Lucky Dill Deli

I haven't enjoyed a meal like this since I left new York ten years ago. Place is loud so if your faint of heart check out subway. Food is great. Enjoyed a corned beef sandwich on marble rye. Very interesting decor with subway signs and new York memrabilia. They have bags of day old bread that is fresher than publix for a 1.00$ I bought a couple great cupcakes too. more

Wonderful, we finally found a New York Jewish Deli in Florida We LOVE it. For those of you who complained about the food and service, Get a life, you don't know what you are talking about. J.M.Alessio more

I am not from New York nor am I from Jewish background but I am next best. I was born and raised in Miami Beach by my mom who is from the old country, Bavaria. She was brought over to NY and employed by a Jewish family who owned a hotel. They transplanted to Miami Beach and my mom learned to cook authentic kosher cuisine. My dad, well, let's just call him Ricky Ricardo.....Mom always cooked my family kosher food.....and we loved it. Weekends were spent on Miami Beach, specifically, Wolfie's on 21 st......the famous gathering place of all the jewish population in Miami! New York style deli/restaurant for decades! Now....10 years ago I moved to the Tampa Bay area and I never thought I'd come even close to a place like Wolfie's, yet this past weekend I stumbled into the Lucky Dill to get away from the Ironman event where I recently moved to in Palm Harbor. What a delight! It was Wolfie's all over again! Parking can be a problem. I was lucky that at 9 am I found the last spot in front....also construction next door in the plaza blocked off lots of otherwise available parking. I came in for breakfast at 9 am, I ordered my favorite: cheese blintzes! Complimentary banana bread with citrus butter came out almost immediately with a complimentary carafe of OJ. Coffee was excellent. And when the blintzes arrived! I was in heaven. 5 cheese blinzes stuffed with romanoff cheese, strawberry preserves and sour cream AND fresh sliced strawberries. I was sitting right next to the bakery case and while I waited, my mouth watered for the pastries....when the blintzes arrived...THAT problem was solved. It was very filling and I had to take 1/2 of it home. Now, I went in for breakfast and the reason I went in the first place was because my neighbor, who is from Minnesota saw a sign for Wisconsin Fried Cheese Curds. They were not available for lunch....so we did the breakfast thing. He was disappointed so he just had a Bloody Mary. They have a full liquor bar on Saturday mornings! I can't wait to go back on the weekend for lunch more

Lucky Dill has been my #1 favorite chicken (matzo!) soup spot for 20 years or so--since their old location on US19/Alderman. THEN they became my favorite lunch spot in downtown Tampa when I worked there. A couple of years later I was transferred to downtown St. Pete, and within a week a sign for Lucky Dill went up, and I discovered the Waldorf Salad (totally to die for). Lucky Dill is like...home. (If home means your favorite NY Jewish grandma.) Absolute BEST brunches too, btw--lox et. al. more

The Lucky Dill Deli was a welcome find for me--I had just moved to the area from NYC. And I was jonesing for a deli sandwich, a seeming rarity in these parts. Someone mentioned the place, and it was just what I was looking for. Huge, NY-deli style sandwiches (like Katz's or 2nd Ave Deli). But, to my delight, they also serve dinners. For instance, on Friday nights, they normally have a delicious all-you-can-eat fish fry. Not that one can really eat much more than one!! more
