2nd Street Deli Makes a Strong Case for a Laramie Lunch

Ratings and overall read

Public feedback presents 2nd Street Deli as a reliable, budget-friendly stop for sandwiches and comfort food in Laramie. Its 4.9 Google rating from 186 reviews is supported by recurring praise for well-made food, welcoming service and prompt preparation. Several reviewers found the deli while passing through town and described it as a satisfying alternative to a chain restaurant. Others highlighted the local atmosphere and said they would return on future trips.

The overall pattern is unusually consistent. Diners tend to mention both the food and the staff, rather than praising one while overlooking the other. Portions also appear substantial, particularly in the case of the Bombay spinach salad, which one reviewer described as generously served.

Sandwiches lead the menu

Sandwiches receive the broadest approval. The turkey basil cheddar appears repeatedly, including one version described as being served on homemade bread. A chicken club also surfaces more than once, with one diner specifically noting that its chicken and bacon arrived hot from the grill. Other favorably mentioned choices include the Reuben, BLT, honey mustard chicken, grilled cheese and a turkey cheddar sandwich with green chile and blackberry.

That range suggests a deli comfortable with both familiar combinations and more distinctive additions. The recurring turkey basil cheddar looks like the clearest starting point, while the chicken club should suit diners seeking a hot, filling sandwich. Reviewers repeatedly call the sandwiches excellent, and there are no notable complaints about bread, fillings or portion size in the supplied feedback.

Mac, salads and sides

Mac and cheese is the other recurring draw. Reviews mention standard, vegan and pesto versions, with chicken added to the pesto mac and cheese in one order. The vegan preparation earned particular praise from a diner who was surprised by how much they enjoyed it, though that same review noted a little spice. That hint of heat may matter to diners expecting a mild bowl.

Side dishes receive less attention but still add to the deli’s appeal. Red potato salad was described positively, as was pesto pasta salad. The Bombay spinach salad offers a non-sandwich option and was singled out for its generous portion.

Service and setting

Friendly, helpful counter service is one of the strongest themes across the public reviews. First-time visitors appreciated suggestions, while road-trip diners described the staff as courteous, attentive and quick. Food was also reported to arrive promptly, making the deli appear practical for lunch breaks and travel stops as well as unhurried meals.

Descriptions of the room vary slightly. One reviewer found ample indoor seating, while another called the interior small but said it still accommodated a group of about eight. The safest conclusion is that the space can handle groups, though it may feel compact depending on the time. One diner also considered it suitable for a casual date. Taken together, the reviews point to an approachable local deli with broad sandwich appeal, comforting sides and service that leaves a strong impression.
