We are always greeted with kindness & courtesy. It may seem simple, but it's a place where we enjoy the world's most delicious sandwiches. Thank goodness you exist.View more

Lovely historic deli! I visited Wilensky's as part of a food tour, & it was a very fun peek into Montreal's culinary history. It makes a very cheap, quick lunch if you're in the area, & I appreciate that the deli still feels like a 1920s movie set. The staff is super friendly & feels extremely passionately about their mustard -- so don't try to ask for a sandwich without it -- & it feels like a lovely neighborhood joint. They specialize in the Wilensky special, which includes grilled bologna, salami, cheese, & mustard on a Kaiser roll, which my fellow food tour guests seemed to really enjoy. Their vegetarian alternative had egg salad & mustard on a Kaiser roll, which was tasty, but honestly not my favorite part of the tour; the bread was a little bit too dry, & it felt rather one-note with just the egg salad. Even so, it was a really fun visit, & I'm sure it's better for folks who eat meat.View more

No trip to Montreal's complete for me without a Wilensky's with Swiss cheese & extra mustard! Absolutely delicious little snack with a proprietary corn meal dusted bun that I have never seen anywhere else makes this the perfect little treat. A MUST eat in Mile End!View more

Great people, good food that always hits the spot we went on a secret food tour & came back the next day. The sandwiches are the best I ever had. It's a baloney, mustard, & cornmeal type bun with great texture. Also comes with a side of pickle spears. Will come back again when we go to MontrealView more

Who could ever forget about the famous & iconic most likely 1st business open selling sandwiches in fallbrook. I personally remember welinsky's from their delicious bread they serve best sandwich bread me & my bois dom & nick would grab as an after school snack.
Wait times fasttttt af boi or gurl...
& topping it all off the customer service along with all staff & sandwich artists are top tier always got a smile on their face being professional it doesn't matter what kind of past or broken relationships that have been raptured. They keep it pop ruling their tasks on cycle.
Who can forget an order when it's all written & quoted for in the big book. Don't order 6 times a day tho. Cuz that book will turn into a 6 figure sequel of non stop tasty bread in the 6 libraries across NC.
Not too many MC's got dissed but the whole flock couldn't evade their associations in stuff I'm too lazy to by a new suit for. Just like her I'm sayin Thank you next, tryna get atleast another 36,000 people in the association that'll be enough motivation to not only wine n dine in but also write down the names of each little one of Santa's helpers not leaving & race religion or body dismorphia attributes behind cuz we're all equal :)
I'll camp out the big house for 72,000 minimum.
Freedom of speech is cool but impeding & shredding up someone's privacy civil rights now that's just radical
