river street deli

phenomenal! had lunch with my son the foodie and we were both blown away! highly suggest. not too much atmosphere but great quality. will definitely visit nexttimewe're downtown.

lunchtimetoday. to start i'm not sure i've tried so hard to find a place. just me as after i did i'm awfully glad i persisted and made it. if you go look for the building that says "hardware " in black letters. the entrance iss under a set of blue stairs. order at one end pay and pickup at the other end. clearly a lunch hotspot so go early. by 12:15 people were looking for a place to sit.

i had the roast beef sandwich! possibly the 2nd best sandwich i've ever eaten. the beef was mid rare and with arugula and gorgon zola cheese. seriously delicious. i ate every morsel. the guy at the counter talk me into a small cup of soup. $2.00. again. ..very very flavorful with some mozzarella shaved into a vegetable base soup. seasoned bread squares for crackers.

$8.95 for the sandwich and total with a soda was 14.00.

i'm always torn when i go to this place. the food is 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 thetimeto 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. good food isn'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 food and stromboli nice amazing service will stop everytimei 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, eachtimefor 5-10 days, and anytimei'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.

the food is 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. everytimei 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 spottimeandtimeagain.

dines at rsd for the firsttimetoday. the sandwiches were awesome and big! and service was way fast, even though it was crowded with the after church crowd and the visiting head of the hooch folks...will definitely return soon!

online menu prices don't match reality. dropped in today to try this place out and am regretting the decision. i had looked at the menu online and decided on a $6.95 sandwich, but at the till my total was $9! i asked for a receipt and the sandwich rang up at $8.25 instead. i was in a rush so didn't havetimeto question it, and thought perhaps i'd remembered wrong, but no, online menu still says the lower price. the sandwich is good and possibly enough for two lunches, but still, very misleading. wish i'd stayed to ask and make sure and get my money back. i won't be going again, not with so many other lunch options in the area.

top-notch deli.. amidst many places in the south that don't understand what a deli is supposed to be, this place gets it. i try to make a stop through here anytimei am in chattanooga around lunch time. river street's muffaletta is the best of two worlds: (1) the olive paste is right up there with any in the big easy, and (2) the meat holds up as well as nyc's best. also give any of their fresh salads a try; the black eyed pea salad gets big ups from these taste buds.
