LoveFood.com offer the following review of Blues City Deli:
“Blues City Kitchen is a friendly joint specializing in po’ boys, muffulettas, and pastrami sandwiches. With a menu full of dishes that nod to cities along the Blues Highway – the club sandwich from New York, and muffuletta from New Orleans – diners are guaranteed a bluesy soundtrack to eat their sammies to. Complete your meal with a loaded potato salad filled with bacon, sour cream, and chives, plus an old-fashioned soda to wash it all down.”
Blues City Deli was also praised as Yelp’s best restaurant in the Midwest last year.
