This well-known neighborhood eatery opened in 1985 in Owings Mills, Maryland. Lenny Smith and his son, Alan, have claimed Baltimore's appetites for corned beef, pastrami and other "deli"cacies. Baltimore city and county are now served by these two devoted Baltimoreans who appreciate Baltimore's deli tradition.
The second location, in Baltimore's Horshoe Casino, opened in 2014.
Lenny's casual atmosphere and hearty food has created a devoted crowd. Choose Lenny's Deli for all your Owings Mills and Baltimore catering events. Visit them today and you will come away satisfied- guaranteed!
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
"I love the food here!! So much variety!!! Breakfast is delicious, especially the pancakes! The fattest sandwiches I've had in my life!!!!
The people who work there are very friendly too."Robyn H. | yelp.com
"Attentive service with friendly staff. Come in a few times and you will be a regular! The corned beef is awesome and the Reuben is perfect. Also be sure to check out their delicatessen meats and bakery; some of the finest in town."Steven | urbanspoon.com
"A staple in Pikesville, Lenny's is that Classic Sunday morning place you love to visit after you wake up. Started by Lenny and now continued by his son, this is a long standing family business with another location in downtown Baltimore. The staff here in Pikesville (line cooks) can be contagious in their energy and provide an enjoyable experience as you watch them prepare your food first hand. Chances are you may run into a friend or two, or even spot some Ravens players as they frequent the deli. "Jay T. | yelp.com
