This amazing deli doesnt need my 5-star rating as any proof that theyre doing a good job. They have the history to prove it. My only regret is that its taken us this long as regular visitors to the area to discover it. We will definitely return.

The Market House Grilled Reuben ia must if you are a Reuben Sandwich lover!!The meat was thinly sliced and melt in your mouth, coupled with saurkraut, Swiss cheese and thousand island dressing all harmoniously placed between two slices of rye bread!!! Ok, maybe a little dramatic but this Reuben is one of the best found Ive had in Seattle!I was told by a close source of mine the Pastrami dip sandwich was the best they ever had!The sandwiches are served with scoop of potato salad, a pickle slice and a little cookie!The staff was very helpful and friendly and completed my order quickly as the lunch time rush was coming in.I also heard the staff addressing other customers by their first name and recalling their orders as they were obviously regulars! That tells me this is great spot to eat at!This is a definite go to spot!

I ordered the C.P.R. (corned beef, pastrami, & roast beef on a hoagie roll) and wow, it was hefty and delicious! The staff were also super friendly and welcoming. Ill definitely be coming back to try everything else on the menu.

Fantastic sandwiches with very large portions of meat. Having had several deli sandwiches in NYC, I would say this is very close to something you’d get there. Definitely the best sandwich I’ve had in seattle!!

Got the grilled reuben to go and holy wow was it a great sandwich! Packed full of meat that was still hot when I got it home. The cookie is a nice touch. I grabbed some of the corner beef hash to cook at home since their full corned beef slabs looked AMAZING. I dont have the space in my fridge for one right so I couldnt justify buying one, but a pound of the CBH was much more manageable. I look forward to having it given how delicious this sandwich was! Definitely going back with my bf one of these days.

Amazing Reuben. Nothing else like this in Seattle. Reminds me exactly of Katz’s in New York.

One of the best butchers in the WORLD. We regularly spoiled ourselves with the wagyu scotch steaks. 8 mins on the grill and you’re in heaven. On top of that they’re such a friendly bunch. Always helpful. Even on the phone during lockdown.

I enjoyed the corned beef sandwich with potato salad, it came with mayonnaise mustard and if you like horseradish dont let their description of hot scare you from trying it, it is fresh and delicious horse radish. With plenty of meat in the sandwich you could easily share with someone special or just indulge yourself.

This place is the absolute best. Jose at the counter will hook you up. Just a reminder, there’s an “analog” tip system, so please bring a buck or two to support this fabulous team.

This place has a delicious vegetarian breakfast sandwich! This was the one place I was going to miss when I stopped eating meat, but luckily I can still have breakfast! Awesome potato salad too. Ive had the brisket sandwich for lunch and it was also fantastic. I definitely suggest this place to anyone.

I Accidentally stubbled across this amazing spot!!!I ordered for my family a Hot Pastrami Sandwich, BBQ Brisket Sandwich and the Hot Pastrami Dip Sandwich. Man, oh man was the Pastrami AMAZING!!! The Au Jus for the dip was so flavorful with a deep beefy taste.But what was more as amazing than their awesome food, was the even more amazing staff. I believe I was serviced by what might be a Father & Son duo. These men made me feel so welcomed. They greeted me with a true genuine appreciation to their fine establishment. They ask me how my day was going, engaged me and thanked me multiple times for my patronage. And they was so sincere when they were doing so. I felt so very happy to be there and to have found this gem. I WILL CERTAINLY BE BACK AND WILL BE BRINGING FRIENDS.To these two gentlemen, THANK YOU for being awesome.

Excellent pastrami sandwich! Great friendly service. Very quick, no line (we did go on an uncrowded Saturday noon). Cant wait to go back for Reuben, then corned beef then burger. Hard to go wrong. Very good potato salad and great pickles.

The horseradish on their signature corned beef was on point. Definitely a hidden gem since 1948. Come give it a try!!

Review №29

The Ruben sandwich was awful. There was NO saurkraut on it at all. We drove straight home after picking up order and immediately open container and the rye bread was soggy and the sandwich just had meat. We called and rhe customer service was terrible. Would not recommend at all.

Review №30

Taste: Phenomenal.Staff: Friendly, inviting, engaging!Price: Worth it! (Wont lie, Im still adjusting to Seattle prices since moving here from Louisiana, so they seemed high... until I got my Reuben!) This sandwich was stacked high with house-made corned beef. They brine and cook their meat themselves, rather than buying tasteless processed beef. This fed me for 2 meals, and tasted just as good cold when I went for the second half. A new favorite for a quick meal when Im in the area. I will absolutely be back!

Ma
Review №31

Always a good sandwich! Huge sammies, great HOT horseradish and tasty goodness. Ive had the pastrami, corned beef and ruben but always go back to the ruben (like the pic from today). Grab extra napkins and a fork because they stuff the meat into the sandwiches!

I have never written a google review for a place before, but I was eating their Reuben today (take out order) and I thought, I love this so much I need to let other people know how hecking good this sandwich is.In summary get one of their Reubens, I literally guarantee you will love it.

Review №34

Worth the wait during the rush, but if you arrive at 11:30 or 12:30 you’ll miss the rush and save yourself 10 minutes. This place is excellent - I’m here so often I’m on a first name basis with everyone. Good, cheap sandwiches - especially the reubens and cheese steaks. Wouldn’t recommend the corned beef brats, though.Don’t get confused when you walk in: just walk to the right, fill out your order on the paper forms, hand it to the cook, and then go to the front to pay.You can also get packages of corned beef briskets here and they are delicious.

I order from Amazon restaurants. The food is delicious. I had it delivered to my work. The potato salad was really good. Plenty of meat in the sandwich, no skimping there. The pastrami is so good. Would definitely recommend.

Review №36

The corned beef made here is some of the best in Seattle. I used to work a few blocks away and came here a few times. I like the sandwich combo with the soup. When I went there they had a mean split pea soup! The sweetest little thing is that creme cookie they put in the box with everything :) It reminds me of my Grandma Betty who would always have those cookies in her pantry cabinets. Cheers!

Review №38

Best reuben sandwiches in town for 30+ years (even through changes of ownership). Thick sliced, marbled rye grilled until warm and a slight bit crunchy loaded with corned beef, sauerkraut, cheese and 1000 island if you want it - more sandwich than most can get their mouth around. Accompanied by a dill spear, cookie, potato salad and horseradish...mmmm! Personally I leave off the 1000 island and request an extra side of horseradish for total perfection. Iconic Seattle this place remains.

First time here and I had a Ruben...super flavorful, piping hot juicy meat and rye bread that held it together well! The older guys behind the counter were very nice! I love the local owned deli feel. Very simple and great tasting meats!

Review №41

Market House Meats makes the best sandwiches ever! Like hands down! The amount of meat they put on their Reuben is unreal! I could barely pick half the sandwich up. They are definitely not stingy with their servings. The side of potato salad is delicious as well. I need to remember to eat here more often!

Review №45

I’m going to be as unbiased as possible with this place. First off, the best thing about it is the deli atmosphere it has. Totally comes across like it has legit pastrami and is run by somebody who knows what the heck they’re doing. But that’s about the only positive thing I have to say. I should have known from the small sign in corner of the window advertising “breakfast burritos” that it wasn’t going to be that legit. But I walked in and gave it a shot anyways.The pastrami was dry. I’ve had better pastrami from Safeway. No joke. And it didn’t even have any flavor. Also, the Swiss cheese they used on the sandwich was mushy Kraft singles or something. Really messed up the sandwich. The Rye bread was extremely fluffy. And idk why but the fluffy bread combined with the mushy fake cheese just Really put a damper on the sandwich. I ended up leaving the bread and cheese and just eating the pastrami out of the sandwich simply because I paid $17 for it! Basically ate it out of principle. Also, no brown mustard to be found. Anywhere! Packets of yellow mustard is all they had.When I googled “best pastrami in Seattle” this placed popped up first. It is not good pastrami. I hope Seattle has another place somewhere that can redeem their reputation for having good pastrami.

Excellent service! The food is a unique mix and delightful! Im addicted to their fries, they are a must try! The hotdogs are HUGE, theyre an entire meal and extra on their own. Affordable and very trendy decor! I have yet to try the crepes, both savory and sweet, but am looking forward to doing so!

Review №48

For the love of everything you hold dear, if you are in Seattle, you need to stop in and eat at this Seattle institution and one of its best kept secrets. With BBQ and deli style meats, a fridge full of beer and combo meals that include a meaty sandwich, a side and an Oreo for dessert at a cheap price, it’s no wonder this place is full of local construction workers. A hidden gem.

Review №49

Finally got to try market house meats and I am not disappointed. The cold pastrami sandwich was very very good plenty of meat on a soft delicious marble rye bread. Needed mayo and mustard but that didnt detract from how good it was. They are in the Denny triangle so it is best to walk to because parking is a nightmare. One of my top pastrami places on Seattle

Review №59

Wow this place is amazing. No frills. The sandwiches are legit. My husband got the corned beef sandwich and I got the cheese steak. The bread was perfect to soak up all the juices. Our only complaint was that theyre too big to hold since theyre bursting with meat but I dont think thats a negative :) the Philly cheese steak wasnt authentic per say but I still loved it. The potato salad was the best though. I want to go back and get a tub of that!

Review №60

This is the sandwich to beat in Seattle. The fragrant bread they use compliments the corned beef. Big portions. I can only eat one half, but I have witnessed someone take down two whole sandwiches in succession. They put your horseradish on the side. Use it! You will forget the pain, but you will remember the flavor combo. You order on a sheet of paper. To split an order with a friend, write split across the page. The pea soup is great too, of course.

Review №61

This place is amazing! The best pastrami and corned beef in Seattle. The staff is very friendly, you can tell this place has a lot of history and the people who work there show pride in their food. A real Seattle treasure, I make it a habit to split the two best sandwiches on the menu with a friend, the Hot Pastrami Dip + Onions & Cheese, and the Reuben. If you enjoy a hot sandwich, dont miss this place. Makes Tats look like Jersey Mikes. Oh, and the breakfast sandwiches are spot on as well

Review №63

Best Reuben in Seattle, hands down! I have regrets here though. I drove past it repeatedly for over 15 years before I finally tried it. It kind of looks dumpy from the outside and though theyve made some recent updates to the inside, thats not a lot better. The food however, is glorious. The Reuben is my favorite but theyre all good. I love the corned beef and pastrami in any form. Its served piping hot and fresh with a side of potato salad and a Hydrox cookie. So what finally got me in the door? KING5 did a story on where to get the best Reuben on St. Patricks Day a few years ago and this was the top pick. The old fellow who ran it at the time was great and I always got great service from him and his wife (Im assuming?) when I came in. The guys running the grill are always friendly and happy to make any custom tweaks that you request. I understand that the Old folks have retired but the quality remains the same so by all means, eat here. You wont be disappointed!

This is the place I go when I cant think of anything to eat for lunch. Not only because I work super close to this place but for the taste and fast waiting time. My 2 favorites are ruben and corned beef sandwich. Ive been coming to this place for last 3 years and my comments are as follow; great flavor with constancy, just right amount of meat (in my standard), and reasonable price.There is one think that stops me from giving them 5 starts which is there ordering system. You have to fill out your order on a letter size form.

Review №74

Still the best Reuben sandwich in Seattle, hands down. Prices have gone up a buck or two the past couple years but still a good value for what you get; delicious sandwich on great bread, pickle spear, side of potato salad and a cookie. Cheaper than Tats and I prefer the corned beef here.Plus the history, as this place has been around forever in the same location. Originally opened in 1948. Staff is great, super friendly and get your sandwich quickly even when there is a line. If you havent been here you owe it to yourself to give it a try. Its worth it, even though parking around the store is a pain. Find a spot, get inside, grab a menu and pen and get yourself a damn good Reuben sandwich...

Review №76

Always busy at noon but always worth the wait. The sandwiches gigantic - I recommend the Rueben. The corned beef and pastrami are made in-house.The cheeseburger and fries is a near-daily go to (or was until I moved offices a couple blocks away). Always plenty of fries. Get in there before 1130 and youll be set for a quick in and out. Yes, they sell Corned beef by the bag (uncooked), made in-house.They added Gyros and fries to the menu recently, Im trying them Friday.

You can smell the corned beef, pastrami, and roast beef from out side...(it draws you in really) you walk in and see yummy sandwiches and very happy people eating them. The atmosphere is definitely old school deli /butcher shop and the people working there take pride in their sandwiches...just wished that all of the workers were as nice as the one who had greeted us (the other 2 not so friendly)

Around since 1948 and likely little has changed ... for the better! I had the Reuben and whilst I dont normally eat that much meat in one sitting, its a nice treat. Stop in as its a nice change to all the new age vegan-like places cropping up left and right.
