Lakewood Ranch Deli — Restaurant in Sarasota

I wish I had known about the introductory coupon because I came there today for my first time and it looked great from the outside. It's in a nice little area and it's nice on the inside. The people are really nice but I mistakenly tried to go with something safe and went with the chicken salad in a wrap. I don't know what I was thinking. Maybe it's my fault.

That being said it shouldn't be that difficult to make chicken salad it's just mayonnaise and good quality chicken with some other ingredients.

I have to say and I can't say for sure that it's just their chicken salad or not but this was one of the worst chicken salads I've ever had.

I even brought the second half home and tried to salvage it by adding bacon and ingredients that can usually save a sandwich and it just hadn't off taste to it.

I wouldn't have cared so much if it wasn't $17 and change for a simple chicken salad wrap and a bottled water with no option of getting tap water.

Out of all the places I've had lunch at on University or nearby this is definitely the most expensive I have experienced. At least as far as fast food places go. $17 is a bit much. Way too much!

Especially since there was absolutely nothing special about it and it had kind of an off taste.

I definitely am not saying not to try this place. I may have just gotten the wrong sandwich but I want the owners to see this so maybe they can do something about it. I understand food is expensive nowadays but that's definitely pushing it for what I got. It didn't even come with a bag of chips.

And watch their commercial and their sandwiches on their commercial all came with chips and a pickle so I'm not really sure what happened there and I had also asked for a turkey club and they said that I could ask for a turkey and add bacon which I'm assuming would have been like $20.

The sandwich is on the commercial looked much better than my rap and perhaps I'll go back and try a regular...

Ate here for the first time today. WOW!! EVERYTHING was great. My pastrami reuben was amazing. Loaded with meat that was the tenderest I've had, on fresh delicious pumpernickel bread. My husband had a Cuban sandwich that he went crazy for. Pressed just right with tender, flavorful meats. The place was spotless! And, the owners & staff were very friendly and attentive. EAT HERE, YOU WILL LOVE IT! P.S. It's nice to see the owners interact with customers about their quality. We will be back, and if you want great food and service this is the place for you. Helen & Bobby So, come by &...

Pleasant surprise, never knew this place was here - inside is clean and comfortable. Located in the San Marco Plaza, I’ve driven by it 100s of times but glad I tried on a recommendation.

I tried the Chicken Salad and the Ruben Sandwiches and the bread is fantastic, not sure if they bake it there but it’s probably direct from a bakery daily. Service is friendly and my orders came out incredibly quick.

I don’t know of any true deli’s in the area so normally have to hit Publix for lunch....
