Best sandwich in the area. I ordered a Market Square and it was fabulous. Service was fast and friendly. I am definitely going back again and again. read more

If you're looking for a taste of a New York delicatessen in the state of Ohio, look no further because "Big Apple Deli" will definitely have you covered. Located just outside of Toledo in the neighboring community of Oregon, this place has been dishing out delicious New York-styled sandwiches dating back to 2011. The location itself is located directly off of Woodville Rd. and just north of Oakdale Ave. As of 2023, they are opened for business Tuesday through Saturday from 8am-7pm while being closed on Sunday and Monday. I ended up coming here during the afternoon of Wednesday 9/13/2023 at around 3:30pm as I had not yet eaten lunch and needed something to fuel me the rest of the afternoon. The exterior offers ample parking throughout while the large sign is easily identifiable from the street. The main entrance also has the business name in very large letters which gives their business that 'wow' factor even before entering. As far as the interior layout, it is well laid-out and spacious with seating for about 25 guests. And since this place is named after New York City, they have a ton of memorabilia on everything associate with the Big Apple. This includes representing the NY Mets, NY Yankees, & NY Giants sports teams, a picture of the Brooklyn Bridge, a Subway stop at Times Square, signs of many New York streets, and much more. All of their menu items are even named after landmarks and sports teams in New York City; "Broadway", "Central Park", "Rangers", etc. I ended up going with a small specialty sub (for $5.99) of their "Madison Square" combo. This included ham, pastrami, salami, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, peppers, Italian dressing, mustard, and creamy mayonnaise on a soft New York-styled roll. I also opted for a bag of chips which were Ohio's own "Ballreich's" sour cream & onion flavored and a 20 oz. size of Royal Crown cola. Total price was a very reasonable $10 for everything. I also wanted to point out that in addition to their yummy sandwiches, they also have a huge variety of soups, salads, potato salads, snack trays, and even a ton of desserts. Once my sandwich was ready, I took a bite into pure heaven. The bread was one of the freshest and softest rolls I've even bit into. They also did not skimp on the meat while this place can easily rival any New York deli. The service here was also top notch as the staff here go above and beyond for their customers. When you factor in the service, food quality, location, experience and affordable prices, "Big Apple Deli" is easily a 5-star Yelp experience. read more

The food is amazing the staff is friendly and the prices are in line with the quality and quantity of food. Everything is made fresh right in front of you. Been a customer for nearly 40 years and have never had a bad experience. Love this restaurant!!!! read more

So this place has the best subs on this side of the river in Toledo .. the portions have slimmed down from what they used to be, but you still get a monster size sub for the price that you pay .. the prices have went up, but again it's actually worth it for what you get !! I'm read more

LOVE this place! Definitely visit whenever I'm in the Toledo area. The Madison Square sub is my personal favorite. Wonderful people!

Great place to grab sandwiches! Service is friendly and fast. Small place able to sit down for lunch.

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!! read more

Big Apple Deli - Fire Island sub, and a refreshing beverage. - Delis Near Me - Oregon, Ohio

It's the day after christmas, and we're driving around looking for a place to eat. We head towards the east side of toledo (why not?!) and decide on Big Apple Deli. Sadly, it was closed. We sat in the parking lot crying for a moment, questioning the meaning of life. After we pulled ourselves together, we drove around the east side and ended up at Ralphie's. Bad move. Terrible food. But I digress. The reason we headed over to Big Apple in the first place is because of their fantastic sandwiches and chili. The atmosphere makes you feel like a kid in the 80's. The walls are covered in certificates of community service, catering flyers and other toledo relics. The sandwiches are all made fresh, and they offer an odd assortment of party trays and pre-made salads. The kind of stuff that would make your grandmother proud. The portions are big, the prices are reasonable, and from what i've heard... the employees are all co-owners which makes sense. They all seem to take great pride in their service. While we are very disappointed we ended up at Ralphie's, we're more-so disappointed that we weren't able to make it to Big Apple Deli on our day off. It's a christmas tragedy. read more

Their food is fantastic, especially their chicken salad. Their pricing is a tad high, which is why I gave 4 stars. I still love their food and go there, but not as often as I'd like to. I highly recommend them, just be prepared for a little bit of sticker shock. read more

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 read more

Big Apple Deli - Reuben with pepper jack cheese, side of jalapeño potato salad and a sunkist - Delis Near Me - Oregon, Ohio

Great deli sandwiches that are super packed with meat and cheese. Delicious, homemade desserts, My personal favorite is the Ruben sandwich on toasted rye. The workers are always pleasant, and welcome you with a smile. The place is rather small, but very clean. I like the fact that there is a window to pick up food and place orders, however there is no intercom. read more

Get a Broadway! My Dad used to bring them home for a special treat when we were teenagers. That was in the 80's and they're still great! Although, everyone misses Tim who was Dad's friend too. Maybe they're in Heaven eating a Broadway! read more

Another place that has great sandwiches with large portions, this is my first choice for sandwiches!

Wow! What a find thanks to Yelp! Friendly staff, amazing subs and sandwiches, and really neat complimentary salads!! I travel through Toledo for work frequently and I'm so happy I found this place! The Reuben is to die for! The crab, potato, and macaroni salads are amazing!! Have it saved to stop again and again! read more

Fantastic find! Fresh made sandwiches and soups. Worth a trip for a good meal or even a deli trip for their many different salad based options. 100% would go back when in town. read more

Amazing is the first thing I want to say about this place! We were out garage saleing this afternoon and wanted to find a good local spot. So of course, I jumped on Yelp for some advice. This place had nothing but rave reviews and we quickly found out why. It's a small, quaint place to grab a delicious meal. I had the special, half a French Dip sandwich, macaroni salad and a soda for less than $8. The hubby had the Philly Cheese Steak. Both of us LOVED our choices. The hubs was BLOWN AWAY with how much meat was on his sandwich. Delicious! The next thing I have to rave about are the employees and owner. They are absolutely, hands down the friendliest restaurant peeps I have EVER met! Tim, the owner was so personable. It felt like we had known him for years by the way he talked to us and treated us. He even asked us how many dogs we have and gave us some goodies for them! Whenever people were leaving, you would hear the employees saying good bye and thanks for coming in (they were across the dining room from the door!) When we left, I noticed they had a drive up window. I couldn't resist.... since this is a NEWS YORK STYLE DELI, I decided I HAD to get a piece of CHEESECAKE! The 2 ladies at the window joked that they swore they just seen us! I told them I couldn't resist and had to have the cheesecake! Again, DELICIOUS! I'd be a Big Apple Deli ADDICT if I didn't live over 2 hours away! Thanks Tim and Crew for doing an amazing job and service. read more

Have stopped here a few times and highly recommend the chili. Mix the hot with the regular and it is really good. Got the carrot cake. Terrible. Looked like a piece of cake from a box with icing. NOT worth $5.99 ever.philly cheese staek was killer. Just no carrot cake ever. read more

Great food every time. Their jalapeño potato salad is amazing. I prefer to do the Build Your Own Sandwich.

Excellent subs, great chili and outstanding service. Been going there since the first week they opened

This is one of my favorite restaurants in the area. I'm a huge fan of deli meat, so anywhere that slices it fresh and throws in on some bread is good with me. Everything is good here and everything is made in house, they also have fantastic desserts! read more

Nice place food is great and you get good portions workers are very nice and very helpful

Seriously amazing. I'm a huge Reuben fan and theirs is actually the best around. Come with an appetite!! It's costly, sandwich alone is $8.50, but they slice the corned beef in front of you and it's easily a half a pound if not more. The Jalapeño cheddar potato salad is a great side dish option! And the peanut butter pie is the perfect way to finish off the meal. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Best deli in Oregon. Not only do I happily stop here for sandwiches when headed to see my family but their desserts are also amazing. I had some kind of oreo pie thing with my GIANT Roast Beef & Cheese sandwich last week and it was 100% worth killing the "diet" for the day. They also cater so the next time you are hosting a party let them do all the leg work. I am so glad to know where to get a great sandwich... BTW: Cost wise for as much meat as you get on a sandwich I would get a big one and eat it twice. A half is certainly enough to get you through the mid day meal and at that point the price is competitive w/subway or jimmy johns and the value is SO MUCH MORE. Cheers to local eats! read more

I've had the Philly and the Chicken club. Both were AMAZING. Everything tasted fresh, and the sandwiches were literally made perfectly. Definitely a gem in the area. read more

Great sub. First time buyer and will be back. My first stop after leaving the casino.

We were only here for a short weekend on our most recent visit (to attend a wedding) but this was the best food we had during our time here, by a pretty wide margin. Fresh, delicious sandwiches that are a great size and still cheaper than what we're accustomed to back home. Extremely friendly and patient employees. This deli is the real deal, and if one day they hear a loud noise and look up to see the entire building has been lifted out of the ground by a handful of large helicopters with hooks and are heading in the general direction of Florida, it's because I finally found a way to make that happen. read more

We were passing through on a road trip and ended up here because Mancino's (just down the road) was understaffed and we didn't want to wait 30 minutes. And boy are we glad that happened! The service was above par--super friendly, jovial, and welcoming at all times. The interesting thing was that we were there about 25 minutes before closing. Usually at that time, the staff is closing down and doesn't really want any more customers--but not here. The guy was actually like excited when we all (us and the people in front of us) said we were going to eat in. We're pretty sure he wanted to see everyone enjoying the food! And we did!! The kids were thrilled with their kid sandwiches (PB&J and bologna) and we were in heaven with our Reuben. We definitely recommend this place and wish we had one back home in Virginia! read more

Driving through from Detroit to Philadelphia and stopped at this place. Outstanding lunch. Friendly efficient service very clean and the food was delicious. Also very clean bathrooms and a nice area to sit down and eat your lunch. Bravo for another great small local business. read more

I wish I could give 10 stars. We stopped in to get Timzilla to split, and it wasn't just a sandwich, it was an experience. For $13.99, you get a sub that can feed 2-3 people. Big Apple Deli renews my faith that you can get an exceptional sub in Toledo. Jimmy Johns and Subway, go home. You're drunk. read more

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.

I came here before a business meeting nearby, found this place on Yelp. The staff was super nice, a lot of people ordering to go, a hot spot for sure. I ordered a roast beef sandwich, was beyond my expectations. I definitely recommend and will be back very soon! read more

Great food. Great people. Get the sandwich hot! A ton of good options and sides to choose from and their service is top notch read more

This place is awesome! The people are super friendly and all of the food is served up fresh! I have only tried two of the sandwiches on the menu - a meatball and the Reuben, and both were perfect. Instead of having prepared meats ready to be made into sandwiches - like Subway and all the other chains - Big Apple Deli slices the meat right in front of you. Their soups are delicious as well...everything tastes so home made. Toledo needs more little places like Big Apple Deli to break up the monotony of having fast food restaurants on every corner. I'd come here for lunch every day if I could! read more

Unpretentious and feels like a NYC deli. They have beer. Had a very gooey Reuben - highly recommend it. read more
