Athens, Ohio's Legendary Deli

Bagel Street Deli.

Deli sandwiches with names you can't say in church.

Court Street's most beloved, most irreverent, most outrageous sandwich shop. Open since 1991. Bagels made fresh daily. Sandwiches named by people who do not take themselves seriously.

EST. 1991 ATHENS

The Kevorkian

Triple-stacked smoked turkey, sharp cheddar, horseradish mayo, shredded lettuce, pickled onion, tomato, everything bagel. You will not walk away from this.

Balls Deep

Italian sausage, roasted red peppers, provolone, giardiniera, spicy mayo, toasted onion roll. Goes all the way.

Chris Farley

Massive pastrami, Swiss cheese, whole grain mustard, sauerkraut, pickle spear. Big. Loud. Unforgettable. Lives in a van down by the river.

The Incident

Jalapeño cream cheese, sliced brisket, pickled jalapeño, caramelized onion, chipotle aioli, arugula, asiago bagel. Consequences may follow.

The Ohio Problem

Smoked ham, American cheese, brown mustard, shredded iceberg, white onion, pickle, poppy seed bagel. The sandwich Ohio deserves and needs.

Hot Mess

Egg, hash brown, cheddar, chorizo crumble, salsa verde, cilantro, sour cream, jalapeño. Breakfast sandwich gone feral. Served until 1PM.

The Full Hippie

Hummus, roasted beets, cucumber, avocado, sprouts, red onion, tahini, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach bagel. Surprisingly not a disappointment.

The Regret

Extra smoked salmon, full cream cheese, cucumber, everything seasoning, capers, lemon, dill, red onion, plain bagel. You'll do it again tomorrow.

Athens
Eats Here.

Bagel Street Deli has been a Court Street fixture since 1991. Three decades of feeding hungover students, local professors, deli pilgrims, and anyone else stumbling down Court Street before 4PM.

We bake our bagels fresh every morning. We name our sandwiches whatever we feel like. We have no apologies and no reservations.

This isn't a brunch spot. This isn't a lifestyle brand. This is a deli. You order at the counter. You take a number. You eat the best sandwich in Athens. You come back tomorrow.

"Best sandwich in Ohio, fight me."
— Anonymous Athens University sophomore, 2019
