river street deli

this is a great new york deli that must have magically ended upon river st in chattanooga instead of in down town new york. everything here is authentic from the atmosphere to thefoodto the staff. a great variety of filling sandwiches and reasonable prices make this a great lunch spot.

wow!. really amazingfoodhere guys. would love to see a facelift, but if you're ever downtown, this is the place to satisfy your appetite.

great food. thefoodis great. all our sandwiches were great, the black bean soup was great, the price is great....... now if someone would just throw some paint on the walls and clean the place up a little....

i'm always torn when i go to this place. thefoodis really delicious, but a majority of the staff and owner are always exceptionally and consistently rude. i always feel rushed whenever i order either in the store or over the phone for take out. i'm usually very understanding about these kind of things because i've worked in restaurants my whole life, but i don't appreciate feeling like they don't have the time to be courteous or appreciate the fact that i'm a frequent customer willing to pay good money for a service. being prompt and efficient doesn't mean you have to be short or rude to the customer. i doubt i will be returning because of the poor customer service i received on my last visit. i would recommend that if you want customers to return, you should not treat them as a bother, but as a valued guest. goodfoodisn't worth having to fight for your right to be treated decently when you haven't done anything to warrant that kind of treatment.

great find, thefoodis tasty and fresh. bruce, knows what his making. we will surely be back.

greatfoodand stromboli nice amazing service will stop every time i am in chattanooga.

best lunch, best chef - great place. if you're looking for fancy and expensive, go find another place, but if you're into good value, delicious food, and a down home feeling, you've come to the right place. the river street deli is a hidden gem- a real find.

i've been to chattanooga on business ten times in the past twelve years, each time for 5-10 days, and any time i'm not needed at a lunch conference at the client's place, this is my 'go to' lunch place. i don't bother going anywhere else for lunch anymore.

thefoodis consistently terrific. i've had the stromboli, the muffulleta, the reuben, the panini, the meat loaf, lots of salads............. .the list goes on. i've never been disappointed. every time i go back there i feel like i discovered hidden treasure.

bruce, the owner and chef, seems to know everybody in town and makes you feel like you found a home away from home. it's not fancy, but this place is a winner and hits the spot time and time again.

epic sandwiches. ...like the muffulleta, panko-breaded chicken, or the amazing vegetarian sandwich i had here once. they are delicious, and enormous, with fresh toppings and great bread. the soup is good too. great prices for the amount offoodyou get. i usually get what's on special, and it's never been anything but good.

fantastic!. not much more to add besides what's been said. this place serves up greatfoodin a no-nonsense setting, for a decent price. i always get whatever sandwich is on special. a friend told me the specials are often decided based on what they have "leftovers" of, but i've yet to be disappointed by one! my favorites are stromboli and grilled meatloaf sandwich. staff may appear intimidating based on sheer tattoo count, but they're generally friendly.

always take bruce's recommendation. a great deli with fantastic sandwiches, fresh salads, and awesome food. run like any neighborhood deli you'd find in large cities, chattanooga is lucky to have an innovative great chef like bruce who creates hearty tasty treats for lunch and the special dinners on friday and saturday nights.

stromboli and fruttata that is out of this world. he features lunch specials and reaches that i always find to be a hit. bruce expands greatfoodin chattanooga reaching to cuisines and styles from all over the world to create his dishes. try it once you'll want to come back again. this place makes you feel good. thefoodand bruce will put you in a better frame of mind and body
