I was visiting the town I grew up in and stopped at Kravitz Delicatessen. I go way back with Kravitz - to 1963 when we used to go every Sunday - it was called the Elm Street Delicatessen. It changed names when it moved to Liberty in 1970 and was in the Kravitz family from 1939 to 2022, when it was sold. I thought I'd stop in to see how it was doing. I had the Roast Turkey sandwich on rye. It was delicious! Lean, great flavor and texture; it was as good as I remembered it! The fries were also exceptionally good - large with a crispy exterior and a fluffy, potato rich interior! They were some of the largest fries I've had! It was great going back in time at the deli! read more

Old NY/Classic style Deli still serving the classics like a Reuben. I have not visited a deli like this in some time but decided to stop by while passing through. The sandwich was great. Just like I remember in the old Deli's of the NYC. Service was also top notch. Generally I would have expected a Self Serve but this is a full service deli. Prices are reasonable. Food is great. Visit if you live there or just passing through read more

I popped in here to try their sammiches and it was excellent. I got the pastrami sandwich on rye and fries. It was a well made sandwich, and I loved the fresh cut fries. They also have some great pastries, I assume they are Polish with the name. I'll definitely be back! read more

Came in with a friend to order lunch before a hike. My friend ordered a sandwich and appetizer and I wanted a kids sandwich since I medically am unable to consume a full meal. This is the first time in my life I was told I couldn't order off the kids menu. Super disappointed when my friend ordered a whole meal and my kids meal was still going to be a $10 sandwich. Not sure what the issue is. Manager needs to be more flexible with their customers. I ended up not ordering food and definitely won't be back. read more

Family owned and operated, do yourself a favor... stop here for food! The service was extremely down to earth, welcoming, and friendly. The restaurant itself has a diner vibe, and is very clean. The food was amazing, everything from start to finish was made with love. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. We of course had to try the famous rueben sandwiches, they were amazing!! Homemade soup was also very good. On the way out, we were sure to grab some fresh baked goods and wow were they amazing! read more

On our way from Indiana to visit our son and DIL in New Jersey, my wife and I stopped at Kravitz Deli for lunch and liked it so much we stopped there again 3 days later on our way back. When we went in, the lady that seated us said their soups were the best. I got the clam chowder along with a pastrami sandwich. Both were great. I love these old time delis and will stop in again! I think you'll like it too. read more

My staff and I traveled from Cleveland to Youngstown for a training event on July 7, 2026. We chose Kravitz Deli as our location for lunch having not been there before and wanting to go somewhere that's a local establishment. Our Server Kristen was on it and took care of us well and our meals were fantastic. I ordered the Rueben which was amazing and the potato salad was solid! One of our staff members forgot to bring home their itemized receipt to be reimbursed for their lunch. I called the next morning and spoke with Matthew (the owner) and after getting off the phone with him, he was able to provide me a copy of her itemized receipt within minutes. From the food and service and ownership, Kravitz Deli is a must stop! read more

Classic Jewish deli. Loved the chicken soup and Reuben. Surprised by its location but it was a great stop on our drive from IN back home to CT read more

Food is awful . I had sandwiches for me and my aunt usually I pick her up one every year. The first year she complained about the meat corn beef sandwich. Too much gristle . I went for bagels a couple months ago I asked for cream cheese way too much on my bagel . I had to physically wipe it off not for me shame too I loved that Deli. read more

Their Rueben is one of the best things you'll ever eat in your lifetime. I traveled back and forth from Texas to Ohio for a year and couldn't wait to go back. The staff is friendly, and made Kravitz worth going back to. read more

Amazing ! Reuben sandwiches are the best I've ever tasted! You can also purchase pastries which are also amazing.

Never put Youngstown OH and delicatessen together but it's right off of 80 while traveling between Chicago and NY. Fast friendly service in a clean restaurant. Like that you get to choose between small medium and large portion sizes. Flavorful and well cooked. read more

Kravitz Delicatessen - Corned Beef & Pastrami with provolone on Rye - Delis Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

Good food, good service, good prices. What more could you want? Youngstown has a deli but Pgh doesn't? What's wrong with this picture?

I was excited to try and got the large corned beef and Cole slaw. Cost me over $20. It was not good and not large at all. Cannot compare to Slymans one bit. Slymans corned beef is way tastier and leaner and their large is 3x the size of the Kravitz sandwich. Cole slaw was tasteless. read more

Kravitz is the real deal! This delicatessen experience won't make you forget about a Jewish Brooklyn deli, but it doesn't need to. It's right here in the valley! The ambience is special. Tiny tile adorns the floor, refrigerated meat cases that date back to when your grandparents were dating. The place looks like it was last updated, well, never. I got a Reuben. Wife got a turkey club. The pastrami was tender, salty and fatty (fatty in a good way). Layered generously on perfectly grilled rye bread. I wasn't in love with my potato chips being served to me in a bag on the plate like I was in middle school, but a small complaint overall. I'm originally from the east coast, so that obviously makes me unapologetically arrogant. I've had better pastrami in my life. But I've never had better pastrami in Ohio. If you hit up Kravitz Deli, you'll leave happy. read more

I wish I could leave them 0 star reviews. The food looked great on the reviews. The cooks were working hard, and the manager was very welcoming who greeted us right away. We waited 14 minutes exactly to be "spoken" to. By spoken, I mean I had to speak up to see if we were getting service. My mother said "excuse me" to get her attention. The server greeted us by yelling," I'm not ignoring you, clearly I'm busy with my tables!" That response with the tone of voice, said it all. We had come into town for my step dad's funeral, and yet we were treated with no dignity or respect. As we decided to walk out, server says" I don't even care." Must be nice knowing you missed out on a great tip from my mother who is a server, and myself that's a nurse and a server on the weekends. I worked both of my jobs while pregnant, stressed out, and always treated everyone as if they were family. You give love you get love. Horrible disappointing service. My mom just wanted a Reuben to help her feel better after the funeral. Never again! read more

Kravitz Deli never disappoints. The sandwiches are made to order and worth the wait. Rueben's, the rye bread, bagels and homemade desserts are always great. read more

Amazing place! Had an extra hour before my business meeting and found this great little Deli in Youngstown. Had a cup of Wedding soup and the best Corned Beef and Swiss sandwich! Service was fantastic, very attentive, kind and friendly. Waitress brought me a small Hungarian dessert pastry called a kipfel. Wonderful! I bought a dozen to take home to Houston. Older place, regular patrons kept coming into the afternoon. Thanks for an amazing experience. read more

Had my first experience here this week and it won't be my last. All of you people driving to New York City, you should probably get off at this exit if you want to have the bestcorned beef. Sorry, but this is beyond anything I've had anywhere else and that includes NYC. Corned beef with Ohio Swiss and Cleveland Stadium mustard on grilled rye was perfect. Then the waitress brought me a complementary apple pastry and let's just say I definitely ended up sampling some other flavors before I left. Everyone is friendly, it may not be a huge menu, but it's quality food for 85 years. read more

IT was just HORRIBLEand i also ordered a cup of wedding soup didn't taste it yet. will never order from there again i will check out Jack in the Mill Creek PARK cause i will NEVER RETURNTO THE Belmont Ave store.

Great food, friendly service, wonderful music. Loved it! If you have never eaten here try it. read more

I ordered a hot pastrami on a bagel with provolone. I received a bagel with such a small amount of pastrami, a scrambled egg (more egg than meat) and a tiny speck of cheese! I do t plan to return. I cannot say how their pastrami tastes because there was such little meat! Clearly not what I ordered! Clearly, too, not the same quality as it was prior to changing owners. No wonder the store was nearly empty when I arrived. That should have been a sign. read more

Jack and his folks make the best deli sandwiches in Youngstown area. Their Corned beef is excellent and their roast beef is great as well Even Santa likes a good sandwich. The elves love the bakery goodies. Their soups are always great too. If you like a good Reuben, this is where to get it. read more

Everything. The staff is friendly and helpful. The food is beyond delicious. The prices are reasonable.

This delicatessen was so cute! We made a pit stop on our drive since we had seen all the good reviews and didn't want to stop for fast food. The staff was so friendly. We ordered our food and then went outside to wait since we had our dog with us. They actually came outside to say hi to our pup, ask if we needed water and then brought our food out to us. There were so many options you can't go wrong! The corned beef sandwich was delicious and packed! We made the right choice to stop and grab lunch. If we are back in the area we will definitely stop again! read more

Haven't been here in years. Just chalk this up as delicious and friendly and yum. Oh, and beats heck outta all them delis in Beachwood. Beachwood is Cleveland's answer to Woodland Hills in LA as far as delis go. Anyways, Kravitz beats them all the way home and back! read more

Kravitz Delicatessen - This is the low end Reuben. Pretty good, hunh? Yeah it is! - Delis Near Me - Youngstown, Ohio

Youngstown's Best Deli. This is a great stop for corned beef. Have it in a Reuben or with swiss on rye. I've definitely been here for Saint Patrick's day dinner where they added the option of a side of cabbage to go with the corned beef. They also have great bagels and matzoh ball soup. I would suggest taking advantage of their Daily Double, where you can pair one of their signature sandwiches with a cup of soup or a small salad. read more

Youngstown's finest corned beef! I came here because I remembered how fabulous the food was last time! I was nervous because of Covid, but everything was up to code and you must wear a mask! The service was amazing ! I was greeted as soon I walked in the door ! I ordered the corned beef sandwich! It was a toasted butter bread with a generous potion of meat! Each bite was filled with so much care and attention! I love this place and will come back! read more

What a diamond in the rough. My husband and I grew up in NYC, and we were craving a hot pastrami sandwich while we were in Youngstown for my son's track meet. We were blown away how good the food was. The pastrami was flavorful and moist. The bread was grilled to perfection. The pickle offered the right amount of crunch. We also ordered the New England clam chowder which was better than most high end restaurants in Boston . HIGHLY RECOMMEND !! And the entire staff was so friendly and welcoming. I got free yummy pastries to try read more

What an experience! We had not intended on eating here, but we are so glad we did. Super nice people, and the food was off the charts. We had corned beef and Swiss, it was delicious. They make the meats in house, and the baked goods are amazing too. It was 2 pm and the place was packed. Food was brought to the table super fast. We will definitely be back. read more

Ambiance: Very low-key restaurant that's a little Frankensteined with a bakery up front, diner in the middle and bar in the back. We seated ourselves per the sign and had a waitress within the minute although we were admittedly there at an off hour. We were instantly charmed by the super friendly staff and it was fun hearing the locals talking so familiarly with everyone while we waited. It's the kind of place where you genuinely feel like they're eager to help you have a good experience and everything is done with a smile. Food: My wife had the Vallourec star and I had the Kraut on Fire. Both sandwiches had a great ratio of meat:bread:veges and I was happy to not have to ask for extra sauerkraut for once. The meat was sliced nice and thin, giving each bite a nice tender texture as the layers spread out with savory goodness as you chew. The meat was steam-warmed which keeps everything moist but also means you lack the caramelization of a good roasting. The rye bread was not too herby or overpowering and let the meat truly shine. I was not the fan of the Russian dressing as I'm not a fan of sweet sauces but they served it on the side and the sandwich didn't really need a sauce. The Kraut on Fire which sounded like the spiciest option really had no heat, unless regular pepper jack is a challenge for you. We enjoyed the vallourec the best as the corned beef and pastrami provided a nice contrast to on another. We also got a tea biscuit and two kipfels which were all amazing. They were delightfully buttery and crumbly, flaking and melting in your mouth before giving way to natural fruit fillings. You won't find any artificial, syrupy, or canned flavors. Overall we had a really enjoyable meal. The sandwiches were excellently proportioned and the meats which were made in-house were all top-notch. I would gladly come back just for the pastries alone but what truly sets the place apart is the quality of the staff. It's a place you want to be a regular at and get to be friends with everyone. We'd recommend giving this place a try. read more

Great food, in fact the best corn beef sandwiches you can get in the area, only complaint I would have it's a little pricy.

Absolutely fine Kosher food along with American cuisine.Good Clean Delicatessen and Great Service‼

Vegan review: The Hannah K sandwich was delicious. Just ask for no tzatziki sauce and chips on the side. The best part of the sandwich is the roasted red pepper. You can tell that they roast it on premise and not from a jar. Also, their pickles are tasty. Well balanced and crispy. Y'all know it's a good deli based on the pickles alone. read more

Don't expect a flashy dining room, but the wait and counter staff were very friendly, the service was reasonably fast and the food was excellent. I had half a Ruben and a spinning bowl salad. They were both very flavorful and it was plenty of food for lunch. My wife had the Hanna K and she said that the peta was very fresh and the filling just the right amount of zing. Next time pass by the Youngstown area around lunch time, we will not hesitate to stop. read more
