You know it's bidness time when your sandwich meal comes with instructions. The Mac salad and…read morepotato salads that we ordered were filled so much that we were instructed to be careful while handling the bag, and the kind lady helping us said to be cautious with the sandwiches as the containers they were in were filled to the brim as well. My sandwich was so big that I ate it over lunch, dinner, and lunch again the next day! There was so much pastrami in DH's sammy that he had some leftover for breakfast as well. The pastrami was was exceptionally nuanced, and this place will def be our go to from now on.

Good news / bad news…read more The good: Ordered a Rachael (pastrami ruben) on rye to go. It was huge and very tasty. The meat was mostly small pieces (instead of slices), which was a little disappointing, but it tasted great and would highly recommend it. The bad: The rye bread soaked up sandwich juices and was very soggy. Couldn't pick it up at all and ended up eating it with a fork. Will be back, but only to eat in.

So you want to have a real city bodega experience?…read more Or said differently a neighborhood deli experience ? That has a freshly made to order -MTO experience? There is only one place to go! Eovaldi! Amazing "samitch"! Nice people and fun neighborhood vibe. The New Yorker is my go to. You can take the kid out of the City but you can't take the City out of the kid. Sure you could go to a more hyped place close by but you would miss the best place.

Sicilian Bomber continues to be my go-to sandwich every visit. Foe the first time, I actually had the gravy put on the sandwich as it's suppose to be.

This review is as much about Parker's Table as Salume Beddu. The later is located in the specialty…read morefoods store known as Parker's Table. From what I can tell Salume operates the small deli at the back of the store from about 10am-2pm each day Parker's is open. They have special meats and cheeses that are turned into fantastic sandwiches that rival the best you can get in the St Louis area. Their Italian sausage is a favorite of mine and I almost always have some in the freezer. I like all their sandwiches but over the summer they were doing a BLT that has no peer. Besides the bacon from their butcher shop they also used thick slices of heirloom tomatoes that were ripe and full of flavor. That extra touch with tomatoes you normally have to grow on your own did it for me.

I'm so glad I made it to this small sandwich shop that I've been wanting to eat out for a long time…read moreand it was worth the wait. The sandwich I ordered was called the Speck (German for bacon) and was phenomenal and the combination of cured meats, specialty mustard, a bit of preserved lemon and melted Gouda cheese was a perfect combo and was as good as many sandwiches I've ate at in parts of Spain and Italy I've traveled to. It's not a huge sandwich but the portion was just right for me to have a nice lunch along with a bag of gourmet chips. I'm sure that I'll be coming back sooner rather than later so that I can try other great sandwiches at Salume Beddu for sure. One thing about this location that wasn't obvious is where to dine inside the store and so the counter service person steered me to their back dining room that was no frills as far as ambience but that's fine by me.

The sign outside Kirkwood Deli and Convenience Store says it's the best gyro in town however I…read morecan't verify this and although it's pretty good; I think I've had better in STL. I haven't had any of their other sandwiches but I've had their gyro a few times over the years and I like it a lot. I remember the Riverfront Times article years ago saying how it's the best gyro in town as well so I had to try it back then and I think it was a little better years ago than it is today however it's still a good deal price wise with the gyro being pretty filling with a drink and bag of chips. Just know it is a takeout place only since there's nowhere to sit and eat inside and so its good for a picnic in the car or nearby park if you're hungry and can't wait until your all the way home and want to eat it right away. The service is okay, never had any problems. The deli shop itself is clean but basic.

But not the last! Legitimately tucked away from Delmar Blvd, Deli Divine can be difficult to find (if you don't know where to look and also because there isn't a shop sign). But you will be rewarded upon your discovery! Fresh foods! Hard to find specialty foods! Real sour pickles! Flavorful sandwiches! 'Tis the season for root vegetables, so we each tried the beets and didn't let them drop. Amazing and fresh and gorgeous, I have zero complaints about our beet salad and sandwich (the Herta Peltzman). Pickles, beets, red cabbage, Swiss cheese. What's not to love?! Enjoy lunch indoors or outside in the courtyard for warmer weather. Excellent service. Of course I'm going back!! See you there!

We do an annual summer road trip with our family and several of our friends and their families. I…read morealways like to find a local butcher offering bulk meat packs that we can pick up to grill for a night. I found G&W through Yelp and scheduled a pick up for a Biergarten Box (8-10 people) and a Backyard Box (4-6). Picking up was a breeze, I just showed up at the scheduled time and they had most of the meat ready. It ended up being a lot of brats, some franks, and some dried beef sticks. I will note this is a lot of sausages and no burgers, so we picked some of those up elsewhere. I also got a jar of mustard which turned out amazing. And yes, my wife and I were offered a couple beers when we walked in. Since we were driving back to our AirBNB right away, we saved them to boil the meat in. And wow, these were some excellent sausages. Super juicy and flavorful, and while I think there was some hesitation on the brats they were hits. The kids had no idea they were eating natural franks (which were gigantic) and they ate them up as well. The value was excellent too. By ordering online it knocked off 15%, so I paid around $90 to feed 5 families dinner and lunch the next day, and still took some leftover meat home. Highly recommend for anyone doing a bbq in the STL!

This was my 3rd or 4th time in, and they had what I needed to complete our wießwurst dinner we are having. Freshly baked buns,German potato salad, sauerkraut, and fine spicy German mustard. When I had questions about a couple of items, they were very helpful in determining which item would be best for what we are serving. If you like jerky, they have big meaty pieces that are favorable with just the right about of chewiness. I wish they were not a 40 min drive for me, but it is worth it.
