Testimonials

On 7/14/2026 W H had this to say:
We walked into this place for a sandwich because it was the place across from the first parking spot we found when getting into town.....and it was AMAZING! The sandwiches were some of the best I've ever had, even just the turkey club was out of this world. The attention to flavor and ingredients shines through. Thank you for such a delightful experience!

We stop here every time we visit Decorah! The owner is always friendly, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable. The food is delicious, and the seafood is always fresh. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Excellent sandwiches and great service cute little shop that at one time was where I got my haircuts as a kid

On 6/30/2026 April Rule had this to say:
I really enjoyed this little deli. We were greeted with a friendly welcome and a smile by the owner. He recommended the turkey club, and it was FANTASTIC! I'm not a fan of cold sandwiches, but this one was LEGIT! It was fresh, delish and filling. They don't have seating inside, so we opted to eat outside as opposed to taking it elsewhere. My only complaint is that it's so far from where we live. If you are going through the town, it is a must to stop, visit and eat!
