Stopped by and got about 6 different things because it all looked so good. They were all perfect. The only thing I don’t understand is why there’s not a constant line out the door

Chicken salad is great especially on Rye bread. Good size sandwiches for the price and comes with a pickle.

Awesome food, very gracious owners and all staff. No wonder there is a line. Magical mayonnaise but everything is wonderful

The boxed lunch brings me back to my youth. No frills, just delicious and filling. Love that potato salad.

Food is really good and the portions are big. They have really good service if you let them know what you like they will get ya taken care of.

Excellent food, delicious house made mayonnaise, fabulous butter cookies — better fare in a nostalgic setting.

I was so happy I stumbled upon this gem. My go to sandwich is the Pastrami on Pumpernickel with mustard and cole slaw.

I love the sandwiches and everything they have yummy. I need to get over that way and have some

Been going here since was a kid. Everything is delicious comfort food, and I miss the deviled eggs since I don't live in Houston anymore!

No inside ordering, pick up, or dining. Very good with Curbside. Everything is as good as its been for the 50+ years I've been going there

Always delicious. Whenever my boyfriend and I drive into Houston, we always stop here for lunch!

Best sandwiches in Houston. Unique potato salad all homemade and fresh

Popular deli serving great favorites. Good portions. Varied menu. Clean store. Fast service. Eat in or take out. Reasonable prices.

Mister Eric and I got the brownies. The tornado 🌪️ didn't stop them! He is going to lay off the brownies even tho they are so good. They have nuts in them? Had to have a second bite. 🟫

Great Mom and Pop sandwich shop! Loved the deviled eggs

I've been enjoying Nielsen's Deli for 55 years. I used to ride my bicycle to the original location in Highland Village. The new location is too far for me to ride my bicycle but I still try and visit as often as possible. Still some of the best liver paste in town. I wish they still had Grapettes to wash it down.

20 Years Ago a co-worker shared with me a delicious chicken salad on pumpernickel, pickle, fruit cup and fudge ball and now I am a stay @ home mom and five children later we still come to Nielsen's; but we don't share! The BEST!! Thank you Nielsen's

Haven't lived in Houston too long... My first time so I said, "I'll have your best, please:)" This. Chicken. Salad. Sandwich. Is. For. Real.. Also, always warming to be greeted with kind smiles and friendly helpful folks. Thanks so much, I'll swing by often to grab lunch:) ...was on my way to Burger King around the corner but I pulled in here instead... right move

My favorite anytime is chicken salad on rye or roast beef. Try the devil eggs & stuffed peppers . The pickles are my grandsons favorite. Chicken salad on rye with chips & ice tea will be round $12 + worth every bite. Curbside only.

10 stars if I could! I've come here with family for their roast beef since before I could remember! I live on the other side of town too but the food, people who own it and work there are completely worth the drive!

This place is unique! Actually this restaurant should be a inductee for the Hall of Fame in Houston. I love the chicken salad on wheat with letters an tomatoes. I'm a customer for over 20 years.

Me and my family has gone there for years and the sandwichs is amazing. Everyone that works there is very nice.

Nielsen's is an Absolute Institution of Deliciousness. If you grew up In Houston then chances are you've been to Nielsen's. I always go with the pastrami on Rye with 3 deviled eggs and a bag of Hot voodoo chips with a fountain drink oh and dont forget the Homemade Bread for purchase and the Butter Cookies 🤩🤩🤩

They have an amazing roast beef sandwich!

Have the corned beef and swiss on rye (don't micro manage world-famous spread--have it), potato salad (Dixie cup--only potato salad I eat) and a fountain Coke...heaven!! That's for a neverever.. pumpernickel is great. Call your order ahead--even 10 minutes..a true Houston gem

These guys have been around longer than I am old. I remember going to the original place with my dad when I was four years old. Always a treat when I am in the area. Best ham and Swiss on rye on the planet!!!

My second time - not sure why there was so much time between trips! Bread is fresh, and the sandwich is loaded with meat. By far the best tuna I've had!

Only real houstonians know about this. 🤤 the potato salad and the yellow secret spread they put on the sandwiches are especially good. I usually get turkey or pastrami and a bag of chips

Great finger food! and the people are really nice recommended for u to try it I got the chicken salad sandwich.

A hidden gem in Houston. The food was definitely homemade and it showed! The lady at the counter was also very courteous and helpful.

What struck me first were the people working there. Very polite and helpful. It was my first time in and they were able to direct me as to what is popular. I ended up getting a pastrami and white with lettuce and tomato. Probably one of the best sandwiches I've had in Houston. I highly recommend checking it out.

This place is ADDICTING! All it takes, is to try one of their deviled eggs and you’ll be able to taste the family history in their recipes. That coupled with the mother-daughter combo serving up legacy dishes and I’m a lifer. Take their recommendations. I got the roast beef with Havarte and I’ll never want to get one anywhere else. Thank you guys so much!!!

Amazing counter service and delicious, old-fashioned sandwiches and salads. I grew up on neilson's pastrami sandwiches with my grandparents and this will always be a special place for me to grab lunch. Every time I visited my grandmother she would have picked up Nielsen's sandwiches for us to share. I love this place, it is a Houston gem. I have to say the deviled eggs are not my style, super horseradish-y or something.

Whenever our group had to have sandwiches brought in for meetings, if my boss was paying attention he always made sure they came from Nielsen's. I never heard of the place, but I loved their sandwiches. They were so much better than the mass produced stuff from Jasons or Subway. About 10 years after I had my last sandwich from there my wife and I were driving down that stretch of Richmond, which is way out of our usual locale, and I saw the shop. I had to stop and get sandwiches there for us for lunch. They were as good as they always were.

There are many things I've loved about Nielsen's over the years: Their obsession for quality is probably my favorite thing though, the deviled eggs and potato salad are truly amazing, but every little detail from the sliced meats to their pickles are managed with utmost care for the quality of the food. I've seen how they work their business, and it's one place that I know I can eat at and not worry where the food has been or where it's coming from because I know everything that will be served to me is the same that the owner would serve to his own family.

Been going to Nielsen's since 1966. Sandwiches are still delicious. My favorite of hot pastrami and swiss cheese is still delicious however no longer served hot (no big deal actually). They are at same location however the original owners from Denmark and their children are no longer with us however the family has handed down the old country traditional quality the same all these years. Fresh bread, Danish potato salad, excellent meats and cheese variety however I did not see their wonderful chocolate ecclairs.

Despite what you might see from other reviewers, this deli has been serving Houstonians since 1957. The recipe for the potato salad is a closely guarded secret. If you are looking for fast cheap food, this isn't your place. This is hand made, fresh every single day, and worth every single penny. These dishes will not disappoint. In fact when my parents moved out of Houston in 1992, we came here for a last deli fresh meal and memories. I know I'm not the only one. I only wished I lived a little closer that Katy and could come here for lunch more often!

We have driven by here numerous times and finally we're able to stop in. The staff is friendly, the food is fresh. I really enjoyed the turkey sandwich and my husband enjoyed the pastrami. We will happily come back.

Eating that sandwich was like time travel! To a time where quality, customer service and passion for your craftstill exists. I would add a photo, but I ate it way too fast.

Some of the BEST sandwiches in town. Terrific Chicken Salad Sandwiches, Roast Beef Sandwiches even boring Turkey Sandwiches are COMFORT FOOD EXTRAORDINAIRE! With a bag of chips, a pickle, and if you really want to splurge, potato salad is yummy. There is some magic in that mayo! But don't expect to sit there and eat, unless you go really early or late, it is a take out experience.

It took me back to old times! Great sandwich I had. And what was it ? Why it was a Corned beef and Swiss on Rye! And introduced to that homemade mayo, yes mayo! Not mustard which I dare say! I always have mustard on my corn beef. But I wanted them to make it the way they make it and I was sold!!!

Cheesecake and sugar cookies are my goto and are yummy! They have many other goodies here as well. Cute, small mom and pop place it's a treasure around here.

I've been driving by this place for 25yrs and finally stopped for a sammich and glad I did! Ordered the Turkey on Rye with Lettuce, Tomato pickles & Swiss and it did disappoint! Great place and I'll be back...

As several reviewers refer to it, this little "hole in the wall," is a Houston Eatery Landmark by name. Nielsen's is currently at its 3rd location in my lifetime and it is still the original....anyway...NO folks, it's not the Roast Beef, not the Turkey, though such traditional deli fare is very good here...IT'S the generational tradition of the Chicken Salad made with at touch of celery and lots of homemade mayonnaise, it's the Potato Salad with egg and lots of homemade mayonnaise...anyone starting to get it? After all the name is "Nielsen's" and the family's Danish/Scandinavian heritage, as my grandmother told me back in 1974, is what makes this mayonnaise so good...the Pasta Salad with fresh dill is amaaaaazing....anytime I’m in Houston or just passing through it’s very hard for me to resist stopping by Nielsen’s.

This has been a favorite deli for 40 years. It doesn't get much better. It's a Danish take on typical deli fare, but so worth it. Their homemade mayo does the trick in my favorite potato salad.

My go to place for a great sandwich. All sides except for chips are made in house...their potato salad and homemade mayonnaise are legendary. Not really a dine in deli...a few seat in the front window. Been around since 1950...must be doing something right!

Great Mom and Pop shop. Very friendly and really good food. Owner works there and is proud of her story. Lots of regulars. Would recommend.

Old review; I m 70 and have come here since a teen. Always good. One of a kind brownies, don't forget dessert 2/20/24 still good. Pricey! New; 2/17/2021 I recently went and was somewhat disappointed. I understand that Ellen's son's daughter is running it now. The people who are there seem to be trying to please but I agree w/other reviewer that it's not quite the same. Have the recipes changed or perhaps the source for ingredients is different. I will still go but I do think it is very pricey, too. I also noticed that its listed as a jewish deli when I've always understood it to be Danish!

Very quaint atmosphere. Seating is limited but well worth it.

I’ve been coming here since I was 18: it’s amazing how they can make a simple turkey sandwich become something amazing, but somehow they do! Their homemade mayonnaise is delicious… they haven’t changed a thing in 70 years, and I hope they don’t!

The owners are from Denmark. A family owned and operated deli since 1957. They have the best deviled eggs, chicken salad sandwiches. The pastrami on rye also very delicious. They use quality imported and all home/hand made dishes. The potato salad is the best! A family secret recipe. They are worth the price.

Listen to me when I tell you this, this place will bless your soul!

I've never eaten a Deviled Egg that delicious in my life. It was heavenly. Young man taking the order was a nice kid, the other staff interactions were positive and no kidding, the best Pastrami on Rye outside of Brooklyn. Well done.

I've been coming here for over a decade and I've never had a bad experience. The food has been consistent at every visit with no variation in quality. The current staff is some of the best ever and I really like the new credit card system and the ability to leave a tip using a credit card.

I started to go to Nielsen‘s back in the 1970s. They have the best kosher chicken salad along with kosher potato salad. Definitely to live for. I’m so glad that they are continuing the legacy of a wonderful delicatessen. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate it number one being extremely good. If you get a chance be sure to swing by and it is well worth your money.

It's just so good.... And the deviled eggs are amazing. This is definitely not diet friendly food. It is pricey, but worth the monthly splurge for me. 😀

Best deli in Houston hands down. There are only a few seats but man it's worth it. They do a lot of their own meats in house, and make their own mayo which is spectacular!

So freakin' good!!! Had work in the area, decided to treat myself to lunch, was not disappointed; pastrami on rye was ✨fabulous✨! Staff was very welcoming, gave recommendations as to popular menu items. Will definitely be back!

Wheat, Danish Havarti, Turkey, Lettuce & Tomato with deviled egg. All with the very best homemade mayonnaise you’ve ever placed in your mouth. There’s a reason Gourmet Magazine reviewed their delicious offerings. This is not a place for “hold the ...” or dieters. Loyal customer 53 years.

Nielsen is an authentic delicatessen institution in houston. Their game are sandwiches with home made cuts and mayo. The whole ensemble is top notch cold cuts sandwiches and sides that is heavy on the mayo. If you don't like mayo there's probably something on the menu you would like but I'm not sure what that is. I had sweet coleslaw. It was drenched in creamy, sweet sauce and yet still very crunchy (indicating that it appears to be made fresh). I had a wonderful roast beef sandwich on pumpernickel. The roast beef is house made, juicy, and flavorful so it is quite different than your standard roast beef. When i sat for lunch on weekday there was a constant stream of all different kinds of people that you would expect from a place that's been running as long as this place has. It meets a particular sandwich style and does it excellently. I plan on returning for something else.

I moved away from Houston about 25 years ago but always remembered this place. I finally found myself back here and it's exactly the same and delicious. Sandwiches seem bigger. Roast beef on rye with Danish Havarti is signature. Not sure why they haven't been granted some landmark status by the city. Please Nielsen's, never change.

Nielsens Delicatessen is a true-to-roots Danish treasure, open since 1952, and every bite is a celebration of craft, love, and nourishment perfected over generations. The combination of deli meats, cheeses, and breads in their carefully curated boxes is nothing short of magical—clearly made with devotion for family, friends, and anyone lucky enough to taste it. The coleslaw—creamy, crisp, and refreshingly cool, with that cucumber-melon vibe—was a delight, and the fruit salad, with perfectly fresh chunks of pineapple, was bursting with sunshine. I could not believe I found delicious spear pickles, each wrapped like tiny gifts—it turned into a sweet, whimsical date for my husband and me. The potato salad was spectacular, rich and comforting in a way that felt like a true homage to tradition. And the pastrami? Absolutely knocked my socks off. The way it was paired with Havarti and pumpernickel was pure genius—who even thinks to do that? The cold box was more than enough for a light, indulgent lunch, and each bite made me shake my head in delight and smile. This isn’t just food—it’s a ritual of nourishment, craft perfected over 73 years, and a testament to the magic of love, care, and tradition in every layer, slice, and sprinkle. Nielsens Delicatessen feeds more than just the body—it feeds the soul and warms the heart, offering a true taste of Danish heritage in every bite.

Since I moved to Houston I always wanted a breakfast place with real food and simple experience well, today I found it the sandwich is a bit pricey but once you see the quality and quantity of beef in that sandwich you won’t regret it

My first job in the 60’s was at Houston Art & Frame on Drexel Dr in Highland village. Nielsens was right next door. I always enjoyed their food top notch delicatessen. Homemade mayonnaise is the best. Better than Hillmans. Deviled eggs are yummy yum. Stop in and enjoy this deli like I have for the last 60 years.

The best ever!!! I call ☎️ and Linda always walks over the order to my friend Toni salon next door .. delicious

Very overdue review here- eaten here my entire life and it has always been outstanding. The Turkey and Havarti cheese on wheat is my staple but the Roast Beef and the Chicken Salad are fantastic. The deviled eggs are excellent. My mother would be writing one as well if she did reviews- she eats here on a weekly basis. This place has been around forever and there is a reason why- it's just that good!

I don't know where they source their deli meats; I just know that the taste is significantly better than anything I've gotten from the local grocery store. The roast beef is awesome. My wife loved her tuna salad sandwich. Even the deviled eggs are awesome.

I stopped for lunch today. With respect to deli style sandwiches, this was absolutely the BEST SANDWICH I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. I had the corn beef and liver spread on rye. I will be back for lunch.

I walked in as they were about to close and got a salad plate to go. It came with a fruit salad, chicken salad, pasta salad, coleslaw, bread and pickles. The salads are DELICIOUS. Everything's homemade, including their mayo. They also gave me a free cup of their deviled egg to try, which they are apparently famous for, and it did not disappoint! I also purchased a couple of fudge balls (yum!), but their cheesecake... oh man, their cheesecake... it left me and my husband speechless. Wow. Just wow!!!

Best sandwich deli in Houston. Only thing sad is they got rid of their classic look and put in tvs for menus - they should go back to the old school menus they had. Not everything is better new and modern. #keepitclassy

I dream about eating here once a week. Sadly, I only get to eat here once a month or so. It’s the potato salad. It is magical and delicious and what all potato salads should aspire to be. I buy a pint and ration it out so as to enjoy it as long as I can. Which is never long enough.

Simple, clean and tasty sandwich. This shop has clearly been here for a long time and has been churning out consistent quality for a long time. The pastrami sandwich was great but it was very simple. If you like a very straight forward sandwich, this is your place. If you are looking for more complicated and specialty, I would go elsewhere. Overall everyone was friendly and everything is made to order. I would happily come back.

Very good sandwich the bread was just ok the meat was out of the world good pickles great. A little over priced. But I would recommend.

Ive driven by so many times and finally gave it a shot today. The pastrami sandwich I got was excellent but a little pricey.

Surprise on the great customer service. Heard they had the best roast beef sandwich in town so decided to give it a shot. It was a bit too raw for me making it kinda chewy. It was worth a shot though.

It's interesting in a good way. The sandwich is delicious and it gives you a 50's 60's kind of feeling. Staff was super nice. I really like it here. The comfort!

Small shop, but big meals! Thin sliced Roast Beef and Cheese are awesome! Potato Salad and Cole Slaw are really good. Its expensive but worth it!

Great little hole in the wall sandwich place.... made on sandwich bread with excellent quality meets. Place is tinny, sits about 6 on bench stools across the window. I keep going back for a quick lunch when I am out in the area.

You need a few things to be considered a great deli. - friendly and knowledgable staff at the counter - variety of breads which are, of course, well made - fresh meats, again with a good variety, and plenty of it in your sandwich Neilsen's delivers on these. Super friendly greeting as I approached the counter. I wasn’t sure what to order so I was told about the more popular menu items. I ordered a ham and pastrami on rye with mustard. Had a small side of potato salad, chips and a drink. Zapp's along with other brands were available. Any deli that has Zapp's gets bonus points in my book. When I received my order, I took the sandwich out of the bag and felt like I was holding a newborn baby. This was one hefty sandwich. Potato salad was tasty as well. Great spot, and can't wait to return!

It seemed a little pricey but, the quality and portions really made up for that!

More of an OG deli, not one of the modern hybrid ones we see a lot of these days. Is as it is expected to be. Friendly staff, straight forward menu options, reasonably priced. The bread was fresh and tasted great. The deviled eggs were awesome. Not giving 5 as my chicken sandwich was quite salty. Overtime I have come to expect that of turkey deli sandwiches but in the chicken I found the saltiness a bit off putting. Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed my food and will likely be back

Overall everyone was friendly and everything is made to order. I would happily come back.

Not that impressed, at least with the turkey sandwich. Service was fast and friendly. The place was clean and quiet $8+ for the sandwich then they nickel and dime ya for lettuce, tomatoes, etc..., add chips and a drink and you are well into the $15 range. The turkey was very dry and all the meat was piled on one side of the bread, forcing me to reassemble it myself. To be fair, they did pile the meat on. Salt-n-pepper were free, at least.

Very old school deli, and every established business in this area. They make their own mayonnaise so I gravitate to the chicken salad and potato salad for lunch. Few places to sit so I always get it to go. In and out quickly or call ahead. Don't miss this place, you just may discover your new favorite sandwich shop.

This place has been around for a while and looks to have a longtime loyal customer base. I’ve driven by many times and decided to try it. Old building, nothing special and the customer service is good. The sandwich I had (the corned beef) was good but nothing special. If you’re looking for a simple traditional sandwich this place will do but I think they need to widen the variety and options on the sandwiches.

9 dollars for essentially 2 pieces of bread and deli meat. What you're paying for here is quality from an earlier time. It's the best sandwich you'll have in town. But do you want to pay 9 dollars for a sandwich?

Maybe I went on an off day, or maybe just ordered the wrong thing but I was really disappointed. The chicken salad sandwich I had was $9 for two pieces of grocery store white bread with a mound of really dry, almost gritty salad that was very bland and hard to swallow. And if you try to get any veggies like lettuce, they cost even more. Will not be returning.

I've wanted to try out this place a long time, I know they had another location decades ago in the Spring Branch area. Well, I found out I wasn't missing anything; other comments indicated it used to be better, but I was very disappointed w/ the dry turkey sandwich & very plain potato salad. I won't be back.

I had the turkey sandwich, it was fresh but, plain. Expensive for a sandwich that comes with 2 pieces of bread, turkey meat and mayo. Tomatoes, cheese, lettuce is extra. Employees are nice!

oh so sad! We've enjoyed Nielsen's for over 30 yrs - and stopped in on 8/10 after maybe a 15 month hiatus (we moved away). We sere so disappointed with the change in the cole slaw, which used to be a creamy, savory delight - now it is overly sweet and no creamy texture at all. The deviled egg was once a lofty pillow that was twice the size of the cup - now it is shrunk to less than half the size - although I will say it tasted good. The JR chicken salad sandwich has also been reduced to maybe 1/3 of the original size - and not nearly as luscious or creamy as it once was. I shudder to think what's been done to the once spectacular potato salad - we did not sample it this visit but I'm afraid of what it's become. This is not progress.....please go back to the original recipes and presentation.

I had a pastrami sandwich. I don't know it I could have gotten it hot, but I would have liked it that way, rather than cold...The sandwich was fine..nice portion of meat. Maybe spread over the bread a little more...not clumped in the middle. The Sprite was HORRIBLE! Hardly no fizz and could barely taste what kind of soda it was ...hardly any flavor. Not a fan of kettle chips, but I guess that is what they serve.

I have been coming to the place as child. I was so excited to come back home to Houston and relive my childhood in a way. I was extremely disappointed and saddened. I’m not sure what the problem is but all of the taste profiles of the food are different. The deviled eggs were to over powered with horseradish. The spread on my sandwich was too runny. My potato salad was bland. The butter cookies which I loved looked pale undercooked and for $7 a bag they were extremely skimpy. Not the butter cookies I remember when Mrs Ellen Anderson was alive and well. The herb toast I got with my chicken and rice soup tasted bland. I’m assuming there are new cooks in the kitchen and are not following recipes or changed them. Why change things when they are not broken. I can say that I did not get my monies worth. When I get great food I do not mind spending money but this food is no longer great.

So after passing this place several times my husband and I were in the area and decided to pay a visit and see what all the hype is about. Note that I am raised in Sweden which is a neighbouring country to Denmark and which has a similar food culture. I ordered a Danish Havarti Cheese sandwich with a side of the potato salad and deviled egg. To our disappointment all our dishes had way too much of their homemade mayo, all we could pretty much taste was mayo. And to be honest I'm not sure if that's a true custom in Denmark, to have that much mayo in everything, seems pretty American to me. And that's why I give it 2 starts.

cheese cake was horrible. Not the the cheese cake I ate 15 years ago. Taste like rubber

I love Nielsen's egg salad, pasta salad and crab salad and purchase them often. Normally I am pleased with the food and service, but today's experience has soured my perception of the business. I purchased a quart of pasta salad for lunch, and a Dixie Cup of Crab Salad. My husband ate the pasta salad first, and mentioned the salty taste. The salad was extremely salty to me so I called hoping to receive a replacement. Linda Anderson informed me that the deli would not make another batch today, to which I replied that I could wait until tomorrow. Linda tasted the salad and said that it was the usual recipe. I was not, and am not interested in a refund, and have no problems returning the salad, but I do believe that Nielsen's should have offered to replace my pasta with something different today, or the same product tomorrow.

I've been eating Nielsen's Delicatessen food here sincethe early 1960's, through 3 generations of Nielsen's, and today my regular pastrami on rye bread was inedible due to a streak of gristle left in the pastrami. The rye bread was like just ordinary bread from a grocery store. The pastrami here used to be, until not so long ago, very lead and all fat was trimmed off of it. Not any more. Just thought I'd put up a warning to anyone who used to visit Nielsen's as recently as the 3rd generation - that Nielsen's is long gone. This was my last visit and a VERY disappointing one.

Too expensive for a bland, tasteless sandwich. They charge extra for lettuce and give you one singular slice of lettuce. $13$ for the worst sandwich I’ve ever had

Terrible, atrocious, experience! We are longtime, possibly a decade long now, regular customers. We have literally poured our money into this place, eating here like once a week, or more. The guy with the mustache always smirks at us, and constantly leaves the cheese outta our, already super expensive, sandwiches! The soups use to be super hot, and delicious. Now they're ice cold, even when you order them in larger sizes! This guy will read your order right back to you WRONG = without cheese! Even after we correct him, and then he freaking SMIRKS at you, as well! The owner is a super nice and kind lady, but how do they say it, "When the cat's away the mice shall play?" When shes not right there, on premise of her business, Don't dare order anything, just walk right straight back outside, and go somewhere where they'll actually appreciate you for your precious money. Whenever the owner lady is not there this place is a nightmare. Wrong orders, left out items on the sandwiches, and ice cold, probably a health violation, soup! We have now taken our business just a few blocks down the same street, on Richmond, to Little Jimmy's Deli. We highly advise you do the same. There's parking behind Little Jimmy's, down Richmond, in the free parking garage just behind the deli.

Whenever the owner lady is not there this place is a nightmare. Wrong orders, left out items on the sandwiches, and ice cold, probably a health violation, soup! We have now taken our business just a few blocks down the same street, on Richmond, to Little Jimmy's Deli. We highly advise you do the same. There's parking behind Little Jimmy's, down Richmond, in the free parking garage just behind the deli.

Too expensive for a bland, tasteless sandwich. They charge extra for lettuce and give you one singular slice of lettuce. $13$ for the worst sandwich I’ve ever had
