Belmont Deli — Restaurant in Edwards

Extremely sad. This was our favorite sandwich place however, this new ownership has some work to do. Got our sandwiches today and was so excited since we haven’t had Belmont for months since it closed... only to be completely disgusted. We get the Union City and the American Pharaoh every time and they were completely botched. So bad I don’t even know how it’s possible to get so messed up. What was labeled as the ‘Pharaoh’ was actually a disgusting mix of the Union City and the American Pharaoh. It had slaw, sauerkraut, red peppers, who know what kind of sauce and not sure what meat... it was one of the most disgusting combinations you could get. Then the other sandwich... no idea what it was but had a big dollop of goat cheese (or something similar), which is not an ingredient on either sandwich so no idea how that even got in there. And of course I hate goat cheese. Just so disappointed. Hopefully the new owners get their sh1t together soon. Good news is that the Mac salad was...

I went to this place with a little apprehension. The thing that caught my eye was the Chicago Dog, and I haven’t had a proper Chicago Style dog in a hot minute. I wasn’t sure if they would get the entire thing right, and I expected something about the composition of the hot dog to maybe be a little off. I was happily mistaken. This place nailed it. The sports peppers were exactly right. The relish was the correct type, neon. The dog had that crunchy casing. The tomatoes were half slices. They even remembered the celery salt. The ingredients were perfectly proportioned so that they blended into that signature Chicago Style flavor. An absolute joy.

I also purchased one of their sandwiches, The Vito. I was going to eat it later for dinner, but the hot dog had been so delicious that I couldn’t help but try the sandwich. It was absolutely delicious.

In conclusion, Belmont Deli is an excellent establishment that I would recommend to anyone...

I feel a need to update my review after some time. With the new ownership this deli has changed. Some things are for the better, while some could be improved upon IMO. Perhaps I am still just bitter because they got rid of my go-to sandwich, but I have found a new go-to at least.

The deli is much cleaner now, they have improved the quality of some ingredients, but they have completely changed and combined the signature sandwiches into relics of what was once an excellent selection. BRING BACK THE OLD COMMENDABLE!!!! I will never understand why new owners that purchase existing businesses decide to change signature features, but it happens all too often. The key to a good NY Deli are signature sandwiches and a lot are gone now.... so that is my only continuing complaint. This is still the best deli around, and overall, it is better than before. I'm excited to see what the future...
