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!“

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

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

“My wife and I ate there for lunch. She had the chicken pesto and I had the Rueben. They were both very good. She also had the butternut squash soup, which was excellent. It was surprisingly sweet and tasty. Look forward to trying other items next time.“

“Todo , excelente atención y muy rica comida.“

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

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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‼️“

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

“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.“

“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☺️“

“Great customer service, wonderful sandwiches. Fresh, fast & convenient!“

“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“

“Great customer service, wonderful sandwiches. Fresh, fast & convenient!“

“It was my first time coming here on 04/29/26 around 6pm. I asked the manager if he recommended anything and he said the chipotle chicken and avocado panini was good, and I must say it was great. The atmosphere was calm and welcoming, I didn’t get their names but thanks to the manager and the cook who prepared the meal everything was amazing I’ll definitely be back. 🙏🏾“

“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“

“love the ppl great ppl very great food“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“They offer some of the most affordable options in the area while still maintaining great quality. The service is fast, efficient, and budget friendly, making it a great place for both quick meals and regular visits. The food is consistently good, and you can tell they put care into what they serve.

The staff is always kind and welcoming, which makes the experience even better every time I go. I also really appreciate that they have daily specials and unique dishes that keep the menu interesting and give you a reason to come back often.

Personally, I love their Monday burgers and Wednesday pho, both are standout favorites and great examples of how flavorful and well prepared their food is. Overall, it’s a reliable spot with great value, friendly service, and consistently good food.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“Awesome place to be. Their staff is great. Very accommodating. Clean atmosphere. As a vendor this matters. facebook.com/decoarteventplanners www.tiktok.com/decoart650 instagram.com/decoarteventplanners Https://g.page/decoarteventplanners“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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 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!“

“great service, great food“

“Mmm mmm good! The homemade food tastes like Sunday dinner every time. You can taste the love in every dish. How is it that they can cook any vegetable, and you want more?! Don’t even get me started on the tender, well seasoned, juicy meats. The price is affordable enough to eat breakfast or lunch daily. MMM THANK YOU ladies for making my lunch extra special every day“

“We are so fortunate to have this place just a few minutes drive away from home. It’s the cutest little spot with amazing food. The fried chicken is to die for. IT WAS FIRE!! The food is absolutely amazing – everything we tasted melted in other mouths. Highly recommend“

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