4 Best Delis in Lexington

“I drove by on my way home from work & saw some people eating outside. I quickly pulled over because who doesn’t love a quaint deli but especially one decked out in UK decor?! Service was amazing, atmosphere was fun, & the sandwiches were great & not super overpriced! 5/5 & I will definitely be going back!“

“I tried Stella's Kentucky Deli for the first time today. I got carry-out but once getting there would’ve probably opted to dine-in if I would’ve saw the place first. It was so quaint, cozy, and the perfect amount of quirky. The staff was friendly and the food was amazing. I got the fried green tomato BLT (comes with chips), a side of cheese grits, and a slice of Kentucky pie. The sandwich was excellent with thick cut bacon and crispy fried green tomatoes and basil mayo, the cheese grits were thick and had a delicious savory flavor, and the Kentucky pie (pecan pie with bourbon and chocolate chips) was sweet and rich — just perfect. 10/10“

“Courtyard Deli is such a unique and wonderful experience. The specials are a truly delicious. During a conference I had an opportunity to have two sandwiches. They were the best sandwiches I have ever had. The hot honey ham, goat cheese, Gruyère, fig preserves, and grilled nectarines was phenomenal. I can also say the hot ham with grilled pineapple, cheese, and red peppers was also incredible. The entire staff were so kind and personable and they remembered us. If you are in Lexington give Courtyard deli a try you will not be disappointed!“

“Great place to eat. Came in looking for pancakes, the gentleman chef was on lunch break when he overheard the disappointment in my man's voice about not having pancakes. He got up to make him 3 awesome tasting pancakes. I have never had a service like that before. Thank you for accommodating us.“
