Diamond Deli

This sandwich shop sits in downtown Akron. I need everyone in the surrounding areas to check this place out asap. They're open Monday-Friday. But now for the review. Upon walking in you smell the aroma of meats, and you see several guys working hard making fresh soup and slicing brisket, roast beef etc. they have cool names for each sandwich, but what's even better is the sandwiches are good than a mug. I tried the sandwich with corned beef and pastrami... OMG the toasted rye bread is able to hold this entire sandwich together, the sauce adds the right amount of sweetness, the melted Swiss cheese gives it the glue to hold everything in. I kid you not, every bite of this sandwich is amazing. 10/10 experience for me. Would definitely recommend

Great service and even better food. Long line at lunchtime but worth it. Bathrooms were clean.

Great food, good service. There's always a line out the door at lunch, so I'd recommend ordering your food online and walking down to pick it up. A true Akron staple!

It's a 5 star for a Deli. The staff is so friendly, even though the line is out the door, they take time with customers to explain things and are friendly in communication. The staff seems to have great time working there, which is nice to see that kind of relationship between employees. The inside of the store is a Deli vibe and ambience is relaxed. The sandwiches are delicious! Thank you guys! Keep it up. Looking back to visiting the place when I'm back in Akron.
P.S. The Bold guy sandwich was really good!

My favorite deli in Akron. They aren't open on weekends when I'm here so it was exciting to get here in a rare weekday to snag a few. The bread is perfect and buttery and the options are subtly different but loads of Reuben variants. Staff is cool. Can't ask for much more out of a sandwich!

Love this place. Great sandwiches and the best matzo ball soup I've ever had...it's the reason I go. I live in Minneapolis and travel to Akron for work a couple times a year and it's a must stop for me. A must!

Ok!! My coworkers crazy about this place!! I would say the cake was delicious. Overrated if you ask me but it's a staple in Akron. Tbh these fools would eat dog food if you add m&m's

I was in Akron for less than 24 hours for work and made Diamond Deli one of my few stops... and no regret! My only regret is not getting a jumbo instead of a regular for the amazing Rachel, which features pastrami and sauerkraut on grilled rye bread with Swiss cheese and 1000 island dressing. I'm usually decently healthy and a smaller portioned person (more of an all-day snacker than a three times a day kinda girl) and man, I devoured this sandwich like no other! The vibe is super chill, friendly, and cozy and folks are real nice. The guy in front of me shared how he's been eating here 2-3 times per week since he was a kid and had the most amazing-looking slice of carrot cake.

A "diamond" of a deli. Can't go wrong if you're looking for deli sandwich. The busy-ness of the deli is a testament to its popularity. There is room to eat inside, but it fills up fast when lunch time rolls around.

WOW, WOW, WOW!!!

I've been wanting to buy Diamond Deli sandwiches for a while now, and today....it happened, it really happened. A couple of the guys and I decided to DoorDash today and WOW (signed up for DoorDash simply to order from this place)! We're so happy we did!

I got the Stray Diamond, delicious corned beef, coleslaw was a great blend of sweetness to it and the sandwich is more than enough!

Ordering through DoorDash mad it easy to customize the sandwiches, if anything, I'd ask for photos, but overall they do a great job describing each sandwich.

Definitely will be ordering from this place again! Already planning my next order!

Do yourself a favor, if you love a great friend experience, TRY THIS PLACE!!!
