What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Stein's Market and Deli is highly praised for its authentic New York-style Jewish deli experience, with stand-out pastrami sandwiches and an impressive craft beer selection. While many rave about the delicious food and vibrant atmosphere, some note that seating is limited and service can feel rushed during peak hours. The overall consensus is a must-visit spot for quality deli fare.
"Superb deli. Amazing hot pastrami on rye the Rachel - with sauerkraut and Swiss), great pickles. The first place I have seen Dr Brown’s cel-ray soda outside NY. And incredible Pretty Coffee."
Stuart West
"This was a great stop for a quick lunch. I had the Italian and my significant other had the BLT. Both sandwiches were fresh and tasty. We ate inside to beat the New Orleans heat. This place is busy, but the service is quick."
Charmaine McMillen
"We stopped at Stein’s while walking around the Garden District. Walking in, you feel like you’re in a New York Deli. There is limited seating, but people clear out fast enough it wasn’t an issue. We tried the pastrami sandwich with coleslaw on the seeded bread and the Robért. Both sandwiches were delicious and very filling. Great spot for a quick bite!"

Frequently Asked Questions
The hot pastrami on rye, especially 'The Rachel' and 'The Sam', are highly recommended. Bagels with lox and the muffuletta are also popular choices.
Due to city zoning laws, Stein's Market and Deli has an off-premise permit, meaning you can purchase craft beers to go but cannot consume them on-site.
Seating is limited, so visiting during off-peak hours is advised. Many customers opt for takeout to enjoy their delicious sandwiches elsewhere.
While the menu primarily focuses on traditional deli fare, it's best to inquire directly about specific dietary accommodations as options may vary.
The deli has a lively, bustling atmosphere that many describe as feeling like a classic New York City deli, with shelves stocked with specialty items.

10 of the best places to eat in New Orleans
You likely came to New Orleans wanting a po’boy, the city’s famous take on a sub (or maybe the sub is the Yankee take on the po’boy). But there are more ways to devour ingredients between bread than the justifiably famous po’boy, and Stein's Market & Deli, a local deli par excellence, is ready to go toe to toe with any protein-carb combo your hometown can muster. Wait in line (there’s inevitably a line), look at the fridge of craft beers and sodas, purchase one of said beverages and don’t be intimidated by Dan Stein himself, who acts gruff but is kind of a sweetheart.

It sells Davidovich bagels in various flavors (or all of them -- get an “everything”!) combined with a number of gussied-up cream cheeses ranging from smoked salmon to chive, veggie, honey nut, and more, all for only $2.29.
10 of New Orleans' Best Beer Bars & Restaurants
Dan Stein’s Philadelphia-style Jewish deli has the best selection of packaged craft beer in the city, as well as some of the best sandwiches. However, due to city zoning laws, you can’t enjoy them together. Stan’s Deli has an off-premise permit, so first place an order for the Sam (hot pastrami, swiss cheese and coleslaw on rye bread with Russian dressing), the Kelly (prosciutto, Delice de Bourgogne cheese and apple on house-baked ciabatta) or one of the daily specials (like the Philly cheese steak, roast pork with broccoli rabe, or meatball sub).
Craft Beer Guide to New Orleans
The details: It’s fair to wonder if the craft beer movement would exist in New Orleans without Avenue Pub (NOLA founder Kirk Coco credits his brewery’s birth to a meeting at Avenue with owner Polly Watts and other local industry folks like Dan Stein of Stein’s Deli). Built sometime in the mid 1800s, the historic building was owned by Polly Watts’ father until he passed away. Looking to do something to shakeup the business, Polly took the place headfirst into the craft movement.
Day Trip Itinerary for the Garden District, New Orleans
A muffuletta from Stein’s Market, which features a tasty garlic vinaigrette, will take care of that. This no-frills, no-hand-holding, and no-po-boys Jewish and Italian deli is beloved among locals for their delicious sandwiches, awesome beer and market selections, and feisty attitudes. We loved the “muphuletta”, a giant sandwich of mortadella, molinari sopressata, Tuscan ham, aged provolone, and house-made olive salad on ciabatta… with that garlic vinaigrette, of course.
Exploring Magazine Street
A classic Jewish-Italian deli that’s popular for its specialty meats, cheeses, and brews. This is where you can get Cuban or breakfast sandwiches outside of the French Quarter (we’re talking about Verti Marte), or a corned beef special the likes of which you’d find at legendary delis like Katz’s in New York City. This is also a place for you if you’ve been nostalgic for a cheesesteak, a hoagie, a matzah ball soup, or a tuna melt from your home city.

As soon as you walk into Stein’s, it feels like you’ve been transported to a local deli in NYC. The sandwiches and bagels are delicious, and the best you’ll find in New Orleans. They also have a great beer selection in the coolers, as well as the room out back (follow the signs outside to the door on the right.) I love that you can grab a mix to make your own 4 or 6-pack, then take them to go and enjoy a drink while you walk along Magazine Street.
NOLA Brewing, at the Heart of a Growing New Orleans Craft Beer Scene
Just a short drive from the brewery is Steins Deli on Magazine Street. This hipster hotspot was another gem, and clearly one of the best places to find a good selection of craft beer bottles in the city. There’s a good chance that if you visit this shop you’ll find some limited seasonal releases from a few of Louisiana’s other impressive craft breweries such as Parish and Bayou Teche.

While there is indeed a deli making amazing sandwiches (Fernando is my personal favorite), the secret is in the back. Walk beyond the deli to the back door, go outside, turn to your right, and open the back room where you are greeted by 100’s of bottles. Spend some time looking through the collection, and you’re sure to find something special.

1.) Stein’s— I am not, in the least bit, hesitant to put a Philly/New York-inspired Jewish deli at the top of my New Orleans lunch list.
