Famous Delly Boys

What the heck happened to this place? Are there new owners? Went there on a Sunday afternoon, lots of customers and only 1 waitress who was so new she didn’t know what a BLT was! Clearly had no training, not her fault but we ordered a BLT and a grilled cheese and the poor girl didn’t know which sandwich was which. I have no problem with new staff learning the ropes but why did management put the poor girl all alone on a Sunday?
I overheard a few customers complaining loudly about the poor service and how long they were waiting.

Ordered a smoked meat sandwich, old fashioned, lean and a black cherry. Simple. Loved it. Ordered a second one. Loved it too.
Price is reasonable too.
Excellent.

Awful. This place has truly hit rock bottom. Growing up I use to live and breathe this place, now I’m lucky if I don’t go there by accident forgetting how garbage it is. Ordered the pizza, crust was extremely thin and crunchy, almost no cheese. Also got the small poutine, container was filled 60% of the way, the gravy was like water and the fries were so soggy I thought I was going to explode. My brother got a salad, with no dressing, and another order of soggy fries. All in all a terrible experience. And I will (hopefully) never order from this place ever again.

In no way was this meal at Delly Boys groundbreaking or monumental. I wasn’t around 50 years ago when the place opened, but I can almost guarantee you that the menu probably hasn’t changed munch. Granted, less deli-​like items have been added to the menu through the years I can assume — pizza, pastas, and six different kinds of poutine.
Delly boys isn’t trying to be something it’s not, because it isn’t anything other than a deli — one that’s been around for nearly 50 years — they’re serving what people want, and the people want what they serve.

I have been to this place about maybe 2 times, on my once frequent visits to Canada. Once, we had deli sandwiches to go, and the other we ate breakfast there.
What to expect/​About this place:
You can expect a regular mom n pop owned Cote san luc deli place, with friendly people and also a sit down restaurant.
Breakfast:
Here, you can expect your average breakfast (i.e Eggs, Bagels, Pancakes etc…). Our waitress was pretty friendly, however the food wasn’t too good. I remember having a bagel with cream cheese, and the crème cheese tasted somewhat sour and weird.
Sandwiches to go:
The sandwiches on the other hand were much better. They have a great over the counter service, and lots of choices of meats and cheeses too. I ended up getting
a turkey sandwich with cheddar cheese which was great!
Other comments I have to make:
As I have read in other Unilocalers reviews, this place opened in 1962, correct? Well I can kind of tell that this place defiantly need to be refurbished. That’s why I rate Delly Boys 3 stars.

Classic deli for sure. I love to pop in here for some to-​go potato knishes, or a greasy breakfast, or both. The booths are cozy, the service is warm. If you come in here looking for anything beyond your (very) basic jewish delights and deli staples, you might want to turn back now. There’s nothing fancy, avant garde or even great about this place, but that’s why it’s good.

Service was cheerful, if slow. The smoked meat sandwich, medium, was cold and tasteless. The turkey with Swiss was tasteless as well.
Neither of us finished our sandwiches. Oh, and the mustard was requested but somehow forgotten.
While this place is convenient for us, whenever we want a good smoked meat sandwich, we will certainly NOT be coming back here. Shamefull.
