The second location, in Baltimore's Horshoe Casino, opened in 2014.

Baltimore Magazine's annual "Best of Baltimore" addition celebrates "all the best stuff in the best city in the world". Lenny's Deli beat the local competition in a head-to-head "throwdown".
The Decision
"It's Lenny's! The inch-thick sandwich wins extra points for its melt-in-your-mouth beef and easy-on-your-wallet price."
"The corned beef, which I sampled, however, was among the best I have ever tasted. (Order the regular, not the lean. If you want lean, go to a health club.) The corned beef was easily equal, if not better, than New York's."Roger Simon | Baltimore Sun
"Hot pastrami sandwich on rye with mustard and melted provolone. It's amazing. You're welcome."Ashley W. | yelp.com
"Honey was craving a sandwich and suggested Subway,,,NOT..so we tried Lenny's. He ordered the Corned Beef with onions on wheat and the sandwich was as heavy as a brick. I ordered a chicken salad with honey mustard, lettuce tomato and american cheese, and it was huge. The sandwiches came with pickles, then we went to what they call the dark side, ie the BAKERY. My paramour ordered a chocolate danish and it was delicious. The chocolate topping was like a thick fudge and it was fabulous..more like desert than a breakfast pastry. I ordered the applee beatty croissant and it did not look as large as it actually was until we got home and I pulled it out of the bag..it was like a brick, and it took the both of us to eat it....divine."Nicole H. | yelp
"Best Deli in Baltimore! I moved from Baltimore 24 years ago and recently returned to the area. I had to stop by Lenny's for breakfast. Fantastic election of deli meats, smoked fish, cheese, and other treats. The bagels are fresh and the whitefish salad is the best i have had ANYWHERE! I have only been to the Owings Mills location. If you like good deli food (and great breakfasts), don't miss Lenny's!"Alan G. | yelp.com
"It's all about the breakfast food here. The specials are the best bet. The pancake special is a good one. I also enjoy their bagels with egg and cheese and bacon. The fried chicken is also delicious."Lauren S. | yelp.com
