    Game Over Chicken Cheesesteak
    Julian L.

    I enjoy the food every time they are consistent and soup is good to i haven't had a lot of different items from the menu but i enjoy the food I've had

    Taa'ib pastries at Lee's
    Alison S.

    While visiting a dear friend living in Philly experiencing local food became priority. I learned that Lee's Deli carries baked goods created by local bakers. We purchased 6 items made by Taa'ib Pastries. These sweet treats are so delicious. My favorite is the French Apple Pie. So if you are craving homemade style baked goods in West Philly I recommend Lee's Deli.

    Hoagie with 2 slice of meat and 1 slice of cheese for $11.00 plus door dash cost SMH

    My coworkers and I orders from Lee's today for lunch after hearing amazing things. Well, we got 4 hoagies and all of them lacked meat. The hoagies had 2 slices of meat and 1 slice of cheese. It was the worst hoagie ever, it was like eating a veggie sandwich. We will not be ordering again. Extremely disappointed!

    Carrot cake muffin
    Angela B.

    bulgogi cheese steak + carrot cake muffin are great! Add pickles for sure!!! =========== Just got delivery from DoorDash and I'm very satisfied Bulgogi cheese steak I was worried this would be super sweet, but it actually wasn't. I added pickles to this and it was great with the meat. There's pieces of broccoli in this too so it's kinda not terrible for you. The cheese and the beef aren't overwhelming one another. Carrot cake Texture is a little dense more like a muffin, but this was not too sweet and cream cheese frosting had enough tang in it. Yum. As I was eating, some grease or sauce went all over my fingers. Def a messy meal. Tasty if you want a bit of a twist to your cheese steak.

    The Reuben!!!

    I placed an order for the Reuben sandwich with the dressing on the side and received not only the dressing on the sandwich but also the dressing on the side!! When I called to let the owner know, he claimed he didn't hear me say on the side however, how did I end up with a side of Russian dressing. It's the lack of accountability for me in this situation. Customer service is the pinnacle of any business! I do not feel I received good customer service at all. An apology for the miscommunication would have sufficed however, that did not happen here. Looks like I will have to find a new establishment to patronize!!!

    I ordered from Lee's Deli because I know they have carrot cake made by the mythical "carrot cake man". The carrot cake man has been selling his carrot cakes on public transportation for many years. I didn't just order the carrot cake. I ordered a sampling of desserts along with an Italian hoagie. It is a deli after all. The Italian hoagie was a good hoagie, but nothing memorable. It will not be my go-to spot for an Italian. It seems none of the desserts are made in house, but they definitely know where to get them from The carrot cake was the same cake I remembered from years back. Very moist with the best cream cheese icing I've ever tasted. The red velvet and pound cake were also outstanding cakes. Right up there with the best Amish cakes. The sweet potato pie was just OK. I wouldn't get that again. I had 3 outstanding desserts, so no complaints there. But the deli part doesn't seem to be up to that very high bar.

    "Rule Breaker" Salmon and Shrimp Sandwich
    FoodieLife M.

    Game Over Cheesesteak- This is the main reason I go to Lee's! I was introduced almost a decade ago now and that sandwich calls my name every now and then. Marinated chicken, grilled on the flat top and topped with Shrimp. I usually get it with Mayo and Fried Onions and spinach even tho you have your choice of spinach or broccoli. The Sweet and Sour/sweet chili type sauce that goes with it actually ties everything together perfectly. Great creative cheesesteak. 4.5/5 Rule Breaker Cheesesteak/Sandwich- The last time I got this sandwich with Salmon and Shrimp, it was a little underwhelming. Everything wasn't as fresh as I've had before but still pretty tasty. Nothing is really chopped and there's a lot of vegetables in the sandwich which makes for good flavors but certainly isn't a cheesesteak. Probably a 3.3/5 Lee's is a neighborhood spot but the Game Over cheesesteak is worth traveling for. (Ig: FoodieLifeMac . Check out my Lee's Deli YouTube review on Foodie Life Mac page. Series: Cheesesteak Run)

    New bay fries
    Judy C.

    My fave sandwich is still Korean BBQ Cheesesteak, but now my fave fries are Garlic Parmesan Cheese Fries (though I ask for less cheese because of my lactose sensitivity). Regarding portions: If two of us each order our own sandwich and share a small order of fries, it's already pretty filling. I have shared a large portion of fries between 2-3 people when we got our own sandwiches...probably too much food for 2, but better for 3. And since they introduced me to Carrot Cake Man, I always order it when I go and ask them to microwave it on the spot. If I ever change my order from these 3 things, maybe I'll update my review again, ha.

    Corned Beef Special / Provolone
    Felicia H.

    I'm so happy that Lee's have reopened. Today we went to get 2 Corned Beef Specials. There are so awesome & they had everything that we asked to put on them. They every got the cheese right. Husband wanted provolone & I wanted swiss. Lee's is my favorite place to go, they make the best sandwishes & more in West & Southwest. They have rebuild the place so wonderfully. They are still as friendly as they have always been.

    I love Jewish Delis. So I concluded my World Cup weekend with lunch at 4th Street. It was as good…read moreas can be. I had the extra sized pastrami Rueben on toasted rye. Massive. The meat was moist, tasty, properly salted, with a discernible bark. The amount of cheese, sauerkraut, & dressing accentuated the pastrami, although so much meat would be hard to impact! It needed the long spear to stay together. But yet I could cut & shave & make mini sandwiches. The potato salad was a great refresher. Not too tart, with carrots, celery, & I could taste onion. The pickle was not too acidic. Great crunch. A nice interlude between bites of the sandwich & potato salad. I took my time. It went into overtime. Washing it down with coke. My taste buds won. Great service. A nice diner like vibe. Incredible menu. We don't have this level of Jewish Deli in the Bay Area. I'd go every week. $36.18 is with it! I threw in a $10 tip for a great meal & nice waitress.

    My mother has been a loyal customer of 4th Street Deli for many years, so this review is especially…read moredisappointing to write. Most of our food was delicious as usual. While I was downtown, I picked up about $92 worth of food, including 1 1/2 pounds of shrimp salad that couldn't be ordered online because, for some reason, the website would not allow it. The very next day, when we went to eat it, something was clearly wrong. The shrimp salad caused a tingling sensation on our tongues, and it was obvious it had gone bad. I called the deli to let them know not just because we couldn't eat it, but because I thought they would want to know if there was a potential issue with the batch. Instead of receiving an apology or any concern, I was met with a dismissive response of, "Oh, that's weird," and the conversation felt condescending. I explained that I couldn't bring the shrimp salad back because I'm leaving town and my mother has limited mobility. I wasn't asking for a refund on our entire order. I simply asked if they could issue a gift card or store credit for the shrimp salad so my mother could use it on a future visit. Every possible solution I suggested was met with an excuse as to why it couldn't be done. The spoiled food was disappointing, but the lack of empathy and customer service was worse. Loyal customers deserve to be treated with respect when they raise a legitimate concern. After years of supporting 4th Street Deli, this experience has unfortunately convinced us that it will be our last visit. I'm reading they have new owners, so maybe it's not the same amazing management we are used to.

We walked in for a late lunch and were overwhelmed by all our options. There's also a butcher's shop if you want fresh meats, and a designated cafe section for beverages and pastries to go. I chose an eggplant sandwich, which was thinly sliced, breaded, and fried, with mozzarella, and artichokes. The sandwich itself was so filling. The chips and pickle were an added bonus. They heated it for us before we went upstairs to eat. There's a quieter section with more ambiance upstairs, so we enjoyed the ac while we ate. I came back a few days later for a strawberry shortcake, and it was worth the trip. I love cake, so the miniature options were appealing and practical. Most of the cakes range from $12-30..Which is not a bad price for how much you get!
