Hometown Deli & Grocery

I ordered kegs for my cousins wedding from Hometown Deli. They have a large and interesting selection. Cody was really great. The distributors fell through on their commitments just two days before the wedding and he worked tirelessly to make it right for us. I will definitely go back for the selection and the customer service.

Hometown is a great place to get local NY beers. My husband had a hard time leaving.
There is a small amount of grocery items as well, the basics and snacks mostly.
They also have this deli portion up front and serve Boars Head meat. Everything in the cold case looked amazing, had I not just come from lunch I would have tried many things.
Overall a great gem tucked away in a small city.

This used to be Woody’s but Hometown has carried the torch well here. Best selection of Craft Beer/​lot of local selections and imports. Excellent Sandwiches & Boars Head Meats. Staff is very knowledgeable about its products and gives heads up on what new beers on coming in. It is not in the main shopping areas of Downtown or Southside but about three blocks away from the center of town.

Stopped in here while driving through Oneonta and I was very pleasantly surprised with the beer selection. They had lots of brews from around the area and many good micro/​craft brews from around the northeast/​midwest. I didn’t get to try the sandwiches, but they looked really good.

Most importantly they sell a great variety of beers. Many are microbrews, and many are local, but they’ve also got some great imports, too.
They use Boars Head meat for their sandwiches, which is plus; and they do it without overcharging. I had a sub, and the sub roll was nice an chewy — it tasted bakery made, not like some piece of bread designed to be stored in plastic for a long time. I was definitely excited about that after so many strike-​outs at other delis and sub shops. My only complaint is, as with many businesses in the area, they choose to use ciabatta for sandwiches — doesn’t anyone in this town use hard rolls? kaiser rolls?
I’ve been here a few times, and I’ll definitely be going back for the great beer and sandwiches.

We found this place by chance, after a local health food store proprietor told us about it during an emergency «we need mozzarella» call. It’s a classic Italian-​style deli. After three visits in one short week, here are 9 things I think you should know about this cool little grocery store.
1. The sandwiches are yummy and fairly priced.
2. They offer three (3) mustard options, like civilized human beings.
3. They sell 200+ «specialty beers,» many of them from microbreweries in the local upstate NY area, nationwide, and internationally. Seriously good selection to which the local Hannaford’s supermarket (which is about a thousand times bigger) cannot hold a candle.
4. Corn muffins are good, taste– and texture-​wise.
5. Service is friendly and prompt.
6. Generous store hours from 8 – 8 M-​Sat, and 9 – 5 on Sunday. You certainly cannot say that about every small business in Oneonta.
7. They sell a fabulous «Steak Delmonico.» Seriously, we bought two steaks and grilled them. They were by far the best steaks we’ve had in a long, long, long time.
8. Good breakfast sandwiches. Try the eggs on the seeded multigrain roll.
9. Remember that all truly good things, like this place, can be found by getting off the beaten path. Just a few blocks from Main Street, but worth the little amble.
