My husband's family has been coming here for years, so it's very nostalgic for him. And even though I didn't grow up eating here, it feels nostalgic for me! We make sure it's' in our rotation of places we need to eat when we're in town! It's a very classic deli menu- our favorite is the submarine sandwich, which you can get hot or cold. My second favorite has to be the french dip. The sauce and crackers that come out at the beginning is a fun touch too! The staff is always friendly and the service is quick! It definitely can get busy, but worth the wait! read more

This little cafe that is attached to the mall in Pittsburg Kansas was such a delight. While visiting my bonus daughter's, my friends took me here to grab some lunch before we headed out to the airport. I ordered a delicious French Dip sandwich that came with some chips. My friends also got the the French onion soup which smelled amazing. The sandwiches were definitely filling. I wish I was able to save some of it but it was so good and I was so hungry that I annihilated the sandwich. The staff here were so warm and welcoming and made sure that we were taken care of. We went during lunch time and it was extremely busy. I mean they had just opened up and there was already a line of people waiting to get in. They have a white dressing which they are known for and give you club crackers to go along with it. So you put the white dressing onto the cracker and you eat it just like that. You could add it to the sandwiches but most were eating it with the crackers. It was very addicting that I had to stop myself so I could save space for my sandwich. Don't sleep on this cafe. And be prepared for a wait as they are very popular. read more

A Pittsburg classic for a reason. Mall Deli is affordable, delicious and the service is always down to earth and friendly. It's been around over 40 years and with as packed as busy as it is, I'm sure it's not going anywhere soon. Even at its busiest times, I can never remember waiting to long for a meal. read more

Mall Deli - Delis Near Me - Pittsburg, Kansas

The local favorite that has been around for decades. The perfect place to get a great meal for a reasonable price and not have any reason to leave hungry. While the prices have had to go up over the years, the food quality has always remained the same. You will have a line during lunch times and definitely on Sundays after the church crowd gets out as it will be packed with 30-40 people waiting out in the mall area to have a table open up. read more

Heady munch..... I recommend the submarine sandwich. Got pix of Piggie below. Still typing read more

Finally got a chance to stop here. Not gourmet, not fancy. Their menu is simple and they do it well. Basic sandwiches, sides, soup and salads all at reasonable prices. They give you crackers with creamy Italian dressing when you sit down. This was a weird concept to me but amazingly it works and is quite tasty. Service was good and prices were great. Get there when they open or you'll be waiting awhile. read more

Everyone loves the mall deli, and for most part so do I. However, this was the second time i experienced this. I guess they quit answering the phone during lunch. The phone was ringing and never stopped the 30+ minutes i was there. There was no brake in the ring. It was as if someone called and let it ring and never hung up. And if you get sat in the 2 guest tables its right on top of you and its coming from the kitchen. I feel sorry for the staff in the kitchen. . Just a few days of that would cause PTSD. Okay, i get it. You are busy. But for heavens sake turn off the ringer read more

Went to the Mall Deli on recommendation of a friend. It is not your normal "deli". It's not a sandwich shop. But an amazing restaurant with great meals. Mostly sandwiches and chips. But... a sit down place with a good size menu. Have to try to crackers with creamy Italian while you wait! read more

This deli was referred by a friend of the family while we were up working in Pittsburg KS. It's conveniently located in the Mall and has ample room for seating. They have a great menu with some great looking sandwiches. I went for the Ruben and it was delicious as well inexpensive. I highly recommend this little deli for lunch read more

Mall Deli - Ruben sandwich with extra kraut on the side - Delis Near Me - Pittsburg, Kansas

I am a local, born and raised in Pittsburg and would like to recommend one of our gems. The Mall Deli has been around since 1979 and serves the best deli style cuisine in SEK. The quality is superb and the quantity won't leave you hungry. You won't be disappointed and it is pocketbook friendly. Dress code is come as you are. The French dip is my favorite. Tell Greg (owner) I sent you! read more

Pretty good place. Solid chili cheese dog. And we loved the odd crackers and Italian dressing they give you. Didn't care for the cole slaw and dad they didn't have Coke products. But over all, great place. Great service. read more

great food! Very nice staff and their interior is very organized. I came up to the cashier and told her I didn't have enough money to pay the meal and she gave me an extra 2 dollars to pay for the meal. I definitely recommend this place if you're going out to eat. read more

Have been here many times. Food is always great. One exception recently is their chili. Normally it's great. Got it today and it was dry and tasteless. All other food I've gotten there has been delicious. I would highly recommend - just don't get the chili! read more

Go! Just go!! Excellent food, service and prices! The Italian dressing is AMAZING and addicting. We love the sandwiches and soups as well as bagels. A family favorite and will continue to go often. read more

I don't know about many other people here on the interwebs, but I had not heard of the Mall Deli before I found myself in Pittsburgh, Kansas one faithful Saturday. The line was out the door and everyone looked fired up to be there. I realized quickly that I needed to eat the most recommended item on the menu, The French Dip Sandwich. Roast beef on a bun with an awesome Au Ju dipping sauce. I enjoyed the sandwich so much that I actually had a breakthrough in personal life because of it. I finally accepted that I am a B+ kind of guy. I always thought I was an A, but a B+ is okay, I accept it. My wife says I'm an A+... read more

The place really is legendary! Always a must visit when I go to Pitt. You consistently have super friendly staff members and they put out fantastic food. Been going here with family and friends since it was in the old location inside the Meadowbrook Mall. (Old age) Even got some bottles of Creamy Italian to go. Our bill was super cheap and I am still smiling about the visit. FYI - Molly our server was super awesome! Great prices along with great food and super service....hard combination to beat. Thank you for being awesome Mall Deli! Respectfully, Bryan Oklahoma City read more

The place to go for lunch in Pittsburg, Kansas! Be sure to get a bagel with cheese before your meal. You won't be disappointed!

The food is as good as any sandwich can be, I recommend taking some Creamy Italian to go as it's fantastic!

Quick mall food. Friendly and quick service. All sandwiches with bag chips. If you want something quick and cheap it is the place for you.

When we lived there, we ate there a few times. Average, doesn't stand out, but affordable. Stale chips are not fun. Only did lunch. Staff were pleasant. read more

Who doesn't love the mall deli. Service is always good and food is always hot. It's a go-to spot in Pitt.

French dips and Rubins are the best! Waitstaff is always excellent Very popular, and at times, you have to wait for a table, but the business does it best to get you in. And they have a changing table for a baby in the men's bathroom! read more

There aren't many places that does a French Dip sammich as well as the Mall Deli. I got mine without onions and the bun was served toasted and crisp with a warm soft center. The beef was cooked perfectly, not even close to dry and the au jus was excellent. I've never been disappointed with the Mall Deli and no one should leave without putting a few dabs of their creamy Italian dressing on crackers or the chips served with the sandwich. read more

Mall Deli - French Dip - Delis Near Me - Pittsburg, Kansas

We finally got to eat at the mall deli. Enjoyed a Reuben sandwich that had plenty of meat. Appreciated that it was grilled with the right amount of butter and the thousand island dressing on the side. It made for a tasty sandwich. Husband had a brisket sandwich. It was also a nice sized sandwich and he enjoyed it. Sandwiches come with ridged potato chips and a pickle spear. We also tried their deviled eggs that were mildly seasoned and a nice addition. Our waitress was attentive and offered us sodas to go as well. College students sing praises about the crackers they serve with their dressing. I wasn't the biggest fan but can see the appeal for a hungry college student. A solid sandwich shop. read more

Great food as always! We love mall deli. My only complaint is that if you, offer curbside pickup, be prompt in delivering the order. We waited 20 minutes and we could see our order sitting on the pick up counter. We called twice, no answer. I had to go inside and ask for my order. That defeats the purpose of curbside. To those that will say "don't be lazy, just go inside and pick it up" I had an infant asleep in the car. Not a deal breaker. Still love our mall deli! read more

Great food, fast & friendly service. A staple of Pittsburg. One of the best restaurants in town.

For many years, I was NOT a fan of the Mall Deli, due to a couple experiences with food that was just barely good enough to give away. Recently, we decided to give them another try. Been there twice lately in fact. What a difference. Service was good as was the food. read more

Has a solid selection, not too much not too little and relatively fresh for the area. Help out the young people working and local business.

Sandwiches are great! Kinda wish there was fries as an option instead of just chips, though. Always good service, price is very reasonable.

The pittsburg mall deli has my full recomendation but doesnt need it, been fantastic since the 1970's, their chili has won contest deli didnt knowingly enter - long story but the sandwiches take the cake , built your way, lots of ways to discover new favorites read more

While traveling home from a short vacation, we stopped to have lunch with my granddaughter at the Mall Deli for lunch. Even though they were very busy, I was so impressed by the fast service we received...and the food was delicious. Kudos to the staff from those who seated us to the waitress, and the very pleasant lady at the cash register. Highly recommend this place for travelers passing thru Pittsburg. Left with a smile and a full stomach! read more

So when my dad mentioned going to the mall to eat I was a little surprised. I mean, I know it's Pittsburg and there's not a lot to choose from, but the mall? Really? Really! This place was awesome! We had been eating a lot of crappy, heavy, greasy food and just wanted something light....before diving back into the heavy, greasy food; hey it was vacation! So we decided on a salad and man that was one huge, yummy, amazing salad! And only $4.99. Yes, this place has some great prices and some great food. And it's busy. But everyone was kind, and helpful and efficient and you don't realize you're in a mall in Pittsburg, KS. The parents had sandwiches and they looked really yummy as well....and the creamy Italian dressing that everyone raves about? TRY. IT. It is delicious. I just wanted to use a straw and drink it but that seemed a bit excessive; instead we squirted it on Club crackers an enjoyed that way. If you're ever in Pittsburg, KS, go here. You will not regret it, and neither will your pocketbook! read more

This is a staple dining place in Pitt! I attempt to order other items but keep coming back to the French Dip toasted with grilled onions. All the sandwiches come wit a side of chips.

The prices are very reasonable. read more

Love their chicken salad sandwich- I always come by mall deli when I'm back in my college town!

I'm a townie and have been going to Mall Deli for years. Fantastic food, the Big Matt is the best, but I give 1 star because of 1 star management. The general manager Jim and his assistant manager Jane scream and hound their staff day in and day out, practically treating them like slaves. I go for the food and make sure to generously tip the staff because they work HARD considering how they're treated. read more
