Greetings,
We are 1 year old as of April 1!
Seems like forever ago that I purchased Green Rock deli on April 1, 2022
Looking back, I would like to thank our many loyal customers.
I have made some major changes to the restaurant but have also kept the core menu the same.
We still make the same homemade Pickles, Chicken wild rice soup and feature Sandwiches that Green Rock is known for, but have added a wide variety of daily special that are simply comfort food such as Tater Tot Hotdish, Lasagna or Hot Turkey Sandwich and a wide selection of bakery such as Cookies, Brownies, Cakes and Pies.
People really do enjoy our Apple, Cherry and Sour Cream Apple Pies and my staff really enjoy the Crème De Menthe Brownies!
And let’s not forget about the coffee! Our coffee is a house blend of light and dark roast together and they taste amazing!
Pretty soon here, when the weather permits, come join us for our outdoor grilling of Hamburgers, Hotdogs and daily grilling features.
As a reminder, always consider Green Rock Deli for your catering needs.
We can do a lot more than just sandwiches.
Give Greenrock Deli a call at 763-477-5222 and I (Steve) will work out the details for you.
Please stop in to check out my restaurant located at 7951 Hwy 55 or you can e-mail me at Steve@greenrockdeli.com for any questions. Thank you!

Approximately 90% of WH’s members participate in the ORU program, contributing a total of almost $20,000 each month. ORU’s board manages the donated money, which is held in a trust fund. Through a selection process and review of guidelines, the ORU trust board evaluates funding requests on a bimonthly basis.
