The guy who makes sandwiches doesn't wear gloves, I think it's not good. 🙁

A good option for lunch and breakfast. Tried different sandwiches and like them all.
Service was very friendly and quick, just for this I would go back.
Always a nice selection to try out early with a cup of coffee.
Will Go Back.

Love this place. I've been here a dozen times and always get their stake and cheese grinder. With onions peppers and mushrooms. It's always fresh on a delicious bread. Sometimes it gets really busy during lunch so I try to order before 12 or after 1 pm.my favorite place when I'm in Medison

The lack of consideration for customer's wait time is ridiculous. They have the door blocked off and nobody outside so the customers are just all standing in the sun hoping somebody will come out soon since there's not a bell or anything to signify that people are waiting. I got here in 15 minutes (like they told me on the phone) and waited 7 minutes for something to come outside, along with the 6 other people waiting. The lady comes out and gives me and another girl a very aggressive attitude. I'm fine with waiting, but just not in the 90° sun and with absolutely no reassurance

Order an Italian combo, was not expecting the "version" I received. There was plenty of lettuce on every bite, hardly any meat which laid on top of the lettuce salad and to top it off a ton of Balsamic Vinegar ?
I support all mom and pop deli's in Ct but this sub was NOT an Italian Combo by any stretch of the imagination.

Best egg sandwiches on the shoreline. Hard rolls shipped in fresh from New York each morning and every egg sandwich is made to order.

Don't eat here if you're vegan!

I had actually been a customer here for a long time. Until today, that is. I ordered a garden salad without chicken, and asked for some avocado and walnuts instead. I got a salad with chicken on it, and politely pointed it out. They said they would "remake it". The salad came back awfully quick seemingly without chicken on it. I asked if it had been remade, or if they had just scraped the chicken off of it. They said they remade it. I paid, left, went to the park and sat down to eat my salad.

I found a piece of chicken in my salad, and the avocados

Really good breakfast and lunch. Place has been here forever and has that hometown feel, staff is very friendly and fast with orders. Extensive menu with lots of options for a deli. Small area to eat in as well.

First time here today. Ordered clam chowder was okay, not hot. A little on the expensive side.

I have gotten lunch from here many times since I work close by. When they're having a good day, items are pleasantly tasty. However, on multiple occasions, I find myself having to chalk up my mediocre sandwiches to them having an 'off' day. Rolls that aren't fresh, sauce specifications forgotten, and menu inconsistencies are all things I have witnessed come out of this establishment.

On the most recent occasion, a meatball parm sandwich was ordered and upon opening it, I realized there was no sauce. Simply meatballs and a few slices of cheese. It was an annoyance, and made

The Old School House Deli just started a prepared food section to the building. Madison area delis have tried this with varied success over the years. This deli is off to a great start. They have a nice selection so far. Room for expansion but that will come I imagine when the business grows. The Chicken Cordon Bleu was excellent. The vegan stuffed peppers were delicious and the seafood dishes are well prepared. For a guilty pleasure the owners sesame noodles should not be missed. The staff has been knowledgeable and kind. The containers are the "old school" (see what I did there?)

I see some negative reviews for this place, but I have to disagree. We got a reuben sandwich (hot) with corned beef, crout, cheese on rye bread. It was much more than my wife could eat but it was delicious and she ate every bit of it. I had a philly cheesesteak with the steak, cheese and sweet peppers on a Kaiser roll. Probably was the best one I have had in a decade. Next week we will return. Some of the reviews that are negative are 2 years old ! Yesterday was June 3, 2018 and it was great.

I walked in around noon and it was packed. They took my order right away and my food came out in a timely manner. The grilled chicken sandwich was so good that I had to come back the following day to order the same thing. Also, it's only a 5-10 minute drive from Hammonasset.

Great spot in Madison, right on Boston post road. Sandwiches are great, had a grilled chicken on hardroll my standard lunch and it was really good. They must get their bread from NYC.

I'm not normally the type to be overly critical but this place missed the mark in multiple ways today.

Placed an order for 3 sandwiches today along with some sides and kept it very simple. Ordered a crispy chicken wrap with just chicken and cheese, and the wrap had all the toppings, including dressing so my wife wouldn't eat it. Ordered a Reuben, which the menu says comes with Swiss, only to find it had American cheese on it. Who the hell eats American cheese with a Reuben?!

Get to the deli to pick up our order and my daughter wanted a snack. Price tag on the snack is $1.50 while the

Good subs. Tuna salad is very good. Chicken cutlet is good as well. Definitely one of the better options for subs on the shoreline.

Just eh. I've been here a couple times for convenience. I'll prob return. It's not bad just not great. The sandwiches are simple and generic. So boring but good food. The pricing is comparable around town

A couple of years ago this place was in its prime, but now, it has hone down in quality. The previous owner had things done right, he knew the customer base and he knew what the people wanted.
I have not gone here as much as i did for a few reasons but mainly it is the fact that they have gone down in quality. My prime example is the bread they now use. Its too soft. Also the cheese they use isnkimda funky,( this may experience happened at most twice, but it still deferred me away from here)

I reccomend the 24, southwest chicken hero, or the #9.

Great deli, good people. I recommend the barnyard as a hang-over cure. Works every time, most of the time. But honestly, if you had to yelp to find this don't go. Just kidding, this is a local landmark.
