Rouladen and Brat on a Bun.The food at this place was absolutely fantastic! Every bite was a delight, very soft and tasty. And let's talk about the atmosphere - it truly transports you to Europe with its charming and cozy vibes. It's the kind of place where you can just relax and enjoy your meal without a care in the world lol

Really great sandwich. Kinda an arrogant-grumpy vibe... and old school deli service (really old) but my hunch is they don't give two shtz about what I say. They've been there forever so they'll just keep on going on making their really good food. Give it a shot.

Hot meatball sandwich on C'est Si Bon bread is fantastic! Small selection of German draft and bottled beers and interesting gift items. Deli counter and catering services too.Parking: Small number of sports that fill up quickly at peak hours.Wheelchair accessibility: Handicaps parking, accessible entrance and tables that accommodate wheelchairs.

Simply good food. I believe it's still family owned if you're interested in a local place. The buttered pretzel bites (for Superbowl catering) while we were there and that sounded good. I got polish and bratwurst sausages with sauerkraut. They also have jalapeno cheese sausages and a few other spicy options.
Best deli in OC! Not only is the food amazing, the staff is the most friendly! My absolute favorite spot for lunch.

You wouldn't expect to have such a gourmet German deli in this area but it's surprisingly authentic. I usually get the brat on bread with German potato salad and both of them are bomb. Service is excellent and workers got a great sense of humor as well. They have a few tables to sit down but people usually to go.

I made a previous review about an experience with different owners. The food here is amazing and we've been going here since the 90's. I'd love to come back and meet the new owners.

Super high expectations before my first take-out order may have tempered my overall satisfaction. The meatball sandwich was delicious, as were the veggie and pastrami. Only problem was they forgot to add sourkraut to it as ordered, and that was what I wanted most from this German deli. They also forgot to add a side of potato salad that was ordered & paid for as evidenced on our receipt. Unfortunately, we were already home when these omissions were discovered. Maybe just a fluke but 2 missing items on one order of 4 sandwiches seems like more than a fluke.Go for the food, check your order well before departing and enjoy!

I would have eaten until I exploded!!! I had a meatball and a classic Reuben sandwich and wish I had extra stomachs. The food was rich without being heavy and large portions. By far THE BEST MEATBALL sandwich I’ve ever had.Lots of nifty authentic German snacks available to purchase, as well as beer.

I don't usually rave over a sandwich, but I just had the best ham sandwich I've ever had at Globe Delicatessen. Simply put: everything was just perfect. Five stars all the way!

I came here by chance after seeing it while walking around, looking for food, while getting my car serviced.It seems like the kind of hole-in-the-wall place where everyone knows each other, and most of the customers are repeat customers. I felt like I didn't really fit in with the customer base, but that's my own problem Ambiance was interesting, seems like most people are here to drink and chat. It's pretty small so tables can be hard to find since people seem to stick around a little while.Staff was very nice and friendly! They seemed very comfortable and knowledgeable here.Since the pretzels seemed popular, I wanted to try it. I'm not a fan of mustard so I asked for no mustard. It was really salty without it so I probably wouldn't recommend doing that--I imagine the mustard balances out the flavors pretty well.The sandwich was not bad, but not my personal cup of tea. Overall, the food here is great, but just not my personal flavor palette. I brought the food home for my partner, though, and he fell in love with the food and says he needs to come try it out for himself.
