I am a big believer in supporting local businesses. Even when I am home now on visits, I still try to do so. They have a nice organic selection as well. There were other times when I would just come here for lunch because they do an incredible deli sandwich! When you're here it's like you're family! That's just so very Pittsburgh. Go give them your money, get a yummy sandwich. You won't regret it.

I'm regularly coming in for a roast beef sandwich, lettuce, tomato, mayo on rye bread and they make it just the way I ask them because I'm fussy like that. But they smile and they laugh at me when I roll my eyes and tell them that I know I'm difficult. I truly appreciate that they have high-quality fresh produce, excellent meats, pantry staples, a quality selection of crackers and cookies, Bread Works bread, and the best local ice creams. But they also have ready to bake hors d'oeuvres and fancy little tidbits for a last-minute party. I don't know what our neighborhood would do without them.

We ordered matzo ball soup, corned beef, knishes, and latkes--everything was fresh, comforting, and absolutely delicious. We also spoke with the owner, and it's clear he genuinely cares and knows his stuff. Being from NY and Philly, we know a good deli--and this one delivers. If you're in the Pittsburgh area, I highly recommend Squirrel Hill Market.

The meat was fresh, the Swiss cheese melted to perfection, and the rye bread was perfectly toasted. I did not miss the absence of toppings. The pickle was incredible!

I'm certainly going to be a repeat customer.

Love the decor in the shop. There were many prepared food options in the fridge, as well as various cuts of meat/preparations of it. We got two sandwiches, the cheesesteak and the marbella. I dont think we ended up with the correct order because we didn't end up with a cheesesteak, but did not realize until we got home. I'm positive that if I went back to the shop they would've remedied the situation, but I didn't feel it was necessary! The sandwich we did end up with was good as well, unsure which one it was though. Very fair prices, and our dog was so happy we brought him home a bone as well! Looking forward to coming back and trying everything they have to offer.

The business practices whole-animal, nose-to-tail butchery that respects the animals. Even bones and fat are used. My husband and I shopped here one time. On a Saturday afternoon, we drove around the neighborhood for 30 minutes before we found a paid parking spot. Other customers were inside the store, but the employees in the store served us promptly and politely. We saw cuts of beef, pork, lamb, and poultry as well as sandwiches, soups, spices, maple syrup, etcetera. We did not see as many unique meats as larger butcher shops sell. Prices were OK. We bought beef skewers and cooked them at home. We thought that the quality of the meat could have been better, but we liked the juiciness and flavors.

His food is made-to-order and tastes fresh. We tried the steak hoagies with fries and pound cake. No disappointment in sight. Because it's made fresh, it does take some time, so plan accordingly. The space does not have seating so plan for takeout. There is outdoor seating on the side of Webster Hall. It is very tight and very clean. If you work in Oakland, go try Kevin's Deli on your lunch break, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

I came in close to when he was closing so, he had to take out some things he had already put away to make my grilled Reuben. Instead of complaining he offered me a free chicken tender he had just made since I had to wait a little longer. On top of that he added fries with my sandwich for free since he had them made already. It was incredibly hot out so I took the food home instead of eating at one of the tables outside and the fries were still warm and crispy and the sandwich was also still warm and delicious.

I got to try their cheddar potato pierogies as well as a chocolate wafer, apricot drink, and kvas from the store part. The pierogies were great. Warm and fluffy on the inside. Filled to the brim with potato and cheese. A bit oily, though. Good amount of onion on top without being overwhelming, and a solid price for the portion. Definitely delicious. And, all the items from the store were great too. The wafer was pretty basic for the price, but still good. Great apricot drink, super refreshing. And the kvas...I missed this a lot. So good, great price honestly. All in all, definitely stop by if you are in the Strip District!

I went with Reuben The Great (I wish The Carmela had details of ingredients because it looked delicious too) The restaurant looked clean and updated when glancing in from the drive thru, but honestly the drive thru was quick and painless too. They have cute holiday bags and they put your sandwich in a structured to go container. Good thing too... because it is packed with fresh cut deli meat!! The corned beef was juicy and tender. The sandwich was put together neat too. I may just have to look up Jason's Deli more often!

I also agree with a lot of reviews that the price is steep for the amount of food you get (I got the lunch special because it included fries, which are normally a $2 add on to a $12-14 sandwich).
