Garden Deli Restaurant

The Garden Deli is just.so.charming. The food is fine - not amazing, but not bad at all. But its the outdoor seating under trees that gets me to return to this little place summer after summer. The wait staff is friendly and the prices are low. Garden Deli always brings a smile to my face.

I will settle the dispute being an objective Yankee visitor ;).  Atmosphere is super friendly and laid back.  The patio is a porch and patio with trellis and arbors. Climbing vines are climbing the posts and all is built around a willow tree and mostly cool, comfortable and shady.  If you don't like that you probably are a cement contractor.  Quickly ordered a tasty sweet tea and there is plenty of helpful and friendly waitresses and even busboys.  Seating is a combo of vinyl patio furniture, wooden picnic tables and even a bar top section to accommodate large and small families, couples and solo clients.  Seeing the 1 $ sign on the Yelp description, I have expectations set as I order a Cordon Bleu Sandwich with a MAC salad side.  Here's a first, a busboy helped me with decision.  That's a happy employee which says a lot about his employer.  Hours of op are somewhat strange but I'm sure it works as the place is packed. I just found this place at 1:30 just in time.  So, my food is good, fits the price range, fresh and appropriate portions.  Oh, and a waitress walking around topping off people's tea is great.
Quite frankly, Lydia, I don't give a damn....you must have had a bad day, or week, or month...

Great atmosphere as much of the restaurant seating is among a beautiful setting on the outside porch.  The entire porch is surrounded by significant trees giving a great environmental experience while enjoying your lunch.  It is located in the cool shade underneath a remarkable willow tree.  The seating is surrounded by lush plants and views of the Burnsville Town Square.  Also would like to add the menu provides a wide variety of soups, salads, and sandwiches.
