I thought it was funny that when I searched for West Street Deli an add for Jimmy Johns popped up and hardly any info or description about West st. The deli doesn‘t even look the same as the picture. Don‘t the owners know they can post new and real info about their restaurant? For all their lack of advertising this is by far the best deli and one of the best restauraunts in Ames. I just think they should spread the word better. I think it‘s insulting to have an add for such a pathetic place like jj on the same page as this Deli. The specials they have are out of this world!! The portions are huge for the money. I found out they use alot of organic stuff and cook tuna steaks just for tuna salad, cook their own roast beef, chicken, egg salad etc, they make virtually everything from scratch. You can‘t compare it to any chain restauraunt. The only problem I have is that they don‘t seem to care about advertising, They probably don‘t know this site.
But by chance that they do, my advise, ADVERTISE!!

I have been a regular at West Street for many years, I know for a fact that they have a loyal customer base although some are uninformed idiots like the last person that wrote in.
I have never had a problem that they weren‘t happy to take care of. The food is allways above average and homemade. I‘m not a vegetarian so I don‘t know about your tofu problem but I do know that they still have homemade hotsauces and the restroom (singular) is very clean as is the dinning area.
Unless they are too busy to clean during peak hours, a problem that proves they are the best!!!

This place is so- so at best. If you are vegetarian they have a few options for you which is nice(If the tofu is properly stocked which it rarely is.) Prices are a bit high, service can be inattentive and slow, and it seems as though it is under new management which has taken away one of their best features- homemade hot sauces.
Dining area is small and often dirty. Restrooms are uncleanly.

West Street Deli has the best sandwiches in town!
To the last person... they still have homemade hot sauce. It‘s killer! You just have to ask for it on your sandwich. I know what you mean about that girl... but she‘s not there anymore, so no worries. I have eaten there for over 5 years, obviously they have had many different people working there some nice, some not as nice but the food seems to keep getting better.

This place used to be much better, when the tattooed folks ran the counter. They had these great homemade hot sauces, that the new owner decided to destroy. The sandwiches are good, but don‘t you dare try to alter something on the pre-fabricated menu. The counter girl will give the rolling of the eyes, and butcher the sandwich at your expense.
