I am a big believer in supporting local businesses. Even when I am home now on visits, I still try to do so. They have a nice organic selection as well. There were other times when I would just come here for lunch because they do an incredible deli sandwich! When you're here it's like you're family! That's just so very Pittsburgh. Go give them your money, get a yummy sandwich. You won't regret it.

I'm regularly coming in for a roast beef sandwich, lettuce, tomato, mayo on rye bread and they make it just the way I ask them because I'm fussy like that. But they smile and they laugh at me when I roll my eyes and tell them that I know I'm difficult. I truly appreciate that they have high-quality fresh produce, excellent meats, pantry staples, a quality selection of crackers and cookies, Bread Works bread, and the best local ice creams. But they also have ready to bake hors d'oeuvres and fancy little tidbits for a last-minute party. I don't know what our neighborhood would do without them.

Recently, a relative in the Pittsburgh area went through a medical procedure, so we wanted to send…read morethem some great food. Squirrel Hill Market came through. We ordered matzo ball soup, corned beef, knishes, and latkes--everything was fresh, comforting, and absolutely delicious. We also spoke with the owner, and it's clear he genuinely cares and knows his stuff. Being from NY and Philly, we know a good deli--and this one delivers. If you're in the Pittsburgh area, I highly recommend Squirrel Hill Market.

Absolutely incredible! This is the BEST cornbeef sandwich I've ever eaten. And trust me I've tried…read moremany. The meat was fresh, the Swiss cheese melted to perfection, and the rye bread was perfectly toasted. I did not miss the absence of toppings. The pickle was incredible!

I'm certainly going to be a repeat customer.

Stopped into Fat Butcher in Lawrenceville expecting just to grab some meat for the week, and ended…read moreup walking out with lunch too because everything looked too good to pass up! It's a proper neighborhood butcher shop on Butler Street, the kind of place that had mostly disappeared around here. They do whole animal butchery with meat sourced from local Pennsylvania farms, and you can feel how much the folks working there care about what they're doing. It's not a huge space, just a display case full of cuts, a wall of house made goods, and a small sandwich menu, but that's part of the charm. The staff were friendly and happy to point me in the right direction. The sandwiches are what really got me though. The smash burger is fantastic, a double patty on a challah bun with that special sauce, and you can actually taste the quality of the beef, which makes sense given the whole operation is built around good meat. I also grabbed some of their house made pastrami, and it did not disappoint, tender and full of flavor. Knowing everything is made in house, right down to the bacon and sausages, makes it even better. If you live nearby and don't have a butcher yet, this is the one.

First time in the shop! Very welcoming and helpful staff, I gave them an idea of what I wanted to…read moremake for dinner and they helped me pick the perfect cut of steak! Love the decor in the shop. There were many prepared food options in the fridge, as well as various cuts of meat/preparations of it. We got two sandwiches, the cheesesteak and the marbella. I dont think we ended up with the correct order because we didn't end up with a cheesesteak, but did not realize until we got home. I'm positive that if I went back to the shop they would've remedied the situation, but I didn't feel it was necessary! The sandwich we did end up with was good as well, unsure which one it was though. Very fair prices, and our dog was so happy we brought him home a bone as well! Looking forward to coming back and trying everything they have to offer.

His food is made-to-order and tastes fresh. We tried the steak hoagies with fries and pound cake. No disappointment in sight. Because it's made fresh, it does take some time, so plan accordingly. The space does not have seating so plan for takeout. There is outdoor seating on the side of Webster Hall. It is very tight and very clean. If you work in Oakland, go try Kevin's Deli on your lunch break, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Heck, I've been a customer since their start in the early 2000s. Whether buying ingredients from the market to cook at home or grabbing something from the restaurant, it's always delish.

They use high quality ingredients and you can purchase certain gourmet meats, cheeses, and crackers. I thought my sandwich was good, cheese lacked some flavor. I also agree with a lot of reviews that the price is steep for the amount of food you get (I got the lunch special because it included fries, which are normally a $2 add on to a $12-14 sandwich).
