May GOD bless that kind man that worked today on Christmas Eve wearing a baseball cap. He provided such amazing service and was such a kind soul. I had cried already 3x today and I'm out of work. He turned my day around for today. Great business and Fantastic staff. The food also A+ always
Got this doorsdashed to us tonight. First thing, we ordered four deli pickles because they are amazing here. The restaurant was cool enough to call us and let us know they only had one pickle left and instead of us losing out on the money let us pick something else from the deli at no extra charge. The Godfather sandwich is DELICIOUS, pasta salad was bomb, the Reuben corn beef was amazing. Only flaw in the order was the steak sandwich. Avoid this one. So basic. Otherwise loved it and looking forward to ordering again
While I'm traveling around near or far I keep a yeti cooler in my trunk ice packed up for anything to bring back home with me that I can't get near me. A lees deli sub would be going home with me and something Italian like. The place is a local favorite because they were non stop. The place is definitely divey and old looking. The staff worked the counter very well with the volume at the time and my sandwich took a bit. The size chart fools you with mini, regular and XL. The regular is huge compared to chain stores and the XL looked like a whole loaf of French bread sandwich wrapped up. I ordered the Godfather on Italian with pepperoni, pastrami, capicola, mozzarella, provolone, hot giardiniera, mayo, creamy Italian dressing, lettuce, tomato and onion on French bread. OMG the regular is huge for under $10 and Fu#king delicious with all the fresh toppings, meats and cheese. They don't skimp on the sandwich at all and the Paiellis fresh French bread makes this one of a kind awesome goodness. This really filled my crave that I always have for a great sandwich. Lees is no where near me but a road trip to Racine is well worth this hidden gem cranking out awesome sandwiches so I will be back with my cooler for sure. They definitely hit this one out of the park on my visit.
Lee's Deli is a staple in the small city of Racine, WI. I've been a patron of the place since I was the child, and my mother was, too. Lee's Deli has been in the community for over 40 years serving a variety of cold and hot sub-sandwiches, fish and chicken dinners, homemade potato salad, baked beans, cole slaw, macaroni salad and more. Lee's also offers catering services. Pros: - Great subs with fresh deli meats/cheeses - All subs come on a choice of five breads, with five dressing options, as well as lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and/or hot or mild peppers. -weekly specials offered (see pics) - bread scraps are offered to customers, if there are any available. * these are great for avocado toast in the mornings! - Customers can call order in ahead of time- strongly recommend. - very small private parking lot and/or street parking. - employ/ empower students from local HS (Park HS) by hiring students. - local/family owned; Has changed owners a few times since the 1960's, but it's still a great local deli. - Deli also sells few grocery items such as condiments and canned goods, candy, beverages, chips, and frozen pizzas. Cons: - parking lot is super small and street parking is minimal. - could use some renovations inside. -Nowhere for 'walk-in' customers to wait for food except his/her/their car. - inconsistency: I prefer my dressing and peppers on the side to avoid getting my bread soggy before I get home, thus I order it that way. However, there have been a few times where everything was still added to the top and/or the dressing was missing. I noticed that I used to get onion slices on my sandwich. Now, I seem to get chopped onion pieces. Customer service is also a hit or miss. Location: west side of Racine, WI. 2615 Washington Ave, Racine, WI 53405. Phone: (262) 634-2373. Strongly recommend ordering food ahead of time.
Extremely helpful, dedicated to giving you good service , if an issue arises they are happy to accommodate. Great owners and staff, I really appreciate them being open for business in tougher times. These are the places that make this town unique!
I'd like to give some updated feed back. I've been back a new times now since it's under new ownership. I'm happy to say they are BACK. Service was amazing and my food has been excellent everytime. I'm so happy someone else came along to bring lees back to what it once was. I highly recommend going here!
I love Lee's. I go there pretty much every time I'm in Racine. My favorite thing is to get a #3 on Italian bread with a side of chips, a peach Snapple, and a cosmic brownie. You can get all of that and so much more at Lee's. Occasionally, I also get the seafood salad, which is equally delicious! Everything is made quickly and the service is always great. I've never had a bad experience and I love visiting.
