Nelson Cheese Deli - Saint Paul

Great Sandwiches if you love Deli?s I?d really also enjoyed the hot dogs! I love a Chicago dog!!! The service was fantastic too with very friendly staff and if I?m in town again I?d check them out again for sure!

Great service. No seating. Free parking in back. Fast check out. Small soup cup $3. Cookies $1.50, other desserts are about $3, craft sodas are $2- $3. Expect to spend $8-$12 per adult. Came in from out of town, and wish I lived closer to this place. Loveit:

Nelson Cheese Deli has always been a great experience. Their food is always top notch and their interactions are event better. If you are in the area, it is absolutely worth swinging by.

I had been attempting to try Nelson’s since Sunday, unfortunately the wrong hours were listed on google. I went there today along with my son. I saw the reviews and we both decided to get the torpedo roll, which is the largest sandwich. We got home and anxiously opened our sandwiches. My first bite I could immediately taste the staleness and dryness of the bread and was immediately disappointed. My son immediately said “Mom the bread is not good”. The meat, cheese and veggies is what you would expect at deli. I omitted the bread and had a lettuce wrap. Sadly I would have prepared Subways’ bread over this. I was trying something new, but I will take the 35 minute drive to Caffreys, where I know I won’t be disappointed.

Great local deli. Quality food and service and great ambiance (even for just take out). I like authentic and local experiences and Nelson's provides that. I've made an effort to purchase there more regularly during covid including the post-summer staffing shortages when high school kids couldn't help out.
