great value here. i ordered the cheese and veggie sandwich which was only 4.99. you get a piece of paper, you tick off what you want on the sandwich and voila! you get three slices of cheese and generous amounts of veggies!!!! it was perfect. service can be a bit slow but just be patient. it's not a race, ok? slow down people. i will from now on go to this place whenever i am downtown in the... more

Total disappointment. I ordered the corn beef based on the description heated. When the sandwich arrived it was cold. I told the cashier that it was supposed to be heated but she said it wasn't circled so... Essentially too bad, it was my fault. I mentioned that there is no way I could have known that I would have to circle heated to have it heated and I had ordered the sandwich because it said... more

I'm giving this place zero stars as I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've gone here and have been given rancid meat.. It's a matter of time until someone gets really sick (or dies) from the rotten meat here.

Just stopped in for the first time and bought some bacon and, after talking to the butcher, a whole chicken. I was just going to buy a couple breasts but he offered to cut the whole chicken up for me plus debone and skin the breasts! The total for the whole bird was only slightly more than the breasts alone would have been. (I know, I know, I need to learn to cut up a bird, but that is for... more

I have only gotten food to take away, but all of it has been delicious. They had such awesome sausage flavours as pear/blue cheese, chorizo, and the flattened chickens are really delicious.

They even have a few veggies on hand in case you need them but, being a delicatessen, their primary focus is meat!

I like deli's. My parents owned one growing up, and I have fond memories of fresh sandwiches and goulash soup :). My idea of a good deli, is somewhere with affordable prices, low-key atmosphere, and yummy sandwiches.

St. Jamestown fit this criteria...except it was a little on the high priced side. I got a ham and swiss sandwich on a toasted kaiser for $8. The taste was exceptional and they... more

This really is the creme de la creme of meat shops. Le filet mignon de le filet mignon? I don't know. I'll work on funny meat sayings...

I've had steak, ribs and breakfast sausages from this place, and they were all among the best cuts of meat I've ever purchased. Truly outstanding place to buy your BBQ fare this summer. If this isn't your hood, believe me, it's worth the trip. I'll bet you a... more

What has changed here?
Have gone here for great steaks etc and been very pleased.
Today I picked up a couple steaks...$27...not so great.
Actually the past few purchases have been less than satisfactory.

Back to Cumbraes.

Cabbagetown gem! An awesome place for a quick lunch bite or take out. The sandwiches are good and prices are decent. I've heard a lot of good things about their chili and keep missing it as its a hot item. Will post a review after having it too... more

Great selection of meats (and some vegetables) at reasonable prices. The "Markburgers" (hamburgers) are made five times a day and better than my own fresh-ground creations. Special orders for holidays provide the very best meat, turkeys, hams and veal. The staff can give you smart advice on cooking, too.

I kept passing this by, because there never seemed to be anyone in there....and frankly, I wasn't sure if it was a restaurant or a deli or what. But I'm so glad I finally made it in!

On first glance, the sandwiches seem to be on the pricier end of sandwich shops. Though some run below $5, my turkey sandwich was closer to 8, with no sides. HOWEVER, this sandwich was huge, packed full of meat... more

I had the pleasure of taking part in a steak tasting at St. Jamestown Steak and Chops hosted by owner Mark Michelin by invitation of esteem foodie Joel Solish(@foodie411) from Community Foodis. Not only was it a gorgeous night to hang out on the patio of this local , cabbagetown gem while experiencing some decadent food with good company of fellow foodies.
The challenge as I understand it... more

I tried the Montreal Smoked Meat Sandwich and was not disappointed. The sandwich tasted fresh and was so thick with meat I had to nibble at the edges. The pickles they garnished the plate with were also delicious.

Although a sandwich and a can of coke came out costing me $9+, I would definitely come back. It's hard to find a great sandwich in this city and this place can definitely provide you... more

Had corn beef on dark rye.Disappointing and surprised they did not have sauerkraut.What is corn beef without it! The sign on the front says sandwiches, and delicatessen, so I get they get away with a mediocre sandwich.Asked for mustard, they where skimpy on. Bread to moist, not toasted enough. Meat was a touch to fatty.However it was not to salty! Hearty filling. But not your home happy deli to... more

Nice place, great sandwiches and a nice selection of prepared food. Some items are on the pricey side but portions are generous and everything is quality.

When I first moved into the area one of the first things I looked for was a butcher. Grocery store meat is okay, but still pales in comparison to a good butcher.

I am a carnivore and very far from being a tree hugger, but I do generally prefer my meat to be organic as there tends to be a lot more flavour. Unfortunately that is not on the menu at St Jamestown Steak & Chops. In fact, there is... more

This awesome sandwich shop is attached to St. Jamestown Steak & Chops, so already you know the meat they put on their sandwiches is going to be good. For $4-7.50 you can get a wide variety of sandwiches and wraps from Egg or Tuna Salad, Ham, Salami, Pastrami, to vegetarian options like veggies and cheese, grilled cheese, or P.B. & J with Banana.

They have a great selection of salads and hot... more
