Good Spot

by plasticdonut32

I've been going to New World Deli for about 7 years and have never had a dissapointing experience. They have a great tuna melt and their Greek salad is wonderful. I wish they had a better way to expedite call-in orders and the huge lunch rush. I do appreciate that they discourage ordering their grilled sandwiches to-go, because they are meant to be eaten hot, fresh and not soggy. Overall, a good place with great sandwiches. I have not tried their dinner, but their menu looks enticing.

• Pros: sandwiches, soups, location
• Cons: huge lunch rush

Great Austin Owned Deli with a Great BIG Austin Personality!

by Austin3d

I've been eating at New World Deli for years and every time I visit, I walk out with a smile on my face. The food is great (everybody knows about their Reuben but they excel in much more than that) and the service is always fast and friendly. You can have a beer or a nice glass of wine with your meal and they have live music on a regular basis. While the place is a "deli," it does have a very nice comfortable feel that my wife and I enjoy before a movie or a show when we go on "date night." The owners, Greg and Sarah and their daughters are always there working the counter and the crowd. At lunch time, they take your name when you place your order. On one of our visits a while back, Greg had the packed dining room rolling when he sang a few verses of Simon and Garfunkles' "Cecilia" until Cecilia came to claim her sandwich. Unlike a lot of Austin restaurants, both local and chain, they really do a good job of making everyone who goes in there feel important.

• Pros: Austin concept with great food, great service, and heart!
• Cons: Only one location

Just Great Sandwiches!

by jascorrigan

I eat here regularly as I work downtown and the sandwiches are always fantastic. The ingredients make the difference as your standard sub shops just can't compare. Food is always fresh and the menu provides many options. My only complaint is it sometimes gets really busy at lunch, but it is still worth the wait.
