I got the Murad sandwich and it was amazing. The ingredients were all fresh and tasty and the lady who made my sub was super nice. This sub was delicious and it was a monster. My only minor complaint is that the prices were a little on the steep side. I understand that premium goods come with an associated cost, and I will definitely return, but I just feel that the prices were a little high.

I made my first visit here after reading about where to get the best sub in Syracuse. Definitely a great sub! Besides the good eats, place is packed with unique craft beer selection. A real family atmosphere, with comfy seating and friendly service. Cant wait to go back!

Can’t believe that that was the first time going after 21yrs of being in business. What a great time with my wife, daughter and son-in-law enjoying our food, which was EXCELLENT, and the beer selection was FABULOUS and the owners are hard working and do a GREAT JOB. Thank youWILL BE BACK DEFINITELY.

The Wyatt is a larger, meatier version of their Awesome Reuben. Definitely needed a fork and knife to eat it. Good sandwiches in general though.The sandwiches at the Fair deli are made on bread that is twice as large as normal bread, so a half sandwich is what youd get as a whole everywhere else in the state. Its a Syracuse thing... -as I was told.

My son and I stopped in for the first time today. Very cozy atmosphere, staff was incredible and friendly, and the food was excellent. Its a touch out of the way for us, but definitely worth the detour. Well definitely be returning.

Great place to grab a sandwich and a 4-pack of beer. You can also grab single cans and build your own mix pack. My girlfriend and I ate from the deli. She says “that was good. That was like hmmm i don’t know... good”. I think that means good. I don’t know, but I enjoyed my food.

This is such a wonderful deli. Gives me some good nostalgia of my hometown deli on Long Island. They have an awesome beer selection and the owner, Murad, is so friendly and always whips up something vegan for me. Support this small business!

I am giving this business a 1 star rating for a few reasons. But first, whats great about them. They do have a large selection of craft beer and the owner is very outgoing. Thats cool. They also have the potential to make some really delicious food. However, they do not seem to be enforcing the no mask/ no service rule. They are chronically short staffed. The owner takes liberty of changing your order based upon what he thinks you might like. Its frustrating to see wasted potential.

The nicest people own this fresh and wholesome market. Im beyond impressed with the menu selection and value for your money. I went late at night when they could have closed but graciously they never once acted like I was an inconvenience. I even was asked to sample a few items to be sure I liked it before being made. What a gem! I highly recommend.

Review №63

My coworkers and I from CT stopped in for lunch one day as we were up doing work in the area. I ordered whatever they recommended, and they offered me a Gyro. I was told by the chef that it would be the best Gyro in my life, and man was that guy right. I actually went back in to confirm to the chef that it indeed was the best Gyro Ive ever had. If Im up in the area again I will gladly go back and try this place again.

Review №64

At first glance, this place seems like a small town convenience store. However, go inside and to the back and you’ll find a cozy little deli that has Reuben sandwiches they are amazing! Order a half unless you want to end up stuffed. Toasted bread encasing layered corned beef, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing, and Swiss cheese. Best I’ve had in the area.There are a couple tables and a tv back there as well. You order at the counter then pay as you leave because this is also a convenience store and craft beer store.Extremely friendly staff and diverse clientele. Definitely a diamond in the rough. We will be back.

Review №66

This is a great find. You walk in looks like a convenient store. They have every kind of beer you could think of here. They have your bud, labatts, Coors and Millers but they also have a huge variety of craft beers. Then you get back to the deli. You can get a sandwich or burger. However around lunch time each day you dont know what you will come into. Pasta creations or baked chicken or pulled pork. You just really never know and I love that. I have yet to be disappointed in the food.

Review №67

Decided to check this place out after searching online for craft beer stores in the Syracuse area. Im very glad I came to this establishment because the craft beer selection was not only vast, but there were a lot of high quality and rare find beers. To top it off, they make delicious subs and wraps as well, and I found myself grabbing one to accompany the beers I bought!

Review №73

The banner proclaiming an AWESOME REUBEN isnt a lie. Too many delis try to impress with huge portions, but a great Reuben is all about proportions. Fair Deli gets it perfect.Judging by the speed with which my 10 year old made it disappear, their meatball sub must be pretty good too.The store has a very impressive selection of craft beers.If I find myself traveling through the area again, this is a must-stop.

Awesome food. busy for lunch. Call in your order or leave enough time because they can take their time. They only get 5 stars for the food and the location. The staff can leave quite a bit to be desired on a bad day. If you walk in at noon and it is busy it will be an hour visit at least. Learned that after a few times, but as stated above, the food is great.
