Um... YUM! My son and I stopped in for lunch. He got grilled cheese which he rated 10 out of 5 stars and I ordered a pesto sandwich that was amazing! I don't know if the fact I did not have to make this sandwich made it taste more incredible or if it really was just that delicious. I am leaning towards the latter of the two, but seriously, great little deli!

Super nice guy running the place, serving up really good sandwiches. I got the Unforgettable, a hot sando with chicken and pesto, and I didn’t regret it. Fast service too, perfect for a lunch break!

Big Blue Deli is a small sandwich shop downtown near Transylvania University. It has an eclectic array of memorabilia of UK Basketball history. Golf clubs, other types of possessions of past players, coaches. Service was very friendly and accommodating. The place is small so if busy you may have a little bit of a wait but they hustle. Food is above average and freshly made. Not much seating so recommend to do a take out order during lunch.

One of the best restaurants I've found in Lexington! It's truly a hole in the wall, but in all the best ways. The sandwiches are to die for and there are new specials every day. I've tried four different sandwiches now and each time I've thought "this is the best sandwich ever". I guess I need to make my way through the menu to give a definitive answer, but I highly recommend Big Blue Deli!

What a great sandwich! I’ve been trying to get here for months and finally got to make it over. Place is awesome, and the sandwich is even better.

This place is gold! Love the nostalgia. The sandwiches all look amazing and I opted for The Runt. Pastrami & Corned Beef with kraut & 1000 island on rye. It was so tasty. I gotta try all of the sammiches now.

The French dip was the special today and it was great! Boars Head quality beef and the dipping sauce is the best I've ever had. Also, super cool place with tons of memorabilia and a super friendly owner. Give this place a try!
