Full Belly Deli
About This Establishment
Full Belly Deli was born over a fresh-baked loaf of jalapeño-cheddar bread and two PBRs. Co-owners Eric Barton and Tom Marrin share a strong bond over their love of a good deli sandwich.
Over a couple more fine brews, they laid the groundwork for a place locals would love and embrace, a dining establishment tourists would seek out on any trip to the Truckee/Tahoe area, and a spot you couldn’t wait to introduce to friends and family.
In December 2007, the Town of Truckee changed forever when Eric and Tom simultaneously switched on the “Open” and “Pabst” neon signs at Full Belly Deli. Since day one, the duo and their deli team have been serving up the freshest ingredients combined in ways mere mortals could never even dream of (Dorito-encrusted chicken? Biscuits & gravy burrito?) and they do it with an approach to customer service that is rare in the area.
Most regulars are on a first-name basis with the crew, but even first-time visitors are treated like family.
This “We are family” mentality extends outside the deli too, as FBD has a strong commitment to supporting the Truckee/Tahoe/Reno community. It’s common to see the crew supporting local charities and organizations.
There’s a lot of love in this place. Through their passion for serving great food, FBD shows that there’s more to making a sandwich than just slapping two pieces of bread together.
According to Chef Tom, “When you’re eating with a fork, all you do is push your food around the plate, looking for that perfect bite. We aim to put it on bread and give you twenty perfect bites. That’s our motivation behind making sandwiches.”
