Where It All Began

Our Heritage

1982

Joe and Jeanette Kanaan arrived in America with little more than their family recipes and an unwavering commitment to quality.

2012 – Joe’s New Home

In 2012, Joe’s moved next door to a spacious new building at the southeast corner of Hilliard Boulevard and Wooster Road. The roomy dining space now seats 185 (up from 120), with an additional 50 parking spaces in our reconfigured lot. Large windows provide striking neighborhood views, plus a coffee bar, a dedicated takeout pickup area, and handicapped-accessible restrooms.

Today

We recognize that our faithful patrons, hard work and support from family and friends helped make Joe's Deli one of the best restaurants in Cleveland!

Thank you for your loyalty and patronage. Joe's Deli would not be the success it is without you, our customers! So, as we always say,

"May our dear Lord bless you as you continue to bless us!"

With love and gratitude,

Joe and Jeannette Kanaan

Stop by soon to see Joe’s handsome new building and treat yourself to our famous, generously portioned deli-style delectables.
