Downtown Deli LLC

Its hard to find a cheap, delicious sandwich. But here you go. Everything is made to order, no premade sandwiches here. I love the veggie with hummus and sauerkraut. Where else can you get a 7" sub for under $5. Plus its fun to sit in the front and people watch on Main Street.

My boyfriend and I decided to give Downtown Deli a try. We were more than impressed! The bread was fabulous, the fresh sliced meat and cheese were yummy, and the mayo was perfectly sweet. What a refreshing little place to eat. The staff was very friendly as well! We will now be regulars here!

The best deli I had ..... The service and the food is awesome.....

This place is great! Even my son-in-law from NYC, the home of great Subs, loves Downtown Deli!

I love this place....great food, great prices....

I love the subs here go cheep and fast. My sons thinks the Downtosn Deli is the best place in the world.

best price and quality for sandwiches in ames. their 5 cheese sub on wheat is amazing; the hot pepper cheese adds so much flavor. that‘s what i order more often than not, and i‘m not even a vegetarian. and i agree about the cheese soup. yummy.

Decent subs at a good price. Have been here a few times overall happy with the service, prices, and food. Go here early in the day though because they always run out of bread.

Best subs ever. Good, cheep, fast. The greatest cheese soup I have ever found, have to fight the kids and wife to even get to eat my own soup. A must for anyone wanting a good quick lunch.

An absolute gem... super tasty sandwiches (best in town!) and friendly staff. Definitely worth a bit of a wait in line. I grew up in Ames, and I try to hit up the DTD whenever I‘m back in town. Gotta love and support unique, terrific, and locally owned places like this.

This is by far the best deli in town!
If you want a real, fresh made, cut the meat in front of you, made as you order sammy, this is it by far.
The staff is great, the service is great, the food is great.
There is a reason people wait in line to eat here....IT‘S DANG GOOD :)

What a great alternative to Subway, "The Q" and Jimmy Johns. They have pastrami! Plus you can truly build your sandwich from the bottom up.

how could west street deli be rated higher than downtown deli??? HOW COULD YOU!!!! Down town deli is a place of hope. Hope that our futures could never reach before. My children will be raised not on Christianity but on Downtown deli. My holy trinity is not the father son and the holy spirit, it is capicolla salami and provolone, piled high with love and care.

Best Place in town. Best Prices. Best Staff. Best.

Best deli in town.

Cheap food, and great service make it a staple for eating in Ames. Better than any sub place. You can‘t go wrong with their French Dip and a cup of soup

I have literally ate here 400+ times, virtually every day for years while I worked in Ames. The Thumann‘s meats are killer, the butter ecan cake rocks, and the soups are super. The Gumbo is king. Spacey employees kind of add a funky charm, IMO, and no one is nicer than Claude.

it doesn‘t cost more than the place down the street. it is less then subway by far

Nice place for lunch. Costs more than the chains down the road but the meat quality and the service make it worth it. Good soups too.
