Sue’s Deli

This is a sad review to write – 5 stars for what once «was»…I drove by Sue’s yesterday after last eating there about a month ago and it was closed. It appears to be reopening as a sort of Hispanic grocery/​market or something, but no mention of what happen to Sue’s. I’m SO sad – not only was Sue’s a great lunch destination because of the great deli food and handmade salads and soups, (and she was TOO reasonable!), it was a friendly place, chock full of great ladies working there, including Sue herself. I’ve never felt more welcome and if anyone reading this knows what happened to Sue and her crew, if they might reopen elsewhere, or what, please message me. Sigh. Another independent business gone while the myriad of chains just keeps on, keepin’ on!

I found a treasure. I’m hesitant to share it. It’s on Lee and 12^th in Covington. It’s Sue’s Deli.
I’ve been driving past this place for years now on a generally weekly basis and never have gone in. Over the past few months they’ve been tearing up 12^th St. and I was really hungry and out amidst the construction was a sign advertising a Reuben. I like Reubens. So I pull over and walk into what I hoped at best would be better than fast food and at work I’d blow $ 5.
Nope. It’s great.
Nothing fancy, just a convenience store in a old building with great hardwood floors, some groceries, three tables and three women behind the deli counter looking like their having a great time. I wasn’t sure what to order and hesitated. A woman I’d guess is Sue told me she makes a great double decker sandwich. I nod yes and she gets to work all the while greeting her customers — a cop and some construction workers.
A delicious sandwich in a bright, clean, friendly environment. Oh, and the sandwich was huge.
Go support Sue’s.
