I love Old World Deli and should make it a point to come here more often, as I've always enjoyed my dining experience. The sandwiches are delicious, the house-made potato chips are nice and crunchy, and there's some great drink options. Plus, there's often live music. It's never been empty when I've stopped in, but I've never had issues with grabbing a table. There are some high seats and tables as well as some lower ones, and self-serve water and drinking glasses in the dining area. You order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. Service is friendly and it never takes too long for your food to arrive at your table. Old World Deli is in my top 3 sandwich spots in Corvallis. This is a great place to take a friend or a medium-sized (4-6) group of people for a sandwich and perhaps a show. Plus, the ambiance, decor, and painted ceiling are really cool! read more

Order @ counter, and food brought to you. Everything tasty and fresh. Beer and cider on tap, in addition to soda/lemonade. Water available around corner. Casual atmosphere-but a bit dark and cold-not uncomfortable, but didn't linger much after eating. Would return! read more

This is an absolutely charming deli (with plenty of excellent draft beer and cocktail options) in downtown Corvalis. Highly recommended. We tried a pulled pork sandwich that was terrific. It was extremely flavorful and came with a ton of homemade (I think) chips. If you like potato salad, get that instead of the coleslaw, if you can. The potato salad is definitely homemade and it is loaded with dill. It is outstanding. We also tried a turkey and cheese sandwich and the ingredients were very fresh. This was a very nice sandwich. The bourbon barrel brown beer was wonderful, if you like that particular style. They also have many soft drink options. The decor is delightful. There are paintings on the ceiling and other fun interior design features everywhere. It' may not be the Sistine Chapel but, come on, you have to just marvel at and appreciate all the effort someone expended making this place look so darn cool. Order at the counter and then grab a seat. We also tried the "world's best" brownie. It was soft and very good. The ranking may be a little high. This was a great find. read more

I tried the thin sliced pastrami sandwich with pickled onions and melted cheese. I came with crisps and a pickle. I added a hand crafted root beer. All for $23 plus tip. It was pretty quite on a Wednesday at 6:00. I counted ten other people. The staff was friendly and accommodating. read more

We happened across this place looking for a late night snack and found out they have live music too. We stopped in and the building is old and great, lots of history and nice little details. The music was excellent, the food was even better and will be stopping by anytime we are in the area again. You can't really go wrong with any choices, they all are made to order with great ingredients and the home made potato chips are amazing. Definitely a great place to take a date, enjoy some excellent food accompanied by live music and a good "old world" vibe. read more

Such a cool place to eat, the inside reminded me of sitting outside, kind of hard to describe. They don't have a huge menu, but they don't really need to because the sandwiches are a great variety. All the sandwiches come with house made chips, which are crispy and delicious. They also come with a pickle spear on the side, I'm not a huge fan of pickles, but the pickles were delicious. I ordered the hot pastrami, it was really good, good size portion of pastrami. It came with stone ground mustard on it, but I got mine on the side. My husband ordered the pulled pork sandwich, which comes with Cole slaw on it, made on a ciabatta roll. My daughter ordered the PB & J sandwich, it actually comes with bananas on it but she didn't want them. We ordered a side of the potato salad, also house made, it was so good !!! Had dill in it, which I love. Overall it was a great lunch and I definitely want to come back again. read more

Found this place yesterday. Just ate there again. Saw mixed reviews, but honestly both the turkey sandwich I had yesterday and the pastrami I had today were amazing. Loved the potato salad. My husband is the pickiest eater out there and will only order the same thing every time we go anywhere. He ordered different items and thoroughly enjoyed both. We will definitely be adding this place to our rotation. read more

This is our go-to deli in Corvallis. Sandwiches are always very, very good. The service is a bit slow so you have to deal with that. In the evening. They'll have entertainment. Perhaps a band or a solo artist. You will not go away hungry from a place like this. I also like it that they have the Mexican cokes to drink. Pretty large menu so you can get whatever sandwich you would like. Give them a try! read more

Fresh friendly and YES Old World charm. Our first visit and we loved it. Sandwiches were terrific. Well made and delicious. Service was prompt and we found the ambience to our liking. Great college town Deli. Thank you. read more

The ambience was wonderful with the open music and surroundings. The food portions were wonderful for the price.

If you live in the area and you haven't been to this place, go. I really love the idea behind this restaurant. There is a huge stage up front where they host performances, and the walls (and ceiling) are covered in really awesome art. The atmosphere is extremely comforting and the staff behind the counter really helps their customers feel that way. If you want something thats filling and not overwhelming, the Mighty Veggie is a great option. The sautéed mushrooms with avocado is such a delicious combination. And with your chips I recommend you ask for their house creamy ranch! Its sooooooo good! I'll be coming back (: read more

Saturday evening in Corvallis and the Old World Deli has live music. Skip the Millers was playing loud and proud. Which means seating was troublesome... I don't know what it's like when there isn't a band but I hope there are more seats available during regular dining. I ordered the Mighty Meaty sandwich and a 20oz Pfriem IPA, the total bill was $14 plus tip. The sand which was fresh and tasty but uninspiring. Don't get me wrong... it was a good sandwich built with quality ingredients, but it wasn't "special". Nothing signature about it. Maybe I'm being picky, but this place could kick that sucker up a notch easily. The homemade potato chips were delicious, not too salty and only one was less crispy than I would have liked. There was a pickle slice that I particularly enjoyed but it was tiny and in some ways felt like an afterthought. I would have ordered extra pickles had I know how good it was going to be. The beer was pfriem... marvelous. They take Apple Pay and the service was good considering the crowd. The music surpassed 95 decibels most of the evening so my ears are ringing, but the band was good so I'm not complaining. Overall good meal, and fun place. I'd try it when there isn't live music to see what the atmosphere is like, but it has great potential. I'd go 4.5 stars but the sandwich was just good, not awesome. I'd recommend The Old World Deli without hesitation. read more

Old World Deli - Mighty Meaty unchanged from the menu... that pickle was good enough I wish it had been more robust. - Delis Near Me - Corvallis, Oregon

BEST LOX BAGEL I EVER HAD. The salmon is so fresh and it was a transcendent mouth experience of divine flavor of dill. I was like Remy from the movie Ratatouille when he eats with eyes closed to focus on the flavors. The mimosa was also yummy and gargantuan!! I love the atmosphere too; good service and good vibes made for an excellent brunch. read more

Wonderful deli in the heart of Corvallis. We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the delicious sandwiches. We especially enjoyed the homemade potato chips. The service was all around pretty much spot on for a "non-table service" place. From taking our order at the counter to delivering it to our table I would head back to the Old World Deli in a heart beat. read more

Love this spot! Fun lunch date place- I like that they have a lotta options for vegetarians and omnivorous people alike. I am generally a big fan of both delis and places with nice atmosphere and the Old World Deli happens to land in both categories. Plus there are shows there- haven't seen one yet but it seems like a fun venue. read more

One of the best pastrami sandwiches to be had! The meat is fresh, tasty and lean and the homemade pickles are yummy.

I had high hopes from other reviews. Pastrami sandwich was very dry and flavorless. The people were very friendly. read more

Stopped here because it was close to my hotel and more importantly, they have French Dip sandwiches. I'm always in search of a good one and boy I found it! I normally don't like cheese on mine (I don't like cheese) but I took a shot since Swiss isn't too bad and they added just enough and mixed it with the meat (instead of a slab on top). Amazing! House made chips (I assume) were excellent as well. Even the ice tea was good ole plain brewed iced tea. Walk up to order and they bring it to ya. Service was quick (I got there before the lunch rush) and everyone was really nice. Unique building and decor. Very glad I came. read more

Not impressed at all, when they rang up the food order they expected the tip. Haven't even got my food or served at all so a tip was not warranted. Took forever to get our food. Food was substandard would not recommend at all. Also places dirty in employees look sloppy. read more

Great ambience and great people, their tuna melt is slept on and is honestly quite good as is their smoked salmon bagel!

We ordered 'to go' sandwiches. While we waited, we had to have one of their brownies. It was so good we ordered 2 more and some cookies with the order. Really good sandwiches and cool low-key vibe. It was early in the day, so I'm sure it's a lot different in the evening. Staff was friendly and I was happy to see they participate in the Benton Box reusable to go containers. I would recommend this place. read more

Man, this place is simply amazing. It's not just the obvious things like the great sandwiches, how happy everyone is that's eating there, the amazing selections and fair prices!!! Nope, it's actually the little things that are really special. The home made everything! Pickles, chips, salads... oh my gosh that potato salad!!! Yes, please. read more

What a gem!! You can't tell from the street but super roomy high ceilings. Cool, casual vibe. Hot pastrami (they smoke their own) was sublime. Basic turkey add avocado and cheese...yum! French dip was a winner too and, the homemade chips, to.die.for. Get the homemade brownie too! Lives up to hype and even better heated. This will be a regular stop for us! read more

Good sandwiches and chips. Friendly staff. Ordered take out, but atmosphere inside looked relaxed and spacious.

Hot pastrami sandwich was amazing. Easily 11 out of 10. Homemade chips were ok. Kind of bland. I heard later that their desserts are also amazing but didn't try when I was there. read more
