Hello all! It's been a while. 👋

Phil and Amanda are delighted to announce a new food venture coming to Decorah soon. Allow us to introduce our new food truck: Lillördag.

Lillördag = the Nordic tradition of “Little Saturday,” infusing a little bit of celebration into the mundanity of yet another day. So that's what we hope to do for y'all! Our trailer (Lil) will be hitting the mean streets of Decorah this summer, serving up smørrebrød (open-faced sandwiches) and køldtbørds (meats, cheeses & salads) at local hangs. June schedule now posted online at lillordagiowa.com! Follow along at Lillördag | for more pics, info and updates.

We’ll also be booking for private events, with a focus on “cocktail hour” catering and bar service off our nifty porch bar (pics coming soon!). Contact us at [email protected] with any questions or to book us for your next event!

Phew, I think that’s it for now! Thank you for the love and support you've shown to the deli. We hope Lillördag helps bring some joy, fill your bellies and make you proud. ❤️

Time to celebrate! 🎉

Same, same y’all! At least for now. Looking forward to more staffing and later hours come June. 😘

Ring, ring. Who’s there? The deli! We now have our very own phone number. Call us directly at 563-380-5947 with all your deli questions. ☎️

Daily breads are going on a bit of a snooze. But have no fear, we’ll still have tasty sandwich rolls and bagels (phew!). Just no extras for a spell. #littleoven #workinprogress

Easter is just around the corner! 🐰 Spring themed charcuterie platters and specialty baked goods are now online to special order. Choose from hot cross buns, soft dinner rolls and challah. Yum! 🌸 https://deli-arts-letters.square.site 🌸

SAVE THE DATE: Corned Beef Sandwiches on a first come, first served basis this St. Patty’s Day! 🥩 @prairiesedgeiowa ☘️

Want to work in the deli?! Perks include: hanging with Phil, free lunch and $12/hr starting wages. Things you’ll do: man the register, help make sandwiches, clean sanitize repeat and other fun deli things. Interested? Email: [email protected].

Classic Egg Salad. So simple, so good. Fun fact: this one’s a deli man Phil fav. In fact, I’d reckon he eats egg salad AT LEAST once a day. Try it plain or jazz it up with bacon and pickled onions. You won’t be sorry! 🥚

NEW SANDWICH! ‘Holy cow’ beef dry salami, young gouda, horseradish mayo, yellow mustard, lettuce and tomato. Red Bear Provisions Marieke Gouda #womenowned

What’s exciting at the deli today?! “Potato Salad is back.” —Phil You’ve heard it here first folks. Potato Salad is back on the menu!

NEW! Tuna Salad on the menu this week. MSC certified, pole line caught off the Oregon coast, this sandwich will help transport you from our current arctic reality. 🐟

Happy football day! The deli is OPEN for sandwiches and catering pickups until 2 p.m. Side note: Did you know we offer party subs?! Me neither. Something super special for someone’s super bowl. 🏈

New chip flavors?! We fancy. Choose from Sea Salt, Salt & Vinegar, Mesquite BBQ or Zesty Jalapeño.
