We stumbled upon Westside deli while in the area. This is a seat yourself establishment. Our server came over pretty quickly to take our drink orders. The service was friendly and pleasant. The menu offers lots of different sandwiches, etc. For starters. I had onion rings. They were a nice portion. Crispy outside with a warm tender onion inside. I really enjoyed these! I also had the Reuben( w/t Russian dressing) it comes with chips. The sandwich was nicely made but did lack in a flavor a bit. Overall, I enjoyed my first time visit here. Typical deli atmosphere. The restaurant is clean and decorated with different memorabilia. Westside deli is located in a shopping complex/strip mall. Plenty of parking available! read more

Ate lunch here with my auntie an it was great. This place is inside a strip mall so you may miss it if you're not looking for it. I'm just glad my auntie had already been here an wanted to take me. The food an service were both great. Started with some fried pickles were so good . My aunt had a Reuben, which was very good. I had a Cuban It was also very good and crispy. French fries Fresh from the fryer. They have plenty of options for food, which is great. And all the prices are very reasonable. read more

Large portions on Cuban sandwich. Unique bread would like smaller bread but more crunchy. But excited about going back to try more and prices are fair. read more

We tried this little place the other night on a whim! It was packed, with only two waitresses working! We thought about leaving but Im glad we stayed! The food was delicious! Beer was cold! Im glad we found this little hole in the wall, as we will definitely be back!! read more

Food 5 stars, Service 3 stars Price 1 star.most The food is very good, the service is average but the prices are over the top. Their drinks are almost as pricy as a sandwith. There is a 500% profit on drinks and they are milking it. read more

It's decent food. The portions were small for the price. Service was average. The location is convenient, and they weren't too busy, so a quick lunch is very possible here. read more

Great sandwiches, food and beer not too expensive. Been going for a long time and never had a bad meal.

I got the Shrimp Po Boy with sauce and chips and it was delicious. Freshly seasoned with lots of shrimp, tomatoes and lettuce. Nice homemade food. My dad ordered a strawberry shortcake with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. I tried a bite and that was good too. Well worth the money. read more

The sandwiches here are of a good size and service is great! Just that occasionally there's a slightly unpleasant oily aftertaste in some of the hot sandwiches you can order but nothing too crazy. The bread may have varying qualities at times. Not a deli I go to regularly but if you want a quick bite to eat not a bad place to consider. The interior is a bit dark and it feels split between a sports bar and also a traditional deli? Also they have a whole bunch of desserts on display that no one seems to touch. Odd. read more

I got the "super" (large size) cheese sub with extra veggies. Served with a generous sized CRM fresh and crisp pickle spear. I ordered this to go I was slightly disappointed in the to go chips, when dining in the chips are the extra crunchy ones with ridges to go orders are the wise brand chips. I added jalapeño to my sub (paid extra) but didn't receive any on my sub, not a problem while dining in but left me wanting more out of my veggie sub. The good: fresh fresh fresh ingredients including a perfectly soft sub roll. The veggie sub was so loaded with cheese and veggies that it was hard to even notice there was no meat and it left me as satisfied as a turkey club. The sub was so good this place gets four stars even though it was missing the good chips and jalapeño. read more

I usually get my sandwiches Door-dashed to me. Even with that, the Westside Deli "Rachel" sandwich always arrives perfect. Toasted just right, not soggy and the proper amount of sauerkraut, pastrami and dressing. Some sandwich shops lose their minds with the toppings - way too much. Westside Deli gets it right. Thank you..! read more

I've ordered for pickup a few times now and have been satisfied with the service and quality! They have waitstaff and a great seating area, which I wouldn't have expected from a deli. The workers have been friendly and accommodating to substitutions in my orders. I think the highlight may actually be their sweet potato fries believe it or not. They're seasoned well and the perfect amount of crispy, better than a lot of other restaurants in town. As far as their sandwiches go, it's pretty standard and nothing too special. They pack them with enough cheese and veggies, though I could make a very similar sandwich myself for a lot cheaper. The onion rings were a bit stale-tasting (something wrong with their breading). Overall, it's significantly better than going to subway or Jersey Mike's. And I absolutely will come back for the fries. read more

Walking-in: There was a bad stench walking in and I just couldn't get over it. I had thought that I walked into the wrong store. My friend pointed out to me that it was the smell of Chinese food (which confused me further) which I didn't like. (1/5) Expectations: I thought I was going into a sandwich shop by the name "deli"... do not be fooled, it is a sit down so prepare a tip. (2/5) Service: Our waiter was excellent. He asked us what we wanted to drink before we even sat down. He was probably too quick, but it is better than too slow. Very attentive to our drinks and needs always checking in on us. (5/5) Prices: there were decent prices. I may have misread the menu, but when I subbed fries for the chips they charged me $2.50. So make sure to read carefully. (4/5) Food: The fries were bland but the burger was fairly good. (4/5) read more

I love the sandwiches at Westside Deli; especially the pastrami and cornbeef sandwiches w/sauerkraut. Sandwiches are usually accompanied with chips and a pickle spear. The bread is always fresh as well as the meats. I tried the pasta salad for the 1st time and it was delicious. They also have a nice variety of sliced pies and cakes for your sweet tooth. The customer service is excellent. When placing a to go order it is made very quickly. The food holds up well if you get a take out order for home. read more

I've been here about 15 times in the last 5 years and the food always satisfies. The inside has a mom and pop restaurant type feel, nothing fancy. The food is reasonably priced, even though a few menu prices have been increased in recent months. You go here for the sandwiches and burgers. I always get the hot Italian sub, with chips. It's a good one! I recently tried the Cuban and it was super tasty too. Also, the food is always hot, fresh, fast and tasty! A good stop for lunch or dinner with friends. read more

Best sub I've had in many moons. Highly recommended. Fast and friendly service, treated us like regulars.

Consistent quality subs. Locally owned casual spot with very friendly service. Draft beer prices are surprisingly economical. My favorite sandwich is the Sailor. read more

Delicious sandwich. Po-boy sandwich was great. The shrimp was meaty, juicy, and perfectly fried. Bread was perfectly toasted as well. There was a yummy side sauce, and they didn't close the sandwich to keep everything crispy. The Reuben was crisp on the outside and tender from the inside. Great acidity from the sauerkraut. There pickles were big and juicy. Would definitely eat here again. read more

Deli / pub-ish The Westside Deli is not a deli in the sense that a New Yorker would relate to - it is similar in some respects but it is different in many ways. For example, a true deli is famous for breakfast sandwiches. This place does not open before 11 so that whole slice of deli specialty goes out the window. The Westside is open for lunch and dinner and that is when it start to resemble more of what you would expect of a deli. They have a fairly extensive menu of sandwiches and appetizers, many with names right out of the old neighborhoods in NYC - nice touch. Where this place veers off from deli and into pub territory is that they have a bunch of beer taps and alcohol available and typically the beers are fairly cheap. The deserts are pretty much store bought and standard. This is a very casual place - the sandwiches / fries etc. all come out in plastic baskets and the furnishings are pretty dated - the place could certainly use a face lift. Prices are typical for this area: i.e.: cheap. Portions are large and frankly, they make some very tasty food here. Servers run the gamut from full on awesome to pokey, but they are all very friendly which certainly helps. There is a small patio behind the place to sit outside if that is your thing. They do have some live music on Tuesdays, but it ends on the earlier side of the evening. I want to say that they also have a happy hour- but please check before you go on that. Parking in front. read more

Used to come here regularly. The food is not awesome but is good & has a varied selection of different sandwiches as well as salads & a few hot dishes. The owners are hard working people running the kitchen. Unfortunately several of the wait staff who I believe are related to the owners often do not get orders correctly but we are pretty forgiving people & usually overlook it after they correct it. The last time we were there, my friend ordered a beer he had not had before. After receiving it and taking a sip of it, he realized that it was not the beer he ordered. The waitress was adamant about she could not take it back or refund it because he had taken a sip. Well, I guess they don't need our $100-150 we used to spend there 1-2X/month. read more

Upon moving to the Lynchburg area several months ago, my wife and I were looking for a non-chain restaurant that we could sit down for a casual meal, sandwich, or just a drink and some appetizers. I'm happy to say that we found it in the Westside Deli! Nestled away in a small, nondescript shopping center, the atmosphere is very casual, yet homey. The menu? Plenty of varieties of sandwhiches that you've probably seen in many deli cafe type places, but also including burgers, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks (including fine spirits and a generous selection of beers on tap!), and even some desserts on display. My wife and I started with a "happy hour" sized portion of Fried Pickles ($3), which came out hot, with a crispy coating that didn't overpower or take away from the pickle itself. My wife ordered the Shrimp Salad sandwhich, while I ordered the 'Westside Club'. Both sandwiches were generous with their toppings, and with the additional .99 upcharge for crinkle-cut fries (delicious!), we were completely stuffed. The Shrimp Salad had the right balance of mayo and seasoning, which had a distinct taste of black pepper with some cayenne pepper in there, as well. Very savory. My club sandwich had fresh turkey, crispy bacon, and was perfectly proportioned. My mother, who was born in NYC and is a deli snob, would love these. On the way out, we got 2 Cheesecake Bites for .50 each. Both were extremely creamy and a delicious cap to the meal. Service this evening was a bit on the slower side, but the kitchen appeared shorthanded, so the friendly service staff made up for it with constant checks to refill drinks, check on order status, etc. That's why there is no penalty for that here. If you're expecting 5 star cuisine, you're not in the right place. However, if you're looking for a great place to sit down, enjoy a sandwich, burger, or drink, and stay for a while, a trip to the Westside will suit you just fine. read more

Westside Deli - The main dining room, with the kitchen in the background. - Delis Near Me - Lynchburg, Virginia

Ate there with a friend yesterday evening and had Sarah as our waitress. Sarah didn't seem at all attentive to the needs of myself and my friend. She seemed like she didn't want to be serving us if not anyone. She is very nasty to the other young waitresses and kitchen staff and treats them like they are incompetent! She asked if our bill was going to be together or separate and when my friend answered she immediately turned and walked away while my friend was trying to tell her he wanted dessert. She comes back with our checks and my friend tells her he would like a piece of cake and she got pissy and mad. She goes to put our cake orders onto our bills and slams our checks on the counter in anger. To sum things up Sarah is the worst waitress I have ever had and her customer service is piss poor. The food is great but her service makes me not want to eat there again! read more

We had a girls day today, horrible day at Joy nails, and we were hungry! We had the best waitress! On top of her game! The food was excellent! Great variety of food as well! Our server made our experience so great you wouldn't know we just had a nail bleed from a horrible mail tech lol! She made our day! The whole day turned around for the better, I wish I would've caught her name! Next time... and there will be many next times! Thank you!!!!!! read more

From the outside, it looks a bit rough around the edges but inside is very well kept. Mural is beautiful and the food is fantastic. My s/o ordered the Reuben and said it's the best he's had in Va! The Bronx (roast beef and Brie) was also delicious. Great menu variety, 5+ dessert options and beer on tap. Great little place! We'll be back! read more

All praise the 9th wonder of the world, the gracious and delicious Westside Deli. One time, my friend went here and was really sad (but not because of Westside). They have amazing super-sized beers for cheap, so he got one and then got super-drunk, because he's a super-small man. While being drunk, he tried to steal a big beer mug, drop his food on the floor, and then tried fight a table full of geriatrics. Anyway. Thank you for not kicking us out, and thank you for having the most amazing and heart warming fried pickles. NOW ONWARD TO VALHALLA read more

Amazingly simple place. Great prices and good food. I will definately be coming back.

Had a case at the Social Security Administration hearing office and needed a quick lunch before I headed home. Yelp tells me there's a 4.5 star deli right across the street so of course I don't hesitate. Only one thing wrong: this place should have 5 stars! My sandwich, called Stan's sub (a delicious take on an Italian featuring a thick slice of bologna), showed up within 5 minutes of me ordering it. Kenzie never let my (large) glass of tea go empty and even offered me a to-go cup as I paid the bill. The service was great and the price was right. I'll be back! read more

Outstanding chili cheese fries and sandwiches. Very polite service and would return anytime.

Wow this deli is really, really good. Short version - make a stop with any excuse possible. I came here for lunch the other day with a deli craving and it was surely satisfied. During the lunch hour they were moderately busy but services wasn't shaken by it at all. There were several attentive waitresses taking orders and serving customers. They have quite the surprising selection of beers on tap for a deli but being lunch I didn't get the chance to try any. Dually noted though. The menu - it is extensive with a wide range of deli sandwiches to choose from (both hot and cold) so no one will leave disappointed. I went with the Knockwurst which was very good and well prepared with just the right about of spice. A solid choice if you do desire. One regret about this place - not getting dessert. I saw several different cakes to choose from but when I ordered fries on the side I didn't have the room. I guess I'll just have to return for a repeat sandwich and cake - until next time. 5/5 - absolutely will return. Definitely recommend. read more

This is a fantastic little deli. I'm quite shocked for any bad reviews. I have been going to this place for over ten years. I have never had a bad experience once. The staff is always eccentric along with the owners who make a lot from scratch. I enjoy the atmosphere of different. You can go in there dressed to the hilt or in active wear. You're going to feel like you belong. The food is excellent and fresh. The Italian sub is the best I've had anywhere. You can customize the size of subs. Which is great since I can't eat so much in one sitting and don't care for doggy bags. The fried pickles can be enjoyed by someone who doesn't even like pickles. They have these munchers I don't even care what's in them. They are that good. Nothing is pretentious or over done or garnished for no reason. It's straight up food and a large diverse menu. The oyster poboy is epic. The children's menu is ridiculous priced. You basically get full sized portions for 6 bucks. They burgers are fresh and my very picky daughter kills it even with romain lettuce on it. I have never cared for crinkle cut fries but I eat theirs. I'm a sober person and they serve a large variety of alcohol but there's no bar and the atmosphere is not offensive or aggressive. You barely even notice alcohol is being served. Even the customers are fabulous that go there. They have many regular customers that eat there almost every day. You WILL NOT be disappointed for this stop. And I didn't even mention the made from scratch desserts that hit you right in the face upon arrival in a beautiful case. Don't pass up the experience. read more

Probably better for lunch than dinner. I'm not really a big fan of eating sandwiches for dinner. It's kinda like eating spaghetti for breakfast. I've done it, but I don't do it often. So I tried to find something that wasn't a sandwich and settled on the chicken BBQ plate with slaw and a basket of onion rings. Onion rings were very good and didn't taste frozen. The chicken BBQ looked like vomit on a plate and was cold. The slaw was room temperature and just slightly warmer than the BBQ. Everybody else at the table agreed to a collective "meh." I might go back for lunch. I may eat spaghetti for breakfast tomorrow also. read more
