50 Best Delis in Houston

“It was absolutely amazing, I got roast beef, turkey and bacon on sourdough and it was everything I hoped for and more. Highly recommend Ploughman’s Deli.“

“K&Z's offers the best and most authentic NY deli experience possible. (BTW, I am born and raised in NY) The quality and taste of the food is peerless. I can say without hesitation that the pastrami, stuffed cabbage and blintzes were the best I have ever had. The service is excellent. K&Z's must have a rigorous training program. All of their servers work very hard and are patently eager to please. I was struck how they all wear uniforms that are reminiscent of the wait staff from the halcyon days of the Catskills. K&Z's atmosphere is a unique and inexplicable blend of New York electricity, nostalgic charm and the kind of comfort one subliminally seeks when indulging in deli fare. The movie "Deli Man" focused on Ziggy for good reason. He is a master craftsman, omniscient in all things delicatessen and very much a mensch. It's not enough to simply recommend eating at this restaurant. I would recommend TRAVELING to eat at this restaurant... as I did.“

“We had a great experience at this place. We especially enjoyed Felicia at the bakery counter. She was super friendly, a good worker and was very informative about the products. She also cares about people and is a great asset for this business!“

“Amazing food and great service. Will be back!!“

“Wonderful place to grab lunch! Friendly place!🩷“

“Such a cute little spot full of history and delicious sandwiches! It's the oldest running Delicatessen in Houston and worth a visit! I recommend the homemade potato salad (they make their own mayo!) and if I wasn't so stuffed (because their sandwiches are HUGE) I would have tried the cream cheese jalapeno poppers and deviled eggs! They offer samples to ensure you enjoy what you eat, the staff is so friendly, and for desert: cookies and fudge balls! Thank you!“

“Todo , excelente atención y muy rica comida.“

“Best cheesesteak I’ve ever had. Staff is very nice, great food and great prices!“

“I had the best darn sandwich at Murphys Deli, 2800 Post Oak blvd, 77056! The flavors were on point, and the bread was toasted just right—total comfort food vibes. The staff were super chill and friendly, made me feel right at home. 10/10, would chow down again!“

“the sandwiches are on point. they come in a variety of "specialties" as well as a create your own. now that the gratuitous food r good rant is over. let me mention the staff at the particular westhimer location. they are phenomenal. I always get a warm welcome and great recommendations to make my lunch outstanding instead of just good. so swing through and grab lunch , but don't mess around too late, they close at 3“

“That sandwich is so darn good I could cry! Not only that, they’re always so swift and fast and kind even during their busiest times of the day. I genuinely love the customer service and those sandwiches. Like omg those darn sandwiches are so delicious‼️“

“I live in The Woodlands and there are 2 stores here. I can get to either one in 10-15 minutes. Instead I choose to drive 45 minutes to get to the store on Breck Street. The people here are friendlier, the store is always clean and well organized. The manager has one of his employees (Ally) standing outside to greet arriving customers and say thank you to departing customers. Nice touch. Very nice touch. Both stores in The Woodlands remind me of the Post Office. No one smiles or says hi, you stand in line, pick up a ham, pay and leave - usually without a word spoken. That’s why I quit dealing with them. The Breck street store is way better - the staff is better trained and I can tell they like their job. Always smiling, always friendly, especially the guy named Mingle. I like this store.“

“Awesome service. Our Waiter, Walter, was great. Very attentive and extremely pleasant and accommodating.“

“es una tienda muy especial su atención es única personalizada y una gran variedad de productos y lo mejor de todo a un excelente precio“

“I come here during my break from VTI. When i first enrolled, all they would talk about is how good this deli is and honestly im in love with this deli. The owner and his worker are extremely sweet and kind, I love their Tuna melt, their food extremely affordable and the tuna melt is absolutely stuffed so its not like youre getting a thin spread. Everyone at the school orders from here and they never dissapoint. Id give them 10/5 stars☺️“

“This was my first time eating @ Brown Bag Deli 290/Hollister area. I ordered a roast beef and jalapeño cheese on the jalapeño bread and it was delicious, not to mention whoever’s playlist was on the speaker was lovely. The staff were quick & had a lovely disposition, AND I had the pleasure to be entertained by every thing from Teena Marie to the Isley Brothers, while having my lunch. I will mos def be back.“

“love the ppl great ppl very great food“

“I heard about this place from one of my friends and decided to try it out after always seeing it and it really did not disappoint!! Good food for a great price!! I went 2 nights in a row! I recommend the lasagna and the club sandwich or the chicken parmesan“

“Greeted good, nice and quiet during my visit too (12:30 on a monday). This local samdhwich shop is definitely somewhere I recommend coming if you want to give your money to a local business. Their poboys are delicious and they have a wide range of chips and drinks to choose from“

“Murphy's is near my office and we call on them frequently for conference lunches. They are always friendly, professional, accommodating, punctual, and they deliver exactly as we ordered, or in the rare instance anything is found to be different, it is corrected within minutes. Not only is the food excellent and fresh, but the customer service far exceeds the norm, which is extremely refreshing. We have been working with them for a little over two years, they have been consistent, and we plan to continue to do as much business with them as possible.“

“Recently joined a company situated in the same building and stumbled upon this fantastic lunch spot. The menu offers a wide variety of options, including lunch specials like Pho noodles and Korean BBQ, and everything I've sampled so far has been delicious and authentic. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive! I highly recommend it for takeout or dining in.“

“I stopped at this deli shop while my car was being serviced at the Toyota dealership nearby. It’s located inside a business building, so it primarily serves the employees of the tenants, but it’s open to the public.

The place is clean and has several tables where to sit and eat. It offers a variety of sandwich and salad options which are all made fresh upon request. I ordered a chicken Philly sandwich and it was so fresh and delicious! Pricing was also reasonable for the quality and portions.“

“Fresh Ingredients with generous portions of protein and veg. I have had issues with the consistency of the white bread being fresh or very stale, but see my edit below.

Edit: Since making a review about the bread I've returned three times and had three great sandwiches.“

“I ordered the Grilled chicken burger with some add-ons and it was great! The online ordering and payment was effortless and I just walked in and picked it up. The staff was friendly and had my order ready on time. Will definitely go back for lunch.“

“They have been amazing! They learn your name and will bring your order to your suite!! If I forget my lunch or forget to eat they are definitely my go to!! Good is always fresh and great tasting!!!“

“The sandwich shop are cleaned and neat. The staff are friendly and nice. I got comb turkey and bacon on wheat bread. Come with chip and drinks. I enjoyed ate my sandwich here. I will return soon.“

“I had a hair appointment in the same building as Bibis Deli, and I saw someone with shrimp fried rice, which looked delicious! As soon as my appointment was done, I went downstairs immediately to get the same! And the picture does no justice! The shrimp fried rice with veggies is so dang GOOD! I will absolutely be back! They were super friendly; it’s very clean and organized. ???? You must try the egg rolls as well! ???? so delicious!“

“Our first time and definitely not our last! Greeted by Ray as soon as we walked in. He waited on us and kept the food coming. Even Ms Irma checked on us. We tried a little bit of everything and the food is just amazing!!! Bonus was parking our car there for Astros game. We will be back!!“

“Excellent service and the food is very good. I love the egg tacos, turkey bacon avacado sandwich, chicken salad sandwich, garden salad and baked potato soup. Vietnamese sandwich is also good. They have daily lunch specials. Place is clean. I usually take lunch to go. Conveniently located in the building next door to my office. Great prices.“

“You know when you’re so hungry and tired from the texas heat that you just stop being logical? and then you take a bite of good food and it feels like you can breathe again? that’s how good this was. completely hit the spot and the owner was incredibly accommodating to make me a sandwich that I really enjoyed. So delicious, so simple and just right.“

“Love this place I eat here all the time and the ladies who work there are literal angels. They always have a daily special and the food is always fresh. It’s always extremely clean as well. I come here probably about 3 times a week and it always remains consistent with food, cleanliness and the amazing service!“

“I ordered breakfast for a meeting at work to be delivered the next day. Antoinette called to confirm my order and was so patient and kind. The service was amazing. My delivery was early, which was perfect! And all that attended the meeting and had the breakfast tacos raved about them all day! They will be my new go-to for orders for meetings in my office!“

“kool spot for lunch I haven't been to downtown in a long time and once I went to Skyline Deli it was worth it recommended to all try it out baked potato good for lunch coffee is very good for the morning“

“I don't normally do 5 stars on all aspects but I must say they deserve it. I was here for training and I stopped by and got a Turkey Wrap. Everything was made fresh, I was greeted and walked through everything I had questions regarding. Everyone was friendly, the atmosphere was clean and nice and the best part the wrapped filled me up. I hate I forgot to take a picture when I first got it but I had the half left before I devoured it. If I'm every back this wag again, I will definitely be back. Loved everything about it. Oh and prices were great!“

This restaurant is build your own pizza and you can choose all the toppings you wants. They have gluten free Dough and the price per pizza is the best. Lots of time they have specials two pizzas for $9.99 The y have a soda fountain and several different types of lemonades that are very good. I love the 59 location MEX to Fondren because of the new management and their great customer service skills.“

“I work in a building nearby and have been coming here for a couple of years now and every thing I've had is really good. I've had the pho, Bahn mi, fried rice, egg rolls, omelets but my favorite is the shrimp vermicelli salad, it's so fresh and delicious.“

“strong team work among associates“

“Great place, great service, great staff, great music and a convenient place for affordable and quick passport photos. You're one stop shop for a quick bite and picture on the first floor of the federal building. Better than fast food if you're looking for a place to grab and go. Wings and Ribs are amazing.“
