3.5 stars - very good sandwiches but a bit disorganized. The menu is huge and they need a better system to keep track of all the orders. Prices are reasonable and we got filling sandwiches with good quality ingredients, and they have some interesting drinks as well. This is a good lunch spot that could be even better with a little more work. read more

Popped in and sprung a very last minute order for 23 sandwiches and sides and they were incredibly helpful to get it together promptly for us. Very kind people there and the sandwiches were yummy! Thanks! read more

Low prices and decent food! No-frills spot with quick service. Also love that it's a deli owned by an Asian family - that's quite unique where I'm from. It's also relatively convenient to park here, with plenty of open street parking (Saturday midday) and all the meters give you 15 minutes free. read more

It's fine for deli sandwiches. There's only two people working and it took quite some time for my sandwich. Sandwiches were OK and to the point but nothing special. It seems to be a very practical spot for tourists. The Reuben sandwich is good and chicken sandwich was ok. read more

Avenue Deli - Ham & Cheese - Delis Near Me - Lexington, Massachusetts

was excited to try this place based on the reviews. I could make a better sandwich at home. I got the "chicken cutlet" wrap. it was essentially a tyson chicken patty cut into cubes with kraft cheese slice & light on the veggies. way over priced for the quality. I'd rather just get subway on JJ. read more

This place is overpriced for no reason. I have been to this place twice. Their food is barely edible and they charge ridiculous price for that. When I ordered an egg salad(not sandwich, just salad), it had no herbs, no seasoning and they charged $8.75 for that. For a half sandwich, they literally just stacked 3 things together without any condiments, any sauce and charged $5 for that. When we visited the place, it was not crowded at all, so I don't see the reason for such bad food except for the fact that it is their regular mode of working. read more

great pastrami sandwich and smoothie, super friendly staff, food came quickly, inside was clean and decent seating

Great little deli with tons of options. Mostly your standard feo expectations but also a number of specials with fun names recognizing the local history. They also have a lot of smoothie options and the smoothie I had (strawberry) was very good. The size of my chicken salad sandwich was pretty small but it was good quality and a reasonable price so I left happy. read more

Nice local sandwich shop! Tons of options here so difficult to decide. I got the Caprese panini sandwich. Fresh mozzarella, tomato, basil and balsamic vinegar. Nice and toasty. Cheese is perfectly melted. Bread is super fresh. Only $7.75! Tip: beautiful park right across the street to eat in. Would recommend for anyone working in the Lexington area. read more

Had a hankering for some deli and we came across this place in the center of Lexington. Friendly staff, quick service, and the prices are far lower then I expected. The Italian is good and so is the Napoli. The Buffalo chicken was disappointing because it didn't have any Buffalo sauce and seemed to use deli meat instead of a chicken breast or something equivalent. To me the star is the Pastrami! Piled high and very delicious. I will get this again on my next visit! read more

Great sandwich options! I work nearby and normally would just visit Panera but since it's permanently closed I thought I'd try this deli a little further down the street. I got a basic caprese but it was so good! Delicious vinaigrette, a good amount of basil, and lovely soft bread. It's a small deli but they were quick and in my opinion unusually kind (repeated the order to double check it was right, a lot of "thank you's" and pleasant tone of voice). Maybe this is a weird thing to write in a review but I feel like if you run into a deli during the lunch rush you feel a little rushed yourself and this was just a really nice experience. I would like to try some of their other food in the future and see if it's as good as the sandwich I had today. Definitely won a new customer! read more

Turkey club dry and basic. Not worth it. And just to try and post this I have to write more then it's worth.

Second update: they messaged me again to remind me of the gift card and now they have blocked me from responding. I attached a photo. This is crazy! Update: thanks to the owner for reaching out. This is my response to her message. She offered 25$ gift card and said she didn't realize i was pregnant.: Just to clarify, I told you i was pregnant. I was massive and showing. I told you it was an emergency and you still said no. I'm moving into a new home and Lexington is too far. Thank you for your offer. Maybe you can buy the next person in the store a sandwich and pay it forward. This establishment is now having people harass my inbox. Is Vera a customer, neighbor or associate of yours? Tell this person to leave me alone. I've reported the account to yelp and blocked her. It's absurd that someone is trolling my reviews and t read more

Stumbled upon the Avenue Deli when a friend and I were walking my dog in downtown Lexington. We were ready for a mid-afternoon lunch an the advertisement of gluten free sandwich bread on the window front caught our attention so we decided to try a 1/2 sandwich and cup of chili each. Since we had the dog and it was a beautiful day, she went in to order while I waited outside with the dog. I expected a longer wait and before I knew it (less than 10 minutes), she walked out with our lunches in a brown bag. We found a nice stone bench not far from the deli in the shade. She ordered the Napoli and I, the Caprese with prosciutto both on the gluten free oatmeal bread. Both sandwiches were cut in half on two whole pieces of GF bread each ... so what they considered as a 1/2 sandwiches were actually whole sandwiches. Both generously filled with meat, Buffalo mozzarella (on mine) and veggies (mostly on hers). The bread was surprisingly placed on a panini griddle on both sandwiches ...which was a very nice touch. The bread was rich in flavor and not dry like dust like most GF breads. The sandwiches were definitely a 5; however, the chili fell short of expectations. We don't think it was homemade, rather purchased in bulk at a restaurant supply store. We would definitely consider stopping in again for the sandwiches but would skip the soup. They also offer smoothies which seemed like a popular item and looked pretty refreshing and tasty. Sandwiches were very fairly priced! read more

A local small business! Great food and costumer service!! I had a Grilled Chicken Caesar wrap... just enough of dressing!

Delicious sandwiches, wraps, and soup - Overall: friendly staff, gluten-free options, convenient location, and fast service I had turkey on gluten-free bread - turkey was in abundance and tasted like it was fresh sliced, all the toppings were crisp and fresh. Tons of sauce options also. Friend had thanksgiving sandwich- Huge! Very tasty, fresh stuffing and yummy cranberry sauce, she loved it! Veggie soup was very flavorful and hot with huge chunks of vegetables and seasonings. Prices were very reasonable for the sizes of the sandwiches- fresh apples and cookies a MAJOR plus for my friend and I. Will return ASAP! read more

Avenue Deli - delicious and huge turkey sandwich on yummy gluten-free bread! - Delis Near Me - Lexington, Massachusetts

Its always exciting for me to try a new deli - especially one with a good reputation. Its a small shop with no frills - sandwiches, chips, some bread and some beverages - all that a good deli needs. The small counter with stools to eat at is a great touch. Service was great - speedy and very friendly. The sandwiches are very hefty, and are very reasonably priced. I got the ' NY Double Decker' with hopes that it'd be a NJ style Sloppy Joe.. and it was pretty close. Great size, good meats and toppings.. even had rye bread. Sadly, the rye is what dinged that 5th star here. Opening the sandwich you can see impressions in the rye - not a bad thing, since yeah, you make sammiches with your hands. Its normal. But.. not for rye bread. Rye should not be squishy.. and it had all the consistency of a sponge. Major bummer.. but fortunately everything else shined here, and Avenue Deli pulls the 4 stars easily. read more

cute little store! food isn't anything special but staff is so great that i can't help but call it a 4 star.

First time. I'm vegan. Not many vegan choices, perhaps one of the salads. Then I noticed a vegetable sandwich. He asked what vegetables I wanted and I told him that I like them all. The nice man was making it on a whole wheat wrap. I asked if they had any hummus to put on , and he said yes. And then he asked if I want some avocado and I said yes. It was a yummy sandwich much better than I expected for a vegetable sandwich. And it was heavy, so he really pack a lot of food into the wrap. My brother like his sandwich a lot too. I would like to go back and get another. read more

Just happened to walk by this shop in Phil mode trying a sandwich. The menu has another classic New York style deli items plus a lot of original sandwiches. The struggle between choosing the Caprese or something a little different - A liverwurst sandwich on marble rye bread. After chatting with the owners I decided to give the liverwurst a try and boy oh boy am I glad! I know that liverwurst is not everyone's favorite but I do enjoy it once in a while (maybe it is an acquired taste?). Anyway the sandwich was awesome everything tasted completely fresh and was just right. Ditto for the iced coffee which was super fresh and tasty. I Will definitely make the effort to stop by the shop anytime I'm in the area and mood for a terrific sandwich1 read more

Located in downtown Lexington, plenty of street parking. I got the Italian with everything on it and a side of macaroni salad - meat was really fresh and delicious. I also got an iced coffee, their coffee is strong and good! Not very many options for seating so we took it to go, I'd definitely go back! read more

My company moved to Lexington Center late last year and Avenue Deli is one of my goto places for lunch at least once a week. Why, you might ask, especially since my office is right next door to Panera, which is so convenient? It's because the food is so dang good! I mean, where else can you practically any kind of deli sandwich you can think of? The selection is amazing. The meats are really tasty and every sandwich is made with a smile. My favorite is the Paul Revere, which consists of deluxe roast beef, BBQ sauce, cheddar cheese, lettuce and tomato, all on a yummy onion roll. On top of that, they even make (yes, freshly made) one of my favorite drinks, passion fruit iced tea. One time I went and they had run out of iced tea, and the owner brewed some tea right then and there instead of just saying that they were out. That's quality service right there. If you're in Lexington Center, and you're in for a nice deli sandwich, you can't go wrong by stopping in here. I know I'll be back, many times over. read more

I got the Rachel and it was very good flavor!! I do wish the sandwich had a little more meat in it. It did seem a little small. But nonetheless, very good. read more

Bought a new bike and took it for a spin. Got hungry as we approached Lexington on the bike path, but weren't dressed for a nice sit-down meal. Happened upon 1806 Ave Deli and were not disappointed. Good solid sandwiches, attentive and good customer service, and people watching window bar seating. Probably not a destination for a trip, but a definite solid stop if you are in Lexington and hungry. Would be a great stop prior to a picnic! read more

Holy deliciousness, Batman. My husband and I ate here after a bike ride and I was starving. Avenue Deli did not disappoint. I had some sort of roast beef sandwich on an onion roll. The roast beef was perfectly rare, and it came with a pickle. Not much more you can ask for, except for BBQ sauce. And yes, that was there too. If it's nice out, eat in the park across the street. Great for people watching. read more

Nice people, clean space, yummy sandwiches! Perfect place for a quick lunch. Right near the battle green so perfect for grabbing food for a picnic. Their store brand orange soda was a nice addition. read more

Sandwiches are great. They use Boar's Head meat (and tons of it). If you're in the mood for more classic-style deli sandwiches in Lexington (as opposed to Via Lago, Great Harvest, etc.), this is definitely the place to go. There's no real indoor seating to speak of (except for a hightop at the window). On nice days there are plenty of outdoor areas in Lexington Center to eat. Otherwise, you can bring the sandwich into one of the many coffee shops (Peets, RideStudio, Starbucks). read more

Pretty nice deli and a good value. Prices are a little expensive but the sandwiches are a meal and a half. I usually get the Reuben or Rachel but the spicy Italian (whose name eludes me) is also very tasty. Salads are cheap but if you get a meat topping it's going to be cold cuts. Just be forewarned. They also have a very quick turnover. You can be in-and-out at their busiest time in about 10 minutes. That's no joke when you're on lunch break. read more

I think I chose poorly. I ordered the Thankgiving Turkey Sub - Turkey, Stuffing, Cranberry Sauce, mayo, lettuce & tomato - that's everything that comes with it and I just ordered it as is. I've had this sub lots of other places and it's one of my favorites... but plain & simple - lettuce & tomato have no need to be on this sandwich... (note to self for future ordering). The stuffing was unfortunately a bit watered down (I noticed through an open door big boxes of Pepperidge Farm Instant Stuffing) and it was lacking flavor/texture. Secondly, they didn't put enough cranberry sauce on and so sometimes I was just getting bites of turkey, lettuce & tomato - meh. My husband got a hot pastrami on rye - big portion and it looked good. I also love the half-sour pickle spear you get with your sandwich - yummy yum yum. We'll go back in we're in the area and I'll try a different sandwich next time. read more

I feel terrible about the review I am about to write, but I hope the owners will read my feedback and make changes or else their business will not last. On a positive note they serve boars head meat and cheeses which is fantastic, unfortunately they place that fantastic meat between TERRIBLE bread (not deli standard). I got a "baguette" my husband had "onion kaiser roll" my dad and mom had wonder bread. Just awful! This is clearly a family type run business and the husbands job is to make the sandwich while the wife rings up the customers. A backlog quickly happened since she did not help him prepare sandwiches. Cashier needs to multiuser task, she can't just let a line form while waiting to collect money. Another major complaint was the size of the sandwich....very small amount of meat and no toppings. My dad had to stop the man mid way making his a sandwich to ask for mustard since he never asked what we wanted on the sandwich. Seating is extremely limited. Only 4 seats in the whole place we had to take my sandwiches home to eat. To sum it up, this place has good meat. Otherwise there is no redeeming quality. The people were courteous and very nice so I hope they make these necessary changes because it won't survive as is. read more
