Most Friday nights all year round they have line music & events as well! They usually have one special rotating menu item, but the rest is pretty standard. The menu is loaded with salads, appetizers, sandwiches, chilli and a breakfast burrito. Other fun items include banana bread and soft serve, which is great after a long bike ride. I've tried most of the menu items and they're all great. It's too bad they removed the mac-n-cheese because that was a perfect kid option.

I faced the impossible task of choosing a drink because everything on the menu looked and sounded delicious. In the end, I went with the salted caramel latte, modified as an Americano with a splash of half and half. It was excellent. Next time I'm in town, I hope I have time to stay for a meal because the food looked and smelled just as good as the coffee.

I enjoyed being in the building and it felt like a welcoming environment. We unfortunately were seated right next to the kitchen and had people always near our table. The service was okay, it was busy, but it was hard to get the refills and the check. The food was average. My girlfriend got a steak and egg breakfast bowl that I wish I had ordered. My sandwich was a little greasy and underwhelming with little flavor. It wasn't bad just not what I want from a place like this. The coffee was underwhelming. We both got separate drinks that tasted watered down. It didn't have a strong flavor or coffee taste. It was weird. Overall this is a cool place, but for the price and quality there are better options.

It's fine, I just never have a great time here. Still worth a try…read more *This ISNT a dive bar* A bar with $6 rails, pastas, salmon, steak, and updated interior is nowhere near a dive bar. Apologies, I saw many reviews calling it one... Service was friendly but if you aren't someone who is going to yell for them vs. make eye contact with an empty glass in front of you- may not be for you. Food has always been fine. Sometimes the portion is terrible. The pasta dish I just had the noodles were cooked perfectly al dente and I thought it was a fair enough amount of steak for the price. But the sauce was flavorless and it was advertised as cajun. Clean bathrooms and updated medium scale Americana bar decor. I'd like to emphasize nothing was wrong/bad. But it also isn't good and it isn't a cheap place where I don't mind it just being *fine.*

It's been a few years since my last review of Crossroads Deli, but my rating remains high. Their…read morematzo ball soup is one of the best versions available in the Twin Cities. Today I tried their Roast Beef on Weck, which is carved roast beef on a type of roll called a Weck (a Kaiser-style roll topped with coarse salt and caraway seeds.). The restaurant was busy, and this is not a trendy place! I'd be surprised if there was anyone in the restaurant who was not of Medicare age (which also describes me; I'm not being ageist, just truthful). This is something that is available for lunch, during the week (not on weekends). Previously, I wanted to order this before. It was at the beginning of the lunch hour, so unfortunately the end pieces were cooked well-done. I asked if they would cut from the center, which is much more rare, but they wouldn't do that. This time, we came later and I could see that the roast beef was gloriously rare, which is what I like. The sandwich was quite enjoyable because it was juicy and flavorful. It comes with a side of cole slaw which is vinegar based (which I liked, but isn't traditional in the Midwest). It's difficult to find good, rare roast been in the Twin Cities, so this was another good find. My wife had the matzo ball soup, which remains high quality. The beef on weck sandwich (with coleslaw) was nearly $20, which is a bit on the expensive side. The service is spotty. It depends upon who is your waitstaff person (I knew it would be slow based on our previous experience with this person).

I have been coming to Crossroads Deli for over 25 years. September 2024, the brothers ( Scott and…read moreStu) sold the business to a corporation which owns approximately 5-6 other restaurants. I immediately started to worry. Unfortunately my worries have slowly " come true" ...and with an extremely upset heart, Crossroads has changed. Scott and Stu had dedication and sheer love of cooking and baking with the BEST of ingredients and exquisite rare perfect use of spices. Their flavors in everything they touched were some of the VERY BEST I have experienced nationally and in my home state of NY where my father taught Biochemistry in the Bronx at Einstein Med School (1955-1980) and where my intense passion for Delicatessen cuisine originated. Coming almost daily to Crossroads truly made my day! I adored EVERYTHING they created. Even shipped a large lemon coconut cake to mom's beloved 90 year old boss at Scarsdale Medical Center 8 years ago! Today: Their rye bread with caraway seeds was identical to Grossinger's. Now almost zero flavor. The broasted chicken if served hot fresh out of the cooker is still excellent. Some of the original spices gone. The lemon coconut cake has zero real lemon flavor just deep yellow coloring, Their pastrami and corned beef also lost 1/3 to 1/2 of their original flavor plus the size of the sandwiches 1/3-1/2 the original size. The new main dishes are almost tasteless. Their original recipes for matzo ball soup, etc are still good - - vary 8-10 rating. They no longer use as much/ perhaps any butter in their coffee cake " breads" which used to be a 10. Many cookies and tiny pastries in the same display case are still good. Compared to many other restaurants today they are now just " an ok". Gone are the days when Crossroads Deli was " TRULY SPECTACULAR "......
