A roomy San Diego deli for classic sandwiches and all-day breakfasts with friendly service, but quality can swing from excellent to underwhelming depending on the dish and day.
Elijah's delivers reliable neighborhood deli dining with attentive, friendly service and spacious, comfortable seating that make it a practical choice for families and casual meals. Solid food quality on signature items like pastrami and brisket sandwiches is offset by inconsistent sandwich builds and occasional bread freshness issues, preventing the higher reliability needed for grade A territory. Good value on select specials and a loyal following support its standing as a worthwhile local option.
One caveat: Sandwich consistency varies from overstuffed to thin depending on visit
