Siegfried's Delicatessen

So good!!! Classic Jewish deli. You could tell this was a local spot. We went around 12:15/12:30 and they were slammed. It is an order at the counter seat yourself kind of place so after we ordered and got our food we had to wait a minute or 2 for people to get up. We both got sandwiches which were excellent. A lot of people around us were getting the plate meals so we want to try those next time. When it’s warm they have outside seating which is nice and allows for more customers. Overall this was a great find in Salt Lake City while we were exploring the downtown area and would come back!

As if I just landed and am in Germany, the people AWESOME!!! Food Fantastic! I stopped myself while eating to take pictures of the food, wife asked why? I said it has to be shared! Take the time and come here. If you drive there is complimentary parking right next door. We had the shoulder, spetzel, red cabbage and gravy. Out of this world! We will return this is our second time and won’t be the last!

fantastic german deli/market in the heart of downtown SLC. it is a quick-serve, you walk in go to the hot bar to order your food, bring to cashier for payment, then find your own table. there is a decent amount of tables with bar seating all along one side facing the street. the food is delicious and portions are generous for what you pay. we got the schnitzel with sides ($14) of red cabbage, potatoes and spatzle. best schnitzel i’ve had in a long time. kids shared the reuben sandwich ($10) and even though they loved it, was only able to finish half of one sandwich. beyond the hot bar there is a dessert case, deli case, and a market area with lots of imported food items. all contribute to the authentic and gourmet atmosphere of siegfried’s. it has a no-fuss, homey vibe to it. bonus for chocolate lovers: they have the largest selection of ritter sport and milka chocolates i’ve seen in the US!

We come to Salt Lake City in Utah every year and can not get enough of the hospitality of people working here! The good is homemade right here and it’s delicious! We love the borscht, stuffed cabbage with meat, pork legs, red cabbage and goulash! The cake and pastries are so fresh and delicious! You should try it! It’s so reasonably priced as well. about $10-15 per person! We love it!

This review is coming from an authentic german... ive lived in Florida, New York , and Utah. This is the best authentic german food you will find in America! After visiting this place for the first time, I left with several bags full of authentic german lunch meats, snacks, and candies that I remembered from my childhood growing up in Fulda Germany! If you are anywhere near this place, do yourself the favor and go get you some german food! Nothing beats a german meal with an authentic german beer!

A gem of a deli in Salt Lake City. I found this place on Eater prior to my visit and got so excited because I love German food. It didn’t disappoint. They import so many of their ingredients and have a wide range of meats and cheeses you can buy. It’s super authentic and delicious. There may be a line but it’s worth the wait!

5 stars, we loved our first meal here, can’t believe we didn’t know about it. The spicy goulash over the spätzle was so superb. Definitely coming back for that dish alone. The kraut and fried potatoes were nice, pork steak were a bit thin but had decent flavor, I will try the schnitzel next time.

This is a wonderful place to eat fantastic deli.Vener schnitzel sausage fried potatoes, sourkraut.The works yum yeah, they had red cabbage, and it was so good.We loved every bit of it.

If you're craving authentic German food in Utah, Siegfried's in downtown Salt Lake is the real deal. I've been coming here for over 30 years, and it's still one of the first places I think about whenever I'm in town. You walk in and it just feels like a legit European deli--bustling, cozy, and packed with the smells of bratwurst, schnitzel, and fresh bread. The schnitzel with Jaegersoße is my go-to, and I always add Spätzle or Bratkartoffeln on the side (or, in this case, both). It's pure comfort food. I never leave with just one meal either--I always stock up on extras to take with me, because who knows when I'll be back. The goulash is rich and flavorful, the sauerkraut has the perfect bite, and if you like marzipan, they've got some of the best around. Plus, their little shop inside is a goldmine of European treats--chocolates, sausages, mustards, you name it. This place is a gem. If you're a Germanophile like I am, or just want a hearty meal made right, Siegfried's should be at the top of your list in SLC.

We came right before lunch hour, which was perfect timing because almost all the tables inside were full by noon. And we get why - the portions are huge, reasonably priced, and pretty tasty! Of everything we ate, I think I would get the bratwurst, potatoes, and shrimp salad again next time or something new. The knockwurst was fine, but I liked the char and flavor of the bratwurst more.

Trivia: What fermented cabbage dish with a tangy twist originated in China more than 2000 years ago? Weird question since this is a German restaurant? There is a gruffness to this place that you need to be ready for. They are concentrated on all the things, except the new customer. When I ordered, they made my plate and put it on a tray on top of the deli case. It took me several confused moments before I realized it was ready to go. Had to review the menu and review the items on the plate. And then confirm that no one else around me got the same thing. The mustard choices make for fun dipping choices. Indoor and outdoor dining options. We didn't see a place to empty our trays, and we saw someone cleaning tables, so we left our items on the table. Still not completely sure that was the right move.

An awesome shoppe and deli with authentic and delicious German food along with other European cuisines! Everything is absolutely authentic and tasty! Gluten appetit!

For my short readers: In downtown salt lake there is this German Deli restaurant with authentic German treats and groceries. But to top it all off it is a great place for lunch with some interesting food options. I would recommend the spicy goulash, reminds me of red curry and rice if that's your thing. For my longer winded readers: This place is interesting, it reminds me of a local bakery in terms of vibe. You can buy fresh packaged meat and other groceries from here if you need a German sourced(yes they have pretzels for sale too). The seating layout wasn't anything special, it honestly was a little cramped but im surprised about how many seats they fit in there. The workers there were nice and very quick to get my order out, which I ordered the Spicy Hungarian Goulash. This was served on spaetzle which in terms of texture felt closer to a ramen noodle more than anything. But I ended up eating it with a spoon and that worked perfectly. It had a small kick of spice and was quite delightful. Plus it was a generous serving size so the prices weren't too overboard($14.08 after tax). All in all I would recommend this place as German food isn't the most common style around here, it was pretty fun to try something new and i probably will end up coming back in the future

The servers working there were relatively nice, the seating inside and outside were plentiful fortunately. The service was fast but honestly the food was not worth the price. I think it came out to like $18 a plate and the flavors just weren't anything that out of this world. It's defiantly a unique spot, but don't go there expecting a deal.

Anyone that appreciates traditional German fare would absolutely love this deli. Basic hot dishes available to eat at the counter or to go. This place reminds me of the smells of the old New York delis. Hot dishes available to enjoy right there on the spot along with wonderful sandwiches on all types of ryes (other breads available too). Wonderful selection of everything, I could spend hours just going through the shelves. We stopped in here to pick up sandwiches for the road, which were generous and portions and flavorful in taste. A great piece of nostalgia with great taste. A must stop. Great service on top of it all.

If you're looking for something truly original and authentic, Siegfried's is as good as it gets. This place is a real German deli, and every visit feels like a mini trip to Europe. The schnitzel is absolutely incredible -- so good, in fact, that I found myself coming here once a week while working in Utah. I'd always leave stocked up with at least three meals to hold me over until my next trip in. Beyond the schnitzel, their marzipan everything, goulash, sauerkraut, and beer are pure heaven. Every bite is packed with the kind of rich, homemade flavor that's getting harder to find these days. They even have a mini store inside with all kinds of delicious imports, from chocolates to sausages and beyond. Siegfried's is hands down my favorite place in Salt Lake City. Whether you're craving a hearty meal or just want to browse the goodies, this spot is a must-visit.

I love pork schnitzel and for your money, you will not find a more inexpensive option with generous portions for almost McDonalds level pricing. I tend to make it to Siegfried's more often than not when I head to Salt Lake and while the service is always uniformly excellent, the quality is a tiny bit hit and miss (but more hit than miss). For example, I went there early in the week and had Schnitzel with brown gravy and a side of Spaetzle and it was a generous portion with great flavor. I went back a few days later and received a super gristly piece of pork with potatoes that weren't very warm and ended up returning it for a new serving (which they apologized for and were happy to do but the second one they made was only slightly better). Thus - on the days where quality control is top of mind, Siegfried's is a joy to visit but I have to be honest and say there will occasionally be "that time" where you may get disappointed or need to have something remade and yet, the good outweighs the bad for now so I'll keep going back.

I spent a week last month attending a work conference at the Salt Lake City Convention Center. Most of the meals were provided there, but on the last day we were on our own. After a quick Yelp search, Siegfried's Delicatessan popped up. I've had a soft spot for German cuisine since I was stationed there nearly 40 years again with the Army. Although known for breakfast & lunch, Siegfried's is open until 6 pm for dinner. There are a good number of tables in the store to dine in. It is also a bodega with German goods for sale. My eyes were bigger than my stomach, and I ended up ordering a bratwurst sausage & warm potato salad, a corned beef sandwich, and goulash soup. Along with $25 worth of Asbach chocolates filled with brandy, the total with tax came out to over $60- ouch! When my order was ready, I was shocked to see the proportions. The goulash soup was entree sized, and the warm potato salad was over 2 scoops. The corned beef sandwich had a generous amount of meat, too. I ate enough of the bratwurst/potato salad & corned beef sando to enjoy, and finished off the hardest thing to carry out, the goulash soup. Everything was delicious! At the end I was full with enough left for the flight the next day. Siegfried's is someplace to keep in mind when my travels bring me back to Salt Lake City! Repeat and recommend!

Yes, you do want to eat and shop here. Food and service and candy selection are exceptional. I am a vegetarian traveling with carnivores, so I didn't expect to find much to eat in a German deli. Happy to say they have plenty of fresh, housemade sides, hot and cold, and a big beautiful bowl of fresh cut fruit. And, of course, the carnivores were happy too - the cabbage rolls were a definite favorite.

Unique historical gem. The variety and quality of food here is outstanding. My only wish is that I could try more things in one sitting.

Germany right in downtown. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Ordered the Reuben with corned beef. It was good but needed more meat. Service was fast. Clean place

Siegfried's is great for authentic German food, both ready-to-eat options like Schnitzel and bratwurst, and off-the-shelf items to take home and cook. We are regular visitors to Siegfried's. The service is quick, especially if you go before or after peak hours.

I had the schnitzel and Spaetzle with potato salad. It was okay German food, but I've had better in Texas. The service was god awful though. The lady (I assume the owner) asked the couple ahead of me if they wanted a receipt, but didn't ask me. I actually needed the receipt to expense my meal since I was on a work trip. So when I asked for my receipt, she acted like it was the most inconvenient request by rolling her eyes and begrudgingly pushed a few buttons on the POS to print the receipt and told me to grab the receipt off the receipt printer myself. I would definitely not go back because the food wasn't even that great. Also, the presentation of the food was disgusting. See picture for yourself.

This is more authentically German than most places I've been in Germany! Incredible, seemingly endless selection at the meat counter, and German products as far as the eye can see. Delicious. Amazing. Love.

Great spot for a quick bite and an escape from the conference center. Stopped by for lunch hoping to get some schnitzel and spatzele. Unfortunately they were out of schnitzel so I opted for the pork steak instead. It was fantastic, nice and tender with great flavor. The noodles were terrific as well. The sausage was great as well. Really enjoyed every bite. Next time I'm in SLC, I'll definitely stop by for lunch again.

Solid German deli. Love the variety of soups, variety of breads (even pumpernickel) and classic deli meats (yay liverwurst) and German entrees. Don't miss the great sides like porky sauerkraut and spaetzle and hot potato salad. Nice people and clean tables.

My husband got stressed because he didn't feel like he had time to read the menu before they wanted him to order hahaha but I loved it. The spaetzle is delicious. My schnitzel was a little too crispy but still yummy. I will come back next time I have a German craving. Halfway through our meal, there was a loud noise that lasted for a long time. No idea what it was but it was very annoying

Great food. This is definitely a hidden gem! It is way way better than those dedicated restaurants nearby. Not a lot of choice but seasoning is great! Pork and sausage are juicy

Siegfried's Delicatessen is a cafeteria-style German restaurant in downtown SLC. They also have imported groceries, breads, meats, and candies. The restaurant is casual but often frequented by the business crown during weekday lunches because of its location. They have indoor and outdoor seating (during the summer months). Be aware there's more open indoor seating behind the imported food shelves in a back room. Since it's not visible from the main dining area most people don't know about it and you can find it empty even on a moderately busy day. Be aware the restaurant doesn't take reservations. This venue is better suited to smaller groups. They have a number of sides for the cafeteria/deli-style meals. My favorites include rot kohl (red cabbage); sauerkraut; and fried potatoes. Siegfried's is a classic for German cuisine. My family is German and we make it a point to go each time we visit SLC. It's casual, quick, and inexpensive. Four entrees (that came with two sides apiece) were $45 overall. Go check it out!

The best Ruben !!!! Great place , good service in the middle of town .. we keep on back again

Tried this place and thought a little pricey for what they offered. A little too much vinegar taste on the cabbage for me.

Little late putting this review together but its such a deserving location that I feel compelled to offer these brief comments. Its a busy little shop, easy to pass by but well worth taking a chance. Authentic german deli with hot meals daily. Typically store front & deli operations. You get your meal on a cafeteria tray in the back of the store, check out at the register, and take advantage of the limited seating if you decide to stay. Had the Schnitzel sandwich and it was perfectly done. The other person I was with had a stew over noddles that may have looked better than mine. Great food, super nice people, and deserving of a more timely review.

I loved the inside and the international grocery. But! I got a Reuben to go (I don't think they had seen the order) and they made it quickly. I got back to my hotel room and it wasn't toasted and that bread was as bad as an untoasted English muffin. I'll heat up the second half later.... But, I don't think the bread will be much better. Such a wonderful establishment and I've learned that I need to make sure the Reuben is toasted. Not a lot of meat either... not great at all.

I wanted a quick bite to eat after work and decided to stop in. This place is a gem of German foods and the price is ridiculously cheap. I grabbed a Rueben that was near perfect and so tasty. Also grabbed a brat & chop combo so I had something for breakfast. Add it two sides of huge portions and I walked out full and happy for about $21.

Great food conveniently located downtown. Good selection of food and great selection in the attached market.

Siegfried's deli probably has the most authentic German food in the region. The bratwurst and black forest cakes are personal favorites.

I've been here a few times throughout the last couple years when I started coming here the desserts were always fresh and so good. I want to say this last year I ordered my same desserts and they taste stale or like they've been in the cabinet for a while. it was a little disappointed, they give you a lot of food nothing extraordinary

Amazing food, great Goulash. Very quick and friendly staff. Would return Great

Reuben was decent place looked cool will have to come back and try more. Not my favorite Reuben but nice and fast service and not too expensive.

So I'm here in SLC, Utah hungry and looking for food and I see a delicatessen. So this is my first time having German food and it's delicious! I got this special and opted for a bunch of vegi's sausage was so good I wish they gave me 3. Then I start to look at what everyone else is eating and looks even better. I'm here for couple more days I'm gonna try more. If in SLC check this place out ... u might like !!! I did!! *update* I was hungry again for lunch and in my head I really have to try the rest of the knackwurst and weisswurst. Also, I used to think that sauerkraut just looked and smells disgusting... but holy shite along with the wurst and some stoneground and hot mustard it's the shite!!! I posted a pic but stop looking at the damn pic ... pictures have no flavor... get yo AZZ there!!!

An absolutely delightful old school delicatessen! Good friend took me to lunch and they were absolutely hopping. Despite the crowds, the lines moved quickly. I couldn't resist the schnitzel and some German potato salad. Old SCHOOL! They dropped the schnitzel in the fryer when I ordered it. Crispy, tender, delicious! Squeeze of lemon on most of it, couple of bites with some side mustard. certainly 5/5. German potato salad. I admit my mom makes and serves hers warm which is what i'm used to. This was cold straight out of the deli case. It's clearly homemade and very tasty. 4/5. Service was fantastic, the racks of the German grocery items for sale was awesome. Bought some chocolate ginger snaps for dessert on the way out. Décor reminded me of the old school delis the are mostly gone. I find it nostalgic, other might find it old or plain. i think frills and functions are restaurant specific and the vibe here is appropriate. Put the love in the FOOD! will put it in the rotation for sure!

You can walk by this place and never know it. The food there is amazing. The atmosphere is a bodegas style restaurant grocery store. The cook was attentive and helpful and the lady behind the register was very nice.

Wonderful German Deli in Salt Lake. Love coming here for lunch and enjoying a beer with my meal. Their Reuben sandwich is my absolute favorite. Great prices!

3.5 more accurately. Very solid flavor. I wish there was a little bit more meat and less sauerkraut. Still very good

Do you ever get the craving for sauerkraut? I know, you either love it or hate it! But if you try the sauerkraut at Siegfried's delicatessen, you'll probably love it. You'll judge all others by Siegfried's so you can tell people where to find the good stuff. Had lunch with two friends and we all had the sauerkraut, paired with spatzle (look it up) and wienerschnitzel and we transported ourselves to Germany. Such fun on a hot Summer day. Siegfried's is simple, bright and enjoyable. Order at the counter, pay and seat yourself. Then enjoy. Lots on the menu and lots of other German goodies to take home. Bread, chocolate, marzipan. Can you spell Siegfrieds???

Amazing authentic German food. I think at this point in time I've had everything on the menu. It's just all great! The is also a proper deli and a good assortment of European foods and desert

Food was amazing here! You've got to act fast and know what you want when you get to the counter though so make sure you take a look at the menu before

As always, destination place. Great German food, especially on the way up to Octoberfest. Don't forget the draft beer!

I don't usually write Yelp reviews because I'm somewhat lazy in this department, but this place deserved it. We were visiting Salt Lake and used Yelp to find a place for lunch and went here. Fantastic! If I lived in Salt Lake, I'd be eating here twice a week. I had the Spicy Hungarian Goulash and my wife had the Reuben and we both loved them. Great to see spaetzyl again - not seen a lot where we live in North Carolina! We highly recommend this place.

Siegfrieds does one thing and they do it well...German food! The line moves fast so don't be scared away because of it. They have a very efficient cafeteria/counter system where customers can see their food and point it out while ordering. The food is very reasonably priced and the portions are large. Everything taste homemade and is very good. Love the gravy! Look forward to another visit one day soon.

Amazingly delicious and authentic German food! What a gem of a place! The schnitzel was absolutely fantastic! Perfect amount of breading, crispy but not greasy. The spatzle was also amazing, and so was the cabbage. The store also sells great German products. And I highly recommend you trying some of the real German cookies they have. Trust me, as someone who has lived in Germany, real German cookies are very different than those we buy at large grocery stores in the US. Highly, highly recommend this place and will go back if I am ever in town again!

Best German deli in SLC. Possibly the only German deli in SLC? Either way, a 5 star experience. Between eating in plus DoorDash I've probably eaten here about 15 times and there is nothing I wouldn't recommend. Some of my standout favorites are the sides. I especially enjoy the macaroni salad and potato salad (hot and cold are both different but good). Sandwiches are good, cake is really good (love the carrot cake). The place has a chill atmosphere and there is a little grocery store as well. Check out the chocolate section in particular if you like your candy bars a little less sweet (but still not bitter).

Siegfried's is good, but not "knock my socks off" great. It's a deli/grocery store that has a great bustling ambiance to it, but for the style of food that is served, it was a bit overpriced. The schnitzel comes out piping hot and fresh, but the sides are under a heat lamp and are just lukewarm. For $15+ I would expect more from a cafeteria style service. I noticed the schnitzel also ranges in size and we unfortunately got a small couple of schnitzels. It's hard to find seating for a large group and it definitely gets busy during lunch hours. Overall I would come back, but I'm not going to be craving it.

After a long day at comic con we wandered over to Siegfried's for a little German food. This time I did not get my usual Weinerscnitzel and spaetzel I opted for a Turkey Rueben with a side of fried potatoes. They use only the highest quality meats and cheeses and the bread was freshly toasted and topped with sauerkraut. It really hit the spot but I might revert to my above mentions next time. Just because a sandwich is a sandwich. They also have a beautiful bakery case and pantry items for sale. This place is allot of fun, filled with flavor.

Still giving this place 3 stars as the customer service is pretty sub par and the food still mediocre. Came back and this time ordered a Reuben sandwich. The sand which itself was falling apart and pretty soggy. Other than that, I was able to find my Vitalis cereal which is hard to find in general! Great job for having this in stock

Nice authentic German food after so long was a nice surprise. Place was a bit packed due to popularity I guess, but that just speaks well of them. Prices are extremely affordable and portion are sizeable, about the only thing I would have a small complaint about was that some of the spaetzle were a bit too dry. I tried the stuffed cabbage as well but kinda ate it all before deciding to do this review, but it was good if your curious.

Oh my gosh! This place is amazing!! We've been twice now in our trip to SLC, everything is delicious! Need to try this 100%
