You walk in- pretty unsuspecting nothing over the top but the food and service. I've never had someone let me sample the cured meats so that I can best decide what wrap I wanted. I went with the corned beef - which melted in your mouth. Then the house aioli, pita bread wraps... everything was delicious. The owners were awesome. The staff happy and proud of the product they're putting out there. Thanks for the hospitality So good!!

Why 4 stars? Because this was a solid way to start my weekend trip…read more --- --- --- I was flying into CLE and was on the hunt to find a good place for lunch. My search didn't take me long, as I quickly found Express Deli: 5 minutes from the airport with an absurdly good rating. I don't always love ruben's, mostly because I'm not the biggest corn beef fan, but when they are done well, I am down. And I figured a place with a 4.9 rating would probably hit the spot. I think it did! I assume the mustached man who was a mirror image of the mascot was the owner, and he couldn't have been friendlier. There were only a couple of tables in here, so we sat down to ate, while a steady crowd of pick-up orders flowed through on a Friday at lunch time. My friend absolutely *insisted* I mention that they do not have parking spot lines painted in their lot. I am not one to turn down a dare, but I also acknowledge that these are the most inconsequential words I've ever typed in over 3,500 reviews. If you were to rank my priorities when evaluating a sandwich, the parking spot lines wouldn't crack the top 500. But my job is done here.

I can't believe that we have driven by this place soooo many times and never stopped. It looked…read morelike a place older folks would go. However, we heard it was a deli and from the photos online the food looked great. So, we tried it. Well, the food was amazing. They offer a very large menu. There is something for everyone. I ordered the Philly and could not believe how good it was. The portions are huge, so we split. The potato salad was great, not the grocery store type! We were a large party of 9, and they had no problem seating us. We waited 10 minutes for a table. The service was fantastic. The waitress was very nice and brought refills right away. She brought extra plates when asked and got to-go boxes for us. The ambiance is hard to explain. The pace is huge! Not really decorated like a deli at all. Kind of an upscale diner, very clean, and minimalist. Don't expect a fancy interior. It's kid-friendly and just an all-around great family place. Not a "date" place, however, the food is so good, I just might ask to go there on a date! This restaurant does not disappoint.

The dessert case was large & filled with beautiful cakes & pastries. We were sat about 10 mins late though I was there 30 mins early), but we got 2 servers. The 2 ladies were cordial but a bit short w/ us and persnickety about our requests. My sister asked for light cheese specifically & server said that veggie sub never has a lot on it so she didn't need to note it. Then it came out w/ so much cheese it was impossible to separate it so she asked for it to be remade & server said that was the last one they had. So she had to order a side salad since time was short as hers came out last, & it would take 10+ mins to make another dish. There were a couple other issues w/ server's remarks seeming to have attitude. Food overall tasted good. My hot pastrami was delicious but overly salted & cheese wasn't melted like on everyone else's sandwiches. All like the huge pickles. Prices were fair for the portions. And food came out when ready as we requested for 16 ppl. I'd give 3.5 stars if able, but I'll round up this time.

This place is legit. Fresh, delicious, everything you'd want a deli place to be and more.read more

I stop by TJ's almost every week for a sandwich. It's your typical local butcher shop - no frills,…read morejust what it needs. Beth behind the counter is so friendly and I enjoy chatting with her while she makes my sandwiches. I have tried many sandwiches here - the hook and ladder, big bird, southwest turkey, the Italian, and the corned beef are all delicious but my favorite is definitely the chicken salad on a hoagie. They also have different meats and sides - like pasta salad to choose from. I've picked up the bratwurst before and it is pretty tasty. They also sell different kinds local things like mustards, sauces, and coffee. My only critique is that they are often out of something or another. If you aren't there for lunch you're not getting corned beef, they carry drinks and chips and such and I'm sure it's hard to keep everything stocked but sometimes I have to settle when it comes to what drink or chips I choose. Otherwise, I love TJ's - It's a great local staple!

We were there in the 1:00 hour on Saturday April 11, 2026 and were ordering when my wife asked what came on the Tuna melt. The woman (grey hair so there is no mistake who this was) very sarcastically said "Tuna, did you just get off the turnip truck?" Seriously? Maybe she was asking if lettuce and tomato came on it. I wanted to walk out but the sandwiches are always so good that I bit my tongue and we did order two tuna melts with added lettuce. There was no reason to demean her for asking what all comes on the sandwich. She was not joking either until I stated the obvious about additional add ons. It's 8:24 and I am still stunned by her attitude towards us. There is no way to convey her tone and attitude here but obviously it bothered me enough to post this. 5 stars food. 0 stars for her.

Nestled in Westlake you might drive by, but make that u-turn and double neck to Lehmans you will not be disappointed. I typically go with an everything bagel egg sandwich, they offer Cleveland Bagel, so a no brainer, that and they grill the bagel on the flattop . Once you place your deli order, hop over to the bakery and get a scone, a muffin, a donut, a slice of pie the possibilities are really endless. They offer a full coffee menu, soups to go, hot items, packed freezer and fridge items too. So get up early and head to Lehmans, especially if you want first dibs on the good donuts!

We seem to have stopped in at the perfect time - the line only grew behind us to a point where it was out the door. So many cute local finds here. I ended up buying a tote, some salt, some local jams, chocolate, and some locally made wooden kitchen tools. I wish there was a market like this at home by me! We also had fun checking out the little pop up they had next door. We ended up leaving with some locally made non-alcoholic beverages and some hot sauce! Super fun!

They have great selections of beef, pork, chicken, and even duck! They have cuts of meat I couldn't even find at the West Side Market!! Really! They'll cut steaks to any thickness you desire, but chances are, it's already in the case. They have tomahawk steaks and every other prime cut with exquisite marbling. K&K also has the always elusive guanciale if you're a fan of authentic carbonara, as I am. I was spoiled in Rome, and now thanks to K&K, I can make carbonara just as I had it on the Borgo Pio. The meat here is fresh and has all the cuts you want. They also have a nice curated selection of wines and other condiments worth considering. Don't get me wrong, I love the West Side Market, I can walk there from where I live. However, it's worth getting in my car and driving to K&K.
