    Just half of the footlong bc I polished off the other so quickly.
    Katherine B.

    The chocolate chip cookie and footling are a solid lunch choice. I love all the veggies (pickle and sauerkraut) on the dog. Love the low key atmosphere and it was ready quickly. It's also nice that there's a help yourself beverage station and you can grab a tea or cup of coffee while you wait.

    Open faced bagel with lox & red onion

    I know. I'm late getting here considering there's bagels involved. Had brunch with a friend on a recent Sunday. I ordered a pumpernickel bagel with onion cream cheese, lox, and red onion. I thought the lox was good but sparse. The cream cheese was plain (when I ordered onion) and too thin and the bagel was potentially freezer burnt. My brunch date ordered a bagel with vegan cream cheese. The employees and the vibe in here was surly. Whoever designed the space and curated what's in here gets it and did a phenomenal job. I'll go back if someone makes me otherwise I'll reserve this kind of food for when I'm traveling somewhere that does it right.

    My overcooked underwhelming Pastrami  Reuben.

    I had high hopes for this deli. Having lived with the great Jewish delis in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and the San Francisco Bay Area, deli food had always been my favorite. But Deli Devine was disappointing. Service was friendly, if a touch slow, given the almost-empty store. They seem to be aiming for takeaway, rather than dine-in service, having only four small booths and three two person tables. My meal was delivered on butcher paper on a plastic tray, rather than a plate. None of this would have mattered had the food been great ... which it was not. There's an old deli joke about a customer complaining that "the food was terrible" and "the portions were too small". But my feelings are along that line. The pastrami in my Pastrami Reuben (aka Rachel sandwich) was under-seasoned, bland, as well as dry because it was too lean. It also was probably overcooked (see photo). That said, the amount of pastrami in the sandwich was simply too small - it needn't be a "mile high" sandwich, but it was simply underwhelming, and did not stand up to the sauerkraut; the balance was off. I was overjoyed to see that they had half-sour pickles, my favorites - but the pickle was terrible, too sour to even eat, with a slightly metallic hint. (The regular pickle was adequate.) No knishes, no deli fries, just bags of chips. A full selection of Dr Browns sodas (and others) was fine. They had an array of other deli foods, which I didn't sample. My first time at any particular deli, my baseline is set by a pastrami sandwich ... and Deli Delight didn't make the mark. Overall, the food was at best NYC bodega quality - passable if you're in a rush for food to go ... but not deli-worthy. I really can't recommend it based on my lunch today. I had hoped it would be great. St Louis still needs a great Jewish style deli.

    This is my first time going to Deli Divine. I purchased a Surprise Bag through Too Good to Go. My bag contained Isreali bruschetta charred tomatoes, beef sticks and chocolate cake. The restaurant was clean, welcoming and full of goodies. The staff were friendly and told me the best way to use the charred tomatoes. The chocolate cake was divine. My son enjoyed the beef sticks. I'll go back again to try a sandwich and more dessert.

    I love coming here! The bagels are great. Generous portion of lox. The staff are so welcoming and helpful! Looking forward to coming back!

    I will say I was a little nervous to try here from some of the reviews I read, but it really surprised me! The service was speedy and friendly. I was very satisfied with the wedge salad and corned beef sandwich. I don't typically get corned beef but it was delicious. It has the feel of a small deli so it's very cute, just in an odd location. Overall good experience!

    The matzoh ball soup is excellent. Everything is very fresh and delicious. I really love this place. The wraps are the best.

    This is a sweet Jewish deli I would have never found if a friend hadn't told me about it! She said they had a little of everything, and that it was in a super cool neighborhood, the CWE. The parking lot is not big, but it has plenty of handicapped parking right in front, and the deli is accessible with no steps. There are tables outside to enjoy your food, and inside there are booths. You can order at the counter right as you come in, or you can wander to the back to check out the little grocery area. I had fun looking at the books available, and the pictures on the walls. There are lots of random cans and jars of condiments available. I found a can of sun dried tomatoes in oil, jars of Capers, pickles, and fig spread with balsamic vinegar. It all sounded amazing! As for the food - i got some dilly tuna salad, some sweet rolls, and a jar of key lime pie. The people behind the counter said that they are known for their bagels with lox, tomatoes, and dilly cream cheese. I will be back to try that soon! I'm so glad I came to check it out, it is a cute and family friendly place!

    One of my coworkers recommend checking out Deli Divine for lunch one day. The Deli is a bit of a throwback restaurant that is the brainchild of Ben Poremba's Bengelina Hospitality Group (e.g. Elaia and Olio). The same care that they put into their other restaurants is on display here. The space is split between a small market in the back and a deli up front. The Deli is along the lines of a NYC Jewish Deli and features a nice selection of bagels and lunch meat. I got a hot pastrami sandwich which was fantastic. The rest of our group got a mixture of sandwiches and bagels with spreads. The portions were very good and I really enjoyed the meal. We got a selection of baked goods for desert which I also have zero complaints about. Overall the quality of the food was outstanding and it was clear this restaurant was a labor of love. One thing to note, we were a bit lost when trying to find the restaurant. It is hard to see from Delmar. It is tucked into the The Residences at Delmar DivINe complex. At first I thought the building was a retirement community, but it looks to just be some recently renovated apartments. So just make sure you plan ahead and don't miss the turn off into the parking lot.

    I'm not sure how I haven't reviewed Deli Divine, but I've been a few times for bagels and corned beef, depending on the time of day, and Deli Divine has never disappointed. If you can't find parking in the tiny lot, there's street parking around the back. I have never found lines to be a problem in the late morning. And, hey, the prices may be a bit high, but it's cheaper than flying to NYC. I have to go back sometime to buy some half-off bagels!

    Walking into Deli Devine is like stepping back into a traditional NYC Jewish Deli. There's even a market in the back to get your favorite treats (including goodies from AO&Co) The line usually moves quickly.. but the parking can be a bit of a pain during peak times. The pastrami, knish, Matzoh Ball Soup, and bagels are all incredible! Be sure to get a noodle kugel for dessert!

    The universe is back in order... my buddy Ace has now been to over 1/2 of Ben Poremba's restaurants! 4th Stop - Deli Divine This is an adorable Jewish deli and market! The menu is extensive. It took us about 20 minutes to plan lunch. It's soooo #stlouispescatarianapproved @stlouispescatarians on instagram! Must-haves.... Salmon Pastrami Sandwich Potato Salad Famous Egg Salad Shellroni Salad Smoked Fish Chowder Tomato Salad Noodle Kugel Everything was excellent! Loved the flavor of the salmon pastrami!

    Food: 3 Stars Service: 4 Stars A little ways from the main hustle bustle in U. City, this little deli and provisions store is worth checking out at least once. Just beware of the tiny parking lot- there's a good chance you'll need to park along the side of the road. We didn't dine in, but opted to purchase a handful of good from the deli and then wandered towards the back where we spent way too much time and money on various provisions. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful! We had a great time chatting up a storm and learning where everything came from. Definitely get yourself some marcona almonds. They have several flavors and we walked away buying scoops of everything. Our favorites were the salted herb and citrus ginger. You also have to check out their huge cakes of halva. Sample the various flavors and be sure to take home some. I have yet to find halva as fresh as this anywhere in St. Louis. Underwhelming were their baked goods (knish, bialys, bagel), potato salad and chicken salad.

It was great…read more I read in my preview that the line to the counter is always there...but it moves quickly...and it is and does. I had to visit Blues City as I heard they have great Po Boys...and they do. I am used to having oysters or shrimp on a Po Boy. Not here. They are basically served with many versions of meat. I had the Benton Park Po Boy and it was incredible. The sandwich has ham, roast beef, turkey, provel, and is dressed with lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, pepperoncini, sweet red pepper sauce on french bread. My wife, being vegetarian had the Panino Fresco. It included mozzarella, provolone, dressed with homemade olive salad, tomato, onion & Italian vinegar oil on an Italian roll. This was the first time in 26 years that she finished the entire sandwich. I had a bite of hers, and it is easy to see why she she finished it. So good. I even bought a memorable t-shirt as I loved Blues City Deli. The female counter person was so friendly. She even wrote down three other restaurants to try while we were visiting St Louis. Blues City Deli is a can't miss place and if we are back in St. Louis...we will be back.

    Great sandwiches, quick line and service. Sandwich was big enough to save other half for later…read more Perfect place to grab a bite before the brewery tour. Indoor and outdoor seating. We ate in our car, no spots available. Benton Park is up and coming.

Since this place is such a staple, we figured we had to give it a try. The place was absolutely packed, which clearly shows it's a local favorite. Even with how busy they were, our pickup order was ready on time -- actually before the scheduled pickup since I arrived about five minutes early. The atmosphere definitely had that classic local sandwich shack vibe and seemed like it would make a great casual lunch spot for almost any occasion. Unfortunately, the food itself just didn't live up to the reputation for us. We ordered the hot salami sandwiches, which they're known for, but they were extremely greasy and the only flavors that really stood out were mustard and grease. We expected a lot more flavor and balance considering it's their specialty item. We also placed a large luncheon order of 10 sandwiches. Everyone was satisfied overall and the food was decent enough, but nothing really stood out or made us excited to come back. We personally prefer Adriana's for both flavor and overall quality. One of the biggest disappointments was that none of the sandwiches had cheese on them, even though we paid an extra $2 per sandwich for the garlic cheese bread upgrade. That was frustrating considering the additional charge. Honestly, I'm guessing we may have just caught them on an off day because it's obvious this spot has a loyal following. We still appreciate supporting local STL businesses and can understand why so many people love it -- it just wasn't quite the experience we were expecting.

One Saturday I took my kids to Kirkwood park and decided to stop in at Vitale's on the way home. I'm so glad that I did! The shop isn't anything fancy, there is a counter inside and then a handful of tables outside. It is primarily a to go joint which is pretty standard for delis. It gives off the vibe that you should just stroll up from the neighborhood and grab something to eat, chat for a while with other locals, and then head home. It has a nice, no frills vibe that I really enjoyed. The sandwiches are pretty typical for an Italian Deli with most of them featuring variations of lunchmeat. I'm always a sucker for meatball sandwiches though so that is what I got with a side of chips. It was outstanding. The meatballs were GIANT and they were the right texture. It was large enough that I had to split it across two meals. The owner was really nice when I was inside and talked to both of my kids. My kids were so well behaved they convinced me to buy them a cannoli on the way out the door. Over this shop fills its niche well, the shop was clean, the staff was friendly, and the food was good. I'll be stopping back in again in the near future.
