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.

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
"The pastrami and Swiss on rye is a solid build, with tender, peppery meat, thinly sliced and thickly stacked. You can guide the creation of these sandwiches, and we specified Swiss as the cheese choice. Lenny's delivered its melted glory in abundance. Along with the rye bread, this was a well-balanced and filling sandwich."The Baltimore Sun
"This place is a true delicatessen! It serves breakfast all day, sandwiches stacked with thinly sliced meats, a real deli section and a wide dessert selection.
I came here for lunch for the first time today and since Lenny's won the throwdown against Attwaters Deli, I just had to try the corned beef sandwich with coleslaw and russian dressing (I ordered mine with less dressing). The meat is pretty lean (probably the most lean corned beef I've ever had) and it's stacked high. You wouldn't think the sandwich is that big but it was REALLY filling! I would recommend ordering this sandwich hot. "Michelle J. | yelp.com
