Hugo's Deli

Got our lunch to take home today and we were EXTREMELY disappointed with the quality! ALL our sandwiches were light on meat and barely any fixings at all! For the price you pay, I advise you eat there or double check your order before you leave! We like to support local but I believe in this instance, we would have been better off going to Subway!

We ordered our food ahead of time, called it in an hour before our scheduled pick up - they said it would be ready. I let her know we did not have time to wait. They did not have it ready but wanted us to wait in line while they made it. We couldn't wait and therefore we went without lunch. If you have time to wait for them to do as they wish - the sandwiches are good. But if you count on them to have it ready - plan on not eating like we are today.

Dayyyyyum! This place freaking rocks! It's kind of hard to find a good deli still in operation these days. I remember scouting downtown Boise for a good one, and while Main Street and Deli George were good, they don't match up to Hugo's one bit. My wonderful husband and I shared a turkey bacon avocado on sourdough bread ($7.99). I'm super glad we decided to split because it was huge! There was a good amount of turkey and bacon stuffed into the sandwich. And holy cow was it FRESH! In my opinion, quality trumps over quantity, meaning I'm more than happy to give up an overstuffed meat sandwich for one that's not so overflowing but made with fresh ingredients. The bread was also excellent! They use locally sourced ingredients, and for that I applaud them. You can buy full loaves of Zeppole bread from them. We took home a ginormous loaf of sourdough ($5.99) and have been happily devouring it every chance we get. The location is a little out of the way if you live anywhere beyond southwest BOI. It's located in an older strip mall right off he corner of Five Mike & Overland. But worth the trek, I guarantee! I'll be looking forward to my next visit here! Not sure if I wanna branch out because the turkey bacon avo was soooo good! I'd recommend this to everyone in search of a great sandwich shop!

Hugo’s Deli ⭐️⭐️ On 2/11/21, I bought $32+ of food at Hugo’s Deli in Boise, which included pretty much everything except a sandwich. Overall, I was disappointed. The two items I did like were the fried chicken breast ($3.59) and the fries ($1.82). The fries come with the option of their homemade fry sauce and “spicy ketchup.” I tried both. I like the fry sauce, which has barbecue sauce added to it. I was surprised to find that the “spicy ketchup” is nothing more than cocktail sauce. I was not so impressed with either item that I see myself returning for them. The kielbasa sausage ($1.44) looked good but had little flavor and was overwhelmingly “fatty.” I took one bite and was done with it. I was told none of the sides/salads, with the exception of the coleslaw ($1.93) are made there. They are from Sysco I’m pretty sure the slaw dressing isn’t made there either. Although the cabbage in the coleslaw seemed relatively fresh, it was overly dressed. The potato salad ($2.30) was okay. I didn’t like the macaroni salad ($2.07) at all. The only item I cared for was the baked beans ($3.71). I was told they make their macaroni and cheese ($2.64) in the house. It was not exceptional in anyway. It tasted better than next day after I added salt to it. I had assumed the soups were made in house. I wish I would’ve asked before ordering them because I could tell simply from looking at them that they were not. I got a small Split Pea and Tomato Basil with Pasta ($2.95 each). Neither one was good. The desserts are made by a former employee. I bought the Carrot Cake ($3.39) and an Eclair ($1.99). I didn’t like either one. The carrot cake was overly sweet. The eclair looks good, but the puff pastry seems stale and the filling was “meh.” Hugo’s Deli is a business I wanted to try for years. Although I did not order a sandwich, based on the large variety of food that I did try, as well as the quality of their deli meat, and how overpriced the food is, the majority of which is not even made in-house, I’m not inclined to give it a second chance.
