The Tastiest Delis in Omaha

The Delicatessen of Buvette

★★★★★ 4.6 (11)

"I stopped in to grab a sandwich- definitely a little hidden and was a little concerned no one was there with a lot of foot traffic outside- but the shop was very nice and had some good looking grocery items. I grabbed a ham and cheese sandwich to eat later- a few hours later it still tasted very fresh and had wonderful flavor. I highly recommend for a sandwich or fancy grocery items."

"FRIED CHICKENFried fucking chicken r dF i e Ch i c n k eI am so whippy in the head after eating this wonderful fried chicken just goddamn fried chicken you pick up in the deli but it's good. I would not put in a review of a grocery store if the fried chicken weren't worth moving your ass all the way to the back to the deli to get it.Plus good selection of foodstuffs, esp Mexican stuff like fresh tortillas, always get *really fresh* eggs ya know the Eggland's Best, betteran avg liquor selection, beer section used to be located on the spot where my grandmother's house was (razed to build this joint many years ago). Some kinda karma there, as she disapproved of my drug of choice. All the Somali and Sudanese cats shop here too, so I really like the mix of people as I push ye olde shopping cart around."

Spirit World

★★★★☆ 3.9 (110) • $$

"When you think about Spirit World - you think wine. Think again. Of course they're still known for their large selections of wines (and always will). However, they've stepped up their game (maybe I'm just behind), but they are also well stocked when it comes to varieties of well known alcoholic brands, and their bartenders are more than eager to make you a specialty drink to your liking. My husband is always happy to find a bartender who's open to challenge by making him a specialty drink. It's a win-win situation. My husband gets to try out a new drink especially created for him and the bartender gets to experiment and better his craft! The photos provided was the process making the drink. I videotaped the finale' having smoke etc unfortunately, Yelp doesn't seem to allow video uploads. Stop by and see Sam!"

Market Basket

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (92) • $$

"It's been a while, and I was back to dine at Market Basket for sit down service a few times since my last review. I can't put my finger on it but still not a huge fan of the place. The food is not bad, in fact, pretty decent. The decor is simple but nice. The staff has been friendly, helpful, and attentive. So why still 3 stars?I think my overall feeling about this establishment is that its a "fine" place to go, but nothing on the menu sparks my interest enough for frequent visits and cravings. I still think the price point on the entrees are a little high for what you're getting, and while I am happy to pay that for an entree, it has to be something I really enjoy. Portions are modest as well. So, perhaps just not my cup of tea, but others might find that "favorite" meal at this establishment. In Omaha, the new American dining game is quite strong, so you have to have a good menu to keep me coming back for more."

The Winery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (3)

"A nice space with easy access. Open daily from 11AM - 2 PM there is a nice seating area with order at counter service. There is a limited sandwich / soup menu and catering is offered. The space is very nice and the staff pleasant. This establishment has been here for about a year, replacing the former wine shop with deli. The folks behind the counter are trying their best. Sandwiches are freshly made."

Big Dally's Deli

★★★★☆ 4.4 (8) • $

"This is one of my favorite delis. The food is always fresh here and tastes very good. There is plenty to choose from so you can blame yourself if you don't like your sandwich. You can tell the bread is fresh here, served puffy and thick. I just moved to the area 2 months ago and have eaten here 3 times already because it is delicious and so much to choose from."

Bison Witches Bar & Deli

★★★★☆ 3.7 (175) • $

"This place has an amazing array of sandwiches like literally an entire page in their menu of different sandwiches, so Deb went Loretta, which was ham but fantastic. I went cream of potato soup with chunks of potatoes served with chips Service was spot on and quick Really good spot if you're in downtown Lincoln."

Dutch Pantry

"I chose two sandwiches the bologna and peppered salami. Sandwich's were oversized and just what I wanted. I picked up some pork rinds and out the door I went. Great service."

Paolucci Restaurant & Lounge

"Holy moly! This is honestly some of the best Italian food I've ever had, and I travel extensively... I'm shocked how good this place is. Try the meatballs, the garlic oil dip, the fresh bread. WOW!"

"Exactly why you want from your local store great deals, great selection, and always helpful associates. They always have deals on alcohol and meat. This is always my first choice when grocery shopping!"

Cubby's

★★★★☆ 3.5 (51) • $$

"A very convenient convenience store in Old Market. It was really nice having this next to our hotel for all the random stuff we ended up needing over our Memorial Day weekend vacation. Cubby's is a little on the pricy side, but not outrageous. There's a deli, groceries, liquor, and your typical convenience store finds. They had coolant for the car (which ended up being crucial on our 100-degree plus visit) and a small stock of sunscreen. It did take two trips to find the sunscreen - we asked a man stocking the beauty aisle if they had any and he pointed us to some expensive full-size options. It turned out he was completely unaware of the travel size options two feet from where he was stocking. My boyfriend noticed it the next day and nabbed a spray sunscreen for about $4. Worth it for our trip to the zoo!There aren't really any other convenience or drug stores in the area that we could find, so I'm happy Cubby's exists for those who find themselves in the neighborhood!"

Little King

★★★★☆ 3.9 (20) • $$

"Love the staff here! They work together so well! They are super helpful and amazing to their customers. Food always tastes fresh too! Wisconsin Cheese soup.... Not the healthiest, but oh so good! I love how they slice the meat right there in front of customers. Not pre-cut like other sandwich places.Highly recommend if you're looking for a quick deli sandwich... Or quick lunch altogether!"

Samovar European Deli

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"This is a wonderful little shop, a European deli with an emphasis on Russian and Eastern European products. Very tidy little shop and wonderful selection. They also have a counter with meat and cheese products. Highly recommend."

Sid’s Deli & Subs

★★★★★ 4.7 (9)

"Sid's is in a strip mall on the south side of Cornhusker Highway. Parking is ample and free. The restaurant is clean and service was excellent. Meats and cheeses were cut fresh in front of us. I had the Italian and my wife had the Sid's Special. I'd definitely make a return visit."

Vung Tau Pho & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.4 (159) • $

"Lincoln's best family owned Vietnamese place. Pho broth is rich, veg garnish is always fresh. Casual environment with attentive staff. Love their grilled pork and rice platter. Not giving 5 stars because the environment is okay but not fabulous"

Cellar 19 Wine & Deli

★★★★☆ 3.9 (67) • $$

"I had lunch here on a Sunday, we showed up shortly after the place opened. The ambience is nice, with dim lighting, floor to ceiling wine racks, a bar, high tops and regular tables. At the counter, we were told they don't serve appetizers on Sundays, because they close early on Sundays and appetizers are only served after 3pm. So we figured sandwiches would do. I asked about the ingredients in one of their listed daily soups, and was told they didn't know for sure, as it just came in a bag from Boar's Head.When our sandwiches were brought out, the waitress asked if we wanted anything else. I asked for a glass of water, and she told me to go get it myself, over there, it's self-service on the weekends. Then why ask? Overall it kind of felt like the service wasn't the friendliest, just a bit short and serious at every interaction. Which is fine, I was there to eat, not to chat I suppose, but things like this add to one's overall impression of a place. As for the food, I went ahead and ordered the aforementioned soup, and it was perfectly fine as a warm accoutrement to a cold sandwich. My sandwich was the only vegetarian option on the menu as far as I recall. It was listed with sprouts as a topping, but they no longer serve these and I was given the option of replacing the sprouts with lettuce. The sandwich was decent, if a bit heavy on the mustard. The baguette bread it was served on was chewy as baguette tends to be, so eating it was a bit messy as the tough bread would squish the toppings out the other end of the sandwich with every bite. Just a structural issue baguette sandwiches so often suffer.My friend ordered a Moscow mule and I had a glass of white wine. The drinks were both good, and there is the option of ordering certain wines by the glass or bottle.The place got busy quickly after we showed up, it looked like they have a fair amount of regulars. I wouldn't mind going again, and maybe trying some of their other sides."

"Only place in town to get a coffee.. Ordered off menu 2 coffees double shot mixed with the medium roast coffee.. They brought out the double shots with steamed milk and let me finish off my coffee.

"Definitely my favorite place to grocery shop. The prices here are almost always better as-is, but they are always running clearance and promos. Produce almost always is beautifully fresh too!"

"This is just one of those times where I hope good people who deserve the world get it. The folks who run this store are kind, sweet and polite. Every time I visit I'm greeted with a smile and great taste. If you choose a sandwich shop in town, please choose this one :)"

Russ’s Market - Lincoln

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (22) • $$

"I'm surprised that there are so many negative reviews for this store! It's clean, larger than I expected and prices are lower than I expected as well! My sense is that if you're buying lots of dry goods or bulk items, you could probably find lower prices elsewhere but it's a complete grocery store so all the staples are here (and then some) and for someone who lives nearby, there's no reason not to come here in a pinch or even do all of your grocery shopping here. I'll definitely be back!"

Lithuanian Bakery & Delicatessen

★★★★☆ 4.4 (33) • $$

"While it's unassuming exterior makes it a little hard to find, this old school South Omaha bakery and deli oozes at the seem with character. I drove out here specifically to try their famous Napoleon Torte.They had two sizes of tortes available, one for $15 and one for $25. These are basically flaky, layered cakes with a hint of apricot that are very, very delicious. I recommend bringing one to a pot luck/party/family get together, you'll have something for everyone to enjoy and rave about. And only 10 ingredients -- preservative free!They also have a variety of pastry, cheeses, breads and oils. I'm looking forward to trying the noms at their cafe 74th and Pacific (http://www.yelp.com/biz/lithuanian-bakery-and-cafe-omaha?nb=1) one of these days."

Husker Deli & Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (15)

"The food was great and more food than my wife and I could eat. I order the chicken quesadilla and it can feed at least five people and it was loaded with chicken. My wife order the beef taco salad and they must have put a pound of hamburger meat. We have food for a couple of days."
