Truly perfect Reuben with top notch homemade tasting corned beef. I got the 1,000 Island on the side (they actually give you enough) and it was above par as well. They have the best potato salad I've had anywhere besides my mom's. I often get a taste for potato salad, and am always disappointed since most places use Grandma's brand or something like it which is both too sweet and sour/mustardy at the same time. This is homemade with potato, lots of eggs, celery, mayo and maybe some dried mustard and celery seed. Hope they never change it. It's Just creamy potato/egg goodness. Also, the guys working the counter are on point, fast and friendly making it a pleasure to stop in. Bravo Diamond Deli!!!!! read more

Diamond Deli - Regular size Reuben Sandwich w/ 1,000 Island on the side and Potato Salad. - Delis Near Me - Akron, Ohio

Absolute favorite of mine. A lot of great sandwiches with silly names. So fun! I just wish they had a couple more sides.

Love love love this place. Great sandwich selection. Small and quaint but it's a deli so deal with it... owner and workers are super nice and always in a good mood. Amazing selection and the soups are fantastic. read more

Fresh, great selection, prices super reasonable. Top choice for a quick lunch regardless of price; but am even better option if you don't feel like spending a lot. Must Try: Chelsea (Amazing! Also super rich) Bald Guy Something with corned beef Quaint place. Family run with good character. Came during the lunch crowd, which they managed very well. Nice selection of local beer read more

A very good deli serving a very fine Pastrami sandwich with mustard and a pickle spear, Rubens, and a few other stalwart menu choices. A cream soda, was a perfect complement. A generous slice of moist and dense carrot cake rounded out my meal. read more

What's not to like about this place! I really don't think I can say anything that has not already been said; great food, great staff, reasonably priced, etc. etc. etc. When my buddies & I get together in Akron, this is definitely our "go to" place to eat. Each time I go there seems better than the time before. :) read more

My husband picked us up some Reuben's. The bread was soggy. The thousand islands has not taste. The corn beef has no flavor. The sauerkraut you couldn't even tell was on a sandwich. read more

Great place to eat, soups and chili are to die for it is small but very comfortable, if you want a great tasting lunch this is the place!

I got the old bald guy and it might be the best sandwich I've ever had! The staff was super friendly and helpful.

Came here my 2nd day in town and it's hard to go somewhere else! Every sandwich I've had is unbelievable, they have a forever customer out of me! Go support these guys, you will not be disappointed!!! read more

The pastrami slaps, service is always friendly and on their A game as the lunch rush can often be out the door but they keep it moving.

I love Diamond Deli. They have the best carrot cake in the city, yummy sandwiches and the staff is super cool. Can be very busy at lunchtime.. so try to go early or after 1pm. read more

I would give diamond deli 6 stars if I could. Everything about this place is amazing - the food, the staff, and the vibes. Sure, they are not open for dinner and the lines are routinely out the door, but there is a reason for that! Their portions are huge and the quality is top notch across the board. Everything on the menu is amazing and the variety they offer should provide something for everyone. As someone who works outside of the city, I only get to go when I have a day off of work, but make excuses to go whenever I am able! read more

Most. Amazing. Corned Beef. EVER! Hot, delicious, on grilled bread - so, so good! You walk down a line and give your order and watch them make it right in front of you. There are bags of chips if you want them, and a cooler with bottled drinks. DON'T MISS THE COOLER BY THE DOOR WITH THE DESSERTS! I honestly have never had a piece of carrot cake that good ever before. Soft, moist, great carrot flavor with tangy cream cheese icing - I don't know if I want to go back for the cake or the corned beef, both were so amazing! They have a small set of tables and booths, but it seems like most people are buying to go. Don't miss your chance at this Akron institution! read more

Diamond Deli - Carrot Cake. - Delis Near Me - Akron, Ohio

I ordered from here through door dash for the first time this week. I had never heard of the place before, but the combination of broccoli salad and a wrap sounded so good. Plus carrot cake never disappoints. That broccoli salad gave me liiiffffeeee no exaggeration necessary it's exactly how I would make broccoli salad at home. The wrap was so filling. And the carrots cake had such a great texture. After asking around at work, it turns out everyone I know absolutely loves this place as well as the people who run the business. I will definitely need to order from here again. read more

Good cornbeef sandwiches. The guys are really cool and the food comes quick. Only wish they stayed open later

Best Deli in Akron. Not even close. A family owns it, and their personalities are what I really go for. Love them a lot. Their sandwiches are named after their lives in Akron. Highly recommend them if an excellent deli is what you are searching for. If you don't know what to get, I recommend the Old Bald Guy. My absolute favorite, but I wish they had a JUMBO version . read more

food was awesome. sweet Melissa. service above n beyond. ambiance was a small town but busy feel. everyone was enjoying the customer service n surroundinags. read more

Hands down best Deli in Akron! The staff is wonderful, the food is never not incredible!!!!

Visiting from atlanta... Food was amazing, service and ambiance perfect... and did I say... the food was AMAZING! So good!

Top notch always! I'd eat every single meal there if I could. Fortunately, their hours won't allow me to do so.

It's been raining or snowing and cold in the CLE since last fall. Today, we bundled up and ventured out into the grey...to Diamond Deli in Akron. Home of the world's best Reuben. It's a hole in the wall, nothing fancy, but the corned beef is delicious. If I'm using calories on corned beef, I have no use for dry, crumbly, lean beef. Give me a greasy, yummy Sammie that I have to wrap up half and take home. They come in three different sizes, so if you want to really loaded up one and can eat the whole thing you've got that option here. Their potato salad taste better than my gram's. read more

Omg I love this place !!!!!! They have the best sandwiches soup's service is awesome I just wish they stayed open a little longer

Meets expectations. Food is great, service is slow. Takeout orders are rarely done and available on time. Calculate at least ten minutes from the estimated time and your food might be ready. read more

I've only been here a handful of times but I can say that I haven't been let down at all. I frequent Primo's as it's closer to my workplace and can say I prefer the pastrami and corned beef here. It's not as dry. I have yet to try anything from New York but I think here is a good place. If it wasn't so busy and closer to where I worked, I'd probably come here more often. I hate busy places because I don't like dealing with parking, especially when it's downtown. A stand out deli in Akron for sure. read more

This is probably my favorite place to go during lunch at work. They have AMAZING deli sandwiches, soup and desserts. My favorite sandwich is the Josh I made the deans list (they give a lot of their sandwiches fun names like that). A lot of the girls that I work with get the Turkey Rubin. The sandwiches are a very good portion size so you won't leave hungry. I typically get a small cup of potato salad from there and you can tell it is a homemade type taste, not store bought. The carrot cake is one of the desserts they have and it tastes absolutely amazing! The pieces of those are large as well. There is normally a line out the door especially during the summer, but it is totally worth it!! read more

I was leaving Rock Mill and wanted to grab dinner on the run but I know nothing about Akron. Hopped on Yelp and saw a deli nearby with high reviews and that was pretty much all the convincing I needed. With all the construction I thought I got myself lost but finally found it and walked into a somewhat dive-y sandwich shop with punk music playing- I instantly knew I found a gem. Slightly precarious and pretty odd was the fact that the bathroom door didn't have a lock, but I made it in and out incident free. The "I need to go back to healthy eating side of me" convinced me not to get the carrot cake (sad) but couldn't stop me from ordering the "Chelsea is this organic?" sandwich. There are so many creative and delicious sounding options here that I was truly overwhelmed. I think the staff might have gotten concerned for my mental sanity because I took so long to decide what to order. Anyway the guys working there were super friendly. They forgot to add my jalapenos but that's okay because I think they would have ruined the deliciousness that was my sandwich. Me, being the impatient food lover that I am, ripped open the foil on my walk back to my car and dug in (much to my chagrin and like I hadn't just eaten two hours prior). I literally had to stop on the street it was so delicious. I think I love you Diamond Deli. 10/10 would go back again and next time I'm in Akron I'm getting that damn carrot cake. Thanks for the great find Yelp. read more

This place is AWESOME. Great food and service. They have the best Reuben in Akron or Cleveland.

Came here for lunch and almost came back again for dinner. So good! Loved the family vibe, the owner was so friendly. The soda we wanted needed the syrup changed, he made sure to bring us it once it was changed out. All of the Akron memorabilia was great to see...way to support the local community. The sandwiches were just perfect. Stacked high...I don't know how they are making any money! I could only eat half. The meat was tender, the cole slaw was creamy, and the mustard had a nice spice kick to it. I had the matzo ball soup and it was so flavorful and satisfying, especially since I had a cold. read more
