Most Disliked
Some patrons express a desire for additional bathroom facilities, as currently only one restroom exists, and it can be a challenge during peak hours. A few reviews mention the lack of gourmet salad or healthy options, considering some prefer lighter fare in a lunch setting. Additionally, there are occasional remarks on limited seat availability, especially during busy brunch times which may cause delays. Though many enjoy the quickness of the service, a handful of diners feel rushed, wishing for a more leisurely pace. Despite these minor criticisms, most visits result in repeat business, indicating it is a small price to pay for the overall experience Tiger’s Deli provides.

I'm always happy to pop into a local family run business when I'm visiting a new town. This place did not disappoint! Great menu of breakfast and lunch sandwiches. The coffee was hot and stong, really good. I grabbed a Prok Roll, Egg & cheese, they suggested adding my hash brown onto my sandwich - Delicious! Prices were on point for the quality. I will be definitely returning the next time I am in town to try lunch!

Food was very good, quick, and add a very fair price… I had a tasty cheesesteak wrap… My only wish was that there was a bathroom to wash your hands

Unlikely you'll find a better cheeseburger in Princeton for $5.50. Or two delicious pieces of fried chicken for about the same price. I will be trying more things from their menu and I expect continued satisfaction.

I left a review for Molisana Deli 5 years ago. I used to live right next to this place and would always stop in for a coffee before work, and sometimes a cheeseburger after work. Now, 5 years later after having left the area I came back and it still has best food and best prices for the area. Great spot Mr. and Mrs. Kim!

Amazing fried chicken. Formerly called Molisana, across from the former hospital site. Closes at 4. If you call in advance, they’ll fry up more chicken for you. We’ve had them make chicken for parties. So very good—crunchy outside, moist and tasty inside. Love this place—nice family, fantastic fried chicken.

This place has such a great local neighborhood vibe! I got sandwiches here for a few days in a row. They have amazing food and drinks, and the customer service is so endearing. Great for a fun casual atmosphere.
