    OH EM GEE I DIE. this place is so good. As a foodie-frustrated-Seattlite who all too frequently tolerates lines for over hyped food, this place was worth the line...

    My friends and I came here for lunch, and the place was super busy.  It looks like a super cool neighborhood spot.  I had the meatball sandwich and a cup of clam chowder.  The sandwich was good, but I was expecting more meat in the sandwich.  The soup was good, but not super flavorful. Based on other Yelp reviews, I should have tried the cobbler for dessert.  However, I just wasn't in the mood for dessert after lunch.

    The decor is retro and comfy casual.  Definitely a nice place to relax a bit. All in all it was a great spot for a quick bite as my friends and I headed back to Seattle.

    The line was out the door...

    This is definitely the place to be. Locals were friendly and telling us the best things to order... my husband listened and I didn't.

    I ordered the Italian and the bread was awful, stale. It was really hard to eat and not enjoyable at all.

    My hubs got the beef and mushroom hot sandwich with an odd name? He loved it! Best sandwich ever.

    Kids weren't impressed with the gobbler, we had ordered that a few days earlier from a different restaurant, that one came hot on a croissant. This was cold and on the same stale bread.

    Also couldn't resist the panda bear! It was like hostess ho hos in cake form, it was heavenly, only wish we had more!!! Even though one slice was perfect for a family of 4 to share.

    Food came out relatively fast for the amount of ppl there! Call ahead to order food to go!

    Oh my freaking god. After wandering up and down the road deciding where to eat, my wife and I chose here. We are so glad we did!
    The interior is old in a charming way. It is not made to look old and vintage, it just is. Not forced.
    I had "Some like it hot" which is a ham pastrami sandwich with provolone. That in and of itself was one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten but then they served it with a side of hot mustard that looked homemade. It was more like a chunky paste. Simply a wonderful experience.

    This is a limited review only.  

    Every year, I drive 1.5 hours to Anacortes for their Anacortes Arts Festival.  Every year, I stop at the Gere-a-Deli for their blueberry cobbler with ice cream.  Yum, yum!!  A huge stack of trays waiting to be served seemingly nonstop to the festival-goers (like me).  Scooped from a big tray with plenty of berries visible, it is best to eat it with the vanilla ice cream on top!  There is seating, bar style, at the outside of the restaurant so you can sit while you enjoy the treat.  

    The inside is always busy.  There was a long line of people studying the menu waiting to order at the register.

    Lastly, thumbs up on the name.  Nice word play of Ghirardelli.
