⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Ben M
I ate here passing through. The place inside is decorated cool. The inside does smell musty. The menu is taped to the front counter. I would recommend that they have it bigger and better displayed. I got the turkey club. The sandwich was very good. The meat was stacked high in the middle so I had to rearrange it evenly, no problem. The sandwich came with chips. Overall, it was $14 for the sandwich and chips. I think that plain lays chips as the side doesn’t have much value. Maybe French fries would be a more appealing side. I think the sandwich was very good, but not quite worth $14 since chips are a dime a dozen.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jim Metzger
Our first visit but definitely not our last. My wife and I got a couple of sandwiches to go and they were excellent! The bread was fresh, the meats were tasty, condiments super and the added chips and dill spear was a surprise. We will be back to try the other delights very soon. It's refreshing to get great service, excellent food and a hometown feeling of what the Rupert Square is all about. The inside of the E Street Deli was spotless from the tables out front to the restrooms in back.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Christine Wentworth
Fantastic, fresh salads; I love them all! Daily specials are delicious and coffee offerings. Don’t come if you’re in a rush, but if you have a little time, stop and smell the candles, look at the local art for sale and read the chalkboard menu of the many unique flavors of coffee & Icecream.

You will be hard-pressed to find a better all-around establishment than this place in Rupert, ID. If you are within reach of this review GO THERE! Not only is the staff super friendly and hospitable, the food, drink, and atmosphere is everything and more. The brisket is pretty damn stellar. The menu has 50+ items on the regular! Full bar, an assortment of many beers, seltzers, and liquors...THE ART! Not only is the ambiance chill....there is artwork!!! Ryan's wife paints like a mad woman! Check out my pics. Don't be fooled, not only is Ryan a badass chef and restaurant owner, he's the glue of the concert scene here. He graciously booked us for the 2022/23 New Year's Eve Beet Drop in the town square. That's right he put the whole thing on! Pro level from load in to out. Do yourself a favor and stop by and see this place! NOW!!!! MESSER APPROVED!!!! Shame I can only post 50 pics.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jeff Meyers
Great sandwich. Fantastic atmosphere. Mostly meat menu items. One veggie sandwich which I had. About $22 for my brother and myself. Good vehicle parking. Dont know about trailer parking. Its part of the town square. You can eat inside, outside, or in the park.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Carden Reynolds
This is my new go-to restaurant. Great atmosphere, great service, incredible food. Not to mention the owner/chef is a real stand-up guy, really nice. I get the B.L.A.T.O - no tomato, no mustard, add turkey and vinaigrette and it’s awesome. But I’ve got a feeling that everything would be good here. Go grab some food from E-Street Deli, you deserve something good today.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Char Herd-Shallenberger
Worth the time it takes to venture off of the interstate to get to this unique deli on the historic Rupert Square! Delicious, unique espresso drinks! Love the option for oat milk in the drink! They offer a wide variety of milk and non-dairy options. Ordered the awesome spinach salad, and my husband had the cheddar brisket sandwich on pretzel bread. Both meals were delicious! It was a little on the spendy side, but the portions were generous, and the ingredients were fresh and high quality. The amaretto mini-cheesecake was so yummy! Fun variety of pastries, chocolate, and gifts. Clean dining area, and clean bathroom. Super friendly and informative staff.
