I had been meaning to try this place for a while after a friend told me how good it was. Months later, I decided to come for lunch. I heard that it's busy around noon, so my friend and I stopped by around 11:40 on a Friday. There were already tons of people eating in here and a few others waiting for food. We didn't wait long in line as there was only one person in front of us. I had to get me the Reuben! They've got three sizes: baby, regular, or jaw breaker. I got the baby Reuben which was the perfect size! At $10.50, it was a pretty good price. We waited maybe 5-7 minutes before we got our food. Yum! It's tasty! The meat was fresh and they place the 1000 island dressing on the side so you can slather it on there yourself. I was full! A guy told me he's gotten the jaw breaker before and had to share it. Good to know! My friend got onion rings which were huge and thick! A little over $3 didn't seem like a bad deal to me. The place is interesting. It looks like a diner. Black and white tiles, red cushions on the seats. There are plenty of tables to eat at if you decide to dine in. They've got some patio seating as well! Not sure when I will return but this is one of my favorite spots downtown now! read more

Came in on a Monday for lunch while on recess from court across the street. The place was bumping and the wait staff seemed a bit overwhelmed, yet everything worked out just fine. Ordered from the 'Summer Menu' a berry salad with chicken. The presentation was great and the lettuce was excellent. Not sure what leaf it was, but it sure wasn't iceberg. The strawberry vinegarette dressing was a real delight, as were the candied pecans. The chicken was nothing to write home about, but overall I was very pleased and would come back again if I were in the area. I'm hoping that doesn't happe read more

Rating based on a Uber Eats order: I ordered the Tuna Salad on white with the Mac Salad as a side. The Tuna was simple and delicious! Creamy, with a hint of onion, pickle, egg, a d the fresh Tuna! Yum! The Macaroni Salad was solid too. It was also Creamy, with zesty mustard, eggs, jalapeño, carrots. All and all, it was a great lunch! I'll order from here again. read more

I went here during a busy Thursday lunchtime. My friend and I were greeted quickly by our very kind and attentive server. She also had a sweet tattoo, so that was cool. Anyway, I usually get the Reuben here, which is fantastic, but thought I'd branch out and get the turkey club. It was really tasty and a huge sandwich. I'm glad I tried something new. My friend got the buffalo chicken salad and it looked amazing. Danny's is an institution, and you're likely to see all kinds of movers and shakers having lunch. Pretty sure I saw a state rep and an Ohio Supreme Court justice grabbing lunch in the short time I was there. Overall, I love this place, and will surely be back again. read more

What a joke this place is. I went for the first time. First you have to navigate down to the parking structure to get to the place. I asked for a chicken salad sandwich. Nope. They were out of chicken salad. Ok how about a tuna sandwich. Nope out of that too. Ok. How about an egg salad sandwich. Nope. Out of that too. They should be embarrassed. I gave up and got out of there. read more

First time, and I'm gonna to say last as well. Ordered a Ruben sandwich (the menu Makes you think you're getting corned beef and pastrami, but you're only getting corned beef apparently... they didn't offer a choice when I ordered, so I guess they just decide). And it's also the most bland and underwhelming corned beef I've ever had. I thought it was bland roast beef, but my receipt says it's corned beef. There was barely any sauerkraut as well. And for $17 would think it would be a large sandwich.... it's pretty small. No thanks. read more

We went into Danny's for lunch this week and found it to be a capable, quick-service lunch spot. The place was busy but the staff did a good job managing our group. The menu is bigger than I thought it would be. I ordered the New Yorker, consisting of corned beef, Swiss cheese, and slaw on rye. The sandwich itself tasted good, but the meat was a bit drier than I expected. The potato wedges as a side were solid as well. The pricing is fair, but with a side (not included) and a drink it got up near $20. I'd recommend going here if you need a quick lunch in Columbus! read more

I'm from Cleveland and an original Danny's Deli patron Excited when they opened in Columbus and enjoyed every visit at first When owners changed so did the food The corned beef was extremely fatty so I gave up and stopped going here and always went back to Cleveland My latest trip to Cleveland I found Danny's closed l was stunned Just this week I tried Danny's Delicious Deli and found it still not like it should have Danny's name on it The corned beef was extremely dry and with the platter there were 12 fries, yes I counted I will not go there again read more

New owners have done a number on this place. Used to be a huge fan but whatever this is...it ain't it. This was my $15 corned beef that was served to me cold and lacking any color. Looked like thick cut Arby's meat or something. Sadly they increased the price and give us less product and even worse quality. Make the drive to Cleveland if you want the real deal. read more

Danny's Delicious Deli - Sickly looking corned beef the color of Arby's - Delis Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Danny's deli is sort of hidden in the basement of a typical downtown office building (though they do have a separate below grade entry way) off Broad. In a nutshell, good food, decent prices, above average portions, brusque service, subterranean setting equals a good place to grab lunch/snack to take to nearby park or back to workplace. One sandwich ($11-14) was too much food for one but ok for 2 to share. The meats tasted great with just the right amount of moisture. The setting felt like a 50's school cafeteria with lots of signs about what "not to do" (don't lean on this, set items on that, etc.). Enjoy the Capitol nearby or the riverfront park instead. read more

I love, love, love Reuben. If I see Reuben sandwich on the menu, I will always order it. I read great review of this restaurant. This restaurant is a bit weird because if you enter from one side of the street, you enter into an office building. You will have to take an elevator to P1, walk through a door and turn right. There is no signage from that side of the street. It feels like walking into a jail in a basement. But if you enter from the other side of the street which is right next to the garage exit, you could walk into the restaurant right away. It is not a big restaurant. You could order carryout or dine in. The dining area has a 50's dining feel. We ordered a regular size (medium) Reuben sandwich with corned beef and pastrami for carryout. It came with a small pickle in a bag. The bread was pan fried nicely on both side with a crunch. It came with good portion of meat. I can't complain about the meat ratio. I wish it came with twice the amount of sauerkraut. Warning: this is a messy and greasy sandwich. Eat with caution :) However the people who work there are not the friendly bunch. I would never dine in as I don't expect great service for sure. I would not mind just order takeout. read more

The sandwiches are great if your server-- makes your sandwich the way you asked--. Today my server Taylor J DID NOT . -I phoned the order in at 8m -I'm a picky eater so when I ask for thousand island dress & Spices brown mustard on the side - that's what I want!! I called the deli to explain how disappointed I was at lunch Taylor J had no apology or empathy-- she had a rude defensive tone ...just "well I didn't hear you ask for the condiments " I was looking forward to my sandwich but it was lackluster and DRY read more

My Boss needed a last-minute catering order for a meeting and he needed it within an hour! I have catered many meetings in our office, but I had not used one of my favorite downtown spots - Danny's Delicious Deli. Dannys is just a short walk away so I wouldn't need delivery. I called hoping they could accommodate us for such a last-minute request. And, of course, they did!!! I ordered boxed lunches that came with a variety of sandwiches, chips, a deli pickle and an awesome chocolate chip cookie. Even more impressive was the price!!!! It was way less expensive than any of my past orders from other restaurants!! Kudos Danny's! read more

This restaurant serves breakfast and lunch until 3PM (serves typical American style breakfast and burgers). If you have been to Denny's restaurant, this is a local version of Denny's franchise restaurant. They are located in downtown Columbus, one of the decent low budget restaurants. Six of us went to eat breakfast and our eggs and bacon were cooked just right (nothing was overcooked or undercooked). That showed me this restaurant has a decent cook. They are a bit short on hall staff (this is a common problem for many small businesses in US at this time) but my server was friendly and attentive. If you stay in a hotel nearby and want to eat traditional American breakfast or brunch without paying overpriced hotel breakfast, this might be one of the restaurants, you should consider. Here are tips: - No decaffeinated coffee - Reasonably priced food - Close at 3PM - 80's style decor - Attentive service (during busy hours their service might be slow) - Public parking (with fee) is limited read more

Had a takeout order for a grand slam breakfast (french toast, bacon and 2 eggs) today. Excellent food, shockingly good even. It's obvious but you can tell this isn't just some chain restaurant. It tastes like something your mom might make at home (in a good way). Very good prices on everything too, you can't complain. The service was quick and the restaurant had a small classic diner feel. Will definitely be back! read more

What kind of public middle school food is this! I am highly disappointed. I got the chicken sandwich with coleslaw and fries. For one the chicken was 3 chicken strips and some nasty soggy bread. The fries was even worst cause it wasn't crispy. I am highly disappointed at the lack of effort they put into this food. At least make it look like you tried. Times are hard but food don't have to be this hard !!! This is the last time I order from here. There should be a zero star given, sad absolutely sad ! However, Thank you for your services. read more

This corned beef was top notch. I actually had a diff corned beef sandwich from down the street while I was in town and then immediately regretted it after I had Danny's. I was literally sad that my sandwich was over. It was just fatty enough to be flavorful and moist, not dry at all, and the rye was perfect and soft. Honestly, there aren't many places that make it right, and if you grew up eating proper Jewish deli corned beef sandwiches, you won't be disappointed. Matzo balls were sinkers not floaters, which I prefer. But to each his own. read more

I've been here once before with my boss. This time was to meet a coworker. My appointment was running late. The owner suggested I grab a table while I could - good advice. The waitress was super sweet and attentive. She kept my DIET PEPSI (YAY!) filled. I ordered the cranberry salad again and it was just as fabulous as before. I decent helping of greens with great toppings and flavorful chicken. While I hate dropping $13+ for lunch, I do it so rarely and this salad is so good - I look forward to doing so again! read more

Danny's Deli is a staple in downtown Columbus. I have been dining here over the lunch hour for probably 8 years now. They know how to do sandwiches and soups! But keep your eye out because you might miss Danny's! It is in a downstairs location and isn't very conspicuous. Another tip: get there early or late if you're going for lunch because they tend to get super busy because the food is just spectacular. I recommend the corned beef but I think anything one might try at Danny's should be superb. There is no readily available parking so if you're checking this place out and you're NOT in a downtown location, you may want to consider taking the Cbus who has a stop nearby or planning ahead for parking. But definitely get to Danny's! You will be happy you did! read more

A big city delicatessen in Columbus Ohio? Indeed. Towering corned beef sandwiches, of course, but a whole lot more. Open for breakfast and lunch, this workingman's restaurant serves legions of downtown employees. A walk-up counter as well as table service, Danny's does not disappoint. Parking is a challenge, though there are a few meters and an attached garage. Most people walk over from downtown office towers or walk a few blocks to get here. Sandwiches, soups, salads, and specials of all kinds. Availability of fountain and bottled sodas..a welcome mix of brands. Great breakfast foods in the morning; solid lunches in the afternoon. All ready for eat-in or carry out. Note of caution: this is one of the places where you occasionally smell like the food for the rest of the day due to somewhat dated ventilation in this basement bistro. Not awful, but if you are one of those who dry cleans stuff every five minutes, you might want to carry out or leave your jacket on the back of your chair. Eat up! read more

I checked out this place last week when I took a half day. It was my only chance to try it, since they're only open during the week until 3 pm. I'll start out by saying that if you don't work downtown and can walk over to this place, it's a real pain in the ass to find parking. I parked on Broad at a 30 minute spot and rushed over to get in, get my order, and get out. That's nothing against the deli, but it's fair warning to anyone wanting to scope this place out during the week. Like other reviewers have said, the restaurant has a Broad St address, but it actually faces out onto Front St. Once I got in there, it reminded me of some of the delis I'd been to in New York City. It was very busy with Columbus lunch break in full affect, but I had scoped out the menu ahead of time and knew I wanted the "baby" Reuben. The guy at the counter was brusque, but with how many orders and people coming in, he didn't have much time for bullshit. My order was out in about 5-10 minutes. This may be the smallest size Reuben they have, but it's still pretty bulky. Unless you're starving, this sandwich could definitely fill you up. And the corned beef? Phenomenal. That was some of the best corned beef I've had anywhere. The sauerkraut and Swiss, along with the delicious rye bread it was on, made for a great Reuben. You can get a side of Thousand Island with it, but it honestly didn't really need it. I'm not sure if I'll get back to Danny's again. Not because I didn't love my sandwich, but the logistics simply don't work out for me. If I worked downtown, I'm sure I'd be here all the time. They have a fairly large menu as well, so I'm disappointed I probably won't get to try the rest of it. If you work downtown and have never been here, you're missing out on a great spot. read more

DEREK: Hands down the best corned beef I've ever had. JAWBREAKER! Troy?? TROY: What can I say, they do what they do very well...and that is make a killer reuben. It's really good. Or just get the corned beef sandwich and drown it in the mustards they offer. A New York sandwich in Cowtown. DEREK: I envy anyone working downtown that has easy access to the "Corned Beef Paradise" in Columbus. I have actually made special trips to Danny's before work to show off the mighty Jawbreaker to my coworkers in Grove City. TROY: The sandwiches are worth talking about, but I wasn't impressed with the breakfast, 2 eggs over corned beef over homefries. Maybe the sandwich slices didn't translate to the hash category as well...maybe next time I'm down there I will have to get the pancakes or french toast (what no waffle?!) or just stick to the old faithful yummy reuben. Deke, what other sandwich did you enjoy? DEREK: I will admit to all that I have been numerous times and have failed to try another selection off the menu and probably never will. The melt in your mouth freshly sliced corned beef is just flat out killer. Danny's satisfies my corned beef sandwich addiction every time. TROY: I like Katzinger's reuben too, they have good corned beef, but at Danny's They're Gr-r-reat! read more

Danny's Delicious Deli - Jawbreaker - Delis Near Me - Columbus, Ohio

Though my food was ok, I walked out paying $20 for half a sandwhich and a salad, yikes! AND I was still hungry, not a great way to leave lunch. I had the spinach salad with hot bacon dressing, while it was delicious, very fresh and who doesn't love hot bacon, fresh mushrooms, def good stuff! My husband had the combo with pastrami and corned beef on soggy rye bread, he paid extra to have it hot and they could really at least toast the bread, sure it was alot of meat but on tow half slices of bread and for $10 thats crazy. He added a side of onion rings and fries, the fries weren't great but the rings pretty good. Parking is complete crap, we've treid to come here several times and not gotten a spot, finally we were lucky enough to find something, but now we know it's not worth coming back to for that money, the service is fast and very firendly they just need to rethink their prices and portions sizes, half that would still be too expensive for what they are serving, I'd rather go to Katz's anyday! read more

Strange thing happened- my review somehow disappeared and I know I did not violate any of the Yelp guidelines. Being from Cleveland, I am very familiar with the quality of Danny's Deli. HOWEVER, as some have pointed out, since the one here was sold, the corned beef in my opinion drastically changed and in one word is horrible. A real shame!!!! As you can see, I once reviewed Danny's and loved it. read more

I love their patty melt but wasn't a huge fan of any of the soups. The fries were decent and I find Danny's convenient for a quick breakfast or lunch to take back to work. They are always super quick and have never messed up any of my takeout orders, which is pretty impressive considering how packed they are at lunchtime. read more

Danny's deli has been supplying downtown employees with breakfast and lunch for years! While the decor could use a refresh and update the food and service are exactly what you need and expect at the busy deli. It does get very busy, all tables taken, can't really turn around busy. All the wait staff know this and they do a great job with the crowd but keep in mind that it will take a bit longer if you go in the middle of the rush about 11-1. The food here is good, solid and usually plenty to really fill you up. My recommendation for salad is either cranberry or Greek, add some chicken or gyro meat. Best sandwiches are the Reuben or Mary's Favorite. Their cookies are pretty good too, always fresh. If you get a drink, they are very good about keeping it full. This is just a good, busy deli that knows what's up. read more

Danny's is a fairly large restaurant even though it's sort of hidden. It's got all matched tables and chairs and the tables all have condiments on them. The staff was very friendly even though it was my first visit. I ordered a Pastrami reuben. The pastrami was very good and there was plenty of it. The rye bread was good, although I believe it came from a grocery-store type loaf. It was served with a quarter pickle and a bottle of Russian dressing. I had to ask for another pickle and I know a lot of folks who would wear the waitress out getting a quarter of a pickle at a time. And oh, the pickles were Clausen-type pickles, not the kind that come out of the barrel. Parking was a bitch! I had to park over a block away and feed the meter. I'm sure the folks that have to walk to the deli only do so when the weather is good. Thus I knocked off a star because of the location. And they're only open until 3:00 pm so no dinner hours unfortunately. I think Danny's is more of a sandwich shop than a deli. No meat and cheese case, for example and no dessert case, no canned or bottle condiments, no bread case. I'd say their pastrami is on par with Katzinger's. And ditto for the bread. But the lack of free parking and their hours puts them a couple of notches down the pole. read more

I love Danny's Deli because they have wonderful sandwiches like their famous Corned Beef. When I go there, I always get the Mary's Favorite with roast beef, swiss cheese, and grilled onions on grilled rye bread; and their great onion rings and Diet Dr. Pepper. Mary's Favorite makes me happy. Their deli sandwiches are big as your hand and it takes 2 hands to eat the sandwich. They have wraps, burgers, chicken sandwiches, salads, and serves breakfast until about 10:30 or 11 am. There always busy on St. Patrick's Day with their famous Corned Beef (pounds and pounds of it). Same thing with the original location in Cleveland, too. I enjoy going to Danny's Deli for lunch on occasion when I crave it. read more

The place is crowded and small so you need to get there early like before 11:30 to beat the rush. I'm giving Danny's only 3 stars. The reason is their portion size. I had the Anna's Club Sandwich. It was tasty but it was small for price. I've had bigger Deli sandwiches for less money that tasted better (such as at Cataland Kuzina in Westerville). I highly recommend going there. For the small size sandwich that came with a deli pickle, it was $10.50. And that's all you get no fries or sides. I've been to places that for the same or less they give you a bigger sandwich and a side. I don't plan on going back for overpriced and undersized food portions. But what I had did taste good it just didn't fill me up. I was still hungry. Sorry Danny. read more

I go for the hot pastrami. It's like a wet bacon sandwich..minus most of the grease. But what good is pastrami without a little flavor? I have had pastrami at other places, Danny's is the best. Also....they know how to cook a french fry!! Seriously, the guy cooking fries should have a fry clinic, and teach places like McDonalds, Max & Ermas, etc...how to cook fries !!! They are never greasy, always crispy, but never burnt...PERFECT FRIES EVERY TIME !! Service is awesome, just sit down, and a waitress is there within seconds. read more

I do not visit Danny's very often because it is a bit pricey. However, when I do visit I always buy the Hot Corned Beef sandwich ($9) due to its deliciousness! They offer a 'jawbreaker' version, which I have not tried since the regular size is big enough! The place offers both sit-down service and carryout - makes it very nice for choices! The sit-down service is usually really good even on crowded days. I have to admit that their fries are okay - not the biggest fan of them. I wish they were salted because after eating half the pack my palate gets bored with eating them. If you happen to be in the Capital Square area visiting the Statehouse or other local venues, I highly recommend Danny's Deli for a different kind of experience! 4/5 stars read more

Best Columbus downtown lunch spot. Period. ***Warning*** If you like Reubens, you should avoid Danny's Deli. It will completely destroy your ability to enjoy Reubens at any other restaurant. Danny's Deli's Reuben is better than Katzinger's, Barry's (in the North Market), Old Bag of Nails, Mac's, or Betty's. The massive pile of corned beef is so lean and juicy that you might pass out because it's so good. Unfortunately, Danny's location is tough to get to, tough to find, and he is only open for breakfast and lunch. But if you're near Broad and Front St., go one-half block on Front, south of Broad (Front is one-way, North). Meters on Front are available at lunch. They're probably off limits at breakfast. read more
