Roman's may be small on space but it's big on flavor. ChatGPT said theirs is one of the top Ruben's in Toledo and I have to agree. Thin shaved beef piled high with good kraut and sauce. They offer three sizes (how high the meat is stacked) and we got the middle (Original) size which was plenty! Besides a great regular Ruben, the rocket Ruben comes with added pastrami which takes it over the top. Prices are not the cheapest but worth every penny. Staff was all smiles and service, too. read more

If they can get your order right, the food is mediocre. small storefront not that easy on the eyes. but if you need a quick sandwich with incorrect toppings, this might be the place for you. read more

Local owned sandwich shop. This place is a tiny building with huge flavor. Pastrami was not the best I've had, but it was good. Service extremely friendly, food tasty, ambiance very fun. I highly recommend this place for all your sandwich cravings. read more

Roman's Deli - Turkey - Delis Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Had lunch there on Monday. I know this was the first business day for them after Thanksgiving, but... The pastrami was extremely dried out and tasteless. Really disappointing considering how good I know their pastrami can be. I also requested a side of coleslaw. So, I'm pretty sure they don't make their sides. The coleslaw had a really offensive taste to it. It wasn't spoiled, but it was just awful. I took 3 bites and threw it away. Aside from the flavor, the texture was fine. not soggy, not mushy, just horrible flavor. I'm giving them a 2 this time because the customer service was great. Unfortunately, they really need to watch their product a little closer and reconsider their source for their sides. read more

Best Corned beef sandwiches. I love this Deli, the service is fast. I will only come to this place for a good corned beef sandwich.

This place makes the best Reuben sandwich! We ordered here for work one day and everyone was super pleased. The sandwiches are good sized and the corn beef is made in house. The meat is cut super thin but doesn't diminish the flavor whatsoever. They also make their own pickle that are excellent. I highly recommend this place. read more

Sandwiches are pretty good. Called in order ahead of time which was a waste of time as I still had to wait for about 15 minutes as my order was only made after I got there. Also, don't like to get a receipt that is not broken down. I like to see what I'm being charged for read more

This sandwich melts in your mouth and is delicious to Perfection. I rate it 8 stars if I could. If you are in Toledo this is a must stop! read more

Great service. I was in a wheelchair and staff and customers were very helpful. Will go again if I am downtown read more

One of the best pastrami Reuben's I have had I Anywhere in the USA This place is on my food map of the states! read more

It was a great experience. The owner was very friendly and even knew orbs corned beef places in Detroit what I'm from. I loved the food and service!!!! read more

Excellent sandwiches. Period. Add chips and a pop to your order for an extra buck. Try the homemade grape leaves, hummus or Greek salad. The menu is limited, but oddly, it doesn't feel limited; it feels refreshing instead of overwhelming. Downsides: limited hours (which do feel limited; 9 to 5, weekdays) and difficult parking. Don't let that stop you from going, however. Roman's is worth the extra effort it takes to get there. read more

We were visiting in town for a few days and were looking around for a good place to eat. We found this sandwich shop and decided to try it out. The moment we walked in we felt the small, family style vibe. Everyone was so friendly and they even had us try their famous pastrami and Rueben. We went back back another day. Amazing place to check out if you're in Toledo!! read more

After having many Corned Beef sandwiches from the different Cleveland Deli's, my favorite being Superior Deli. I had moved back to the Toledo area almost 3 years ago and had yet to find a good Corned Beef that measured up in height and taste of what Superior Deli offered...until today! Your sandwiches are amazing! I will definitely be coming back!! You even gave my Daughter and I a sample of Hot Pastrami...we couldn't say enough about how good it was!! Thank you so much for making this girl VERY HAPPY!!! 15 STARS!!! read more

All I can say is corned beef should not be preportioned and then heated in the microwave. The brisket should be held hot in a steam table and carved to order. Also, the bread is too thin and falls apart. Waste of a prime space and good concept. read more

Best corned beef spot.! You won't find another good corned beef spot in Toledo periodt! You might as well not look nowhere else and get a corn beef sandwich from roman deli! read more

We were traveling on the turnpike and given the pathetic options for food found there, we ventured into Toledo to find something better. Found this deli on Yelp and I was excited. I LOOOOOVVE me some pastrami and corned beef. So I was hopeful when I saw the great reviews for this place. It's a cute enough little shop right across from what seems to be City Hall or something similar in downtown Toledo. We ordered a corned beef sandwich and a pastrami sandwich. For a dollar each, we got a small bag of chips and a can of pop each. Pretty good deal so far. The place was clean and the staff friendly, but at the end of the day, the food has to be good. Aaaaand it just wasn't. As we're eating our sandwiches, both Sean and I kept saying that something just tasted weird. The meat had a definitely weird flavor that was definitely NOT what you normally taste with corned beef and pastrami. After a few more bites and discussion, we decided what it tasted like - HOT DOGS. I kid you not, the exact flavor of the meat on my sandwich was that of a hot dog. Gross. The pickle was also not good. The bag of cheese curls was orange-flavored styrofoam. The only thing good about the meal was the Dr. Pepper. Sorry, Roman's. You just can't hold a candle to my beloved TJ and Mr. Brisket in the CLE. We'll stop elsewhere next time. read more

Roman's Deli - a counter with a newspaper on it - Delis Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Working downtown this week and in need of a quick lunch to-go, I perused the Yelp reviews and decided to give Roman's Deli a try. Walking to the establishment, it really is just as tiny as others have indicated! As the only patron in the deli, both employees stared at me in awkward silence while I looked over the menu. Settling on the corned beef sandwich described in so many reviews, the staff sprung to action and quickly prepared my order. Ringing me up, the cashier, uttering his only words during my entire visit, said, "six dollars." Glancing back at the menu board which showed $5.99 for the corned beef, I rolled my eyes, figuring he was either rounding up, the posted price was out of date and had been increased by a penny, or he just really wanted a 1¢ tip. Regardless, I passed him a five and a one, then said "thank you" with a smile, but only received a blank stare back. If the cashier had asked if I would like to make it a combo, I would have gladly purchased the chips-and-soda upgrade, however I guess interacting with customers is not their thing. Back at my office, I hungrily opened my lunch and was impressed by the good size of the sandwich, and especially the very generous portion of corned beef bursting at its seams! Even better was the taste, with the delicious and expertly sliced corned beef practically melting in my mouth! Additionally the two pickle spears that came with the sandwich were the perfect blend of crunchy and tangy. While I loved the setting, large servings, and great tastes, it could not completely make up for the inconsistent price and sketchy customer service, which, in my view, holds the restaurant back from being a truly top-tier establishment. Regardless, I rate Roman's Deli as being Very Good, and will definitely be returning! read more

You really have to keep an eye out for this small, free-standing deli in downtown Toledo. Try a half pastrami, half turkey reuben. You won't regret it. read more

I had heard about the corned beef sandwiches at Roman's Deli and finally had the opportunity to venture downtown the Friday after 4th of July to try one. I must say, it was, hands down, the best corned beef sandwich I've had in years. The corned beef was absolutely delicious. If you're looking for a good sandwich while in downtown Toledo, you must stop at Roman's Deli - I promise you, it won't be a disappointment. read more

I am known by many names. Mr Last Minute, Mr Cheap, and of course Mr Don't Get Out of the Car if you dont have to. This place fits at least 2 of my 3 alter-egos. I discovered this place a few years ago while renewing my license to operate a public vehicle. Usually, I would go to City Hall with my driving partner and while he would be upstairs getting his license I would orbit the block a few thousand times. It was during one of these times I discovered Romans. I scoffed at first because the place was so tiny. There's not a lot of room for the customers here, so be warned. You may have to wait outside for a few minutes. I decided to try it before I got around to hating it. I never got that far. I ordered the Corned Beef, and since being exiled to the Land of No Decent Jewish Food, I wondered how good it really could be. I had been to the Bread Basket in Oak Park, not to mention the gone but never to be forgotten Lefkowskys Deli on Broadway in Downtown Detroit, so when it comes to Corned Beef, I know from what I''m talking about and I am super critical on how my sandwich should be made. 6 dollars buys a huge sandwich which for me is right down my alley. I am a big guy and I need food to live. This was it. The one thing that bothered me was the mustard choices. There is but one mustard at Romans and it has all the charm of downtown Toledo on a Monday night. I mean, bland and boring and as yellow as my cab was. Not good. But that is a minor, very minor detail. Don't even think of parking there. There is none. So I did the next best thing, I went inside and spoke to the owner. I arranged it so I could have my sandwich brought our to my cab instead of risking a parking ticket from the cash starved City of Toledo. For that I always threw the guy an extra buck, Hey, for that kind of service it's worth it. They are not open on weekends, but could be. I think he'd make a mint during Mudhen games, but thats just me. read more

Stumbled across this gem while looking for a good sandwich. Friendly owner & staff. Recommended the Ruben and it was excellent. Open 9-5 so they're not one of these places that closes at 2pm...thankfully. Small place with BIG taste. Don't pass this one up. I'll be back and soon! read more

A tiny place with huge sandwiches! Great customer service. You definitely can't go wrong stopping at Roman's Deli. read more

Roman's Deli - Roast Beef on Rye - Delis Near Me - Toledo, Ohio

Roman's continues to be a quick and easy place to go to lunch on the weekdays, with a solid menu that doesn't leave you guessing for hours, and a friendly staff that make you feel like you've been friends for years. Parking and the strength/quality of the bread seem to be the only downsides I can find. read more

If you want a real sandwich it's the Jumbo Rocket. OMG is is big an juicy One of the best sandwiches I have had. Top Notch. Carry out only. Wish they had Onion Rolls. read more

This is a strong 4.5 stars. The pastrami was a little mushey but melted in your mouth. The Reuben was great. Sauerkraut had a nice flavor. Pickles were not overbearing but again a little soft. The place is like a food truck without the wheels. No inside seating. Prices are a bargain at $6.50 and $6.00. I will be back! read more

I am from Cleveland, where we have great corned beef if you know where to go - like Slyman's. I was in Toledo and ran into this place. The Yelp reviews were decent, so I gave it a shot. Most of the menu was corned beef, so I ordered a Reuben. The owner grabbed a lump of cold corned beef and microwaved it. Bad sign. The sandwich was a terrible mess of fatty junk. It fell apart in my hands. I ate about a third and gave up between the poor quality of the meat and the mess. I ate the pickle and bag of chips and threw the rest in the garbage. Roman's sucks. read more

I have indulged in many reubens in my life time but none come close to the awesomeness that is a reuben from Roman's deli. The freshly sliced corned beef melts in your mouth and the rest of the flavors came in waves of Swiss, rye and dressing. This may seem like an extreme review for such a simple deli setting but between the quality of the food and the wonderful conversation with the owner it was a truly great lunch experience. If you are in down town during weekday business hours do yourself a favor and stop in for a bite. read more

Love this place! I get the rocket every time...half corned beef half pastrami...so good! No where to sit in here so be warned! The staff is always friendly, helpful and fun! read more

Stopped for the first time today. Sandwiches were awesome and a good portion too. We had the Reubens ......absolutely delish. Will definitely go again read more

This is a great place to grab a sandwich. I try to make it there at least once a week. Their prices are very reasonable and you get a great sandwich in return. Currently my favorite is the corned beef on rye, but I've never had a bad sandwich here. The workers and owners are very friendly. Would definitely recommend anyone who works downtown to give them a shot. read more

I love corned beef and pastrami. This is the very best version of either of these I've had in Toledo. Lean, flavorful, melt in your mouth.If you live or work downtown, this needs to be a weekly stop. read more

Hands down, this place makes the best Rubin in Toledo. Small place located at the northern side of downtown Toledo, it can be a little hard to park, sometimes. But the sandwiches are well worth the hassle. read more

This is a real gem. Fantastic food and great service. This is the best deli and all of Toledo!!! Prices are cheap, portions are huge.

The portions are generous, but the sandwiches are so-so. The corned beef and pastrami are pre-sliced and come in buckets. Corned beef should be served on Jewish rye and not the poor excuse for rye bread that we got. The pastrami had no flavor and very little seasoning. Overall, we left disappointed. read more

I love this place. Roman's has the best corn beef sandwhiches in town. I come here periodically and I always have a good experience when I come here the owner is a very nice man and you can tell he loves what he does read more
