Gandolfo's New York Deli 755 South Vanguard Way, Meridian, ID 83642

"Delish is all I can say. The flavor from the sandwiches is on point. Happy we found this place! Service was super quick and extremely clean."

"Located off of ten mile road, this is a great location for dine in or patio dining. . Pros- Fair amount of parking, but they also have a bonus drive-through. Quick and fresh sandwich and don't forget to order an entire dill pickle because they are the the best! Huge menu board. The owner appears committed to quality food and return customers. . Cons- I waited a long time once I entered the restaurant to order, but I did make eye contact with several employees who were busy in the back servicing the drive-through. They don't allow custom creation of sandwiches, so I was able to take one of their sandwiches and modify it slightly. Basically, I swapped out the bacon for pepperoni, but I was very disappointed when there was only one thin layer of pepperoni. If I had known, I would have paid for more. The bread is unbelievably soft and should have more of a tooth. If this is pretending to be an authentic New York deli sandwich shop, then they need to find a better bakery. And trust me, I would know because I lived in NYC for 16 years. . UPDATE: I return this morning (yes, the next day) to have breakfast in their drive-thru. It was 8am, but I waited a long time for them to come to the speaker, although he did apologize. I got the "Upstate", sausage-egg-American cheese on a round roll and a bagel. Not listed, but they do offer; ketchup on sandwiches, cream cheese on the bagels (toasted if you'd like) and drip-coffee. I waited about 12 mins while they made my order fresh as I watched through the window. The cook was very clean, wearing gloves and did a great job. The sandwich was truly fantastic, except for the roll which was sorely disappointing. Just as the sandwich the day before, the bread here is dismal. Maybe they are cutting corners, but it shows in the flavorless and texture-less bread. The bagel was extremely sad, although prepared properly, the bread again was an issue (no chew) and I had ordered an onion bagel, but received a plain bagel. The cream cheese was flavorful and plentiful, but oddly loose and not firm (do they mix it with a filler?). All food was wrapped expertly and securely by the cook. I would return to try more from the menu."

"Food was great, always a huge fan of the breakfast sandwiches. I eat at the other Meridian location often. This food was fresh, cooked to perfection and the customer service was great. My only complaint would be the order was 10 minutes late. I placed the order online, the food was to be ready by a certain time but was not finished until 10 minutes later. I completely understand this food is made to order. I just felt like it would be done by the time given on the website and ended up being a bit late to where I was headed because of it."
