Kurt Schulz Deli

$ 14.95 for a mediocre pastrami sandwich, small drink and a side of Very Mediocre pasta salad.
Oh and Fox News is always blaring in the back round.
I want to like it, but all the above has made it hard.

So Kurt’s looks like the beginning of a Restaurant Impossible episode. I came here for lunch based on the reviews and all I can say is it must have been better 3 years ago (the reviews are all from 2011, its 2014 as of this writing).
I had a «Super» sandwich, bag of chips, and a soda. Came to just over 10 dollars. The «Super» is ham, pastrami, salami, and roast beef, Swiss, cheddar, topped with cole slaw. It should have been warm — mine was not. The amount of meat on the sandwich was generous, and the meat tasted good. The cole slaw was at best average, with very little flavor. The soda was a clear solo cup, and an individual sized chips. Definitely over priced. I could have gotten the same, better sandwich at a chain store for cheaper.
There is no décor, the dinning room is carpeted and blah. The deli case looks disgusting. The metal is rusted and pitted and the meats, cheeses, and salads were haphazardly arranged in the case that had plenty of room for more. Everything screamed «old and used» to me.
The icing on the cake was watching the woman behind the counter make my sandwich. It didn’t hit me until I sat down with my sandwich but she made it with no gloves on. Granted she washed her hands after making my sandwich, so I’m going with her hands were clean, but there’s just something about watching a stranger handle your food bare handed that makes it less than appetizing.

I love this place. Being new to Germantown + needing a dependable restaurant had be nervous… but this deli has given me an awesome experience every time. The chili is amazing + they’ll work with your order — even if you’re a paleo trainer. I highly recommend the Kurt Schulz deli!

Super good food and great service. Husband had the corned beef and said it was the best he’s had (& he’s had his share of corned beef).

On a commute from West Bend to Walworth County, we wanted to stop for a quick lunch. We turned off the freeway for a Jimmy Johns, but, as you’ll have in Wisconsin, the Jimmy Johns was actually another mile into town. So we were just looking for something closest to the exit. Schulz Kurt Delicatessen and Restaurant looked like just the ticket.

We both ordered the cheese and ham grill, assuming it came with all the fixins. But, it was just your standard (american tasting) cheese and ham grill – nothing too fancy. We got to select a side, so we went with the potato salad. It was a bit too mustard flavored for my taste.
I was a bit surprised by our total $ 25.60 for basically two orders of a grilled cheese with ham, a side of potatoes, and a Snapple. I guess this isn’t too bad for a local joint.
The FOX news on the television was a little ridiculous. That particular show might as well have been Maury Povish. It probably wouldn’t have been that distracting had the sound not been turned up so high. You were pretty much forced to watch/​listen if you were eating in.
When all was said and done, Jimmy Johns probably would have been better. Though it pains me to say that since I do prefer supporting local establishments.

I live in Germantown and went to Kurt Schulz Deli for the first time only a a month ago. The first time I went there I ordered a breakfast sandwich it was great! I have been there 5 times after. I am obsessed! I haven’t had anything on the menu that I haven’t absolutely loved. If you are going there for lunch try a Reuben; best I’ve ever had. They have so many sandwich choices not only for lunch, but for breakfast as well. They also have great salads… Pasta, broccoli, potato all delicious. They have excellent homemade cookies as well.
TRY IT!
