Old World Deli — Restaurant in Corvallis

Updating this for Covid Times: While an indoor eatery, they do their best to keep the air following with open doors and fans. This is the one place in america where all staff are properly wearing masks. The sandwiches are a little lighter these days, but still tasty. Good place for lunch takeout! Want to try something a little different from the hipster eateries and gonzo fair found elsewhere in Corvallis? The Old World Deli with its impressive sandwiches and eccentric decór may be just the place for you. I'm a vegetarian most of the time, but when I am full-on craving a meaty sandwich, this place hits the spot. Their Reuben sandwich is tasty and filling (one usually suffices for two meals, in my case). If you're never into meat, though—or you're just into different kinds of meat than corned beef—don't worry, this place has a large and accommodating menu. Unless you're seriously gluten intolerant, in which case avoid this place. Speaking of accessibility, be forewarned that although you don't need to traverse any stairs, there are some uneven spots in the floor (it's old building—all the more charm for it!). The Deli often has live performances and other goings-on, which you might just happen upon any old night of the week. The last time I was there, a troupe of belly dancers was performing. Totally unplanned and quite entertaining! The Deli also boasts "the world's best brownie," or something to that effect... They should've called it a mediocre brownie, and then I woulda been like, "This is AMAZING," but since I was expecting the best brownie in the world, it was really just kinda average. shrug They've also got daily specials like meat loaf and are usually serving up a soup or two. Plus, if you overeat, the Deli is only a block away from the riverwalk in case you want a stroll...

We are one of the recent evacuees displaced due to the severe Oregon wildfires beachy Creek in particular is the wildfire that grew the biggest and took the most lives and structures in Oregon so many of us are devastated and left without homes and while red Cross put us into hotels after a few days they seem to have forgotten about us after that point and we were very fortunate enough to be in the hotel near your lovely historic kind delicious establishment we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for feeding us the majority of the time you're feeding at least nearly 200 evacuees more than once each day without even so much as putting your name on any of the to go containers that you are paying for yourself you're establishment is so humble and kind and giving you are what's good in this world and in Oregon and you are truly what will help us find Hope and Faith in rebuilding our community thank you again and God bless you...

Great for college kids, families, couples, singles, everyone!

This is my favorite place to eat in town. Huge part of the heart and soul of Corvallis! Local legacy that we can’t live without.

Great people, warm and welcoming atmosphere. Delicious food. I love their salads! They use the best greens and veggies, it tastes fresh out of my grandmas garden! They make great deviled eggs, brownies and PB cookies, pumpkin pie and other treats. Today I had a delicious lavender lemonade! New favorite!

Not too far from campus makes it a great spot to relax and get some great food and make some friends. They brew beer that keeps us coming back as often as possible. This is one of the hometown favorites that people love and can’t get enough of. Always a delight. Quick friendly service too 🤍☺️🥳✨👏🙌

*Note I arranged my chips/ate some so it didn’t come just...
