Big things in store for everyone’s favorite deli dive, Rhea’s. First, check out this architect sketch of the proposed new storefront:
Not sure what’s up with the pink-clad ballet ghost in front of the doors, or when to expect construction to start, but this seems to indicate business is good which is fine by me.
Also, Rhea’s Deli will be on Bay Area Check Please tomorrow night. If you actually still have TV, tune in and see some clueless dork complain about the lack of fine dining service and valet parking options. The rest of us can see it on their blog in a few days.

Update: More great news: starting October the deli is open every day, with the possibility of extended hours.
Time and channel?
it’s actually tomorrow night:
KQED 9:
Thursday at 7:30pm
Thanks Vic.
“…some clueless dork complain about the lack of fine dining service and valet parking options…”
That sounds more like Willie Brown’s column on SFGate than the guests on Check Please.
Congratulations to Rhea’s. It’s about time they deserve some recognition for their banging sandwiches!
What? Almost a whole day since this post and no comments from some jerk randomly slamming Rhea’s for an invented or insignificant reason? MM, you are failing me.
Personally, I used to like Rhea’s but that place is run by pompous jerks. For years I put up with that crap because I liked the sandwiches. Service is unprofessional in the sense that if you don’t have a pound of metal on your face and the faux biker/hipster uniform on then they are going to ignore you till you say something. Also, you know who else likes Rhea’s? Hitler.
Can I “like” this comment?
as someone who has worked in service for several years, if you are getting bad service, 99 times out of 100, it’s more likely your attitude than your appearance. people who discriminate don’t last long in this industry. i think you’ll find if you present yourself with a friendly smile and a bit of assertiveness, you will get great service at most places, including Rhea’s.
all the people that work there are extremely friendly in my experience. sometimes it’s crowded and there are long sandwich waits, but you can’t blame that on the staff.
Oh yeah, that was the other thing that was missing! The followup comment taking as sincere a comment that was obviously facetious. Well done, t.hanks!
