    The Large Broadway Sub Combo
    John P.

    You gotta stop here. Small restaurant, the staff is super friendly and holy cow look at that sandwich!!! Their sides and desserts are rockin too. This is a real deal Deli. Run, don't walk.

    Fire Island sub, and a refreshing beverage.

    Ok, I may be jumping on the "five star bandwagon" here, but this place definitely deserves all five stars! Awesome fresh and flavorful offerings: Of course, the Reuben kicks ass. But also, the subs (I've had the Fire Island and the Manhattan) are top notch. Everything, including the veggies, mayo and bread, is super fresh and tasty. The meat is sliced to order, right in front of you. The chili, the various salads, and pretty much everything else at the Big Apple Deli, should not go unsampled. I saw some complaints about price, but I didn't think the place was that expensive, especially when you take into account the quality of the food...the Fire Island sub was $7.49 (a buck more than the other subs), and it filled me up nicely. Same for the Reuben. Service: Prompt, fast and ridiculously friendly. Also, I'm not really sure why, there's something kind of fun about the atmosphere. One of the best lunch or quick-dinner spots in Toledo. Better than Katz's deli? Maybe not, but still damned good!!

    Reuben with pepper jack cheese, side of jalapeño potato salad and a sunkist

    Always great sandwiches and sides, there is more options in sandwiches and sides than anyone would ever need. But im partial to the reuben and broadway sandwiches i cant get them enough

    Sandwiches are good but very pricey. Most of the time fresh meats and veggies. We don't go there often bc it's not in our budget.

    This place was amazing! I'll definitely be back…read more I tried the Italian, which I'll be getting again.

    Toledo doesn't have as many delis per capita as, say, NYC. But, the ones we do have are pretty…read moredamned good. At or near the top of the list is SMOKIN' OLIVE DELI!! In South Toledo at the corner of Rugby and S Detroit, lies the family owned and operated SOD. (Drive south on Rugby from Glanzman...one way street). MEAT AND POTATOES: The sandwiches are awesome. AWESOME I SAID! Although the secret ingredient may actually be love, these sammies seem to be crafted with the freshest and tastiest ingredients known to man. I'm serious. Expensive they are, but that's ok, because each sandwich (and "free" bag of chips) will probably come pretty close to filling you up. With that in mind, 14 bucks for an excellent MEAL doesn't sound so bad. To be honest, the Greek salad is not the best in town...but Greek salad isn't really the focus of a place like this, now is it. The atmosphere is friendly, comfortable, and clean. It's not fancy...it's a deli, after all. Order and pay at the counter, receive your meal, then either sit down and eat, or carry out. The people taking care of you are the owner and her kids. They're very friendly...and fast...and efficient. I must say, I'm really surprised there are (relatively) few reviews for Smokin' Olive Deli. If this place were in downtown Sylvania or downtown Perrysburg, or even in Cricket West, I'll bet there would be 100+ five star reviews! But since that's not the case, I'd whole hearted recommend that you truck on down to SoTol and show some love to SOD...in return, they'll show some serious love to your taste buds! 5 STARS!
