Tower Deli & Diner

Went there today for brunch /​lunch and as usual food and service was good. Place was clean and nice all around.
We have been going there for a while now and I can honestly say it’s always a good experience ;-)

The food was very good. Nice portions and quick. Anna was super nice and very helpful.

Got the potato scramble and my GF got the Peppers and Sausage omelette. For the most part, both were flavorless. Not a large amount of food for the $ 8 price. Was packed though when we arrived. Had our dogs so we sat outside but there was no service out there. Overall alright experience.

If you close your eyes, it’s very easy to think you’re in New York at this place. Food is great, service is awesome.

I have had breakfast many times over the years. Somethings changed .It seems they are now working over customers for an extra 2 bucks. They were out of oat meal and waitress suggested I have home fries, not a big home fry eater but figured I’d eat couple bites since no oatmeal. They never mention that they are now charging for it so I paid for potatoes I really didn’t want. It’s a sneaky trick. Wasn’t the two bucks that pissed me off. It was the cheesy tactic they’ve adopted. Don’t think I will go back and it’s a shame because it’s close to my home

The company I work for gives this place so much business. I was a little perplexed and heated when I called to place an order and told them I had 4 separate orders within the order and they let me get all the way through to the 4^th order and there will be a $ 2.50 charge for the 4^th credit card. This is not good customer service and I can promise you I won’t give the business another dime of my money. Their explanation was that «it takes so much more time to type in the 4^th credit card». This is pure laziness and I refuse to support a business with such poor business practices. If my party walked in to the store and paid separately we wouldn’t be charged this outrageous fee. Never again.

We tried this place a while ago and thought it may have been a one off bad experience but today was actually worse. We were served by a busboy, our only interaction with a waitress was her slapping the bill on our table and literally saying nothing. Terrible terrible service. Oh and the bagel was super dry, I’m no bagel expert but these are not made fresh. If I could give zero stars I would, but the mandatory one star can go to the bus boy who at least kept the coffee refilled. Will never be back, no idea where all these fluffy five star reviews are coming from.

Already ordered here twice for delivery. Got the turkey avocado wrap both times with dressing on the side. Super good and filling! Only complaint is that the food isn’t that budget friendly (although it is really good) and there’s a minimum delivery amount ($ 15) and a delivery fee.

Fantastic place, had the cornflake french toast breakfast with a side of corn beef hash it was outstanding. This will be our new place for weekend breakfast.

Have been eating here for years. Used to be a quick and cheap breakfast with decent portion sizes. They sold the place to someone who changed the menu prices in a sneaky conniving way. They nickel and dime you, sides of potatoes are no longer included, they’re a la carte and $ 2 more and portion sizes are smaller. The servers claim it comes to the same price but they clearly haven’t done the math.
Needless to say, We no longer come here.

Very crowded on the weekends, today (Saturday) no exception. We were seated immediately right smack in the middle (2 seat table). We were there approximately 10 min before a BUSBOY came and actually took our drink order. The waitress came @10 minutes later took our order, refilled my ice tea and never returned. 4 tables were seated after we came in. All 4 tables received their food and we still sat there. Approximately 45 minutes later I approached the cashier and said all these customers seated around us came in after Us And are eating their food, where’s ours? The waitress said she didn’t know what happened. Seriously? We walked out. No compensation, nothing. Not even an apology. We will never step foot in that place again.

First time here. Nice, clean and cute inside. You seat yourself and a server comes within moments. I ordered the matzo ball soup and it was delicious. All homemade. And I ordered the Mac and cheese and bacon sandwich special, which happens to include drink for only $ 8.99. Not only did it look amazing it also smelled like heaven (it was the fresh pressed garlic on the toast)!!! Server Pam was very helpful, attentive and I never had an empty cup of coffee. It was pretty busy and they had a good amount of customers. The server attendant, Pollo, was great too! He was always around to clean and keep everything tidy. Even the chef asked me how my meal was. He was excited to hear feedback on his new creation! You can tell they work as a team here. Over all I am IMPRESSED!!!

I am from New England and am accustomed to good bagels, tower deli can feed my need in south Florida. Try the lox sandwich and hazelnut coffee! Support small business especially when they’re great

I’m pretty impressed with this deli– their food, the friendly staff, and excellent service. I stopped here to grab lunch to go and ordered the corned beef omelette with home fries, a roast beef sandwich, and a side of bacon.
My boyfriend really enjoyed his omelette and the bacon was cooked perfectly– crispy & not too greasy. My roast beef sandwich was nice and thick, but next time I’ll probably get a different bread other than rye. When I was checking out, I used the Unilocal check in deal and got a free coffee & even got it iced, which was a pleasant refresher on a hot day.

I came here because we were looking for breakfast on our last day in town ever. The egg and cheese sandwiches are amazing. And the servers are such sweethearts, so involved with every customer, always available and with quick service. I thought I would never find good service anywhere in south Florida. Too bad we are moving, but I highly recommend this place. And they have student discount!

Went here for breakfast on a Saturday morning and ordered the corned beef hash and eggs. Very good and fast service. Saw the workers cutting up fresh salmon so would def order that next time. The veggie cream cheese is also a winner. Only downfall is their bagels aren’t that great and the place is small!

Came here on a Saturday at 1:45 PM (they closed at 3 on this day). Before I get into what happened here, I’ll note that this a classic old-​school diner, in the best (cheap, small, you walk up to pay) and worst (booths and table settings are disgustingly nasty, as in, you-don’t-want-to-touch-the-salt-shaker-or-the-handle-on-the-syrup-dispenser nasty) sense of the phrase.
Ordered a Waffle, since the menu says, «Breakfast Served All Day».
I was told that I couldn’t have one because «they turn the waffle iron off at 12 noon».
Well, how is that «all day» then?
I worked in restaurants in my youth, so I understand the concept of starting to shut things down early so everyone can leave at quitting time on the dot — as a customer I dont agree with it, and have come to know that this is bad business — but I understand that it happens. The 1-​star review is due to the way the aftermath was handled.
I ordered something else, ate, and quietly asked for the manager when I approach the register to pay my bill. The woman reiterated that they shut things down early «on weekends» (yes, I know this). When I reflected the «Breakfast Served All Day» notation on their menu she looked at me like a dig who had just heard a high-​pitched whistle.
The owner — a scrawny white guy wearing blue — was a few feet away as this conversation happened, watching and listening. He never spoke up and didn’t approach as the conversation progressed. In my view, that’s his implicit co-​signing of the «policy».
All the time we were eating, the employees were shutting things down — the salad bar, the entire grill — and this isn’t good business. This is an old-​school diner, from back in the days (like the 90s when I was a busboy at Friendly’s) when you stopped serving certain foods 90 minutes before your posted closing time and told your customers «tough shit» when they asked what the deal was. You know, pre-​social media (and Unilocal).
This is not a campaign to destroy their business or receive some sort of restitution, but when you make a mistake as a business, there is a way to handle it and a way not to. A simple gesture of, «sir, since you couldn’t get waffle that’s on our menu that DOES say „Breakfast Served All Day“, how about we double your French Toast order for you?» would’ve showed that they gave a damn. But that didn’t happen, and the manager and owner co-​signed the act, which means this is just the culture of the place.
Maybe in this area of strip malls and long-​standing establishments (that is slowly being business-​gentrified) that still flies. Fine by me, but businesses should remember that a customer is worth much more than the one time they stopped in – plus the dozens who won’t come if a bad review gets spread. See what I did there? :)

A trip home to visit the family in FL would never be complete without breakfast at a Tower Deli with Nana and Papa. It’s the first thing I think of when booking a flight, it’s one of my strongest motivations to get on that flight the day I leave, and it’s the last thing I’m sure to do before returning to Reno each time I visit. I love long mornings lingering around the table catching up with my grandparents over coffee. No matter how old I get, I always feel like a kid again when my Papa calls me to ask «Wanna go to breakfast?» Frankly the food and service here could be terrible, and I’s still keep coming because of how special the company I’m with truly is and how much I continue to love my time spent there.
But the good news is that nothing sucks at Tower, in fact everything is great! The servers are sweet and sassy, just like you’d expect, the deli meats are perfectly sliced and seasoned, served piled high on rye with a side of mustard, and the bagels and lox, well forget about it, best in town.
The staff at Tower Deli has been taking care of my Nana and Papa for years now, and they treat them as part of their family, with love, respect, and admiration. In turn, my grandparents have made them a part of ours. I’m grateful for the affection they show my grandparents, and because of it, Tower Deli will always have a special place in my heart.

Ducked in with Marnie the biz partner to talk crime-​fighting, law enforcement, social media for politicians, and making Broward County a better place to live in and I’m glad we did, here’s why:
* This was the first time I tried Kennesaw Premium Lemonade (since 1923) — YUM!
* Enjoyed a warm Tuna + Bacon Panini with Cheesey — SCORE!
I’m a lemonade fan. I love the flavor, and lemons are good for the skin, and help combat stone disease. This Kennesaw stuff was a hit. A little on the sweet side for my liking, but I can taste the fresh-​squeezed lemons so that rocks.
The panini tasted fantastic. You pretty much can’t go wrong with bacon. The texture was a little off… The tuna is too fine, so it feels a little mushy. Maybe adding some kale will help firm up the bite a bit? Or chunkier tuna? Just my opinion.
Good experience all around. I hear the french toast is «the best ever» here, so I will have to do the ‘olé doubleback and check it out.
Cabeza OUT!

Our waitress was very friendly, but I felt like she would forget we were there. I didn’t get any refills on my drink, even tough I was finished with it halfway through my meal. When I got my bill she saw that it was empty and offered a refill, but I was eager to get out.
Speaking of the bill, WAY too expensive for what you get. I got the ‘overstuffed’ turkey sandwich, my usual order for delis. First, it’s not ‘overstuffed’ when you just put all the meat in the center and leave the sides empty. I evened out the turkey over the sandwich and it was what I’d expect from a Publix sub. Second, charging $ 11 for an ‘alright’ sandwich is crazy.
I guess when you have regular customers, you can do what you want and nobody complains, but the issues I had with this place are similar to other Unilocalers.
I love supporting small businesses, but this doesn’t seem to be a place for me.
