I've been meaning to try Kramarczuk's for years. This lunch I just had did not disappoint!…read more Their Reuben came highly recommended - and I agree that it is incredible. I also really enjoyed the Ukrainian meatball with butter noodles and tomato cream sauce. Something about that combo is dreamy! The meatball is tender and the sauce is just the perfect balance of creamy and tomato-y. The restaurant side has a cafeteria-style setup. There's also a deli with so many meats, bread, snacks, and condiments. Service was fantastic and everyone was friendly. There's a small parking lot for use while shopping there but it can definitely fill up.

As always, I got the meatball with the tomato cream sauce; that sauce is the best!!!! We also got the pierogis but they weren't as good as usual, I think they were over fried and dry, and just didn't taste like I remember. Overall, I love this spot and the Eastern European comfort food they serve.

Trying to avoid a chain restaurant, and craving a deli experience, this was such a wonderful visit…read morein Saint Paul. Thanks to the staff at Patina for the recommendation! Old school all the way. There's a restaurant in the back, and a full-scale deli counter in the front. It is such a good stop. They have their own private parking lot too. Wood paneling, and a bunch of local reviews all over the walls. Clean, normal sound. Simple, with excellent customer service, and a huge menu that will have something that you like. Packed the midweek afternoon we visited, and we did not wait for a table. Loved my bowl of Matzo Soup, superb broth and the Matzo was delicious. Enjoyed my BLT on whole wheat and the homemade potato salad was amazing! Had a cherry cobbler for dessert that was incredible. Restaurant has been open for over 70 years, and I met the owner/manager, Cecil, afterward, and he just oozes customer service being a priority. It's a must-visit place.

The line for baked goods was also busy but moved quick and wow - I regret not getting any of the baked goods. They looked phenomenal. I had the Leonard Da Vinci which was outstanding. The gardiniera was the perfect level of spice and the sandwich was jam packed with salami and turkey. The Cole slaw was also delicious. The vibe inside is very Eastern European deli authentic which is so fun. They had tons of to go items for sale as well and a huge grab and go beverage selection. The seating area was spacious and packed on a warm spring day.

Today I felt like Peking duck but wasn't prepared to make it, this was a great stand in. Extreme bonus points for the amazing service I've had every time I've gone into this place.

Been stopping by Nelson's for years! Need the perfect lunch...look no further!…read more Street parking available nearby! This is a no frills, but well-oiled machine of a deli! The line is usually out the door during the lunch rush, but don't worry...they'll get you through quick! Well-staffed with people that are excited to see you and excited to make you something delightful! Sandwiches (warm or cold) and salads are the name of the game! Choose your line, order it up as is or custom, and grab your soda/chips to make it a meal and you are set! On my latest visit, I had the Old Fashioned, which was perfect! Made a few swaps including a french roll, no tomatoes, add pickles! Perfect lunch size, great value, and quality ingredients! There's a reason people will wait in line for this spot! I can't recommend it enough!

The lunch combo is my go to. They have limited hours and usually a line at peak lunch hour but it goes super quick. The staff is always friendly and they have never messed up an order of mine!

They are located just a block or two away from Como park which has picnic tables available to have a nice lunch outside!

I like the concept, specifically the build your own (BYO) pizzas and pasta. The pasta was ok, I felt like it could use more flavor. The pizza was great though and I recommend this. The cheesecakes and pies were delicious- don't skip it because the crust is amazing. Around the seating area, there are some groceries items you can shop for if you want too. They do have a shared parking lot with plenty of parking. In the back, there is a nice little view and walking path that we enjoyed after dinner too.

I've been coming here for over 10 years, even before the ownership changed, so this review is disappointing for me to write. Unfortunately, this is now the second time my order has been messed up. I specifically ordered four toasted bagels, and not a single one was toasted. What makes this even more frustrating is that I live 40 minutes away and make the drive because I've always loved this place. I understand being busy, but repeatedly getting such a simple order wrong feels careless and inadequate, especially when customers are waiting so long and paying premium prices. It's very disheartening because after the last mistake, I told myself I probably wouldn't come back, yet I gave it another chance because of the loyalty I've had to this business for years. I truly hope they slow down enough to pay attention to quality and accuracy again, because long-time customers notice the difference. Not happy at all
