I've been eating Nielsen's Delicatessen food here sincethe early 1960's, through 3 generations of Nielsen's, and today my regular pastrami on rye bread was inedible due to a streak of gristle left in the pastrami. The rye bread was like just ordinary bread from a grocery store. The pastrami here used to be, until not so long ago, very lead and all fat was trimmed off of it. Not any more. Just thought I'd put up a warning to anyone who used to visit Nielsen's as recently as the 3rd generation - that Nielsen's is long gone. This was my last visit and a VERY disappointing one.

Very old school deli, and every established business in this area. They make their own mayonnaise so I gravitate to the chicken salad and potato salad for lunch. Few places to sit so I always get it to go. In and out quickly or call ahead. Don't miss this place, you just may discover your new favorite sandwich shop.

So freakin' good!!! Had work in the area, decided to treat myself to lunch, was not disappointed; pastrami on rye was ✨fabulous✨! Staff was very welcoming, gave recommendations as to popular menu items. Will definitely be back!Parking: Parking around front and side; some patrons will park somewhat "creatively", so just be aware & alert.

I’ve been coming here since I was 18: it’s amazing how they can make a simple turkey sandwich become something amazing, but somehow they do! Their homemade mayonnaise is delicious… they haven’t changed a thing in 70 years, and I hope they don’t!

Nielsen's is a iconically Houston. They have been in business ever since I can remember. Very popular with Houston's old guard. The sandwich are piled high with quality meat & their famous spread. If you want lettuce or tomato, be sure to ask. Their potato salad is rich & creamy & has egg Their deviled eggs are delicous & not to be missed. If you like a sweet treat, they offer a soft cheesecake, brownies or cookies. Definitely give this old time deli a try. You'll be hooked!

Can't believe this place has been open my whole life and I'm just discovering it. The vibe here is Sunday afternoon with your grandma and I am here for it. Everyone working is so friendly and wonderful, I felt happier just ordering. My pastrami sandwich has a hefty helping of pastrami (I'll probably have to save my second half) to make room for the deviled eggs (HUGE) and pickle I couldn't leave without. I also got a chocolate chip cookie and brownie. This place is such a gem, service was super quick I didn't even have time to finish reading all the cute history they had up on the wall. That article from Gourmet magazine from way back when requesting their potato salad hit me in the feels. I love how this place is not just a great spot to grab some lunch but a little piece of Houston past tucked away.

Absolute best potato salad on the planet! The homemade Mayo makes it super special. Great sandwiches and attentive service. Best to take out as seating is limited. Has gotten a bit pricey through the years, but in an upscale area.

I have been going to and enjoying the great deli sandwiches and other foods at Nielsen's since I moved to Houston in 1970. Has anyone noticed that lately the sandwich meat, which used to be piled on high, is likely half as much meat as they used to serve?
