Back in the day (we're talking 10-15 years) this was a family oriented place that housed a welcoming feeling when you walked thru the doors. The children in the neighborhood would make a day of it to walk from their house to the Deli just to get a snoopy bar and gum (which they continue to sell, thank goodness!) Today, that is not so much the case as it is now littered with alcohol that is way too assessable to kids under age (but they do card). It has a Bar type look from the outside that coincides with the interior and it just doesn't have the old appeal it used to. It was a proud Springfield Tradition that has just gone south. Many will hold the fond memories of their childhood there at Sleepy Hallow Deli, playing the arcade games and eating ice cream. The Deli is average, and this is not to discourage people from actually visiting the place. It's just sad to see what was once a wonderful, family place, become the total opposite.
