This unsuspecting little place is fabulous! The sandwiches are delicious. I love how they offer both hot and cold options and they can customize sandwiches too which is a big bonus. The service was 10/10 and the aesthetic of this place is also super cool. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

Stopped by Backroads Deli in Fish Creek and it was a great find! I had the Turkey Bacon Sub and it was absolutely delicious — fresh bread, plenty of turkey, crispy bacon, and all the toppings were super fresh and flavorful. You can tell they care about quality here. The staff was friendly and the service was quick, even though it was busy. It’s the perfect spot to grab a great sandwich before exploring Door County. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town!

We had the 2 panini sandwich specials, one was roast beef and the other turkey, with a pasta salad side and fruit cup. Everything was fabulous right down to the pickle!

I can’t say enough good things about Backroads Deli! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, friendly, and attentive without being overbearing. You can tell the staff genuinely cares about making sure every guest has a great experience.

The food was absolutely amazing, but what really stood out was the Italian Beef sandwich! I can honestly say this one is right up there with the best of them. Perfectly seasoned, tender, and loaded with flavor—it felt like a little slice of Chicago right here.

Everything we tried was spot-on!

Highly recommend!

The best delivery outside of Midtown Manhattan!! There is love and goodness in the menu and the chef is a true artisan. If one is having a rough day, stop in for a bada bing! Guaranteed to change your life!! Thank you for the best sandwich outside of Midtown!

First time ever trying this place and we will 100% be back! Amazing and super friendly service. The sandwiches were absolutely phenomenal and fresh! Hands down, one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Pictured is the Bad Da Bing, 6" sub. We were helped immediately and only a small wait while they prepared our fresh sandwiches. Absolutely amazing experience!

What a great spot. Colorful place right on Hwy 42. We were attended to someone who I think is the owner and was also making the food. She was so nice and accommodating with our dietary requests, basically adapting one of their sandwiches on the fly into a low carb meal which is so difficult to find in Door County. Food came out fast. They have a pretty big menu of cold, hot, and panini style sandwiches and salads and a soup of the day and it all looks good. We liked our turkey bacon club and Chicago dog. We will be back, thanks!

Such a great stop!!

We were on the way to our segway tour which ended up being in the same parking lot!

Every part of our meal was wonderful! The wraps and sandwiches were fresh and tasted incredible! The noodle salad and potato salad were just as good!

Service was great! The two workers were helpful and so nice!

Neat and clean eating space with cute decor!

Brought my kids here after a morning of mountain biking. They had the Jimbo, and I had the Bada Bing. Bada Bing was great, but the Jimbo is off the charts good. So much so, in fact, we had to stop back in once more before our vacation ended. Highly recommend stopping in to try this unique sandwich.

Hidden gem! Located right next to the Segway Tours, near the high school. Delicious food (pictured is a tuna salad sub & chef's salad), kind & competent service, and a touch of home. The day we came, there was only one person taking orders and making the meals, so be prepared to be patient. It's worth the wait, I promise!

What an excellent sandwich we had from here!! Nice friendly staff!! Couple raising a toddler while trying to run a business at the same time!! The sandwich was huge,fresh,tasty and would give any chain sub shop a run for their money!! I cannot brag enough how tasty and fresh this sandwich was!! They put on giardiniera from Tenuta's in Kenosha,Wisconsin which is family owned and know anything about Tenuta's it is high quality!! Give there products a try as well that they sell there!! Folks, all kidding aside,YOU NEED TO GIVE THIS PLACE A TRY!!!You can't go wrong!!! Absolutely LOVED it!!!!!!!

We heard great things about this place, so when my friends and I planned a girls day in Door County, we decided to stop here for lunch around noon. There were only about 5 or 6 people in line, and there were 2 employees working, so didn’t seem like it should take that long.
It was over half an hour before the first person in our group was able to order, and at least half an hour more before the sandwich was ready. Everything was delicious, but we chose a deli because we figured it would be quick and we wouldn’t have to spend the whole middle of the day at a sit down restaurant, but I think this actually took longer.
I enjoyed my DC Club on gluten free bread, my sister in law liked her What a Chick sandwich, a great vegan option, and our friend’s Antipasto salad looked amazing. Great food, if you have the time to kill. Sitting in the garden was a lovely place to wait at least

This place was a great find coming off the bike trail we were hungry. Service was lovely! No skimping on the ingredients sandwiches were amazing. My husband built his own and I had the federal agent which is tuna and it’s the best I have ever had. Cute little place. Will be back next time around.

Just needed a quick sandwich for an easy dinner. Found this place open and gave it a try. We were the only customers there and got to talk with the owner. Found out she was from the same area where we grew up and her sandwiches were based on a favorite local sub shop. They were delicious and exactly like our favorite subs! So glad we found Backroads Deli!

I had an amazing experience at Backroads Deli in Fish Creek, Wisconsin! The Sagan Sicilian sandwich was absolutely delicious, bursting with fresh flavors. The deli also has a charming area with local goods, adding a unique touch to the visit. The staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel right at home. Highly recommend stopping by for a bite and a browse!

Coming from Sol Grass on Washington Island. This Deli is worth the stop if you are in Door County and had the Anna Pat sandwich. It was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! The ingredients were fresh, and the combination of flavors was perfect. The pesto was perfect, and the portion size was generous. The staff were friendly and provided excellent service. I highly recommend stopping by and trying all the sandwiches.

Had a Bacon Cuban today from Pat. The sandwich was delicious and the potato salad for the side was pretty solid. Pat’s got a fun sense of humor, she does a great job. It is a smaller place, so if you stop in at peak lunch time, be patient or enjoy the surrounding shops until it dies down a little. Highly recommend Backroads.

I loved it! There was only one person working when my family and I brought a group of about 18, and the woman who took our order and made our food was very sweet. Delicious sandwiches and the kids loved their fun buckets.
Highly recommend, but make sure to cut her some slack as she's the only one managing the place on the weekdays!

Best sandwich shop period. Stopped in with my kids at 5:40pm on Friday desperate for food in Door County that wasn’t overpriced and fried. Ordered the tuna, cheese head, turkey and cheese, and grilled cheese. Sandwiches were so good and healthy and reasonably priced. The owner was super friendly and accommodating to my kids and their indecisiveness. Highly recommend and I will for sure go back.

Stopped in for a quick bite with my 6mo son. The owners were very friendly and even offered to hold my boy so I could finish eating my delicious sandwich. I had ordered the Sagan Sicilian which has pepperoni, salami, lemon basil ricotta, roasted red peppers, giardiniara, and balsamic glaze (then pressed). I did not realize it was missing the giardiniara until one of the owners told me it was missing but it was delicious nonetheless. Fact of the matter is, this a great family owned/operated business that serves very tasty sandwiches.
