About us
A neighborhood deli on 3rd Street North.
Son's Deli sits in a brick building a short walk up from the St. Croix, between the liquor store and the gas station. Locally owned, made in house, and open to anyone who walks through the door hungry.

Meet the owner
“Our goal is simple — serve the kind of food we crave after a day on the river: fresh, filling, and easy to enjoy anywhere.”
That line does most of the work. Everything on the menu is built to be eaten somewhere other than a dining room — on a boat, at a job site, in the front seat on a lunch break, or standing in a driveway on a Saturday.
It's why the Port Boys come on a ciabatta roll that holds up, why the cooler is stocked before the doors open, and why so much of what we sell is already wrapped and ready when you walk in.
How we make it
The work happens before you order.
A Port Boy takes about five minutes to hand over and considerably longer to get ready. Meats are sliced or braised in house, sauces are made here, and the cooler is filled every morning before the first customer arrives.
- House-sliced and braised meats, grilled hot to order on artisan ciabatta.
- House-made sauces and deli salads, prepped fresh rather than bought in.
- Locally baked breads and sweet treats on the shelves alongside our own.
- Packed for grab and go, so the cooler items need no counter wait at all.
Quality made convenient
What we're trying to get right
Four things we keep coming back to. They're also, more or less, what people write about us when they leave a review.
Priced like a deli
Cooler hoagies, salads and sides are meant to be an everyday option, not a treat you budget for.
Fast when you're in a hurry
Order ahead and it's bagged when you arrive. Or grab something already wrapped and skip the counter entirely.
Easy to talk to
Small shop, same faces. Ask what's good, tell us what you didn't like, get a straight answer either way.
Fifty-seven reviews, all five stars
In other people's words
We'd rather you heard it from the regulars.
Made my way through about half the menu now and every sandwich has been excellent quality and much more unique than the average sandwich shop. Prices are great especially for the quality. Keep it up!

What a gem! From the sandwiches, to the soups, to the grab n go salads…this place is great! I would recommend any of the hot sandwiches! The breakfast sandwiches are great and at an affordable price!

Awesome addition to Bayport in a great location. I stop here at least once a week for a quick hot deli sandwich and it never disappoints. Tots are hot and crispy, sandwiches are delicious.

Beyond the counter
We travel, too.
The shop is the home base, but a fair bit of what we do happens somewhere else entirely.

Come say hi
Best way to get to know us is lunch.
Walk in and ask what's good. Somebody behind the counter will have an opinion.
