The Deli Stop Sports Pub

I visited the Deli Stop several times recently. The employees are very kind and the food is delicious. Wish they served salads. They have a great assortment of beer which is nice.

Great place to meet friends and enjoy a beer. Casual atmosphere, friendly staff, and maybe 10 beers on tap. They have cider too, if that is your thing. It’s nice to have a low key neighborhood bar. Enjoy!

Good sandwiches at a good price (not great sandwiches and not a great price otherwise I would have given 5 stars). Friendly customer service. Plenty of beer options. They have WiFi and are cool about people lingering as long as the tables aren’t needed for diners.

Very good neighborhood sports bar with solid burgers and great surface. Plenty of beers on tap and good views of the TV to catch a football game. All of the food I’ve tried here was tasty– will definitely be back again.

This is a great little local place. The owner supports kids in our community. Very good beer selection for a small, local deli. The people who work there are friendly too.

This particular pub is pretty chill and has good food. I had their hamburger, made it a combo and sat down to watch the game with my husband. Both our plates came with mountains of fries! There is plenty of seating indoor/​outdoor. I would definitely come back, especially to try their tuna on squaw sandwich!

This deli shop is just has good if not better than the Jersey Mike’s franchise shop next door. They can put together a pretty mean sandwich and you could enjoy your sports team on their big screen TV from the bar or tables. They have a pretty nice layout and patio for their patrons to enjoy their meals. Just remember if you’re going for a sandwich at Jersey Mike’s and see only 3 employees working the counter and a long line. You should consider the shop next door. Usually no line and your sandwiches can be custom made to order as well. ;-)

The food was good but everything else was horrible. Last week I went to check this place out to watch the Charger game since it’s very close to my house. I understood right away the service was going to be slower because there was only 2 people doing everything and that’s not easy. However, waiting for 10 minutes at the bar to get one drink is not fun and gets old. When the Charger game started they didn’t even put the charger game on the big tv despite several requests from different people. They played the Bronco game really? The family sitting next to me were pissed too. I will never go back to this place after all that. It’s just not worth it.

Really kind lady that was quick to help out with food. Looks like a good olé fashion bar, but the deli kitchen is to the side of the bar. Great combination of sports with a deli feel outside. Went there for lunch, so can’t really say much for how busy it is. Their original turkey sandwich was delicious though. They also seem to have some really good deals for certain days of the week.

This place is ON POINT! Love the food and they have a GREAT beer selection!!! The staff is friendly and it’s overall a great place to hang out. Highly recommend it!

Food is just alright. We were hungry. We ate. We shared a bacon cheeseburger and a chicken philly. I did like the flavor of the philly over the burger. Had to take the top bun off though. Too much bun to meat ratio.

I’m normally not one to order sandwiches at a restaurant — I can make a fine sandwich at home. But the deli stops sandwiches are on point!
I ordered the turkey club, which in it of itself is nothing fancy but is pretty dang delicious. It comes with some excellent crisp bacon, lettuce, tomato, mayo, and a sweet sauce that may not appeal to some but I found it to be a nice little something something. And the bread was soft and tasty and just slightly toasted to give it just enough firmness. Yums.
Unfortunately they were out of garlic fries and the Cajun fries were nasty :/​regular fries were good, nothing special. onion rings were nice.
The place itself is nothing fancy, a typical neighborhood bar with a decent selection of beers on tap. Prices are fair (sandwiches 6 – 7 $) and all the workers are very very nice!

I love this place. So close to home and a great place for a burger, sandwich, fries and beer. Definitely a local’s spot with the Padres or Chargers on TV. They keep building other competing restaurants to that shopping center, but this place survives because it’s the best.

Just stopped by and we were sad the doors weren’t open yet. However, the fill in Sunday person (sweet lady sorry we didn’t get her name) let us in and made us a burger and sandwich. We tried to leave here tip but she refused. We have never been disappointed!!!

Best Ruben in town. Great view of black Mtn. Decent craft beers on tap but staff can be slow. Usually just one person working in here who plays bartender and cook at the same time. The TVs suck. the walls and carpet suck. This place needs bar rescue in a bad way.

Went here for lunch and was pleasantly surprised! Super delicious sandwich and a chill vibe. Really loved the food and the atmosphere!

I have been coming here since I was kid & now I bring my lil ones. They have all new games! I love the beers on tap & the great food. Family owned & opperated, so why go to Jersey Mikes next door? No reason. I am enjoying an IPA & eating an Italian sub today.

The Deli Sports Pub is the place to go for a bite and a beer. Although the place does not look as good as it can, I enjoy the atmosphere and the friendly workers. All the beer are from local breweries and they are amazing. The food is good as well. I suggest the Cajon garlic fries, a little sloppy, which I don’t mind, but delicious.

So… my review for this place must be taken with a grain of salt. I had been to the Deli Stop years before and had take out cajun fries (recommended by a friend), and recently came back and ordered the same thing.
I assume that the ownership of this place has changed, as it was very different than I remember it being. It’s really a dive-​y bar, and not a place to get takeout (although the cashier/​cook had no hesitations with our takeout order). The fries we got were soggy, and had clearly just come from a jumbo frozen bag and drenched in what they called ‘cajun’ seasoning. The seasoning was not any sort of powder or dry seasoning, but was more like a buffalo sauce that drenched the fries and made them extremely unappealing.
We felt out of place as soon as we walked in here, but felt like we had to order since we had already walked in and been seen by the cashier. It’s a random spot to have a bar in PQ, but might be a good spot to grab a beer on a weekend.
This is not my style, and probably not a place I would come back to. However I can see how this would be a fun spot to hang out for those who’re more into drinking beer.

Hidden Gem Alert! My search for the perfect Deli in North County may finally be over. I like to think of it as a deli first because the sandwiches are the rockstars here, but the fact that you can get a craft beer and watch some sports whilst face down in a world class ‘wich makes it even better! And what this? Old school video games too?
The #1 rule when ordering somewhere new is to ask what the server eats when he’s hungry. He’s not going to lie to you. It’s best not to take chances on a novelty impulse. He was really enthusiastic about the Chicago Hot Italian Beef so onward we march. I’ve never been to Chicago but hell I haven’t tasted a deli sandwich this good since I was touring in a rock band so I figure this must be as close to the real thing this side of the Mississippi. Has all the elements: Crunchy, Chewy, Cheesy. The jardinière was perfect and spicy. Great bread and meat quality. A must. All the signs of a business that cares about the authenticity of what you’re eating. That’s how the great one’s do it, right?
Garlic Fries: Perfectly crispy and not over-​starchy. Light. The Garlic is fresh, not slimy and wet like Gordon Biersch. I finished the whole basket with a friend and surprisingly didn’t feel like a tank afterwards.
Overall a great experience. Friday lunch service was fast. Easy access to condiments. Establishment is friendly. Plenty of seats. Plenty of TVs. Parking’s good. Location is good. Haven’t tried the craft beers yet. The thing I like most is Deli Stop isn’t try hard. They just are what they are.
I’ll be back to try the Smoked Turkey Avo and the rest of the menu. Trust.
