The Old Deli in Fort William receives generally positive feedback for its food quality and central location. Many guests praise the fresh sandwiches, specifically mentioning the Croque Monsieur and various paninis as highlights. The Scottish breakfast and pancakes are also well-regarded by those looking for a morning meal. However, several reviewers noted that the interior can become very loud, making conversation difficult during busy periods. Service experiences vary, with some visitors finding the staff hard-working and prompt, while others reported a lack of engagement. There are also occasional reports of inconsistent food temperatures, particularly with baked potatoes. Despite these mixed experiences, it remains a popular, reasonably priced option for a quick bite in town.
