So I’ve been to Lehman’s deli about 4 or 5 times now and yes the food is good but the attitude of the staff is just terrible. It’s like a small mom and pop store without any of the charm which makes those places unique. The overall tone is that you are inconveniencing them by being there. The last time I brought 2 other friends with me one of them asked if they could recommend anything. The response… «No». I don’t think the food is that good to put up with the crusty exterior especially at the prices they charge. I’m not saying that I will never go back but it won’t be as frequent as it could be based on how close it is to work. Just don’t go into this place expecting friendly dialogue or ask any questions and you’ll be ok.

A true hidden treasure with a real traditional, small town feel. I went in 20 minutes before they closed and got a great Reuben and an order of thick onion rings. The Reuben was stacked with an inch of roast beef, Swiss cheese, and sauerkraut. The rings were thick and the breading was light, baked slightly dark and crispy. The banana bread with pudding was also great.

This place is fantastic. Their sandwiches and everything they serve is freshly made, delicious, reasonably priced and promptly given to you. They usually have a monthly menu that can be found on-line and it shows what their specials are each day. I love this place because it’s a locally owned non-chain that provides wonderful food – nothing fancy, just plain, good and nutritious and great tasting items. They also make great hamburgers, and quickly, too. They always have enough staff to prep orders quickly. They do a fantastic lunch business from what I’ve observed and I know why. The food is really good, it’s priced reasonably and it is consistently very tasty. This place is head and shoulders above any chain I’ve been to. It’s a take out place so although you cannot eat there, it’s worth making a quick stop to pick up lunch or dinner. They have various specials throughout the week, such as chili, soups, spaghetti, mac and cheese and all sorts of sides. Their subs are fantastic. These people know what they’re doing in the keeping people’s stomach’s satisfied and happy. I love this place – wait, did I say that already? If so, it’s worth repeating.

Always friendly and fast too! I love their breakfast sandwiches, but you might not be hungry for the rest of the day! They have great sandwiches, soups and salads. The desserts are great too, and they display them on the counter, so it’s hard to resist! They have online ordering which has always worked without a hitch, or you can call in an order or order in the store! They have a small selection of wines and craft beers & housemade sodas and a good selection of juices too.

Lehman’s deli used to be a staple for my co-workers and me. That is until they raised their prices beyond what already seemed steep. Their subs –dressed with lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion– are tasty but will leave you wanting more. I particularly enjoyed the pastrami and turkey sub. They will make any sub to your liking. Their menu is large and they have a variety of items in their fridge. This deli has options for everyone(subs, sandwiches, appetizers, gyros, salads, fruit etc.). All are delectable but a bit overpriced. There is also a wide selection of wine and beer. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere possesses a pastoral feel. I have a soft spot for this establishment(we go way back). If you have a few extra bucks in your pocket for lunch, give it a try! You won’t be disappointed.

Road tripping Mom by herself looking for an authentic deli experience and found it at Lehman’s. Loved that I could get a ½ sandwich, the New Yorker brought me back to my Jersey days. Cucumber salad on the side was great too. Friendly staff, nothing to complain about! Its a long way from home in Seattle to this place but if I find myself in the area again I will make sure I get back! I’d love to try more on the menu because everything looks great.

Grabbed some Reubens for St. Patty’s Day… they weren’t bad, but I had enjoyed a Slyman’s Reuben for lunch, and, well, there is no comparison. The corned beef was not thinly sliced/shaved, so it was a bit chewy. Not offensive, but not worth coming back for, either. The menu is pretty big, so we might check them out again(and have something else).

My favorite deli and I’m so grateful it’s just down the street from work! You can’t go wrong with one of their daily specials, soups, salads or sides. It’s also a hidden gem for craft beer, selling Great Lakes, Dechutes, Arcadia, Griffin Ciders, Elevator, etc… I’ve even spotted Costa Rica’a Imperial. They also have a good wine selection for those who prefer that. Can’t go wrong with Lehman’s! Stop on in!

Fantastic place to stop and grab a bite to eat! Great little spot, don’t hesitate to give them some business! You won’t regret it. They have all kinds of different sandwiches and a different selection of soups every day so there’s always something new to try, and for whatever you have a taste for. Food comes out fast and they even have prepared cold cuts in the cooler if you’re in a real hurry. Bakery and desserts too and all kinds of drinks. The sandwiches are always fresh and delicious and the soups are rich and hearty. They have a huge selection of bottled sodas and a little brewery right out back to make their own beer, — which from what I’ve been told has always been great by the way. The staff is very helpful and efficient. Always courteous.

This is one of my favorite grab and go spots. I’m there twice a week. Try the pork loin sandwich when it’s on special. Simple but fantastic.

We stopped here on the strength of the reviews and we were not disappointed. The pre-prepared foods/salads were great. My husband ordered a crispy chicken pita, which was tasty if uninspired with shredded iceberg, tomatoes, and honey mustard. It’s also right off highway 90, which is very convenient as a road trip stop.

We stopped here for lunch on a Saturday. The staff was excellent, and my turkey club sub was amazing. Really, the perfect sub for me! Cole slaw was good as well, and we also had their housemade unsweet tea, which were both also very good. We will definitely return here!

Very good food, I haven’t had anything I wouldn’t recommend, but if you see the Lobster Mac and Cheese on the daily special, GO. It’s amazing and worth the little extra you’d expect to pay for a lunch soup. My only negative feedback, the owner is NEVER in a good mood, so don’t be surprised if it feels like you’re bothering him.

So much better than fast food. Go to lunches, so yummy. I love their soups, sandwiches, salads, you can’t go wrong. I love their ruebens, subs and other deli sandwiches. They also have a bunch of items in the cooler ready to eat like devilled eggs, deserts and pickles. Call your order in and it will be ready when you get there. Only problem is there is a crazy line for pick up orders during lunch and there isn’t much of a system in place. Not best value in the city(they tend to be a little stingy with the meat) but they are still worth a visit every now and again.

Amy B basically summed it for me. This place is great and I try to go here for lunch at least once a week. Great homemade Soups, Awesome Chicken Salad, Awesome Patty Melt and they make a mean philly cheesesteak, and yes its better than that Penn-Whatever Chain. Plus, they make thier own Roast Beef and Corn Beef. Oh and I forgot about thier homemade cookies, which are also great. They will also make any sandwich, a half sandwich if requested. Good Stuff!!!
