Manhattan Deli

This place has become one of my favorite breakfast and lunch restaurants. Mary who is a dear and a pleasure to be sat in her section, makes the whole experience enjoyable. I really enjoy the chopped liver as well as the matzo ball soup. It’s nice to have a good deli in town

Super disappointed tonight. We ordered take out — three identical sandwiches, Midtown Ruebens. Each one was totally different. One was burnt, one undercooked, and one was missing almost all the meat.
We ordered the extra lean corned beef, as we have before. This was very fatty and chewy and definitely not the quality that we’ve had in the past.

We’ve been going to the Deli since they opened and it has been consistently good. Sandwiches, salads, burgers, breakfast, I like it all. I usually get the corned beef and latka sandwich. My wife likes the tuna melt or garden scramble. Their julienne salad is impressive as well as the omelettes. Just ask for your potatoes to be done extra crispy, they rush them sometimes when it’s crowded.

I got the Greek salad and Beef Shawarma Platter and both were fantastic! The prices are very reasonable and you get a lot of food. I will definitely be back and next time will definitely have to try the wine and the desserts!

When the manager is there, this isn’t bad. When he isn’t, it is awful. The cooking isn’t as good, the wait staff doesn’t know what should be on the plate, orders are wrong, etc. Last time, and I do mean the last time I will ever be there, they refused to substitute a salad for fries without a significant upcharge (the manager had done that for free weeks before), and tried to pass off a skimpy portion of corned beef with potato salad as the same amount as on the low carb plate I had a week earlier (½ lb. of corned beef with tomato slices). As I said, I will never be there again.

When I want fresh, crispy, nutritious food I come here. I enjoy what they prepare to my order. I like fried things crispy and they get it right each time. The salads are wonderful. The soup hot and freshly made. Their breads are artisan breads. The desserts are decadent and great to take home to share with someone special. If you like variety, this is the place for you.

Enjoyed a great Father and Daughter dinner tonight.
The matzo ball soup and corned beef was great and Emily had a really good salad.
Have yet to have a bad meal here.

This place is amazing but the older ladies that are serving are quite mean ! The sandwiches are huge and had I of know this I would have split a sanswhiche with my husband ! I ordered the matzo ball soup as well so I was totally full after are meal ! I had no room for dessert !
One nice thing my husband like is they served beer and wine ! Nice added feature to a deli !
We also took home there home made grape butter. Sweet but good on toast !!!

Absolutely disgusting. Not only was there a 6″ hair wound through both halves of my sandwich — the edge of the cheese had mold on it. It looked like a sandwich that your blind, senile, 90 year old grandma would try to serve you.
Gross and will never be back.

Not quite as good as Slymans downtown Cleveland but also not as expensive and not as hard to get to. Plus, has more convenient (later) hours.
Good all around place to eat. Food is always consistent. Corned Beef routinely tends to be a bit dry for my taste.
Service is a 7– 8 out of 10. Deserts are to die 4.
Be sure to sign up with your birthday and anniversary for a free entrée during that month. Wed. is ladies night so they eat for half price.

We’ve had some really good things and some «not so good’ things here. Good sandwiches, and Middle Eastern dishes. Their specials are hit or miss but that wouldn’t keep me from trying something different. It’s straight forward deli cookin’.

This is a pretty good breakfast place. At first I wasn’t really in to it but after going there a few times I’ve grown to really like their breakfast. They also have very good sandwiches. We have also had some really good service here. My girlfriend really likes their salads. Help support local businesses and give it a try I’m pretty sure you will like it.

Every time I come here I have a good meal! I have tried so many different things and I have never not liked anything. They have a wide range of choices and I don’t think you could go wrong with any of them. Growing up in the area I never went there until an old friend took me a little over a year ago. I wish I knew about it earlier!!! If you are in the area it is a must try!

As my sister and I were driving around, ravaging to find a place to eat, with nothing looking/​sounding good, she suggested Manhattan Deli… which was fine by me as it gives me another place to review. :)
My mom has been here on several occasions and has raved about it so we figured why not. Our stomachs had control at this point and honestly, soup on a cold day sounded very appealing.
And it’s not often you see both owners walking around the place asking you how everything is and if you could use anything. Really nice people who worked there.
Our waitress was killer awesome. She took our order by memory and we both ordered the corn beef hash that came with a bread roll, salad and two eggs for $ 7. Cool.
When the food came out my eyes got as big as my stomach felt empty. The portions were HUGE! My sister and I could’ve definitely split one. The bread was made by hand I’m 99% sure and was delightful. I ended up with a salad (which was also huge for a side salad… nothing fancy but fresh and homemade dressing) whereas the sis subbed in some clam chowder soup and insisted I try it. I don’t like clams… well…not of that particular nature anyway. ;) It was really delicious and had great flavor and consistency. Not watered down or anything that would remotely resemble an instant soup.
My sister and I easily ended up getting containers for our food as there was no way we could eat it all. On the way out, I couldn’t help but admire the cheesecake that called my name before me. It was their chocolate one (cannot remember the name of it as I was so mesmerized) and looked super rich but divine. I had to have it. So I got two. No, that wasn’t my inner fat-​kid talking… I bought one for my parents to split ya weirdos. The lady at the counter was super nice and boxed up the slices in a safe-​transport container… which my car appreciated.
Definitely will be back to try other things. Really enjoyed it and their coffee kicks ass too. Very good, even black, with hints of chocolate in that too. Loved it! GO! Do it now! :D

Great service, good food, lovely location.
I saw bad reviews on here… being a fan of NYC deli I can understand, but those can’t give the settled in, easy going, climbing-​that-​hill residents of Mentor what they need.
The place is perfect for what the area expects of their dining places.
The neg. reviews are really not fair.

This is as good as it gets in Mentor —
Relaxed, friendly, huge sandwichs,
Great waitress —
Great Manager — Mark…
All in all — I have been coming here for years!

Not really sure where to start this review because my mind is spinning thinking about all the great things Manhattan Deli has to offer! I’ve been frequenting MD for years now and I can say that you’ll find one heck of a corned beef sandwich here! Definitely one of my go to orders, but I’ve also tried their turkey sandwiches, soups (the matzo ball is to die for!), and their Mediterranean goodies (I’d list my favorites, but that would be all of them). Oh and I’m pretty sure they put something in the pickles because they are addicting and oh so good!
So basically, if you’re in the mood for a killer corned beef sandwich (or any sandwich for that matter), then head here because you’ll walk out one satisfied little foodie!

Always a great stop for breakfast and lunch, very clean and fast. Best sandwiches in Mentor. The Cleveland over Philly is the best. Great daily specials.

Sit down, sit down, you look famished! Doesn’t your mother feed you? Oy!
Prepare for a sandwich experience.
From the free fresh and pickeled there pickles to the pounds of meat between bread so succulent you could eat a loaf on your own, the Manhattan Deli is one of the best sandwich shops in Ohio. Have never been to NYC, I can’t compare it to a real Manhattan Deli, but I can tell you this, you won’t leave hungry.
The sides are terrific and I wouldn’t pass up the potato salad, even though I really do despise mayo. It has too much flavor to be missed. You can’t go wrong with any choice, from their bagels with lox (oh. so tasty) to their Ruben, stacked high with corn beef and sauerkraut.
The price is right for the amount of food, and I’d think they’d be losing a profit on some of the sizes of sandwiches I’ve seen…
But come, sit, sit, let me get you a little ‘nosh.

I remember being a little girl walking into Manhattan Deli with my Mom and thinking, «I wish I could live here.»
As an adult, I drive 40 minutes to come enjoy the best deli around and still consider bringing a cot with me. Just noshing on pickles, matzo ball soup made from scratch and some damn good corned beef on rye. It’s joy in om-​nom-​nom form.
Now, you need to trust me on this one. I’ve been coming here, eating like a horse and leaving happy since I was just a wee-​mini-​Cara. This is what a deli is supposed to be. A huge menu full of cold-​cut favorites, sandwiches galore, middle-​eastern tasties and homemade soups. And if you really want to know what wins my heart, they give you free pickles instead of bread before your meal. Love at first «crunch».
My wait staff experience at Manhattan Deli usually consists of two options: A mildly crabby older woman or a super friendly older guy – either way, I’m usually the youngest one around. Regardless, you’ll always get great service and atmosphere at a low cost.
The prices are great, perfect lunch selections for any palette and the best deli fare around. Any way you slice it, Manhattan Deli is deli-​licious!
