Eastside Deli and Subs — Restaurant in Ashtabula

On December 22, 2024, while driving by this establishment with Tiff, we decided to stop and try it out on our way back from running errands. It's astonishing that we've only just discovered this place. The staff were remarkably friendly and helpful in providing suggestions and explaining how their dishes were prepared. Their menu features what I'd describe as 'fair food,' which brought me immense joy. They offer a wide variety of classic fair foods and more. Tiff chose the gyro, while I opted for the brisket burnt ends accompanied by waffle fries. Following their recommendation, I also sampled the 'Cowboy beans,' which exceeded my expectations. Their extensive selection of meals, sides, and desserts was impressive. I strongly recommend visiting this establishment, as the staff and owner clearly take pride in their offerings. I'd like to thank the staff for a truly exceptional experience. Tiff and I both agree - 9.9 out of 10. Don't...

First experience wasn't the greatest :(

I'm not from Ashtabula, but was driving through the area and needed something to eat before heading back to PA. My friend and I ordered Walking Tacos - when we received them, the meat was COLD... like they just got it out of the refrigerator. Needing to head back to PA , I asked if we could just have our money back. They said they could not give us our money back, so they remade the Walking Tacos. This time, the meat was warm which was great... but the packets of sour cream they gave us were EXPIRED... very chunky and watery. Needless to say, we ended up throwing our food out because it was ruined at that point and we didn't have the time to have it fixed AGAIN.

I enjoyed the atmosphere of this place, the staff seemed super friendly (they remade our meal without hesitation), and I was really excited about the abundance of menu options they have... but was definitely disappointed in...

This place looks so run down they cook from a food truck but keep everything inside. There was very limited parking. We didn't even try the food. The wait was long and we saw the cook going in and out of the building, touching all the food without switching his gloves. We asked for a refund and left. We won't eat where they can't follow simple health code. That's only from what we could see, no telling what's happening behind the desk. The owner was rude and unprofessional. Had no care for his customers or the health code.

Update: and then the owner wants to make ignorant comments on my review in hopes he can save his business. This guy is the worst business owner I've known. I hope the place gets shut down and the health dept. Called on them. Statements I have said are true. He is...
