A beloved gem in New Orleans, this Jewish-Italian market offers mouthwatering sandwiches, fresh-baked bread, and an inviting ambiance that keeps patrons coming back.
"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." - Clair Lorell
"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

"Owner Dan Stein says he’s expecting inevitable last-minute orders of matzo ball soup, and will likely have some chocolate macaroons on hand — the deli is also stocked with gefilte fish and matzo." - Justine Jones
"Stein’s Deli is owned by Dan Stein, featured on Queer Eye. It is one of the three New Orleans food world characters featured on the show." - Justine Jones
