Nielsen's Delicatessen - Houston

Only real houstonians know about this. ? the potato salad and the yellow secret spread they put on the sandwiches are especially good. I usually get turkey or pastrami and a bag of chips

Popular deli serving great favorites. Good portions. Varied menu. Clean store. Fast service. Eat in or take out. Reasonable prices.

I have been here twice. The first time, I made the mistake of purchasing the regular size turkey sandwich. It was TOO MUCH for me and I ended up discarding some of the turkey. The second time I knew to order the junior . The junior is more fitting for me (still maybe a bit much but I almost finished the whole thing).Sandwiches come with Nielsen 's signature Mayo and mustard spread. You have to add cheese, lettuce, tomato at an extra cost (understandable). I look forward to trying the chicken and egg salads. Maybe even try their tuna salad one day. I will order the deviled eggs next time, I have heard great things about them. Will be back many times!

I've been eating turkey sandwiches from NIelson's since I was a kid and it was in Highland Village. The sandwiches have sadly gotten smaller, and they no longer have the rum cakes, but it's still the best sandwich anywhere and I love the fruit salad! I moved away years ago, but still make it a stop any time I'm in Houston!
