We were traveling through the area so it was our 1st time here today. So much to choose from and wonderful older gentlemen running it. Very nice to talk to. Food was delicious. We had subs and onion rings. U grab a tray, silverware, and order like cafeteria style. Definitely come here and see what I mean. Nice comfy booths to sit in.

This is not the place to go if you’re looking for fancy or table service it’s more like a cafeteria. But if you want well-prepared hearty food at a reasonable price you will not go wrong here. While I don’t go here often I have been going here for 40 years and never been disappointed.

My mother’s family was from Haverhill. We paid a visit to the children of Israel cemetery on a typically cold and dank New England January day. Afterwards, we needed lunch and decided to go to the A1 deli for the first time. We felt that we have been teleported back many decades. Not a hipster in sight. Only regular local customers. The owners were gruffly friendly and warm in the classic Massachusetts milltown manner. I ordered a bowl of hot, buttery, thick, homemade seafood chowder with clams and haddock. My wife ordered chicken rice soup. The lunch was wonderful. The next time I’m in the Merrimack Valley, I will drive out of my way to eat here.
