How can I review this Nee York style deli. I was late getting to this small grocery store ! Deli. No worry's the deli chef said then came what sandwich can I make you and then came 30 questions. What kind of bread Rueben or sourdough then what kind of mustard. I didn't mind read more

I like this place. Has good sandwiches for Seattle. The issue is that they just aren't friendly. I guess that's also a Seattle thing these days. We used to be a lot nicer I feel. read more

Needs an update, no longer a deli, none of the sandwiches pictured are served here. The food/drink selection is what you would find in most gas stations. read more

It's stocked, a lot of different things you'd need in a hurry. The service is so sweet and quick. The vibes are super cool, everyone is like a regular. I ordered the bird and it was delicious, felt like home. read more

This place serves up crazy good sandwiches. My husband and I stopped by today and each were feeling in the mood for a veggie option. We got the Veggie Coaster and Veg Out Avocado and went halfsies on each. Soooooo tasty. The Veggie Coaster is a hit sandwich with such a good balance of flavours. We loved the Field Roast deli "meat" and pesto aioli. The Veg Out is a cold sandwich although the bread is still perfectly toasted. It's crunchy, fresh, and also has some fabulous garlic aioli on it. We will definitely be back for more! read more

Great hot sandwiches. I had the turkey coaster and it was so tasty. My husband got the bullrider and was also a fan. We grabbed drinks and chips while waiting for our sandwiches to finish, but they have tons of other snacks and things inside their small location. The staff are also super nice and helpful! read more

Got the Italian for my lunch while waiting for my flt. home. The sandwich was huge, and it had lotsa good stuff in it. Overall, I'm a fan. However, I'd go lighter on the Italian dressing. There was so much dressing that the sandwich was basically drenched. When I'm back in Seattle, I'll make sure to swing by again, and this time, I'll let them know to go very light on the dressing. read more

These deli sandos are some of the best I've had in Seattle. Really fresh. And really delish.

The new management has brought the place back to when Won ran the place. The last most recent management ran the place down with terrible overpriced selections and low quality sandwiches. The new management really cares. The selections are top notch, the pricing is reasonable (as reasonable as possible in Seattle), great sandwich quality and they even brought back outside seating. I've been here 10 years. I missed the old experience. I'm glad we now have someone who cares. read more

I'm not usually a sandwich person, but I really enjoyed their Thanksgiving-style turkey sandwich--it was delicious and full of flavor. The service was fast, the staff were super friendly, and there are even a couple of tables outside if you want to sit and enjoy your meal. Great spot, highly recommend! read more

It's like a bodega and I'm fortunate enough to live close to it! They have great sandwiches and they're pretty good value as well! I've tried everything they have on the menu and I've loved them all! I would recommend the bull rider to anyone who hasn't had it yet. Sometimes, they make special sandwiches for a limited time such as the carribean roast pork. Make sure to snatch those limited time sandwiches up when they're available! They really are something else. The sandwiches get to you fairly fast but they can get busy so make sure to call ahead of time if you're in a rush. It's also got some groceries so you can pick up snacks, drinks or whatever you need along with a scrumptious sandwich. I'll admit there's not really much out nearby so it can be a bit of a ways away from everything else. read more

Lyon's Grocery - I love NY sandwich - Grocery Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The customer service we received from the women behind the counter was absolutely unacceptable. The team ordered their food and was given an attitude about what they ordered, giving us the wrong sandwich completely and demanding we made the mistake. She gave us two of our guys sandwich and when we asked what sandwich is what, she yelled at us saying, "it's on the sandwich". Needless to say, we will not be going back and are very sadden about this as we loved the original owners. read more

This place has always been great, but it looks like the B team has taken over. Brown avocado, bacon unevenly cooked, slathered in cheap mayo. Please bring back the A team read more

I Love Lyons. I used to live in Westlake and would often walk a couple blocks most mornings to get a breakfast sandwich and a coffee. The owners are nice and will recognize you for coming in a lot. They were also very understanding when I ordered something with pine nut pesto on accident (I'm allergic to nuts) and let me re order without paying for the second sandwich. My personal favorites were the breakfast sandwich and the Ave but I have only ever heard good things about the rest of the menu. Definitely worth a trip to see for yourself! read more

Lyon's Grocery - Plain bacon cheddar BOC - all you have to say - Grocery Near Me - Seattle, Washington

We have been coming to lyons weekly for over 4 years, and as other comments are saying, the new team taking over for the long beloved previous owner has lost the plot. Twice in a row now the sandwiches portion sizes, presentation and quality have slipped dramatically. They don't even wrap the hot sandwiches in foil anymore to give them their signature delicate crunch and moisture. This used to be the best bodega in Seattle, serving a hangover curing bacon egg and cheese that would make Ocky's blush. Unfortunately, the music appears to be gone. Hoping the team can turn it around before it's too late, and the property is sold for scraps. Edited review from 3/5 to 2/5 after eating: tastes nothing like the OG. If nothing changes, this Seattle gem might disappear before the end of winter read more

Sometimes a girl just wants a good sandwich that's just right for lunch - not a project. Lyon's Grocery delivers just darn great sandwich - and there's a fantastic selection. And they aren't a messy pile. They're good - and the right size for lunch. read more

I've had multiple sandwiches from this place over the last 6 or so years and have never been disappointed! Plus they have great service.

I'm a little torn about how to review Lyon's Grocery. It has received fairly good reviews over the years, primarily for to go sandwiches. I'm always looking for a good pastrami sandwich so I have been there several times over the past few years. Each time I've been satisfied with my sandwich, the last time it was an Italian style sandwich, but never felt it was very special. So my take on this place is if you are nearby and want a nice sandwich, by all means check it out. If you're looking for a great sandwich, keep looking. read more

All the other recent reviews are spot on. Service quality has gone down. Sandwich quality has gone down. It takes twice as long to receive your order, regardless of if you called in or not. This used to be a gem, now it's just another corner store. read more

I've been working down the street from this place for a couple weeks, I've tried a lot of the sandwiches. Every single one has been very good, my personal favorites are the feisty Cajun, bull rider, and the turkey ranch. Excellent little spot. read more

If you are craving a savory breakfast sandwich with crispy bacon and gooey cheese-- Lyon's is the spot for you! Modeled like a NYC bodega, they have a ton of tasty-looking sandwich options and a selection of groceries! The breakfast sandwich is one of the most affordable in the city, coming in at just under $6, and you can pick up a drip coffee or other beverage from their grocery selection while you're at it. I can't wait to try their other sandwich offerings TL;DR: this is your spot for a delicious, filling, and affordable breakfast sandwich. Consider taking a stroll along Lake Union as you enjoy your bagel! read more

My previous review with this place was 5 stars, then the amazing owners sold the place a couple months ago or so and it went down hill fast. First, the young lady behind the counter most days is so rude, The shelves go bare for weeks and limited restocking and when they do it's not necessarily with the same product as before, especially bottled carbonated drinks but other items as well). There's a newer young lady (who started right after the new owners took over) who works the register who at first seems really nice but she lied to me when I asked about why the shelves weren't being restocked and she told me they were restocked the day before but they had a rush and everything was wiped out again in a days time (which made me laugh cuz it waWednesday and I come in sometimes 2-3 times a day and I knew she was lying) and she has messed up my called in sandwich orders the last 3 times now and the minute you question her, like I did today, she launches into irrational anger and refunded my sandwich order and while bullying me accused me of bullying her. It was so so weird. The staff that works evenings is excellent btw, one of them carried over from the previous owners and he's awesome. Probably shouldn't admit this but my partner and I easily spend $100-150/week at this store, sometimes more, but no more. My previous review here: Ones of the things you'll note from third review is that three shelves were well stocked before as well as a "pile" protein, especially tuna salad. But not the case anymore... Love this place, I moved nearby a year ago and come here all the time (usually daily) for the various items, it's a well stocked mini market. And the sandwiches are excellent, for example most sandwich places give you all bread and very little protein, but Lyons gives you a pile of protein (i have to be carful when I eat the tuna salad sandwich cuz chunks will fall out of the sandwich if I'm not careful, it's wonderful) and their breakfast sandwiches are to die for..... read more

With the new management recently taking place, the quality of the sandwiches has gone down, which stinks because they were always exactly the same with the previous owners. I've also noticed a lot of stuff missing off the shelves aka empty shelves. It's a bummer, not the sandwich shop it use to be. read more

Oh my goodness. My husband discovered this hidden treasure in Queen Anne during the pandemic recently and now it has become our favorite sandwich spot overall! It is a little grocery store but they also cook delicious sandwiches you must try for lunch! The first sandwich I tried (and only one I've gotten so far) is the Feisty Cajun. It is definitely not super spicy (I love my spicy foods!) but there is a slight kick to it! I love how generous they are with the amount of protein they include in their sandwiches, and the amount of each ingredient is PERFECT! I always have a problem with the bread being too thick/thin but Lyons' sandwiches has the perfect thickness of bread. My husband's favorite sandwich is the Bull Rider - this one also has a nice kick to it with Mama Lil's sweet hot peppers. Still not super spicy but the peppers add a great kick overall. :) The size of their sandwiches are also the perfect size as well. In fact, I can't finish mine in one sitting so I have leftovers for later in the day when I'm craving a snack. Swing by this cute little gem in Queen Anne if you are craving a sandwich! It is a must try. There's no parking lot but I've never had an issue finding a parking spot either right in front or right around the corner. read more

Lyon's Grocery is a hidden gem in Queen Anne! I had to swing by their deli to try their NY Club based on a co-workers suggestion. Man oh man... It did NOT disappoint. 100% would recommend! Keep in mind that the deli hours do vary from the store hours. I believe they are also closed earlier on Sundays vs what's on some of the older menu's that are pictured on Yelp. Parking: There is no parking lot available here. You can pull up to the side and there's a 30 minute parking and also plenty of street parking available. Sandwich: The NY Club has turkey, ham, bacon, Swiss cheese, Vermont cheddar cheese, coleslaw, in house Russian dressing all on a sub roll. The sandwich was probably pressed on a sandwich press before it was wrapped up. With every bite, you could taste the crunch of the bread and see coleslaw and dressing oozing out of the sandwich. It had the perfect amount of layers and it was an absolute treat! Pair it with a drink and bag of chips from Lyon's Grocery and you'll have the perfect meal! read more

Hot dang here is a Hidden gem!! ... This is a small quaint grocery/deli tucked away on the northern part of Dexter. Many drive by and may never think about going in this little shop. Depending on when you go, if you drive by, you may never know whether they make sandwiches, but trust me, the hidden deli, in this hidden building, surrounded by homes, knows how to make a sandwich. .. This definitely reminds me of the small sub shops you may find on the East Coast. A mom and pop shop deli + grocery/bodega. Sure the groceries are going to be a little expensive depend on what you are looking for or needing, but what you should really come here for is the sandwich! .. The personal favorite is the bull rider! Mama's little peppers, roast beef, onions, toasted to perfection! Packs a whole lot of flavor! They also offer some great vegetarian sandwiches with actual protein instead of just a mountain of lettuce, tomato, and vinegar. If you are running on a tight schedule, you can always call in ahead to place an order for your sandwich! Stop by at the parking out front, grab your sammie, something to drink, and be on your way! I have heard that they have great breakfast sandwiches too, but have not been able to try one yet! This is a place worth driving to, or sending a runner in the office to pickup sandwiches for everyone! Give it a try, you will be glad you did! ... As a bonus, they also have a decent beer and wine selection. Their beer prices are actually cheaper than the QFC off of mercer too. So if you need to supply your party in a pinch, it's not a bad option! Cheers! read more

What happened to this place.. the food and quality is not like it used to be. The sandwiches are not the same caliber. Very disappointed

The sandwiches are fresh made and some of the best I've ever eaten. These are take and go as there is no indoor/outdoor dining space but even my strong preference for "sit-down" places won't keep me from coming here anytime I'm in the area. YUM! read more

Great sandwiches! You can't go wrong. Vegetarian options, too! It's our go-to for lunch.

What I can't get is previous ownership stayed and trained new owners. After new ownership Sammy's are not good. Mayo is tavern quality purchased 2 frozen items and both were globs at one side meaning they unfroze vertically then refrozen. Attention to detail is lost. Predict store closure within a year. Sad. read more

Best sandwich place in Seattle call ahead. I favorite sandwich is the turkey coaster. They also have prime drinks if you're interested in that kind of stuff. read more

My favorite place in Westlake so far. I just moved here a few weeks ago, and I am in love with this place already! One day I was looking for good quality coffee beans and milk... found it. Another day I wanted to grab some good beer... they have a great selection. Lots of wine too. Need a cheese board? I was able to find cheese, salami and crackers. This place is amazing. Did I mention their sandwiches are also great! I am not saying that you will eat the best sandwich in your life, but they hit the spot every time. They also have lots of chip options at the store too, if you want a side. I still need to see if they have bread for sale, next time I'm around! read more

Great hole in the wall sandwich spot. You'd think it's just a grocery store on the outside but the hot sandwiches are fantastic. They can be a little greasy with the melted cheese and meats but it doesn't matter it's so good. Get something toasted with their mozzarella. Pastrami is also fantastic read more

The food might be amazing, but the customer service displayed by the cashier (big girl with the dreads) was extremely rude and unprofessional. As a customer u should never put ur finger in my face a rudely say ur on the phone when im about to order. Simply held up her finger and said "im on the phone" not no one moment sir im taking an order or give me a sec ill be right with u. She simply stated the obvious and the rudest way possible. The food is amazing tho. lol ‍ read more
