Awful sandwich today very disappointed paid £3.70 for ready made sandwich bread was dry and could hardly see or taste the turkey! I always go here when passing the area but I won’t be going there again! Also I didn’t get my receipt after paying by card I forgot to ask for it and she didn’t offer to give it to me !!

Funny place. I love the range of produce available but ordering a sandwich is a confusing process. There's just too many options for my small mind to cope with and I end up going into buffet mode - just grabbing things that look good but don't necessarily work together! If I could suggest anything I would say, have a smaller menu of say 8 solid sandwiches, then if people want to customise they can. Other than that they have lovely staff and excellent alcohol range

My girlfriend and I ventured into Back's Deli earlier this afternoon for a spot of lunch, having only ever been in previously to buy items to take home. I think we must have arrived during the tail end of the Saturday lunch rush, as there was a bit of a queue and all the tables inside were occupied. That said, thanks to a small stroke of luck, one of the tables was cleared whilst we were in the queue so my girlfriend quickly grabbed it whilst I queued to order food.
I have to say I was quite proud of myself because, as a notoriously indecisive man, I usually take ages to decide on exactly

Awful food. I ordered a jacket with tuna. tuna was fine but it was masking a jacket potato that was old, brown and reheated. I feel I should write a review because it is disgusting to sell old potatoes when they are so cheap and easy to throw away. I am writing this as I feel so ill as a result of eating this contaminated food. Delicatessens should only serve the best and freshest food if they want a good reputation which this one does not deserve.

Despite walking past this place loads of times I only ventured in last week whilst on the search for a decent bottle of Prosecco to celebrate the weekend heat wave we were having (I don't need much of an excuse).
I was pleasantly surprised with the range of stock Back's has as it's only a small place and not only does it have a fresh deli counter selling all manner of items as well as coffee to takeaway or enjoy on one of the handful of tables, but also a wide range of stock cupboard items, including my favourite Cool Chile range (a brilliant line of Mexican ingredients).

Great little deli, with a bunch of interesting stock - last time I was here, I picked up some decent Italian tinned tomatoes for a great price (57p or something), and some fantastic smoked pancetta, and there's all sorts of other bits and bobs. If I lived locally I'd be buying stuff here all the time.
The sandwich I had was "good enough" rather than "great", but then sandwiches are not Manchester's strong point in general.

Backs is my home away from home(La Jolla California) in Heaton Moor. It's a wonderful place in the morning with great papers to read. Great place to watch the world (as it is in Heaton Moor) go past. It has delicious breakfast bits and the staff brighten your morning. It also appears to a very good small green grocers and deli.
