My first experience here, during which I got a corned beef sandwich to go, was awesome. Based on this and other reviews raving about their reubens, I think this deli truly excels at their corned beef! I returned to buy roast turkey deli meat and cheese, though, and was quite disappointed. Their turkey is $8.99/lb and a far cry from being as good as the Boar's Head turkey that Butler St. Deli sells for $7.49/lb. I was also somewhat disappointed in the quality of the pepperjack cheese I bought there. The service is also hit-or-miss. I doubt anyone here is downright rude, but some guys are friendlier than others. There are some nice tables and chairs to sit down and enjoy your sandwiches/burgers, but only outdoors as far as I can tell. In conclusion: come for the corned beef, but skip the deli turkey/cheese!

Yesterday I had one of the best reuben's I've ever had, and when I went to bed last night my diet wept silent tears into its pillow. This sandwich is HUGE. Everything about it was perfect, but if anything I wish they would have given me a little less meat. I think there was 2 lbs of corned beef on this thing. Basically the reuben is a fat bomb, but soooo worth the splurge once or twice a month. They have indoor and outdoor seating and this place is a lot more than a lunch spot/sandwich shop, it is very much a full deli. You can call ahead and order (for example) steaks for dinner, and they'll have them ready for you when you leave. This is by no means the cheapest lunch spot in the strip dist. I had a reuben and a side of potato salad and it was about $14. But the reuben is grilled for you right as you order it. It was freaking huge, I did not need the potato salad. The menu is really diverse, there are a lot of soups and salads so I will def be back even on days where I dont feel like going full on fat girl.

Love this place! Hands down the best pastrami sandwich ever!! The staff is great all around - great customer service, friendly, clean..everything! No complaints for this place here! One thing most people do comment on is the high prices but for what you get! You really can't complain!

Sorry but this was the weirdest and ickiest matzoh ball soup ever imbibed by me. Broth was just broth and practically white - like miso soup. I think it was extremely watered down boullion from a cube. Matzoh balls had green flakes in them (parsley?) and tasted like...uck I don't want to remember! This was not chicken soup for the soul! Two stars instead of one because sandwiches all smelled and looked good. I might return to try one, but then again with all those great Italian hoagies nearby...

A very good Jewish deli tucked in and amongst the small factories and warehouses on Smallman Street in Pittsburgh's Strip District. I cannot believe this place has not been reviewed yet. I guess it is a best kept secret. There were four in our party and we ordered a variety of sandwiches that ranged from a traditional Reuben, turkey and Swiss on a bagel to a pastrami and Swiss on marble rye and a turkey and cheese on a bread type that escapes me. Regardless, all the sandwiches were very good to excellent. The meat was lean and adequately piled on. The vegatables on the sandwiches were very fresh. All sandwiches came with a Kosher pickle spear and we opted for bags of Snyder of Hanover chips. I haven't had Snyder chips since I left Pittsburgh eons ago. The amount of sandwiches offered were many. The staff were efficient and three-rivers friendly. I failed to realize that they offered Matzo ball soup. I will have to save that for a return trip to PGH. Since the in-laws live here, that's definitely going to happen.

Smallman Street Deli makes the ideal pickle spears; crisp, cold, ivory on the inside, Kosher as the universe is wide. Without one, your sandwich is lonely, your lunchpail left wanting... Something occurred to me when I had one of SSD's amphibian-green obelisks with a sandwich the other day; I myself had been bereaved of something and was unaware of it for my entire life. That was until the sound of that pickle's first crunch bounced off of my teeth, its brining juices tickling as they trickled down my throat. Now I am full of sorrow knowing that the brownbag lunches of my tomorrows will never be truly great without a lance of that cured, salty, chilly cucumber to complete and complement the daily noontime, picnic bench ensemble.

Ordered a pastrami Reuben and it was the best I've ever had. Like others have said, it was huge, there was a lot of meat. However the balance of meat and sauerkraut was just right. Best of all, the sauce didn't overwhelm the sandwich. The second half of the sandwich even tasted great the next day although it was a little dry since I warmed it up in the microwave. I would definitely go back again.

More "delis" should take a lesson in how to be good from this place. My office is about 2 blocks away from the SSD and has been for about 5 years. That means I've eaten here quite a few times. And honestly, I've never been disappointed. Actually, not living in Pittsburgh anymore, I've yet to find an authentic deli that's this all-around good here in Denver. But don't worry, I'll keep trying. Their sandwiches are huge and delicious - high quality (and quantity) meats and cheese. The breads are delicious. The soups are delicious - the stuffed pepper is to die for. I used to find myself stalking the menu for stuffed pepper soup day. Their chili is good. Their salads are good. Lots of folks in my office stalk the menu for taco salad day as well. Do you see a theme here? It gets insanely busy at lunch, and there's not much space inside to move around and wait for your order, but it's a small price to pay for deli food that's this good. You should eat here!

Pastrami sandwich(hot) was great. Tender and plenty of flavor. The only thing I didn't care for was the $14.50 for the sandwich, can of soda, and bag of chips.

It's just plain good! Whether you like a hot pastrami on rye or a plain ol' turkey sandwich this deli is the real deal! Large portion sizes, free refills on soda, and the friendliest staff around. Daily specials are a bargain and my own personal recommendation...the Reuben and the turkey Rachel are out of this world!

I got a corned beef rueben and a side of lodtka. The sandwich was delicious, fresh rye and superb corned beef. It also had the right amount of 1000 Island dressing, which was more than a dab but not enough to soak the bread. The potato pancakes were good as well, crisp, though I could tell they were reheated. Not too dissappointed, but if they were dropped in the fryer to heat up again they would have been even better. Will definitely be there again for lunch soon.

Smallman Street Deli is interesting in that it is very polarized. Some of the workers are friendly and amazing, while others make it clear that they think you are dirt, and they have no interest in helping you. The food is the same: They have an absolutely amazing reuben, but their egg salad is the worst egg salad I have ever had. All that said, it's a deli, so give it a try, order a turkey sandwich or a reuben, if you get someone taking your order who is rude, deal with them, and enjoy. Prices are reasonable.

When I am in the Strip District this is the place I always go to for a fresh salad or sandwich. You can eat there or on the go. Their portions are huge ans they have a big menu for being a deli. It is also nice because rhey have their own parking and its away from all of the shops that the Strip has to offer.

My wife wanted deli so we went here. Boy, was that a mistake. Her corned beef was brown and bad. My lean pastrami was okay, a bit better than edible. My dad liked his salad. The kids liked their turkey and hot dog. So far, two and a half stars. The real reason for the single star was the cole slaw. It was off. As in, spoiled. I had my salad eating father confirm the fact (he had to spit it out). When I brought it to the counter and told them, the guy was nice enough to offer me another side. He then tossed the slaw without so much as a sniff. I fear for subsequent patrons.

I tend to forget / decide my hot mess morning look takes precedent to eating breakfast prior to leaving for work. Smallman is within walking distance of my office so that's a win. A few times I've walked in around 10:40 and asked for an egg sandwich. The woman behind the counter gets a really serious look on her face and states they stop serving breakfast at 10:30. Mind you the place is empty. (It gets packed round noonish). She then slowly turns around and with great flair asks the guy slicing meat if he is okay with cooking an egg. He is fine with it and doesn't give two sh$ts. She,however, is a stickler for breakfast rules. Much respect. Order your eggs before 10:30. Lunch options are consistently good albeit a little pricey.

It's a terrible thing when you work next to a New York style deli... terrible. Oh shoot... I forgot my lunch today. Guess I'll just have go grab a sandwich... You really cannot go wrong with the Smallman Street Deli. Though around noon it gets pretty packed, you can call your order in ahead to avoid the line. Whether you desire a Rueben, burger, or homemade soup, you'll leave thinking you were in NYC. The princing is a tad on the high end for a deli, but everything is cooked to order and fresh. There are some seats available - outdoor seating in the warmer months too. If you're in the Strip and want a sandwich, stop by Smallman Street Deli.

Another fantastic meal! The corned beef Ruben is messy and delicious. Everything you hope for in a deli sandwich. We were even able to find a table to sit today.

Sometimes a girl just wants some Matzoh Ball soup and this place is one of my faves... I will say it has been inconsistent from time to time (sometimes being less flavorful than others but that is not always the case--- I have been satisfied more times than not. Sandwich selection is good, veggie burger is one of the better ones I have tried, and they are generous with their portions. We often use Wheel Deliver to get the Smallman Street Deli and everything is always marked properly and the orders never have issues (unlike many places who do large lunches unfortunately). I will keep patronizing this yummy place...

The TURKEY RACHEL should be the first thing you try... and you may like it so much it may be the last. I can't vouch for everything on the menu, but I don't have to. I grab the same two items every time I go in. Fresh deli sliced turkey, with just a bit of thousand island (not drenched in it), and a fresh rye bread. The only thing here that rivals it is the TOMATO BASIL TORTELLINI SOUP. Paired with a double cheese grilled cheese and you got a winner. Problem is they only do that soup once a month. I 've had a few other items on the menu, all pretty good. Just a solid place to eat lunch.

Great deli. Had a very good Ruben today. Great food and friendly service. I'll definitely be eating here again.

I used to go to Sammys all the time for a corned beef sandwich whenever i came in town....until my mom took me to Smallman Street Deli! Best corned beef on rye...be sure to get it grilled!!! My sandwich...lean corned beef on marble rye, swiss cheese, grilled with lettuce, tomato, onion and spicy brown mustard!! Love this place!
(5)Laura H.
I religiously order the same thing at both locations and it is excellent each time: the turkey rachael on sourdough instead of rye. The matzo ball soup, while not like mom's, is still very tasty. Fellow diners I have eaten with have ordered the corned beef, the roast beef, and the pastrami and have raved about them all. I highly recommend this authentic deli.

I love the location of this deli. You could tell its old school. I ordered a Pittsburgh fav, the Ruben, and other memebers in our party had turkey sandwich, fries and the veggie burger. I was impressed with the meat quality. Soo tender and flavorful. The bread on the Ruben was overcooked it was nearly burned and very greasy. But the meat over shadowed that....lol. My fam loved all the sandwich but our fries....were dark brown as if the have been cooked in overly used oil. ..disgusting! We spent $55 on three sandwiches and fries....;-)...pricey much?
