Reviews for Blues City Deli in St. Louis, MO
Blues City Deli is by far St. Louie's best kept secret. For a BBQ capital the deli game is right up there with some of the... best nationwide. People say Gioia's Deli Hot Salami is a must have and a St. Louis staple. Personally I feel those criticshave never been to or heard of Blues City Deli. I've had both and my experience tells me Blues City Deli doesn't get the creditit deserves. After moving into the area some time ago and searching for the perfect deli sandwich after the closing of myfavorite Deli back home I have finally found it. The premium bread, meat, and cheese quality along with the fresh veggies andtoppings is what sets this place apart from all the rest. This place has all of the charm you would expect to see from a placethat has been around for 65 plus years. Vince is the man behind it all and his customer service excellence and his style issurely a reflection of the deli. He remembers your name and isn't afraid to chat. His experience and dedication shows. BluesCity Deli may not only be in my top 50, top 25, top 10, and top 5, but could very well take the cake for the best I've been to(and I travel the country regularly and have had the big names like Katz Deli NYC. If you haven't been here or it's been awhile, get your butt on down and support and promote this business with everything you can, it is a true local staple. Read more
Was out and about today since it was so nice & decided to visit the Best Sandwich Deli in town. Vinnie Valenza Blues City... Deli! Never know if they will have their Famous chili, lo & behold I got the last 2 Cups happy camper today! If you never triedtheir Chili you need too, it's the best tasting no bean Chili since OT Hodges closed. Next, their Orginal Roast Beef House-madeHot Roast Beef, Dressed with Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle, Onion & Mayo, Seeded French is Da Bomb, tons of meat so scumptous. Then,the Aporklypse on a Pretzel bun with Boom Boom sauce is a must try. Garlic-Peppered Pork Roast, Bacon, Provolone, Topped withPickle and Spicy* Boom Boom Sauce, Pretzel Roll. Now the new Sandwich which might be my new favorite one Creole Deluxe Home-madeRoast Beef, Pork Roast, Provolone, Arugula, Onion, Pepperoncini, With Homemade Creole-Mayo & A Dash Of Italian Vinegar-Oil,Seeded French. Most surprising of all everything and I mean everything is Homemade along with reasonable prices. If your luckyenough on the weekend to drop in and hear some amazing Blues Bands. You can sit outside or inside weather permitting ofcourse. The staff is awesome as well you might catch Vinnie working the front counter. Big Shout Out to Amber & her newfurrybaby Blaze, congratulations on getting one of Skippys cousin. If you their early or after 2:00 you won't have a line, butknow the line moves really fast so don't leave or you will miss out big time. Read more
The Thunderbird was incredible. Just the right balance of flavors, and just the right size. The sauce on it was so good. Spicy,... creamy, and a little tart. On this trip we were looking for the best sandwiches that represented the cities we were in. At eachstop I asked the counter person to order my sammie. I?m not sure how I?ve never been to Blues City Deli before but I will beback. Read more
This restaurant was recommended by my friend, so I decided to give it a try. I was warned about a line of customers waiting. I... was able to find a street parking next to the restaurant. The line looked long but it moved pretty quickly. I was able to getmy sandwich in 15 minutes. There were 4 tables inside and 6 tables outside. The inside decor was unique. The restaurant wasclean and staff were friendly. I ordered Delta Bayou. The meat was juice and the dressing was perfect with a little spice intoit. I absolutely loved my sandwich. The price was reasonable. I will definitely repeat. Read more
On a recent visit, we were pleased to see patrons inside and outside of the deli, but with a short line. We have had to wait in... the past, but it is never long, and the staff are friendly. On our recent visit, we ordered the Benton Park and the 7th StreetSicilian. We were not disappointed and cannot wait to return for another outstanding meal. Or, as our friends challenged us, totry everything on the menu one meal at a time. Well done all! Read more
Amazing lunch spot if you?re near downtown area. Went here on my lunch break and the line was super quick. The staff was... friendly and helpful she recommended a great sandwich. Glad this place is close to work because I?ll be back! Read more
This place has sandwiches that put everyone to shame, fast service and friendly workers. I really can't praise this place... enough, their Po'boys live up to the name with a great price and a even greater taste. The entire menu is fairly good priced andthe building is just soaked with culture and history. I got the Benton Park with a bottled grape soda and a 'Dads Cookie's andwas wowed by all of it, on top of that they had Ski and Cherry Ski on tap. Truly a 5 star sandwich joint, if roast beef and anPo'boys are your game, then this is the place to be! Read more
One of my top favorite sandwich shops!! My husband and I love coming here. Everything I?ve tried here is amazing! The Benton... park sandwich is perfect. Only the REAL sandwich shops have red hot riplets chips, so those are a must! The people are always sofriendly, and the line moves fast. Love that they play jazz music. The only thing I don?t like is they make their onions superthin, and they get stuck in my teeth. Other than that it?s amazing!! Read more
