DINING OUT
Westside Deli's fresh items produce original sandwiches
Finding a good sandwich in Lawrence isn't hard. A multitude of delis offer the classic meat and cheese sandwiches at a reasonable price. Westside Deli and Market, 4931 W. 6th St., is one Lawrence deli that offers more than the same old sandwich.
Westside Deli's off-campus location makes it a little out of the way. Located in a corner of a strip mall, the ambiance inside the restaurant is great. Lots of small tables fill the intimate restaurant, and each table has a candle. The walls are decorated with beautiful oil paintings that are for sale. A market area,

selling specialty cheeses, is in one corner.
The sandwich menu offers some regulars like roast beef and grilled cheese. Their fresh ingredients add a little something refreshing to the sandwiches that other delis are missing. The roast beef was served on a huge ciabatta roll and was topped with lots of lettuce, pesto
mayonnaise and thick mozzarella chunks. Cinnamon applesauce was served as a side dish. A half-sandwich that costs $5.50 yields a huge sandwich. It is hard to imagine how big the full size, $9 sandwich is.
The grilled cheese was your ordinary grilled cheese sandwich, with your choice of bread and cheese. The wheat bread and cheddar cheese sandwich that was served looked nothing more than what any college student could whip together in the kitchen. A side of tomato soup made up for what the grilled cheese lacked — originality. Textured, but not chunky, the soup was delicious and wasn't clogged with chunks of tomatoes. The grilled cheese
and side of soup cost $6.50.
The service was average. There was no greeter at the door and it was a guessing game as to whether customers sat themselves or had to wait to be seated. Once sitting at a table, the waitress appeared a little busy with another task, despite the relatively quiet and small crowd that was gathered. The food came out quickly, however, and the staff was friendly.
Overall, Westside Deli and Market offers interesting menu options if you are looking to liven up your everyday sandwich. The wait staff could be better, but for a deli the offerings felt far more sophisticated than any other Lawrence restaurant.
