“It was a dark and stormy afternoon.... I was wandering around Ames mid-day last week with a lot of time on my hands. At Lunch time, I didn't feel like a sit down waiter restaurant, nor did I want to go into HyVee and choose a pre-wrapped Sammy. So after a little Yelp searching, the West Street Deli came up. West Street Deli is just down the street from my Ames Barber (Troy) and just as close to Mother's Pub. The street is its own little business District, and feels far away from Lincoln Way. I ordered a Cajun Tuna Melt which was unlike any sandwich of this type that I had experienced. It was well prepared and was flavorful in many ways, including a little kick at the end. A beer would have gone well with this, but I stayed with water, while comfortably seated by a window within their dining room. A very pleasant experience and a for sure future visit.“
“Excellent sandwiches, great prices, friendly staff. It's definitely the place to go for a fantastic sandwich at a great price. Several tables to dine in. Located is the historical downtown district of Ames, full of beautiful art, sculptures and fountains and lots of independent retails stores to keep you occupied.“
