“Today, my wife and I ate at Anomaly Deli House for the first time. At first, we thought it was a bit pricey, but bang for buck, it's well worth it. Our sandwiches were hands down the best in town, fresh ingredients that will have your taste buds wanting more. I can usually eat a 12" sub sandwich with ease. By the time i was done, I couldn't eat another bite. My wife had to get a to go box for the rest of hers, and she got the 8". The ladies there were all very friendly, the service was amazing and quick. Next time you're in the mood for a good sandwich, Anomaly Deli House is where to go!”

“Fantastic Customer service! Tonight, we ordered subs that my hubby picked up for a late dinner at home. I ordered a Turkey melt with lettuce, tomato, white cheese only, and dry bun, no condiments. My hubby had the spicy Italian. His was good, and mine was not what I ordered. They put mayo on it. I tried to scrap it off, but it had too much. I called to let them know that they made a mistake, and the young lady asked if I wanted to talk to a manager, I hesitated and then agreed.I talked to the manager, and he wanted to remake my sandwich and deliver it. I ended up ordering the Philly with only the meat, white cheese, pepper, and onion, and he delivered it still hot and the way I ordered it. Thank you for the great customer service. I have never had this great service in Carlsbad. We highly recommend it. We have also had their pizza, and it's the way we like it. it has a nice thin crust, plenty of sauce and vegetables. I'm so happy they added green chili to the menu. 💯”

“After dinner, we weren’t through being together, so decided to have a drink and sit adn talk. There is a bar, the Blue Cactus Lounge at the Stevens Inn. Sounded good. It’s rather a large place with tables all about. Not really quaint. But dark-ish. We sat at the bar and were served by a most pleasant bar tender. She was both attentive and friendly. We drank wine and played W, W & S. It was a good end to a nice day.”
