Everything I had here was amazing but my fav was the egg sandwich with bacon and a side of hash browns. I loved that this place is so communal and a safe place for everyone!

Ordering was quick, the cashier was friendly, and the deli has a comfortable atmosphere. We waited about 5-10 minutes for our sandwiches. I ordered the egg and cheese with a hash brown, and I really enjoyed it. I'd definitely order it again. I also tried the dark chocolate sea salt cookie, which was delicious. The space had more seating than I expected, which was a nice surprise. However, it does get pretty cramped once it fills, which happens fast. If we visit again, we'd probably take our food to go. I also appreciated the free street parking on weekends. Overall, a great experience, and I can see why there's always a line!

Tables are small - really for two ppl and 3 max. But you can put some together if needed. Lots of to go orders on a Friday night. You order at the cashier, and they call your number when they take your order out. We got the King Rice Bowl, Chicken Shawarma, Gyro Cheese Fries and Gyro Plate. Portions are huge! The rice entrees are easily for 3 people. The wraps at least 2 hungry people. Orders take 15-20 minutes to prepare which they tell you up front. We got the Banana Pudding tres leches & Biscoff-Oreo tres leches to go. The base tres leches cake & cream frosting is really good. The banana pudding was ok but doesn't use real bananas. The strawberry one would probably be really good. We will be back!

It seems very, very likely that you will enjoy what you order here. Based on other Yelp reviews I…read morewas persuaded to get the Mac & Cheese Chicken Shawarma Wrap. The bad news is that it was too much filling for me to wrangle without rendering me unpresentable, but the good news is that it tasted GREAT. Super flavorful! Would definitely recommend. Came with fries and a drink for a very reasonable price, and those fries were delicious also; super crispy and flavorful with no need for dip. Lots of napkins needed for that wrap though. Looking around at what other people were eating has me convinced that they have a lot of good food. I saw someone eating one of the rice dishes that looked amazing, and the employee was excited to tell me all the other specialties that they are very proud of. They source a lot of their ingredients from Egypt, and they credit themselves with the creation of the Dubai Chocolate Milkshake which I regret not trying this time. You should come hungry because the portion sizes are ample and you'll want to consume them in their entirety.

I also really enjoyed the Ukrainian meatball with butter noodles and tomato cream sauce. Something about that combo is dreamy! The meatball is tender and the sauce is just the perfect balance of creamy and tomato-y. The restaurant side has a cafeteria-style setup. There's also a deli with so many meats, bread, snacks, and condiments. Service was fantastic and everyone was friendly. There's a small parking lot for use while shopping there but it can definitely fill up.

As always, I got the meatball with the tomato cream sauce; that sauce is the best!!!! We also got the pierogis but they weren't as good as usual, I think they were over fried and dry, and just didn't taste like I remember. Overall, I love this spot and the Eastern European comfort food they serve.

Been stopping by Nelson's for years! Need the perfect lunch...look no further!…read more Street parking available nearby! This is a no frills, but well-oiled machine of a deli! The line is usually out the door during the lunch rush, but don't worry...they'll get you through quick!

Choose your line, order it up as is or custom, and grab your soda/chips to make it a meal and you are set! On my latest visit, I had the Old Fashioned, which was perfect! Made a few swaps including a french roll, no tomatoes, add pickles! Perfect lunch size, great value, and quality ingredients! There's a reason people will wait in line for this spot! I can't recommend it enough!

It's been a few years since my last review of Crossroads Deli, but my rating remains high. Their…read morematzo ball soup is one of the best versions available in the Twin Cities. Today I tried their Roast Beef on Weck, which is carved roast beef on a type of roll called a Weck (a Kaiser-style roll topped with coarse salt and caraway seeds.). The restaurant was busy, and this is not a trendy place! I'd be surprised if there was anyone in the restaurant who was not of Medicare age (which also describes me; I'm not being ageist, just truthful). This is something that is available for lunch, during the week (not on weekends). Previously, I wanted to order this before. It was at the beginning of the lunch hour, so unfortunately the end pieces were cooked well-done. I asked if they would cut from the center, which is much more rare, but they wouldn't do that. This time, we came later and I could see that the roast beef was gloriously rare, which is what I like. The sandwich was quite enjoyable because it was juicy and flavorful. It comes with a side of cole slaw which is vinegar based (which I liked, but isn't traditional in the Midwest). It's difficult to find good, rare roast been in the Twin Cities, so this was another good find. My wife had the matzo ball soup, which remains high quality. The beef on weck sandwich (with coleslaw) was nearly $20, which is a bit on the expensive side. The service is spotty. It depends upon who is your waitstaff person (I knew it would be slow based on our previous experience with this person).

I have been coming to Crossroads Deli for over 25 years. September 2024, the brothers ( Scott and…read moreStu) sold the business to a corporation which owns approximately 5-6 other restaurants. I immediately started to worry. Unfortunately my worries have slowly " come true" ...and with an extremely upset heart, Crossroads has changed. Scott and Stu had dedication and sheer love of cooking and baking with the BEST of ingredients and exquisite rare perfect use of spices. Their flavors in everything they touched were some of the VERY BEST I have experienced nationally and in my home state of NY where my father taught Biochemistry in the Bronx at Einstein Med School (1955-1980) and where my intense passion for Delicatessen cuisine originated. Coming almost daily to Crossroads truly made my day! I adored EVERYTHING they created. Even shipped a large lemon coconut cake to mom's beloved 90 year old boss at Scarsdale Medical Center 8 years ago! Today: Their rye bread with caraway seeds was identical to Grossinger's. Now almost zero flavor. The broasted chicken if served hot fresh out of the cooker is still excellent. Some of the original spices gone. The lemon coconut cake has zero real lemon flavor just deep yellow coloring, Their pastrami and corned beef also lost 1/3 to 1/2 of their original flavor plus the size of the sandwiches 1/3-1/2 the original size. The new main dishes are almost tasteless. Their original recipes for matzo ball soup, etc are still good - - vary 8-10 rating. They no longer use as much/ perhaps any butter in their coffee cake " breads" which used to be a 10. Many cookies and tiny pastries in the same display case are still good. Compared to many other restaurants today they are now just " an ok". Gone are the days when Crossroads Deli was " TRULY SPECTACULAR "......
