Huntington Deli Market - Columbia

I recently visited Huntington Deli Market and wanted to share my experience. Overall, I had a mixed opinion of the place, with some positive aspects and a few drawbacks.Let’s start with the positives. One thing that pleasantly surprised me was the food quality. The dishes I tried were surprisingly good, exceeding my expectations for a deli located within a gas station. Additionally, the speed of service was commendable. Even though they weren’t busy during my visit, the staff worked efficiently to ensure a fast and smooth experience.However, there were a few downsides that affected my overall impression. Although Huntington Deli Market is not located within a gas station, the ambiance and atmosphere inside gave off a similar vibe. It felt more like a casual eatery within a convenience store rather than a dedicated deli. This might not be a significant concern for some, but it did detract from the overall dining experience and the feeling of a traditional deli setting.Regarding the specific items I ordered, the cheesesteak was slightly pricey but not out of the ordinary for a deli. However, the real shock came when I ordered the fries. They were ridiculously expensive, and to make matters worse, I had to pay an additional $1 for Old Bay seasoning. This extra charge for something as basic as seasoning felt excessive and unreasonable. In the future, I plan to bring my own Old Bay seasoning to avoid paying for it again.In conclusion, despite the drawbacks and the feeling of it being more like a gas station than a traditional deli, I would still consider visiting Huntington Deli Market again. The food quality was surprisingly good, and the fast service was a definite plus. However, I would advise avoiding the fries unless the prices become more reasonable.

Great neighborhood deli/convenience store. Has a decent variety of menu options. The breakfast sandwiches are made fresh. The Krunchy chicken tenders are delicious.Food: 4/5

Sandwich was bomb!!!! I was so hungry and quickly popped into this deli, and it was the best choice I made. Service was great too! Found a new deli place to go to now.

A quick-stop type place with a really nice selection of soups, salads, sammies, fried chicken, stuff like that! I got the Cobb Salad with chicken and blue cheese dressing on the side. It was TASTY; full of good veggies, bacon, cheese crumbles and a hard-boiled egg. The grilled chicken was just so well done.. man that was a great salad!! And really big, too. My friend got the BLT and she said it was great--it looked solid. The man behind the counter was adorable and so nice. A great lunch!

Not an eat in place, but a pretty good deli. I had a sub and fries that were worth the detour. I'm not local to the place, but would definitely go back if in the area again.Food: 5/5
