The Meat Slicer Deli - Apache Junction, Arizona

The atmosphere is weird. It's confusing to even know what to order; weird confusing signs everywhere. Nothing looks like a menu. The person who came out to apparently take my order didn't say anything for an awkward amount of time. I asked where to order from and the handwritten price of things was faded from time. The clothes this person chose to wear to work looked like what one might wear on laundry day when the only thing available is lint covered terry cloth short shorts and a faded old T-shirt. Very unprofessional and VERY awkward!!! How they have any business at all is unbelievable. I couldn't leave fast enough. But I did. I feel bad. I really wanted to like this place and I was really hungry.

Waiting 40 minutes for a single sandwich with 3 people in this restaurant total is insane. I want an hour of my Saturday back from this. I could have walked to Fry’s and made one in the parking lot for that much time.

Tried for the first time and the last. We didn't want to spend too much so we ordered a "large" sandwich to split. Ask the person how big the sandwiches are usually and was told it would be a good size. Nope, the bread was thicker than the meat portion. I took one bite and was done. I was very disappointed and won't recommend this place.

We were in AJ today looking at a few flea markets and decided to get lunch and the Meat Slicer had a 4.5 rating and a deli sandwich sounded good to the both of us. So we went there and got a Slicer special to split with a couple waters and Cheetos. Before tax and tip that order was $17.15 after $21.60. The sandwich was very good with
Loads of meat, but a deli should have some side salad and a pickle having a healthy portion of meats is just the start especially for a $12.69 sandwich. People were very nice, the server is a bit lackluster but that's pretty much what you get these days. The selection of drinks and chips was VERY LIMITED also another fail for a "deli". My rating for this establishment if I were talking about the sandwich only would be a 4.5, but given the idea we were going to a local deli with such a high rating within YELP our expectations were much higher.

Editing since trying the sandwiches- orders were wrong. Not even edible. Reached out to the owner but the email is invalid and he won’t answer my texts. Just wanted my $27 refund for my bad experience and inedible sandwiches 🙂

Writing this review before even eating the sandwich. Waited 30 minutes as the only customer for two sandwiches. The prices are outrageous for two sandwiches. Love supporting local but def won’t be back here.

I’ve heard this place has big great sandwiches! I’ve never been in before 5 mins ago we walk in and the lady behind the counter walks from behind to the front register and stands there and looks at us haha no words exchange said hello still no words spoken kinda thinking if I walk out now I can avoid more awkwardness but I stuck it through oh I haven’t put my contacts in today yet so I couldn’t read or see anything I joked about this but still no expression no words exchanged still my partner in crime read the signs to me so I ordered very simple I’d like wheat bread, pastrami, pepper jack the sign says it comes with with lettuce tomato and onion she clarified I said all with mustard now I’m in the car eating this bomb roast beef and lettuce sandwich won’t be back good food good price horrible everything else

Excellent sandwiches and excellent staff. I picked up four sandwiches to split with my kids, we tried a variety of their specials and they were all good. We liked the Hawaiian and the Turkey Avocado the most. The guy running the place was friendly and made great sandwiches. Thank you for an A+ sandwich and I'll see you guys the next time I'm in Apache Junction.

Great food. Gorgeous presentation. The bread is so amazing fresh. They have party plates. Give them.a call or drop in. I'll be back again. I left with half a sandwich. This doubled my value. It's enough food to fill a teen.
