Description: Garden Deli is hidden under the cool shade of its trademark weeping willow tree on Burnsville's historic Town Square. We offer a lush garden setting for outside dining either under our tree, or under a covered deck 6 months out of the year. We also offer a full-size dining room inside with natural wood walls, hand-made lanterns, and oil paintings of local landscapes. We have a fireplace and a cozy atmosphere during the colder months, as we are open year-round.

Nice setting in downtown Burnsville for a break from browsing the shops. The menu is quite extensive, offering salads, sandwiches, homemade soups and desserts. They also serve beer and wine. The staff was efficient and friendly, and the prices are reasonable. The outdoor dining area is casual and inviting while the inside dining area is surprisingly large and well appointed.... More

We found the Garden Deli to be a very popular spot, and it's easy to see why. The food is great and the service is efficient and friendly. It's a good place to eat when you're in Burnsville, and we'd especially recommend the Deluxe Roast Beef Sandwich -- outstanding!

The Garden Deli is a beautiful place to eat when in Burnsville. They have traditionally served only lunch, and have that menu perfected, with homemade soups, salads, and a spectacular selection of sandwiches. They now serve dinner on thur, fri, and sat as well. I love sushi night, and their smoked ribs are simply the best. They also have a... More

Small towns are lucky to have a consistently good restaurant. The Garden Deli certainly qualifies. While there is outside seating during warm weather, I find the inside to be more comfortable. Prices are very reasonable for the quantity and quality of food. Not your standard fare from major food service providers. Service is friendly and efficient. Pay attention to hours... More

Garden Deli is always good, consistent and great service. A fixture in Burnsville and one of my two favorite places to dine!

Every time we are in Burnsville, we make sure to stop at the Garden Deli. Chicken Salad Sandwiches, Potato Salad side is great, Pastrami Sandwich. Everyone is very friendly and it's worth waiting for a seat as by noon there is a line waiting to get in. We have eaten on the patio and inside and both are comfortable.

This is my second trip to Burnsville's Garden Deli. Today, was my best friend's birthday and it was just a tad too chilly to dine in the courtyard. Inside was cozy with beautiful mountain views. We both had the Reuben with a side of potato salad. Excellent. The waitstaff was attentive & polite. This must be the "in" place in... More

I lived in Burnsville for 12 years and not once did I have a bad meal at the Garden Deli. Owners are friendly and it's a great place to eat. Lots of locals go there, so you'll always see customers saying hello to each other and stopping to chat. Where the locals go is where the food is good!
