Just visited this location for the first time. We were a greeted by a nice young lady and she gave us a brief introduction to the menu. I went with a trio special which contains 3 different deli meats. Also, all sandwiches are 10 inches. One sandwich and a can of Coke came to $21 . I’d say the quality was perfect but I expected a little more… the taste of olive oil and vinegar was overpowering and I couldn’t taste the meat much. However, the presentation was nice and the bread was fresh and delicious.

Just tried the Capocollo Sammy from Harper’s Deli and wow… it absolutely hit the spot! The flavor was on point — fresh, stacked perfectly, and honestly one of the best sandwiches I’ve had in a long time. Harper’s never disappoints, and they’ve even leveled up their branding with that new sticker — small touch, but it really makes them stand out. If you haven’t been yet, you’re seriously missing out. Sometimes it’s the simple things — like a killer sandwich — that just make your whole day better. Go check them out, support local, and thank me later

Been meaning to try this place for a while now and finally drove by during business hours. We ordered two different sandwiches, the Harp’s and Supreme. We both preferred the Harp’s but the Supreme was tasty, too. The meat is generous and the bread is fantastic but for me something is missing. I think because we passed on the spicy bomba, it made the sandwich lose a star. That’s not on them, although maybe a non-spicy version of bomba for those with delicate palates would put it over the top!! I do think the sandwich is worth the price as they add a lot of high quality meat in them, but it’s not really in our budget for a quick lunch. For us, it would be a special treat from time to time. Still, if you are looking for a really good Sammy, GO!

We ordered about 50 sandwiches for our staff appreciation lunch. The staff loved it, and the sandwiches were fresh, the ordering was easy and staff were fantastic!! I highly recommend Harper's Deli for 1 or as many as you can eat!! Great to support a local family business too!

awesome sandwiches, the Trip Plus was top notch. Love the bread! I lose interest when a place uses pedestrian bread (looking at you, Big John's) but this bread was fantastic along with the meat and toppings too of course. Great place.

First time going there. I got the trio+ sub. The person who took my order was super helpful to explain the options. I love how the sub is super tightly rolled. It's like it's a wrap but it's a sub! Super delicious! There are only two booth to sit at, so this is more of a take away deli.

Amazing sub. Had a free to play arcade cabinet as well. Friendly service, cool atmosphere. Easily one of the best subs I’ve ever had. Will absolutely visit again. And the price is right - about average for a sub, maybe a little more but I would easily pay more than I did today for that sub. Incredible.

Heard about this hidden gem via a few friends as they recently located to a new location in Waterloo. I gotta say the hype did not disappoint….Very generous amount of meat and veggies on fresh bread baked daily. I got the supreme and definitely would recommend and will be coming back. Also good to note that if you like sauce on your subs I would highly recommend paying $2 extra for the deli mustard, mayo and bomb sauce as it definitely makes the sub in my personal opinion. Lots of parking available just make sure you have enough time as it’s a small run family joint and lines at lunch can be long so would give yourself minimum 20 - 30 minutes -Ace
