Metro Deli Downtown

Visiting Tallahassee - the Florida Capitol - for a bit over a week, I had the opportunity to dine at Metro Deli several times. Whether on break from a class that I was taking - or meeting one of my clients - credit is due this little hole in wall just blocks from the seat of state government.

I quickly learned that making it to Metro Deli at 11:30-11:45 was a lot better than arriving at noon. Much shorter line and faster service. Not that I had a problem with the service, it's just I hate standing in lines.

I tried the Metro Box Lunch which is your choice of deli sandwich or wrap, chips, cookies and and a drink. I stuck to bottled water but tried the Hot Pastrami and Corned Beef a couple of times, along with the Mediteranian Turkey Melt, with hummus, feta cheese, lettuce, tomato, black olives, onion and Greek dressing. No issues with the food and everything was made to order.

Like I said - busy place with a very laid back atmosphere. Deli was clean - staff were polite and friendly. I spoke to several of the guys in charge of the sandwich making line and even the owner. After a few days, they thanked me for coming back several times over the course of the week. I even ran into a few social media friends that identified me by name, although I had no clue who they were. Has that ever happened to you?

Metered street parking - but I parked at the Doubletree by Hilton, where I was staying. From what I could see, the majority of customers were foot traffic from around the Capitol. Delivery service is available and was offered by the owner, although I forgot his name. Sorry...

Great place to eat and meet people. I will certainly visit next time I'm in Tallahassee.

I love the sandwiches that the serve here, such wide variety and delicious too. I am planning to try them all this month and brag about it to my friends.

They have a great grilled cheese sandwich. This place is pretty efficient when it comes to their services. They also have some other sandwich and I am planning to try them all.
