Reviews for Converse Deli in Spartanburg, SC
What an amazing deli!! The prices are very fair and the menu selection is fantastic! I've never had something that I didn't like... from here. The hours seem a bit limited. But the food is always quick, delicious, and fairly priced. I definitely recommendcoming in here for a bite to eat! Read more
In the corner of Converse Corners of E. Main Street, you will find an excellent sandwich shop. My wife and I visited there for... the first time on a recommendation. The sandwich selection varies from the in-house creations to the requisite choices at anydeli worth its salt. We made a selection from both categories and shared. In the picture below you will see the War Eagle thatwas in the process of consumption and next to it the classic Reuben. While the War Eagle was interesting and flavorful, theReuben was on point and will be on the reorder list. You order at the counter and are presented with the ubiquitous digitalrequest for a gratuity prior to service. Chips and a pickle accompany the sandwich. Pricing, I find, is a bit above market, butthe food is excellent, and the staff is personable. Read more
Friendly staff good sandwich its worth a try. You won't be disappointed.
I definitely want to support this place. I know what a struggle they must have in today's economic climate with rising costs... particularly affecting the restaurant industry. I regret to give anything higher than 3 stars at this point. The food wasjust.... mediocre. I bought a sandwich for $11 which I assumed would be so hearty it would feed 2 people. But upon getting ithome, it was just a regular sized sandwich with not much meat on it at all. It needed at least twice as much meat. Esp. forthat price. I tried the bread pudding. It was not nearly moist enough. It felt dry, and nothing about it was redeeming. Icouldn't eat more than a few bites of it. I will likely return sometime soon, and I hope to find a better experience so I canraise my review. With all the places offering sandwiches these days, you really have to be firing on all cylinders to stand outfrom the crowd. I'm rooting for this place to do it. The service was definitely friendly and competent. Read more
Lunch goes until 5pm and the lunch menu does not have as much as the dinner menu. The place is dark and the tables are sticky.... Do not plan your meal from the website because it is not accurate. When I ask about a soup that was on the website, the cook wasfirm to the waitress about they do not serve that no more. The tomato basil soup was very grainy and hard to stomach, but theCuban was pretty good. Read more
I?m all for supporting local so instead of Jasons deli I came here. For $10.50 I got a small mediocre sandwich withnothing to... redeem it and certainly nothing to justify the price. Pretty disappointing and a pretty nothing special sandwich. Read more
It has been a while since I last visited. Converse Deli used to be one of my favorite stops while in Spartanburg. Unfortunately,... it seems they are struggling to keep up with their once golden reputation. The decor is severely outdated with leaks and missingceiling tiles being the first thing noticed. The carpet was in need of replacement and the seating reminiscent of a 90's eradiner. The staff were audibly perturbed with each other regarding some errors with orders and the banter was audible to theentire establishment. The menu had items that the restaurant no longer offers. The work area was stacked and cluttered insomuchthat food could not be handed through the window for pickup. Additionally, my very simple order was made after someone who camein after me received multiple items. Despite all this, the food was solid and the staff very friendly to me personally. However,the lacking ambience coupled with lowered professionalism from it's team deters me from rushing back any time soon. Read more
Service was incredible!! Food was incredible. I had the tomato basil soup and smoked pimento cheese sandwich and 3 hours... later I am still full. I did not even finish the soup or eat my chips as I was that full! Can't wait to come back and tryother items!!! Read more
