It's so hit or miss. Got the chili shrimpt wrap and there were only 4 tiny pieces of shrimp. I had to unwrap the entire wrap because I didn't think there was even any shrimp.So I basically paid $14 for a wrap of cabbage with 2 bites of shrimp.The last I time it was great but this is just absurd.

A little pricey, but overall worth it. I had to ask the staff for the fresh cut chips after I got my order. I would go back again and try something

Ordered a Reuben. Did not enjoy. Picked up order and not even 5 minutes to get to my car, the bread was soggy in the middle. And that was the saltiest Reuben I've ever had. I couldn't eat it.

Great sandwiches, always a new soup and sandwich of the
Soooo delicious! The 714 maple is an absolute favorite, paired with their homemade kettle chips is a duo you can't beat! They also feature soups, salads and wraps!
I'm certainly a frequent customer of this establishment and have never once been disappointed. The sandwiches are huge and I always have leftovers. The homemade soups here are always amazing as well. Sometimes I just go for a large cup of soup but I've definitely tried at least half of the sandwiches & wraps on the menu. I recently tried the fish sandwich for the first time and it was seasoned to perfection and delicious!!

Joe's Deli on Hertel Avenue truly embodies the soul of Buffalo’s dining scene with its warm, family-friendly atmosphere and a staff that makes you feel right at home from the moment you step through the door. Visiting this deli isn’t just about grabbing a bite to eat; it’s about experiencing the comforting embrace of a community hub that’s been delighting locals and visitors alike since its opening in August 2006.Standing proudly in the same location as the iconic Mastman’s Delicatessen, Joe's Deli has continued a legacy of culinary excellence. The deli takes pride in its daily offerings of homemade soups, which are a testament to the freshness and care put into their menu. These soups vary from classic recipes that soothe the soul to innovative concoctions that intrigue the palate, each one steaming with homemade goodness.However, it's the sandwiches that are the stars of the show. Whether you choose a classic or a specialty creation, every sandwich is a masterpiece of flavors and textures. The "Build Your Own Sandwich" option is a canvas for your cravings, with a variety of high-quality meats, cheeses, veggies, and condiments to choose from. And for those with specific dietary preferences, gluten-free bread is a considerate touch.The hot sandwiches are a particular delight, especially my personal favorite – Jimmy’s Cuban. The marinated pork loin and Sahlen’s ham come together with lorraine swiss and the perfect pickles, then finished with a tangy honey mustard on grilled ciabatta. It’s a fusion of taste that transports you to the vibrant streets of Havana with each bite.The specialty sandwich that nods to their first location, the Hertel / Colvin, also deserves a mention, showcasing the deli's deep connection to its roots. But let’s not forget the inventive "The Hangover" sandwich – a hearty and bold choice, or the new "The OCH," with its sweet and savory blend, truly a delight with its caramelized apples and melted Brie.Chips and a pickle neatly accompany each sandwich, though upgrading to the fresh cut French fries is always a tempting choice. For the full Joe’s Deli experience, you simply must try the Beef on Weck, a Buffalo staple, served here with the juiciest slow roasted beef and that essential kick of horseradish sauce.To conclude, Joe’s Deli isn’t just another stop on Hertel Avenue – it's a culinary cornerstone that has secured its place in the hearts of all who cherish good food and good company. Whether you’re a Buffalo native or just passing through, make sure you stop by Joe’s Deli. Trust me, after one visit, you’ll be planning your next.

The last two times! Iv ordered a chicken Cesar wrap for my wife and paid the extra 3 dollars for fries just to not receive them. Iv been eating here off and on for a few years and have not had an issue. The forst time i gave them the benefit of doubt mistakes happen. The second time I called to speak to a manager and no one is in till Monday.. fine.. however the disinterest of the employee to try and resolve the issue is frustarting to say the least. I'm not sure what changed at this location, but they do not care anymore! Would not recommend this location to anyone to eat at.Parking: Plenty of parking on the side of the buildingWheelchair accessibility: Establishment is street level, would just need help with doors.
