My husband and I were driving through the area and searched for a deli and this place came up. At first we didn’t think it was open till someone came out of the it, so when in doubt just check the doors first. We were welcomed with friendly smiles and greetings. You go to the counter and place your order. You have the option for carry out or dine in. It is not a big area so the seating place is probably about 4-5 tables. My husband got a chicken ranch wrap. Bu the way, they make their own ranch and it’s delicious. I suggest asking for a bit more on the side to use as a dipper. I got cheese steak with everything on it. They asked if I wanted raw onions or sautéed. Now that surprised me because I love raw onions and this was the first time to be given and option when getting cheesesteak. So we sat down, and just looked around the area. It’s a cute place, we later found out that owners are new, they just recently purchased the deli from another family. So they are still trying to get some exposure, so please spread the word. Now let’s get to tasting. The food was delicious!!! I will say this is the best cheese steak I have ever had! My husband loved his wrap! P.S they are big portions of flavor and meat! I was not able to finish mine but my husband didn’t complain because he happily ate it. The drinks are bottled, and they have Hershey ice cream if you still have space for dessert. If we ever chance by this place again, we are definitely stopping by! P.S. on their menu they have crab soup, we saw online that it was the best soup. We went there around 130, they opened at 11, and it was sold out by then. l. But we did get their chicken gnocchi and it was amazing! so I can only imagine their crab soup. So if you go there on a Sunday, go in early for the soup :)

We happen to be passing through Hancock and decided to stop at this little country Cafe. What a wonderful surprise!! I got a big bowl of cream of crab soup and it was full of crab meat, hot and spiced perfectly. Someone else in the group got burgers ($7- served with chips ) and said they were delicious. My husband got the pulled pork special $15- it came with baked beans, homemade coleslaw and french fries. We got there close to closing time and the owners were happy to serve us. Would definitely eat here again! Delicious food at a at a fair price! 10/10

The absolute BEST Cheesesteak I have ever had! My friend and I randomly decided to come here on a side quest and now I must come back again at all cost. Upon walking through the oversized door you get over whelmed by the delicious smells of food and a friendly welcome from the kind staff. The food was absolutely phenomenal! I got the Mushroom and Swiss Cheesesteak (that was a delicious punch to the taste buds with every bite!), my friend got the SmokeHouse Cheesesteak and loved it, and my son got the Kids Personal Pan Pizza (Which I stole a bite of and it was some of the best pizza I’ve ever had. The sauce was so flavorful. I had to hold myself back from stealing his pizza). Also, I was accidentally over charged and the man working there that rung me up refunded me without hesitation and came to me and let me know. It’s so hard to find people this honest and kind anymore. I was really surprised. 10/10 would recommend! Stop by here if possible, you wont regret it.

Great food and fantastic people! Lots of tasty options available at this rural deli. Try the pulled pork if you’re there the first weekend of the month.

We stopped in after a day of hunting and were glad we did ! We ended up going back the next day. The food was fantastic, the staff was great and very welcoming. Our group loved their food. We got Krissy's Famous Cream of Crab to go and WOW. It was the best we've had ! You will not be disappointed if you go there. We will be back each time we are in the area. Update: we have been back 3 more times and have tried different foods each time and everything was delicious! We are looking forward to trying more of their food items.

Stopped in for lunch. I got the La Diabla cheese steak and a bowl of the famous cream of crab soup. It was delicious. The owner was warm and welcoming. This will be a regular stop for me from now on.

BEST BURGERS AROUND!! I've been to Sandy JAKS a few times but had not tried their burgers until my most recent visit this past weekend. I knew it was going to be good, because -lets be honest- everything on the menu is good. ...but WOW! To say it exceeded my expectations is an understatement. I don't eat burgers very often, but trying that one has made me crave another. I might just go back for lunch today, lol! Great job all! Keep it up!
