Really great food and atmosphere. I ordered what turned out to be a panini consisting of roast pork, ham, slaw and fries. Then I upgraded from homemade chips to fries - yes, more fries, for only 1 dollar more. Since my companion always orders her stuff plain, she ordered a turkey sandwich off the make your own sandwich menu. What a deal! Service was stellar. The dining area was open to the outside so we could get a flavor of the surrounding neighborhood. Cant wait to go back. read more

A great place to grab a quick bite! The sandwich selection is endless, pastas and sweets. If you want to stop in they have a great lunch selection, reasonable price range. They also have two locations which is great depending on where you are read more

Joe's Deli - Classic Reuben - Delis Near Me - Buffalo, New York

Got the fish fry..it was nice and crispy but there was a little bit too much batter and not enough fish.

Joe's Deli was a spur of the moment decision that turned into a pleasant surprise. The menu was written on large chalkboards above the traditional style deli counter. Sandwiches and wraps for all tastes preferences were displayed with a section for specials. All were offered at a reasonable price. Every order comes with a complimentary side of kettle cooked chips unless you upgrade to an alternative at an additional cost. Overall, cute neighborhood lunch spot, they do serve beer here which was a neat plus! Decor was a little dingy so it lost one star for me but if you're not into the fancy, hipster-esque vibe that sometimes presents itself now a days this place is a hot spot. read more

The sandwiches are good, but don't expect to get the extra dressing you pay for. The past 6 times I've placed an order online it's included an extra cup of honey mustard for .50$ And actually got the dressing twice. read more

Joe's is an essential Hertel and Buffalo joint, with a standard sandwich and wrap menu that's stacked with time tested classics, a weekly specials menu that is daring and magical, and easily the best soups in town. Every flavor is turned up at Joe's, and frankly they've been raising and fine tuning North Buffalo palettes for over 10 years. Can't go wrong here. read more

Sandwiches are good, but they don't always have all the ingredients. The Cuban sandwich is usually lacking in meats.

A good sandwich is the food of the gods, and Joe's Deli makes a heavenly sandwich. Everything from the bread, to the fillings and condiments is spot on. While they do serve delicious versions of the classics, like a tasty tuna salad, they have some truly creative offerings that are not to be missed! Perhaps my favorite is Joe's take on the best sandwich ever created: the bahn mi, a Vietnamese staple that is very hard to come by in Buffalo. While Joe's version is Americanized, the flavors are out of this world. If you are craving a delicious, and creative lunch...Joe's Deli is the perfect spot. read more

Joe's is the BOMB. End of story. If you need a sandwich this should be number 1 on your list. The people that work there are friendly and awesome and the menu is just as great. They make such great sandwiches and are so reasonably priced it's hard to find anything to top it! You can get any sandwich you crave and if you aren't feeling creative that day you can choose from the huge blackboard filled of them... and let's not forget the daily specials! Check out the website before you stop in for a preview as they update the specials daily! Love this place and I'm happy I live so close to it! read more

Joe's Deli is probably my favorite lunch place in Buffalo, and I think it's pretty underrated (a lot of my Buffalo friends have never even heard of it!) I was so happy when my boyfriend and I moved into an apartment that it basically right around the corner. I've been to Joe's on 4 occasions and I can say that I have never once been disappointed. Their menu is so diverse and has so many delicious sandwiches and wraps. "The Body" is a fantastic Vietnamese style sandwich. I had this one months ago, so I really don't remember what was on it. The second time I got a wrap with crispy avocado. That's right. CRISPY AVOCADO. It was literally a friend chunk of avocado, and it was SO GOOD. The third and fourth time I went back, I noticed the tiny piece of paper taped to the pillar with, what I assume, were specials. This was right before Thanksgiving so I decided to go with the Turkinator. Needless to say, the fourth time I went back, I ordered it again. It's basically like the Roast Turkey sandwich at Globe Market, but even better. It's a turkey sandwich was STUFFING, a light cranberry mayo-type sauce, and a sage cheese I believe. It's toasted and warm and gooey to perfection. The stuffing hands down is what makes the sandwich magnificent. I've heard of cranberry sauce and turkey on a sandwich, but never stuffing. This should be part of their main menu because it's just that good!!! Overall though, a fantastic little joint that deserves more business than I feel it gets. Spread the word! read more

Holy cannoli, Batman. This place perfects what you'd picture that well known tiny hidden deli in the Big Apple to be. Lucky for us though, it's right here in the Queen City! With specials ranging from Liverwurst to flank steak tacos, you're bound to please the entire crew with this choice. I love that I can walk in and feel right at home locally, but when I order, it's as if I've road tripped it throughout the US of A with their eclectic concoctions of sandwiches. All made-to-order as well as in-house, I can't wait to see what they do with their 2nd location on Elmwood. I'll bring the appetite, just bring on the brew and the bite. read more

Yum! Hertel Ave has been needing a delicious deli for some time. They are so delicious, fast and friendly. They don't deliver but when our salon is slam packed and we can leave they will usually bring it to us! We love Joe and the food. They really need to name a sandwich after us. read more

I've now been twice and both times I left thinking it was the best sandwich I ever had. Very convenient being able to order online and select when to pickup, especially on a tight lunch break. read more

Great sandwich, great prices. Probably the best sandwich shop I've been to in Buffalo...or at least a close 2nd to Marco's...

I have eaten at Joe's five times. Five different sandwiches - five winners. Quick service. Great lunch place.

I'm not a vegetarian but I love their tofu sandwich. Judging by the crowds, Joes is a popular lunch spot. I hear the hangover sandwich is amazing. No frills staff. Get a cookie if you have sweet tooth. read more

Doesn't get better than Joe's. The Cuban is my go to, but I always check the website for the specials, the turkey banh mi was incredible, the spicy chicken club was outstanding. Aside from those, the grilled chicken is classic, the hertel alley is super flavorful, and they have a bunch of your typical deli sandwiches and they're all amazing. read more

This is my favorite deli to go to! There are extremely nice people that work there with food that is always top notch. It is definitely a no frills kind of place that doesn't have a lot of room for seating, but you can get your sandwich to go. read more

Formerly Mastman's Kosher Deli, Joe's Deli has taken over the corner of Hertel and Colvin. The people there are really nice and the sandwiches are amazing. My favorite is the Reuben with Russian dressing and sauerkraut. I know what you're thinking. It's just a sandwich. What's so great about a sandwich? Let me tell you. The meat is perfectly seasoned -- not too salty but not bland in any sense of the word. It's just plain delicious. The bread is super fresh. Well, everything is super fresh. Go. You won't be disappointed. I just had the 1322 special (corned beef on rye) a couple of hours ago. I'm ready for another. read more

Loveeee Joe's Deli! The lunch box has to be my favorite and every time I walk in there I'm always greeted with a smile and that's rare now a days. The sandwiches there have some pretty cool names and are always delicious. read more

This is a great deli to go to for a great sandwich. I have been here twice and times I had a great sandwich. The "Frank Stallone" and "1322 Original" are very good. The Stallone is a steak sandwich with green peppers, onions and mozzarella. The 1322 you can get with corn beef or pastrami. Of course I got it with corn beef piled high, on rye with mustard. So goooooood. Only wish they would put more chips with the sandwiches, then it would be perfect. Would recommend this place read more

Great variety of sandwiches, wraps and soups. I tried something called the hangover which had spicy sausage and was topped with a fried egg. That was enough to ensure I'll be back. read more

LOVE the Hertel Alley sandwich - they put the fries, coleslaw, and meat all on the sandwich. And their fires are DELICIOUS. They always have unique soups too (such as Reuben soup served with rye bread for dipping). I lived nearby for 3 years and can't believe it took me so long to try. read more

My favorite, favorite deli ever! Nothing compares. Their ciabatta bread is my go to on any sandwich. They are consistent, fresh, fast & a good value. I usually order ahead and it's ready in about 10 mins. read more

I've been a couple of times now and more impressed than ever. Sandwiches are always delicious, ready within ten minutes for takeout every single time. Relatively inexpensive too. Staff is courteous and quick in person and on the phone. Customer for life! read more

Great deli great prices delicious sandwiches friendly staff and it's bam right here in the heart of Hertel. Favorite wich has to be the Hertel ally by far. Nom! read more

I HATE when I order the wrong thing in a restaurant! I figure I get only 3 meals a day... 21 meals a week. I hate to waste one of them on something that just wasn't what I wanted! I had lunch at "Joe's" today after avoiding it for years because it just was not "Mastman's" and I totally loved that place. I'm a kosher deli kinda gal. The smells, the meats, the pickles, even the mustard. But, alas..... even I have to move on with the times once in a while (plus I had an "Entertainment" coupon and I like using coupons almost as much as I like kosher delis). The menu is QUITE extensive. Hot and cold sandwiches, wraps, salads, and even homemade soups. I didn't want to even risk trying the corned beef (I have to draw the line in the sand when it comes to loyalty somewhere) so I went with a turkey sandwich on marble rye with Russian dressing, Swiss cheese, and cold slaw. Sounds good, huh? Now here's where the problem came in. I was imagining a COLD sandwich. Maybe I'm a crazy person, but to me that would have been a perfect COLD SANDWICH. Heck, I've made those for myself and they were COLD. But this sandwich was HOT. It was grilled. I guess in the same style as a Reuben. It tasted okay, but it wasn't what I imagined or even what I wanted, so I was disappointed. Still in all fairness I have to say that it was HUGE, the turkey was excellent, the toppings were nice and fresh, and it was accompanied by potato chips and a nice, big (although definitely NOT kosher) pickle. The chocolate chip cookie I had afterward (to console myself) was also HUGE. It had the perfect chip to cookie ratio and a great buttery taste. That cookie was EXACTLY what I wanted! read more

I love dropping into Joe's before my night classes. They have the best home made sandwiches and their homemade soup is amazing!! You can really tell it's homemade and fresh. Their variety keeps me coming back because I know they'll always have something I want. Cheap eats, but yum eats!! read more

Hands down delicious food and generous portions! So many choices and you will not be disappointed! I always go to the one on Hertel and the staff is very helpful and friendly. The cutler and the body are two of my favorites. read more

This was so delicious! I got the chicken cutlet sandwich with chips! I'll be back for more for sure!!

Good deli to try if you want something a step up from the regular sandwich shop and want a non chain like Panera. They have a variety of speciality sandwiches and you can always create your own as well. read more

Disorganized. The woman running the cash register is more interested in flirting with men who come in than taking care of customers. She was taking better care of all the older gentleman, and was very rude to us. We Came for lunch, and got sent to the back of the line even though we were clearly there before anyone else. It was embarrassing and I did not even order lunch because the woman was so rude. Food is so good here but the ladies that run the deli really ruined it for me. I will not be back nor recommend this place to anyone. There are places with better service with cheaper food-- go there and stay away from this location. read more

Great food and service! I work nearby and we get lunch often! Many homemade specials.... the soups are my favorite! I highly recommend Joe's! read more

I ordered the Muffaletta hoping that it would be something similar to Central Grocery in New Orleans. While all of the flavors were there, the sandwich was woefully lacking in content - skimpy I would say, especially for the price. You are probably better off for value elsewhere, Marco's comes to mind and definitely DiBella's. read more

Extremely well done! I ordered the Cutlet speciality sandwich and it was fantastic. Everything was made to my liking and tasted great. The size was a tad smaller than I expected, but it filled me up and was well worth it. I hope more and more people try this place out. My order was prepared very fast and was ready waiting for me when I walked in to pick it up. The inside is quaint and very comfortable. It's nice that they have homemade salads and other items on display along with their main menu items. The prices are really good, as well. Highly reccommend and plan on returning many more times. read more

I really do enjoy Joe's Deli...great sandwiches, freshly made soups, pretty reasonable prices. But yesterday, I got takeout, and while my cutlet sandwich was delicious as always (my favorite sandwich on the menu), I was sorely disappointed when I opened up the container to find a measly bag of Lay's chips on the side, instead of the homemade delicious chips that they usually serve. How come when you get take out, you don't get the chips that are served if you dine-in? Seems like they should let you know that, because I would certainly have made the request for the homemade chips! read more

Fantastic sandwiches, friendly staff and great prices. Comes with a selection of vegetarian selections as well as a cornucopia of toppings to make your own wraps and sandwiches. 10/10, will dine again! read more

The Cuban sandwich here was one of the best I've ever had. Definitely not a fancy joint but darn good food.

I've been here a few times within the past year, and have never left disappointed. I feel like the sandwiches are the perfect size, and don't leave you hungry (although I want to order 3 sandwiches every time I visit) I can tell they use premium ingredients but are priced very reasonably for what you get. I give this 4 stars and not 5 because I feel a certain deli down the street *cough*Marco's*cough* edges these guys out. I will be back again and again since it is walking distance from my apartment. read more

I'd like to think that over the years I've made my way through the menu, but unfortunately I'm a creature of habit and get the same few items. I love the turkey club and the beef on weck that the jus just drips down your wrists as your eat it. I have yet you try the soups, but I hear nothing but good things. I have tried some of their sides such as the potato salad recently and I thought the potatoes could have been cut smaller and seasoned better. Other than that, this place is the cats pajamas read more
