It is VERY understandable that Blues City Deli has achieved a 5 star rating on Yelp. It was great…read more I read in my preview that the line to the counter is always there...but it moves quickly...and it is and does. I had to visit Blues City as I heard they have great Po Boys...and they do. I am used to having oysters or shrimp on a Po Boy. Not here. They are basically served with many versions of meat. I had the Benton Park Po Boy and it was incredible. The sandwich has ham, roast beef, turkey, provel, and is dressed with lettuce, tomato, pickle, onion, pepperoncini, sweet red pepper sauce on french bread. My wife, being vegetarian had the Panino Fresco. It included mozzarella, provolone, dressed with homemade olive salad, tomato, onion & Italian vinegar oil on an Italian roll. This was the first time in 26 years that she finished the entire sandwich. I had a bite of hers, and it is easy to see why she she finished it. So good. I even bought a memorable t-shirt as I loved Blues City Deli. The female counter person was so friendly. She even wrote down three other restaurants to try while we were visiting St Louis. Blues City Deli is a can't miss place and if we are back in St. Louis...we will be back.

Great sandwiches, quick line and service. Sandwich was big enough to save other half for later…read more Perfect place to grab a bite before the brewery tour. Indoor and outdoor seating. We ate in our car, no spots available. Benton Park is up and coming.

After we ordered coffee, they looked at us and told us it would be 5-10 minutes. They had no milk and were out of creamer. Again, authentic to the community - you should order black coffee here & not past 8:30z As we sat & I realized, I leaned in and said, did you realize it's almost 11:00? Honestly, neither of us realized until after we sat down that the breakfast rush was long over and they were essentially brewing a pot just for us. They were very nice & accommodated but, boy did I feel bad once it dawned on me. Enjoyed both our bagel & knish.

There are a couple of places to sit but not many, the seats were all full when we were there and one gentleman just stood next to a shelf and ate. When we got our food, the seating was still full so we sat outside even though it was chilly. I ordered a 6" Italian Po Boy with giardiniera. It's a decent sandwich, the giardiniera gives it a little kick. I am not a fan of bagged lettuce as it always has a certain taste, next time I should go with no lettuce. Good bread, not stingy with the meat. Love a local spot.

But after having the Mississippi Nights Club while out with my family (they're from here, I'm from the south), it's astonishing just how compelled I was to install the app and leave a review because that club + soup was UNANIMOUSLY amongst our party of 3, the best sub I have ever been blessed enough to try in my life!!! Whatever yall are doing, keep it up!!! Can't wait to bring my friends from down here over to try it when we make our way back north!!

The second time, I went in-person, and the service was great again. I had the Alcatraz and the Havana and the mac n' cheese. I ordered a whole sandwich so I could take half home. Reasonable prices. I hear that the meatball sub is huge, and all the sandwiches are generous portions. The table tent said there's live music at night, but we went at lunchtime. We sat inside as it was a bit chilly, but I was curious to see the patio. I'm getting hungry now -- I might have to eat at The Gramophone tomorrow! Definitely recommend!

Good news / bad news…read more The good: Ordered a Rachael (pastrami ruben) on rye to go. It was huge and very tasty. The meat was mostly small pieces (instead of slices), which was a little disappointing, but it tasted great and would highly recommend it. The bad: The rye bread soaked up sandwich juices and was very soggy. Couldn't pick it up at all and ended up eating it with a fork. Will be back, but only to eat in.

Ok. People love LeGrand's. I'm not knocking it, but I don't love sandwiches, and I don't eat meat,…read moreso I'm just not going to have the same sort of experience here that others do. And that's ok. It's like a really big deli or corner store. Size is great. Most of the St. Louis staple snacks are available. Some frozen pizza I thought about buying and then changed my mind. Plenty of candy. A good selection of Calypso flavored lemonade. I think I bought peach on my visit this 3/14 Day. Maybe one day I'll be in a sandwich mood and I'll have a LeGrand's something or other.

First, I love that this is a locally family owned and run Busines. We tried the Zach and the Meatball sandwich. The Zach was packed with turkey, cheese and pesto. The Meatball sandwich is honestly one of the Top 10 Meatball sandwiches in STL! It truly highlights the famous Vitale Sauce/Gravy recipe! One bit and you can feel the love and the time and effort it takes to simmer all day. Definitely will return soon!!

I had passed this small deli in Glendale dozens of times while driving in to Kirkwood. I've always…read morehad a soft spot for delis, so it was just a matter of time before I stopped in. One Saturday I took my kids to Kirkwood park and decided to stop in at Vitale's on the way home. I'm so glad that I did! The shop isn't anything fancy, there is a counter inside and then a handful of tables outside. It is primarily a to go joint which is pretty standard for delis. It gives off the vibe that you should just stroll up from the neighborhood and grab something to eat, chat for a while with other locals, and then head home. It has a nice, no frills vibe that I really enjoyed. The sandwiches are pretty typical for an Italian Deli with most of them featuring variations of lunchmeat. I'm always a sucker for meatball sandwiches though so that is what I got with a side of chips. It was outstanding. The meatballs were GIANT and they were the right texture. It was large enough that I had to split it across two meals. The owner was really nice when I was inside and talked to both of my kids. My kids were so well behaved they convinced me to buy them a cannoli on the way out the door. Over this shop fills its niche well, the shop was clean, the staff was friendly, and the food was good. I'll be stopping back in again in the near future.

Everyone is so friendly, from other shoppers to the staff who checks in to see if you need anything. I was looking for Tuna, but when I saw the selection, I couldn't remember which type I needed so that just means I will have to go back! I bought a large jar of capers because I can never have enough of them and I happened upon a frozen Seafood Mix Mediterranean PanaPesca. This looks really good and I think it is for a pasta dish, I will try it and see. I wish I had known when we were there that we were going to have winter weather this weekend! I would have purchased a lot more and if you need to know this, they have fresh yeast cakes. I would have purchased it to make St. Louis school cafeteria rolls.
