5 Best Delis near Westborough

“Pluses and Minuses for New York Deli.Owner is Super Nice and a lot of the food including French bread is made in house.The first time I was here I had what I think was called a Thanksgiving sandwich It was excellent. The bread was fresh and made in house The turkey seemed carved and it had just the right amount of everything.The second time coming I was a little disappointed. I ordered what is my benchmark sandwich for any place that calls themselves a deli, a Rueben. It was a bit underwhelming. Traditionally a Rueben is made on Dark rye. I don't really mind it being on light rye it just changes the flavor. But that wasn't the bad part of the Reuben. If you're going to make a Reuben do not use boar's Head corned beef. It's not real Jewish corned beef and any New Yorker would be upset that you tried to pass off a Reuben with it. If you are going to try and use boar's Head corned beef you have to slice it so thin that you can see through it. A Rueben is also a grilled sandwich not a panini sandwich. So when it is grilled it should be buttered and the cheese should be melted and the corned beef warm, neither of these happened. That being said I just ordered the wrong sandwich My previous sandwich was excellent. I should have asked about the corned beef if it was fresh or if it was from boar's Head or some other pre-made company. I did see that they have a Cuban on the menu which is another sandwich that I try to see how close they can get it. for the next time......“

“I've been going to Gene's since I was about 11, so 1981!!!! Of course, back then, it was for candy and soda, lol!! As I got older, I realized what a hidden gem it truly is! They have great subs and pretty much anything Italian. Not just the deli but stocked on the shelves as well. I don't make sauce because theirs is so good. Makes my life easier to boot! Thank you Gene's. Everyone who works there is very nice and wicked happy to help. Every time I go in, it brings back memories of walking to the pool and stopping at Gene's on our way there. I've never been disappointed or dissatisfied with anything I've gotten here! That's a lot over 42 years. Just sayin lol!“

“We had several meals here while in town for business, and every time we were impressed. So far absolutely everything is fantastic. My travel companion is a bit of a Clam Chowder snob, but he did rate it as “good” which is a great compliment from a Martha’s Vineyard/Cape Cod type of person. Butternut squash soup was good, the turkey chili was great for this Texas native. They also have an extraordinary variety of chips. Lastly, the pickles…. I can’t say I loved the flavor, but the quality is 100%.“

“I drive by this place all the time and never think to stop. Well my brother went in yesterday and raved about the place so we ended up grabbing a couple of subs from there last night and it's like a hidden gem right in town and close by as well. I will definitely be going back soon to try out the other sandwiches ? they have. Be sure to check the cooler sections as well for pasta salads and such.“

“They have I think some of the best bread and best sandwiches, though a bit pricey. They will serve fast though it can be a wait if it's the lunch rush. No place to sit if you needed and parking can be hard to findParking: Only 4 to 5 spots on a busy street“
