Smallman Street Deli

Terrible and over priced............ I stopped for the first time with a friend..I will never ever go back..The food was lousy and over priced.From a stale bun to just two thin slices of over cooked meat(both roast beef and turkey)to all the onions on one half, to way to much horse rashish sauce, to forgetting the hot peppers, and charging me $9..We each had a sandwitch and a cup of soup, bought four quarts of soup to go, and $48 dollars later, I ended walking out with huge dissapointment..........…

Greatly Disappointed. We have been customers of the Smallman Street Deli ever since it opened several years ago. We are retired now and get into town less than we used to. My wife used to work at Nordic in the Strip. It has been about two years since our last visit.

When the Smallman Street Deli first opened on Smallman Street there was an absolute effort to be a genuine deli. It was never cheap but true quality rarely is

inexpensive. I enjoued going there and was always satisfied both with service and with quality.

Something has happened! They no longer care!

The tomatoes and pickles that used to be on the tables have disappeared. When I asked about them they blamed the health department and did not offer to get us anything.

I ordered chopped liver and learned that it had been removed from the menu. I ordered a hot pastrami on rye with swiss cheese and a side of cole slaw. The pastrami was shavings off the end, was dry, chewy and far below average. The side of slaw had been pushed onto the sandwich. and the bread was dry. Apparently the highly trained sandwich builder was a Pramanti's reject.

I did not complain because my wife was trying to enjoy herself.

We had looked forward to this lunch. It was aweful. We will never go back.

What a disastrous reversal.…

Rude Service. I had the opportunity to visit the Smallman Street Deli for lunch today. The gentleman (I use this word loosely) behind the counter - it could be the manager was so rude and condescending. He made disparaging comments about me and said that I looked confused. If I wanted help I could seek psychiatric counseling in the back. He was not funny. He then came around to all the tables and insulted people again. I will never go back there again. It is not worth the rude and disrespectful service.…

Best Sandwich in 'Burgh. I absolutely love The Smallman Street Deli. Since the Sq. Hill location has opened I much more frequently make it to that location. It's closer to home, open evenings and weekends and offers a larger menu...including great breakfast options. To me, there is NOTHING BETTER than Smallman Street Deli's grilled Reuben Sandwich. Go try one, with fries and a cold beverage. It is heaven on earth. Plus I love to much on fresh crunchy pickles (they serve for free) while my sandwich is being grilled. I have never had a bad meal here, I love the atmosphere, the staff and above all the old-school-style rib sticking great grub.…
