Deco Deli and Catering — Restaurant in Tulsa

Stopped by Wednesday for a quick lunch with my sister. While the quickness escaped us, it was through no fault of the staff who dealt with an out the door lunch rush line in just 15 minutes, and got us our food in just under 10 more. I can see some people finding that a reason to knock a star off, but if you'd seen how packed the place was you'd be a giddy as me.

The Philtower sandwich was everything I wanted it to be, which was a simple turkey sandwich on good bread. There's something to be said about doing the basics just the right way and I think this place makes a great example of that. Working across the street is definitely going to have me coming by more often, especially now that I've seen the $7 Toaster Sandwiches for breakfast on their chalkboards.

Deco Deli is hands down one of the best spots in downtown Tulsa. The food is consistently amazing—fresh, flavorful, and made with care every single time. No matter what you order, you know you’re getting something delicious.

What truly sets Deco Deli apart is the people. For over five years, they’ve had the same dedicated team, and that says a lot about the kind of place this is. The staff is always welcoming, making you feel like a regular even on your first visit. Their friendly and familiar faces create an atmosphere that’s warm, inviting, and just makes you want to come back.

Whether you’re stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or just a quick bite, you can always count on great service, great food, and a place that feels like home....

They make great sandwiches, but I have one of those moments today that will just leave a permanent bad taste in my mouth.

Breakfast sandwich comes with your choice of meat. A side of meat is $3.

I don't eat pork and they have no non-pork alternatives, so I ask if I can have avocado instead, a $2 charge on their menu.

So I get charged sandwich +$2.

So the cost of this sandwich is less and they are charging me more because I don't eat pork. I could even understand a $1 upcharge for, say, turkey bacon bc it would be a less common ingredient for them to stock.

But you know they are using...
