The staff are always on their toes, the food is stellar (I've probably eaten about thirty pounds of pastrami from here, and a dozen loaves of their rye), baked treats a delight, and the environment is just right. Love the knee-height bar, the open flat-top area, and the booths. Plenty of parking. I've moved five times over the years but I'm from this area. This has been and always will be a go-to for me. read more

Writing this review so I can remember this one in the future. Super classic Jewish deli fare which is hard to come by for a New Yorker on the road. The rye on the pastrami was the best I ever had. Food was salty and prepared with love. Shoutout to the ladies behind the register who were SO KIND and fun and funny. read more

Just got back from there with 3 buddy's there were not a lot of people eating, we waited over 45 minutes for our food the waitress was not concerned corned beef was not that great will never go back. read more

This is such a great Jewish deli, a treasure in the middle of Ohio! It is a little funky, but that's part of the charm. Everyone was so nice and the food was amazing. The matzoh balls with fluffy and yummy and don't even get me started on the corn beef. Shaved to perfection! read more

I tried this place for the first time a few weeks ago and it didn't disappoint. The corned beef sandwich on rye with a side of potato salad is the best in the area. read more

"Corned beef" - Jack Kravitz We stopped in here for a Sunday early breakfast because of the good Yelp reviews. We are on a summer road trip during our move from Boston to Vancouver, and needed some good eats. We were not disappointed. We got a chance to talk with Jack himself, who told us about his own Pacific Northwest connections: a daughter living in Seattle, and a "gay Buddhist formerly Jewish monk cousin" living in Vancouver. Pretty awesome. Jack served us up some spectacular potato hash with peppahs and onions, as we'll as a delish Everything bagel with turkey pastrami. Both were out of this world. We left satisfied and full. We'll likely never be back in Youngstown, but would definitely recommend Kravitz's for hungry travelers looking for real food. read more

I've been to Kravitz many times over the years. Lunch time used to be difficult because the wait was too long if you had to return to work. The staff wasn't friendly then. Today I saw a new attitude and faster service. Friendly staff and much less wait time even though it was very busy. The food has always been very good and that hasn't changed. So I can definitely recommend going there! Was also glad to see they have blueberry bagels since DD no longer makes them. Good to know for my next bagel run. read more

So, to be fare I am not comparing this place to other local places. I am not from the area so this may be Ritz Carlton of Deli' around here. But.... First, I like the inside. it is very humble, but warm. The staff is okay. Not very engaging but they did not slap me, so that is always a good thing. Took our order and brought our food, nothing more, nothing less. Their Bagels are fantastic, but I am not sure if they make them themselves or not. Okay, okay...on to business. We went for the corned beef. I was thinking about the hash but asked if were more meat or potato. Very dryly she responded, potato. So off to the hash omelet. I have had these at many places. So I am expecting a folded omelet filled with corned beef (the meat) and some cheese. I get a round, thin scrambled egg with some corned beef sprinkled in. It was a horrible experience and that dish should be removed from the menu. It insulted omelets and corned beef all over America. I am pretty sure I ever heard cows and Chickens in Canada say, 'What the hell is that?" So, bottom line. Want a bagel, go for it. What a really Deli meal, ... how far is the next town?? read more

Well... I brought my son here because I was in the mood for a corned beef sandwich and I see their ads everywhere. I love a good corned beef but they are hard to find. Let me say that Kravitz knows how to make a sandwich!! I ordered "the northside" which is a corned beef on rye, with swiss and slaw (of course I got the extra large version). Wow! The sandwich was huge (not as big as their ads, but huge none the less). It was loaded with homemade, thin sliced corned beef just the way I like it. My son ordered the Deb's turkey. He couldn't finish so I helped myself to the rest of his. It was also very tasty. I will definitely be back. I guess my only complaint is that the sandwiches are pricey. Mine was almost $10. But other things on the menu were cheaper. read more

Not bad. But come on guys a Jewish Deli that only serves Matzo Ball soup on Thursdays! Never heard of such a thing.

Our first time, and certainly not our last. Matzo Ball soup was delicious. Corned beef on Rye was even better. Gyro, perfection. I was made to feel very welcome as soon as I walked in, I was sent home with fresh delicious pastries. I don't know how it took us this long, but if you haven't been....you're missing out! read more

Food, pastries are excellent! So glad we came upon this gem while passing through. Hope to get back during another trip. Staff is very friendly and we even met the owner, Jack, who was happy to chat to us road weary travelers. read more

Kravitz Delicatessen - Stopped by Kravitz while passing through. Couldn't be happier finding this gem. Just great deli ambiance, excellent food and friendly staff. - Delis Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

Corned beef is dirt cheap, yet they'll charge $15 for a half pound corned beef sandwich (free bag of chips!)

I don't understand the people who love this place. I have never had anything here good enough to mention. My husband and mother in law like it so I have had to have repeat visits. It's bland, boring and over priced. The only thing I've ever liked here was the cream cheese :( read more

Delicious sandwiches and friendly staff. Definitely stop here for better food than subway or fast food. They make their own meats and salads. read more

Kravitz Delicatessen - Kids got hats from the owners. - Delis Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

On our cross country road trip this deli was a delightful stop. I had the pick two option (soup and a mini sandwich) of clam chowder and a mini pastrami (I added pepper jack and hot peppers), both were delicious. I also had a Bloody Mary which was nice and spicy. The women behind the counter were kind and attentive and the owner himself, Jack Kravitz, sat and chatted with us for a while. He was affable and hospitable. Even the regulars were nice! Oh and there was a lovely selection of local craft beers, for those interested. 10/10 would munch again! read more

Glad I followed my yelping nose to this true kosher location. The jack is back was big and delicious, the bread was amazing - kaiser roll with caraway seeds and sea salt. The pick two special - half tuna sandwich on toasted rye (tuna, dressing, minced celery, dill and eggs) with red onions and tomato and a mushroom barley soup, the soup here has made it to my top 5 shroom/barley list, it was perfect, the sandwich was good too. Took a gyro & tuna sandwich to go since I'm unsure when the next time I'll be in Ohio. Also took some bakery goods to go - the walnut and maple and peanut butter cookies were amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The staff was friendly, the deli was empty, we were the only 2 people there however as soon as we left about 15 people arrived. Totally stop by and give this place a taste. read more

This place is typical youngstown ethnic cuisine! It doesn't look like much but the food is sooooooo goood!!!!! Whenever you are in town it's a definite stop that has to be made for breakfast or lunch! read more

This is one of those places you will really regret leaving behind when you move out of the area. People have been eating their bagels at home and in the restaurant for generations... quite literally. You are doing yourself a disservice if you don't drop in at least once for the experience. This is what a deli is supposed to be. It's counters and it's cases of meats and baked goods, specialty goods and a bunch of fresh bagels. Still run by the original Kravitz family. We can't find places like this hardly anywhere, certainly not small cities, so go in, have a corned beef on rye, or a bowl of chicken soup. Yes it's a Jewish deli but they have great Italian wedding soup. Prices are great for what you get. But it's the taste that makes this a special place. read more

Service excellent and friendly. Sandwiches, soup, and baked goods outstanding. Great meal every time. Best Reubens ever!

Your food is good. I love your sandwich and chips. Good service there. Awesome location. U rock my world. Happy Labor Day! Have a great day! Nisha read more

We came to Kravitz by chance two years ago while meeting family in town (just happened to be where we met in the middle). Fast forward two years. Well, the past experience stuck with us so much that during this trip, going back to Kravitz was pretty much our main event. We spent hours chatting and eating. And I can say that, again, they did not disappoint! Always courteous and friendly, the staff were all helpful and efficient. They never hurried us or made us feel unwelcome. The good was amazing...just as we remembered. Can't speak more highly about this place! Highly recommended! read more

One of the best Delicatessens you will ever visit. The sweet and sour cabbage soup on Mondays and the chicken paprikash soup on Wednesdays are off-the-charts! read more

Since relocating to the area a year ago I'd been hoping to stumble across a place like this. Doesn't disappoint. Great food and great people. Breakfast was terrific. The corned beef hash was served bowl-style. Not the typical chopped up, mushy variety. Kravitz layers meat over potatoes for a different take. A little light on seasoning but great none-the-less. The pastry and baked goods are conveniently next to the register so it was impossible to pass up a raisin and a prune tidbit. If they made egg bagels, they would have all my favorites. I will be back. read more

Tip: For all of my non pork eaters this is a fantastic place to eat without worrying...Great breakfast! This is my go to spot when I want a great omelette. My favorite is the Jenny (fried pastrami, hot peppers & hot pepper cheese). And it's under $10! They also have great sandwiches and their corned beef is the best in the Valley. Hopefully they put a bike rack up soon read more

Kravitz Delicatessen - Breakfast on bike at Kravitz Deli - Delis Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

The next time you have a craving for a corned beef sandwich, may I suggest Kravitz deli on Belmont ave. This quaint little deli/restaurant is a throwback from a more simpler time. It has a charming atmosphere, and the food is just as good today, as it was back in the day. You can also enjoy an adult beverage with the many choices that are on the menu. This place is a "must stop in " the next time you are in the Liberty area. read more

Super friendly service and terrific sandwiches. Had the make your own grilled cheese and Reuben. Since it was our first time, the awesome waitress gave us each a kniffle as a "thank you" and welcome to Youngstown gift. read more

Marshall was courteous, informative and polite. Something we have seen often from the hard-working people in Youngstown. The pastrami on rye was fantastic! Would recommend the Kravitz deli to anyone traveling through Youngstown! read more

OMG - you must come here! Cannot say enough about how great the food is! Had the breakfast special bagel sandwich and pastris with coffee to go- absolutely wonderful!! read more

I have a few notes here. 1. There isn't much competition in the Youngstown-Warren area, unfortunately. 2. It's a bit pricey, but considering the value/quantity you get, it's a great deal. All of it. 3. Very nice people. The only "complaint" I would have is that I live in Warren, and Kravitz is half an hour away. I give it 5 stars because I find the food legitimately good and the people legitimately nice and courteous. I'd give it 4, but I can't blame Kravitz for being the only deli around. The only one I can compare it to is "Jake's" in downtown Cleveland, right by Tower City, which is-in my opinion- high praise. I see people complain about the meats (specifically the corned beef) being "salty", but what do you expect from cured meats? Are you serious? (Also, that's not sodium, that's delicious goodness invading your soul) They've never advertised as being the healthiest option out there, although they do offer healthy options on the menu. Needless to say, if there was a Kravitz in Warren, I'd have gout by the time I was 30. Their food is delicious. Only wish I could be there more often. Their cheesy potato soup is delicious. The Reubens are delicious. Even something as simple as a hot dog is delicious. The environment reaches out to the middle class area very well. They also cater! read more

Stopped here for lunch. I was in a hurry, wait staff were very understanding and got the food out very quickly. I got the regular reuben sandwich. Very delicious with reasonable prices. Definitely recommend this place. read more

I love this place for its' Reuben sandwich. I come here when I want to treat myself as it is pretty pricey. The food is delicious and their wedding soup is great. Their desserts are excellent. I also use them when I want to cater an event for my job. They are very accommodating and willing to work within your budget. read more

Best roast beef sandwiches in town hands down! If you're wondering if you should visit this deli, the answer is yes! Very quaint vintage atmosphere, conference room in the back comfortable place to have meetings. read more

Service was prompt. Food was ok, but not great. Ordered and paid for double meat - portion was the same as the single my co-worked ordered. Average sandwich at best. Prices are high for what you get...they don't even put chicken in their chicken soup! I thought maybe I was just unlucky but when I asked they stated, "We do not put chicken in our chicken soup." read more

The food is good, but the prices suck. They charge you 15 to 16 dollars for an 8 ounch Sandwich. They own the building and screw us. I have traveled all over this county and what they serve and price is outrageous. Please do not be screwed read more

Absolutely delicious corn beef and pastrami! Pretty much a little hole in the wall with amazing deli meats. Will definitely be giving the spot another visit in the future. read more

My favorite thing place in Youngstown Ohio. The deli food is wonderfully prepared. My favorite sandwich is the Kravitz Reuben with hot peppers on the side and macaroni salad.
