Today, for our second lunch date in the Quad Cities, we went to the Village Corner Deli, 1030 Mound Street, Davenport. Located in the Village of East Davenport neighborhood, it is surrounded by historic storefronts and homes. The front of the deli is stylish, and the atmosphere inside is cozy.
The person who recommended the Corner Deli raved over the "New Yorker", which is their name for a reuben, so I ordered that. It was delicious. The corned beef was fresh made, the cheese was perfectly melted, and the sauerkraut was flavorful without being too pungent.
Jane ordered the "Smoked Turkey Reuben", and we mixed and matched halves of each other's sandwiches to try both. The Smoked Turkey Reuben is has smoked turkey, smoked gouda cheese, and cole slaw. Overall it was a very good turkey sandwich. The only nit I would pick is that either over the top or in the cole slaw there was a taste of celery seed that sometimes distracted from the smokiness of the turkey and cheese.
For a side, I had the potato salad, which was well-reviewed online and was very good. Jane had the sour cream and cheese macaroni salad, which I have to admit was probably the better choice. Both were fresh made.
Overall, the Village Corner Deli was a great choice for lunch, and would easily hope to make it a regular lunch spot, if it weren't for a desire to go out and try more places.
