All The Best Deli Debuts “The Best Bar”

By

All The Best Delicatessen, Dayton’s New York-style deli,  announced an exciting new addition to its dining experience: The Best Bar. Nestled at the heart of the deli’s welcoming dining space, The Best Bar will offer guests a new way to enjoy their favorite meals—with thoughtfully crafted beverages and a warm, vibrant atmosphere.

Whether guests choose to sit at the bar itself or order a drink to enjoy with their meal, The Best Bar is designed to enhance the All The Best experience from breakfast through dinner. This full bar features a selection of cocktails, bottled and draft beers, white and red wines, and tasty bar bites. The bar will blend classic deli comfort with contemporary bar flair.

“This bar is a natural extension of what we’ve always strived for—creating a place where people feel at home while enjoying the best food and drink around,” said owner Lee Schear. “The Best Bar is about raising the bar—literally and figuratively—for what a deli can offer.”

Features of The Best Bar include:

  • Strawberry Lemonade Sunrise – a delicious taste of summer brought right to your seat

  • Rhinegeist Truth IPA and Warped Wing Trotwood Lager – supporting Ohio breweries

  • Grilled Hot Dog Sliders, Grilled Salami, and Charcuterie Platters

  • Full access to the All The Best menu for dine-in guests at the bar

  • Beverage service is available throughout the dining area

The Best Bar is set to officially open its doors to the public on July 8, 2025, with operating hours from 11:00 am – 8:00 pm Monday-Friday, and earlier for breakfast on the weekends.

“As we continue to grow, we’re staying true to our roots,” said co-founder Carin Solganik. “We want this to feel like the neighborhood deli people know and love—but with a few new twists that make it even better.”

All The Best will also be adjusting its breakfast offerings. Beginning in July, full breakfast will be available on Saturdays and Sundays from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. This new schedule allows the team to continue delivering the quality and consistency customers have come to expect. Select breakfast menu items will be available every day, all day.

Dayton at Work & Play: All The Best Delicatessen

By

Carin Solganik

This week’s Buy Local Monday conversation is with Carin Solganik of All The Best Delicatessen.

When my wife and I moved to Dayton from Cleveland we found many things here that we loved, but we missed our regular visits to Corky and Lenny’s delicatessen. When I learned that Corky and Lenny’s was one of the inspirations for this Dayton restaurant I knew I had to try it.
Owner Lee Schear says he’s always wanted to bring an authentic New York deli to Dayton. He recruited Carin to set it up after she retired from Heinen’s Grocery store in Cleveland. “Before starting this restaurant I went to New York, Cleveland, Chicago, Houston, Las Vegas and elsewhere” she said “and I learned something at every stop about how to run a deli and how to source the best ingredients. I got lots of recipes from the delis I visited and had Lee taste them all. We ended up using all the best, which is where the restaurant’s name comes from.”
I tried their Ruben, and loved it. This will be definitely be one of my regular lunch stops. I’m looking forward to trying their cheesecake and comparing it to the cheesecake I loved at Corky and Lenny’s. Carin said she went through a lot of versions before choosing a cheesecake recipe. It’s made to their specifications by Sweet Butter Bakery in Cincinnati. They also carry baked goods from Cleveland’s Davis Bakery.
I tasted two of their soups and thought they were great. Carin told me they make their soups using stock they make themselves. They also make their own deli salads and even their own mustard. Carin says they’re doing everything they can to bring the best possible New York style deli food to Dayton.
