    20 years and they never fail. Consistent service and food. Great "Old Town location and vibes. I always get the Downtown Deli with chicken. Hubby had a Mother Clucker for the first time. He loved it. He's been getting the 278 Traffic Jam for 20 years. This is a change for him.

    this place is actually pretty decent food here is really good I would highly recommend it to anyone that wants a quick bite a little on the pricey side but that's what you get food for two people. Definitely will be returning

    Caprese Sandwich

    SUCH A GOOD SANDWICH. I will tell you what, sandwiches are such an underrated food of choice. These sandwiches made me want a sandwich everyday for the rest of my life!!!! Everything was toasted to perfection, and the flavors were an explosion in your mouth!! My biggest complaint was that every sandwich looked so good that it was hard to choose! We went around 1PM and the store was packed for seating but you are able to order to go or pickup and it took about 5-10 minutes for our order to be ready.

    We heard about Downtown Deli from many friends, and finally tried it! The atmosphere is fantastic - the restaurant itself is really neat and modern, while still feeling homey. I tried the BLT with pimento cheese and it was devine. The pimento cheese is perfect - not too many pimentos or mayo - just right! There was TONS of bacon (you can never go wrong) and the lettuce was shredded, which I appreciated! Not a huge honking leaf on my sandwich to overwhelm everything else. My son loved his grilled cheese and fries (raving review from a picky toddler), but his most favorite thing was the pink lemonade. Start to finish, our experience was wonderful. We'll be back for sure!!

    Alvin Ord's of Bluffton - Roast Beef & Turkey with everything, plus banana peppers

    Alvin Ord's of Bluffton is my favorite sandwich shop of all time, period. The sandwiches are…read moreconsistently, insanely good. The bread they use is similar to an airy pizza crust, and topped with their three blends of cheese that are melted onto the bread before the meats and toppings are added. I've had almost the entire menu over the years, but my favorite is the simple sliced turkey, with lettuce, tomato (which I opt out of sometimes just because I'm not a huge tomato on a sandwich guy, unless it's an actual tomato sandwich...), onion, and then I ask to add their garlic mayo and banana peppers, and sometimes jalapeños. Their turkey club is a second favorite if I'm craving bacon on my sandwich (they also have a jalapeño bacon!). Their other deli sandwiches are great, like the original with a mix of luncheon and other deli meats. I love their lesser known meatball sandwich and cheeseburger. My wife's favorite is the pastrami. The staff at Alvin Ord's are some of the nicest folks I've met in the restaurant industry, and they're always super helpful to new and old customers alike. The vibe of the shop is like a little beachside surf shop, super casual and comfy, with indoor seating at mismatched tables, along with two screened in porches--one that's dog friendly. I can't recommend this place enough. I'd eat here every other day if I could--and that's only because I usually turn my regular sized sandwich into two days of lunch.

    Picked up a large French Dip and when I got home and opened the box, Wow! It was hugh! The size…read morematched the flavor. So good. Definitely recommend
