I found this gem while staying in Kona for a couple days. I'm so glad I did! The NY hoagie (sub sandwich) was super delicious, fresh and flavorful. Custom made cause I don't like tomatoes nor peppers. Christine is legit, an east coaster who knows authentic ingredients. You can see how much she cares. I hope she opens another one on the Big Island's east side soon!
Excellent sandwiches! We always order these delicious sandwiches for the plane ride with macaroni salad or Hawaiian chips. This is much better than airplane food for sure.

What a great spot! Delicious food if you don't mind a bit of a wait (just call ahead and order if you are in a hurry cause it's worth it!) They were more than willing to run with my 'chefs choice' request and it did not disappoint!
Go here for sure. The great reviews are correct. Clean, Fresh, and Local. Great sandwiches, great soups. Next I'm going to try some of the amazing looking baked goodies! Service is all Aloha ))
A very good delicatessen for fresh, hot, sandwiches. We really enjoyed our Reuben and (Jilly) Philly Steak sandwiches.
Christine’s Deli, though modest in its setup with no tables or table service, encourages a unique dining adventure. Patrons are invited to take their food to go, a feature that complements the nearby top-notch beach parks with stunning views. This aspect adds to the charm of Christine’s focused approach on food quality over attracting large crowds. The standout dishes, the Italian sub and meatball marinara, are exemplary in flavor, boasting fresh ingredients and a level of care in preparation that sets this deli apart. For those seeking exceptional sandwiches to enjoy amidst beautiful scenery, Christine’s Deli is an unmissable destination.
Best food around by far took care of the whole family..will definitely be back .
Really amazing authentic deli, have not found one like it in Hawaii other than this one! Very clean kitchen, Christine the owner treats you like you are family, she has some of the best soups reminds me of my grandmothers cooking. Definitely recommend her warm sandwiches and fresh macaroni salad.
Should be able to give 10 stars! Christine is a pleasure to work with. She has taken care of our company lunches quite a few times and always leaves us satisfied and coming back for more. Definitely stop in if you're in town. Great sandwiches and awesome people!
Absolutely love this place!! If you want some good food, this is it!!
