Steve's Downtown Deli & Bakery - Front desk - Delis Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

I love everything about this place. First visit was about 18 months ago and found myself dreaming of this bread. They make it fresh everyday and to have it on a sandwich is amazing. This is the type of place I'd go way out of my way to grab lunch. You can just tell it's made that day and fresh. Gotta love a place that has the same faces each time also! It's my must stop (currently only) lunch spot in Jackson! read more

Steve's Downtown Deli & Bakery - Yep. That good! - Delis Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

Stopped in for lunch today. This might be the happiest workplace I have ever walked into in my life. The staff was super friendly, not only with me, but with one another and happy to be there. This was at the end of lunch rush. The food was outstanding. Had the sausage gumbo and it was excellent. When I'm back in downtown Jackson, I will definitely be back. read more

Great little place. Very friendly. They don't advertise it but they are a "from scratch" restaurant. I had the gumbo and it was fantastic. You can tell they make their our roux and chicken stock. It's worth the effort. Good prices too. read more

I did not know that day was a holiday so I was looking for a place to have breakfast, I was going nuts, everything was closed, but driving around I found this place, Even the place was not open Steve let me use one table and got me some coffee and the best quiche I have ever had. Thanks Steve ! Will be back for a good breakfast soon !!! read more

Steve's Downtown Deli & Bakery - Breakfast - Delis Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

Small deli style restaurant in downtown. My co-worker thought it looked good, via online reviews, so we decided to give it a shot. Walked in and was greeted right away, im guessing by Steve, himself, and another nice lady working the register. They had some of their specialties on a giant chalk board, along with a paper menu, in front of the register. We both got the "Choctaw", which is grilled chicken and what they called Alabama BBQ sauce. The sandwich was pretty good. Roll was soft, and the chicken was tender. Maybe next time i think ill get it with some cheese, if possible. I also got the Senegalese Peanut Chicken soup. This, too, was really good. If you are in to curry, this would be right up your alley. I think it would be a bit better, if it were a little bit thicker. But that's just me. It was still really good. My co-worker also got a bread pudding and a PB cookie. He said both were excellent. The only negative thing(s) is that their soda machine was on the fritz, and they tried to fix it right away. They did have iced tea, so that made me happy. And, they plastic lids for their styrofoam cups didnt quite have a secure fit. Other than that, I hope this place really does well. read more

Steve's Downtown Deli & Bakery - Choctaw sandwich and Senegalese Peanut Soup - Delis Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

Such friendly service, and that alone is worth this rating. The food was good, the quiche is super. Sandwiches are great but a tad bit dry when we were there and I wish they had some creamer for the coffee (maybe they don't usually have coffee). The delicious soup more than makes up for that. Get a sweet potato cookie they are delicious. read more

The service is very friendly. The food is my favorite in all Jackson down! Steve's Deli foods are the perfect thing for lunch. read more

Steve's Downtown Deli & Bakery - Ordering Counter & Display Case - Delis Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

Great little deli! We are from out of town and we own a deli ourselves, in Nevada. The bread was fresh and the employees were very friendly. Tip- get the sweet potato pecan cookie!! read more

I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I am pretty close to it on the following point: There are no words in my mother tongue to do justice to the near perfect excellencies of the sweet delight which I hold ("to go") in this photo. It was simply described to me by its maker as a "lemon chess square." Frankly, there is nothing simple--nor ordinary, run of the mill lemon chess square--about what delirious somersaults this complex delicacy made my taste buds perform. Steve Long, it's maker and proprietor of Steve's (self described as "Comfort Food * Quick Bite * Cozy") has never disappointed me in his sandwiches, sides, salads, or deserts. Nor have I, so far, walked away feeling anything but really good--inspired by and happy about having been with everyone and everything associated with another Steve's lunch. This comfy place is located in downtown Jackson, Mississippi (125 S Congress St). And so, here is my fervent plug: Lean back, relax, leisurely peruse the menu or glance up at the specials blackboard and ask questions of your easy going host. And then, when you're ready . . . EAT AT STEVE'S! read more

The new owners are wonderful, food was fresh, the lemon glazed cookies were delicious!!

Best caprese sandwich I've ever had!!! Also got a coleslaw on the side & it was very good as well! I will definitely go back for that amazing sandwich and coleslaw!!! read more

Come here for a weekday breakfast in downtown Jackson. I'm not sure if this place is new or not (not on Yelp, but their sister location a few blocks away was), but it suffices for a bite and a cup. Atmosphere is cafe as any other coffee shop (attchd photo), but the meal presentation looks like they don't have a dishwasher hooked up yet, or something -- "dining in" was served in a styrofoam cup on an aluminum pizza oven plate covered with parchment paper and coffee was also in styrofoam...no plates and mugs? Added a bit of "soup kitchen" feel. I asked about wifi and was told I could log in if I was a Comcast customer...whuh? I'm not, so I didn't (iPad w/AT&T LTE) Scrambler Bowl (eggs, grits, cheese, turkey sub'd for sausage or bacon) was good, but I felt like the styrofoam made everything seem as tho the dining was not as important as the selling. Plus a cup of so-so coffee: $7.36 New place? Maybe they are still maturing...I'll probably check back if I return in the next few months. read more

Every downtown needs a good deli. In Jackson, Steve's is that good deli. Excellent food, good service, reasonable prices, all delivered quickly. Suitable for eating by yourself or for informal business lunches. Try the daily specials and be sure to order the soup. Enjoy! read more

Superb food ample portions definitely all made locally deserts were to die for bread pudding was the bomb.

We walked here in downtown Jackson based on reviews only to find when we got here that they no longer serve breakfast. We were disappointed and went and sat outside to decide where to go instead. The staff came outside and offered to make us a breakfast croissant sandwich. It was delicious! It was very nice of them to make something for us to keep the customer happy and both she and the cook were friendly. read more

Awesome restaurant! The menu is pretty diverse so you are sure to find something you like. They are reasonably priced and have excellent service. Really, that hits everything you need in a restaurant. Enjoy! They are also great for takeaway. read more

A lunchtime go-to. I honestly never look at the menu because the lunch specials are always so good. Plate lunches. Quiche and soup of the day. Wraps and sandwiches. The vibe of the place is pure cool as well. Visiting Jackson? Make this a lunch stop. Live here? Make it a consistent number on your weekly food hunt. And get a cookie. Life's short. read more

Stopped by while we were passing through Jackson- and glad we did! Really friendly service and the sandwiches were great. We all split a Cuban, French Dip, and an Italian Job.

Steve's Deli is really good! I love the Area 51 wrap! It's basically my preference when going. Not too pricey and you get what you pay for. I do recommend this deli. read more

Always a good lunch at either the uptown or downtown location. Steve has the best pastries in the downtown area.

Ate here for lunch. Cool place right by Governor's mansion. Nice atmosphere and incredible food. I had the Capitol club with a side of Senegalese Peanut Chicken Soup. OMG, it was awesome! read more

Steve's Deli is a pleasant, bright and airy place. This restaurant offers you a variety of seating choices, from an outdoor and relaxing seating area to a low-ceiling space that is great when you are in the mood for a more intimate meal. These people get food, and you really have to dig to find fault. They are known for their daily hot plate lunch dishes. Their mouth watering Red Beans and Sausage over Rice is wonderfully flavorful. But the kitchen's finest meal and my personal favorite is the Black Bean and Pulled Chicken Burrito with Spanish Rice Pilaf & Cantaloupe Salsa. The clever combination of a semi-salty bite followed by a sweet and fresh bite of the cantaloupe salsa is a palate stunner. In the sweet department this Deli is incomparable to others. They offer a variety of homemade cookies and pastries, but their chess squares are a must-have. There's a rare combination of both innovation and familiar tastes that, at last, edifies Steve's Downtown Deli beyond its humble downtown-restaurant status. For now, at least, it's one of Jackson's best. Edgar A. Gonzales read more

I drive downtown every time they have the Senegalese Chicken Peanut Soup. I feel a little guilty that I don't try anything else anymore because everything I've had there is fantastic. I just love the soup so much that I can't help myself. I wish there were a location closer to Meadowbrook. read more

Plate lunches are always good. Grits and grillades are a favorite. Soups are amazing. Special sandwiches are flavorful. Don't see what you want? They make me an off menu sandwich or salad if I'm in a mood. If they have the ingredients, they'll do it. Cookies are amazing so don't pass those up. The Tahitian Blonde is my fav. read more

I thoroughly enjoy Steve's! The staff members are friendly, the food is fresh and the atmosphere is clean and comfortable for dining in. The manager even delivered my food to the office since I was unable to leave one day! I always get the chef salad or the lasagna! They're both Devine! read more

You can't do no better than Steve's for lunch. Brisket wrap or Brisket pizza, add olives is my favorite but if there is seafood gumbo on the menu GET IT! read more

Service is always fast and friendly, and the food is delicious. I have lunch here most days of the week (since it's right in my building). The salads are great! read more
