Solomon's Delicatessen

Came in this morning for breakfast. Grabbed smoked sturgeon on black sea salt bagel. I'm pretty picky about my bagels, and these were really great. Fish was excellent (and there was a pile of it). Wife opted for the smoked salmon, which was also quite good. We will definitely come by again!!

I was hoping to be able to experience NYC deli in Davis, but alas no. My family ordered a round of "The Stanley" hot pastrami sandwiches. The pastrami was fairly tasteless and the rye was not flavorful. My husband commented that Trader Joe's corn rye would have been a step up with regard to the bread. The sandwiches were pricey for what you received ($12.44/ sandwich) and to achieve a traditional Reuben sandwich, you needed to pay an additional $1.99 for the Swiss cheese and $1.33 for sauerkraut. I ordered "The Terri" which was an albacore tuna melt that was toasted black and the tuna was laden with mayonnaise with little to no seasoning. I should also mention that your sandwich comes with a pickle spear and that's it... no cole slaw or even potato salad! This is no delicatessen. When I travel to the Bay area and return to Davis, I never miss an opportunity to visit Saul's Restaurant & Delicatessen in Berkeley with a large cooler to bring back some of the best pastrami and corned beef my family has ever had on the West Coast. They also sell terrific smoked fish, rye bread and pickles. If you have a hankering for deli and want to take the drive to the East Bay, Saul's is the place to go! Perhaps the folks at Solomon's could take some cues from Saul's.

If a rating star was available showing less than a 1, I would have used it. I’ve traveled all over the US for business and have enjoyed Jewish deli cuisine in NYC, LA, and others. Solomons missed the mark big time. Not only poor bagel quality the lox on my sandwich was less than stellar. Noah’s is far better! Many other places offer better deli!!!!

My husband and I are real fans of Jewish delis, so when we heard that one finally opened in Davis we immediately went and picked up lunch. What a disappointing experience! Matzo ball soup ($7.77) did not have any chicken or noodles, the vegetables were pretty much raw and even the matzo ball was not cooked through. Not to mention the ridiculously small size of a portion for 8 bucks. The hot pastrami sandwich ($13) was NOT hot, the cheese was not melted, and it was served with mustard instead of Russian dressing as requested. Summary: high priced bad food. EDIT (as a response to the owner): As I said we picked up food (to go) so we definitely could not have addressed the issue while there. Also the experience was not “not ideal” it was plainly disastrous.

Solomon’s has made my Jewish Debi dreams come true in Davis! Can’t wait for the Sacto location to open so we have not one, but two, incredible high quality and creative Jewish delicatessens in the greater Sacramento area. Solomon’s gives this area another reason to be known for its expanding food scene. The lox and pastrami are out of this world and bring me home to my Brooklyn Jewish roots. Five stars!

This is so far from a Jewish style Deli that it’s a joke. Completely overpriced. Bagel was hard with very little lox and although the corned beef wasn’t bad the rye bread was a fake. We were so disappointed since we were excited about the restaurant. I’ll make my own corned beef sandwiches before I’d go back.

Delicious food for a good price and excellent service. Thank you Solomon's for catering our Mother's Day brunch. My family was visiting from the East coast and were so impressed we had such an authentic Jewish deli here in CA.

So we've been planning a day trip to Davis for a while now to get some bagels and beers at Solomons, and then go look at some bookstores. Fiona was just amazing! We were having a hard time from the trip up here, and she totally took care of us. We'll definitely be making the trip up to visit Solomons every few weeks. Thanks Fiona!
