Ray's Deli - Seattle

This place is horrid. How are they even still around, and more importantly, how can they afford to pay rent here?? The tomato basil soup was a disgrace. I should have taken a picture of it because it had this texture and appearance that after my first bite, I knew I 'd come down with something fierce if I consumed even a tad bit more. The toasted turkey sandwich was a joke and poorly thrown together. If I wanted to flush $15 down the drain, I would have at least used one of the nice washrooms in Columbia tower to do this rather than risk my life consuming food from here.

A reuben that is not grilled? No thanks! Stopped by ray's when I saw the special of the day was a reuben. this is my favorite sandwich. Tried them over the entire country. This is the first and only time I had one on toasted rye. That is like serving a grilled cheese on toasted bread. It just is not done. I gave the place 2 stars because the sandwich tasted fine, it just did not taste like a reuben.

Got a so called Philly Cheesesteak sandwich. I think a picture speaks 1000 words. As you can see not what you would call a Philly Cheesesteak sandy

First visit to Ray's today, based on other reviews. I agree with others that the food was pretty good, quick and decent value. But a couple of oddities: I tried to order a Veggie toasted sandwich...nope, they were all out (how do you run out of all veggies? . Also, they put their sandwiches in plastic containers and then hand them to you in a plastic bag. Why not just wrap them in paper? Both are then compostable and better for the environment.

Awesome little mom and pop deli in the Columbia Tower next to Specialties. This is the owner. He's really nice. I've been coming here for breakfast samiches for years. Sausage Bacon Egg Cheese on an everything bagel is $5.50. Credit cards accepted over $4. The owner and his son both work here and maybe other family too. Buy Local! Thanks for breakfast! I work several blocks away and I love this place. I've worked downtown for 7 years. They Have a great selection for lunch sandwiches, breakfast sandwiches. You might want to get there before eight in the morning in order to get the bagels. This is a way better deal than specialties. Enjoy!
