“Bruce Weiss is one of those people who can turn a simple sandwich into a work of art. Take, for instance, his Elena Ruz — nothing more than cream cheese, strawberry preserves and turkey on bread. But under Weiss' touch, it blossoms into one of the most-popular items on River Street Deli's menu.”

“If you are looking for something fairly quick and absolutely delicious for lunch (or an early dinner) on the North Shore, definitely check out River Street Deli!”

“I’ve been craving a return to River Street Deli and I think I’ll give in to that craving very soon. If you live in Chattanooga and you have not visited this place, please try it. On Friday nights, they do a seated dinner (reservations required) that I think I’d love to try.”

“I love sandwiches way more than I should. River Street Deli is owned by a New York ex-pat and he just knows how to run a deli. I like to go in on Mondays and get Stromboli—Mondays are Stromboli day. I’m from Louisiana, so I know his version of a muffaletta is not a New Orleans muffaletta, but it gets me there. It’s so good. I also never walk out of there without a side of egg salad.”
Garden & Gun
"River Street Deli has been serving delicatessen New York-style sandwiches in a basement space beneath the popular shops of Frazier Avenue since 1998. In that time, it's become a local, lunch-time staple. The “ChattaGooey” and the "Turkey Salsalito" are excellent, but the thing to do when you visit River Street is to order the chef's daily special. Once you've eaten, head for a stroll in Coolidge Park"

“I almost don’t want to tell you about this one and just keep it to myself … but, if you are in the market for a true New York style delicatessen lunch, River Street Deli really delivers."

“I like everything about this place. I loved the madhouse feel of that first visit and the more relaxed and laid-back second trip. ”
