"The overall food quality was outstanding, earning a perfect score of 5. The service was equally impressive, also rated 5 out of 5. The atmosphere was delightful, creating a lovely environment to enjoy the meal, so I would rate it a 5 as well. I highly recommend trying the Ravioli Di Ricotta, Fresh Baked Bread, Lobster Ravioli, Eggplant Parmigiana, and the Small Caesar Salad with Anchovies. Don't forget to save room for dessert — the pastries are a must-try!"

"I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve been living in Haverhill since 2018 and have always driven past this place without ever stepping inside. At first, it seemed a bit intimidating—definitely a local favorite. However, the staff made me feel completely welcome. The deli has a charming old-school vibe, with trays and a wide variety of food options. I ordered an Italian sub, and it was fantastic. I noticed the guy behind me ordered the lamb dinner, and it looked delicious too. That’s definitely on my list for my next visit. Overall, I had a great experience, and I’m proud to be a Hillie enjoying a meal at A1 Deli. Cheers!"

"After reading a ton of great reviews, my brother Anthony and I took a cab to the game pad on 2/8/2020 1030 pm and were told we couldn 't go in. The bouncers exact words were don 't even bother. I thought he was joking so I proceeded to help Anthony get his ID out. My brother is 23 with cerebral palsy and I 'm a 27 year old dialysis patient. I do not drink because of my health problems. Because of his cerebral palsy Anthony, has a 1 drink limit. Neither of us had any drinks this night, but the bouncer said he heard my brother say he was drunk which is absolute bs. Anthony can not speak clearly so I would like to know where he got that. Anthony said Me, Fun, as in I want to have fun. I can understand the confusion, what I can 't understand is the bouncers dismissive and rude attitude. I tried to explain to him we 're both handicap and just wanted to get out of the house for once. He just kept rolling his eyes and avoiding eye contact. He kept saying I 'm going by what I heard. Again, understandable. If you think someone is drunk, you have every right to tell them they can 't come in. What got me, is after getting rejected Anthony started crying and this heartless bouncer just didn 't care. If you meet Anthony, he is the sweetest happiest person ever!! I was appalled at the discrimination and ignorance this man possesses. I wrote to the company 's fb page and I can see that they saw my message, yet no reply. I will never again waste my time on a place that employs ignorant staff. Educate your staff and work on your customer service. At least have the decency to apologize for what you 'll call a misunderstanding."

"This restaurant has great potential. The decor is rustic and patriotic, which I really liked. The coffee was very good, but the baristas didn't seem to know much about the beans or their backstory. It seemed like a group of college kids were in charge and things were a bit chaotic. The bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich I ordered was just okay. The bacon was not very good, but the cheese and bread were decent. Overall, I think this place still needs some improvement. I was hesitant to visit due to the negative reviews, but it wasn't as bad as I expected. The coffee was great, but the staff and food options need work. It was strange that they didn't have condiments available like salt, pepper, ketchup, or mustard. On the positive side, they are dog-friendly, which is a big plus."

"We used to love this place, but that changed on the night of Friday, December 10. My friend, who is a regular, called in to place an order for two Italian subs—one without roasting, with pickles and hot peppers, and the other also without roasting, without any extras. He also requested mayo on one and light oil on the other, since I have an allergy to mayo. When I called to address a mistake with our order, the owner was incredibly rude to me. I know Tom, I know what he ordered, and I clearly heard what he asked for. I couldn't believe how he treated me, especially on a Friday night after we’ve always been loyal customers. Instead of making things right, he became extremely defensive and told me that if we wanted a proper meal, we would have to pay for a whole new order. Our experience went from five stars to one, and honestly, it deserves less than that. It was a nasty call from the owner to regular customers, which sealed the fate of this terrible review. It’s such a shame. My friend would never order pickles because he dislikes them, and I was with him when he ordered."
