Dixie Delicatessen

It’s a genuine deli, right here in the dreary suburbs of Cincinnati. As of this writing, Unilocal only shows «Deli» under the Restaurant category. I’m on a mission to get them to correct that: while they are not as common here, a true deli is a food store. It’s not a restaurant, there is no seating, and no «ambience» to speak of.
If you need some sliced cold cuts, potato salad, deviled eggs, juicy pickles, soup to go, a snack cake, loaf of bread, head of lettuce, a can of soda or a bottle of beer, or, obviously, a made-​to-​order sandwich, you don’t have to go to the super duper mega market. You go to the deli. And this is really a good one! They don’t carry Boar’s Head brand unfortunately, but they have Kahn’s and several other quality brands of cold meats. Their roast beef is particularly tasty.
This is an extra large deli and convenience store, with plenty of necessaries available in the grocery aisles, not to mention a little hardware section, pet accessories section, personal care items, automotive items, etc. and you can’t beat the hours: 5 AM to midnight six days a week, with their «late» opening on Sunday at 8 AM. That’s even better than a lotta delis back home in New York!
Service is prompt and friendly. I’ve subtracted a star due to the absence of the aforesaid Boar’s Head, and the absence of Kaiser rolls for sandwiches (Alas!).
I come here a lot, and you should, too.

I know a guy who refuses to eat at any restaurant accompanying a gas station. I am not so discriminating, and I’m glad, because places like the Dixie Deli should not be judged based on their locations. The deli is a family run business specializing in soups, sandwiches, and salads, so, typical deli fare. What’s atypical, though, is the service. Used to regulars, the staff is very accommodating and have an instant and easy rapport.
If you’re strapped for time, you can call ahead and have your order waiting for you. Also, the deli is located inside a convenience store. It’s pretty convenient.
