    Cincy Gourmet Deli is the BEST Clifton lunch spot. The people who work there are so nice and it's got a cool bodega vibe. They've got great breakfast and lunch, with good vegetarian options and lots of ways to customize. Also, the fries are incredible and the garlic aioli that comes with them is so good. All that for a reasonable price makes this an amazing spot!

    Love Cincy Gourmet Deli! I've been multiple times and their sandwiches have never disappointed and their prices are hard to beat. I always order some variation of their cold sandwiches (ask them to add more veggies like cucumber or white onion) but I will need to try the other items on their menu sometime! My friends love their chicken salad sandwiches, reubens, and caesar salad wraps. Most recently I ordered a turkey avocado sandwich and I had half for my lunch and the other half for dinner (so sizable portions!). It's always busy but the orders come out fast. There is both indoor and some outdoor seating.

    Potato Salad

    Yummy. We both had a Reuben with a potato salad side. The order came out in good time and it was fun to watch them make it behind the counter. There is some seating inside but lots of people getting carry out, the seating and tables had trash left on them. Granted it was busy so they were probably not actively cleaning the tables but it was discouraging to sit down. I would not recommend to anyone with allergies or food restrictions, there is no precaution with cross contamination, they were using the same knife to cut every sandwich and the same surface to make every sandwich on as well. Overall nice!

    The schwarma is the best thing I've found in Cincinnati as a parent visiting my kid at MS!

    Great food all around in a great location and super friendly staff. They have halal meats but you have to ask which ones. Today, it was just chicken, so we got the shawarma fries and the melanese sandwiches, both of which hit the spot. Very reasonable prices as well!

    Nashville Hot Chicken Burger

    ABSOLUTE PEAK. Cincy Gourmet is one of my top 2 places to eat around UC. Amazing food, great prices. I have eaten so many chicken caesar wraps from here. Also, the Nashville hot chicken goes crazy. The desserts are amazing, get the double chocolate cake--it's so moist. They use ganache! Ganache. This deli is my Mecca

    For 8$ you get a delicious, filling sandwich. Philip cheesesteak is my favorite. Ask for extra seasoning on your fries.

I ordered an everything bagel, double toasted, with the vegan herb cream cheese, and it was incredible. My non-vegan husband had the cinnamon raisin bagel with strawberry cream cheese and loved it. Whether you're looking for a quick breakfast or just craving an exceptional bagel, this place is absolutely worth the stop. We'll definitely be back!

When my friend and I walked in, we were greeted by such a sweet staff who immediately welcomed us in, shared their thoughts on the menu (since we were first-timers), and suggested we leave a review (they were so lovely, so how could we not!) The entire restaurant feels like the diner Sam worked at in Cinderella Story from the early 2000s - very vintage, very retro, very 50s! It's what I imagine restaurants looking like when my grandparents went on dates when they were my age. I had gotten the tofu nugs via DoorDash, which were better IRL and the milkshake was scrumptious too! My friend got the Milkman Burger, fries, and a fruity pebbles shake. It was all great but let me tell ya...we had this meal almost two weeks ago and I'm STILL dreaming of those French fries. I have had so many iterations of fried potato before...shoestring, steak, wedges, sweet potato, those made from yuca, curly, dipped in ice cream, etc. and these are the best fries I've had in my life. If I could live off the fries, I would. They were that good. I already have plans to share this place with other friends of mine as it has officially worked its way into the rotation for me!

There is lots of seating with large bay windows with plenty of natural light. My husband and I absolutely love the food here. I involuntarily did a little happy dance after taking my first bite of shrimp and grits. I almost made the mistake of not ordering a biscuit- OMG the flaky goodness was unbelievable. We ended up ordering another so my husband could have his own! Apparently there was a miscommunication about our order and we actually ended up getting another biscuit for free on accident which vanished as quickly as the first and second! I also ordered a crème brûlée grapefruit which was a very pleasant sweet treat at the end of my meal. They even had an actual grapefruit spoon!! My husband ordered the Hash bowl which he first complemented its presentation. He noted that they were not stingy with the bacon. What he didn't notice at first was that under his eggs there was a well seasoned layer of sausage gravy. He rated it 5/5. He would definitely order it again!
