Eller Deli

Finally got a chance to try this place since i'm a nightshift worker. The inside is your typical deli ambiance with a food counter to order and a few cold cases with fun extras. Staff is extremely friendly. Their reuben is to die for and I love all of their side dishes! Definitely give this place a try!

Greeted with friendly smiles and a very inviting atmosphere. Free papers to read which helps to be in the moment and stay off the phone and further enjoy the morning. Zoe was the first to say hello and immediately I could tell I was in the right place. Jeremy was the man and was more than happy to answer all of my questions. He helped me craft my perfect breakfast sandwich. They also have a bunch of great options if you don’t like making decisions. Todd came out presented the delicious dish. He then paused for a moment to make sure I had everything I need! Mind you this place was extremely busy but he still took the time to care. I can tell he takes a lot of pride in his cooking. I got the cheddar jalapeño egg and cheese with the Taylor ham 10/10. They have a great variety of breakfast and lunch items. They even do rotating specials!! Price was on point and more than affordable. I will be back soon!

I live in Austin but I grew up in Tucson and I have been beside myself wanting to give Kneller’s a try. I swear, it was half the reason I came back for Christmas this year!! And I was not disappointed. Started with the matzo bal soup which was hands down the most flavorful I have ever had. Herbaceous and well seasoned, fluffy but substantial matzo ball, and the fried chicken skin added the perfect texture. Add in a couple dashes of Jabari hot sauce and you’re hot to go! The pastrami egg and cheese was also absolutely out of this world. The pastrami was juicy and delectable with the perfect amount of chewy bark, the Kaiser roll was baked to perfection, and the Russian dressing took it to the next level. My vegetarian boyfriend had the death free breakfast sando with cheese, which was also amazing. The marinated tofu was bursting with flavor. We were appreciative of all the vegetarian and vegan options, the only disappointment was that we couldn’t try more!! Do not sleep on the hot sauce either. Delicious and balanced. Not overly sweet, spicy, or vinegary. I like a little spice and my boyfriend likes a lot- it’s nice that we can use the same hot sauce just in differing amounts. I will keep dreaming of my Kneller’s experience in Texas and I’m jealous of anyone that gets to go with regularity!! Jeremy is also a great business owner, you can tell how much thought and care he puts into the deli. What a gem for Tucson to have.

So happy to find an authentic NY Deli in Tucson. Everything tastes like Bubbe made it from scratch. Loved the decked-out bagel & house-cured lox. Far better lox than what we are able to source from grocery stores or Costco locally. The Pastrami rueben was delicious, as were the Harissa carrots, potato & egg salad, and Matzo ball soup with a rich, dark broth and plenty of dill like we love it. The walnut-raisin rugelach was super tasty. Our grown children live in NYC and we can’t wait to bring them here on their next visit. Todah Rabbah!

Well, long time New Yorker here and to be completely honest, the food and vibes were Fantastic! Came on a Friday afternoon and the place was packed with smiling faces. Got the lox bagel and my friend got the brisket. Hearty portions and yum! Keep in mind this is a NEW place so give them a chance if things aren’t perfect right off the bat. I saw soooo many things on the menu I can’t wait to try! That matzo ball soup looked amazing. I feel super excited to have a spot like this in town. Will be back for sure!
