I absolutely love this place. It’s a perfect lunch spot. The sandwiches are carefully created with purposeful ingredients. The homemade soups are wonderful on a chilly day. The cookies are a delicious sweet treat. The staff is phenomenal. They truly care that your dining experience meets their high standards. I eat here weekly and never get tired of the food. They have so many options!Highly recommend.

Very nice people...not rude at all. Pastrami was awesome.

They make Matzo ball soup, are THE Louisville source for Matzo ball soup. It's good. They have a line of well prepared deli classics like the Reuben , an adequate number of decent side options, and an assembly line style which they have tuned over the decades.All that said, SSD doesn't grow, and it shows sometimes. Their golden location is home to so many other restaurants that can surprise you, and sometimes just looking at Google Maps you can't make yourself go get that same roast beef with scallion cream cheese you have been ordering since 2005.But every other time you should go- consider it a donation to keeping Louisville a city you can get a bowl of matzo ball soup in.

I have been a loyal customer for 20 years. Today I ordered one of my favorites Tomato AL Fresco, and it was not a good batch. It was swimming in dressing which overwhelmed the other ingredients. It never has been like that before. Maybe someone didn't follow the recipe, just thought you would like to know. Majic Mushroom Soup was exquisite, as always. I will always continue to be one of your returning patrons, I tell everyone how great you are!
