Our food was very good and service was average. Place was somewhat grimy. The restrooms for absolutely filthy. The toilet, the sink and the urinal. All was disgusting. After using and washing my hands, I use the paper towel to open the door and did not use the railing going back up to the dining room. They need to get it together and clean the restrooms and dining room.Wheelchair accessibility: Have to use the back door.
Aside from not being ADA compliant, and having to walk through the actual kitchen and down the stairs for the bathroom; they do something with their sandwiches like no other place and I couldn't put mine down, literally. They have many options from the menu to the market front and although not a fast service it was worth every moment to get that sandwich. Spanish speaking is a plus but not a requirement.
Have loved this place for many years, always get to Sasha,because I've tried many things on the menu that were amazing but the Sasha is the best.

You really don't need to ask if they have amazing food. Our family goes as often as possible. Hope they open another location in the west metro.

Probably sacrilege with the following this place has but their Reuben just wasn't very good. The corned beef was tasty but there wasn't much of it and the bread completely overwhelmed the other flavors.

Amazing deli experience, fantastic breads and meats and salads and soups. French fries were not great but that's okay, everything else was stellar. Busy but worth a little wait. $$ but worth it. Planning to go again soon.
The Russian Ruben sandwich I had from here was hands down the best deli sandwich I've ever tasted.I've never had such wonderful flavors come from a sandwich.They have made a life long customer of me today.I can't say enough good things with my experience there today.

A great no-frills deli where the focus is on fresh sandwiches. The closest thing you'll find to a New York deli in the Twin Cities.I love everything about Cecil's, from the line that forms in the deli, where you can watch the action behind the deli counter, to the Formica topped tables in the dining room. Cecil's is that comforting place where you come to remind yourself of what dining out should be, a focus on food first, before anything else.Parking: There is a free lot next to the restaurant with additional free street parking in the neighborhood.
