Bo Diddley's Deli — Restaurant in St. Cloud

Normally a terrific local sandwich shop, been customer for 25 years of St. Cloud location (former downtown), however last six months sub sandwich portions at 25th location continually going down, lot's of bread! lot's of lettuce!! dont look for meat, it wont be there 😪, and what sub shop sells cheese as an "extra" add-on item for a sub??!! That's like buying pop but the carbonation is an extra charge... ridiculous. Conclusion: nice old-fashion aptmosphere sandwhich place w/alternative menu items to Subway, but need to try harder to get used tables cleaned faster for new seating and often half tables (and window seats) reserved for cribbage club patrons, this is overbearing and frequently annoying "..damn! opps, I forgot and came in the middle of a sunny afternoon, cribbage!! no seating!" Won't be customer for long time (if again) due to continued cheap...

Me and my fiance went here once and it became an inside joke about how if we ever wanted to cleanly break up, we would go here. Simply because the food and atmosphere was so depressing and flavorless that I thought she wanted to tell me that she absolutely hated me. How do you make a sandwich so bland, so absolutely grey and lifeless that you make tofu look like a delicious wagyu steak? Somehow I still taste this terrifyingly awful meal like a PTSD fit taking me back to Vietnam, and I'm only 30. Maybe that says something about just how dated and unimaginative this little hole-in-the-wall truly is, but hey, maybe the older individuals like it seeing as the pastries were a fan favorite of two retiree's that sat with us in this empty, stagnant relic...

Great food at a great price! Bo didds is an institution around here. I really miss the downtown St. Cloud location and their Greek pizza; I think I got one of those every week when they were open. I also love their sandwiches (cold or heated)... they have awesome bread and use quality ingredients. My other go-to is their veggie pita pocket. I love the spicy guac dressing and the sprouts. I was there a week or two ago and the two guys made the best pita pocket I’ve had in a while there; perfect proportions :) Their soups are some of the best in the area too. Oh and don’t forget their baklava! Bo Didds has the best baklava in town, hands down. I usually go to their 25th Ave location in St. Cloud now, but their St Joe location is I think...
