Food Stops: The Deli Stop

The smiles on the little leaguer faces are stretched wide across their faces. Its evident where they are going; the Deli Stop.

“When I was in little league, all of us wanted to go to the Deli Stop,” sophomore Drew Galaway said. “The food is great and everybody loves to hang out there.”

A big reason why many people love the Deli Stop is because of the owner, Marty Steele.

“Marty is a great guy, and he is known by many people in the community,” senior Bryan Waters said.

Steele is widely known in the PQ area. He is an umpire for the Rancho Penasquitos little league, and has coached there for many years.

The Deli Stop is not only a great place to hang out and chill with your friends, but the food there is, also great.

“The California Chicken Philly is amazing,” freshmen Matthew MacRae said. “The burgers and the fries are as great as it gets. And the onion rings are also a great appetizer to snack on.”

Among the other food that is included is the Club sandwich, which is one of the restaurant’s specials. The Tony Gwynn burger is also a fan favorite. Some of the ingredients on the Tony Gwynn burger include a garlic toasted bun with the patty, and all the works. Also, included with onion rings.

The Deli Stop is known more to athletes who grew up in the Penasquitos area. Since so many people have grown up eating at the Deli Stop, many of those people have told their friends about the restaurant making the Deli Stop much more popular.

“I grew up going to the Deli Stop so often, Marty [Steele] knew what I was going to order before I even had a chance to speak,” Waters said. “I told many of my friends about this place and they started to love this place as much as I do. I’m glad they are doing well because it’s a great place for all ages.”

Like Waters said, the Deli Stop is a very relaxed place to go and everybody always knows that it will be a pleasurable place to spend lunch.
