Metropolitan Cafe Deli - Maltkiln Lane

The sandwiches and food selection is great, the service is hit or miss, depending on who is working. It ranges from unfriendly demeanor to polite. They have a huge selection of delicious stuff and It's hard to decide, so I have to hover around, sometimes.

Amazing little family owned deli that makes bomb sandwiches and is a staple to the neighborhood

I got a Reuben sandwich after a very hard day at work nearby and it was DELICIOUS!!!!! The bread was excellently toasted, the meat was very generous and left me totally satisfied, the kraut was crispy and sour, and the thousand island dressing was portioned professionally. The whole thing felt and tasted like it came off of a manufacturing line that was tuned to laser precision despite being assembled by hand. It hit exactly the right spot in exactly the correct proportion. It cost $9 which, for a sandwich, will invite cynicism but I feel like I really got what I paid for and I'll absolutely be going back.The rest of the shop is as expected. It tries to offer snacks for the office workers nearby and some toiletries for the people who live in the area (paper towels, cleaning supplies, etc. and does a respectable job of hitting both marks. There's a respectable stock of soda and a large supply of candy and hostess treats. There's quite a collection of wine and some beer as well.5/5 would recommend

I tried the Rancher! Wow what a slab of Roast Beef that was. The horseradish sauce kept my sinuses burning, which was perfect because I was feeling a bit stuffy.

I regret not checking the reviews before ordering from this restaurant. I placed an online order that was supposed to be ready by 4:42. When I arrived at that time, a very rude and dismissive man at the counter told me, “Nope. No order. Why wouldn’t you just come in and order it if you were coming in anyway?” I double-checked my email, and it showed that the order had been canceled at 4:43. The terrible customer service has completely turned me off from trying this place again, and the flaws in their online ordering system only add to my frustration.
