prices aren't bad either. Best restaurant in the area! read more

Passing through town, wanted good food not fried and heavy, I saw the club sandwich online so we stopped. First off, wicked cool location right at the marina docks. The staff was super nice and it's run really well. Second, the food was fantastic. We had a hot dog, the best burger on the river, a turkey club and the best Philly steak in town (haven't had any others in this area but it was better than the best place in downtown Philly, so what's that say!). Lastly, prices were great. We fed our family of 4 for under $30. If you're in the area definitely stop by, you won't be disappointed!!! read more

One of the best Philly sandwiches I've ever had! That said this place could use some sprucing up. View of the water but also some sort of industrial plant. The owner is very friendly. There are people smoking outside so if you don't like that there is also an inside dining option. read more

Good "greasy spoon" diner dining at its best. Staff is friendly and service was prompt. Nice location on Lake Monroe. The only comment for improvement is if they could get the grease smell out of the air. I will be back! read more

Good food, friendly people and a beautiful view. You can even eat on the back porch with the kitty! read more

We're looking for somewhere to eat and selected this restaurant. It is out of the way but was pleased with the food. The menu has a broad selection and prices very reasonable. My hubby had the Egg salad which was freshly made. He said it was the best he has had. It is a very casual place. read more

My parents and I enjoyed a lunch here on a recent trip to Florida. Sandwiches were good, salad had a decent mix of vegetables (but not so much variety that it scared my vegetable-averse father). Key lime pie was perfectly sour and sweet. The service is fast and down-home (as in, be prepared for a little good natured razzing, as one should be at a small diner). The diner is tucked in a little marina. It's easy to think you're headed into the water if you're following your phone, but don't let that keep you away. read more
