History
Chef Tom has been feeding people of the Northwoods for 20 years, many of those years in fine dining establishments. The vision of CT's Deli is to change to feeding customers during the day. The historical building, along with the energy of downtown, offers an ideal location for a social, delicious lunch. Formerly called the Elbo Room lounge, the building itself has many tales to tell.. not to be outdone by Chef Tom's tales.
Specialties
CT's Deli (which stands for Chef Tom) is a family-owned small town deli in downtown Rhinelander that opened in July of 2015. We offer hot sandwiches from Chef Tom's smoked pork butt and beef brisket. In addition, we offer spit-carved gyros, paninis, cold sandwiches, scratch-made soups, and fresh salads. We have vegetarian and gluten-free options. We bring to Rhinelander a fine line of Italian deli meats, artisan cheeses, small-producer balsamic vinegars and oils, and chef-inspired food, wine, and beer pairings. Our historic building has the original copper ceiling and beautiful bar from which we serve a full line of craft beers, wine, and liquor. The open kitchen allows for interaction with Chef Tom and staff. We have inside and outside seating. Family-friendly with a small-person Minion Menu.
