Blues City Deli

Blues City Deli is a delicatessen and sandwich shop in Benton Park that makes handcrafted sandwiches including po' boys, Italian hoagies, and Muffuletta specials with fresh ingredients and house-made dressings. The kitchen focuses on quality ingredients and traditional preparation methods.

The restaurant preserves traditional sandwich-making methods shaped by American regional and Italian influences over generations of delicatessen craftsmanship. These techniques have been refined through time and passed down through the food trade.

The shop brings together food traditions from St. Louis with New Orleans po' boy techniques, reflecting multiple regional American cooking styles on its menu. Visitors experience how local eating habits mix with Southern influences across each sandwich.

The restaurant keeps limited hours and accepts major credit cards along with gluten-free options for those who need them. Visitors should check the exact operating times before going, as schedules can vary on different days.

Each sandwich combines specific cuts of meat with house-made sauces, including the Thunderbird featuring turkey, pastrami, capicola, and the signature Boom Boom sauce. This special sauce gives some sandwiches their distinctive taste and memorable character.
