Blues City Deli

Blue’s City Deli is an absolute gem of a spot. It’s a sandwich shop with blues-themed decor and an outdoor patio. Expect to see a line when you go to visit, because the people know what’s up.

So far, I’ve tried the roast beef and the reuben sandwiches. The reuben is made with house-smoked pastrami, and might be the best I’ve ever had. I’d rate Blues City Deli as one of the best restaurants in the entire St. Louis area. It even topped the list in 2023 in one of the Yelp Top 100 lists.

I’d like to work my way through the entire menu, because everything has been so good. I also have to get around to trying the Italian beef and updating with my thoughts.

If I had to make a short list of “must try” spots in St. Louis, Blues City Deli would definitely be on it.
