Just ate here for the first time and was totally blown away. The Banh Mi sandwich was fantastic and the soup of the day was perfect (can't remember what it was called, but it had beans, corn, rice, etc.). My new favorite spot in Edwardsville! read more

First time eating at Ed's this afternoon and I was not disappointed. I've heard that it's a bit pricey but ... you get a massive amount of really good food = completely worth it. And truthfully, I did not find it pricier than comparable spots. I tried Garage Beer for the first time and it was a pleasant surprise. For food, I opted for the Club (no mayo) and my mom tried the Turkey (really incredible pesto on top). We both got chips but you can add on soup or salad for a small up-charge. The sandwiches are enormous! Fresh focaccia made them both out of this world. We each took half home. I also snagged some brown butter pecan bars for us too. Ahhhhmazing. Our server was extremely friendly and efficient. The space is clean and pretty open. A generous amount of bar seating if you go solo. Will recommend and definitely return! read more

I was so happy to be working in Illinois for the day so I could finally stop by Ed's Delicatessen. The staff was very welcoming when I walked in and I opted to enjoy a dine-in solo lunch. I tried the Japanese hot dog paired with Zapp's voodoo chips. The flavors were so good and it was a pretty substantial hot dog I had to take some home with me. I will definitely be popping back in next time I'm in the area. read more

Conveniently located at downtown Edwardsville, Ed's Delicatessen serves sandwiches, salads and soups. Ambiance is nice and service is good. Pricing is average. I ordered the fish sandwich ($21), that comes with chips. Ordering salad or fries to substitute will have a surcharge. My friend's beet reuben wasn't go. So stay away. read more

The sandwiches are huge! I love my chopped Italian sandwich with a creamy sauce and jalapeños. The perfect balance and I was full for hours afterward. They had spicy dill chips to boot! My friend had the ham and cheese which was similarly large. I would definitely come back for the food. The only downside is it was so loud inside my friend and I couldn't hear each other, so I might get the food to-go next time. read more

Ed's is a deli for adults. You can enjoy a classic delicatessen sandwich while you sip on a masterfully made cocktail. I've done lunch twice at Ed's and both were off the charts. My first lunch was, Chopped Cheese Sandwich and Brussels Sprouts Salad with an Old Fashioned Cocktail. OMG - The Chopped Cheese was an Off Menu Special and it totally rocked my tastebuds. If I have heard the gossip correctly, it became so popular that it is now on the regular menu. Also, the Brussels Sprouts Salad had me wondering, why I didn't like this vegetable when I was a child. It is now one of my favorite veggies. My second lunch, a Reuben Sandwich with Black Bean Soup and my adult beverage was a Sazerac Royale. In my humble opinion, this was the absolute best Reuben I have ever had and the Black Bean Soup was equally as good. I swear, I am going to figure that Black Bean Soup out and make it at home. I loved how they served my Sazerac Royale straight with a glass of ice on the side. Next time I've got to try the pastry case. I've drooled over the offerings, but have never tried any of them. I always sit at the bar and the bartenders offer awesome service. They cannot only advise you on your adult beverage, they can also describe and make recommendations for you food order. Ed's Delicatessen is the place to lunch in Edwardsville. read more

Wow! We must have been living under a rock for the last year and a half....this place is outstanding!! Stopped in for the first time today to grab some lunch, and the food was so so good! I had the chicken salad and my husband had the Reuben and tomato soup. We had great table service and all the employees we interacted with were very nice. We are looking forward to going back and sitting at their great bar!! Oh, and on the way out, we got two chocolate chip cookies...definitely DO NOT skip trying those! read more

Such a great addition to the downtown area! A friend and I went in for lunch on a Thursday and were sat right away. They have sit down service and takeaway. The prices are more than your typical sandwich shop, but the quality justifies the price. We got the fried bologna and chicken salad sandwich to split, then upgraded to the Brussels and cucumber salads. Everything was amazing!! You can tell how much care was put into every single menu item. Our server was kind and made sure our drink was filled. This was the perfect semi-casual lunch spot. Highly recommend! read more

When I need somewhere new to eat or I'm out of town, I scroll through Yelp, I have done this for years. This is the actual first time I've ever wrote a review. Give this place a try it is amazing. The only review that was interesting was someone has said it was really good but too expensive. I just had an amazing meal that made me completely full and with a tip I spent $22. So maybe I don't eat here every day but I will be here again soon! Bonus points are they have plenty of gluten free options! Staff was very friendly and atmosphere was great. read more

Can't believe it took me so long to hear about this spot. I had the chopped Italian sandwich and wedge salad. They had an awesome line up of sandwiches. They offer some small plates at dinner time. The cocktail program looks good. They also offer a line up of homemade desserts. What a great addition to the Edwardsville food scene. They have street parking and a lot close by. The service was so helpful with what items to order. Can't wait to come back. read more

Not impressed. I had somewhat high expectations based on other reviews. Our server (male) was unfriendly and rude. Sandwiches were decent with a bag of chips. At a sit down place at least open the bag and put it on the plate. Really let down by the dessert apple crisp served in a plastic tub. Wouldn't put on a plate and warm up when asked. Overall not worth the hype. read more

Food was great, but I want to talk about service. It's hard going out to eat with a toddler. The Ed's staff was amazing with us. They were waving at our toddler from behind the counter and smiling at him constantly. They put a rush on our kids meal so it came out as soon as it was done, and they were so kind with us. I am so grateful for a place like Ed's where we felt welcomed so warmly. read more

Had wanted to try this place for awhile and it did not disappoint! For sandwiches and salads, the menu is diverse! A surprisingly good amount of vegetarian options that doesn't only include salads. I was with a 4 top and no one left unsatisfied. The Rueben was large and in charge, the Banh Mi was packed with flavor and texture and the Falafel burger and Martine salad left my vegetarian friends wanting more! Service was friendly and attentive and never kept us waiting! read more

I tried this place in Edwardsville and it was good, but a little too expensive for my blood. $18 for a cold cut deli sandwich is a bit much for my budget. The sandwiches are huge and everything is made in house or sourced locally, but it is too much to spend $20 bucks for a cold sandwich with chips. Now if sandwiches are your thing, these unique sandwich combinations may be up your alley, but be prepared to pay handsomely. The place is clean and the service was fine, but it was a little too expensive for me to patronize on a regular basis. read more

I've been to Ed's four times now, but this was my first dine-in experience. I consider myself somewhat of sandwich snob but Ed's never disappoints. If you love a great sandwich, you've got to give Ed's a try. All of the menu is unique and everything we've tried so far started and ended with a Wow! Easy 5 Stars and I'm thrilled to have a place this excellent in Edwardsville. By the way, the cocktails are fabulous too. Looking forward to going back at night. read more

I love delicatessen's and when I heard about Ed's in Edwardsville, it was definitely on the list to try. It did not disappoint! The vibe was kind of cool hipster, but laid-back as well. Our server was thoughtful and kind and patiently answered all of our questions. The sandwiches we got were upscale versions that were done immaculately. I also tried the tomato soup and it was delicious. It is definitely a place that is a delicatessen but done with a different spin as there were multiple adult beverages and the sandwiches had their own special tweaks on them. Not your standard New York style deli, but certainly within the genre of a deli. A place to have a nice dinner out or you could go and hang and sit at the bar and enjoy a drink. This is a can't miss place! read more

Can you stop in a deli for takeout dessert? Yes, you can, and so we did. We received a friendly greeting as we arrived, and smiles from several staff, which encouraged some questions and conversation. We ended up with a very good peanut butter cookie and lemon bar. As others have noted, the layout still carries the aura of 222 Artisan bakery, but with some new touches. Thanks, Ed's Deli, for a good first visit. read more

I'm pleasantly surprised at how upscale Ed's is! It was the perfect spot for girl's night, and would be great for a date too. I had the ham and cheese - the baguette was toasted perfectly and the added cornichons were a welcome surprise. The shaved brussels salad is a must order. I wish I'd had room for dessert, as the selection looked mighty tasty! read more

My husband and I love Ed's. It is full of absolutely fantastic food and stand up people! Everyone who works there is so nice and every meal has been to die for. Chef Heath's undeniable passion for food is evident in all of his creations. He's a genuinely kind person who also happens to be extremely talented, a killer combo second only to the amazing soup/salad/sandwich combos he and his team serve up! Ed's is absolutely one of our favorite spots and has been a great addition to Edwardsville. I've ordered tons of different things but I'm obsessed with the brussels salad, chopped Italian special, and their Saturday morning breakfast sammies. The fish sandwich special is so good that we come every time it's available. Make sure to check out this gem of a spot, you'll be glad you did! read more

Great Food Great Service! Good cocktails. Moderate noise level. Ask for Rosa to wait on you.

If you're stopping through Edwardsville, then definitely check this place out. What a great find! The service was attentive, and the employees were so friendly. I had the turkey sandwich, and it was amazing. I wish I could have another to take home on the plane. I loved their selection of craft sodas, too. If I could offer a suggestion, I think that they should have in-house made chips rather than a bag of Lays. Good chips really round out the meal. If you're local, then support them and spread the word. Some cities would love to have a gem like this. read more

When I heard that this new deli was opening in town AND that one of the partner's is Ed Heath, founder and formerly of Cleveland - Heath, I knew something good was coming. I was right. It sits in the location which was formerly occupied by 222 Artisan Bakery. Some of it looks similar - at least in lay out. - but it is newer and brighter. You can get your food to go or they have tables in what was the former Artisan side room where you can get table service. They also have a liquor license - thus the bar. I ordered the Chicken sandwich which was $16 and came with a good sized sandwich and a bag of chips. The quality was excellent and it had a breaded, boneless thigh which had been cut into large chunks with cheddar cheese, bacon and ranch dressing. My companion had the "Brussel's"salad, $9, which was an incredible creation! Shredded Brussel's sprouts, cashews, and other vegetables tossed very lightly in a type of salty lemon dressing and covered in Parmesan. I would order this again in a heart beat! Both items were plenty for each of us at lunch time. The same quality which was instituted at Cleveland -Heath is now available in a slightly more casual fare delicatessen. read more

Loved the food, but a little pricey. Roast beef was very good, but for $18, it should come with more than chips. A smaller side would be good. Bread for sandwich was delicious. Roast beef was good, but a little fatty. It's Roast Beef Sandwich au jus, not with au jus. read more

I can't say enough positive things about this place. They started offering a breakfast sandwich during the farmers market on Saturday's. I wish I would have bought two! From the next level biscuit to the perfectly cooked bacon. It was one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've ever had. Which is quickly becoming the norm when I eat at Ed's. This place is special. read more

Excellent food! The sandwiches are decently sized. We tried the ham and cheese (came warm), cold cut and chicken salad. We loved them all! We did online pickup which was great. My only knock was that the online menu is not very descriptive. We got the cucumber salad as a side and it was very spicy and covered in cashews. I'd at least like to know what items have nuts. Other than that it was fantastic and we will be back! PS - get the peanut butter cookie! read more

Oh my god, it's so good. Been here twice now and I wish I could go once a week, at least. Everything I've tried has been so good, and done so well. The cold cut sandwich was more delicious than you could imagine a cold cut sandwich being. The olive orzo salad was perfect. Our server was very attentive. It's a great place to sit and have a nice lunch with friends. Love it here! read more

Now that I've tried half the menu I can say that Ed's doesn't create a mediocre sandwich or have an off day ever, whether you're dining in or getting takeout. Their updated takes on classics and original sandwiches are 10/10 every single time. I also cannot get enough of the wedge salad. The drinks are fantastic and whatever you do, DO NOT skip dessert. Edwardsville needed a deli and Ed's doesn't disappoint! read more

Foods decent but nothing special for the price. I think I was expecting a bit more from this place maybe more deli than upscale bar feel.
