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."
"Hot pastrami sandwich on rye with mustard and melted provolone. It's amazing. You're welcome."Ashley W. | yelp.com
"The Reuben from Lenny’s delicatessen. This is an old Jewish deli in Jonestown- the best Reuben I’ve ever had. And there have been many. They mix together the corned beef and the sauerkraut on the flat top and then steam the cheese over it. Gahhh I need one now."Erin | spillthebeansblog
"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
"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
"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
