Shortstop Deli

Super friendly service. Nice sandwiches as well! Old style ordering via a paper form but the result is good. The place looks a bit old and had no toilet for customers.

Had a quick stop for lunch here and the ordering process was smooth and fast. You circle what you want on a ticket. The sandwiches are decent, a little saltier and tougher than expected. Their chicken noodle soup was delicious. The inside is decorated with neon signs and old-fashioned menu, making the atmosphere retro and enjoyable.

Shortstop Deli has been a local institution since 1978. They operate a deli counter and convenience store with a large selection of sandwiches and snacks. They use a ticket system for ordering, which can be a little confusing if it’s your first time here. What you want to do is go up to the counter and grab a ticket. If you want a regular sandwich, you’ll want the one labeled “Ithaca style sub.” They also have tickets for breakfast sandwiches (which are really delicious) and pizza subs. Once you have your ticket, mark down what you want and give the white copy to the person making sandwiches and the yellow carbon copy to the cashier to pay. They’ll call your name when your sandwich is done. I usually take mine to go and eat it in the park, but they have tables there if you want to eat insi

I've been stopping here for the last 2 months 1 to 2 times a month and it's excellent. Always greeted with a hello and a smile on their faces. The food is always the same quality and very fresh. The very first time I stopped a young man named Noah was working and he's the main reason I've been stopping back. This is a great place to get fresh quality food in a very timely manner!

This place is AWFUL!! We are from out of town, walked in, staff just stares at you. You are supposed to know to pick up the sheet and fill out your order form? So we ordered a double turkey bacon on white, the Mac n cheese, and their king Reuben. What a joke. The Reuben was just a sauerkraut sand which. Barely any sauce, barely any meat, and on regular rye not dark rye even though they assured me it would be on Dark rye. The king is just two sandwiches so don’t order that unless you want two… The Mac n Cheese is gross wet noodles with no flavor… salt n pepper didn’t even make it taste any better… only thing edible after 50$ was the turkey sub, but it was all bread no meat even though we ordered a double. Would never, ever, in a million years send anyone here. 50$ too… wild Ithaca supports
