Hobe Sound Delicatessen — Restaurant in Florida

We stopped by Hobe Sound Deli on our way north from Miami. We've never been there before. When we arrived for a late lunch around 1pm, there were already a  few people ahead of us and more arriving behind. Very busy yet efficient restaurant. The employees were patient as we looked over the menu a few times. It was fun to watch the process as they filled orders. I was impressed  that the employees new a few people by name as they walked in. I was so excited they had a liverwurst sandwich on the menu. I love liverwurst and hardly buy it because I'm the only one who likes it. As we made our order, I asked the owner for his recommendation for sandwich vs sub and everything was spot on. We ordered a liverwurst sandwich, rueben sandwich, pastrami sub, cracked pepper turkey sub and a chicken salad. I was also pleased by their chip selection and that they had pork rinds available. We took our haul over to the beach which had multiple picnic tables covered by a pavilion. It was a rather breezy, but we held down our napkins and bags with water bottles. We shared everything. A first time restaurant, why not? The reuben sandwich was my favorite; by far the best I've had in years. The liverwurst did not disappoint either; delicious! My husband loved their soft bread and meat on his pastrami. Our kids loved everything, minus my liverwurst sandwich. Our 6 year old did like it though. 😁 On a longer visit I'd love to explore the beach and the town. All in all, 10/10 I'd recommend. Next time we're in the area,...

I moved to Hobe Sound last year after 50 years in Palm Beach County. With many fewer close-by restaurants than down there, I was on the lookout for places that were very good. I took my classic car to the oil change business next door to the Deli (they have a pit like in the old days, and that works for my specific car). I wandered over to the Deli and ordered a sandwich to take home. I am a chicken salad fanatic, and I must say, theirs is as good as any I have ever had. I have also ordered roast beef, turkey, and ham and cheese subs over the last year, with various sides and even containers of chicken salad for later, and everything is super good. The owners are as nice as they can be, and the service is EXCELLENT, whether you call ahead or wait for the food to be made. I can't think of a place in Palm Beach County that is any better or more enjoyable to deal with, so they have my business whenever I want what they offer. (You gotta try the chicken salad if you like...

Great deli with friendly employees 👌. I have had their hot pastrami on rye, chicken salad on rye, and a cold corned beef/pastrami on rye bread. ALL were excellent and filling. Imo the larger "sub" sandwich would be too much for most. It does come ala cart, so pickle spear, potato or pasta salad, chips, and drink are all extra. Expect to pay around $18 for sandwich, chips, and drink. My only complaint would be that the chicken and wild rice soup that I ordered today was room temperature! I had to go back in and ask them to heat it up. Not sure why that occurred, as they had been open for hours prior to my visit. If I had one suggestion to make, it would be to put an awning on the back of the building to shade a couple of picnic tables. There is no seating, so I had to eat in my car. Fortunately, there was a shade tree across the street, at a closed bank,...
