My son and I joined a group of about five people lined up outside. The owner seemed overwhelmed and we don't blame him!
The sandwiches were decent but nothing to bring us back for.
I hope this local iconic deli can keep up with the current customer needs.

The best sandwich spot I've been to in Santa Barbara. The atmosphere of the deli is great with the jukebox and bottle caps all over the walls. They have a good soda and sandwich collection and it's made fast with a generous amount of food. A 12 inch can last two meals because of how filling it is.

I have been coming here for 15 + years. Larry is good people.
Always happy and helpful. Talks to his customers and keeps subs flying out the door at a reasonable pace.
He’s got a good heart supporting C.A.R.E.4Paws and no child hungry.
Please come support him great food and even more sodas!

Plaza Deli has been singlehandedly driving a massive amount of traffic to this strangely empty shopping center for YEARS. The owner, Larry, and his secondhand man Josh really know their business and go out of their way to give you a great experience. The sandwiches are classic delicious New York deli style. The vintage interior doesn't miss a single detail. Always plenty of seating outside, bring your dog!

How did I not know about this place?
Plaza is an old school New York deli with a crowded interior full of interesting things, perfectly made subs at great prices, and a colorful owner full of character. I fell in love immediately.
During the Covid Apocalypse things are a little more bustling as only a few people are allowed in at a time and the queue runs around the courtyard outside. Hand sanitizer is stationed everywhere as the crew makes sure everyone follows proper social distancing and face mask rules.

Owner is rude and an angry person. The young tall kid making sandwiches didn't have his nose covered. When my boyfriend asked him to please cover his nose, the owner yelled at us, "Don't tell my employees what to do!". Kid was polite and did in fact cover his nose. But the owner who is known for being rude, started yelling and screaming for us to get out of his shop.

Best kept secret for a deli in Santa Barbara. Sandwiches are HUGE! Get a New York deli vibe walking in and the list of sandwiches couldn’t be better!

Quaint local deli with a passion for nostalgia, that has been in business for decades, serving up quality sandwiches with generous portions of meat and fresh veggies.
