The Manhattan Deli

Everything here is homemade, the latkes, breads and rolls, cookies, cheesecakes, even the meat is roasted here. The food is delicious, the prices are reasonable, and the staff is always friendly. We think it‘s the best kept secret in Lincoln.

Best Reuben in Lincoln???? I don‘t think so. Not enough meat and no flavor at all. Now my wife knows how to make a Reuben - 100 times better than NYCD.

Being from New York, I‘m very familiar with delis. This is no Katz or Second Avenue, but for Lincoln, Ne. this comes pretty close. I‘m told most everything is made from scratch in the kitchen--and I believe it. With two friends, we sampled the Reuben, Turkey and Pastrami. Great taste and very tender--delicious bread too. And Knish & latkes too! The desserts were good also. I‘ll be back!

This is my favorite reuben in town. I‘ve been a reuben conniessuer my whole life, and I‘m quite attached to this version. As for sides, I tend toward the Hawaiian coleslaw which incorporates a sweeter flavor with green raisins and pineapple. I also like the Russian potato salad, a very pink variety due to the use of beets.

I heard about this place from a friend and decided to go for lunch. Hands down, best reuben I‘ve had in my life. It‘s just about the only place that marinates the sauerkraut in the thousand island dressing. I would suggest going for the russian potato salad too, if you don‘t mind beets. I asked and they said they make everything in the back, including cooking the meat. You can tell. I highly recommend.

Everyone talks about the Haymarket being the spot to be, so I‘m gonna hit up. Especially, now that I‘m learning there isn‘t tihs to do in Lincoln. Anyway, spent some time in the NYC and this place ain‘t no Jewish deli. The rueben was highly recommended....I highly recommend not getting it. The sandwich lacked chutzpah (very little meat) and was way too sloppy. I suggest getting a pastrami or corned beef sandwich on rye and use the mustard on the table.
