Dave's Deli & Catering

I decided to try out Dave's Deli & Catering it's located a block away from the East L..A. courthouse and also the Metro Gold line in East L.A... I was very curious about Dave's Deli my wife and I went to have lunch at Juan's Rotisserie Pollo it's next door. They have the menu on the windows showing what of kind of hot and cold sandwich including salads and other items they make in the restaurant. They everything they made is fresh and made to order and also they high quality meats from Boar's Head one of my favorite Deli meats. I decided to order the turkey Sandwich with provolone cheese with everything including Persian cucumber. I got my sandwich then I took it home when I arrived I took a bite of my sandwich it took really good I really enjoy the turkey meat was really high quality turkey meat with good flavors and bread was soft and airy with other ingredients like the provolone cheese,lettuce,tomatoes and Persian cucumber were very delicious by the way I order the large it's big. Next when go again to Dave's Deli I need to try a different sandwich.

A bit on the pricey side, but great service and delicious food! It was a delight when I stumbled on Dave’s Deli. I decided to try it out, and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of sandwich that I got. It is definitely on par with the other well-known deli shops in town! I ordered the Italian Hero on a French baguette with all the trimmings. I’m going back to try the Meat Ball or Dave’s Favorite next time! Keep up the great work...

Love this place very healthy choices to eat from!

Nice, that Tomato Soup is exactly what a few of the Top restaurants in the country use. Highly addictive! I rate it a 9 out of 10. I travel a lot and I’m coming back. Everything was great, I just had to tell the tomato soup chasers about this… Hang onto this recipe Dave, very good. Over all this place is a Hidden Secret.

Today was my first time eating at Dave's Deli. I was getting a drink from coffee bean/tea leaf and saw Dave's Deli and thought I think I'll give them a try. Oh my gosh, I'm so glad I did! Dave's Deli is great. I ordered the Cajun Turkey sandwich and clam chowder. The sandwich was delicious and the clam chowder is just phenomenal. I will definitely be back! YUM!!!!

They don't say that they put mayonnaise and mustard on everything but they do. They put it on my sandwich even though I didn't ask for any, waste of my money, time and a waste of food. $15 for that sandwich? I would've been better off going across town to Jimmy Johns AND IT WOULD'VE BEEN CHEAPER!! MAKE CLEAR WHAT YOU'RE PUTTING ON YOUR SANDWICHES PLEASE

Food is amazing and service is quick. There is no indoor seating nor a bathroom. And it SUCKS that they are closed on the weekends and close early Monday through Friday (3 pm), but I guess that comes with it all.

Staff is incredibly friendly. I was greeted by Dari and George. Two beautiful for themselves.

There is ample parking and other shops nearby and there is lots of shade over the tables

I went a couple months ago for my first time and I absolutely loved it!!! I have gone back several times since the salsalito turkey sandwich is my favorite!!!!

Service was great and our food came out rather quickly. Came here with a friend and she got the chicken caesar wrap and I got the avocado turkey wrap. Both of them were home runs. They come cut in half so we shared each other's sandwich. They have outside seating which is nice. They have plenty of drinks ranging from water to soda and coffee. I will definitely be back and try there other sandwiches.

Ambiance: This place is much smaller than I thought, no seating, and not many places to stand. Kinda gives small corner store deli vibes. Service: Very nice, patient, and helpful. I appreciated the suggestions and advice about my sandwich selection. Food: I went with the Chipotle chicken Philly combo, and I wasn't really impressed. When I heard chicken Philly, I didn't have this in mind, and the bread to filling ratio was off. It ended up just tasting like a regular chicken sandwich with peppers and onions. Overall, the sandwich was decent, just not what I expected.

Dave's deli is located in a small shopping center and easily accessible. It's actually across the street from the east Los Angeles Courthouse- There is space to sit outside and enjoy the sun while you wait or if you decide to eat outside. The deli meats are delicious- made by boars head - you can't go wrong - there are many choices of breads or wraps. Dave's has plenty to choose from to add to your sandwich. BUUUT They have more than sandwiches; there are many delicious foods such as pizza breakfasts and soups! My favorite is the chicken and barley soup is simple yet flavorful and hearty!!! The sizes are 8oz all the way to 32oz to go Along with a side of garlic bread! A definite place to try

I love this place! Enough that I have tried many different items at this location. Notable items Toasted turkey bacon avocado: delicious tasting. Just a simple and tasty sandwich Waldorf salad: honestly a jr. Size is good enough. Comes with fruit and makes it very refreshing Vanilla coffee: cheap and just sweet enough! Better price than coffee bean if you're into flavors like iced vanilla latte. Clam chowder: SO freaking AMAZING. The best I've had because they are NOT stingy with how much clams and items they put into the soup Tomato basil: also a very good choice! Sometimes comes with pita bread and sometimes comes with garlic bread. Just depends on their availability. Chicken avocado salad- good. Can't go wrong there. Turkey Jack panini- was told this was a favorite. I liked the chipotle mayo. Gives you a little spice. Not my faves: Chicken Cesar wrap: the wrap was a bit thick, I think maybe it was made if wheat or something? I don't like wheat so if you do, then maybe you'll like this one. But I prefer the one at coffee bean next door. Grilled cheese: this might just be my preference. I don't like whatever cheese they use. I think the flavor just doesn't go well as a grilled cheese type

4.5 inch breakfast burrito for $9.99. I'd say that's a tad bit underwhelming. Flavor wise it was above average, but for the price I pay, I expect to be more full.

Sandwich was as bland as can be. Cashier was nice but owner was so unpleasant. He bragged about what he was taking home to eat to his family and couldn't even acknowledge us as customers and say hello or welcome.

Drove down to Santee for a tournament. Was searching for a fast chop shop (something light, cold and refreshing) and came across Dave's. Menu was a bit confusing BUT the staff was extra helpful with my slow a** after a 7hr tournament. Food was great. Got your men/women back there... (winking at you and making you feel like a million dollars after a first degree burn from toasting in the sun). Ordered a fisherman sandwich. Pretty much a tuna sandwich. AMAZING AND REFRESHING. The bean sprouts were the finishing touch on that one. I do wish they would've added one or two more to pickle spears.

I like there cold sandwich turkey. They just do not give enough meat. B4 Covid they almost gave u enough meat on 1 sandwich to almost make 2 sandwiches. But of course the price has went up.

Amazing Superfood Salad I would and do drive up to an hour to get one now that I"ve moved.

I absolutely love their salads and wraps! The sandwiches have quality ingredients but are not my favorite. I'm not a fan of the toasted sandwich bread. I would much prefer a panini on a roll. The soups are pretty good too.

Stopped by last week for the first time and grabbed lunch. I tried the regular meatball sub and left full. They offered a large, but I'm sure that would've been too much for one person for lunch. The staff were friendly. They were taking orders at the door and walked your order to your table. They have about 5 tables and on the side of the building and parking in the rear. Overall the food and service was good. I would return and recommend.

The service was fast, and the cashier was super nice. The breakfast burrito was delicious, I ordered a deluxe burrito. I also ordered a Cesar salad, I like that the lettuce is shredded for you and it's well portioned. I give this place 4 stars only because the lentil soup was not good for my taste. I had no flavor and was missing some salt. It was very bland. Other than that I might go again since it's close to my job and overall it was good.

Just came here for a cranberry turkey sandwich with a super salad combo & it was so fire! Not only was the turkey and cranberry FRESH, it was also sided with this fire sort of pita bread and I am so satisfied. Will foresure be back

The place was not bad but I noticed their food is a little over priced. Staff did not acknowledge us when we walked in, they took awhile to actually greet us. The girl that took our order seemed like she was tired, very sluggish. We didn't feel very welcomed. It was disappointing.

Came here for a quick sandwich togo after being unable to park at subway a few blocks away. I thought ill give it a try. Wow, delicious! I only had the pesto panini w/ chicken and it was incredible. I order the large not thinking too much about it and thought $14.99, that's pricey! Well let me tell you, its totally worth it. The meat and cheese were hot, the vegetables were fresh and refreshing and with the bread and pesto sauce, everything melded perfectly. I cant speak for any of their other dishes but i will go back no matter what for what is now my favorite sandwich. Oh, and since I had ordered the large there were 2 sandwiches that were 8in. long each. I couldn't finish it all so I gave it to a family member who is now also hooked. A sandwich you would normally find in West LA, now in the heart of East LA. Great job!

No major complaints but this was nothing special. The staff was friendly and the food didn't take long to cook but it is extremely overpriced for what you get. They benefit from being one of few deli's in the area. My tuna melt was cool but again nothing special. There's a parking lot with plenty of parking and seating inside the deli.

Been coming here for a while but I have to say that they are highly over priced. Grossly over priced. Their service has also gone down the hole. Seems like the owner only focuses on his catering service to school lunch programs. Too bad, this is my last time coming here. A 9$ breakfast burrito is insane.

I came here for the first time unsure of what to expect but I was really craving a delicious cold sandwich. The girl with the dark hair who helped place the order seemed somewhat friendly, at first. Upon my arrival there was no one there. I placed an order for two sandwiches and somehow 3 other orders that were placed after me were made before mine were. I literally waited 20 minutes on a turkey pesto and roast beef. I was frustrated because of the wait but I thought it's okay, maybe they are having a tough day. I proceeded to check my sandwich because I requested to add jalapeños and avocado BUT to my surprise the avocado was missing. So, I approached the register to have this girl with the dark hair completely ignore me. She talked to the woman in the kitchen and continued to take her time bagging sandwich. She did not acknowledge me at all. I then waited ANOTHER 7 MINUTES to be helped. By that point the owner walked up to help. He seemed upset and almost gave the girl a dirty look. I will never come back. You cannot work in the food industry and blatantly ignore and disregard customers. Even acknowledging someone and letting them know you'll be right with them creates space for patience and understanding. But, NO being avoidant is the way to go with her at this establishment. Other than that, the sandwich was good just not worth the wait or the horrible experience.

Girl said deli was closed during business hours because she couldn't work the register, just to turn around and serve someone right after me. I caught the hint....and won't be back.

I ordered a pastrami sandwich from them through UberEats. The deli took forever to make the sandwich even though it said between 15-20 mins delivered. I finally got my food while waiting on my lunch break. When I opened it up I was shocked to see there were lit bits of pastrami, a little mustard and some pepperchinis. I called and asked to speak with a manager. After being on hold like 7mins George came to the phone. He verified he was the manager. I began to explain to George my concerns and he immediately responded with "it's an UberEats issue not mine." I explained that there wasn't an issue with the delivery, the issue is the food your establishment made. He seemed to get instantly agitated. I explained that there wasn't very much meat on my sandwich. He interjected rudely saying I know we put 5oz's of meat on our sandwiches so I don't know what happen. I assured him that my sandwich barely had any meat and that I took pictures of it if he'd like to see them. I advised him that I work at LA County ISD HQ and that we order from them all the time. He rudely hung up the phone on me after saying "whatever!" I will never do business with them again. I spent $14.81 including the 4.99 delivery fee for a bread sandwich. Never again! #HorribleCustomerService #NoMeatSandwhich

Ordered the chicken Parmesan sandwich . Chicken was terrible seemed frozen and not breaded at all. Worst sandwich I've ever had. Haven't tried anything else on menu. Will not be back.

They were nice when I came in. No customer service issues, and my Reuben sandwich was sooooo delicious. Might be my new favorite sandwich spot.

Came in two days in a row because I forgot to bring a lunch to work. On both days, a fly was flying around. Today I specifically noticed a large salad sitting there uncovered. I really think workers need a sanitation refresher. On another note, the cold turkey sandwich is really good. Overpriced but good. The first day I went, my order was perfect. My regular sized saThe second day they messed up my order and naturally I didn't realize it until lunchtime. I even opted for the larger sandwich today for nearly $12. Overpriced sandwiches, won't be back!

Going to say it's disappointing for my first time ordering this through UberEATS First off, they call me and say "we don't have anymore potato salad so we sent you macaroni salad" - what the... LOL who does that? I would expect maybe a cancellation or a refund on the potato salad When the food came, I got the combo and the macaroni salad was in a small plastic container that you'd put sauce in...along with a baby sized bottle water. $3 for that I guess that's why they didn't want to cancel the combo and sent macaroni salad Secondly, I ordered a Turkey panini with spinach and they give me cucumber and tomatoes.... how?! lol This was all ordered on an app which listed everything i ordered... that's pretty bad Basically a $17 sandwich that wasn't right and super small baby combo

Had the large pastrami and large cornedbeef The sandwich uses very good meat boars head ... sandwich was pretty pricey but you have to try everything once .

I paid $2.79 for a sample of potato salad. What a rip off !! I called the restaurant the person I spoke to was so rude , he said " I'm complaining over a dollar " and suggested I call Uber eats . He refused to give me his name and hung up . It's not about the money , this restaurant has poor service ! In regards to the sandwich , i rather go to subway . First and last time I order from here .

The Reuben is really delicious and very filling. So far it's my favorite thing there. I also decided to try the pizza. Pizza is my favorite fast food and the pizza here beat out any pizza quick fix. Better than shakeys and not as expensive...

I don't think I'll be coming here anymore. My order today (premium large sandwich) was done wrong. Lettuce and onions were missing and they put on the olives I asked them to leave off. When you're paying nearly $12 for a sandwich, you want it done right. Sadly, its only meat and peppers. I'm too busy at work to go back to tell them. Also, as others have said, the side orders like macaroni or potato salad are ridiculously small. Like sample sized. Way too small to charge nearly 3 dollars for. The seating area is also very small and usually very warm so I never end up being able to eat there.

Great sandwich,so good that I placed an order to take to my job. It was a last minute order for around 20 sandwiches, they worked on it and in a short time, I was walking out the door with the food. They also serve breakfast burritos and other items. It was good. Support the local business person, this is a great spot

I was introduced to this place by a friend, and now I'm a customer and have been for about 3 years. They sell sandwiches, wraps, soups, and salads. I especially love that the meat is Boars Head meat!! I've always loved ordering the chipotle philly cheesteak and the tomato basil soup that comes with garlic bread. I think it's worth the price with the amount of meat that's given in each sandwich. My experience here has always been great. They get pretty busy for lunch and close early so calling in your order to go would probably be best. They also have breakfast options like breakfast burritos and sandwiches. This is the perfect place to grab something to eat on a hot day!

Daves Deli has just about every sandwich you could ask for. Everyone should try the Reuben at least once. Rye bread loaded with pastrami or corn beef, coleslaw and their amazing dressing, Swiss cheese, and drained sauerkraut,amazing! They serve soup,pizzas, salads, and fresh fruit and so much more. No French fries or burgers here, but who needs them with all these beautiful sandwiches and pizzas to choose from? Come hungry. The sandwiches are amazing!

I guess my experiences were quite different from everyone else's on here. Well, what can you do?! The good: Probably the ONLY place in the area to offer real, healthy food options, especially vegetarian items that can easily be made VEGAN. Yes please, do more of that! The sandwiches are pretty large and filled to the top and pretty tasty. The salads are quite big and the lentil soup (vegan!) is quite tasty. The staff is very friendly, patient and pretty quick with your order too. Lunch with tip will run you about 11-12 bucks. Okay, the bad: It is truly unbelievable all the single-use, disposable products they use even if you're dining in: styrofoam containers for everything, plastic water bottles, plastic spoons and the plastic lids this place burns through. If you're eating in your water cup is styrofoam, your soup bowl is styrofoam, it's topped with a plastic lid, and your spoon is plastic. And if you buy a bottle of water (which most people had), it's not responsible at all in this day and age. I know most of you won't care, but it's probably time we should.

I really love their Reuben sandwiches. Great sandwiches all around but that's my favorite. Their tomato soup is off the chart great also.

I go to Dave's Deli a few times a week for lunch. I have had nothing but positive experiences with them. I really enjoy their kale quinoa salad! I love the flavor and the portion. Their soups are pretty good too! I've tried their cream of broccoli, chicken and rice and lentil soup. Their soups are typically accompanied by pita bread or some other kind of bread. Their outdoor seating area is nice to enjoy your lunch.

I was across the street doing jury duty and noticed this place on our break. I went back for lunch and was so happy to see they had things I could eat (I'm wheat free). I got the kale quinoa salad and was also happy to see they had size options since I love salad but I can't eat a TON. Mine was still a lot of food and SO GOOD! It had so many great veggies in it with four dollops of hummus and it was delicious! I was really happy there was a healthy option close by and REALLY happy it was so good and kept me full the rest of the afternoon! And I didn't think their prices were high at all for what I got. Definitely recommend this place!

Over priced and underwhelming... Ordered the easiest sandwich! The American Hero... No mustard and no mayo?! Come on, maaaaaaan! Chicken noodle soup should be called Celery Soup with noodles and 1 small piece of chicken... Large size soup was small, and the regular sandwich was just that, regular... $16... Unbelievable.. Never coming back here...

Going to Dave's deli is a nostalgic experience for me. I was introduced by my friends and it's a great place to just kick back and catch up with people. I have been going for years and whenever I want a sandwich, I skip going to subways and such and always pick Dave's deli. My go to is the Turkey jack panini, with the panini pressed. The sandwich is spicy but it is a enjoyable spicy; one that goes well with the fresh chipotle sauce in the sandwich. I recommend Dave's deli above any sandwich place easily.

They got my order perfect and everything tasted good, with a nice hearty rye bread. But I was disappointed with the size of the sandwich. I am used to Jewish Delis that are generous with the meat. This was not generous, especially for the price.

There are more negative comments on here then there are positive. I agree with most of the customers on here. OVER! PRICED! small portions, not attentive towards customers complaints and I don't see any reply's from the store manager or of the owner of this establishment regarding customers concerns. I guess you really don't give a Damm!

Woowo coming from Vegas and let me tell you this place is amazing. I build my own sandwich and it comes amazing

Walking down a fast-food and not-so-healthy food option lined block, Dave's Deli Catering offers a humble but delicious and healthy option. With a wide array of choices, from sandwiches to soups to salads, this is not a healthy food stop that'll leave you feeling hungry. On this rare, rainy LA day, they are offering three daily soups to warm up. I ultimately went with the buffalo chicken salad with added avocado. Light, fresh, and not overly drenched in dressing, this salad was really enjoyable and still felt like a heartier meal. It was very light on the cheese but the buffalo flavoring on the chicken made it taste robust. The garlic pita that comes with it was warmed up and was perfect in this weather. Now, if you want to satisfy a bit of a salt craving, they have two displays worth of chips available as well as a variety of chilled beverages. Service was quick, friendly, and happy to bring your food to your table. Overall, I am more than pleased with this modest, little lunch spot.

I am disappointed in Dave's Deli, I called at 4:00 p.m. and someone answered and said, were closed already. Why did you answer the phone & why aren't your business hours updated online. First, off update business operation hours in all online sources, 2nd when you answer a phone call you still take the order out of courtesy and apologize for the inconvenience that is good customer service and it's engages the customer to return. 3rd - It is St. Patrick's Day not a good call to close early! When business could be made. Not coming again.

Came here with my co-worker for late lunch and was not sure what to expect of this place. Nice clean ambiance, and well sanitized which is good presentation. The sandwich was awsome, and the ambiance was nice on a nice sunny afternoon. The owner I believe was really warmth and welcoming us even gave us discount. I definitely will go back when around the area.

Had a few sandwiches here. Food has never been bad. But never really been great either. And the portions aren't worth the price. The Hat is expensive, but the portions are fairly large. Here, they're small.

Freakin love this place super yummy !! You got to try daves favorite turkey sandwich Only down side they close early and aren't open Sunday's

I was a little hesitant to try this place, but HONEY, I'm so glad it was an option. The Lentil soup was AMAZING. The best I've ever tasted. The garlic bread and Pita was mouth watering. Oh, and the salad I ate was the strawberry, kale....... it was freaking amazing too.
