The Market Deli, 20 North Main Street, is a great place to sit back and relax while getting a delicious bite of food. Showing your student ID will get you a great meal deal on a budget.

The roast beef swiss sandwich on white bread with a side of french onion soup.

I have always loved delis. The delicious mix of fresh meat and vegetables on homemade bread brings back memories and ignites the taste buds.

The newly re-opened Main Place Deli, 20 North Main St. No. 108, is a typical Deli, but the robust flavors and helpful staff make this a sandwich shop that stands out against the crowd of fast food dominance.

A soup de jour and fresh made bread daily, with choices including white, wheat and this writers favorite, sourdough, are an essential part of a home town deli and Main Place has hit the nail on the head.  

Upon opening the door the fresh smells were immediate, and the old photographs on the wall told the story of early St. George. I wanted to step back in time and forget about the hustle and bustle of today.

My meal choice of the day was a simple soup and sandwich. The turkey combination with sprouts and tomato made my day, and the sweet French onion soup made the au jous.  The soup was full of flavor but sweeter than I was used to, which wasn’t a bad thing.  It was just a great new spin.

Store manager Ro Brick said business was picking up and while the holidays made it difficult to advertise, she expects to hear quite a bit about this wonderful new Main Street culinary experience. (Google Maps reviews are already full of delighted customers ranting about the breakfast burrito).

I inquired about college student specials and was informed any student can get a sandwich, chips or a cookie and a drink for just $4 (just bring your ID).

The deli is open Monday though Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and closed on the weekends.  

While I may sound simple to please, I would encourage everyone to try out a little bit of old St. George mixed with new flavor.
