West End Donut and Deli is a hidden gem! The staff was fantastic?super friendly and welcoming. The sandwiches were hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. You can tell they care about quality and customer service. It?s the perfect spot for a quick, satisfying bite. I highly recommend stopping by if you?re in the area. You won?t be disappointed!

A Hidden Gem in Gallup: Where Nostalgia Meets a Perfect Sandwich (and an Even Better Donut) In a world of ever-changing food trends and overhyped eateries, there?s something deeply satisfying about stumbling upon a place that gets it right without the fuss. Tucked away in the heart of Gallup, this unassuming sandwich shop is a local institution?one of those rare finds that could easily be overlooked by a passerby but remains a beloved staple for those in the know. Walking in, you?re immediately struck by

While traveling from Denver to Phoenix on a long road trip, we stumbled upon Westend Donut & Deli for lunch?and what a hidden gem it turned out to be! The service was impressively quick, and the sandwiches were absolutely incredible. Packed with perfectly portioned, flavorful meats, and served on soft, warm bread toasted to perfection, every bite was a delight. The friendly and welcoming staff made the experience even better. If you?re in the area, don?t miss the chance to stop by this deli?you won?t regret

Such a cool little sub and donut shop! The food is so fresh and delicious. The service is fast and friendly. Love the decor inside. Hubby and I came with our 8 children. We got Turkey bacon avocado subs and a roast beef sub and a dozen donuts. Everything was fantastic. It was a wonderful little stop.

Solid place great food !!! I make a stop here as much as I can ! To my other fellow truck drivers it?s 2 minutes away from Gallup one9 truck stop. You can fit up to 3 trucks right next to building come get a great sandwich and doughnuts !!

We like to visit local businesses rather than large chains. I read the reviews for Westend and we decided to stop there for lunch on our way through town. I'm so glad we did! That was one of the best toasted wheat smoked turkey and pepper jack sandwiches I've ever had in my life! It was the perfect balance of meat, bread, and veggies, and I was sad to take the last bite. It also came with a bag of chips we weren't expecting. Bravo Westend! Thank you for a delicious lunch! ??

Absolutely amazing sandwiches, 2nd time here and they are consistent with the food and quality ingredients. And being open 24hrs was amazing! Also 2nd time trying the donuts and I'd have to say to pass on these, stick to the sandwiches. The staff are also great and helpful. Who would've thought Gallup would have such great restaurants.

This place was phenomenal. We were driving back from a road trip to the grand canyon and were tired of fast food drive through. This place has good reviews and looked like something unique. We were in for a treat. The decor is a pretty wild mix of old diner and random living room. Lots of things to look around at while they make your sandwich. I got a Reuben pastrami that was amazing. The bread was soft, it was full of meat, and the sauce was super flavorful. My kids got the avocado turkey and loved theirs

Great turkey sandwich and apple fritter. Perfect combo after a long day of travel.

We are traveling from Wa State to Texas, my oldest wanted Taco Bell and My husband and I wanted real food, so he found Westend Donut and Deli and let me tell you, we were both extremely pleased with it. The bread was absolutely amazing, freshly baked, soft, and amazing. I got a turkey sandwich which was to die for, my husband got the pastrami and he loved it. If you are in the area and are hungry, I'd recommend this place 100? over again! We also got some donuts, which were good as well.

This is one of my favorite places we?ve been in a long time. The kitchen was impressively clean. The sandwiches were delicious and filling, we split the 12? cappicola on white (they make their own bread and you can tell), and the donuts were honestly probably the best donuts I?ve ever had. Their coffee was also perfect. My husband got the apple fritter and I got a chocolate twist, and then we ended up ordering more to go. The two men working were both very nice as well. If you?re in the area definitely give

We were driving through and stopped at this deli for lunch. It was the highlight of our road trip. It was inviting and charming with a comfortable atmosphere, clean restrooms, excellent service and delicious food. I only wish I lived closer. Gallup is lucky to have this gem of a restaurant.

Subs were good, we also got donuts for breakfast. They were good but the long john was a disappointment with literally just 1 bit with the cream. What upset me the most is the old man who was very talkative and pleasant was not very forthcoming with my total. I was told one amount but charged another but did nit know until I looked at my receipt the next day. There was an additional amount added to my total from what I was told. Very angry this was not disclosed and even more angry when I calculated it to b

The donuts and sandwiches are amazing! Even the day old donuts are delicious! The owner is a very sweet, interesting gentleman who radiates positivity and has great stories.

Happened 6/6/2025 My family has been coming here for decades as Gallup natives. However, the disrespect from the 71 yr old man who works late night was absolutely disgusting and absolutely unwarranted. We walked in to spend money - and tip for doing us a late night service; however just wow? I am left shook. We walked in waited a short bit and the tall skinny man greeted us and it followed with how they may not be able to do sandwiches? ok that?s fine but our initial reason upon visit was a sandwich but fi

This place is a real gem! We love donuts and try to find one in every town we travel to. We stopped at this and the donuts were amazing. I highly recommend! Great service as well.

DO NOT judge a book by its cover! Oh my gosh, the bread was so fresh, and 6" sandwiches were filling. Veggies and condiments were distributed evenly. Not too much, not too little. You can get extra vegetables for a cost. I definitely suggest getting your bread toasted. It adds such a good flavor to the sandwich, also softening the bread like it came fresh out of the oven. For dessert, the first donut that caught our eye was the apple fritter. Baked to perfection, crisp, thin, and a good amount of apples in

Always our pit stop when we pass by Gallup! This time we went with the Turkey BLT with Avocado on Wheat bread. It?s about $14 for the 12in which might sound like a lot but it?s definitely worth it. They load it up with all the goodness and warm it up. In all honesty you could probably go with the 6in and share that between two people. Great place to get food!

I stopped in on my motorcycle touring the south west. Absolutely wonderful sandwich. Definetly stop in and get a deli sub. So delicious.

Their donut display was full, large selection! Also, the sandwich I got was surprisingly amazing! (Turkey, bacon, avocado.) My son's pb&j was pretty good too. Definitely going to be my go-to when passing through Gallup.

Delicious sandwich and super friendly and helpful staff. Ate here at midnight and also during the day. Both time the sandwich was yummy. Definitely recommend this over subway. It also came with 2 mini bags of Lays chip. However the price point was a bit high in my opinion. For a 12 inch sandwich that was more like a 9 inch, costed over $22. But the sandwich was definitely filling. I ate half of it and I was stuffed. My favourite part about this place is the kind staff and the homemade bread. Manager lady is

Met the owner who has been running the place for over 40+ years, very nice person had a good conversation. Sandwich was excellent, even the bread is homemade there and the desserts are plentiful.

My wife and I finally got the chance to stop by again after a good six months passed and this is always our favorite place to go to in Gallup. No matter what time it is you'll get the best sandwiches and donuts around!! My wife always grabs the 6" Ham and cheese and I always get the Pepper Turkey with pepper jack cheese, bacon and avocado ??. Friendliest Folks you'll ever meet too.

Westend Deli is an all-time favorite spot in Gallup NM. Its on Old Route 66, and their bread is quite possibly the best I have ever had. Their sandwiches are a very generous portion and come with a great hot pepper on the side, and a bag of chips. I always get the turkey and swiss toasted....and it is delicious! I used to go here almost daily to get a donut before class when i was in highschool... and many years later their baked goods taste the exact same! The staff is always friendly, and the vibe is smal

Great Deli with amazing baked goods. We got the butter donut, twist, banana nut bread, and the apple fritters. The twist and apple fritter were our favorites. We also got the turkey avocado 12 inch sub with bacon and the roast beef sub, 12 inch. Both were good, although the roast beef sub was burnt slightly.

We were driving through Gallup on our way to Colorado and stopped! What a great place! The owner, Mike, was so kind. His employees were great! The Reuben, Roast Beef sandwich, donuts, and banana bread were incredible!! Mike makes everything right there! Nothing like homemade bread and donuts! Highly recommend!!

Great food and friendly staff. Enjoyed visiting with the owner. Love the donuts and pastrami sandwich. Will stop again.

A few people recommended that I try this place when I was in town. It was definitely a cold greeting when I walked in. But the Food was pretty good. Got the Turkey Sub. (6? was pretty good size). Carrot cake was a little stale, but decent.

Place was incredible. Owners were super nice and the food was great. Go here when you find yourself in Gallup.

Cute and colorful little diner style deli. The bread is fresh and the subs were so good! The folks who run it keep the place super clean inside and out. Don?t forget to try a donut, too!

Found this spot! Good location. Owner is friendly! Love the vibe of this place. My dad would have enjoyed this place. My husband and I walked in and the air was filled with the smell of fresh baked donuts. Hot chocolate was delicious. This is now on our travel list. We are donuts and deli kind of people.

One of the best sandwiches you'll get on the road. I'll be making a point to stop here whenever I'm back in the area

Super awesome and nice people here. Good portions and tasty Sammie

Traveling from Seattle to Florida. Didn't seem like there was anywhere to eat, but we decided to walk on over to this 24 hour place, and I AM SO GLAD WE DID!!! Great sandwiches and sweets. The place smells amazing and just makes you feel relaxed as soon as you walk in. The selection of sandwiches and drinks is great. Less we forget the Fantastic display of donuts, cookies, cake, tarts and more! We got a foot long Pepper Turkey Bacon Avacado on soft house made wheat. So. Delicious. And I cannot wait to dive

I worked a 13.5 hour day and am rewarded with this amazing turkey, bacon, tomato, and avocado 12 inch sub. Geez. Toasted and I got 2 bags of chips. Delicious- these folks never, ever disappoint.

Second time I have been there. I love the owners They are such sweet people. They make everything fresh there.

Love the blueberry donut, the people working there are just as sweet as the donuts. Would definitely come back if I had the chance

Awesome little bakery. Super cool owners. They have a great variety of good.

Been going there for years. Sandwiches are good, donuts are fresh and made daily in store. Brownies are chewy, fudgey, and chocolatey.

Excellent pastrami sandwich. Friendly staff. The place is a gem!

I had the turkey sub on wheat bread and it was one of the best subs I've ever had. The bread and veggies were fresh. The apple fritter was pretty good too.

This morning I met a great human being! I stopped for a breakfast burrito, coffee and a donut. I spent an hour visiting with the owner(Mike) great conversation and delicious food! Open 24 hours (No Mask Required)

Blueberry Donut is Amazing! Turkey Bacon Avocado on Wheat was hearty and tasty. Ham and Cheese on White was good and filling.

On my way to Texas,pull off the Hwy for gas. Wanted something different from the usual fast food places. Saw this place. They have a variety of sandwiches hot or cold, and reasonably priced. Then got a couple of Donuts and hot Coffee for the road. Friendly people

I was in the area so , I stopped for Donuts . I forgot to get some at walmart.i was all excited to check out the place cuz I never stop at this donut place. I asked this guy i wanted some donuts. I wanted some jelly,creamed fillings.( that's what donuts are all about..rite. filled! ).i got a dozen. But the fancy ones cost more & I was a happy person.the guys who packed them for me wasn't all amused with me or cuz I was a happy customer. He might have been the owner. Idk. But, I won't stop there anymore.

Listen to the reviews. Really great sandwiches for a quick stop.

When I'm coming from the state line into Gallup, I love stopping here and grabbing donuts and coffee. All the treats they have are really good, fresh and made in their shop. The owner is very sociable and nice and so is the staff. Thanks Westend, I'll keep recommending people your way! Travis ps. You have to try the cherry frosted donut, so good.

If your driving thru Gallup, stop at this deli for some great sandwiches, donuts, and cinnamon rolls.

My favorites are the turkey & swiss with a nice slice of the carrot cake, mmmmm! Plus, Robert and crew are the sweetest and always welcoming.

Food was delicious. Service was great and friendly. Very clean. You can?t go wrong

I like this place and I?ve come here for years, despite the steep prices and far west-of-town location. The last experience I had was very frustrating. I ordered two Turkey sandwich specials, one without cheese because my husband gets sick when he eats dairy. The cashier was super nice and competent. I watched her very clearly explain to the man making our $20-a-piece sandwiches that one order was without cheese and then watched him put cheese on it anyway. I told the cashier, who clarified with the man ma

The food was excellent and the staff were friendly.

This little stop along Route 66 is like a trip back in time. Incredibly kind service, and excellent food. Best apple fritter I've ever had, and I've had quite a few. Love the quotes on the chalkboards.

I always prefer to support local businesses when I travel and this place did not disappoint. The food is amazing, even for something as simple as a pastrami sandwich. Would love to know where they get their sandwich rolls because this is one of the tastiest rolls I've had really looking forward to the donuts that I picked up while I was there.

Delicious, homemade food and great service! Just what we needed after a long day on the road.

Hubby, pup dog and I split the 12 inch Turkey, Bacon and Avocado sandwich. Absolutely worth the price. Plenty big for the 3 of us and the bread was delicious! Staff couldn?t have been friendlier. Will be a go-to stop anytime we?re passing through.

Best sandwich and deli spot in Gallup! Toasted is the way to go

What a friendly spot! They have outstanding baked goods and sandwiches. I would recommend the bear claw, empe?adas, and Rueben sandwich! We?ll be back meat time we come through.

This place is amazing!!! Amazing food. Amazing prices. Amazing customer service and staff! They are REALLY open 24 hours!! You HAVE to stop in to say hi, grab and sandwich and a donut!!!!

Wow! Beautiful people and an amazing sandwich. Thanks, Westend Donut and Deli for a sweet stop while on the road. Much better than any of the National chains, fresh bread and great treatment. Support a wonderful local family! We will be back! Blessings.

Got a BLT on wheat. The bread was soft, and bacon was perfect!! It was so good I forgot to take a picture. If you're passing through Gallup, definitely make the stop. Super worth it!

Great sandwiches and service with a smile. Would certainly stop again.

The best apple fritters. Amazing donuts all around. No longer open 24/7

Simple, small little shop but great sandwiches and service. You will not be disappointed!

?????????????????????????????? Passing through from Durango to Scottsdale, we happened upon Westend Donut & Deli, and I couldn't be happier! My girlfriend got their veggie sandwich, fresh mushrooms, and ALL the veggies! I got the hot pastrami on wheat, as a New Yorker, I have high standards for Pastrami and this sammy slapped!!! We also got 2 blueberry donuts, and they were fantastic!!! We will definitely be swinging by for lunch any time we're in the area! ??????????????????????????????

I am on a road trip across the country and really needed something substantial to eat at around 9pm. The reviews for this place did not lie; I got the special (turkey, bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado, Mayo) and it was the best sandwich I?ve had in a while, toasted to perfection too. Super friendly workers and the interior has a nice diner feel.

Really enjoyed my stop here. Feels like the good old days. And, the food is delicious, especially these doughnuts.

I've always loved going to the West End! From high with friends to now when I take my kiddos. A 6" sub is big enough to share! It's always fun to the see the Greyhound bus stopping in the middle of the night too. #hometownfavorite

We (party of five) just left this establishment that calls themselves ?Christian.? The manager on shift immediately tells us as we walk in ?it will be hard to make food for you all because of our shift change.? He then let us order our food followed by asking us if we were dining in which we said yes. He was disrespectful to my fianc? when the request for his bread to be double-toasted was received with a response of ?we will try our best.? He then asked me if I was dining in and noticed me holding my therm

Stopped here on the drive back to the East coast, and honestly, best Reuben that my husband and I had! The bread was so fresh and pastrami was tasty. We also got doughnuts and banana bread for the rest of the trip, which I read will be good ?? The guys behind the counter were super friendly too so all in all, a really great place. If you ever go to Gallup, stop by here!

This place is worth the stop!! It's right off the interstate. The owner was very kind and pleasant to talk with. He asked where we were from. We are full-time RVING from NC and had read the reviews. I give the food a 10+. The turkey club sandwich was awesome, bread was fresh and donuts were great. The owner is truly a God blessed miracle with a great testimony.

This place was an okay place to eat. Cute bakery and the treats are nice. However, employees are not sanitary. I seen the person who was making sandwiches touch the trash and use the same gloves to try and make my sandwich. ?? Told the owner. She said rolling her eyes, "Stop making the sandwich because you touched the trash." Like do you eat germs from the trash? Do you eat from the trash? Do you lick the trash? If you (the owner) allow such things to happen, imagine how many other health code violations th

This little mom and pop shop is awesome. They stay busy because everyone knows how good they are. Sandwiches were yummy.

The bread is so fresh and sandwich was awesome. Will definitely stop again.

Sleeping at nearby hotel for one night driving to a chain restaurant and saw this place. So glad we turned around. Great folks and very good food. We got three different sandwiches and all went down easy. RECOMMEND

Thanks to other people?s posts and reviews we stopped in for lunch on our way to Arizona. Why would you ever buy a corporate sandwich when these guys make their bread from scratch. Their meat is sliced in house and is so very tender and all the ingredients are top notch. They have been in this location 39 years!!! The place is super clean as well. Support your local businesses and eat here often if you can. We were so impressed we also purchased donuts for this morning with our family?..they didn?t ma

In my humble opinion, and I have trouble staying humble with my opinions: this is the best Deli in the Gallup area! There I've had the pastrami and also the turkey-bacon sandwiches; just awesome sauce! Oh, and make sure to take home some banana bread! Amazing, fresh-baked banana bread at a fantastic price.

This place use to be so good! Not the same at all Anymore very disappointed and last time here not worth the time or $ spent

Driving through. Saw the reviews. Stopped and got a great Reuben. Owner was there at 8:00 at night greeting all that stopped in. Highly recommend. Love locals.

Oh man! What a great sandwich! Was not expecting much when we stopped in on a road trip, it?s an older dated building, but the staff was so nice and seriously some of the best sandwiches we?ve ever had.

Just had to vote. 740 other people wrote great comments. Just stop here!

Sandwiches were amazing! Great people, great local business. Can?t wait to try the bakery items we got to go.

Very friendly atmosphere. Great prices and excellent food. We ordered 6-in sandwiches and they gave us the larger one for free. And they also gave us chips. We ordered donuts and such for dessert and I can't lie I took a small taste of my carrot cake before my sandwich and it's delicious! Love love love this place!

Great donuts, and a heck of a good sandwich. My wife, Sister in law and mother in law all loved what they ordered. It was suggested we get the season turkey which turned out to be a great decision. It was fantastic and unlike any other slices turkey I have had. The employees were cool and seemed to enjoy their work. Is definitely stop back in while on a road trip through NM.

Normally I'd drive by a place like this. But I got to Gallup late and it was the only place open. "I'm really glad it was. It's two for the price of one. First, the sandwiches are amazing. They make the bread and the pastrami i had was very good. One warning, I had the six-inch and I couldn't finish it. Second is the donut part. Since it was late i wanted something to have with the coffee. Opted for the apple fritter. The next morning, warmed in the microwave it was perfect for a cold snowy day. Tr

Humble place but great sandwiches and donuts. Atmosphere is relaxing and the cashier was very friendly. My wife and I were passing through from Arizona on our way to Virginia. The GPS recommended this place. Over 300 reviews and over 4.5 stars says a lot. We stopped in. We had THE BEST BLT sandwiches we?ve EVER had!!! The lady cashier was very welcoming, warm and knowledgeable. We walked in without masks and she so gently made us aware of the state mandate. The entire team was friendly, speedy and willing

Great food at s great price. Mike, the owner, is a great guy. He is known for his excellent banana bread (I had it and it is excellent). He also makes a banana batter with blue berry muffin that the locals go crazy for. I also had the breakfast burrito. It was hot, fresh and man did it taste good. You never know about the coffee at these little shops, but the coffee was good too! If you're tired of fast food and want something basically home cooked... this is the place. Heck, even the regulars in th

This is one of my favorite places to eat in town. They have wonderful sandwiches that are generously sized, and yummy sweet treats. Donuts are not a personal favorite of mine, so I always get the Apple Fritter. Its my favorite! They have loads of other options as well. Definitely worth the drive to get out it! 10/10 would recommend!
