Latest News About Garden Variety Deli

Here’s the latest I can provide based on recent public coverage:

• Garden Variety Deli in Tower Grove South (3131 Morganford Rd, St. Louis) opened in mid-2025 and expanded its weekday hours to 11 a.m.–2 p.m. from Wednesday through Sunday, offering house-made sourdough focaccia sandwiches and a rotating menu built around fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The founders include Travis Howard and Jack McGinn, who have prior restaurant experience in the area, and the concept emphasizes produce “picked that morning” from their own farm as much as possible. There are plans for outdoor seating and eventual breakfast offerings as the operation grows.[1]

• The menu highlights five staple sandwiches such as a turkey with havarti and dill ranch, a roast beef with romesco, and a vegetarian option featuring fennel goat cheese; there are also grain bowls and a rotating selection of seasonal items. The deli has a dedicated online presence with current hours listed as Wed-Sun 11:00-2:00, and a menu page showing items like turkey and veggie options.[2][4][1]

• For broader context and confirmation, Garden Variety Deli’s own site and a local coverage piece corroborate the concept, location, and emphasis on fresh, farm-to-table ingredients, with ongoing plans for more outdoor seating and potential breakfast items in the future.[3][2]
