With three locations in the Treasure Valley, the locally-owned deli has garnered a loyal following over its 40 plus years of service. Their signature sandwiches are always made with fresh ingredients, including quality meats and cheeses. Best of all, they’re not afraid to pile ’em high.

The story of this local deli begins in 1980 when Alex Hugo opened “The Original Hugo’s Deli” at Overland and 5-Mile in Boise. Still in operation to this day, Hugo’s Deli has been a favorite for much more than their sandwiches.

In fact, the star of the deli’s menu may not be the sandwiches, but Hugo’s famous “Deli Fries.” You may be wondering what’s so special about fries, but trust us. We don’t know exactly what it is, but Hugo’s thick-cut fries are obsession worthy!

The deli’s fried chicken is also legendary. If you’re in need of a quick dinner option, you can’t go wrong! Also be sure to try their finger steaks, macaroni salad, potato salad, and cole slaw.

Of course, you can’t go wrong with a Hugo’s sub. You can build your own sandwich, or you can try one of their specialty sandwiches. The Hugo Special - ham, corned beef, pastrami, cheddar & pepper jack, mayo, horseradish, dijon mustard, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion - never disappoints.
