Ugh. Torn. On one hand, I want to give this place five stars... but that'd be based on the far past, and not on what I actually experienced today. Back when I lived in Glouco, TWP Deli was my favorite delicatessen. I'm mostly speaking in terms of about 5+ years ago and before. I'm not sure what has happened to them since, but the product I had today tasted nothing like what I remembered from back then. Which is a shame, because one mark of a good business is consistency. Take Sal's down the road. I've always trusted that their pizza will taste exactly the same. And it does, year after year. So it started out with me ordering my usual: chicken salad hoagie, with only lettuce and bacon. I was so excited to re-taste this chicken salad hoagie. I know this sounds absurd, but I've had my share of chicken salads in my lifetime, and I can differentiate the slightest of tastes between them at this point. This chicken salad was not the same chicken salad. Making matters worse: They didn't listen to my "only lettuce and bacon" request. They dumped a crapton of oregano on it (WHY???), plus onions and tomatoes. I instantly took the onions and tomatoes off, but you can't get that oregano taste out of a hoagie once it's in it. And considering that the person working wasn't all too nice even after I tried to make friendly banter about the fact that the size of the hoagie roll definitely grew, I didn't feel like going back in to let them know that they made the hoagie wrong. Anyway... moving past chicken salad fiasco that was a bummer: This is a very tiny deli. It's in a shady-looking strip mall with a smoke shop, empty storefront, and a couple other places. They really need to re-do the asphalt in the parking lot. The store's sign hasn't been updated in eons. It often looks like the deli is closed when it is not. Their prices are pretty good. They pride themselves on selling Dietz & Watson. Take that as you may. It's a decent option, I guess. It just used to be better.
