Went for the Italian “hot” with all their recommended condiments (mayo, mustard and house sauce) as well as LTO, banana peppers and red pepper relish added.
Bread was fresh, soft and warm.
We split one Sammy there and took one for the road.
Chose the Mac ‘n cheese and potato salad as our sides. Both were fine. personal preference had us adding a little pepper to both.
Several booths and some window seating inside were available. Also had tables outside on the sidewalk. Had fountain drinks, beer and (I think) wine.
Staff were quick and efficient. It was a busy and fast paced environment so not a lot of time for additional pleasantries.
The to go wrapping was pretty leaky by the time we got to sandwich number 2 as they used deli paper and paper bag. But we had put it in a plastic bag ourselves anticipating this.
This is now in our top 3 favorite Italians! Too bad it’s not closer to home
We had the Chef’s special of the day - pulled pork sandwich with chipotle Mayo, cheese, red onion and bacon on brioche. It was excellent! Will definitely return again to try other sandwiches. We did share the sandwich, hence the price range.
I have been here several times. The staff has always been amazing and the quality of food is consistent and always good. I have eaten inside, outside and taken food to go. It is what I consider to be a true deli. They have a deli counter and they have many people taking orders and preparing food. There is often a line, but know that the line moves quickly, and that they will take good care of you. You will be asked to pay before your food is presented, which means that you have the freedom to leave when you are done eating, which is nice if you are pressed for time. Based on my positive experiences, I will continue to frequent the Mountain Deli as I am able, and I highly recommend.
Great selection of sandwiches and sides. All in a quaint little NC mountain village.
My wife got the chicken soup and I got the Rachel (a Reuben but with Cole slaw instead of sauerkraut) with potato salad. Maybe the best sandwich I've ever gotten---both the pastrami and the bread were amazing. Soup was also outstanding.
Love seeing the guys and gals at Mountain Deli. Always fast and friendly service. I usually go for the hot carved roast beef, but today I came in early for a bacon and cream cheese everything bagel (a real NJ staple) and it was spectacular, took me straight back to my favorite bagel shops growing up. Thank you to their spectacular team.
Although I have driven and walked past this place several times. It was my first time eating at Mountain Deli, today. I order the chef special and it was a tasty spin on the Cordon Bleu sandwich! The owner/ manager is super friendly! I will be back.
This place is fantastic! Everything I have had here is wonderful, the food is very fresh and the service is great. If you are on Main Street in Hendersonville, you need to stop in for lunch. You will not regret it!
Walking by this place, we were pleasantly diverted by the aromas emanating from Mountain Deli. Upon venturing inside, and perusing the rather extensive menu, we noticed an employee hand carving a very nice rare roast beef.... we looked at each other, and that was IT! We got the roast beef, and it's the best EVER! Tender and rare, exquisite, how it's supposed to be!
ALSO! BIG shout out for VINNIE our chef! Awesome friendly guy, truly enjoys his job there!
We live one hour away, and still we will make the trip JUST to come here!

The Mountain Deli is a great place for a sandwich. My wife and I used to come to Hendersonville about once a month on a Saturday before the pandemic hit. We would hit the bakery and then visit the deli for lunch. Unfortunately, they are no longer open on the weekends, but the food has stayed the same.
We had a free Friday in December and remembered that the Deli would be open, so we hopped in the car just to go get sandwiches. It’s a nice scenic drive up from near Gastonia to Hendersonville. We parked at the visitor center to walk up to the deli. It was cold out, and it was nice to get into the building. The wonderful smells immediately reminded me of previous visits. The staff seemed to be the same people we remembered seeing before.
I ordered a Rueben on rye. My wife had roast beef on rye. We also had a side each of potato salad and cole slaw. This is definitely the place to get a Reuben. The meat was juicy and delicious. The sauerkraut was tangy with just enough bite. My wife enjoyed her roast beef. We ordered with all the fixings on the menu. The sides we also definitely worth it. We would highly recommend going here for meats and sandwiches.
