Macklind Avenue Deli
4271 Macklind Ave
St. Louis, MO 63109
Website
I was driving around South St. Louis City around lunch time and I came across Macklind Avenue Deli. I stopped in to see what they had to offer. The menu consisted of different sandwiches that you would typically find in a deli. They had the turkey, roast beef, ham and salami.
The inside was a small little liquor store as well. It looks like they offer many varieties of beer and wine. I was tempted to get a beer but decided not to.
I ordered the Macklind Ave Roast Beef sandwich. This sandwich was piled high with thin sliced roast beef, topped with red onion and cream cheese. The roast beef was hot and tender and the cream cheese added the perfect touch. I love a roast beef sandwich with cream cheese. I also ordered the macaroni and cheese salad. This was a cold macaroni salad with celery, cheese and mayo. This was also very good.
Prices were decent. I got a roast beef sandwich, a side of macaroni salad and a drink for around $8.50.
I will definitely be going back to this deli next time I am in the area.

Bellon's Market is the St. Louis Place to Eat
Bellon's Market, Deli and Pizzeria
904 S. Vandeventer
St. Louis, MO 63110
Bellon's Market is a deli located on Vandeventer close to the St. Louis University campus. This looks like a fairly new place and serves a wide variety of sandwiches, salads and pizzas. It is a wide open place inside with plenty of tables and chairs to eat. You order your sandwich or pizza at the counter, they make it behind the deli, and then they call your name when the food is ready. It is a pretty standard deli set up.
I ordered the Italian beef sandwich. It was a toasted hoagie piled with hot roast beef, onions, peppers, and cheese. It was good, not great, but it was a good sandwich. I also ordered the mustard potato salad. I expected a hint of mustard, but the potato salad was loaded with mustard and it was good. The only thing that was a drawback was that the prices were fairly high. A six inch sandwich, potato salad, and a drink will run about $9. The next time I go I want to try on of the pizzas. It looked like a St. Louis style pizza and it looked pretty good. I can't wait to go back.

Subway is the St. Louis Place to Eat
Subway - Multiple Locations
Subway has become an American institution. They continue to develop more sandwiches and a wide variety of sandwiches. It is hard not to find a Subway anywhere in St. Louis, they are all over the place. Subway keeps it simple. They make sandwiches how much more simple can it get. Subway has something for everyone. With turkey, ham, roast beef, salami, steak, etc., everyone can find something they like at Subway. Subway is fast, good, and a pretty good price. Many places have tried to duplicate Subways success by making sandwiches, but Subway is still dominant.
When I went to Subway the other day I ordered a turkey and roast beef sandwich. They really need to work on the toasters at Subway, because It doesn't really toast a good sandwich. It is like a microwave that stales the bread. I thought they would have found something better than this by now. But, the sandwiches are still very good. I get a six inch and put the toppings and a few sauces and I am good to go. Prices are good, food is good, and Subway is usually very fast, even when there is a long line.

This was very good and very cheesy. I would definitely order this again.

Phone Number: 314-773-8225

Blues City Deli is a great little deli that is close to Gravois and Highway 55. From the minute I walked into this place I knew this was a good deli. The feel of Blues City Deli encompasses what a deli should be. A deli should be simple. And this place is simple. There is a counter to order sandwiches and about 10 tables for customers to sit.
I arrived at about 11:30 and there was not a line and about 2 tables that were open. I walked right up to the counter and ordered my sandwich. But, by the time I left the place was packed and there were no seats available at all. The staff was friendly and brought my sandwich to me when it was ready. Blues City Deli has all of the sandwiches that you would expect from a deli. They have roast beef, turkey, salami, ham, meatball, and they have some original sandwiches like pulled pork.
I ordered the Italian beef and a salad with the house dressing. The salad was good. It was a bed of lettuce, provelone cheese, and tomatoes. The house dressing was an Italian dressing that was pretty good. The Italian beef was very good. The roast beef was very tender and the peppers were spicy. Blues City Deli is a great place to eat lunch in St. Louis. I can't wait to go back.
Prices: $4.95 for an Italian beef and $2.95 for a house salad.

Pickles Deli is a Restaurant of Choice in St. Louis
Pickles Deli is brand new deli and sandwich shop in the Central West End. It is located at 22 North Euclid Avenue, just across from the Park East Tower and the new Park East Lofts.
Already getting rave reviews on Sauce Magazine's site, I was excited to see Pickles going in on Euclid because the West End was in need of a non-commercial sandwich place. Seeing as I'm moving into the lofts across the street, the fiancee and I can came in with high hopes - and Pickles did not disappoint. One thing that can be tough to find in the Central West End is good, quick carry-out food. We were heading over the St. Louis Symphony's outdoor concert in Forest Park, so we needed picnic food. The time for Pickles had come.
While I was expecting a little more of a Subway setup, from the second you first walk in you can tell that Pickles only serves up the freshest of meats and cheeses. They have each of them still wrapped up and waiting to be sliced just like they do at real-deal delis and grocery stores. Very, very nice.
The menu has all of your typical sandwich options, from Corned Beef or Pastrami, to a Club sandwich and a Veggie offering. I went for the Club just to give an old favorite a try in a new place. You can choose your bread from about 6-7 options (which includes Pretzel bread), and you can choose a cheese - both at apparently no extra charge than the retail price of the sandwich. The price on the Club was $7.95 and most sandwiches are in the $6-8 range.
Of course there is the obligatory chip rack, which had a nice selection of Krunchers, Jays, Sun Chips as well as all the regulars. I got to talking to the owner and what was apparently the co-owner for a few minutes - friendly and down to Earth guys. They told me the cupcakes are made fresh by the owner's sister (they looked tasty). I got to telling them that I would be moving into the area in the near future and that I'd definitely stop by.
Once we got over to FoPo and got to dig in, I was happy at what I ended up with. It's a notch above any Subway sandwich (or the like) that you can find in town. Thumbs up.
Cheap, quick, fresh. That's Pickles. Right in a convenient spot in the CWE.

September 27, 2007: McAlister's Deli is the Restaurant of the Day in St. Louis
McAlister’s Deli has three locations around St. Louis. Find one.
I have written about McAlister's Deli before, but this time I ordered on of the spuds.
Last time I was at McAlister's, I noticed everyone ordering baked potatoes piled high with toppings and they looked really good. Get to McAlister's early because the place gets packed by about noon. There was a line all the way out the door, which is a good site to see, because this is a very good place to eat. McAlister's serves high quality food at a good price. It is hard to find a place that does this any more. They also have great service at McAlister's. They have workers walking around filling peoples drinks.
So, I had to order a spud, because they looked so good and they were huge. This is two pounds of potatoes and toppings. They had a variety of different toppings that went on the baked potato, such as, chicken, chili, cheese, ham, turkey, beef, and more. I ordered the chicken fajita spud, which is chicken, peppers, onions, cheese, sour cream, salsa, and jalapeno peppers. This thing was delicious. It filled me up for the rest of the day. I highly recommend ordering anything from McAlister's because it is a great place to eat.
Prices: About $6.50 for a huge potato and toppings.

August 28, 2007: Jimmy John's is not the Restaurant of the Day in St. Louis for Today
Jimmy John's is a sub sandwich shop that is fairly new to the St. Louis area. On the inside of the Jimmy John's there are signs that try to be funny. Jimmy John's claims to make subs "so fast you will freak." It is not hard to make subs that fast when you have no options on what goes on the sub. I used to like Jimmy John's when they first came to St. Louis, but then I thought why am I eating this when I could be eating Penn Station or the countless number of other sandwich shops which serve both hot and cold sandwiches. You can't compare a Jimmy John's to a Penn Station, Penn Station is 10 times better. I guess my problem with Jimmy John's is that I got sick of their food. It doesn't sound good to me anymore.
Jimmy John's does have good bread. That is one thing that is good about them. They also have a variety of sandwiches, but it is basically a choice between cold turkey, roast beef, ham, or salami, and if I wanted one of those sandwiches I could find 10 other places I would rather get one. Their meats are average and the toppings are the usual lettuce, tomato, and mayonnaise. When I go I get the Bootlegger Club. This is a turkey and roast beef sandwich, but it doesn't come with cheese, what a rip-off. I have to ask for cheese and it cost extra.
Prices: About $6.25 for a sandwich

Kenrick's Meat Market and Catering is a small little market on Bayless or Weber road close to I-55 in South St. Louis County. It looks like they specialize in meats and small groceries. We went there for lunch and they have a little deli and sandwich stand with about 8 tables to sit and eat. The menu is loaded with different sandwiches like the special, loaded roast beef, chicken and bacon sandwiches, hot sandwiches. They have some good looking sides as well like baked macaroni and cheese, and mashed potatoes and gravy.
I ordered the country fried steak sandwich. This was a country fried steak with white gravy on a hoagie roll. This thing was delicious. For a side order I got the mashed potatoes and gravy. The mashed potatoes and gravy were ok, but the country fried steak sandwich was great. I definitely recommend going there for lunch and ordering one of there sandwiches. You have to get there early though, because this place gets a little crowded. This is a must eat lunch spot for me. What made it even better is the prices. My sandwich only cost me $4.89 where else can you get a great tasting HOT sandwich for this price. Next time I go, I am going to get a ribeye steak sandwich, which they have on the menu for a low $5.89. Is there anywhere else you can get a steak sandwich for that cheap?

For more on bars and restuarants around St. Louis be sure to visit www.stlstuff.com
McAlister's Deli has three locations around St. Louis. Find one.
McAlister's Deli is a big place. It is where the Walgreen's used to be on Manchester and 270. We went at about 11:30 and there was a pretty long line by 11:45. This is the type of place where you order at the counter and then they bring it to your table. McAlister's Deli has a huge selection of sandwiches, salads and potatoes. They have turkey, chicken, roast beef, ham, and a combination of those as well.
I ordered the turkey melt club. It was a hot turkey sandwich with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and cheese. The turkey was very good. I could taste the smokiness in the turkey. I also got mashed potatoes as my side order. This is refreshing seeing delis serve something other than a bag of chips for a side order. I hate chips as a side order, a bag of chips should never be a side for any meal. These sandwiches are very good at McAlister's. You can tell that they use good ingredients.
Prices: About $8 for a sandwich, side order, and a drink
