First time ordering and the description and the picture of the smoked meat sandwich are soooo wrong. Taste was OK, the size was worth $9.99 at best, in terms of quantity. Smoked meat sandwich from Pancers, twice the size, less costly. As a rule, I always give a restaurant a second chance. At these prices, can't afford it.

Overall good food in this small deli on Avenue Road near the intersection with Lawrence. Nice and clean location with plenty of seating. Good for takeout with decent choices on the menu. Honestly - all good, but not necessarily amazing, principally for a couple of reasons. First, the sandwiches are absolutely fresh with amply portions of fresh meat, but they were not overwhelmingly different or especially flavorful. Second, the menu is slightly more expensive - especially given the first point. As a consumer, I would pay for unique, but unfortunately Dave's was not different enough to support a premium price for the meal.

Wonderful smoked meat on rye. 8oz shared with my son was perfect. Very busy for Friday lunch. Not cheap but worth it.

We were driving by and decided to try Dave’s. Looked like a great menu and clean. We had the corned beef and the Reuben and they were amazing. Fries and pickles also top shelf. Fantastic, friendly service. Best sandwiches we have had in a long time.

Had the 1/2lb smoked meat sandwich and a kishke. Absolutely delicious. Worth the price. I had the pleasure of talking to the owner Dave while I waited for my order (did take out). Really nice dude, helping me find solutions on his menu for my wife who has dietary restrictions. A large part of the menu is GF and they offer GF bread. I will definitely be returning.

This place is great. Real deal deli but made with a lot of care and attention. It’s not the cheapest place but you absolutely get what you pay for. Highly recommended.

Was really looking forward to being wowed.Cool tunes upon entering.Nice fellows.$27 for a roast beef dip on an onion bun & a Coca Cola.The onion bun was tiny, the beef was overcooked and bland. The horseradish aioli sauce was tasteless and messy.The 'everybody gets a pickle' was a mushy spear of gross.My preferred extra 4 minute drive to Pancers and my trusty massive, juicy as hell roast beef on an onion bun, big fresh crunchy pickle, tasty gravy & a Coca Cola for $21 was wasted on this place, but one must try.Really nice guys.
