Book NowAbout Sloppy Joe's Deli
Sloppy Joe’s Deli stacks hefty, cheese-dripping toasties on Queen Street, dishing out serious crunch from breakfast through dusk. Daytime regulars head here for loaded sourdough sangas—the Truffle Mushie Melt delivers a deep portobello earthiness against molten brie and provolone, while the Texan Pork packs succulent braised pork into golden, toasted bread. Floor staff actually run orders to the tables with water jugs in tow, lending a relaxed sit-down touch rare for a fast-paced CBD sandwich counter. By nightfall, the operation switches gears to Floppy Joe’s, where matrix order sheets fuel a $30 bottomless fried chicken feast with hot honey tenders and house sides. Pair lunch with a tangy Citrus Brew, or finish the evening over Dubai chocolate soft serve.
- Table-Delivered Deli Service: Dine-in guests get their orders brought straight to the table alongside fresh water jugs.
- All-You-Can-Eat Chicken Nights: An evening matrix-sheet program with unlimited hot honey tenders, drumsticks, and sides for $30.
- Truffle Mushie Melt: Thick sourdough toasties packed with roasted portobello, truffle salsa, and rich cheese pulls.

Before you head over
Practical advice for booking, ordering, and timing your visit to Sloppy Joe's Deli
Book AYCE Chicken in Advance
Evening all-you-can-eat fried chicken nights sell out quickly, so reserve your spot in advance via Instagram instead of relying on walk-in seating.
Prioritize Chicken Over Side Dishes
The all-you-can-eat chicken pieces are exceptionally large, so pace your ordering sheets and finish your chicken before loading up on sides.
Plan for Smaller Groups Off-Peak
Seating is cozy and best suited for groups of 3 to 4 patrons, with off-peak hours offering the easiest table availability.
