In need of some food after our flight, we found this deli to refuel. We were not disappointed. The flavors were great and the service was better! We got samples before we even ordered our food. A deli worth checking out. read more

Don't let the appearance of a little shop at the end of a strip of buildings fool you. This place is great. I used to go to Goodman's/Cleveland corned beef company for 40 years. Needed to try a new option as the last few meals were not up to par. Asked my phone for the best corned beef in the west side area. Siri said go to Express Deli. The family is top notch. They actually gave me a sample plate to try since I was a first timer. I was skeptical about their warming my sandwich in front of me not using a grill, but I am a realist. It was either going to be good or not. It was fantastic. They only serve thinly sliced lean corned beef, but very tasty. I have been back two more times and I live two hours away. Next time it will be the pastrami. read more

Best deli I have ever been to. If you're a first timer, they prepare a sampler platter to try a few of their different sandwiches (all of them are FANTASTIC!) Great customer service, clean interior, an absolute must try in the Cleveland area. read more

This deli is the best. The Reuben mac & cheese is life altering. Everything in the menu is fresh and delicious and prepared as ordered. If you've never been, you are missing some of the best sandwiches in Cleveland! read more

Excellent service, very helpful! Jumbo Rueben wrap 10/10! Everyone I've told has loved this place.

This deli is amazing. My wife and I were lucky enough to get a taste of their menu as part of tour, and the service and tastings we were given were to die for. There are many places you can go to get a sandwich, but this is one of those places you can go to get something made with a personal touch. 1st, they know how to season or apply the proper dressing to any of their wraps, sandwiches, or other sides. No assembly line dry, flavorless sandwiches and side dishes. 2nd, they have exceptional customer service. They will smile, talk with you, and bend over backwards to make sure you are happy with your order. This is easily one of the best places to stop in Cleveland. read more

I love this place!!!!! Staff is friendly and they have the BEST wraps in town. I go out of my way anytime I am even close to stop there for lunch. read more

Wow! Was just in for first time and amazing!!! Son and father and family so genuine and helpful on what to order! Reuben wrap is the bomb!!! We'll be back!!! read more

Wow! I rarely give 5 stars but this one was easy. They deserve it in every way. The service is equal to how great the food is. I got the Ruben wrap and the Potato Salad. Amazing! The owner came over to make sure I was satisfied. We chatted for awhile but as more people came in he knew many by name and asked about their kids. I will be back for sure. read more

I was on Yelp looking for a place to grab lunch since I was in Parma. I found this place and it had great reviews. I was curious to check this place out for myself. As soon as I walked in the staff greeted me and all were very friendly. I decided to try the reuben wrap and it was delicious! I recommend this place and they have a good selection of sandwiches. read more

A family owned business with a great atmosphere. They greet you at the door when you come in and always ask about how you're doing. We have sampled many different wrap and sandwich options on the menu. Never been disappointed with anything. Their homemade sauces are to die for. read more

Hand crafted sandwiches made to order from premium ingredients, definitely not fast food but good food. Personal service and a friendly smile, always. A wide variety to choose from, you'll never get bored. read more

Wow!! After seeing reviews on yelp I decided to stop by with my wife for lunch. Y'all were right!....so good, such a friendly and helpful family deli with great service and awesome food! I'm pretty sure we will be trying every sandwich here! My wife had the ruben sandwich and I had the New York corned beef wrap! Oh my....OUTSTANDING! read more

What a great hidden deli. Service and sandwiches are terrific. The corned beef is a real winner. The first time they insist that you have samples. What a delightful experience. The hummus is better than my homemade hummus. The soups are all homemade as is most everything. You won't be disappointed. read more

Super friendly service but the prices are getting insane. It's about 10$ for some of the hotdog sized wraps now. The food does taste good but it's not that much better than other sub places and not enough to justify double or triple the price. read more

Awsome sandwiches and other sides. And the service is great even when they have a lot of people ordering food. And the prices are great.

The customer service is great!! They treat you like family there. The pastrami and corn beef is the best I've ever had. I strongly recommend you try this place. read more

I have been here twice now and if I worked closer I would be here every day. The reuben wrap is killer, the corner beef is homemade and the sauerkraut is fantastic. I can completely understand why this is the best sandwich in Ohio. read more

Food is delicious and service is wonderful and so friendly. We had the rueben and the veggie rueben along with pasta salad. We were very impressed. read more

Everything about this place is amazeballs! The food is outstanding, and the service is makes you feel like you're at home! read more

I have lived in New York for 5 years and have never really been a fan of Reubens. Who would have known that the best deli sandwiches (and the best Reuben as a matter of fact) that I will ever have is in Ohio! I stopped here when I was coming to Cleveland for a brief visit and I must say that the food is not only delicious (they have some secret special sauce for every item), but this is a family owned deli has the friendliest owners! If they know it's your first time there, they will give you a tour and have you taste the famous items on their menu. Long story short, I don't think I will order a Reuben anywhere else... read more

The best sandwich. Meat was lean and very generously piled on fresh rye bread. Very organized for ordering and pick up. Would highly recommend a visit here. Don't wait for St. Patrick's Day. read more

With me these reviews, it usually boil down to how good the food is. But with Express Deli, it was truly everything that makes this place so great. You receive an immediate vibe expected from a family owned business, but the hospitality offered is one you'd receive from an old friend. Their sandwiches are amazing. I know that because I was offered different samples before ordering a pastrami sandwich. A very classy gesture to new customers. Everything is made fresh and in house. This place is a Cleveland staple. A definite must try for everyone. read more

Rueben wrap and potatoes salad was everything my taste buds hoped it would be. Will definitely go back when opportunity presents itself

Pierre and his family were extremely hospitable and kind, the food was fantastic, and the service was quick. Will be my regular Saturday lunch. read more

So many delicious options here, and lovely friendly staff. They have a tasting thing where they make a few little samples for you. Just go there. read more

This is a great place to come for a quick meal on the go. This is a corner store that offers beer, cigarettes, lottery, snacks and the best sandwiches in the city! For right around $7 you can have your choice of meat (pastrami-excellent, corned beef-made in house, turkey, ham, lamb and chicken gyro and so many more), your choice of bread (Italian, sub or pita wrap-all are very fresh, made locally), cheese and house made sauces (every sauce made in house is just delicious-I recommend the garlic sauce). This is a locally owned, owner operated, independent business. Pierre, the owner has been here for 14 years and recently lost a lot of business with cut backs and lay offs at the Ford Plant and GM, so I always try to patronize and eat here when in the city. Plus, with as clean as he keeps the place and as wonderful as their customer service is, why not. read more

The wraps are are so good. Best spot for lunch in the area. Employees are super friendly too. read more

I've read very good reviews about this place online and always wanted to stop in to find out for myself. This is a family owned business and everybody treated me great when I walked in. They offered me samples when I told him it was my first time being there. I got the pastrami and pepperoni sandwich and it was delicious. They also offer just about every other type of sandwich you could want. Place was very clean and I recommend to all. read more

Got recommended to try this place because I'm funny about corned beef. I like it lean and less fatty. I walked and was offered a sample tray and I loved everything on it. I ended up getting the Reuben and it was phenomenal. They put it in a pita and it was surprisingly good. Also, they really care about the customer experience here. read more

Wonderful owners. So friendly and refreshing to experience. Food was excellent. Service very personal. Don't judge this place by the area (airport/industrial) or outside. What a gem! First timers should let the owners know they have a sample plate for you! read more

Everything about this family-owned operation is top notch, from the food to the customer service. Outstanding. This is not your typical deli food! read more

Very surprised and impressed with this place! I stepped down to the deli counter and said it was my first time here. One of the chefs made me a tasting platter of three different sandwiches that was delicious! I chose the pastrami wrap (it's wrapped with a pita) and it hit the spot! Very good, artfully put together. I would recommend it as a hidden gem of lunch spots. read more

Yes! yes! like they all said! Best place! so nice! newbie sampler! delicious sandwiches! wonderful family! a blessing to meet them! Hard working excellent friendly special beautiful people. Delicious sandwiches. So good sauces and homemade kraut and home-cooked corned beef (not house brined but cooked there) The garlic sauce was very good! I had the Reuben wrap with thousand island and it was quite good. My husband had the Reuben on Italian bread (his choice) and it was not fried but was served hot with the soft bread. Excellent! Excellent way! I never thought of a Reuben not being all buttered and fried on the outside. This highlighted the flavors and was so nice and fresh tasting. My husband loved it. Line went quick. There are a couple tables if you want to sit. You probably already tried express deli but if you haven't just get over there! read more

Seriously amazing. This was my first time there and they gave me a "tour" which was actually a tour of 4 different sandwiches that they make. They were all phenomenal. I quickly changed my order of soup to the pastrami wrap. Their garlic aioli that they make in house is delicious. I want to buy a bottle of it! I have been trying to save my wrap and take a few bites of it throughout the afternoon to make it last because it is that good! I will definitely be back. read more

The first time I came here. Service was amazing. The sandwich maker at the deli offered me some samples to help me decide which to choose. I had chosen their Rueben wrap which apparently is their best seller.. The cashier was very nice too. Not too many delis and corner stores that give you that feeling of welcome. Reminds me of the good old deli/store where the employees have passion in making great sandwiches and go out of their way to make customers happy. read more

Happened upon this deli because of a traffic accident.. The best deli I've ever been to. Mike behind the counter is a rock star. It is a family run operation and the pride is on display.. Best Reuben ever and then we went back the next day to get a turkey wrap.. This place is worth rerouting for.. We will be going back soon. Oh and if its your first time there tell Mike... and you will get a special surprise.. rick& Dana read more

Our company was in town for a convention and we needed a catered lunch for six days. Express Deli was perfect, and the owners did everything they possibly could to earn our business. They were even willing to work on Sunday to feed our team. The owners are the most down to earth people you will meet. The food is absolutely excellent, and they were even willing to accommodate our team's dietary needs as well. The roast beef is to die for! A big favorite with our group. We'll be back in Cleveland in two years and we'll be sure to be ordering from Express. Thank you so much!! read more

Amazing. I've been here many times. 5 stars everytime.everything. great food and people.
