On Rye Deli

I like the BBQ roast beef and chicken salad sandwich. Good choice for lunch!

I come here just about everyday for lunch during the week and I have absolutely never been disappointed.
I’ve had just about half their menu and my go to is the tuna melt on marble rye. PERFECT! No fillers or too much mayo, just right!
They also know me by name and greet me every time I walk in the door.
This place is absolutely worth a try, between fantastic service and mouth watering food, you can’t go wrong!

Great food… yes a little wait if you go but to me the food
is definitely worth it! Staff is less than friendly,
The owner always remembers faces and order. Worth the 20 minute drive.

Turkey Club is OK but skip the mac n cheese.
I have to agree with other reviews about excessive wait times for orders. I, too sensed a bias towards making the take out orders ahead of other orders. We just waited 20 minutes for a turkey club and the mac n cheese. The club was tasty, with plenty of meat and fresh bread. «Homemade» mac n cheese? I doubt it. It’s served in a small microwavable plastic container not unlike a Stouffer’s entrée. And it tasted like a Stouffer’s, with tomato slices and some cheese added. I may return, if I again have the $ 5.00
coupon. But I won’t order the mac n cheese again.
The elderly gentleman playing the accordion this day was nice, though.

They make a great sandwich, much better than the other options in this area, which are largely corporate fast food joints.
The meatball sandwich on a roll is particularly tasty.
Prices are a little high, but the sandwiches are quality. Call ahead if you are in a rush, they make it when you order it, and this place does get busy.

Food is OK but this place gets really busy and they don’t seem to have enough hands on deck to keep up, so at lunchtime you can end up waiting for 20 – 25 minutes to get a simple sandwich. When your lunch break is limited, standing around this place waiting for your order can be a huge bummer.

I don’t understand all of these bad reviews. The place makes a good sandwich. I have never been blown away but have never been dissatisfied either. It’s a good deli that makes pretty good sandwiches and they are pretty big too. The pickles are great. I think people need to relax because i have never had a poor experience there in any aspect.

The bread was fresh, but the meat was very bland. The service is slow; like the employees had just woken up from a nap. Plus, they serve the takeout orders first, regardless of who ordered first. We were eating in and watches 5 takeout orders from behind us in line get their food first. Over all, not horrible, but definitely not good enough to make me want to go back.

All set with this place. every time I have gone the people at the counter are miserable and act like you are bothering them. I wasn’t given a number when I called in my food and the lady today seemed irritated she had to look for it. The previous times I have been the others at the counter were also miserable. Too. bad the service is so unfriendly because The sandwiches aren’t that bad. A co. worker of mine had got take out and they confirmed her sandwich. She got
the office and it was wrong. She callled and they basically said oh sorry. They didn’t offer to deliver a correct one seeing as they have delivery, didn’t offer to get her a free sandwich next time. Just feel they should step up the customer service before they lose more customers because of it.

I need to tell you a great story about the owner of this fabulous deli. First of all, if you are looking for the best deli menu this side of NYC, it is here!
As you may or may not know, I am a big proponent of Public Transportation and often go to my clients offices by bus, train or taxi. On any given day I do all three plus walk to fit in my exercise. The night before I usually map out where I am going and try to find Points of Interest, just in case I get to my appointment early. Last night I did not do the usual prep for where could I grab breakfast of coffee, knowing that I would be at least 1 hour early.
Today, as I got to my appointment early, and not knowing much about the area, I arrived at the open door of this deli at 7:50 am thinking it may not be open.
As it turns out, It wasn’t open yet for business but the owner welcomed me in and put on a pot of coffee. Turns out he was in early preparing for a large order for later. He then offered me a bagel (Parmesan) which was delicious and told me he appreciated the company as he worked.
What stands out the most to me was his willingness to be helpful as well as kind as he was right in the middle of his preparations. I will come back again to try what he was making, my favorite sandwich, the Reuben.
Thank you

Usually use them for business lunches so we tried them for catering, food was out of this world for the price. You defiantly get more bang for your buck here.

We waited a really long time for our lunch so I was pretty much put off by this place before I even started eating.
My salad was average. I don’t remember exactly what it was called but it was a special that day and it was a green salad with cranberries, toasted cashews (yuck, I picked them off one by one — I thought it said almonds on the menu) and chicken salad. Though the taste of the chicken salad was good, it was the kind of chicken salad that has no chunks at all but is more like the consistency of paste. Not a fan of that texture.
My husband had a roast beef sandwich which looked to me to be positively average.
Some of the hot menu items sounded great so I do think we may have had better luck had we gone that route.

This is located in the Rite Aid Plaza.
On Rye Deli takes quite a few phone orders so you might not get acknowledged right away when you walk in. They usually have a couple people who make sandwiches and 3 or 4 people who take phone orders, bag up the orders and work the counter. I like that the people who make food don’t handle money. There are 2 lines– one for placing an order and the other for picking up a phone order. If you want a bottled drink get it out of the refrigerator before you get in line. They also have fountain sodas.
Seating is at small tables and the vibe here is that people need to eat and get back to work. There are a couple of outside tables on the sidewalk but the view is of the parking lot.
Recommended orders would be tuna fish on marble rye, turkey sandwich, egg salad on dark rye, meatball sub. In true deli style they serve pickles with every sandwich. Chicken Waldorf salad is awesome but it’s only available as a weekly special.
They offer two ways to get a discount– you can get a menu faxed to you once a week that has a coupon on it or you can get a card that they punch every visit and when it’s full you get a free sandwich.
Quirky charm– their menu is obviously printed by a company that prints church bulletins.

I am a fan. Great sandwiches (the On Rye club is amazing). As the previous reviewer stated, they are a bit slow, but that’s my only gripe. This is the only place of its kind in the area. I eat here 3x a week.

I’ve been driving by this place for a couple years (the access is terrible depending on the direction you’re going) and finally decided to give it a whirl. Big mistake. When I walked into the deli at 12:30pm there were 2 other customers inside, one seated eating and another inline waiting. It took the girl over 10 minutes to acknowledge me and take my order and another 15 to get my sandwich. I know it was lunch hour but this was a deli and they seemed to have plenty of help with 3 people cooking and 2 others working the counter. I ordered a pastrami on a bulky roll with spicy mustard. When I opened up the bag in the car I noticed my sandwich was very flat (strange for a bulky?) It had been placed in a panini machine and crushed. There were no paninis listed on the menu and I didn’t ask for this service. I’ll stick to my regular lunch haunts from now on (That’s Italian in Weymouth rocks)
