If you’re looking for an affordable lunch in Indian Wells or Palm Desert, you may have noticed something: getting a good, satisfying lunch for under $20 isn’t always as easy as it used to be.
At Deli Chick, we think lunch should still be simple.
A good sandwich. A house-made side. Something cold to drink. No reservation, no dress code, and no $25 lunch bill.
Located on Highway 111 in Indian Wells near Cook Street, Deli Chick is a casual, counter-service deli serving made-to-order sandwiches, salads, breakfast, coffee, and espresso drinks.
And yes — you can still get a complete lunch for under $20.
Lunch Under $20 in Indian Wells
Here’s what makes Deli Chick different: every sandwich comes with a side.
That means you don’t have to order a sandwich and then add another $4–$6 just to make it a meal. Your side is already included.
Most of our sandwiches are priced between $13.95 and $16.95, and fountain drinks are $2.49.
For example:
Deli Tuna + house-made side + fountain drink = $16.44
California Turkey + house-made side + fountain drink = $17.44
Deli Chick’s Tuna + house-made side + fountain drink = $17.44
Even our Desert Club, one of our heartier sandwiches, can be paired with a fountain drink and still come in under $20.
That’s a complete lunch without the complete-lunch price tag.
What Comes With Your Sandwich?
At Deli Chick, your sandwich isn’t just a sandwich.
Every lunch sandwich comes with a side, and with the exception of chips, our sides are made in-house.
Depending on what’s available, you can choose from favorites like:
- Potato salad
- Coleslaw
- Chips
It’s a small detail, but it’s one of the things that makes a Deli Chick lunch feel like an actual meal.
