I used to love fist street, but it has gone downhill in more ways than one under new ownership. After giving it another try, I was reminded of why I no longer dine here. Again, I had to remind the staff member to take off their gloves after touching the cash register to grab my bread out of the toaster. Staff was unkept and unfriendly. Chips had not been stocked. Food was pricy and unappetizing.

I can't eat at this place anymore. Just spent $25 on a footlong and a wrap. They were skimpy on the meat, the deli meats are poor quality. Anything that's heated up is microwaved. If it requires a container to be heated up they microwave it in a Styrofoam container!

Used to be a great place before the original owners retired and sold it. It has always been on the more expensive side but the quality was good. Since changing owners the service and quality has gotten worse. It's becoming an overpriced Subway.

Went in on 9/1/23 during a busy lunch time. No worries. I'm in no rush.The employee working completely ruined any chance of me returning here. She was audibly complaining to the whole shop that she is busy, and the only other employee is "too stupid to work up front." She later proceeds to tell the whole shop that she's getting drunk tonight because of this job, in front of children.Quite disgusting behavior.I'm not one to complain but it was quite appalling. 0/5 if I could.

Great subs!You want tasteless meats and cheeses for cheap: go to subway (BTW subway isn't much cheaper.)For excellent meats and cheeses, 1st st Deli is the place to go. Pastrami was so good. And the dill spread was the perfect accompaniment. Wife really liked her Ceasar chicken wrap too. We'll definitely be back

Had First Street Deli while in town for work. I ordered the Prime Rib Sandwich and Mac N Cheese. It was all so good. The meet was flavorful, and the Mac was creamy and cheesy. 10/10 would recommend! This was one of the best lunches I've had in awhile!
