Beno's Deli — Restaurant in Winona

Benos Deli – A Winona Institution for 40+ Years!

The prices listed on the Google page are from a few years ago, but they haven’t changed much.

Over the past week, I visited three delis in the region: Nelson Creamery in Nelson, WI, Pickerman’s Soup & Sandwich Shop in La Crosse, WI, and Benos Deli in Winona MN- Beno’s for the WIN! Its the only one I'd come back to...

Nelson Creamery: While the cheese plentiful, it was over-the-top, it overpowered the turkey on what could have been a good bite.

Pickerman’s Soup & Sandwich Shop: Overpriced. The lobster bisque was an odd bright orange, and the flavor was off.

Benos Deli: I went with a deli classic—pastrami. with cheddar cheese, horseradish sauce and fresh sprouts, accompanied by a bag of classic Old Dutch potato chips and a Dr. Pepper. The sandwich was served on soft marble rye bread, and the combination of cheese, horseradish, and sprouts created the perfect bite! Easily the best sandwich I had all week.

The counter service is straightforward. They have laminated menus and a lovely photo collage of many of their sandwiches. The staff is kind and welcoming, offering the kind of service where they actually look you in the eye.

The dining area is bright, filled with natural light, handmade maple booths, and local nature photography. The menu reflects this regional charm with sandwiches like the “Pepin Pastrami” (pastrami & swiss) and roast beef piled high on a poppy seed Kaiser or rye. Sandwiches range from $7.25 to $10.25 and are served with a dill pickle quarter.

They also offer classic deli sides: soups, garden salads, pasta salads, coleslaw, sodas, and a nice selection of baked goods and bars—all at fair prices.

I’m so glad I found this place. Benos Deli did not disappoint! A great sandwich, cheerful atmosphere, and warm service. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in...

Fresh Deli. Historic setting. Great staff.

We rolled in just before closing because, apparently, most of Winona is closed on Tuesday. What a fortuitous situation!!

The delivery meat was fresh, as was the very soft marble rye bread. There is a variety of odd sodas, and a lot of choices of classics in the deli sandwich choices.

The gent behind the counter made time to make is feel welcome. I made an allergy known to him, and he went above and beyond to be sure my sandwich was safe.

So, good food, good people, and good luck brought us to my favorite new...

First and last time I order here. Not the greayest service. I called and hour ahead and they had no cuban pork or chicken breast. I ended up ordering a turkey sandwich and cornbread. I heard good things but regret ordering here. Waited 10 min at the designated delivery door at my job and they ended up leaving it out front where screening is done with my name completely wrong. Its maria not "raya." Extremely disappointed. Sandwich wasnt even good. I should have gone through mcds drive thru instead. I usually dont leave reviews but I am not...
