Little Jimmy's serves as an exemplar of a deli in every way I can think of. I tried their turkey sandwich ($10.48) and it tasted uniquely delicious. Their bread has a very light sweetness that compliments the muenster cheese, while the apple and pear add an unexpected texture to the sandwich. As someone with zero expertise in what constitutes a good turkey sandwich, I found myself quite surprised by the creativity put in this one. I also ordered a gyro/egg/feta breakfast taco ($3.88) since I've never heard of such a combination. I ended up liking it more than the conventional potato, egg, and cheese. It's also very filling for the price. My food came out in ~5 minutes despite ordering during lunch hour. Within seconds of walking in, it becomes obvious how their service remains fast despite the influx of customers. Their work space runs like a well oiled machine; workers seamlessly perform their kitchen tasks while a manager oversees the entire show, swiftly covering any gaps such as an unmanned cash register or chip bags needing a restock. The interior is somewhat small, but still enjoyable for dining in. The restrooms are clean, the floors are spotless, and the windows let in plenty of sunlight. I also appreciate the basket of free candy at the front counter. It's not filled with crappy mints or tootsie rolls either -- I grabbed a mini Twix bar out of there. Everything about this place feels well thought out from the food itself to the flow of operations. What a gem of a shop, hiding in plain sight. read more

Good location. One block away from my favorite car wash (Soap hand wash), so it's very convenient to eat here while waiting. The place is little small on the inside, but clean and modern, and lots of outdoor seating. The food is fresh, made to order, seasoned very well, and fairly priced. I really enjoyed the breakfast taco, and hope to try more menu items soon. read more

Jimmy's is a cute and simple sandwich shop. Yesterday we stopped in for the first time in quite a while, following a visit to Costco, which is just a block away. We ordered one gyro sandwich, one hot pastrami and Swiss on multigrain bread with a little bit of green pepper and onion, and a small cup of their homemade potato salad. Service was prompt and attentive. Portions were generous. If you're in the mood for something that is straightforward and not fancy, this is the place. read more

The secret to their sandwhiches are in the bread!! They get the break from Sheila Parton/mesquite bakery here in Houston. Walk in and grab a paper to write your order on the paper. If there is a line, it goes pretty fast. Grab a potato salad cup or chips and check out. They have fresh iced tea and fresh lemonade along with coke fountain machine. All the locals go here, especially for work lunch crowd. Limited seating inside. Plenty of seating outside. read more

You can really tell the culinary attention that goes into Little Jimmy's sandwiches. The bread is soft and sweet, and the combination of ingredients/sauces is well thought out. I recently had the Hot Pastrami sandwich, and it was unlike one I had ever had. It was like Absolutely Excellent. (1) The Gyro Sandwich - Absolutely great gyro, love that this is an option here... honestly you would think you had ordered from a Greek restaurant (2) The Hot Pastrami Sandwich - It was like if a philly cheesesteak and a pastrami sandwich mixed into one... but even better. (3) The Turkey Sandwich - Love the apples with the sweet/tart finish (4) The Chicken Salad Sandwich - Solid (5) The BLT - which was on the heavy side, but a solid BLT nonetheless read more

Bland, dry, overall feels like old people food at a nursing home. Could've made a turkey sandwich like this at home and it would've been a lot better. Even the PICKLE was sub par. Don't drink the iced tea, found some strange bits in my drink, I doubt they clean the container. read more

There's only one thing I like more than a sandwich shop and that's a sandwich shop within walking distance of me. With all the different foods out there I still get drawn back to simplicity. My favorite is the jimmy's hot pastrami. Line was out the door during lunch on a Monday. But it moved quick. You can fill out a list too if you're picky about what you want on your sandwich. Actually almost everyone was going this route. Soda fountain is self serve on the side. read more

Just grabbed a couple of sandwiches - 1st time here. A small deli counter and a couple of indoor tables. Simple ordering at the counter or grab your own brown paper bag and fill in your order. Serving Breakfast all day, sandwiches, and salads. It looks like there is an outside patio that is undergoing renovations. First, my veggie sandwich on multigrain bread was probably the best veggie sandwich I've had. Who would think to put apples and walnuts on a veggie sandwich? They do and it is delicious. Their veggie (I got it wo/onions), was made of high-quality ingredients with a texture that was a delightful mix of crunchy and creamy. The taste was more complex than your typical veggie due to the variety of ingredients from hummus and avocado to radish, apple, and horseradish cheddar cheese (my choice), with no one flavor overpowering another. My spouse ordered a Jimmy's turkey sandwich which he said was equally satisfying. We will definitely be back. read more

The hype is real. Solid sandwich, great service and clean. Gyro - (5/5) We've been trying to find the best gyro sandwich In Houston. Out of half a dozen places this has been the best. Pastrami - (5/5) Quality meat, fresh veggies and the jalapeño bread was soft and moist. This Yelp find was a gem. We will def be coming back. Houston needs more local delis like this!!! read more

Probably the best gyro I have had in Houston. They add some extras like olives standard. Good size you will not be hungry. My son had BLT and they do breakfast all day. I would come back! Please is also spotless, which is required. read more

3.5 stars GYRO $8.50- (or half sandwich, half soup for $9.50) it was pretty good and stuffed! I've had more flavorful gyro meat, but it was tender. The pita bread was really soft and fresh, but I'm so mad I forgot to sub it w/ the Jalapeño bread people rave about! POTATO SOUP- yummy! had chunks of potato. Preferred this over the CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP (creamy, not a clear broth), which was still good though. Pretty busy during weekday lunch but doesn't take long to get your food. read more

Little Jimmy's Deli - 1/2 gyro (less meat) & 1/2 soup $9.50- gyro pretty good (not the best) & prefer the potato soup over the chicken tortilla soup (still good) - Delis Near Me - Houston, Texas

The owner here has small man syndrome. I recall a time, he gave me attitude about how I wanted a sandwich. I asked him why the attitude. After he proceeded to collect my money, he told me to get out in front of the entire store and the client I was with. Little jimmy is a spot on description of this loser, I think his name is George? Aside from the service, the sandwich was worth nothing to write home about. Plenty of other options in the area to check out over this spot. read more

Never again. I have been to this place many times. Today, the owner was beyond rude. I ordered a salad with meat. The owner asked, "Salad Only"? Thinking he was asking salad... "veg" only... I said no... with meat... He stared at me and asked again "Salad only..." Again, I said no... with meat... He then snarled at me and said, "am I speaking Chinese here!" I was stunned and beyond surprised... I am just here to get lunch... I love to support businesses that have good service and product, however, with an ugly, angry attitude like this, this business is not one I can support. And I got a "lovely" message with profanity attacking me from the owner for my review... read more

Little Jimmy's Deli - Delis Near Me - Houston, Texas

Oh my word, literally the best turkey sandwich I have ever had! I mean seriously. Fresh bread, fresh ingredients, outstanding dressing, crisp apples, fresh turkey, and rich Munster cheese. I called them last minute/same day for a large sandwich order and they took care of me! Customer service was outstanding. When I got to the deli, the sandwiches were bagged, ready to go, and packed so I could carry them once I got back to work. They even helped me carry it to my car. Definitely a win-win on this one. I will use them again and again. read more

Simple yet delicious! I've heard really great things about Jimmy's but never had the chance to stop by. The owner was at the counter and helpfully explained that you can customize anything and suggested the turkey or gyro. I decided to go with the turkey and loved my sandwich! It came out warm (which was a nice surprise) and the turkey was delicious. This isn't average lunch meat, it's real roasted turkey with apples and pears. The oil and vinegar brings the whole sandwich together with a nice kick. As other reviews have said, the ingredients are super high quality and fresh. Will definitely be back! Parking: There is free garage parking behind the plaza. Make sure you read the signs so you go in through the right entrance. There's an elevator, but I find it easier to walk up the ramp and around to the front of the plaza. It's a nice area to walk around after you finish your meal! read more

Hey! Little Jimmy's Deli is preparing for their grand opening of their new location on July 17! I got a sneak peak and the place looks awesome. Same great food and concept as original.

Fantastic! They have the best jalapeno bread. Which Wich style type ordering. You can even order a gyro on bread or even better jalapeno bread! Gyro is fantastic. Never had a bad sandwich.

I've been coming her for breakfast and lunch for the last 7 years. It is my favorite sandwich place in houston. The bread is what makes this sandwich!

I like the Gyro Sandwich on jalapeño bread - it's my go-to lunch option. You order by checking boxes on a brown paper bag to select what you want. It's always busy but the line moves quickly. So don't be daunted by the long lunch lines -- they are pretty efficient & it is worth the wait! They also make cookies but I haven't tried them yet. read more

First time going to this establishment. The guy behind the register was beyond rude. He stated that my order "made no sense". Coming from New York we have a bread we call a hero. While explaining that to him he stated that what I was asking for was not sensible. So I proceeded to explain my order to him like the child he was by pointing out the bread I was referring to. Never stepping foot in this establishment again. read more

Best Gyros in Houston! Definitely a hidden gem. I started coming here since I got a new job and it does not disappoint. You would never think a deli would be good with gyros, but they are super good. The lamb is season well and their tzatziki sauce is amazing! read more

Best sandwiches in town. I have been coming here for years. I have never had anything that was not great. Soups, salads, and sandwiches. Lot's of extras available to make it something special. Indoor and outdoor seating and carefully packaged to go. They make the effort to keep everything fresh and tasty. read more

This was very very good. The sauce was full of flavor and the meat was nice and tender. The only thing I would change about the sandwich is the amount of toppings loaded in it... it made it hard to eat. The taco was great as well and the eggs were nicely cooked read more

A family-owned sandwich shop nestled in the corner of a Richmond Avenue strip center is one of Houston's best and most reliable restaurants. The city boasts plenty of eateries brimming with extravagance, pomposity, and Michelin-worthy decadence. The food at Little Jimmy's Deli is just freaking delicious, and you need not know more than that before paying a morning/afternoon weekday visit. Those who work long hours may find it difficult to eat here regularly, as owner George closes up by 4 Monday thru Friday and has slashed Saturdays from the itinerary until the new year. The moment you have an available weekday, you owe it to yourself to pop in to this piquant jewel for a meal. The impressive menu of sandwiches, breakfast items, and salads is affordable, and everything I've sampled hit the bullseye. The BLT on white (or multi-grain toast as offered) is exquisite and loaded with thick, perfectly cooked bacon. The potato salad is a mayonnaise-based dream in a cup. The breakfast tacos are terrific, and the French toast rivals pricier renditions at ornate restaurants. The service is outstanding and efficient. I contemplated whether a delicatessen that slings salads and sandwiches merited a five-star review. I reflected on at least four years of visits, none of them disappointing or anything short of exceptional. The answer: an emphatic "yes." Little Jimmy's is all that and a bag of chips, which you can procure with a combo. The owner has endured the economic consequences of a global pandemic, the usual barriers locally-owned eateries can face, and at least a year of construction chaos. A large, "yes, we are open" sign was a necessity for many months as crews demolished and replaced the entire patio area the restaurant shares with the center's other tenants. My meal at Little Jimmy's earlier this week was standing-ovation worthy. Please, please give this place your business. read more

Be warned. The manager is not wearing a mask. I asked why. He said he doesn't have covid. We left. This stupidity is why we're still fighting this. It is a mandate to wear a mask in a building. He could catch covid at any time and spread it unknowingly. My friends won't go there any more. Shame. They have good food but they don't care about their customers. read more

The food is decent. The little guy George, behind the cash register can be gruff and rude. I've seen him be nice so I know he is capable but he doesn't handle hectic and stresses easily. I come in with multiple orders for the office which sometimes bothers him. He seems to think he's better, smarter. I think he is rude. After months of trying to kill him with kindness I told him he was rude. He told me I was rude. I guess we are even. read more

Simple ingredients makes for a simple sandwich. I've always thought that when someone else makes my sandwich, it always tastes better. For that reason, I can't complain about the deli sandwiches at Little Jimmy's Deli! The food is good and made fresh. The only downside is that I never know how to make my own sandwich. I wish they'd have a list for favorite sandwiches pre-made so you won't have to spend hours trying to figure it out. FYI - the ordering style is just like Which-Wich, grab a bag and a black sharpie and mark away! read more
