Mom's Deli, Anaheim — Restaurant in Anaheim

I received a menu at my office and thought I'd give it a try since it was so close, even though I read all the negative reviews on Yelp... That was a mistake.

Ordered the Grilled Chicken Salad with Italian dressing. It maybe had 2 oz of chicken, on top of what seemed to be your cheap bag of mixed salad (iceberg, cabbage, carrots) from the store. The dressing tasted like cheap store brand Italian also.

On the front counter was a sign that you get a free side with purchase of a salad or sandwich, dine-in only. I went up and asked about it after I received my salad. She fist said that I got it and she was the one that brought me my meal... I told her that I did not. Then she said that she didn't think that salads were included. I pointed at the sign. Then she asked if I wanted potato or macaroni salad. I got the macaroni salad.

The macaroni salad was the worst thing I have ever tasted. There might have been chemicals in it. I spit it up...

Mom's Deli is close to my work and I visit here in spurts. Sometimes once a week, then once a month, back to once a week. The inside is clean and wholesome kitchen feeling, with pleasant background music. No fountain drinks at the moment, just bottled/canned beverages and water.

Most of their sandwiches are quite good, featuring a nice selection of breads from rolls to sliced bread and squaw. Their paninis are tasty too. I've also had their breakfast sandwich with bacon which is spot on for the morning. Bacon can be overdone at times, but provides a nice crunch to get your morning started.

My favorite sandwich is their large meatball on french roll; good sauce, plenty of meatballs and TONS of cheese. Great comfort sandwich.

Today I tried their AC chicken salad (apple and cranberry) on squaw and I might have a new favorite!! Delicious, crisp, and refreshing. Definitely be returning soon...

Sorry Mom! BLTs are my jam, my favorite sandwich 🥪! Never have I ever been served a BLT with crumbled bacon and shreds of lettuce. Didn't bite into whole slices of tomato. It wasn't an off-menu request. It was on the menu. If I'd had time during lunch, I would've come back after one bite. That was a fail. I've heard your smoothies ate amazing. Perhaps I'll...
