My family wanted fried chicken for dinner to be delivered. We aren’t happy with the local chicken chains, so we decided to try this place.Boy, I’m so glad we did! Everything was delicious. We ordered chicken, mashed potatoes, coleslaw, and rolls. It was hot, fresh, and delicious! There was more than enough for my hungry family and we even had leftovers. Y’all just gained a new customer.

Usually eat here a few times a week for breakfast or lunch - the food is always very fresh, well put together and they are always very accommodating to special requests - so much to choose from

A cheesesteak 12.99+ with fries. Literally 6-7" long; all bread. I am done with this place. Last picture a competitor, maybe 5min down road. 12"+ with a loaded cheesesteak with fries. This place went way down hill. Don't waste your money or time

Food was overall pretty decent. For about 10 year I have always gotten a cowgirl chicken wrap from here and towards the end of the old owners, it just wasn’t good anymore and was always soggy. I decided to give the new owners a try and the cowgirl chicken wrap was a completely different recipe. It wasn’t bad just definitely wasn’t the same. I ordered online and did curbside pickup and it was super easy and quick!

Doing work at the 2 elementary schools in the area and stopped in because Bella Mia isn't open on Mondays. I now have a favorite place to get an awesome cheese steak! I wish I tried it a couple weeks ago when I first started the work here! I highly recommend it!I've been on a lifelong quest to find the best cheese steaks in NJ, since about 17 years ago when I ordered a cheese steak from some local pizza places in Roselle Park and Kenilworth, and what I got was the frozen, microwaveable "Steak-Umms" and not even melted cheese. Gross.

I loved the hot wings and the Louisiana chicken sandwich... Haven't been there in years so went to get some wings that I loved so long ago. NOPE! They were too salty for me. I felt like a had to drink a couple bottles of water because my blood pressure felt like it spiked. I do not have high blood pressure... So I can't say that I can recommend this place...

Eaaygoing deli experience, great snack, candy, and drink selection as well as awesome food.Kiosk ordering makes getting food very easy and good for introverts or if you're using a credit card.I got a buffalo chicken cheesesteak, consisting of well seasoned and hot sauced slices of chicken breast on some beautiful bread with american cheese. The fries were very crisp and nicely roughed up so they had great texture. For $13, that's pretty fantastic compared to the rest of what Columbus has to offer.Parking: Parking is along the street in front of the store; a connected side lot seems to be for flower shop customers only.

Well there goes another Columbus business. Not sure what's going on in town but a lot of businesses are changing hands and it's not for the better. Breakfast (3 eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and coffee) was almost $17.00 and the food was very bland. Cross another one off the list. I hope the new ice cream shop next door is good.

Love love love their food! Usually go out of my way to come here for their specials! The stared things on their menu are definitely worth trying if your looking for something out of your normal to eat. The staff is very nice and willing to help. Cow girl chicken wrap, cow boy sandwich, Buffalo chicken fingers are just some of my favorite entrées from here. And can't forget about their breakfast sandwiches, with plenty of meat and proportioned just right for a delicious option on your bussy mornings!

Like the staff, very friendly and kind people the last time I was in. I have been buying my lunch meats and deli things there for two years now. For the size of the shop, you can get a real nice platter of foods. You can get breakfast, lunch, or a nice dinner to go meal. The staff always keep the counter and prep area clean, I am a club sandwich eater! I really enjoy their product. It is a very inviting small town deli, they need more products in the cooler, and they have slowly increased since I started going there. You can go wrong if your looking g for a deli sandwich, fries, or a nice cheeseburger with onion or a nice chicken fingers and fries platter...GIVE IT A GO, IT IS A very convenient place for your lunch & lottery tickets as well all in one stop location.

Everytime time we order something it's wrong... You order extra cheese you get no cheese, you order no tomatoes you seem to get extra tomatoes, you order mayo you get mustard!Today we order dinner off of their app which, is pretty terrible itself (has multiple things they don't carry). So we order a 8 piece chicken combo, no auto response at all, 30 minutes later we get there to pick up our food and they are closed at 5:30 pm on a Wednesday, no signs, nothing.Sure every once in a while your order is correct and they have great rolls... Otherwise the shelves are a barren waste land and the rest of the food is okay at best.I will only go to this place if I absolutely have to from here on out!

It's a shame that this place has gone down hill. We haven't been happy that all of the sandwiches that used to include fries have now become platters- charging $3 for a handful of fries that were included just a year ago (and for a lower overall sandwhich/fries price) is just sad. We were in a pinch so ordered here one more time today. I arrive to find out that only one of the orders was made. No apologies, I was just told that I can wait while it's prepared. That's no way to keep customers. When I worked at delis and a butcher shop, if that happened we would call the customer- if we couldn't get them then their meal upon arrival would be comped. I would have been happy with an apology but nada.. so, in summary- $13 for a wrap with a dozen fries that I used to pay 10 bucks for (and would get both of my orders)? No longer for me. Best of luck to you.

Stopped in for a pork roll egg & cheese sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. Really hit the spot, perfect ratio of meat, egg, bread and melty cheese. It was ready fast and the service was friendly. It's CASH ONLY- and the ATM was out of order (naturally). My only complaint.

I went there every day for weeks last summer and started going again now. Still to this day have not had a better tasting burger. The staff is incredibly polite. Would love if the owner could update the interior of the dining area a bit. Fantastic food. Getting dinner now!

The Columbus General Store has the best tasting and freshest deli meat in the area. Their breakfasts, lunches, and dinners are awesome. My favorites are scrambled egg and cheese sandwiches, egg breakfast platters, roast beef hoagies, the Cobb salad with chicken, the chicken parm dinner, and the pasta and chicken sautes.

I grew up on Columbus General, and moved away for a little bit. I just came back today and ordered a Pork Roll Egg & Cheese and I have to say it was the poorest prepared sandwich I’ve had in a while. Barely any pork roll on it. And I asked for extra cheese and there was definitely not extra cheese. Ownership definitely isn’t the same. Kind of sad.

Great food!Update - got a burger from here and I could tell it was just one of the frozen ones that you would get from the grocery store I asked for medium well ( it was like a hockey puck when I got it ) I only took a few bites of it and I threw the rest away. Only thing I have to say that was good about that meal was the fries and the coleslaw. I will never get a burger from this place again but I will give them another chance on a different food item.

It ain’t the best place in the world, but it’s one of my favorite places back home to stop by for some lunch. Reminds me of when I was little, always coming here for a grilled cheese sandwich, and that’s always what I get when I come back. This time I got pork roll on it. Good food that I always love coming back for.

Wow. Amazing!!! First time we ordered from your store and we will be back. Generous portion sizes, breakfast was still hot when we received it. We work in a 24/7 chemical plant and this hit the spot. Loved that GrubHub delivered to us in Fieldsboro. Thank you.

Love the general Deli in Columbus. I am a big club sandwich person & they make a real good lunch platter with FF & a side of cold slaw...you will not find a quicker, friendly town deli, with friendly staff. (Est) is the manager, Rob knows who to hire and trust, he is a gem of a emoyee..you can not go wrong!!!! The chocolate milk is the best..don't forget to try a jug...perfect for your energy boost...and go well with your lunch or early morning or afternoon choices off the surprisingly delicious menu items..
