West 3rd Deli — Restaurant in Cleveland

This place is a classic deli. The term classic here has mostly positive but also negative connotations. Let’s start with the negative. The atmosphere is dated which is not a bad thing but it looks sad. A light refresh would go a long way. The other issue is that you can smell the meats right when you walk in and not in a yummy way but more of a mom’s cooking without the fan on and the house is full of smoke kind of way. You come out smelling like a deli (again, maybe not a bad thing). The food is both a positive and negative for me. It’s just good. I can appreciate the classic combinations but perhaps spicing up the old classics a bit with better quality ingredients would go a long way. Again not bad by any means, but it didn’t wow me. There is something to be said about the homemade feeling I get when eating one of their sandwiches though. The Italian sub is my go to and I recently tried one Of the steak sandwiches. The steak was disappointing as it resembles more of a roast beef cold cut than actual steak. The service is where this place shines. They make you feel welcome and the lady making your sandwich is always smiling and has a fantastic memory. Good service goes a very long way and I commend these people for that. Despite the few criticisms I will keep going back it’s just a good and simple...

Pretty cool local deli in the courthouse area of Cleveland. I was told it used to be a Quizno's? I can see it. Looks like most sandwiches are toasted. few options on choice of bread, good variety of sandwiches. They fill up around lunch with a lot of walk-in business from the jail, courthouses and legal offices, but they move the line pretty quick. Friendly service, great food, clean place. They also sell lottery tickets...

Phenomenal Italian sub. The best I've personally ever had. While visiting Cleveland we parked in the parking lot right around the corner. Swung in here for a sandwich. Got the Italian and man am i happy I did. My wife got the turkey sub and she was equally as pleased as I was. Great sandwich. Fast service. Inside tables and outside seating...
