This cute little retro cafe is far enough away from The University to attract a more diverse crowd than just students, and it's housed in a cool building that looks like it was originally early 1900s retail shops, with the recessed doorways surrounded by picture windows, raised ceilings with decorative tin squares, and transom windows situated over the porch overhang. They've partly knocked out the wall between two original spaces, so the food counter is on one side, and the tables and corner stage are on the other. There are a few tables out on the sidewalk as well. The back is open to a shared space with the other shops, and that's where you'll find the restrooms. Okay, so I love these old buildings, but the food and the live music are the main draw here. They offer a wide range of sandwiches made with fresh baked bread (gluten free available), salads, and some tasty soups and desserts. Drinks include Maine Root fountain sodas, a wine list, some cans and bottles of regional beers, and more cans and bottles of non alcoholic drinks. You order at the counter and they give you a number and bring it out to your table. We enjoyed the hummus sandwich on sourdough, and their classic Rueben. Friends ordered an array of dishes, including the chef's salad, paninis, and sweet potato fries. The key lime pie was delicious. We look forward to trying some of their other offerings too next time. Prices are about average for fresh made deli food. The music was singer songwriter folk style and made for a relaxing, enjoyable evening. Parking is available in their small adjacent lot. read more

This is my new favorite deli in the Hyde Park area. I decided to take a walk here for lunch the other day since I was craving a hearty sandwich and hot soup. It's hard for me to find a deli that has good gluten free bread and I'm happy to say, I've found the place I've been looking for all this time. The restaurant space is a good size with outdoor seating. I was very impressed by the menu and all of yummy options to choose from. I decided to go with a Turkey pastrami on gluten free bread with a tomato basil soup. My expectations were blown out of the water. This was one of the best sandwiches that I have had in a while. The staff is very friendly and happy to accommodate you in any way. The owner was there when I went and you can tell that he takes pride in his business. If you're in the mood for a hearty meal, this is the place to be. I will return to this establishment and recommend it to all of my friends and family. read more

NeWorlDeli - I had a veggie sandwich on rye with hummus, avocado and all the veggies-excellent - Delis Near Me - Austin, Texas

We loved our experience and NeWorlDeli! Such a fun ambience because we randomly stumbled across a bluegrass open night evening when we came! There were so many people who brought their banjos and fiddles making for a very fun atmosphere. The food was excellent as well! We got two sandwiches and a sweet potato fries which was a lot of food! Each was excellent and the fries were some of the best we've had! read more

I came by for a quick lunch after having seen this restaurant for years. I stuck with some tried and true options, the turkey and gruyere sandwich on toast with a side salad and balsamic vinaigrette. Service was friendly, prompt and everything was fairly priced and fresh. I was really impressed with everything I got. I'm excited to come back to check out more of the menu. I'll give this an update when I have made a few more visits! read more

NeWorlDeli - Turkey and Gouda sandwich with side salad. - Delis Near Me - Austin, Texas

Greg runs what amounts to an old school great quality place (and since I'm from Jersey too, I know where he got his chops!). His "Jersey sloppy joe" isn't exactly like the original, but close enough to make me very happy we went. You won't be disappointed read more

This deli on the edge of Hyde park has a nice coffeshop vibe and live music some nights. Sandwiches cover the classics, but I haven't found any standouts yet. read more

Downright the best sandwich I've ever had. I live 80 miles away in San Antonio and every time I'm in Austin I always stop at NeWolrDeli. Greg the owner makes everyone feel so welcome here. He expressed his gratitude and appreciation for my business. Never had a burned sandwich. They are always toasted to perfection. The pastrami and corned beef is the best I've ever had. This place is awesome. Definitely recommend NeWorlDeli. Thanks for all the hard work keeping this place pumping out incredible sandwiches every day and providing a place for live music and local artists to call home. read more

NeWorlDeli - Custom build your own sandwich. Pastrami and corned beef because they are both so good I can't decide. Toasted to perfection. - Delis Near Me - Austin, Texas

Rainy days call for grilled cheese and tomato soup and this one was perfect! Sour dough bread toasted to perfection was perfect for dipping. You can chose your bread and cheese. Super helpful and friendly owner ! Clean warm atmosphere, bonus there was a fantastic musician playing live. This will be a repeat place to explore the Menu and atmosphere read more

Car broke down but instead of breaking down I chose a new vehicle: the submarine. Gimme summa dat!!! Pristine meatball sub washed down with some Joe Tea. Nothing smoother. Points lost for the omitted letters, but points gained back for the interior pickle smell and tea/lemonade stock. Before getting the official New Jersey Deli stamp of approval, cold sandwiches will be tasted and tested. Shows promise! In fact, might be a whole ~new world~ for the lunch hour. read more

Needed a quick lunch between meetings - stopped here and split a chicken salad on a French roll (simple and delicious - none of the stupid fruit or nut additions some try to throw into chicken salad!) as well as a cup of the cheesy broccoli soup (thick, cheesy and amazing) - this place is awesome - I will definitely be back when in the area :) read more

Great healthy place to catch a quick deli meal. Service was outstanding with lots of deli selections for whatever your preference is.

Old Austin, comfort food, friends and entertainment await! This place is cozy and informal with a diverse deli menu that offers something for all comers. The tuna melt on rye and the curried chicken salad are YUM+! Austin local musicians are featured most nights, and Fridays appear to be a comedy showcase. We saw The Panama Hats perform, and absolutely hope to see them play again! read more

A sandwich establishment that isnt trying to invent the wheel with its standard deli offerings, with plenty of additional offerings. The mixed deli (ham, salami, pastrami) on a hoagie roll is what you would want from a deli sandwich. Id say a texture offering for a sandwich establishment. Their breads here are good, but I can't help to feel the way they toast them leaves them a bit too crispy. Their pickles are a bit mushy, so not sure if they pickle them in house or if it's just a weird batch. read more

Some of the best pastrami and corn beef on rye out outside of New York City and I would take a picture and show it to you, but we will sit down and then they clean the table so I can show you an empty table. If you want authentic New York, this is the place to be In Austin . even though the chef is from New Jersey. read more

Definitely get your sandwich toasted. I loved my sandwich and my friend didnt and I think that was the difference. Coming here is like a step back in time in a way which I appreciate. It has charm that isn't Instagrammable.Be sure to look up the schedule to see if there are performers in case that's not ur vibe, otherwise the music is fun. read more

Their pastrami reuben is a beast. I don't know why I'm surprised, as this neighborhood deli/cafe boasts "old-fashioned sandwiches piled high with fresh deli meat, cheese and all the trimmings"... no false advertising there. Prices are reasonable, mostly indoor seating with a few bistro tables outside (but next to a busy road), Maine Root soda fountain (they currently have a check-in offer on Yelp for a complimentary drink), and lovely folks running the establishment. A definite gem in Hyde Park. read more

NeWorlDeli - Pastrami Reuben - Delis Near Me - Austin, Texas

TLDR: They had no right to make sandwiches this good. This wasn't my first visit to this place, but the first time I've remembered to take pictures and such. This place is truly phenomenal. every time I have been here, they hit top marks. It certainly isn't "cheap", but I wouldn't call it pricey, and the food is well worth it. the Aesthetic is pretty classic deli, a bit cramped, and but the whole place feel comfortable. The Reuben that I had this time was amazing. The sauerkraut is piled high, as is the meat, and the dressing balances everything out perfectly. I'd eat here every day is my waistline and wallet could handle it. 5/5. read more

What a cute little place! I never new this was here. There is a parking lot behind (if you're unable to find it). A friend and I sat here for hours just chatting after our lunch. I had a turkey reuben and it was delicious! I also ordered an eggplant parm to take home for dinner and it was also great. I want to try more from the menu because it looks like your typical NJ Deli type menu! read more

We love NeWorlDeli! Greg and staff couldn't be nicer. Everything is delicious. My go to is the chicken curry. The portions are large. They even offer "more than a half" which is large too. Tuesday evenings they have live music and it's so much fun. Love this place. read more

It's four star considering it's a deli and not full scale restaurant. Very old Austin casual neighborhood vibe. There was live music when we went. Large portions and lots of options. Mostly sandwiches and burgers. read more

I had never known this cute deli existed on the drag until my girlfriend performed here. They have tons of gluten free options! This is my favorite gluten free deli in Austin. They have ample parking. I ordered a delicious gluten free tuna melt. The tuna could have used more salt but it was still really good. The customer service is really good. read more

Had a great lunch! 1/2 sandwich, chips & a drink. The Italian mix meats sub all the way. read more

Dining in is always great because they have super rare New Jersey Sloppy Joes, but the NeWorlDeli team just provided the most amazing cheesesteaks for my Super Bowl party. Greg worked with me to determine the best way to prepare and serve the sandwiches and they were a massive hit. Great experience all around. read more

Excellent customer service, even better food! The owner was so patient while we took forever to decided what we wanted. Then he brought us a free basket of fries with our meal. Our sandwiches were delicious but those sweet potato fries are something special!! We visited on a Saturday and they had great live music too. read more

Okay, how cute is this place. When you think "local Austin sandwich joint" this place checks off all the categories! Love the "library cafe" vibes and exposed kitchen with jugs of peppers and other condiments spread throughout the register space. Theres a stage in the corner and while I haven't been here during a live set, I bet it really sets the mood! Oh, did I mention they have kickass food too? Sorry, too busy basking in the warm lighting and local art. They've gotta have a killer meatball sub because looking around there are at least four patrons eating it right now *takes mental note to get that next time* In a nutshell, I definitely recommend trying this place out at least once. It's not 5-star gourmet, but performs exactly as you need it to for a great cafe experience! read more

I've lived in Austin for 12 years and this is my go-to lunch spot. Excluding the pandemic, I've had a sandwich from NWD once a week for over 5 years and have never been disappointed. My standard order is the pastrami sandwich on sourdough. My wife enjoys the turkey pastrami Reuben. Others we've brought here for lunch have tried a number of their items and they are ALL WINNERS. Great staff, friendly owners, and a chill atmosphere make this an ideal spot for a casual lunch or quick dinner. They also have live music events on a small stage. My wife and I rented out the main dining area for our rehearsal dinner and Greg (owner along with wife Sarah) put together a great menu for the event. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Corned Beef - Biderman's vs Neworld Deli. Corned beef sandwich n toasted rye with Lettuce, tomato & mayo. First, Biderman's has an odd smell. The sandwich is huge and insides are falling out all over. But the smell is distracting and unpleasant. Very difficult to eat. Corned beef is shaved thin but lacking flavor. Rye bread burned on inside. I don't smell the beef at all. But it tastes okay once past the odor. Sandwich is $14.95. NWD - sandwich is stacked high but controllable. Obviously freshly shaved meat. Home made? Lettuce isn't shaved but layered on. No smell but beef and hellman's mayo. Very moist and fresh. Tastier rye bread with a nice crunch. Sandwich and a nice pickle is $7.95. I won't do Biderman's again. Update: if it smells funny, don't eat it. read more

Best Reuben sandwich in town. They also have incredible French fries. They also have their own parking lot so it's easy to access.

Hallelujah! After moving here from NYC I've been craving a decent deli sandwich. And this shop met my sandwich needs. I had the tuna melt on sourdough. It came out hot and fresh on toasted bread. I feel like I've been transported back to a NY Diner. I can't wait to try the Rueben! Service was super friendly and helpful. The place has a nice, relaxed vibe with live music on a Thursday night. I'll be back! read more

This is a Mom and Pop run deli (Greg and Sarah are mom and pop to three beautiful daughters). The restaurant offers the quality you'd expect from a personal touch. Food is EXCELLENT.

Being a NJ native I was excited to try the NJ Sloppy Joe sando, a family favorite. This one didn't disappoint. I got it with turkey and swiss and it was fantastic, like a trip back to northern NJ amidst this pandemic (without all the loud talking and traffic). The coleslaw was thick and crunchy, the rye bread deliciously classic, and just enough russian dressing was added to flavor and meld it all together. Yum! (also, it was big enough for 2 meals) My wife got the avocado sando and loved it, and we shared a broccoli cheddar soup that was just perfectly creamy and flavorful. Highly recommend this spot. We'll be back for sure, and curbside pickup was easy as pie. Also, we love to support a family-run business! read more

Neworld makes the BEST broccoli cheddar soup. Their portions are just right to fill you up, with tons of sweets behind the counter who could hate this little business?? The live music can get a little loud, but if you go in the afternoon, it makes a great brunch read more

Wow wow wow top notch service!!!! I'm not sure if Greg is the owner and/or manager but the kindness and enthusiasm was just the tip of the iceberg. My modifiers on my Turkey club were a breeze for the staff. It's simple, but most people will put my allergies on "by mistake" and then instead of remaking the sandwich, just pick it off. They did it right the first time. Level one passed!!!!! Next stop, checking how everything tasted. Greg was there and ready for feedback AFTER we took a few bites, not as the food hit the table like a lot of places. For a counter service spot, Greg was on it!!! I knew he'd be there if I needed anything or had anything he could correct or improve on. Such a kind soul. It's my last weekend living in Austin but I'll be sure to stop by whenever I'm back around!!!! Thanks for a great lunch Greg! read more

I've been coming here for about 10 years, but took a break when it was watching my carbs. I came back recently and had my usual, the Sloppy Joe. Unlike the traditional version, NWD's is basically built like a club sandwich with generous portions of pastrami on one layer and roast beef on the other. The sloppiness comes from their home made slaw drenched in Russian dressing all held together on scratch made rye bread. Give it a try, you'll Like it! read more
