"It’s good to know your order when heading into Dan Stein’s tiny Jewish and Italian deli, a crowded lunch destination on Magazine Street, but if you’re really unsure, staff will (sometimes begrudgingly) help you pick the perfect sandwich. Corned beef and pastrami are the stars here, so the Reuben or Rachel serve as shining examples of the shop’s abilities." - Beth D’Addono
"A majority of Stein’s customers know their order before they go in, lest they get skipped over in line. There’s not much seating at this sandwich icon — a few more tables are outside on Magazine — but most people grab and go anyways, eager to savor a Rachel, Reuben, and any of the other fantastic sandwiches in the privacy of their own home (or car)." - Eater Staff
"New York-style deli corned beef rocks the house at Stein’s, always served on Jewish rye, although a bagel is also an option. Can’t go wrong with the corned beef special with coleslaw and Russian dressing (get a little extra on the side). Then again the tuna melt is damn good, and there’s plenty that’s Italian too — order the Mumbler because it’s fun to say, and even more fun to eat: ciabatta piled with prosciutto, taleggio, and arugula drizzled with aged balsamic." - Beth D’Addono
"This Jewish-Italian deli and city favorite for corned beef sandwiches is featured in an episode, where Hidalgo goes to talk shop with his developer partner." - Missy Frederick
"Stein’s is a Jewish and Italian deli with bagels, overstuffed sandwiches, and Whatever coffee magic. Also, one of the best off-premise beer selections in the state. Part of the magic is owner Dan Stein’s mensch gruffness, which made for great TV on Queer Eye season seven. Check the daily specials like Tuesday Philly cheese steaks and a tasty roast pork and broccoli rabe sandwich on Thursdays." - Eater Staff
