Deli Works

One of our favorite places to dine in Ft Collins! We consider this place a hidden gem. The food is always great. We especially love the burgers, sandwiches and homemade desserts! It's why it's one of our "regulars". It's a family owned and operated business and the service is great--they are BUSY!! The atmospheres is funky fun, but it's the yumminess that will keep you coming back for more!

Great little spot for lunch! Homemade rolls/buns. homemade chips! Burger is usually what I get and it’s delicious. Ladies working there are always pleasant and helpful. Most seem to be longtime employees or owners. They get a lunch rush and can be busy but often I come after hours and eat alone with good background music or sometimes a live band on Fridays. Price is similar to modern fast food, speed is only about half of fast food, and the quality of the food and ingredients is miles ahead of fast food, why eat at Wendy’s or even Freddy’s with this place nearby? Happy to support small business! Keep up the great work ladies!

Went for a late lunch with my daughter and her boyfriend. We ordered 2 Reubens 1 Philly and one cup of broccoli cheese soup. It was amazing. This soup was made fresh and had a homemade flavor that you just can't find now. I had one of the Reubens, and it was one of the best Reubens I've had in a long time. The.conrbed beef was tender and very flavorful tue sour kraft was just the right amount of sour everything was perfect all the way down to the swirled rye bread. Thus was my first visit, and all I can say is I'm ashamed that it has taken me this long to figure out this hidden little gem that I will be going back to again and again.

Close to Registry Ridge- very close- service is prompt, sandwiches are great with fresh ingredients. I like the chicken salad sandwich which had nice pieces of chicken.

Amazing food, came here with my mom and my boyfriend trying to find a new place to eat some good food and I was highly impressed. The restaurant had a homey feel and I felt immediately welcomed and comfortable. The food is made from scratch and I have a bunch of issues with restaurants and feeling cruddy after eating there but not with this place. I could not recommend it enough.

The best deli in the region! Thanks for all the comfort food guys.

I came here specifically because I was told it’s family owned and serves amazing food. Walking in, there’s nothing marking where to make your order or if it’s waiter service. I walked over to the area where people where working and felt like I walked into the back kitchen area of a sit down restaurant. There are 4 women working, not a single one looks up, says a word to me or asks if I need anything. Lol. So I feel like I’ve accidentally walked into a kitchen and walk back out into what I figure is the dining area to look for a waitress. I realized quickly that isn’t how it works there so rather than feel embarrassed I used the bathroom to wash my hands and reset myself. (Social anxiety sucks) The bathroom is gross. The sink is grimy. The spigot is broken and barely working, also sticky. The only way to dry your hands is from a basket of paper towels that is sitting almost halfway into the sink. So as you wash your hands you have to shove them into the back the sink just to get water while also dodging this wicker basket of paper towels that sits over 40% of the sink. Surprise surprise the fresh towels are all wet and filthy. I should have left right then. Instead, I awkwardly walked back into the area where people are working. Eventually I find There is one posted menu (and it’s filthy.) After a few minutes a young lady comes to the area I am and stands there staring at the wall without saying anything. Ended up settling on a Reuben because the menu is hard to read and the employees clearly can’t be bothered to help with anything. It was about $16 for the sandwich, bag of chips and a gnarly old blue plastic glass for the soda fountain. The dining room is small and dark on one side. There’s a mic stand and amp there for a musician. The tables are nice, but every table I touched was sticky and dirty. The chairs are flimsy and old that wobble with every movement. Eventually I find a table I thought was clean, as you’ll see in the photo turns out there was a layer of dust and dirt on it. See photos included. As I looked around, it was clear this dining room is treated like a house. There are house plants everywhere. The wood is all stained. The areas by the plants haven’t been swept or mopped in ages. The table next to me had dirt and grime marks on the floor in the shape of a ring from the pedestal that holds the table itself. It looked like it hadn’t been moved in years. I was fighting against a sticky table the entire meal. 5 minutes of waiting I get a Reuben thrown at my table by the same young lady in an absolutely FILTHY yellow deli basket. The sandwich was small. First impression It did not have a good smell, something I figured out eventually was the sauerkraut. There was a glob of semi melted cheese that made the kraut smell even worse. Directly on top of the Sandwich is a small pickle, drenched in pickle juice which meant the bread was soggy before I even touched the food. First bite was gross. I ended up picking through the sandwich and only eating the meat. It’s a BIG skip from me on this one boss. Terrible experience here.

Karin hooked me up with an excellent roast beef sandwich today. The roast beef was so delicious. Cuts were perfect. All of the other ingredients fit the sandwich to make it so tasty. Every bite was incredible. Thank you Karin. Your plumber, Cris

Feels like you're in an old friend's kitchen when you come to Deli Works. The family that works here is friendly and kind. The food is delicious. Priced fairly. Love having them close to our neighborhood!
