Over the past 20+ years, Cravings Gourmet Deli went through several changes in ownership. It was formally owned by three brothers from 1992-2008. In March of 2008, Steve and Chris Marinos bought the deli from the Gerovasilis Brothers. They spent some time making changes to the interior and the menu.
Our bagged lunches are a convenient way to serve your guests at business meetings, office gatherings, fieldtrips or just a light lunch at the park. We feature Dietz and Watson Meats and Cheeses along with brioche rolls from Philadelphia to create your bagged lunch. Choose from the many options to meet the needs of your guests.

Highly recommend this place! Everything was delicious, especially the Canton noodle stir fry, Scallion pancake beef rollups, and pot stickers!
Probably can't go wrong with anything you get, though!

This was my first real ramen/pho experience and it was fantastic! I had the tonkotsu ramen and my hubby had the beef pho with tripe. It was absolutely perfect! We will definitely be back!

What have I been missing? Cravings Deli inside Pacific Rim Foods; where have you been my whole life? I am so sorry I’ve lived here for years and never knew that this treasure was right around the corner. Talk about awesome food. My wife and I had lunch there today (all pictured below): Passion Sparkling with Mango popping boba tea; Chinese-American Chicken Egg Rolls; Chicken Banh Mi; and Beef Pho. Everything was out of this world and I can’t wait to go back with my kids.
Don’t be like me; run (don’t walk!) to Cravings Deli in Pacific Rim Foods. You won’t be sorry!

The 1. JK Special is the best steak and cheese sub I have had in PA yet! I highly recommend! So good evening without adding any sauce! 10+++

Needed to stop at Brewers the other day and figured I'd grab dinner from Cravings. I've always been a fan, but forget about this place.

It was great to see everyone working following CDC guidelines. There were about 7-8 employees working and all of them wore their masks correctly and wore gloves. All of the tables have been pushed to the side (no dine-in) and signage was clearly posted. Plexi at the register and no one waiting inside.

Consistently good food and equally great customer service.

One of the best sandwich and salad shops in Lancaster. We had the cheeseburger subs this time. The burgers are flame broiled to perfection. Served on great roll. Definitely one of my favorites here. Cheesesteaks are among the best in Lancaster county. Also one my favorites is the grilled chicken Greek salad. Always plenty of chicken for every bite. The olives are some of the best.

The food is amazing but I think the on line ordering is not working properly. One of the questions was what you do NOT want. I chose green peppers. Unfortunately, my wrap was full of green peppers. When I looked at the receipt taped to my bag, it showed "Comments: N/A" I think I received green peppers because I did not put it in the comments. Someone should look into that. Hate green peppers.

This will do. I'm a NJ transplant, so my deli standards are very high. Best in the area, and works when my deli need is high. Soups are tasty. Comfortable seating and plentiful menu, try it out for a good sandwich.

We love Cravings and have for years! Worst thing about them is that they are closed on Sundays! Try everything on their menu from creative wraps and sandwiches to their salads and fried avocado pieces!!! They also make their own dressings and the honey mustard is what we CRAVE

We've been going here for 18 years and had a pretty bad experience recently. My 76 year old mom asked for a little more dressing for her salad and was told it was $0.50 extra. Apparently this is a new policy as was having to walk all the way to the front door to get silverware and napkins which are not given with your food. Okay that's not a big deal but the staff were extremely rude and were laughing at my mom when she complained that she had never been charged in 18 years. They have the nerve to have a tip jar on the counter. I predict this restaurant will close within months if the

Nothing gourmet about it. A bunch of teens doing their best. The cheesesteak was passable. There are much better ones around. Also, if you like beer you can get it next door.

You know someone is a Philly native if you ask them "Pat's or Gino's" and they reply "Cravings Gourmet Deli in Lancaster".

Honest opinion though, it's a locals deli. The cheesesteak is pretty good and the service is quality. This is not somewhere you take people to impress them with a well designed interior and a $11 avocado toast. You take people here because you want a good sub at a decent price.

This used to be my favorite place for a cheese steak. For years I would bring friends from Philly and laugh as they finally have a good steak. Now I haven't been back in over a year but decided to swing by. Sad to say it has changed quite a bit. Maybe it's my memory that had them on a certain level but the steak was just ok good. Not great. Not a place I would bring people to. Just average. Rolls are. Different. And let's the gease make it soggy. Steak doesn't have the flavor of before. Kinda of watered down. Maybe it was the onions. Just not as it used to be here

Verdict: One of the more authentic tasting Philly cheesesteaks I've had in the Lancaster area.

I can't say if it was the bread, the steak, the cheese, or the combination but there was something distinctly Philly in this cheesesteak. It reminded me of the sandwiches I got when living in the city. I know they use American cheese and that might create a major debate about whether that's correct. I don't think there'd be much debate about this being a well made sandwich.

Cravings has a large menu with plenty of options. I'll have to go back and try some other items before

I ordered the Bacon & Blue Burger and the Kiddie Korner Chicken Fingers to go.

The burger was underwhelming - the bacon was a nice portion, but there was too much cheese for the thin, relatively dry patty and lackluster bun.

The Chicken Fingers meal was worse. I understand it is intended for children. The girl for whom I ordered it was disappointed. The fries were shriveled and dry. She said the chicken fingers tasted alright but they were small and, again, tasted *alright*.

Perhaps I should have ordered a sub or cheesesteak. I may try again next time I'm in town.

We went based on these reviews. It was a Saturday evening, about 7:00. My husband and I placed our order, but it took over 30 minutes to get our food! They did not apologize and did not appear unduly busy.

My husband ordered a gyro burger. The beef was very overlooked. The gyro meat was good. His fries were greasy and a bit undercooked.

My Italian sub was ok.
I have to say - we have been to Primo Hoagies before. It is just up the road. They use the same quality brand of meats, with greater variety. The hoagies are MUCH better there and the wait time is much shorter.
We won't return

Cravings... yes. You will have many, many cravings for their food once you've had it.
I love the zucchini sticks... sooo good *wipes drool*
Tried a few different sandwiches,
a different one each time I've gone.
Each time... very tasty and fresh.
Customer service is a lil' "hit or miss"...
Some of the guys seem a lil' more preoccupied with what's on TV than the fact that you're slightly confused and may have a question or 2.
I think there should be more than one napkin dispenser... but... that's neither here nor there, I guess?
Seating is comfy. I like
