It's good food. The diet rootbeer I would avoid; it very much tastes like the make your own soda syrups, but the coffee is beautiful and food is amazing and the service and atmosphere all fantastic. :)

In general, this is a coffee shop that you have to try. I stopped by for lunch and had the meat sandwich, which was lovely. The portion was enough and came with a little bit of potato chips. I would recommend adding some hot sauce, as it enhances the flavor even more. The venue is pretty calm, making it a great spot to relax, and the servers are friendly and attentive. Overall, a wonderful experience that I highly recommend!

It's a nice little deli with a very comfortable patio. Our server was friendly but the food took a while to be served.. We weren't in a hurry so we were not too concerned. I had the roast beef sandwich and it was served nice and warm. My friend had the chef's salad and it was a good portion and she said it was delicious.

I just had the best roast beef sandwich of my long and eventful life. The whole vibe took me back to the 70s. Earthy. Relaxed. Friendly. Gentle. Hand drawn menus. Decent pricing. This was on my bucket list. No longer. It's now on my Go To list.

As soon as you walk in the doors you are welcomed by an aroma of smoked meat!! Stopped by here on my drive through Chilliwack. The sandwich I got was the smoked meat which it was good but I think cuz I’ve been spoiled with smoked meat in Montreal my expectations are too high. I have a big appetite so I didn’t find having one sandwich was filling enough for me. The drink I had I can’t remember what it was called but it was so delish!! I would def come back if I’m driving through to try their other dishes.

What an amazing experience at this restaurant. I cane in and right away a huge weight came ane out of my shoulder… the ambiance, the decor, the welcoming from the staff!!! Something just extraordinary. You do need to visit this cozy restaurant, almost like a Friends visit. The food was just as amazing as the ppl and the story behind the food service is really outstanding . Thank you guys and keep the great job. Cant wait to try the one In Kingston Ontario.

Wow! This was the best meal of the weekend! Great friendly staff, the coolest atmosphere, and the food is made with love (that secret ingredient was confirmed by our waiter). HIGHLY recommend the cold apple cider, chili, the rose sandwich (the most tender roast beef ever!), and the cheese cake pie (blueberry was recommended and amazing!). Can't wait to visit again!

Interesting decor. Delicious food. Great service, albeit slightly slow depending on how busy the place is. Wait times can be long during peak periods. Everything from the breads to the soups are made in-house. Prices are reasonable, location has ample parking available. Highly recommended for a quick bite or a meal with family.

The restaurant s quaint wooden building and large hand-painted flower sign attracted me. As you push the door open, American western cowboy music flows. The interior of the restaurant is also decorated with logs. The wood is peeling and burning in the fireplace. This is truly an authentic restaurant from the pioneer period! The selling point is the burger sandwich, served with secret soup. My son and I each ordered Deli Lamb and Deli Rose burgers, and todays soup is pumpkin soup. Since Christmas is approaching, I added a cup of Chai Nog and finished it off with carrot cake. Unexpectedly, every dish is delicious. Different hamburger buns are matched with corresponding slices of meat, and the flavor is extremely rich. Pumpkin soup is added with ginger, cinnamon and unknown spices, which is very different from what I have tasted in the past. Pineapple is added to the carrot cake, which slightly reduces the taste of carrot and adds the aroma of tropical fruits. The food is delicious and the prices are very affordable. Unfortunately, Chilliwacks Yellow Deli is the closest branch to Vancouver. If you want to have a meal, you have to drive for more than an hour.

By far, the most fresh sandwich I ve ever had. They obviously use quality ingredients and the freshest vegetables. I just moved here and the staff were extremely kind and happy and had the most beautiful mannerism. And the chai latte my new go-to the environment was so positive and happy and the decor feels like it s made with love, thought, and feels very cozy. Can t wait to tell people about the food!

Wish I could rate 100 for service and atmosphere. We all know the food is amazing and fresh and made with care yet also the community that runs the space is EXTREMELY thoughtful and cares about everyone one of the people they come into contact with. They could easily write a book on calm, cool and collected in the service industry. Look forward to going there every time.

The food was good, I truely enjoyed. But service was not at there best. As my friend and I arrived at the place, there was a wait. A few tables cleared up, and I requested a table on the upper level, and we were told to wait and see if a bigger group of 4 to walk in. However, there was a couple at that table moment earlier. So, we respectfully waited for the table. No other group showed up at that time. We were seated at the requested table after a 15 minutes of waiting. We ordered our food and drinks, and that too, took longer time then usual. With poor service, my friend and I were not happy. We did pay our bill, and left without tip. Since it was my first time there, I thought it would be a good place. And heard many good things. So if you decide to go, better think twice about service. How would you like to be served?

Definitely not a normal experience at all But that s what makes it fun - you walk in and it feels like your entering a Hobbit house - the ppl working their do in fact seem different/which made me and my scallywag friends feel normal for once Perhaps the place is a cult ( I d love to find out ) but many popular businesses/food corporations aren t probably the shining examples of ethics/morals/values Besides I m there for a sandwich, some kettle chips, and a gosh darn shake - not to discuss the origin of human existence or the meaning of life ( btw the food taste damn good , yah gotta try the shakes as well - maybe this cult is onto something ) Long and short - the food is tasty, if you get creeped out easily by ppl that resemble a mix of hippy-Amish with the intense eye contact of the Manson family - then maybe you should put on a hockey helmet, another adult diaper and stay home But if you want some good food ( open almost 24/7) and to possibly consider meeting a nice life partner, settling down with a simple religious group/starting a family - and making bangin sandwich s for your local community , then this is the place to be

The good: Strange place, but thats kind of what I was hoping for. The atmosphere makes you feel like youve gone back in time, open wood fire going on in the back round made for an amazing atmosphere, would make for an awesome old tavern type bar. The food tasted good. The Bad: The main entrance was locked, you had to go in through an inconspicuous side door to get in....I thought that was odd. Portions are small, no sides and there are absolutely no pork options and apparently can only have your eggs poached (Um okay?) I believe this to be because of the places religious ties. Server seemed absolutely miserable, kinda gave that youre not one of us kind of vibe (whatever I dont care but my wife took offence) but the guy who took our payment at the front at least seemed much more friendly and willing to chat. After talking to many people in the Chilliwack community, specifically the christian community, the stories and accusations of this place promoting abuse and cult like beliefs seem to be common and a quick google research seem to further push that narrative I suspect all the raging positive reviews are from other christian fundamentalists or people simply oblivious to the core values of this place. All religious dogma and accusations aside, unless this place turns into a tavern I doubt Id bother going here again as theres nothing special about the place or the food.

This is a nice little village-feel restaurant in the middle of Chilliwack. The servers are great at paying attention to your needs and provide a great service. The food is always spot-on in flavor and freshness. Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options are present. As well as a regular and hardly changing menu. The organic teas and coffee are a great relaxing and mind-easing hydrating enjoyment. Parking: there is on-side parking even if the parking lot looks full there is a hidden extension behind the red building. Wheelchair accessibility: it is on a ground level and has leveled seating available. The bathroom is also spacious enough to maneuver a wheelchair.

This place is a fairy tale, I love this place so much and the food is out of this world. The only thing that bugs me and makes my review a 4 is the way the food is served on a tray and there are no good alternatives to the potato chips, so that sort of ruins the whole oldie vibe of the place, if you can put that behind you its a wonderful place to go for dinner and the staff are super friendly!

I ordered a custom sandwich on a kaiser bun. It came on a onion bun and it was hot. No where on the menu does it say hot and I definitely did not order it that way. It was awful! Im sure if it came the way I ordered it, it would have been good, but hot avacado is not appealing! Sending food back isnt something I like to do because while Im waiting g for a new dish, everyone is eating and by the time my meal comes, everyone has finished. I just wont return!

Walked in and immediately a child (maybe 10-11 years old) rushed past us out the door with a platter of drinks. We dined in, and sat outside as the energy inside the main dining area was not to our liking. The fella taking our order was nice, but noticeably antsy for lack of better wording. I got the chipotle chicken sandy and that was a hell of a sandwich. Very delicious. Upon leaving, I hit the bathroom, where I found a basket of brochures hanging next to the toilet. These brochures explain the origins, motives and history of the cult running the place. It doesn t take much reading around to figure out that this place is apart of the Twelve Tribes, a cult. Many people have a strong dislike for this place for this reason. Though the food was great, the interior s atmosphere was off-putting. If you re looking for a stop with good sandwiches, and don t care about the cultish nature of the place, knock yourself out. If the cultish aura is too much, there are plenty of restaurants around the area

One of my favourite restaurants. I go here every time I go through Chilliwack, and that s a lot. The restaurant is beautifully hand crafted and pulls me back to my childhood in the 70s. It is perfect. The food is as close to homemade as you are going to get and it is simply delicious. They have options for all eaters. They are lovely people too, and always greet you warmly. They are always up for a chat if they have time, to share the history of the restaurant and the stories about their community. I cannot recommend this place enough, and feel bad it has taken me this many years to do a proper review. Vegetarian options: The burger Dietary restrictions: Options for almost everyone!

On a long road trip from Merritt to Vancouver we stopped by this little quaint restaurant. We did not expect much but the food did deliver! Unexpected and absolutely fantastic lunch! The waitress was courteous and the atmosphere was very relaxed. The only reason i cannot give five out of five stars is that I dont believe in perfection. If you want food that nourishes your soul, this is the place you want to eat.

We love yellow deli. The negative stigma it tends to have doesnt take away from the food and service they give. My 9-year-old feels like its a treat to come here.

The food was ok at best, but they got this low rating because the service is horrible. One of the servers is creepy and just stares when youre eating, not saying a word.

I swung by The Yellow Deli in Chilliwack and went for the Deli Rose sandwich with a side of Chili. The Chili was a standout, featuring hefty beef meatballs and a slice of what I can only describe as generously buttered sourdough, perfect for dipping. The Deli Rose sandwich, served on a fresh bun, was heated just right, showcasing their attention to detail. My wife built her own turkey sandwich, which was equally impressive. The service here was a pleasant surprise; the waitstaff were incredibly polite and attentive. All in all, it was a memorable dining experience with exceptional food and service. Oh, and definitely give their house-made Ice Tea a shot. The patios great too. Count me in for another visit!

Food is okay. Run by a cult, The 12 Tribes, that centres its beliefs around beating and abusing children. Also, it is unlikely that anyone working there is paid or if they follow any labour laws. If you eat here, you support that.

I thought the food was great, but my 7 year old who was experiencing a toothache that day was a little grumpy. The staff urged me to correct the problem by giving him blue marks, which I can only assume to be bruises. Very bad vibes, will not come back again. Kid-friendliness: Very hostile to children. I had to interject and leave without finishing my slightly above average meal because they were actively encouraging me to physically reprimand him. Call me a bleeding heart liberal, but I think kids deserve to pout and frown if they re not being a complete nuisance.

Edit: okay so I m reading now that they ARE owned by a cult. Search 12 Tribes communities. Their members abuse children. This place is bad vibes and their sandwiches are not good. I don t understand the hype. We took our take out to the car and it was disappointing. We got the Reuben and a deli rose. I opened the box and it was this small sandwich and tiny coleslaw rattling around in this huge box. My first bite was a soggy mess, which the untoasted bun absorbed. It felt like a sponge. The coleslaw was a wastery sample of a greater coleslaw. The taste was okay. Culty vibes inside aside, the interior is charming.

This was a WILD ride. My partner and I went in, after hearing good things about the food at the Yellow Deli. Upon arriving, you immediately get flower-child 1970s vibes, which is nostalgic, Ill give it that. At the front counter upon arriving, you immediately see a plethora of Christian literature, which should have been a dead giveaway. I thought that was strange, but paid it no mind and sat down at our table. The servers all look exactly the same, which I thought was... interesting. The food was slightly above average for price point, the taste was good. My partner and I have our meal and get up to pay, the server starts telling us about their 50th anniversary and said that the Yellow Deli is more than a restaurant... its a movement all over the world. This gave me super weird vibes, big time. He handed us a pamphlet about their restaurant and we left... Upon reading the pamphlet, I now realize we ate at a Christian cults restaurant. After reading other disturbing reviews about how servers have suggested to bruise misbehaving children and that their workers arent paid, that just doesnt sit right with me. Long story short: Good food, but dont drink the kool-aid. I wont be returning. Kid-friendliness: Servers suggest you beat misbehaving children

Crazy cool atmosphere, been coming here for years. Fantastic food & service, where else in Chilliwack can you dine in at 4:00am? Thats right, NONE. Definitely make sure your car is locked though, downtown Chilliwack has a pretty bad theft rate and cars that get broken into often, speaking from experience... If you havent been, you HAVE to check it out. 11/10

This place is run by a CULT! DO NOT GO! It was too late when we realized this and got sandwiches which were okay. But after more research we realized they don t pay their workers, advocate beating children and have highly racist beliefs. At first we thought okay they re hippies and religious whatever, but when we looked into it further I m really upset that we ate there because they prey on vulnerable people and isolate them from the real world and brainwash them. Look into how awful the 12 tribes are. The sandwiches weren t worth it and I would not recommend spending your money here. Now we know we will never eat here again.

Strange place. Fully packed on a Monday afternoon. Our orders unfortunately came out with the wrong sides. The chips I don t think they even make there, tastes like they came from a bag. They also never checked up on us on how we were doing throughout the meal. Not even once. Waited 20mins for seats. Lots of parking. And a lot of detail put into the restaurant itself. But the food was just alright. I enjoyed the hot apple cider. The waiters gave off a very weird vibe, ( all men and they all looked the same ,with the same hair cut too) hard to explain. A lot of staring going on.

The Yellow Deli certainly has an interesting background and I usually just grab a piece of their delicious cheese pie to go. The smoothies are great but the veggie burger had a weird taste and the waffle was overly sweet. Stick with the cheese pie!!

Great healthy food. Love the atmosphere. Nothing like the smell of wood smoke from a fireplace. Service is good IF youre not in a hurry and dont want to be bothered much. You will wait for your coffee awhile, wait for your food awhile ( its only a sandwich). But that can be a good thing if you want to relax so, you decide. I personally like a little more motivation from a server. When I over hear them answer the phone saying they are shortstaffed as 3 grown men stand there talking I had to laugh.But, I like the place and Ill be back...

One of the greeting ladies (older) was very short with us for mistakenly going in the exit door. (Not clearly marked) To prove a point, she made us follow her to the correct door where upon the host walked us right back to where we entered and offered us a table. Food was great, thanks to the kitchen staff.

After reading the reviews, and getting recommendations by others Im very confused about the hype that goes around this place. Alot are saying the atmosphere and service was great. Personally didnt think so. The food, after seeing photos of the sandwiches being stuffed, was disappointing as our sandwiches took 45 mins, and have 1 to 2 slices of meat. Thought it was an experience but personally wouldnt go back.
