Linny's Luncheonette

The pastrami was incredibly moist and flavorful — easily some of the best I’ve ever had. The sandwich was generously packed with tender chunks and slices, and the perfectly caramelized fat will melt im your mouth. I do wish it were a bit larger for the price, or that the bread were a bit sturdier, as it softened quickly from the juicy meat. Still, the quality is top notch and in that sense correlates with the price. I also recently tried the smoked turkey sandwich, it was good but I wasn’t blown away by any means, I would pay $20 for it again, but I’d go back for the pastrami

The pastrami is perfection, in good rye with just the right slathering of mustard. I am so excited to have such good pastrami nearby. But as good is the latke and pickle sandwich and the knish with gravy.

Just had a turkey sandwich from here and it was packed! The turkey was really good and the sauces were perfect, even my cat wanted a bite. I grabbed a chocolate chip cookie too and it was thick and soft. So good!

Wow! What a let down. Not only did we pay upwards of $50 for two measly sandwiches and a small side potato salad, but there’s also no where to sit and eat. The portions are very small for the price. The pastrami was fine - nothing life changing but definitely not justifiable for the price. It could use some more mustard and kick. Save yourself the money and buy the Schwartz vacuum sealed smoked meat and make your own at home. It’s $16 and enough for 4 portions. Don’t let yourself be influenced an Instagram reel showcasing a rip off in a trendy neighbourhood.

My friend and I got the pastrami and turkey sandwiches. The pastrami was so bomb!! Super messy to eat but the flavour is amazing. The turkey is also pretty good, but I wouldn’t fiend for it. NOTE: Their sandwiches are generally quite small, so it’s on the pricey side. I also wish it came with pickles, not sure why they have to be separate for purchase. In general, I’d definitely recommend trying Linny’s out, but there are definitely just as amazing pastrami sandwiches around that are bigger and cheaper.

This was a damn good bite! The pastrami was smoked and spiced to perfection and the potato salad was creamy and crunchy. The price point is a bit high for such a small sandwich but it was sooo good.

Loved linny’s restaurant so this luncheonette would’ve definitely slapped. And it did! Would highly recommend the pastrami sandwich. Super simple sandwich with mustard in between slices of soft bread slices (possibly sourdough) - 9/10. Out of curiosity we also got the fish sandwich which was 7/10. It had a little less flavour but was a nice and fresh compliment to the pastrami sandwich. They also hand out bazooka gum - so nostalgic!! Good vibes all around and they have cute merchandise. We got a red linny’s cap❤️.

I stopped by to sample the pastrami sandwich on a rainy day. It was not disappointing - perfectly seasoned and smoked, tender and handsomely stacked between warm rye. Went down perfectly with Cott’s black cherry cola and a pickle. Staff were friendly and efficient. The decor creates intentionally retro vibe with wood paneling and vintage menu board. This place will be Toronto’s answer to Schwartz’s deli in Montreal, even more so than Sumilicious in Scarborough. It’s a must-try for authentic Jewish deli lovers. Note: this is a takeout only joint and for lunch only. there is no seating inside. Weather permitting, there are three patio tables outside on sidewalk.

I was walking down Ossington a while back and I noticed Linny's Luncheonette was getting ready to open, so I vowed to return. Return I did on a recent Saturday and we showed up just as they were opening up for the day, which meant we were able to snag one of the two outdoor tables available. It's a small menu, so ordering the Pastrami sandwich was a no-brainer. We also grabbed a small order of the Coleslaw to try. The food was ready to go within minutes. It's a great sandwich. The meat is super tender and perfectly complemented by the fresh bread and tasty mustard. Do I wish the spicing on the meat were a little more prominent? Yes, definitely, but it didn't detract from my overall enjoyment of the 'wich. The coleslaw is great, too. I'll surely be returning very soon.

Linny's Luncheonette is the sister restaurant to Linny's next door, however, Linny's Luncheonette is a completely different concept compared to Linny's. It's a take out deli sandwich shop focusing on quality ingredients with a multitude of sides you can choose from. Other than their sandwiches, you can also purchase deli items like pastrami spice, beef salami, or half sour pickles. I've been waiting for Linny's Luncheonette to open since last year! When I dined at Linny's in Dec 2024, the waiters had hinted that there would be sandwich shop next door. I arrived at Linny's Luncheonette around 11:30am on their opening day (May 9th). The place was busy with customers coming in, however, the service was fast and efficient as chef David Schwartz stood by to make sure everything was running smoothy on the first day. In terms of the decor, think deli retro vibes! The interior is cute with bright orange countertops and a mirror on one side of place to make the space appear bigger. There are a variety of random candies and chips on display you can also purchase. The menu consists of sandwiches - pastrami, potato and pickle and smoked fish, as well as sides (knish, coleslaw, potato salad, karnatzel, cookie). I ordered a pastrami sandwich and a small side of potato salad. My order was made at a reasonable time (less than 5 min) and service was friendly. There isn't any seating inside the restaurant but there are a few chairs outside and 2 small tables. The great thing is that Linny's Luncheonette is located along Ossington so it isn't hard to find a table close by the place. I decided to head to the park to eat my sandwich. Foodwise...the pastrami sandwich was deliciously amazing. I loved the pastrami at Linny's so I knew that Linny's Luncheonette would be the same. The pastrami had the perfect meat to fat ratio...which made it oh so tender and juicy! I am not a huge fan of pastrami to begin with but...I would come back for this sandwich again and again again. Anyways...back to sandwich, the bread held the meat together well where there was a hint of mustard spread as you took each bite. I got sad when I reached my last bite. The potato salad was also great, not too creamy with sizeable chunks of potato. Overall, a great new addition to the Ossington strip! The pastrami sandwich is a must get here!! Can't wait to return for more in the future! (tip - go early as they can sell out)

No seating. Sandwich was good and hand cut but tasted more like Smoked Meat than Pastrami. Very limited menu. I expected a larger menu than just one choice. Not worth the drive from Mississauga

Karnatzel had zero flavor. There are far better delis in this town that are less expensive to boot.
